Creepy DX

Commander Bunny invades my dreams, its bad enough he ruined what used to be good hobby of pirate radio listening but this is gone too far!!! Now I cant even take a nap without the bad rodent and his Mosby/Beans/Krackhead/Bob Snith/Winston socks haunting me. PLEASE MAKE IT STOP

Happy Bowling Slohbz

What a shame

I searched in vain on the short waves for the crystal ship, it used to be a nice part of our sunday nights here. I can't listen much any more because of other commitments, but I tried every Sunday night and TCS never appeared. I think they gave up, it is a shame, that they would be so intimated by krackhead and his sock puppet league and all of those ass holes who ruined this hobby. Looks like Poet will never put out another broadcast, he is too busy sitting in his basement. What a shame, that bunny/krackhead/mosby/beans/blowing leage has ruined what was a fun hobby for everyone.

Halloween Pirates!

 Radio Al Fansome says "Boo!"

It's only September, but it's never too early to start thinking about Halloween on the shortwave pirate radio bands! This is the best time of the year to be listening. All kinds of strange, creepy, and entertaining programming happens around Halloween. It's probably the biggest holiday of the year for shortwave pirates.

Here is a list of some of my favorite shortwave pirate stations that should be active this year. Happy DXing!

Radio Al Fansome -- Al Fansone reads the celebrity obituaries from the past year using a backing track of spooky music from old Disneyland Records. Always entertaining! This station's gotten even better since Al himself entered the great beyond. (QSLs for reports to the Intercourse, PA maildrop)

The Crystal Submarine -- John Zombie Poet, Zombie Radical, and their zombie crew play songs by the Doors in reverse, extol the virtues of Karl "Groucho" Marx, Vlad "The Impaler" Lenin, and Joe "The Butcher" Stalin. Creepy classic rock music by noted bands of the seventies. This is the first pirate to broadcast from a sunken ship! Their motto is: "If you live in a crystal ship, you shouldn't throw rocks!" (sends E-QSLs only in exchange for your name, IP address, real address, and credit card number. However, if you're nice to them on www.tcsshortwave.com, you might get a blow job from the site's operator.)

Dead Bunny -- Bootleggers from the ham radio bands send nasty SSTV images on top of other stations all weekend long between 6900 and 6980 KHz in an attempt to troll Commander Bunny. Last year we were highly entertained with rabbit butchering tips, Thumper from Disney with an arrow through his head, and a truly creepy image of a bunny in a blender. (They are not known to QSL.)

KABR "Artie Bigley Radio" -- North America's favorite shortwave pirate troublemaker dishes out the dirt on all the pirates he's stalked over the past few years in this exciting and eye-opening talk show. The fact that Artie is batshit insane goes well with the halloween theme, as does the fact that he only broadcasts on October 31 in lower side band! (Columbus)

Voice of the Trolls -- Sped-up and speech-altered dialogue between trolls commenting on the posts on Guy Faux's blog are a feature of this station. (Beware, some have reported that they QSL by sending a bag of shit to you.)

WFRN -- The rotting corpse of pirate radio fan sites usually appears around 6925 KHz with a warbly, variable signal. They feature novelty Halloween music from the likes of John Arthur and the Bog Bodies. Also featured are call-outs to listeners who long ago abandoned the scene, tips for turning your Windows 95 machine into a pirate radio listening outpost, and the creative use of sock puppets. Hosted by Bob Smith, Thumper, Beans, lovemyradios, and Mosby. (Belfast)

Voice of the Unbelievable Catastrophe -- This one is really fun! The Maharishi eats a bag of shrooms, steals a nuke and drops it on the Middle East as punishment for sentencing pot smokers to death in Saudi Arabia. As if this weren't enough, the Maharishi flies back to North America on a magic carpet and drops a truckload of camel dung on Pigmeat Martin! Reefer music and fake public service announcements featuring in-jokes about shortwave pirates and SWL Winterfest personalities make this one a must-hear! (Mount Kisco)

Slopbucket Celebrity Deathmatch Radio -- Got a tip-off that this year Fred "Booze and demerol" Roll WW4D and Karol "Radio Canada" Madera VE7KFM are scheduled to beat the living shit out of each other live on 43 meters! Be on the listen for surprise appearances from other sideband boogeymen. The referee for this year's deathmatch will be none other than FCC vixen Laura Smith. (QSLs have been received from Industrie Canada)

WBST Busted Radio -- Formerly known as "The Beast," this interesting station is notable for playing death metal using a powerful mobile rig in a van while parked in the driveway of recently busted pirates! This year broadcasting from Lansing, Michigan. (Washington, DC)

Commander Bunny, God, and Bad Dreams

I dreamed my name was Dirk and I got chopped in half and ended up at heaven. Then I met God who was Commander Bunny. Off to my happy reward, indeed. I woke up in jail again.

