Is there a problem with IBC3. The repeats were on and I was listening. Suddenly they went dead. When I went to IBC they no longer had listed IBC3. Cnanot pick up through White Rose sight either.
I tried all of the links for airtime and the only link that was live was RadioPower.org. That is running the Mike Malloy Reruns from Air America.
It’s not 12 yet in Crawford. Probably just setting up
I get nothing from any of the streams..
did they forget to plug in the laptop?
Where the hell is the show?
I can’t get them either. Must be tech problems. 🙁
Please try to be patient, friends… They are having a lot of trouble broadcasting from Texas… I am not provy to all the details but I do get a breathless report once in a while… and I can tell you they will be with us as soon as they can…
Well until Brad Comes on I will have to listen to Radio Power. It is what I have to settle for I guess. Please let me know if he gets on Line. I think the problem is with IBC this is the first time in several days that it does not list IBC3 with Brad Photo on line.
I heard they moved their set up to Camp Casey earlier today and have a new computer. Apparently it’s taking a little longer than anticipated. Hang in there!
That makes sense. It will be worth the wait. Thanks Kira!
patience and persistance……this is a new experience for me so I must take advice from all of you and hopefully get to listen soon
Latest word:
Camp Casey II is having problems with their internet connection. They are rebooting everything. Desi wanted to pass that along to everyone.
Hang on!
Meanwhile, did y’all see this on Michael Moore’s web site, aka "Cindy’s blog". You probably did, as you don’t miss a thing!:

hey all. The Bradshow is now a daily fix for me. help
I had not posted on a blog before yesterday. I have tried but have gotten the message "you do not have permission to access this site". I did not know what I had done wrong. I was so pleased when my posting showed up here. I am happy I learned how to ‘refresh’ the site. I know, I know, yes I am George’s age, so you must forgive my ineptitude. Yesterday was a learning experience, now if I can just remember how I did it all!!
Merifour – Welcome! Just ask on the blog and someone will try to give assistance! So glad you’re with us.
Welcome MeriFour and glad you could join us 🙂
post away friend 🙂 Join the 6 or 7 of us 🙂
Again, Welcome

… or 8. 🙂
*waves to all the nice people*
Thanks for the heads up. I was wondering what happened. It will be great to hear what is going on from Camp Casey where the events are actually going on. Hopefully they will be up and running soon.
Thank you for welcoming me and making this so easy….I love it.
Hi, all!
Sat bradcast was the most compelling radio I have ever heard. I never listen to the radio for that long. none of us do i’m sure. Just amazing. I can’t wait for today.
Merifour #20 –
We’re the same age! Pleased to make your acquaintance! The more the merrier, or merifourier, or something…
hiya peg c
well at least we have radio power
actuallly mike malloy (best of) is rather subdued today. 🙂
:waves: to all you wonderful folks. This show has been like a 3-course meal to a starving person. I love it.
I’ve got errands to run, so won’t be posting for awhile. I’ll try to check in later, tho. You guys are my lifeline!
Look for David E. to provide the next update on what’s happening down on the farm. Hope they get it up & running smoothly soon!

The message from an Indian Elder….reminds me of Cindy and Folks…………I sent to Randi Rhodes too!
I am an oldy too!..YaYa (Greek for Grandma!)
4 sons…5 grandsons!
THE INVITATION
It doesn’t interest me what you do for a living
I want to know what you ache for and if you dare to dream of meeting your heart’s longing.
It doesn’t interest me how old you are
I want to know if you will risk looking like a fool for love, for your dream, for the adventure of being alive.
It doesn’t interest me what planets are squaring your moon
I want to know if you have touched the center of your being, or have become shriveled and closed from fear of further pain.
I want to know if you can sit with pain Mine or your own Without moving to hide it Or fade it Or fix it.
I want to know if you can be with joy Mine or your own If you can dance with wildness and the ecstasy fill you to the tips of your fingers and toes without cautioning us To be careful To be realistic To remember the limitations of being human.
It doesn’t interest me if the story you are telling me is true
I want to know if you can disappoint another to be true to yourself. If you can bear the accusation of betrayal and not betray your own soul. If you can be faithless and therefore trustworthy.
I want to know if you can see Beauty even when it is not pretty every day. And if you can source your own life from its presence.
I want to know if you can live with failure, yours and mine, and still stand on the edge of the lake and shout to the silver of the full moon. “Yes”
It doesn’t interest me to know where you live or how much money you have
I want to know if you can get up after a night of grief and despair weary and bruised to the bone to do what needs to be done to feed the children.
It doesn’t interest me who you know or how you came to be here
I want to know if you will stand in the center of the fire with me and not shrink back.
It doesn’t interest me where or what or with whom you have studied
I want to know what sustains you from the inside when all else falls away.
I want to know if you can be alone with yourself and if you truly like the company you keep in the empty moments.
Oriah Mountain Dreamer,
Indian Elder
oops, malloy
Hello! I’m new too… since yesterday. I spent all day yesterday thinking & rethinking things. I even remember how I got here exactly!!! but it just means that the word is geting out! I’m glad there are plans to keep the talks going (for cindy going to Washington).
Great broadcast yesterday… looking for the same today. Very inspirational…… I feel like going on tour with & spreading my music now for September.
Welcome and Hi to all.
I’m sure Brad is being hit with everything they’ve got. If he gets back on it will be a miracle, and miracles do happen. Can’t someone provide him with a new hamster? Ha! I read last night that some pro-Bushites mistakenly thought some people were anti-war, cursed them, tried to take their signs away and were otherwise very naughty. The police had to escort the group through the wild crazies. Did anyone get arrested?
Greetings, Jpentz. Yesterday’s Bradcast was so hot I couldn’t tear myself away for more than a few minutes. And you’re right, Unkleduke; I NEVER listen to radio. Today should be really good too.
Has everyone heard that George Galloway is going to be touring the US with Jane Fonda, anti-war? I hope it’s in time, especially considereing the dire saber-rattling vis-a-vis Iran. Here’s a comprehensive analysis of that looming threat.
Guess the string between the papercups finally broke! I’m sure they’ll get another soon and all will be well!
Thank you, YaYa — that’s one of the most beautiful things I’ve ever read. Made me cry…
Hope we hear Randi a little today…;)

