What's missing on the airwaves of KPFK and Pacifica? In the name of belt-tightening and fiscal responsibility, the network and the station have once again begun purging the voices of grassroots activism, and particularly from poor and working-class communities of color, communities of resistance.

At KPFK, local news is gone, Jerry Quickley is gone, even the new general manager is already gone. Are you hearing from the young people struggling for a meaningful, quality, liberating education? Have you heard about grassroots resistance to gentrification in Boyle Heights or Venice? Do struggles against organized white supremacists, police abuse or Zionist aggression going on in Orange County make it onto the air? Has KPFK provided significant air-time for a new generation of activists to host their own shows and bring their own perspectives to bear, offering fresh solutions to long-standing complaints?

Is Pacifica creating a buzz and forcing the corporate media to cover stories through independent, aggressive investigative journalism? Does open, scintillating debate or honest self-critical examination of issues and weaknesses facing the left in the era of Obama happen on-air?

Has the listenership been informed about or allowed to comment on the future direction of the station and the network?

Can you hear beat reporters exposing spineless Democrats in Sacramento, educational privateers at LAUSD, or police abuse around Southern California? Is there significant coverage of and from the diverse Asian communities of the L.A. basin?

If your honest answer to these questions is a truthful "NO," then you must act now to change the status quo at KPFK and Pacifica before it's too late. Only concerted action and support for a slate of community-rooted dissidents can save KPFK and Pacifica.

Pa'lante En Lucha
Lawrence Reyes

I would like to help but what's the point?

Jesse Jackson said, "Keep Hope Alive."

I once believed that too.

But experience seems to teach a different lesson. We live in a rigged game and a rigged society that is not going to change.

I look at the turn of the century progressives who thought they were accomplishing something and compare then and now and have to conclude we are going backwards, not forwards.

Then I look at KPFK and see Grace Aaron and Ian Masters puffing Obamacare.

KPFK is a lost cause.

Listener candidates (Mr. Reyes avoids mentioning he is a listener candidate) are members of the foundation who have contributed a minimum of $25 or done three hours of volunteer work, while staff candidates have a higher threshold for volunteerism. Listener candidates, with ironically far less a connection with the radio stations than staff candidates and regular volunteers, consistently have the most outlandish, conspiratorial claims to make against stations. This is the case in across Pacifica. Read the candidate statements posted at pacificafoundation.org for a sampling of scare tactics like this. The station will be taken over, claims of purges, et al. have been a part of Pacifica elections for some time. What is written here is very similar to what is elsewhere.

I have surmised these issues to be purely campaign posturing. Pacifica's bylaws assign several tasks to the board. Programming micromanagement as Mr. Reyes claims he can do here is not one of them.

Those voting in these elections should read the bylaws to get educated about what the board is permitted to do, before basing votes on misleading emotional appeals. It is clear some candidates haven't read the bylaws at all, and that should be a prerequisite.

Reyes asks for "support for a slate of community-rooted dissidents can save KPFK and Pacifica. "

meaning vote for a group of us who have a particular point of view that is limited, slanted, biased, non-inclusive, propagandistic and only "we" can save the radio station and Pacifica ???

That "we" will continue to beat their drums to their own choiced views only and not be OPEN, not be FAIR, not be FREE in sharing with differing views. No dissidents allowed at the far left or right or any extreme side. Of course.

Vote for those who will limit the programming, if they only could, to what they believe and want to propagandize ?

How foolish does Reyes think the people who actually send in their hard earned cash are ?

Many listen to certain KFPK programs, and not others, limiting themselves to PAYING for what is their favorites and ignoring the rest of the left-political-pandering. Many find some educational and information that is not available elsewhere without the usual BIASES loudly professed and the malicious accusations included.

Those are more than the mere followers of the "group" that Reyes would like to think he represents, as he probably cannot represent any sizable segment of Pacifica listeners at all.