They told me not to worry about it too much when I have dreams like this. I wonder if Poet has dreams like this? And poor Fansome, who Bunny/Mosby/Thumper/Krackhead/Beans and all his other sock puppets says is dead.

Sources of the madness

What's going on in radio? Can you triangulate radio transmitter sources? Larry King said 3 to Craig Ferguson last night when I felt 3 muscle twinges in my leg. That's not nerve damage, that's remote control either through a computer controlled secret implant from Commander Bunny in 2005, or a radio wave weapon. Who the hell in this government is messing with my mind? I need to get out of wonderland. Did you know Louis Carol was a child pornographer and Alice is a symbol of a enslaved girl being drugged and rapped. Minnesota has a lot of human trafficking according to MSNBC, and one of the most advanced brain research labs in the nation. They're making child sex slave cyborgs here. I think this is hell.

The mysterious Pigmeat/Bunny connection

Pigmeat and Commander Bunny in happier times. From the jta collection.

Long before the shit storm that's currently peculating on the interwebs, Pigmeat Martin and Commander Bunny were best friends in the free radio scene. What happened to tear this friendship apart has long been a part of the free radio lore, long expunged by the "delete fucking everything" ops on the frn. Alex is in jail again this week, so in the interest of the truth, we are dropping the first of many docs on the mysterious Pigmeat-Bunny connection.

Sock theory

Devout followers of Commander Bunny often wonder if the rodent's online reputation is the target of sock puppets, i.e., one or two people who bash the bunny online using a variety of fake personas. It seems everyone has a theory about who is a sock puppet for whom in this regard. But some will deny that sock puppets actually exist.

Personally, I don't believe there are sufficient motivations out there to bash Commander Bunny for a variety of competing interests. I have my own pet theories about who may be gaming the system but I don't put a lot of stock in them. One of the more intriguing possibilities is whether it would be worthwhile for a government to play a role in manipulating Commander Bunny's image. I doubt it but can't rule it out. If you google it a bit, you'll find ample evidence that China employs sock puppets to control opinion about the Chinese communist party. But now we know too that they are not alone in this as the US Dept of Defense has apparently invested in some technology that makes it easier to create sock puppets and control them from a central place. The story appears to have been broke originally by the Guardian.

As for the various Commander Bunny bashers who have made it their life mission to trash him, I doubt any of them are compensated for their work. I think what we see there is mostly disgruntled former pirate radio operators hell bent on slandering CB.

What's your sock puppet theory, Mr. Sock Puppet?

A response to "Anonymous"

I don't normally pay a lot of attention to the anon comments here. but this one, showing up earlier today, deserves a response of its own.

>There was a time when Poet's commentary on politics was entertaining. 

Perhaps. But after about the tenth show it got real repetitive.

>But his never ending rants at Commander Bunny only make Commander Bunny a bigger personality than ever before. 

Only on the internet. Poet has not been heard on shortwave lately, except for a relayed show or two. He didn't say anything on these shows of any importance.

>Were on [sic] to believe any of what Poet says, and I don't, you'd have to believe that Commander Bunny is the single most powerful entity in Pirate Radio. 

How so? Poet and his fan club insist that Commander Bunny, who they believe is the same person as "Pat Murphy," is responsible for all sorts of mayhem, including alerting the FCC to Gregory Brown's pirate radio station, which resulted in him getting a "Notice of unlicensed operation" letter from them.

>One would be an idiot to piss off someone that powerful. 

I don't understand this line of thought at all. I always thought that one of the main principles of pirate radio was to rebel against authority, to make a voice against the "powerful." People involved in pirate radio are by definition "pissing off the powerful."

>Personally I see a lot of jealousy from the people who are critical of Commander Bunny. 

