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?

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.

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 ;(

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?

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.

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