BRAD SHOW’s Crawford engineer, Otie, is working with the network folks at Camp Casey II to solve a technical "mystery" before the broadcast can begin.
He currently expects the BRAD SHOW to begin broadcasting between 1:30 and 2:00 pm (CT).
As always, we appreciate your patience as we struggle through this latest challenge! It is truly "RAW RADIO".
Thank you for hanging with us!!
This Sucks! I want my Brad Show! WAAAAAAAAAAAA
Peg C, thank you, I am so glad I am not the only one here that remembers the 60’s (grin), which I feared I was. I so totally respect everyone that knows how to navigate in the computer world, I just wish I knew more and am doing my best. I don’t want to lean on you guys because of the serious business at hand, but may ask for advice now and then. I will now read for further instructions on how to hear the show! P.S., I may not be computer friendly but have been doing my homework on the Federal Govt. for 30 years. 🙁
Thanks David for the update! Maybe the "headline" for this thread could be updated so we won’t lose as many as we might today.
Keep on…keepin on…it seems Brad and Otie keep having to "live" my radio nightmare dreams! Sorry guys…
Thanks so much for keepin on keepin on…!
2pm eastern time, all the listen links shown on the show web site either don’t work at all (like kpftx) or bring in other audio. What’s up?!?
Thanks for the update, David. Those poor, dear people! How hot is it there today?
Hi All!
This a beautful happening. We the people are showing what true brothers and sisters can do
to unit a great nation which that most are peace loving and spiritually diverse.
We need to keep this going. You all in Crawford
I am jealous that I can’t be there.
Love you all
Thanks T.Liberty ! Listenin to Laura & Brad while I wait for today’s show…
Brad should put his shows on the podcast network. That is how I am able to listen to morning sedition, randi, majority report, maddow and malloy
I caught the feeling back in early spring that the tide was turning. Intuition or ESP? I spent the late sixties, early seventies in Southern Cal — ripe with Flower Children back then. Cruisin’ Sunset Strip was an experience, what with the micro minis and beads and the handmade tire track sandals. Anybody remember all that?
I’m moving back, northern Cal this time, in late November, and I can’t wait! I’m positively salivating to spend the new revolution — complete with a full-blown anti-war movement — back in California. As Howard Dean would say, "Yaaaaagh!"
So, folks, there’s more than one old burn-out posting on this blog. Ha! And LMSAO!
And I can’t wait for Brad’s show to begin today. I’m been glued to my headphones all week. Awesome! He’s putting the pros to shame this week. Maybe one of the radio networks will offer him a contract — yes? does he deserve it? yes!!!! — after all his hard work.
I really love the long interviews. Sure beats those five-minute quickies we hear on the other shows. He asks such insightful questions. Brilliant!
I just had to say THANK YOU for posting that beautiful message from Oriah Mountain Dreamer, Indian Elder. I will print that out and keep it. Love & Light to you!
Just a quickie before I head out (just seems appropriate right now!)
Sounds Of Silence
Simon & Garfunkel
Hello darkness, my old friend
I’ve come to talk with you again
Because a vision softly creeping
Left its seeds while I was sleeping
And the vision that was planted in my brain
Still remains
Within the sound of silence
In restless dreams I walked alone
Narrow streets of cobblestone
‘Neath the halo of a street lamp
I turned my collar to the cold and damp
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light
That split the night
And touched the sound of silence
Woops! The rest of the lyrics:
And in the naked light I saw
Ten thousand people, maybe more
People talking without speaking
People hearing without listening
People writing songs that voices never share
And no one dared
Disturb the sound of silence
"Fools", said I, "You do not know
Silence like a cancer grows
Hear my words that I might teach you
Take my arms that I might reach you"
But my words, like silent raindrops fell
And echoed
In the wells of silence
And the people bowed and prayed
To the neon god they made
And the sign flashed out its warning
In the words that it was forming
And the sign said, "The words of the prophets are written on the subway walls
And tenement halls"
And whispered in the sounds of silence
We shall overcome. We shall no longer be SILENCED! Thank you Brad et al for kicking down the wall!
Hi All! I’m gonna call it quits here in Prague and listen to it all tqomorrow (hopefully Ben Burch will still be doing his thing). In the mean time and in the words of Tiny Tim, … bless us every one…
Until such time, love and peace
no updates yet?
Kira…Kate….
Love and Light to you…
Thanks for the words to this song…wonderful reminders to help light the spark to a nation that slumbers….NO MORE!
Thanks to Brad too!
Let this be the beginning….
Like the Peace Song…
Let there be Peace on Earth and let it began with me….
It’s great to find common ground…
It is a blessing to be able to talk with and listen to
like mindedness….
…and Yes!….Bless us everyone!
Y’ia sou, Yaya! Ti kanis? 😀
Sorry I missed you, Prague!
I’m really looking forward to hearing interviews with the president…. (OK, he plays one on TV hehehe), Al Sharpton, and Jesse J.
Sure hope the connection gets connected!
#37
Merifour,
Well, I sure as hell remember the 60’s! And I’m also a novice on the computer (as my children are fond of reminding me) so you’re definitely not alone on that score either.
I was without power for a few days down here in Florida due to the hurricane..no computer, no phone, no nuthin’ except candles, wind, rain, alot of beer & my kids, who fortunately are quite amusing. Well ok, the beer helped.
Missed you guys!
We are just waiting on the stream to be switched over from the re-play of yesterday’s show to the live stream of The BRAD SHOW from Camp Casey II.
It should be just a few minutes… (We hope!)
it looks like they’re trying to broadcast, and now we’ve got sound on Option 1
oooooohh yeeeeeah!
Hi, Joan! Glad you’re back!