To ask for a "slate" to be followed, is asking KPFK voters to follow, not think for themselves. What a bad idea ! No independent thinking allowed at a radio station that claims, tho it does not often follow this claim itself, it is for "free speech" but limits its programs to only one political non-variety.

Dont vote for the sheep, even when they are turning in the wrong directions...away from Free Speech into Political-Correct-By-OUR-Standards-Only talk.

That is not what the mission intended in spirit or in words for Pacifica.

Vote for those who can think and act in more thoughtful and independent ways. Those who do not demand obedience to their-way-only. Those who can open up thinking and question all sides of all the statused-quo's . Not a slate. Not a group vote. Not a rigged position to dominate the radio station in any manner at all.

Dont fall for the fear mongering and threats. They are blasts of hot air hoping to appear to be rising. But actually falling into more limited prejudices of the slate's own. Not KPFK as it is promised for so long.

The multiple, annomyous comments against Reyes and their failure to address the first post look to me like the work of the astroturf public relations firm hired by whoever is financing Grace Aaron and the Slate Mailer candidates.

"Listner" -- spellcheck much?

No, I do not work for a PR firm nor do I profess to know what you are talking about. That "whoever is financing" and astroturfing remarks look like the work of someone who can't address my point. Who is this "whoever" anyway? The Jews? The crypto-Democrats?

You say my not dismantling the first post is failing to address it? I did not want to embarrass a poorly informed (though surely well-intentioned) candidate. Since you asked...

"What's missing on the airwaves of KPFK and Pacifica? In the name of belt-tightening and fiscal responsibility, the network and the station have once again begun purging the voices of grassroots activism, and particularly from poor and working-class communities of color, communities of resistance."

This statement attempts to set the tone, but let's be clear. This stuff is what the thinking population calls "a conspiracy theory" -- meaning there is little real or solely anecdotal evidence to prove these assertions. It claims political firings are a fact -- something no one can prove, unless Reyes has personnel files that demonstrate his claims.

"At KPFK, local news is gone, Jerry Quickley is gone, even the new general manager is already gone."

Reyes' implication: local news was purged. Strange. I could have sworn I heard KPFK news just yesterday. There are surely some adherents to the idea people like Jerry Quickley (an incredible activist, a crappy journalist) had their paid positions reduced (even though some are still on the air... . just needing to do it without pay, like the rest of the volunteers, who were never paid) because they're so politically uncompromising the stations feared them (note sarcasm, insert dramatic music). I can find people who say Obama is not a U.S. citizen too. Makes neither true.

Reyes' Implication: Sean Heitkemper was purged. Wrong. He resigned, stating his desire to do other work. Given the conspiracies around Pacifica like this, it is amazing any staff stay at all.

"Are you hearing from the young people struggling for a meaningful, quality, liberating education?"

Yes, and they usually don't want to be lectured by old folks about what they think they need to know. Reyes' implication: Elect me and you will hear from them. Board members have no role in programming or micromanagement of programming, per the bylaws.

"Have you heard about grassroots resistance to gentrification in Boyle Heights or Venice?"

Reyes' implication: Elect me and you will. Board members still have no role in programming or micromanagement of programming, per the bylaws.

"Do struggles against organized white supremacists, police abuse or Zionist aggression going on in Orange County make it onto the air?"

Reyes' implication: Elect me and you will. Board members STILL have no role in programming or micromanagement of programming, per the bylaws.

"Has KPFK provided significant air-time for a new generation of activists to host their own shows and bring their own perspectives to bear, offering fresh solutions to long-standing complaints?"

Read the bylaws. Seriously. Board members have no role in approving new programming. None. Zero. Nothing. Reyes may as well be talking about world hunger. Elect him and he will have no impact on that too.

"Is Pacifica creating a buzz and forcing the corporate media to cover stories through independent, aggressive investigative journalism?"

No, because we're too busy entertaining conspiracy theories of purges and infighting to do anything else.

