Ohio Sec of State Husted Admits Election Officials Agree Not to See Election Software

[palani]

they that do not vote do not and should just stfu.

Q.E.D!

Those who vote agree to a political contest where the vote determines the outcome. Those who do not vote are saying that it doesn't matter who enters office but rather that whoever is in office is accountable to his oath. Those who voted for or against the one who made it into office have no way to hold the incumbents feet to the fire. They have agreed to a political contract. Those who have no voter registration have agreed to no such political contract and might be able to free themselves from mischief of the majority.

And THAT is the difference.

Maybe those who vote should just stfu?

This Warning Letter to Clear Channel Radio and the FCC give an indication of what it's like to "fight on the front lines" in today's world.

Clear Channel Radio has repeatedly messed with my radio ads and radio programs over the years. Not everytime, but periodically and repeatedly from 2002 to 2012.

My dealings with the FCC indicate that problems may be on the rise there.

This letter will explain "Real World Politics" -- as the precious and few are alert and fighting -- while millions of people on our side allow themselves to be turned into brain-dead drones by False Opposition leaders and movements.

The Warning Letter to Clear Channel Radio and the FCC, which I overnighted to them about 8 hours ago (at 10 PM Thursday nite via Fed EX) - is below in this ewire, and can also be found linked on the Home Page at

Re: Intention to file with the FCC for WKRC-AM’s (550 AM) station license, and follow up with a lawsuit if need be with a jury demand for the license of WKRC-AM radio (550 AM), a Clear Channel Radio Station, if there is any further obstruction to the radio ads and political programming that I pay for as a federal candidate under the Reasonable Access Law, and the related body of law, which requires that any federal candidate who suffers systematic obstruction for Reasonable and Fair access to air time be awarded the station license of the offending FCC-licensed radio or TV station.

To whom it may concern at each establishment:

Over the last 12 years, my candidacy has suffered what Thomas Jefferson might have called a “long train of abuses” at WLW (700 AM) and WKRC (550 AM) in Cincinnati, Ohio with regard to political advertising I have purchased. And these types of abuses only happen to me, no other political candidate, and I would guess no other business who advertises with Clear Channel. I’m willing to bet that these abuses don’t happen to any other federal candidate in the United States.

This is remarkable, since I generally spend only a few thousand dollars per election cycle. Apparently, someone or someones are afraid of a few minutes to a few hours of an alternative view, which I express, versus the programming which fills 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and 365 days a year with the “mainstream” opinions on these same subjects which are universally and uniformly held by ALL on-air personalities on Clear Channel Radio across the USA, at all 1200+ stations.

Before I list three of these abuses as examples, let me take the mystery out of it: I have publicly criticized in my political ads and programs the organized Jewish lobby (such as AIPAC, the American Israeli Public Affairs Committee, and the ADL, the Anti-Defamation League of B’nai B’rith). I have also criticized the some of the actions of the government of the state (is it our 51st state?) of Israel.

Now – if I had called for the nuclear bombing of Arab countries (as Talk Show Host Bill Cunningham of Cincinnati, Ohio has done, or as Talk Show Host Michael Savage of San Francisco, California has done, both of whom are carried, or have been carried for years on Clear Channel Radio stations), I feel certain that I would not have been subjected to any abuses or sabotage at all, but maybe would have been given my own talk show on Clear Channel radio somewhere!

Also before listing three of these abuses, as examples, let me state that the salesmen and saleswomen, the programmers, and the producers I have dealt with (when I’ve bought an hour or two hour radio show on Sundays near the primary or general election) have been A-1 first class individuals in all regards, and have always treated me extremely fairly. It is always someone in the background who attempts or succeeds in obstructing my ads and programming.

First Example:

In the 2002 congressional campaign in the first district of Ohio: A former employee of Clear Channel in Cincinnati named Bill Reinberger (who now works for the Cincinnati Reds) went into the studio of WLW and told the on-air producer (on the first day I was running radio ads) to quit running my ads. I found this out because we always monitor and tape the radio stations to make sure that are ads are run. When they stopped running that day 12 years ago, I called the on-air producer and he told me he had been ordered to stop running my ads by Bill Reinberger, and to stop running only my radio ads.