Well, here we go…it’s on for 2pm.
Yes, we’re listening and you’re there!!!
Thanks!
Yi-haaaaa! You’re coming through man!
you are on!!
The LIVE stream from Camp Casey II is up now. You may need to reconnect to one of these:

OR

BRAD’S ON!!!
Seriously this Brad guy needs a contract..
So refreshing to hear a rational voice.
Joan, thank you, I am not alone, I am not alone! I do use the computer for ‘research’ … my mantra–the ‘back arrow’ is my friend. But communicating on a blog is so much different than a chat room. When I got my computer in ’95 I found a friendly little chat room and learned to navigate it, but so much has changed since then…..occasionally I have tried to get to some serious rooms but all I seem to find is a bunch of kids? talking trash. I am so glad I found this "blog". I have been following Cindy since she went to Crawford. Indeed she is the spark that was needed to start the fire. God Bless Cindy.
Yaye!!
Yes,we are a go.Thanks brad and all those little hamsters!
Yea James Hill We love you!
Yea James Hill We love you!
Thank you David!
YaYa, Ime etsi ketsi….. ^_^
Looks so strange in english letters…. ~~chortle~~
Thanks so much for your piece from the Elder. I’ve seen it before, but have it saved now. What a beautiful world if we could all live from that place!
Evharisto parapoli!
Yasou!