"Does open, scintillating debate or honest self-critical examination of issues and weaknesses facing the left in the era of Obama happen on-air?"

Wow. You really SHOULD turn on the radio. I hear it all the time. There's this show called Uprising you ought to check out.

"Has the listenership been informed about or allowed to comment on the future direction of the station and the network?"

Yes. It's called the election, open board meetings and committee participation.

"Can you hear beat reporters exposing spineless Democrats in Sacramento, educational privateers at LAUSD, or police abuse around Southern California?"

No, really. Turn on your radio. It's there. Not that, as a board member, Reyes has any impact on how journalists report... unless he's advocating the board take a role in training programmers and reporters (which it can't -- those are operations tasks that LSBs have no role in either).

"Is there significant coverage of and from the diverse Asian communities of the L.A. basin?"

This presumes these communities want Pacifica involvement. Cultural imperialism, anyone?

"If your honest answer to these questions is a truthful "NO," then you must act now to change the status quo at KPFK and Pacifica before it's too late."

Claim: Elect me and programming and operations will change. Wrong. LSBs have no roles in either one.

"Only concerted action and support for a slate of community-rooted dissidents can save KPFK and Pacifica."

See first statement. This is rooted in the conspiracy theory that KPFK and Pacifica must be saved from some faceless menace (the Jews, the crypto-Democrats, et al.) purging politically uncompromising people and suppressing an array of voices, and that electing board members who haven't read the bylaws and do not know what they are tasked to do can rescue Pacifica.

Happy now?

Ian or Terry Goodman's defense OF THE LAME BY-LAWS...........The same By-Laws that serve the Few The Select and never get off the Air at KPFK or Pacifica. I say it has to CHANGE starting with a Board that isn't held up by simply people's Mal-Adjustments and Brat Attacks but that could come together Advocate, move to bring listener's together in a By-Laws Summitt and AMMEND and CHANGE the Whitewash the By-Laws are!! Then move to get things done.

Whoever wrote this showed they know nothing of the slate mailer controversy.

None said:

I don't know. Why hasn't Grace Aaron told us where her slate mailer money came from?

None said:

>local news was purged. Strange. I could have sworn I heard KPFK news just yesterday.

Whoever wrote this shows they didn't listen to KPFK news a year ago.

None said:

>He resigned, stating his desire to do other work.

What is the basis of personal knowledge of whoever wrote this? It sounds like None has some contacts inside KPFK that an average listener doesn't have.

None said:

>Does open, scintillating debate or honest self-critical examination of issues and weaknesses facing the left in the era of Obama happen on-air?"

Wow. You really SHOULD turn on the radio. I hear it all the time. There's this show called Uprising you ought to check out.

It sounds like none has only listens to one show.

None didn't explain Reyes initial question of why KPFK is losing money and listeners.

However, I bet I know None's answer to the problem. Support Grace Aaron and her friends for the election and KPFK will be just fine.

"Whoever wrote this showed they know nothing of the slate mailer controversy."

This comment about slate mailers was bundled with allegations about PR firms. These are remarks purely intended to bad-jacket what was said. Critical of bad candidates? You must be ignorant, work for a PR firm, support Grace Aaron, "astroturfing," ad nauseum. The truth is this candidate sucks, and does your desire to change the station not one shred of service.

"Whoever wrote this shows they didn't listen to KPFK news a year ago."

You asked for me to deconstruct Reyes' rant. He claimed KPFK news is no longer on the air ("gone," contrast with words like "gutted," which 'Listner' implies). I noticed it is on the air. If it is no longer on the air, please speak up. Otherwise, move on.

"What is the basis of personal knowledge of whoever wrote this? It sounds like None has some contacts inside KPFK that an average listener doesn't have."

Or the menace that funded slate mailers slipped me a folder, right? The average listener can sign up for any number of PUBLIC Pacifica listener email lists, from which I read the resignation letter. Check yahoogroups, riseup.net and so on. The information, when one isn't sniping without spellcheck about pogroms, is really not very hard to find. You should try it.