Needless to say, this is a total violation of the Reasonable Access body of laws, and is EXACTLY why the US Congress passed that law in the 1970s, and why a Federal Appeals Court right under the US Supreme Court, I believe the District of Columbia Circuit, upheld the law with a vengeance in Becker v. FCC in 1996. In that case, filed in 1992, about 350 FCC licensed radio and tv stations joined with the FCC against the lone congressional candidate, Dan Becker of Georgia. But the Federal Appeals Court upheld freedom of speech and the Reasonable Access Law exactly to prevent pinheads and political adversaries at radio and tv stations from CENSORING the free speech of federal candidates, AND THEREBY CENSORING the free speech of all of those US citizens who contribute to help put the such radio ads of a federal candidate on the air on FCC licensed radio or tv stations.

In the first days of 2008 (I believe it was that year because the ads were addressing computer votefraud concerns involving sabotage against the Ron Paul Presidential Campaign, but I haven’t located my file on that instance), a “Thank God It’s Friday” type radio station manager in New Hampshire decided to refuse all of my radio ads because he didn’t like them. Unfortunately, after a three way call, an official at the FCC, upheld the decision of this radio station manager to refuse my radio ads, -- because I wasn’t running for Congress in that area. (The radio station manager sent me my money back, and didn’t run any of my ads.)

Of course, there is no provision in the law itself or in the federal court decision upholding the idea which restricts what radio stations a federal candidate can run ads on, any more than there are laws restricting what areas in the USA a federal candidate can mail to, or email to. Every fair minded person realizes that this is a decision of the CANDIDATE, not the often shallow and alcohol-friendly station managers at radio stations, run for profit.

And in 2005, when I put on some radio ads in Chicago at WLS-AM (a Cumulus station) defending freelance reporter, Christopher Bollyn, who was tasered for absolutely nothing in the legal realm, but no doubt for the articles he was writing about Michael Chertoff, 9-11, and computer vote fraud. Bollyn was tasered by local police, who had recently been trained by Homeland Security, -- tasered on his own front lawn in front of his wife and kids. The story is more sordid and ominous than that (on the part of the local police and local courts), but let that suffice for now.

These same radio ads were also highly critical of Homeland Security Chief (at that time), Michael Chertoff. In that instance, the station manager of WLS, a Mr. Chuck Kelley, called me near the end of the first day of the running of my ads (Wednesday before election day in 2005) and told me frankly he had a team of lawyers working on how to get my ads off the air, because the response and calls to the station were making it hard to run the station.

The malefactor afternoon radio host on WLS-AM, who uses the “stage name” of Roe Conn, announced on that Wednesday or Thursday that he would get my ads thrown off the air on WLS (the ads were already paid for on Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Monday before the election day). Roe Conn is so proud of his part in the eventual censorship of my ads that he mentions this incident and myself in his Wikipedia entry.

Well, in this case it was Media Division Assistant Chief, Mr. Bobby Baker, who intervened to give WLS the green light to stop running my ads after Thursday of that week, and instead return $2000+ dollars for the ads I had paid for on the coming Friday and Monday.

In one of our conversations, Mr. Baker told me “this is not going to end well for you.” And in another he had a lawyer in his office from the FCC who informed me that I had no right as a federal candidate to run ads outside of my “Contoured coverage area” (or some jargon phrase like that), which apparently was the coverage of stations that actually could be heard in my area. (Never mind that WLS-AM DID reach and could be heard in Cincinnati, Ohio at night!) When I asked this lawyer for his name in case there were any follow-up conversations – he refused to give me his name!!!!!!! (Of course, I might refuse to give my name too if I was violating the rights of a federal candidate and all his supporters by giving false advice and opinions. This is a very specific violation of my rights as a federal candidate and the rights of my supporters, and an abuse of one holding a government office.)

In a subsequent conversation shortly after that phone meeting, Mr. Baker conceded that the literal reading of the law seemed to favor my position (that I as a federal candidate could advertise anywhere in the US under the Reasonable Access Law) but that bureaucrats (my word) at the FCC had made some rulings in recent years, blah, blah, blah. So maybe this issue is something that needs to be litigated at some point, maybe the next time I see a need to advertise in another city or state, and am refused by the station.

Mr. Chuck Kelly of WLS, the station manager, who I felt was a stand up guy, told me in another conversation after he had been given the green light to refuse the Monday and Tuesday ads and instead return my campaign’s money, that he was glad my ads were removed from his station after only two days because of all the calls coming into the station, but that he would want to get involved if I ever litigated the issue – because he had never heard of the phrase “contour broadcast area” in over 20 years of being in management of radio stations, and he would like to see these things settled exactly by the courts.

