Peter B Collins gives us another month.

Peter B. Collins, heard weekdays from 3 to 6pm on KGOE 1480 am in Eureka Ca. weekdays, has told us that he has secured financing to keep his show on the air at least through December 14th. He had given us a preliminary end date of November 14th but that now has been pushed back. Although his show is doing great in Eureka and we have plenty of local advertisers for it, Peter B. distributes his show to radio stations for free. He has to pay his producer, engineer and satellite time out of his own pocket. This money comes from regional or national advertiser that buy ads through him that he places on the show before we get it. Anyone that wants to help support the show can send potential advertisers or money to:

GOP Voter Suppression: More Miss than Hit

By Zachary Roth - October 30, 2008, 1:10PM
Yesterday we posted a quick round-up of the various voter-suppression schemes being pushed by Republicans in swing states around the country. And after looking at the list, one thing quickly becomes clear: most of the efforts have failed.
There's no one grand unifying theory for why that's true.

RAND Lobbies Pentagon: Start War To Save U.S. Economy

Paul Joseph Watson & Yihan DaiPrison Planet.comThursday, October 30, 2008
According to reports out of top Chinese mainstream news outlets, the RAND Corporation recently presented a shocking proposal to the Pentagon in which it lobbied for a war to be started with a major foreign power in an attempt to stimulate the American economy and prevent a recession.
A fierce debate has now ensued in China about who that foreign power may be, with China itself as well as Russia and even Japan suspected to be the targets of aggression.
The reports cite French media news sources as having uncovered the proposal, in which RAND suggested that the $700 billion dollars that has been earmarked to bailout Wall Street and failing banks instead be used to finance a new war which would in turn re-invigorate the flagging stock markets.
The RAND Corporation is a notoriously powerful NGO with deep ties to the U.S. military-industrial complex as well as interlocking connections with the Ford, Rockefeller, and Carnegie foundations.

ACLU highlights 'Constitution-Free Zone' 100 miles from border

WASHINGTON – The extraordinary powers of customs and border agents to invade the privacy of individuals at the U.S. border are spreading inland and creating what amounts to a “Constitution-free Zone” that covers fully two-thirds of the American population, the American Civil Liberties Union said today in a press conference at the National Press Club in Washington, DC.
“The authorities can do things at the border that they could never do to citizens and residents inside our country under the Constitution,” said Caroline Fredrickson, director of the ACLU Washington Legislative Office. “Yet the government is asserting that some of these powers extend as far as 100 miles inside the actual border. It is a classic example of law enforcement powers expanding far beyond their proper boundaries – in this case, literally.”

Votes Reportedly Flipping from Repub to Dem in TN!

Blogged by Brad Friedman on 10/22/2008 1:49PM

So NOW Can We Impound These Machines, Take Them Out of Service and Give Every Voter a PAPER BALLOT, Please?!

Several Decatur County voters are concerned about problems with the voting machines at the Election Commission Office. Voters claim they tried to vote for McCain for President but the machine checked Obama instead.
At least three voters encountered the problem when casting their early ballot on Saturday morning. Franklin Boroughs says he intended to vote for Republican but rather the computer had checked the Democratic candidate instead.

McCain Campaign Paid Republican Operative Accused of Voter Fraud

Published on Wednesday, October 22, 2008 by Times Online/UK

by Hannah Strange
John McCain paid $175,000 of campaign money to a Republican operative accused of massive voter registration fraud in several states, it has emerged.
As the McCain camp attempts to tie Barack Obama to claims of registration irregularities by the activist group ACORN, campaign finance records detailing the payment to the firm of Nathan Sproul, investigated several times for fraud, threatens to derail that argument.
The documents show that a joint committee of the McCain-Palin campaign, the Republican National Committee and the California Republican Party, made the payment to Lincoln Strategy, of which Mr Sproul is the managing partner, for the purposes of "voter registration".
Mr Sproul has been investigated on numerous occasions for preventing Democrats from voting, destroying registration forms and leading efforts to get Ralph Nader on ballots to leach the Democratic vote.

Election Integrity Filmmaker Sees Own Vote Flipped on ESS Touch-Screens in TN

Guest Blog from Brad Freidman at the Brad Blog:
David and Patricia Earnhardt Report Their Problems During Early Voting in Nashville
Obama Vote Won't Register, Then Flips to Other Candidate, as Similarly Reported Recently in WV...
Now comes the vote-flipping on touch-screen machines in Davidson County (Nashville), TN where early voting has also begun. This time, the problems occurred for David and Patricia Earnhardt, the director and executive producer of the award-winning election integrity documentary, Uncounted: The New Math of American Elections which details the history of problems with electronic voting across the nation and some of the whistleblowers and EI advocates who've helped to bring the matter to light. [Disclosure: The BRAD BLOG is prominently featured in the film.]
The Earnhardts' story of what happened to them last Friday when, among other things, Patricia's attempt to vote for Obama on the ES&S touch-screen wouldn't register at all, and at one point, with a poll-worker trying to help, had actually registered a vote for Green Party candidate Cynthia McKinney --- five rows away from Obama on the screen --- follows below.

