[Spooks] WWCR

"I gather you listen frequently enough to be able to make a sweeping 
generationalization like that!!!!"

As much as I hate to admit it, I'm afraid I do.  I ran across WWCR when 
I moved to Nashville back in '91 and they nearly blew my S-meter out of 
my radio.  Turns out, I lived only about 5 miles from their transmitter 
site.  Back then, it was pure diatribe each evening about UFO cover-ups, 
UN concentration camps, black helicopters, and mind-control beams, etc.  
The militia stuff was later cited as something that McVeigh listened to 
and if he actually believed that garbage, I can certainly understand 
what pushed him to the edge.  All I know is that after Oklahoma City, 
the most egregious programming calling for violent overthrow of the US 
government disappeared, never to return.

At least the stuff today isn't as racist as the stuff of old, nor is it 
quite as paranoid.  I listen to it today (nearly every night) as a kind 
of catharsis; no matter how bad my day is, it's never gotten as bad as 
these guys say it is.  As far as Alex Jones, to borrow a line from an 
old Dirty Harry movie, he's a legend in his own mind.

"Perhaps you get your info from the "Daily Kos"!!"

Sorry, haven't a clue what you're talking about.  Either way, it proves 
that the time I spent in the military ensuring the right to free speech 
worked.  I just hope it was worth it.

What I can't figure out is the Christian Radio connection to all the 
rest of the stuff they transmit.  To me it gives Christians a bad name.

So, I find WWCR laughable.  If you find it informative, so be it.  I 
listen to it, so you may as well do the same.

Anyway, I don't mind this discussion, but I don't think it sticks well 
to the intent of this reflector.  As such, I won't follow up with any 
more.  I'd rather stick to identifying the weird things that aren't known.

Have a good one...

I listen on occasion and find some of the programming quite interesting...Even the bombastic Alex Jones who I dont always agree with is often ahead of the curve in terms of social awareness, for good or bad he is even drifting into the main stream.