I received an overnight returning my campaign’s $2000+ the next day from WLS-AM.


Second Example:

In 2008, during one of my 1 hour radio programs, the broadcast over the internet at www.55krc.com did not carry the first 20 minutes of my political radio program, but instead carried TWENTY SOLID MINUTES of one minute business ad. (Who else does this happen to, I would like to know?)

We had advertised all over the internet via email as well as via conference calls to supporters that interested citizens could listen anywhere worldwide on the internet. This tactic is obviously to make those who tune in think that my campaign had goofed up and given the wrong time, and quit listening (but a number of my supporters, who are willing to testify and give affidavits if and when this issue is ever litigated, immediately recognized this as deliberate sabotage by someone, somewhere at Clear Channel – to censor my free speech and message, as well as that of all my supporters. By the way, since the Supreme Court has ruled since these problems arose that “money is speech”, this puts myself and other federal candidates in an even stronger position, if that be possible.)

I was told by the then program manager at WKRC that this was an innocent mistake (HA!) and that FCC licensed stations didn’t have to simulcast over the internet. Oh, really? Well this sounds like another issue that may need to be litigated if such antics happen again. The Reasonable Access law says that the FCC licensed station must give equal and reasonable access to all federal candidates on par with what is accorded to businesses. When all other programming is simulcast on the internet throughout the other 364 days, and 21 to23 hours of the year, including all paid business programs,
including all paid religious programs, including all political interviews, and I believe including all political ads – then what is the justification to obstruct my one hour radio show alone on the internet simulcast of WKRC?

After all, the station would not be enjoying such prestige to attract listeners worldwide if it did not have its FCC license through which it benefits from participating in carrying big name radio hosts, such as Glenn Beck, Rush Limbaugh, and Sean Hannity, as is the case with WKRC-AM.


Third Example:

In 2012, two Sundays before the Election, we had advertised a few thousand dollars worth of radio ads the week before to advertise the Sunday night 1 hour radio program. BUT – when the program began, a PRE-RECORDED voice came on informing the listening audience that WKRC was going to run a RE-BROADCAST of an hour of the George Noury “Coast to Coast” program. (This, such a re-broadcast of Coast to Coast AM in any other slot than midnight to 5 AM has never happened on WKRC-AM.)

This “Coast to Coast” rebroadcast went on for seven or eight minutes, as listeners who had tuned in locally and nationwide SPECIFICALLY to hear my program, left the program, as some of my good friends told me that even they did.

This tactic, again obviously to drive listeners away from listening to my program, also destroys the value of the advertising dollars we put into advertising the program the week before. It is just like stealing from my supporters. Mr. Chuck Fredrick, the President of the Cincinnati, Ohio Clear Channel office, never responded to me directly or took one of my calls – but put his excellent salesmen in the middle to tell me that Fredrick decreed to make up the hour the next Sunday by letting us broadcast from 10 PM to midnight instead of 10 PM to 11 PM, to make up the hour sabotaged the Sunday before.
This is a repeated tactic I have faced in many years where the ads are not played in a timely manner, and then when we call the station on it – our ads are played bunched up in a small window, thus destroying the spaced repeat value of radio ads, or “Fair rotation”, as I believe you in the radio business call it.

(I want to be fair, since 2010, when I guess computers took over all programming – those doing programming and the “Fair Rotation” for my radio ads have given me fair and excellent times and fair rotation when it comes to the one minute radio ads.)

* * * * *

This Sunday night, May 4th, 2014, two days before the Ohio May Primary, my guest in studio will be the former Congressman, the Hon. Jim Traficant, -- who was thrown in jail for absolutely nothing (see book by Michael Collins Piper,

“Target Traficant”) because he had spearheaded and engineered the passing of a bill that made the IRS go to court to seize a family home (10,500+ homes were seized by the IRS in 1997 when they didn’t have to go to court, right before this Traficant law was passed and signed by Clinton; 59 homes were seized in 1998, when the IRS had to go to court to take a family home.) And because Traficant had defeated part of our federal government and the state of Israel when he proved from US State Department documents that John Demjanjuk was NOT Ivan the Terrible, for which frame up Demjanjuk was headed for the electric chair - before Congressman Traficant intervened (Demjanjuk was in Traficant’s congressional district).