Build Your Own Green House

I decided that for a summer project, I would build a green house. I am not proficient in building skills so I bought a kit that came in a box. I hate puzzles but that is what this was. A large Chinese puzzle in a box. The directions were vague to say the least. Maybe something was lost in translation. The kit is for a 10'x12' greenhouse. It was suggested that I build a base to set the frame on. I chose pressure treated 4''x4'' posts and used 18'' re bar to stake it down. For a floor I used 12'' concrete pavers. The kit I bought was from Harbor Freight in Arcata. It was on sale for about 600-dollars. I couldn't build one this size for that price on my own so I feel I got a pretty good deal. I am pretty happy with the final results. Now I just have to figure out what will grow the best with the least amount of light or heat. Living near Trinidad we have a lot of trees on our property and the greenhouse doesn't get as much sun as I would like. I am looking to grow food not medicine so any suggestions should be along those lines. Any suggestions would be helpful.

Peter B. Collins Ponders Moving On

Peter B. Collins heard weekdays on KGOE 1480 am here in Eureka and on other stations around the west is considering calling it quits. He is seeking help to keep the show on the air. Peter B. provides the show to radio stations for free. Peter B. gets paid by the ads that come within his show. Although we at kgoe have done well in selling ads for our part of the show here in Humboldt Co., Peter B. has had a harder time getting regional advertisers to insert into his show before it comes down the satellite. Peter B. pays for his own satellite time, producer and equipment.

If things don't change, his last show will be November 14th.

Did you serve in the military; are you a Surviving Spouse of a Veteran?

What is “Presumptive” Service Connection?
The Department of Veterans Affairs presumes that specific disabilities diagnosed in certain veterans were caused by their military service. The VA does this because of the unique circumstances of their military service. If one of these conditions is diagnosed in a veteran in one of these groups, VA presumes that the circumstances of his/her service caused the condition, and disability compensation can be awarded. DIC education and CHAMPVA for spouses of veterans rated 100% or surviving souses late-veterans that died from discussed medical problems

What Conditions are “Presumed” to be caused by their Military Service?
Veterans in the groups identified below: Entitlement to disability compensation may be presumed under the circumstances described and for the conditions listed.
Veterans within one year of release from active duty: Individuals diagnosed with chronic diseases (such as arthritis, diabetes, or hypertension) are encouraged to apply for disability compensation.

My Views on Abortion and the Election

I sent this as a reply to a group that mass e-mailed me about Obama and abortion. Abortion is their sole reason for not supporting Obama for President.


I am a liberal considering running for office on a one issue platform. Abortion. I will run as pro-life and answer no other questions. I will pander to the Christian right for their votes and then do what George Bush did and ignore those dumb people that think that war, torture, financial collapse, education, healthcare and big government are of no concern. Just abortion. A one issue platform. I will probably win.
Tom Sebourn
Now I ask my blog readers...
What should I run for?

New Poll Shows Prop. 8 Winning

People that want to take rights away from Californian's have spent over 20 million dollars on T.V. and Radio ads. Proposition 8 will ammend the California constitution to remove rights granted to Californians. A new poll shows that the campaign is winning the hearts of homophobes all over California. KPIX, San Francisco's CBS television affiliate says their new poll shows prop. 8 winning by 47% to 43%.

KGOE is even running "Yes on Prop. 8" ads. We run all political ads weather we agree with the position or not.

In opposition to the proposition is a U-Tube video called Gender Auditors is available at:http://www.couragecampaign.org/NoOnProp8

If the No on Prop.8 people want to make a buy on KGOE, we will gladly take their money.

I am against this proposition on the grounds that the constitution is designed to spell out what powers are granted to the state, leaving all other rights and powers to the people. Amending the constitution to take away rights from people is the wrong thing to do.

The big lie is that churches are at risk of loosing their tax exempt status. They violate their tax exempt status if they fund political campaigns or tell people how to vote from the pulpit.

Do we want the Muslims, Catholics, Mormons, Baptists, Satanists or Jews funding political campaigns and telling their followers how to vote? I pray not!

Martial Law Declared In US Congress

Nancy Pelosi declared Martial Law in the U.S. Congress.

Michael Burgess blames the Democrats for the problem.

Here are two U-Tube video links. One from a Republican and one from a Democrat about the banks taking authority over the U.S. Congress.

Representative Michael Burgess, Republican from Texas 26th district.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vIhHWXek574

That's a u-tube video from C-Span.

Here's another one from Representative Brad Sherman, Democrat from California, 27th district.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HaG9d_4zij8

It would seem that the banks have pulled a coup on Congress.
