The CPB supplies a small part of Pacifica's budget, conditional on its not only achieving "minority" representation, but also on REACHING an audience. WBAI has done very poorly on this, reaching a tiny fraction of a potentially HUGE audience, and has lost part of its CPB funding because of that shameful failure. I don't think the CPB is the source of Pacifica's license to broadcast, however. --Frank LeFever ====================================================== --- In NewPacifica@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, Emmett Abati Doe <abatidoe2@...> wrote: > > Emmett Abati Doe wrote: "...FLASH: Pacifica's Broadcaster License was issued for and to serve as a microphone for 'Minority' issues and voices with specific > thresholds.." > --Frank LeFever wrote: Nonsense! > > > Check the Application, Terms and Conditions of the CPB Money. > > I based what I wrote on the Financial Report and Statements made during the Slide Presentation of Lonnie Hicks at the PNB Meeting. > > If my notes are wrong and or miss interpreted, please advise. > > I know what I heard and what was on the screen. > > Where were you? > > ...made in america > > > Frank LeFever <fflefever@...> wrote: --- In NewPacifica@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, Emmett Abati Doe <abatidoe2@> > wrote: > "...FLASH: Pacifica's Broadcaster License was issued for and to serve > as a microphone for 'Minority' issues and voices with specific > thresholds..." > > Nonsense! > > --Frank LeFever > > ====================================================== > --- In NewPacifica@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, Emmett Abati Doe <abatidoe2@> > > > > MaryAnn Wrote: > > I think he means like "born (conceived) in the USA". > > > > What I mean MaryAnn is: > > I like La Raza (The Race) advocate for My People, the people made in > america" those descendant's (Spoils of War) of those prisoner's of > Wars enslaved in the belly of the beast of North america! > > > > also, I did not know that Muslims were involved in slave trade? > interesting. > > > > And, so did some Jews traffic in Europeans selling them to Muslims. > > > > ...made in america > > > > > > xtx1000@ wrote: hi Kevin, > > > > I think he means like "born (conceived) in the USA". > > > > also, I did not know that Muslims were involved in slave trade? > interesting. > > > > MaryAnn...(of hispanic heritage but born in the USA like Abati) > > > > > > > > ----- Original Message ----- > > From: Kevin White > > To: NewPacifica@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx ; xtx1000@ ; Perrine Kelly ; > fulcrumsofchange@ > > Cc: newpacifica@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx ; friends_of_kpft@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > ; realpacifica@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > > Sent: Friday, February 08, 2008 11:19 AM > > Subject: Re: [NewPacifica] Re: [Fulcrumsofchange] The KPFT Folio's > Third Edition? > > > > > > Hi Abati, > > > > My Irish ancestors were the N word of Europe long before the > Muslims started the African slave trade. > > > > Can I be included as well? > > > > Kevin "Never a Made Man in Europe or America" White > > > > > > ----- Original Message ---- > > From: Emmett Abati Doe > > > To: xtx1000@; Perrine Kelly > > >; fulcrumsofchange@ > > Cc: newpacifica@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx; friends_of_kpft@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx; > realpacifica@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > > Sent: Friday, February 8, 2008 11:01:57 AM > > Subject: [NewPacifica] Re: [Fulcrumsofchange] The KPFT Folio's > Third Edition? > > > > Hi MaryAnn, > > > > Pacifica has become a free-for-all, that any would be power block > has/could/can take over. > > > > Consider WPFW in the control of Caribbeans solely disinterested in > the Survival/ Welfare Reality Issues of "the people made in america", > who management and staff pretend not only to be, but to represent. > > > > FLASH: Pacifica's Broadcaster License was issued for and to serve > as a microphone for "Minority" issues and voices with specific > thresholds.