Well, this may be the case in part. There are a lot of egos in the radio business, and in pirate radio, it seems like these egos are much more uninhibited (and often times they're under the influence of illicit substances).

>Face it, the guy is the biggest name in Pirate Radio. 

Commander Bunny may think so. Does anyone else? This whole dispute is caused by a bunch of boys playing "I've got the biggest dork" and CB is just as guilty of playing the game as Guy Faux, Poet, and all the other socks and slurpers.

>Lot of credit for that goes to Poet, NRS, Guise and the other people who have tried to demonize Commander Bunny. 

Guy Faux et. al. have done nothing to make Commander Bunny more popular or "bigger" in the pirate radio scene. On the contrary, their actions, and Bunny's reactions, and all of Poet's whining and spamming have disillusioned a lot of people in this scene. All this shit does nothing but make damn near everyone else chuckling and/or pitiful at this dumb "I have the biggest dork so I have to have the last word" contest.

>I'm just a listener, not picking sides, but its clear that Commander Bunny is jerking all of your chains, and you're not bright enough to see it. I have lost trust and respect for Chris Smolinski who has allowed his H.F. Underground site to become a dumping ground for trash from these people. What a shame. Started off good, but went down the tubes. Please stop, it serves no purpose, and only makes pirate radio look bad.

Ya, Chris has allowed socks to infiltrate his board, and has not called Poet on spamming his blog all over the place. The same thing happened to the frn as well. In fact, it was worse over there.

All of the participants in this dispute are equally guilty. Commander Bunny and the Poet caused Guy Faux and countless trolls to crawl out of the woodwork. The message to CB and the Poet should be: if you want to blame someone for this mess, look in the mirror.

The Past Through Tomorrow

In a perfect world, people wouldn't waste their time fighting, but it's not and pirate operators will surely knock heads in the future. In some ways, these little conflicts are interesting, but it's must less so, the closer you are to ground zero. For example, I've yet to hear entertaining programs from fighting pirates.

Pirate radio operator "Doc John" revealed

Pirate radio operator revealed!

I have it on good authority that this is a photograph of the Canadian pirate radio operator known as "Doc John." I know this is true because I read it on a blog and as you know, everything that's said on a blog is true!

We here at the northern relay service appreciate that the only things that can replace our signal is pot and Jesus ( be careful combining the two). But our signal like the rapture will be announced by a voice from the air ,and if you tune somewhere between 6.930 and 6.940 sometime in the early evening you will have a chance of hearing us. In the meantime, here is a picture for your pirate radio scrapbook.

Punk Poetry (jta tells it like it is)

Jta of Belfast fame

told us today that John Poet is lame.

The crying babe on 6925

is there again, broadcasting live.

Through all the crackle and noise, said he,

Poet is whining about the FCC.

"Murphy's a snitch and that isn't funny,

I was turned in by that fuckin' bunny."

He says he has friends but his head's full of rocks,

his blogs are all full of trolls and socks.

He whines like a girl and quickly calls "snitch,"

he thinks he is king but he's really a bitch.

Beware of the baby from Lansing named Greg,

he'll poop in your hat and pee on your leg.

Ruin

Typical of what's left of pirate radio. Pat/Jerry/Beans/et al ad nauseum spends all of his time railing against those who would truly promote the hobby, instead of transmitting truly original programming. Garbage. Pat/Jerry and whatever the f**ever he tries to pass himself off as w/his sockpuppets tried to drag my my personal life (even though he f**ed that up, since he just copied newspaper/piggy-police reports into what was left of the hobby, and we all know how offbase they are) into the hobby is just part of what f**ked what was left of pirate radio. He f***d that up by not looking into what the really facts are, yet peoples' personal life has nothing to do w/logging stations. I will no longer have anything to do w/what is left of pirate radio, but I will suggest that anyone that truly cares about what is left of it ignores Pat/Jerry/Bunny/Beans/Thumper/Kracker and all the sockpuppets and thier so-called stations and sockpuppet loggings. Peoples' personal lives have nothing to do w/hobbies, but Pat/Jerry/Beans/Thumper and his lackey Krackhead insist on bringing outside garbage into what was left of the hobby. People, if you reallly do care about what is left of this hobby, please do not post/mention anything about Murphy/BunnyKracker and those who are doing their most to ruin what was once a very fun hobby.

