The Guns & Butter radio program yesterday aired a presentation by Lawrence Teeter, Sirhan Sirhan's attorney. Teeter spoke at "Killing Hope," the event sponsored by the Coalition on Political Assassinations [COPA] & Citizens for Truth About the Kennedy Assassinations [CTKA].

The attached mp3 runs for just under an hour and is about 13.5 megs (apologies in advance to those with a dial-up modem, but if you're interested in the subject, it's worth downloading).

In the FreeSpeech.org link I posted above under "more info," you'll notice that the RealAudio and RealVideo files on that page are no longer active. I hunted around and found

http://web.archive.org/web/20010602132516/http://free.freespeech.org/rfkennedy/

and was able to get the RealAudio program to play. So, here's an mp3 as an additional archive file. It's an interview featuring Larry Teeter, Rose Lynn Mangan and Adel Sirhan (Sirhan Sirhan's brother). It's an audio track from a community access cable TV show, "Over the Shoulder," with Glen Lynch; Runtime: 28:11; I doubt the show is still around. Lynch talked about using Media One studios (which was bought by AT&T and then Comcast). I'm not sure when the show was made, but I'd guess around 2000.

Some real pungent information belatedly uncapped. Again it shows our toilet paper legal system used by the forces of darkness. Democracy by assassination, business as usual.

thanks for posting the Teeter interview. Its an excellent supplement to our feature story (I've linked it on the front page) and very interesting in general as well.

I'm trying to upload (2) mp3 files.
They about 7,000 kilobytes each.
For some reason once I hit "publish" in a minute or so the message comes back website not responding.
Any ideas.

thanks,

Thanks gang. 

imc volunteer, I saw your link.  You're welcome.  :-)  I knew folks here would dig it.  Maybe you can comment on builder123's question or flag it for others to look at.  I had the exact same problem.  I assumed it was due to the size of the file.  So, what I did was publish the main mp3 files over on SF IMC (if you look at my html code or look at the file URLs in your browser's status bar when you put your cursor over the file links you'll notice that -- but most non-geeks wouldn't notice :-)  Then, I made a tiny text file with the code to make the SF IMC-housed mp3 files stream off the DC IMC stream server, and saved that single text line as a tiny "fake" mp3 file about 2 k in size. 

The fake file is what this is:

http://la.indymedia.org/uploads/rfk-stream.mp3   

You'll see that link at the top of my original post.  It "tricks" LA IMC software to think a full mp3 has been uploaded, gives me the little icon for the headline listings on the right of the top page and files the story appropriately under all the audio files -- i.e., my story pulls up if one clicked on the near the top-left front of the page.  

If anyone downloads (rather than simply clicks on) that "rfk-stream.mp3" file and then opens it with a standard text editor (not an audio player) you'll see that it has nothing but the following URL inside:

http://dc.indymedia.org/video/metagen.php?url=http://sf.indymedia.org/uploads/lawrence_teeter-june_7_2003.mp3  

The...

http://dc.indymedia.org/video/metagen.php?url=

...part is the "preface" that makes it stream off the DC IMC server, and that's what they do with all the front page audio files over at radio.indymedia.org

 builder123, follow what I'm saying with the above?  These tricks are handy for situations when the server chokes on a large file.  But it's also handy for reproducing and formatting a story, with the master "meaty" files housed somewhere else.  For example, you could post your story over on San Diego IMC and then do one on LA IMC that links to it, either with just a generic link, or you can do real html and make it look smooth like what I did, including the "fake" tiny mp3 file in my original post above.  Post here with follow-up questions if I've lost you.  I'll see it.

imc volunteer, since builder123 appears to have experienced the same problem I experienced, it's probably not a fluke.  It's likely either a software bug or a disk space issue.  When/if I see it again, I can report the "bug" - and perhaps someone tech-side can look into this.

Best,

ziggy

 

You're got audio for the "Kucinich – A Cure for Voter Apathy" story, eh?

I just saw your nice collection of photos. You always do great work.

If my description of how to make a "fake" file didn't make sense, feel free to just post your story to San Diego IMC and then post the URL over here for me to see it and I'll produce something nice for LA IMC and give you attribution. I enjoy listening to Kucinich speeches anyway, and I'm archiving them when I find them.

I knocked R. Kovic's speech down to 32 bit and it uploaded. Still digesting your above info.

Kucinich audio very poor.

Thanks again,

Those with an interest in the RFK case might like to take a look at my webpage. I argue that the notorious 'girl in a polka dot dress' was Kathy Ainsworth and the man who actually shot RTK was possible her boyfriend Tom Tarrants, a man who also has an enigmatic connection to the MLK assassination.
