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

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.

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?

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.

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

Furry Rodent Network abuse UNCOVERED!!!! ;>

I got myself busted and it's all the FRN's fault! That awful FRN and all its bunny sock puppets have ruined pirate radio!

This seemed to deepen the silence on the FRN even further.... but my Email box started going wild.  I began reading all these narratives, about the abuse of FRN posters by Commander's sock-puppets, and how FRN accounts got deleted when anyone else had tried to speak up about them, etc etc etc.  Most of this was news to me; from what I read, the disappearing accounts seemed to happen to posters who were newer, or had a lot fewer connections with others in the hobby than I have.  Besides, in some previous off-board altercations with 'Pat Murphy', I had made it quite clear that I would not hesitate to use my large Email list to broadcast whatever I felt needed saying-- in the event that anything ever happened to my FRN account-- so I guess "Commander" realized that I couldn't be silenced by deleting my posts or my account, as he had done to others with smaller footprints. The FRN is bad and was the cause of my downfall, and all those FRN Commander's sockpuppets abused the former FRN posters who came to exemplify the FRN conspiracy against The Crystal Ship and Alex Vranes of Harpers Ferry. West Virginia. Some of the FRN abusing sockpuppets also infiltrated the FRN threads on other forums until they were kicked out like the FRN abusers they are, and his rampant and increasingly obvious use of sockpuppets on the FRN pirate radio forum to reinforce his smears and to bully and intimidate other FRN posters into silence.

NASPRRS reception in Pennsylvania ;->

Thanks to Al Fansome of Deadville, Pennsylvania for great reception of Radio Hilltopper on the North American Pirate Radio Relay Service today at 6pm UTC on 14.313 USB sterero!! Al writes

Much better than the Bunny/Kracker/Mosby/Beans/Thumper stations!! Thanks Alex!!!!

We'll send a QSL to you real soon Al ;) Thanks for listeing!!!!!

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!!!

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!!

We will accept QSL requests from anonymous trolls on Corq's blog but if you are a sock puppet we will send your personal information to the FCC!

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.

"YOU STARTED THIS, YOU TWO FACED LIAR, NOW LIVE WITH AND STOP CRYING LIKE A LITTLE GIRL! " -- Kracker

TCS Shortwave reception on April 5

Amazing reception of The Crystal Ship on 6875 last evening. Clear ID about 20 seconds in. Really good to hear poet back on the air again via the powerful Northern Relay Service! Much better than those Bunny/Mosby/Thumper/Krackhead/Beans stations ;)

Destroying pirate radio

NOT FUNNY

Some f**kin a**hole sent this to me in the mail. Bunny/Mosby/Beans/Krackerhead/Jerry is destroying pirate radio with all this garbage. Besides I can't eat hard candy any more since got all my teeth punched out in jail.

Identifying Information

Woo!

D'ya notice how Jerry Michael/Pat/Beans/Mosby/Thumper et al ad nauseum wants "certain" people ;) to not disclose identifying info about others, yet he mentions ad nauseum the full names/addresses of 2 of his "enemies," LMFAO???   :)

Geez, talk about "do as I say and not as I do!"  :)