Wiping my ass with my Crystal Ship QSL

What in the hell is going on with the poet? He quit responding to all the emails I sent after his last broadcast. Someone said that he got busted and that he was off shortwave! I can't listen anymore or surf the internet except for weekends, because of other stuff going on, but I was interested in what Poet was up to. I enjoyed his classic rock shows in 6875 back a couple of years ago!!!

Looks like he's been doing some bad dope, he is all fucked up in the head!!!!! He has a blog, just like my blog here where we tell the truth about Commander Bunny and all the damage he has done to what was such a fun hobby but is now full of sock puppets like Mosby, beans, Joe Smith, Chris Smolinski and Krackhead. His blog is all full of obsessive shit about Commander Bunny who is also the same as beans/Mosby/Winston/etc. So why is Poet obsessed about emails about this shit??? I think he's lost his mind. This used to be a fun hobby until it was overrun by Fansome etc.

Poet you are fucked up! No wonder theres no fun in this hobby any more ;(

"Pope Poet" is a delusional monkey spanker!

John Poet, former pirate radio operator, now delusional monkey spanker

There's a sourpuss out there who used to be on the shortwave pirate bands. His name is "John Poet," and since he got a letter from the FCC in 2011 for broadcasting on the funny bands, he has gone completely insane.

Check this out:

The Crystal Ship or 'TCS' is a former North American shortwave pirate radio station, founded in 1982, reactivated in 2004, betrayed and busted in 2011. Now known as the TCS Shortwave Relay Network, with shows broadcast by other pirate radio operators. 'The Poet' and 'The Radical' program left-leaning political opinion, and specialize in music from the '60s, '70s and '80s.

If this is really what "The Crystal Ship" is about, then why in the world does he fill up page after page on his blog with meaningless drivel and rants about Commander Bunny? This has nothing at all to do with "left leaning political opinion" or "music from the '60s, '70s and '80s."

On the other hand, the piles and piles of raw sewage he spews on his blog more accurately depicts someone who has lost his fucking mind!

And, they call Alex Vranes insane.

Well, hairball, it isn't over. I'm not done with you yet, but the dish is just about cold enough to be served now. However, I'll be indulgent and play your game for just a minute: if we judge the matter of "winning" the pirate war on the basis of, who has been busted by the FCC, and who hasn't, well, then obviously you've "won" that one. Congratulations. I'm sure you're proud of what you've accomplished.

Of course Commander Vole won. Isn't it obvious? You fell for his trap hook, line and sinker. He gets off on all your meaningless childish prattle! And you still think he turned you in to the FCC? Again, it's obvious that John Poet, who obviously has so few brain cells left that he can't take responsibility for getting himself busted by broadcasting regularly in his own house, for hours at at time, on a predictable schedule, and who sent out e-mails to a large list before firing up transmitters?

Commander "Bunny" exposed -- Dirty rodent masquerading as a rabbit is nothing but a vole

Commander Bunny exposed!
He's not a rabbit at all, but a dirty little vole!

Commander "Bunny" is a pirate radio operator, self-proclaimed issuer of "The Best QSL Packages in Pirate Radio ever," and vicious attacker of defenseless pirate radio listeners such as Alex Vranes, Jr.

This horrible rodent is a well documented stalker and blight on the pirate radio community. Years of abuse and unfunny radio programs have reduced shortwave pirate radio to a smoking crater now only inhabited by little boys with an mp3 player and amplifier they bought off eBay.

Commander "Bunny" reportedly will appear in a video documentary on pirate radio to be aired at the 2013 Shortwave Listeners Winter Festival in Plymouth Meeting, Pennsylvania. We have obtained screen shots from this video and are exposing Commander "Bunny" for the dirty little rodent he is.

Note that Commander "Bunny" is not even a rabbit! He is a vole, a rodent that is generally considered to be a pest and target of extermination and removal!

More lies from Commander Bunny Krackhead on shortwave

My new self portrait
copyright 2012 alex vranes

That bad bunny sockpuppet has been lying about me on shortwave radio again!! I heard it on 6950 last night, he said I was in jail and gone insane. These are all lies and is typical behavior for the rodent and all his blowing league krackheads!!!

I am not in jail, that was a lie posted by some sock puppet ;) Why the hell can't these people do something construictive instead of attacking pirate listeners on the internet?