So this Sunday my supporters and I are DOUBLY offending both “political correctness” AND the Ruling Elite, both international, national and local.

Therefore, IF ANYTHING happens that messes with my Sunday night show on May 4th, 2014, or any other radio program I might be able to purchase – or with my radio ads from now to the November election, then, within a few days I will file for the license of WKRC-AM with the FCC, and follow up with a lawsuit before a jury if the FCC doesn’t immediately award me, the federal candidate persecuted, WKRC’s radio license, which is what the Reasonable Access law requires when a radio station systematically denies a federal candidate Reasonable and Fair Access to their airwaves.

This would be unfortunate from one perspective: it is probably someone ABOVE those at WKRC-AM (i.e., someone at the national level) who has been messing with my programming these last few years.

For instance, the program director for my first one hour radio show in 2012 told me that he didn’t know where the “Coast to Coast” programming was coming from, and it took him a full seven or eight minutes to figure out how to stop it, with the help of some people within Clear Channel who he called for help during those minutes.

But, as far as I’m concerned, we now are at the point of “zero tolerance”, as the trendies like to say, on WLW and WKRC messing up the ads and radio programs I pay for over these last 12 years. It is IMPOSSIBLE that Clear Channel and its two Cincinnati radio stations repeatedly have a massive “I.Q.” drop when my paid programming is on the air – but never have such similar glitches, even slightly, during the other 350 to 360 days a year when everybody else is on the air, both on-air personalities and paid ads by businesses and candidates of any kind.

Finally, this letter will be posted on my website (www.LetFreedomRing2014.com) by the time you receive this hard copy, and will be forwarded all over the internet by my supporters to concerned citizens via my email list, other email lists, Facebook, Twitter, etc. etc. etc.

P.S. I am not referring in this letter to the minor adjustments that have to be made, especially near the end of a political season, when many orders are flooding in at once with a few days to go, and times have to be adjusted by an hour or so, or maybe 2 spots are played in, say Rush Limbaugh’s slot one day, and 4 the next – instead of the 3 each day that had been ordered. That type of adjustment is understandable, and I am very reasonable to get along with as long as what is done is in the ballpark of fair. What I am referring to, which happened to me in the past (over 6 years ago), is the failure to play ads in ordered time slots for a few days, or weird “hit and miss” playing of ads to where we have to put a full time watch dog listening to our tapings -- and finding out exactly what has been done so we can try to restore some normalcy to the original order we placed.

But not voting, leaves one off the tally sheets.

Your statement brings to mind, lBJ's silent majority, yes! Silent because one did not vote and let the few that vote rule!

Q.E.D!

Sent from my Nexus 7 using Forum Runner

I would like to offer a minor correction.

Voting beyond the most basic level upon which the elected can still be held to personal account by his constitutents is a waste of time.


There may be some reach at the mayor or city council level but beyond that you are dreaming if you believe anything coming out their mouth is notjing but a lie.

[Hatha Sunahara]

I start with the assumption that anyone 'running' for office--i.e. those on the ballot, are there because they have been chosen by the people who own all the money and control the political process. It is therefore my role, if I choose to 'act it out' to validate the choice of the real rulers of the country. None of the people 'running' for office gives a tinker's damn about me or what I want, or even care if I exist. As far as I am concerned, they are all equally crooked and the only distinction among them is the degree of evil they are willing to engage in, so my validation of the choices of the real rulers boils down to the 'lesser of the evils'. Now, what kind of choice is that? It really doesn't matter who holds the elected office, they are all beholden to parties other than the voters, so the whole process is a sham--a fraud--a travesty. So, the way I see it, it is not democracy, and participating in it (by voting) is a demonstration that I have been fooled--deceived--into supporting this sham. By refusing to participate in this sham, by not voting, I am casting my vote against the whole process. I would like to see how much legitimacy the people who own all the money can claim for their selected office holders if nobody votes in any of their fraudulent elections. My goal therefore, in any election is to persuade my cohorts to exercise their right to withhold support for this fraud by not voting. Just temporarily--until the system collapses, and when it is replaced by something with more integrity, something that is honest, then voting will once again be a great thing.

Maybe those who vote should just stfu?

That's stating the obvious since by 'voting' they've sanctioned WHATEVER nonsense follows that 'election'. However some prefer to maintain their dear, cherished delusions via willful ignorance.