YAAAYY!!
Buffering badly, but Wow!…being with Camp Casey, if only over the radio, is so heartening! The spirit revives.
re #63: Brad doesn’t have a contract, and that’s the main reason why his voice sounds so rational. He doesn’t have to kowtow to any sponsors, and nobody sets his agenda. But that means he relies on our support.
How can you help?
You can make a donation via Credit Card or PayPal…
… or you can make a donation via Snail Mail…
… and if you can’t do either of these things, then maybe you might want to do some shopping at The BRAD STORE.
Greatest american hero song! :hehe:
at dailykos: Obama and Hagel detained at seperate locations in Russia. hmmmmmm
Hurray for Maine democrats!!!
Congrats on getting through the latest round of moves and technical challenges! Keep up the great work.
In breaks or after the show, check out the Online Think Tank for Election Reform here.
Guests on Sunday include election investigator/journalist Lynn Landes, programmer Jeremiah Akin who investigated the Sequoia voting machines, and other key activists who’ve done (and described) what others can do. (E.g., what/how to observe at a count or recount).
How appropriate that today is the day celebrating the anniversary of Martin Luther King’s "I have a dream" speech. So many parallels..
http://www.americanrhetoric.com...haveadream.htm
Thanks for bringing Camp Casey into our homes!
Peace.
Just a thought I chuckled at the other day on Air
America….
While we are all asking why and gathering in this
great "awakening" cause….
Don’t "they" keep sounding more and more like
Bagdad Bob?"….
We are around the corner….Yes!
And they can hear us now…Yes!
Jesus the live music sux so far.
#81 BP
I almost agreed on the music thing except for the Holly Near song "I Ain’t Afraid.."
I Ain’t of afraid !
…I ain’t afraid of anything except glitches that is… I didn’t type that did I?
don’t mean to be so blunt… haha I know its all for a good cause. hopefully some really good talant will eventually show up for these days ahead!! I did like when they cut to the Dylan tune "The Times, They are a changin" —-
I wonder if they will allow a stage in Washington? This way bands can prepare beforehand. I would be interested.
Ok to all those folks who keep pounding away on "He already met with her!" Just came across this story from the other day. Boy, that liberal media is sure right on top of things, eh?
"The president finished his speech and made his way out of the Idaho Center, shaking hands and autographing a few ticket stubs along the way.
Meanwhile, in a room just outside the main hall, a smaller audience waited for a more personal meeting with President George W. Bush. They share a special bond, these "Gold Star families." All have lost a loved one in Iraq or Afghanistan. Each family was given a number and when it was called, was led into a smaller room comfortably furnished with a leather sofa and chairs and flowers.
Marian Rowe of Gooding is a member of one of those families. She became a Gold Star mom a year ago when her son, Marine Capt. Alan Rowe, was killed when an improvised explosive device detonated in Iraq’s Al Anbar Province. Rowe, one of nine Idaho Marines and soldiers who have lost their lives in Iraq, was 35 years old and left behind a wife, Dawn, and two small children, Blake, now 6, and Caitlin, 4. They were there to meet the president, too.
[b]It was the second time Dawn Rowe and her children had met the commander and chief. They first met him last December when he visited the Marine base at Twentynine Palms near her home in Yucca Valley, Calif.
"I went over and gave him a hug," Dawn said. "He remembered meeting the kids."
Dawn said she, too, liked what the president had to say Wednesday.
"We owe it to them to see this through," she said.[/b]
Kinda blows THAT argument out of the water, eh? Bush’ll only meet with those who agree with him? [b]HORSESHIT[/b]!
See the link at top for the source, sorry.
Le Tigre and some other acts will be in Washington on the 24th. I agree these singer-songwriter guys are a way to literal in their songs. But, again, I’m not there so…..
Questions :
When are we, the public going to demand why politicians supporting Bush’s war sending their sons and daughters? One in particular, Gov Milt Romney, of Massachuesetts? Just give the public a reason…his sons range from 23 -35 years.
Second : Those of you supporting the troops, are you aware that they STILL DO NOT HAVE ADEQUATELY ARMOURED VEHICLES? Why aren’t you demanding Bush give the troops safe transportation into enemy terriotory?
Per Joe Galloway, military analyst for Knight Ridder newspaper 08/10/05.
IT has occurred to me, that the followers might need my question asked a little clearer.
Instead of bashing each other during your "rally"
Ask your leader (s) why the troops still after 27 months have only lightly armoured pick ups for protection from enemy bombs. This from a fallen soldier’s letter to his mother.
Also, those of you supporting the war…have you been to a VA hospital to comfort the young man who has lost both legs and his manhood? Or the young girl with no arms, tell her she is still pretty without being able to use make up or even dress herself?
Bush supporters spend some time with our wounded and see if your opinion stays the same.
Surely you can find an hour in your busy lives.