"It sounds like none has only listens to one show."

You may also want to consider a grammar check too. What is 'has only listens to one show' exactly mean in the English language? If you are claiming I only listen TO one show, that is not the case. But this isn't about me, but bad candidates.

"None didn't explain Reyes initial question of why KPFK is losing money and listeners."

I wasn't asked for that. I was asked to address the first post. I did that, line by line. Reyes himself never asks that question, though there is a comment that his piece is an analysis of your question. And it is, but a bad, uninformed one. I can do that explanation if it's that interesting (surprise: my analysis doesn't involve the station failing because Jews are purging the lefties), but I am guessing it isn't.

"However, I bet I know None's answer to the problem. Support Grace Aaron and her friends for the election and KPFK will be just fine."

You really should try peddling this silliness to someone else.

I must qualify my comment that a candidate "sucks."

The candidate clearly has not read the basic documents of the organization whose board he wishes to be part of.

The candidate pledges to change things he practically cannot change, and preys on the ignorance of voters who don't know he can't.

The candidate makes promises he cannot keep.

The candidate manipulates people and their ideals of social justice, diversity and fairness by raising important struggles (that he can't create air time for) purely to get the audience to vote for him.

"Sucks" was convenient shorthand for all of the above.

NONE is none other than Ken Aaron the wife of the PACIFICA Shocker Grace Aaron the same person that file a Lawsuit against KPFK listeners about her Slate Mailer and is now the Interim Exc Director whom yelled that the Pacifica Network was going Bankrupt. She then started to fire 99% of the Black Staff of the 4 radio stations. After which she decided to paid herself a salary and put her un-qualify friends into those positions. Grace Aaron does not need money and in particular the hard earn donated money from listener's. Her husband playing None here is a candidatefor KPFK Local Station Board while his wife Grace Aaron ,Excutive Director plunges the Network into greater despair and he benefits from the Conflict of Interest None gets too be in denial about and how he stands to FULLY benefit from his lack of intregrity and honesty with his Reactionary Mentality. We will have None of what you are Sucking On,

Oh good god.

I started this out saying what the candidate claims is completely misleading, pure campaign posturing, that I backed up. Everyone has since been treated to accusations that include:

* My comments are the work of an astroturf public relations firm
* That I support Grace Aaron
* That I am married to Grace Aaron
* That I am a bylaws purist (for pointing out the candidate is lying about what they can do, not that anyone even knows my actual views of the bylaws)
* That I have contacts in KPFK the average listener does not have

What's better is most of these accusations come from people who can't spell or put a sentence together, but profess to know everything about me personally, because they certainly cannot refute facts.

If I was going by the name "The Easter Bunny," the candidate would still suck.

If I was calling myself "Bernard White," this erstwhile campaign to change stations that resorts to name-calling when challenged would still look absurd to anyone with a brain.

No, I am not Ken Aaron. No, I do not work for a PR firm. No, I do not support Grace Aaron or approve of the existing bylaws. No, I do not have KPFK contacts. You still need to learn to spell, get a decent slate of candidates to support and put together a coherent point.

"No, I do not support Grace Aaron "

Then who do you support?

I support Pacifica getting a competent executive director. Grace Aaron, as part of an incompetent board, is not suited for the job, nor is anyone even vaguely related to the board. That said, I recognize finding one who is both competent and can navigate the snakepit of half-truths and cliques will not be easy. Pacifica won't get a competent e.d. until it gets competent boards.

I support Pacifica getting competent boards. Electing people who lie to and mislead voters with promises of things they cannot deliver is a travesty.

I support intellectual honesty. It damages the social justice movement and the argument for progressive radio when we permit people who claim radical/progressive politics to base their work on falsehoods to campaign, when we permit conspiracy theories to rule the day, and we blindly support lying candidates because they say stuff we may personally like.

