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.

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.

"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?

They persecute me!!!

It's a shame what that insane idiot (we all know who I'm talking about) does. He was on 6925, but deliberately moved up to jam NRS. He apparently thinks he owns the airwaves, the Internet, etc., etc. Now watch, he'll/they'll now probably slam me on one of his/their "shows," and I use that term very very loosely in his/their case, on his/their "blog" (and again I use that term loosely--I guess it should be more like rants in all of these cases), and his/their Pirate Radio site. I understand mental illness, but this clown really seriously needs professional help. And he's complaining about bloggers--what a joke, LMFAO!!!

For sale: pirate radio station, cheap!

I got an email from one of my friends today that I need to share ;) Maybe you can help him out and keep the airwaves free from all those ass holes :-))

Dear Alex, As you know Bunny/Krackhead/Mosby/Beans/Murphy/Thumper turned me into the FCC so I can't broadcast any more. Anyway I am selling my rig and I am giving my friends the first chance to own a piece of pirate radio history! Email me for the specs or post on the free radio cafe for details.

Sincerely,
John Poet