Merifour- there are a lot of folks who frequent Brad Blog who well remember the ’60s and ’70s. Not a coincidence, I’m sure, as that was a time of activism and political awareness. Even though Brad is still a young’un, we’ve accepted him into the fold ;-).
BTW, yesterday was the first time I’ve had trouble posting comments, and I’ve been around since Nov 2004. They’ve gotta get a back-up hamster or two down there!
Nice to see all the newcomers, yourself and others, joining in the comments.
Just sent $$$ … retired military (27 years) … I have a personal stake in this. Keep up the good work Brad! And America stands in solidarity with Cindy!The toughest thing I ever did in the military was notify the next-of-kin. You have no credible voice in protest unless you’ve served or suffered. I witnessed the deaths of hundreds while I escaped 9/11. To have their deaths mocked for political gain in an illegal war is the ultimate, impeachable offense.
Just heard you speaking with the young Iraqi vet. He’s so darling! That conversation sent chills down my spine!
Love you, and thanks for your time. There are no words that can thank the vets for their ruined lives!
We must resume the mode of Peace!
Bush won’t meet with Cindy — That’s just fine — Because the whole of AMERICA is meeting with Cindy — a meeting of the minds — a meeting in Crawford — a meeting on the internet — a meeting throughout the country — a meeting that is going to remove Bush from his vacation — ooops — the people’s White House!!
Was the Shrub invited to the wedding that going to happen?
WTC Survivor: thanks very much for your contribution!
#77 PegC — I assume you’re talking about Tom Andrews, former Rep, and I concur completely!! I was soooo affected by what he said. Which, when you think about it, is really said. The notion that the DEMs have to reclaim their base and speak loudly, clearly and constantly should be common sense. sigh….
Brad.. if you see this….. thanks so much for that interview! I’m one of those poor folk who have been left in the dust with the Dems "running to the center"… We are the traditional base, but we no longer count for s……. The Get Out The Vote move last year was all out, and got the max number of voters out. At this point, it’s either begin NOW to reclaim the traditional base, or give up and run to the center.
So, what is it Dems….. ? Wanna decide that we poor folk are still worth your attention???
d in d
The Democratic Party is not the Democratic Leadership Council or the so-called Democratic senators and representatives.
The Democratic Party is the people of the party. If you are not satisfied with your so-called leaders, the power is in your hands to make the changes. Ignore the gas-bags, who are busy lining their pockets and running the party and country into the ground.
As Brad says, if you are dissatisfied with the media, BE THE MEDIA.
If you are dissatisfied with the Democratic leadership, BE THE DEMOCRACTIC LEADERSHIP. Start in your town, find new people, change the party name. Do whatever is necessary to change the situation to reflect what YOU WANT for your country and your lives.
😛 Man they should have a ‘gay’ wedding right after this one. -BP
"#96" (merifour responding like everyone else using comment # LOL) I feel so welcome here and feel so blessed to have found this site. Miracles happen just like at Camp Casey. I was so excited when Mr. Mattlage offered up an acre for Cindy. I thought why is no one offering her some property?.. everytime I went to her site, then along comes Fred. To #97, I agree with you. My husband lost a brother in Viet Nam. He would fight anyone that said that war was wrong (I did not know him then). I don’t know exactly when he came to realize his brother died in vain, a year or two perhaps. His brother left a wife and 3 little boys. My husband’s Mother never got over the loss and only a few years before she died did she acknowledge her son died for a lie. I do not know the pain of a loss of a child, sibling or parent from a war, but I see the scars of losing a loved one from a contrived war and how it affects the family.
#103…… since you didn’t specify, was that directed to me?
d in d
I’m sorry, I just tuned in, but, why the hell am I listening to a wedding? What the hell kind of protest is this becoming? Where the hell is the focus on the reason why Cindy is there? Am I missing something here? I thought that Camp Casey was about demanding an answer about the "noble cause" for our invasion into Iraq!!! This type of stuff just feeds into the right wing media BS
#97 WTC Survivor
Thanks for your sobering reminder about events.
I hope you’ll stick around BB. Apart from the Bushco. lies used to link 9-11 and the invasion of Iraq, there is also the matter of "supporting the troops". I make a big distinction between supporting the troops and supporting a dreadful war.
I’ve said this before in various ways in various posts, so I’ll keep it brief here– Bushco. is not supporting our troops- they don’t have the body armor, safe vehicles, etc. that they need on the ground, and they don’t have the support they need and deserve once they come home- medical benefits, counseling etc. etc.
Brad has interviewed a lot of vets during his time in Crawford, and also previously on the weekly Brad Show. Their stories make me weep.
Paul Rieckhoff of Optruth.org Operation Truth was one of Brad’s Brad Show guests back in July 2005.
Also, thanks for the contribution. Every time that I’ve made a $$ contribution (via PayPal) I’ve gotten a personal email from Brad in return. Given the challenges he and crew face getting the show up from Crawford, this might not happen right away. But, trust me, he would if he could!
VG
#105 merifour thanks so much for sharing those experiences. As one who has lost a child (not in a war, but a loss is a loss), I can assure you that the emotional upheaval is tremendous, and, no, it never goes away.
I can very much understand how people would retreat into denial in order to survive something of that magnitude. Just like Cindy, I don’t bear them any ill will (as long as they respect me in kind.) But, I really do believe that truth will out, and eventually the time comes to recognize the obvious…… the loss was for no good purpose. It’s a terrible realization.
Those of us who went through the Vietnam era, protesting and working for peace, as dumbfounded to find ourselves, once again, facing the same shit.
"When will they ever learn……."
d in d
I guess Bob, as Cindy said "this is the beginning of the peace movement". Camp Casey is a beginning, not just an end. So I suppose it is all in how you look at it. A celebration that life should go on, a beginning in peace and a union which may continue the cycle of life. It is a celebration of unity and hope.
Just my two copper.

Great! Pictures thank you so much!

#113 Peggy, thanks for answering my question.
I have NO interest in turning this blog into an argument. This is a celebration of peace.
However, I can’t let someone blatantly make assumptions about me without even knowing me, and start issuing orders. And, yes, that’s how your "cheerleading" comes across.
You don’t know me at all…… even my name. Yet, you assume I’ve done NOTHING, and order me to find some magical way of taking over the direction of the party, or a new party. People do what they can do, and disparaging all their efforts does NOTHING to strenghten the peace effort, or anything else.
Yanno, one of these days, it would really be nice for there to be a reaching out in understanding, empathy, and acknowledgement. That is what is appealing to me about Camp Casey. It isn’t one exhortation after another –it’s a mass recognition of each other, what they are dealing with, and acceptance of what they can and cannot do.
As I said, I have NO interest in pursuing an argument. You can choose to hear what I’m saying or not. I will remind you there are thousands and thousands of people who gave up on the party because of the type of neglect I spoke of. You can blame them all, or look at what has changed in terms of reaching out to poor folk since the death of RFK, and the end of the Johnson era.
Peace out.

How many UN sanctions has Israel ignored?

Whoooopeeee! I’m not much of a celebrity follower, but…. I’m so glad Martin Sheen is there, and will probably speak with Brad….
Cheers!