Ken Aaron answer's who he is Oh Yes You Did and calls his wife Grace Aaron Incompetent in the process. Why are we Losing Listeners and Money if Programming Content is our Product or is it a White-Wash?

None, you didn't answer the question: who do you support?

Let me try it another way: who should I vote for?

"Ken Aaron answer's who he is Oh Yes You Did and calls his wife Grace Aaron Incompetent in the process. Why are we Losing Listeners and Money if Programming Content is our Product or is it a White-Wash?"

Very obviously, you want to pose this question to Ken Aaron. I'm still not Ken Aaron, so I doubt you want my answer. I'm also not going to bother spending serious time answering a question to someone belching up such a dumb allegation. And it was called "oh yes you will," not "Oh Yes You Did." That you can't even remember a title from one screen to the next and shop a conspiracy theory makes my day though.

Next.

"you didn't answer the question: who do you support?"

I thought my answer was patently obvious.

I support better boards, a competent executive director and intellectual honesty. Definitely not this particular candidate, who clearly misleads people for votes.

I got online and read candidate statements. I plan to attend candidate forums and ask questions one-on-one with candidates I think show some promise. I'll ask if they ever dealt with budgets, their fundraising experience, how they have dealt with human resources issues, outreach. I won't ask them about programming, although I expect they know the board's role is not in programming already. In short, I will be an educated voter, and suggest others do the same.

If your question is "who among the current candidates do you support," I haven't really settled yet. If your question is "who among the KPFK/Pacifica factions do I support," any that DON'T use the usual bad-jacketing, conspiracy-theory tactics will at least get me to take a look. If your question is "will you name some of the people you think are offering something good to Pacifica," the answer is no. I'm a veteran enough of online forums to know detractors seize on names as a method of attack, rather than address the issues.

"Let me try it another way: who should I vote for?"

See above. My recommendation is always to question all the candidates and bounce any candidate from the list who is campaigning on stuff they will have zero impact on in their board capacities: programming, getting people their own shows or on the air, ensuring particular interest groups get airtime, ensuring staff gets appropriately schooled on a correct political line, and so on. Until the bylaws change, they are the binding documents these candidates who are running are tasked with. Promises by a candidate to address programming and purges is as good as each promising me a pony if they get a #1 vote.

Once I decide, I can post it if it's that exciting.

As none goes on and on with generalities and bureaucratic concepts, "better boards" "competence," "budgets," "fund raising," "outreach," "human resources," that leave unresolved all the concerns of who he really is and represents, nowhere does he say anything touching on vision for KPFK and Pacifica and identifying fundamental problems and issues undermining institutional success.

Reyes here begins "An analysis of why KPFK sounds different, and why it's losing listeners (and money)."

Reyes has identified a fundamental problem. He has some identified elements of the problem. Reyes also seems to understand that KPFK must be a station for people who live east of Western Avenue.

Oscar said above "KPFK is a lost cause."

If that notion ever gets started on a large scale, KPFK will indeed be a lost cause.

At the end of his piece, Reyes calls for action to change the status quo. He, unlike Oscar, wants to save KPFK and hasn't given up. Reyes has a goal. He merits credit for that.

I started with doubts about Reyes and None's claims that Reyes "sucked" bothered me at first. But after reading what None said, his lack of vision for larger problems and the long run, and lack of concern for some immediate station problems, None has convinced me to cast my vote for Reyes.

I suspect most Pacifica voters are like the above, assuming empty promises are "vision." Good luck, KPFK. You will need it.

KPFK and the entire Pacifica Network has been hijacked and taken over for many years and yet there are still a lot of people who tune in and listen any way, most of them hoping that some how KPFK will magically "return" some day.

Why don't people just change the station? Seriously, why do people still listen? Some must think they're getting something useful out of it but most seem to listen only because they wish KPFK will return back to something meaningful.

