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.

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.

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?

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.

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?

Funny cry babies!

Alex is in jail this week so he's asked me to keep an eye on things here on his internet home. The comments have been very interesting! I think most of them are fake, though.

Speaking of fake, have you noticed that it seems that all the anonymous postings on that other sock puppet blog are from one or two people? It's always a couple of loud mouthed babies who post over and over to try and make whatever they're crying about appear important. For the longest time, all we've heard from John Poet is a thousand whiny posts about why Commander Bunny is bad. Not once has he ever posted anything constructive about pirate radio since he lost the so-called pirate war.

It's really hilarious to see how these one or two babies get poopie pants when Commander Bunny posts another one of his ridiculous, over the top messages complete with equally ridiculous graphics. Some people can't realize the joke's on them!

Thank you for all the funny comments, even if most of them are fake!

Talk to you soon,

CJ

This used to be a fun hobby but it sucks now :(

Haven't even bothered to listen 2day (unfortunately, due 2 present circumstances, Sundays are the only day I can listen). This goes back years, but much more so over the last 3 or 4 years. Last Sunday just reinforced my feelings about lack of interest in what was once a really really enjoyable/fun hobby, but has become dominated by asshole ops, and most longtime listeners that were really dedicatd to the hobby don't bother posting anymore, mostly due to the fact that the asshole ops just do their their best to alienate longtime listeners/supporters of the hobby. And most of those that are left just really don't care about anything but seeing their names listed in loggings.

All kinds of socks LMFAO!!!

Those "complaints" are all made up!!!

And BTW, anyone notice that all the "complaints" about John Poet on the bunny blahg are from 'Anonymous' listeners. Now, they couldn't be just made up, could they? ;>P And I like this: "perhaps next time the bunny will mention you, alex." C'mon, JerryMichael/Pat/Bunny/Beans/Mosby/Thumper et al ad nauseum, why don't you just say "I" instead of "the bunny?" Typical cowardly behavior from a rightwing redneck hater--hide your real identity!! Again, LMFAO!!!

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

Announcing the North America Pirate Radio Relay Service (NAPRRS) on 14.313 MHz USB!

So many people have contacted me lately about the lack of good programming on pirate radio these days so I am creating a new relay service! This new network will use powerful transmitters and good programming to take the airwaves back from all those Mosby/Thumper/Krackhead/Beans/Murphy stations and the stupid shit they play such as peoples private details!!! ;=>

NO RODENTS!!! ;=)

There will be no commander chipmunk or blowing league stations on this network so you can be assured of hearing the best classic rock and commentary without any bullshit! Check out the programmers making new shows for the NAPRRS!!

Powerful NAPRRS Transmitter specially modified for world wide shortwave ops!!!

Look for new programming happening every evening at 8 PM on 14.313 MHz USB! This is the new pirate frequency where all the good programming will be happening!! We are broadcasting in side band because it has the best sound and will show off our powerful transmitters and processoring equipment!!

The Crystal Ship Heard Again! New broadcasts on shortwave tell it like it is and expose Bunny/Krackhead/Beams/Mosby/Winston as sock puppets

John Poet is back again. Last evening I recorded TCS clear as a bell on 6875 am playing music by the Doors, Janice Joplin, Bruce Springsteen and more! Thanks Poet for making the airwaves good again and not polluted by Krackhead/Mosby/Beans/Murphy/Winston/Mosby and the blowing league!

They're all sock puppets, all of them, and they've destroyed pirate radio!

How many sock puppets do you use?

We all know about Mosby/Krackhead/Beans/Murphy/Winston/Bunny and all their sock puppets and what they've done to destroy pirate radio. But what about John Poet? How many aliases does he use? How about Corq/Chris/Fansome? You think they're all different people? And Yellowknife/NRS/DocJohn/etc.? They're probably all sock puppets.

How John Poet & His Gang of Anonymous Cowards Ruined Pirate Radio: Getting Himself Busted By the FCC, Abandoning Radio For the Internet, Getting All Spun Up By Beans, & Going Crazy

"I'm more into "hard evidence" these days." -- John Poet

We all miss the Crystal Ship and their thought provoking blend of rock music from the sixties. It is a shame that they broadcasted regularly from the owner's home using a high powered shortwave transmitter in a suburban area near several licensed radio stations, or else they would probably still be on the air. They probably should have never sent out mass e-mails before their pirate radio broadcasts that listed the time and frequency they were going to be on. You never know who or what might be on the other end of that email.