Hi, d in d – No offense whatsoever intended — I have not assumed anything whatsoever about you — and I also am not hear to argue — just promoting my own thoughts about what needs, in general, to be done — peace!
Give up on Bonesman Kerry. I have.
Been thinking If we air striked Saddam and watched him for 6 months before we went to war with them ,, they they know every move Saddam made ,and if there were WMDS ,they would of got them right away ,,,,,,so that tells me there was lies all the way around
Century for War 2000 also stated that they had bad equipment from the cold war ,,and that means
They signed papers saying it was Okay to go in war with equipment that was no good old and that put our soldiers into arms way to begin with ,,,,,,,,
SO that is basically murder and war crime in itself
Keep up the good work Brad you ROCK
as far as the music ,,some of the wait time music is pretty bad ,,puts me to sleep ,,, I dont want to go to sleep yet ,,,,,,,,keep rockin with good music ,,OK
This is one catchy tune! Thanks Frank Meyer!
Put your faith in people, not politicians. Just like in Viet Nam, ending the war will be forced by the people, not the politicians. The democrats are gunshy. Get out of Iraq now. We don’t own it.
Peace and Victory for us all.
Hi, d in d again — I just re-read your #102, and in fact, fully agree with what you say — furthermore, my post at #103 is in agreement with you that the Democratic leadership has let the people down — I really have no idea what you are upset about!?!
Anyone know if Frank Meyer has a
web site ??
Thank you
I think this is the aforementioned frank meyer:

Brad, you’ve done a yeoman’s job in Crawford! Absolutely awesome interviews. Qw nwws ro pluf you into some major radio!!!!! You need your talents beyond the blogosphere.
Please work on financing a trip to cover the ANSWER rally in D.C. September 24-26th?????? Did I hear a "yes"?
Hello to all the newcomers, and some old familiars.
Since Kira is on a trip (vacation I hope!) and isn’t around to keep things in order 😉 or explain things about CA, I’ll put on the Kira hat, and encourage everyone to make clickable links for URLs. This will help you avoid "messing up the thread" tsk tsk !!! 😉 if you post one of those impossibly long http addresses. (Not that anyone has, so far today). But, I know it’s not nice to be on the receiving end of a tsk tsk ;-), and I finally swallowed my pride and learned.
Here’s my help:

Brad-
Thanks for doing what you do – it’s helped a lot of people who want to be in Crawford to be there in some way.
And thanks for having Rev. Ed Bacon from All-Saints in Pasadena on – he’s a great guy!
I think you said you are based in L.A.? You are more than welcome to come to a meeting of Interfaith Communities United for Justice and Peace – Ed is a valuble part of this group of clergy and laypeople who believe that religious communities should not be blessing war and violence.

re: the Dem issue (Kerry especially) I suggest you check out this older thread.
The "interesting" saga begins at Comment #5. You will have to pick through the comments, but I trust you will be interested, and find it affirming, and also perhaps amusing in a kinda dark way.

hi Kira, you missed a wedding!
Brad is terrific!
But please put prayers in for New Orleans (or whatever it is you do)
All anyone has to do to see that the "official" 9/11 story is a steaming pile of horse dump is to watch the video footage of the "collapses" of the Twin Towers and WTC # 7 and it is clear that they were controlled demolitions. You can easily see the explosions, also the "squibs" of dust jetting out of windows near the blasts, and watch as each building comes down in nine seconds, the rate an object falls through air unopposed, a feat impossible by the laws of physics UNLESS explosives were used to disintegrate everything holding the building up, i.e. a controlled demolition. See for yourself:

Hi all, love Martin Sheen!
Could someone pleeeez let Brad know that there are so very many poor people trapped there?! He’s emphasizing that it’s people who don’t "have the sense" to leave. grrrrrr………. THEY ARE TRAPPED, BRAD!
Here’s a quote from one of the Parish Presidents, who said that 20% of residents in his Parish had no way out. When asked what would happen to them, he replied: "THey’ll be the search and rescue effort tomorrow."
Is anyone else heartsick yet? What kind of country is this????
Please, ask that people of CAmp Casey remember these people in their prayers, also!!
There is a heart-wrenching picture of people waiting to get into the Superdome, but I’m too dumb to know how to post the URL "properly", so I would be tsk-tsked, so……… to hell with it. Start searching.

Hey, Brad: Are you planning to broadcast from DC S24?
Great photos Alaska Gyrl!
And keep up the awesome coverage, Brad. Thanks for bringing it on home! I’m glued to my Raw Radio!
VG #144 –
Also that the funds for disaster studies being carried out for just such an eventuality were just discontinued by the "administration." CNN just announced that the Superdome, which will be housing many people with nowwhere to go, was being examined for viability in a major hurricane, but the study was stopped – or "wasn’t done yet," as the reporter gulped over.
That Hamster deserves a Congressional Medal of Honor for valiant job he’s doing!
Go Brad, this is wonderful coverage of a momentous event.
Brad,
I’m in San Diego. Your show is awesome. Keep going. You sound great. You are a talented professional with a conscience. Enjoy all your interviews and appreciate your dedication. You’ve got to go national!!! Thank God for the computer.
Peace.