"Vote with your feet" actually works. If enough people walked away from that disaster, KPFK would have to either return to its roots else die.

we can bet -for sure - that Reyes, the braggart and solicitor of LSB votes above is smiling at the attention his sales pitch has elicited, even if some is negative, any attention is seen as helpful ... and hoping his name at least will be the one remembered...

well, forget it.

He is not the best, or even preferred by most who have heard he shout and interupt and coerce and intimidate in person. He is just another one wanting more power and pressing his particular culture & allies into maybe more positions at the station ...

from whom he may then ...of course...get back rewards and appreciation, or at least that same old political gang affiliation that holds on to More Power and More Power and more extortions, etc. Like the political parties do, or mafias, or any group that clutches on to any position to get more power/prestige/allies/power .... et al. So what's new here ?

Everyone globally has seen the same pattern at work in any govt, media, any organization... by=" hire your friends and they pay you back."..and so on and on and on.

coments above are too many words of only a two-way public contention of "who to vote for" as if anyone should be told or sold... instead of finding out the Real-Live Candidate's make up and history and attitudes and ability to work with equal others too....and more

the bylaws for LSB members may need to be reviewed because tho some *assume* if they change 'the world' or 'the laws' they would, of course !, improvise better ones. It is doubtful that 3 seconds later anyone else would agree, especially at KPFK or any affiliate stations either.

so here is the place to look the bylaws as written now up and then quibble or add on what interpretations YOU THINK, not know, *think* may improve what now exists :

http://www.pacifica.org/governance/PacificaBylaws-new.html

[1/2 way down page past Members and then Directors section]

sorry to mislead anyone who bothers to read this far down ....

fast-running as in trying to get Ahead and be First in line and huffing and puffing and all that...

Subject: letter re Lawrence Reyes

To Staff

This is to notify all KPFK staff and interested parties that as of July 19, 2007 Mr. Lawrence Reyes was placed on three months probationary status, during which time he was not to have engaged in any uncontrolled outbursts of anger or threatening conduct on station premises, or face immediate banning. It should also be noted that Mr. Reyes at that time had voluntarily agreed to refrain from participation in the upcoming October fund drive.

Seeing as Mr. Reyes displayed uncontrolled rage in the station on August 13, during the Programming Oversight Committee meeting, which incident prompted his removal from the PrOC as a member, and due to numerous complaints and concerns expressed by staff and volunteers, it is hereby noticed that Lawrence Reyes is prohibited from entering KPFK premises for all station business, be it volunteer or committee activities, indefinitely, pending review by KPFK's interim General Manager, once appointed.

Moreover, I am requesting that Pacifica's National Elections Supervisor, Casey Peters, be notified of a possible violation of the Fair Campaign Provisions for Candidates #4: "No candidate may engage in any act of physical violence or threats of violence against
another candidate or any members of the Pacifica community." which is retroactive to July 25, in the event that Mr. Reyes should apply for candidacy in the Local Station Board election.

It should further be noted that Pacifica's Bylaws state "...nor may air time be made available to some Listener-Sponsor Delegate candidate (s) but not to others. All candidates for election as a Listener-Sponsor Delegate shall be given equal opportunity for equal air time, which air time shall include time for a statement by the candidate and a question and answer period with call-in listeners." --Article 4, Delegates, Section 6, Fair Campaign Provisions. As a consequence of this requirement in the Bylaws it may become unavoidably necessary at some time for Mr. Reyes to enter station premises, subject to any possible ruling to the contrary by
the National Election Supervisor.

Eva Georgia
General Manager, KPFK

thanks to above comment about Reyes and his being banned that is probably NOT KNOWN TO MOST PEOPLE who sit right next to him within KPFK premises or elsewhere at LSB meetings regularly.

Why is the ban not noted or enforced or revealed ?
Why is policitcal correctness require that bad behavior be tolerated further behind hidden memos ?

thanks for sharing.
good work.
this should be a separate article and see by all KPFK staff presently working on site and the LSB members as well.

Someone, please tell them !