"guess what man just because you win a gold medal in the special Olympics doesn't mean your no longer retarded." -- Kracker

Instead of telling the FCC to go fuck themselves, John Poet, the operator of The Crystal Ship shortwave pirate station, decided to do a big "expose the rabbit" spew on a blog on the internet after his "bust." There was one broadcast of the Crystal Ship via a relay station that was heard by a couple of people a few months ago, and then John Poet has abandoned pirate radio in favor of sitting at a computer screen, writing screeds about people he feels are responsible for his fall, and practicing the art of clever web page authoring by attempting to use every possible typeface style and color in his posts to give them a better sense of the urgency they desire!

John Poet is a Spammer!

John Poet drove himself over the edge with all this internet crap. He was spun up by his apparent inability to recognize that he himself might have been responsible for the downfall of his pirate radio station. Or, maybe he didn't give a shit about radio at all and instead prefers to join the masses of unwashed anonymous cowards on the internet.

Maybe it also had something to do with the sock puppets.

"I am in Harpers Ferry W.VA. Not North Carolina or Virginia. As I said, check my IP address, even a simpleton can work this equation out." -- Winston tries to impersonate Alex Vranes of Harpers Ferry, West Virginia

Winston Beans Mosby Bob Smith Bill O Rights Kracker Murphy Graves Bunny Bigley is a sock puppet. He may not even have anything to do with pirate radio. He may actually just be an internet troll. He may be a she. He/she/it likes to mess around with dedicated pirate radio fans who used to enjoy this hobby that has now been abandoned by everyone except for the bowling league.

"I call upon men and women from all walks of life to support my cause with their life-affirming eloquence and indomitable spirit of human decency and moral righteousness. Only then will the whole world realize that society must soon decide either to encourage open, civic engagement or else to let Commander Bunny, Kracker, Beans, Thumper, Mosby, Bouncer (& sundry other sock-puppets not yet fully identified) abandon us on a desert island." -- Poet becomes unglued

Asshattery

Wow, this is some nice screed. John Poet places himself up on a pedestal and shouts from his internet bull horn, "Support my cause!" I shed a tear because of this post. I would have liked to hear about it on the radio, because I used to like pirate radio, but it's now all overrun by Beans/Winston/Bob/Kracker/Graves/Mosby/Smith/Bill/Murphy/Bunny/Bigley.

But I'm getting ahead of my self. Like I said, John Poet should have told the FCC to go fuck themselves. He should have taken the Crystal Ship underground and mobile and continued to broadcast. Maybe under a different name. On different frequencies. At all times of the day and night. With no stupid blog or email notifications or fancy QSLs or any of that shit. Maybe he also could have changed the format of his radio station so there wouldn't be so much of that classic rock like what the cheap channel cumulus shit that's on fm.

The FCC would probably not have given a shit about The Crystal Ship unless they hadn't been broadcasting down the road from a licensed FM station 

"Circumstances suggest that, along with the complaint, went real name and address information on the station operator known as John Poet.  (It is admittedly possible that he turned this information over to "Kracker" of Radio Jamba International, or one of his other henchmen, to do the actual dirty work of snitching to the F.C.C.-- so that he could maintain the more pleasant fiction to himself that "I didn't do it-- someone else did."  Kracker in particular has seemed anxious to signal his involvement by circulating a photoshop of a sinking Crystal Ship entitled "SinkingDaShip" along with other comments.  However, since 'Commander Bunny' was the only one who could possibly have supplied the pertinent information, we hold him ultimately responsible for being an FCC informant). " - John Poet slanders other pirate radio operators

But this was not to be. John Poet stomped up on a big pedestal and cried out to all the anonymous irc world, "Bunny/Kracker did it! Mosby is a sock puppet! They busted me! I was not responsible for my own fall!" He seemed to forget about radio completely and focus entirely on long, exhaustive screeds about exposing bad things happening on the internet!

I was completely shocked by this, as I didn't think anything bad ever happened on the internet!

"The Detroit Office received information that an unlicensed broadcast radio station on 6815 kHz was allegedly operating in Lansing, Michigan." - The FCC

Face it, Mr. Poet. You did this to yourself. Pirate radio at one time gave a shit about you. Now you're just some useless windbag on the internet. Look at what pirate radio has become now. A dumping ground for Beans/Mosby/Krackhead/Murphy/Graves/Mosby and all the others.