Will Bush stay on vacation while the hurricane destroys New Orleans?
by John in DC – 8/28/2005 02:16:00 PM
Has anyone heard any news about this? Latest I heard he was giving a press conference in Crawford where he devoted like a minute to the carnage coming our way. Let’s take bets on whether he continues his vacation while our country suffers a major disaster.
Extra points for anyone who predicts, and is right, that Bush disappears for the day while hiding in a missile silo in North Dakota.
Chickenhawk Watch: Bush still on vacation while deadly hurricane approaches New Orleans
by John in DC – 8/28/2005 03:23:00 PM
Just checking in with our Hurricane Bush Vacation Watch, keeping a tab on whether Bush is going to return to Washington to deal with this historically devastating hurricane, or whether he’s going to stay on vacation while a major American city faces imminent disaster.
Oh, and as someone already noted in the threads, can’t you just see Bush staying on vacation while all this happens THEN touring the damage like he’s some kind of concerned hero? Just like Bush, run and hide when the going gets tough then claim victory later. It remains to be seen if the media is going to ask what the hell the president is doing remaining on vacation while a major disaster is imminent.
We’ll be giving regular Bush vacation updates throughout the day.

Thanks for the links to AmericaBlog.
At the same site I found this:
Press Wants to Know if Pro-War Officials Will Send Their Own Kids to War
—snippet—
The Herald tossed the question as Romney as he was honored by the Massachusetts National Guard. "No, I have not urged my own children to enlist. I don’t know the status of my childrens’ potentially enlisting in the Guard and Reserve," Romney said, his voice tinged with anger, the Herald reported.
—–read more at link—–
Thanks for this coverage, Brad.
I wonder if LA has enough National Guardsmen to handle the disaster about to hit them?
Anywhere to LISTEN to the rosary without the yack-over?
I am not catholic, but would like to experience it without the DJ talk.
Brad! did ya see my #141 post Re: ALASKA GYRL’s photo?
Rabbi Shuman
It’s interesting that it’s hard to find exact figures, but of the articles I’ve found, all of them state that out of 535 members of Congress, less than 10 have kids serving in the Iraq War. I saw articles ranging from 1 to 6 at the highest. That’s around 1% of Congress has kids in the Iraq War.
How many of Bush’s cabinet have kids in the Iraq War? How many of Bush’s actual cabinet (not their kids) were even IN a war? ZERO??? And these are the architects of the Iraq War! No wonder it’s a mess!
Hi, Bushwacker – It could also be the ENVIRONMENT fighting back! May the green trees and beautiful natural environment overcome the destructive, fake "Bushes"!
PEGGY
I have to admit, I prefer your interpretation rather than mine! 🙂
Perhaps Cindy’s bus tour will go to New Orleans to try and help out some! She might bump into Bush at his (planned, no doubt) "photo-op of phoney concern", and can take the opportunity to ask him the crucial questions (that we know we cannot honestly answer).

TRUBS-Duh? Didja know you’re listening to the Brad Show? Now, ya do!
hey brad!! from du here..
I can not help but think How Andy Stephenson would have been there in the middle of Camp Casey if he was still with us. He is there i am sure in Spirit!!
As a MOM of a son Casey..my heart is with Cindy Sheehan…i send her my love and thoughts..and prayers!
My love is with all the others moms and dads who have had the torture of loosing their child to this insane war.
Cindy and those parents down there have planted the seed in this country to demand change..we will not let them down in the rest of the nation!!
We must never rest until the killing ends..and i say..not in my name!!
thank you Brad for bringing Crawford to us !!
😀 fly
Thank you, Brad. May all you hard work on behalf of America bear wonderful fuit: peace and justice for all.
Sorry about the r’s: your, fruit! Good Night!
Hi everybody. :pouts: I sure wish I could have been here for this. I’ve been listening to the last 2 hrs. on my wireless headphones! But I missed "talking" with y’all.
I didn’t see that anybody caught this link, but just for any Methodists who visit:
http://www.theymustrepent.com
[snip] Who are we?
We are United Methodists bringing a letter of complaint against United Methodist Church members George W. Bush and Richard "Dick" Cheney for their chargeable offenses of crime, immorality, disobedience to the order and discipline of The United Methodist Church (UMC), and dissemination of doctrine contrary to the established standards of doctrine of The UMC. We are calling for accountability and repentance from these two members for their sinful behavior. This specific letter of complaint originates from two United Methodist members, Rev. Courtney Ball and Josh Steward, from the Iowa Annual Conference, but we are encouraging anyone who reads the letter below and agrees with it to sign their name to the letter as well. When the letter has had time to circulate and gain signatures, it will be presented to the various recipients listed on the letter in order that they may investigate the claims and push for a resolution to the complaint. [snip]
Brad, How wonderful find your webcast. Never heard of you before yesterday (my husband was the white bearded Korean War vet you talk to at the Peace House. Yesterday was our third trip to Crawford and my daughter will join us on Tuesday. Any info on what will be happening?

Bush Vacation Watch Update: Thank God Katrina STILL hasn’t ruined Bush’s summer vacation
by John in DC – 8/28/2005 08:42:00 PM
Bush’s message to those wimpy Louisianans who think they’re going to ruin Bush’s vacation by complaining about hurricane Katrina:
[picture of GWB flipping the bird]
Yes, according to the latest news I can find, Bush is apparently STILL remaining on vacation in Crawford while the US faces what is now being called quite possibly the biggest hurricane to strike America in our history.
Now, a smart president would cancel his summer vacation and rush to Washington to coordinate relief efforts, etc. But let’s face it, Bush does what he wants (and that usually means party) and his staff NEVER contradicts him, and that includes NEVER interrupting his vacations. Did anyone really expect otherwise? Bush’s own wife was under presumed attack at the White House and his staffers refused to interrupt Bush’s bike ride. Do you honestly think anyone has the guts to even suggest that Bush get off his ass and return to Washington in order to show leadership?
Why isn’t Bush returning to Washington to show some leadership? Funny, you won’t find the mainstream media asking that question because then they won’t get invited to any more barbeques.
once again from AmericaBlog
Hey Y’all!
Any chance of getting a thread going specifically for hurricane related stuff? This is gonna get really bad.
You folks from Louisiana and the Gulf area – let us know how it’s going and what we can do to help.
Who still needs shelter and can get to north Alabama or middle Tennessee? Let me know and I’ll see what I can do.
Hey Bushw@cker 😉 !! I saw that. I’m looking around for an exorcist for ya.
Those evangelists do not speak for all Christians. In fact, I think the more they show of themselves the more people will see they do not represent the true message of Christianity. They are exclusionists and they aren’t studying enough to know what they’re supposed to be believing. Anytime FEAR is used in a religion, they have missed the point.
Does anybody know who is performing right now? I’m LOVING this.
Carol in wonderland … thanks Brad!
Now, a smart president would cancel his summer vacation and rush to…New Orleans and do a "Moses" like parting of the sea’s … ah WINDS of MASS DESTRUCTION.

We need to start taking global warming and the earth serious … this record breaking hurricane season and the melting of greenland and other places is no joke (link here …. and here).
The president needs to realize the reality of this and get back to the Kyoto Protocol and other environmental sanity.
ReBradCast in progress now on the White Rose streaming links.
Hey Deb…Not sure what’s going on Tuesday…Figuring it out as we go along (as usual 🙂 Good meeting you guys yesterday!
Thanks everyone else for listening today and keeping the word spread! WhiteRoseSociety.org will be ReBRADCasting today’s show all night long until we’re back on again at HIGH NOON in Crawford tomorrow!
Apologies to Trubs who was bothered by our speaking over the rosaries. I was joined by a devout Catholic who assured me it was okay, else I’d not have done so, of course, and we tried to allow a fair portion of it to be heard (it went on for about 40 mins or so). We certainly don’t wish to offend anyone, and hope that we did not.
See you all tomorrow! Thanks for everything guys! You all rock hard…PEACE!
Agreed Dredd! Bu$h needs to be hit directly by hurricane "Kyoto".
Thanks again to Brad and all who helped … I wish I had been able to particpate more actively … but maybe tomorrow …

There is no timetable. There is no legitimate definition of victory. There is no contingency plan for mission creep. There is no clear funding program.

BAGHDAD (AFP) – US forces in Baghdad shot dead a Reuters television soundman and wounded a cameraman, Iraqi police said.
"American soldiers opened fire on the team, killing the soundman and wounding the cameraman before detaining him," the police said.
The crew had arrived at the scene of an earlier rebel attack on an Iraqi police convoy in al-Adel district, west of Baghdad, which killed two and wounded one, police said.
US ambassador to
Iraq Zalmay Khalilzad said the incident was unfortunate but stopped short of apologising.
"This is unfortunate… but sometimes mistakes are made. We don’t target civilians," he said when questioned by reporters covering the finalisation of Iraq’s first post-Saddam Hussein constitution.

Oh God, Torqued –
HOW do we stop it??
I love you, Torqued. I’m twisting in the ethos right along with you…
Who knows Peg… Maybe hurricane Katrina will change things for cheney. Lets hope so, and lets pray for the people of Louisiana and Mississippi who were abandoned in their time of need.
It’s a shame such a pretty name was chosen for such a devastating storm don’t you think?
I’m praying in my own way. Those images of lines (mostly black) of people trying to enter the dubious safetey of the Dome really sent me over some psychological roof. Dubya stopped the safety assesment of the facility.

WILD! Except for your third link, I’m online.
In regards to comment # 203 about the upcoming "catastrophic attack" port disaster exercises we’ve been hearing about, is anyone else thinking "well, after all those ‘exercises’ held on 11 Sept. for their 9/11 inside job, and teh anti-terror ‘exercise’ in London on the morning of 7 July that mirrored the actual bombings to a tee, as cover for the actual 7/7 British inside job, is anyone else wondering if Bush & company are soon going to rig up a nuclear 9/11 or something else horrible using this ‘exercise’ as a cover and use this new disaster as an excuse to round up dissidents?" I can’t be alone in wondering this. You can’t trust these bastards.
re #219: yes of course. see this thread and this one too
