RE: liberty of speech

I understand Frank 🙂

I too believe in free speech, your kind of free speech because it’s well intentioned in the end ( even if a bit strange to me sometimes 😉 in the sens that you’re not trying to diminish or attack anybody or take advantage of anything.

I already told you that.

But remember that I live in Quebec and have been brought up with a State that cares for the citizens: our thirst for independence includes a strong and generous State ( social-democrat system ) as we will not obtain sovereignty the same way the USA had it, it’s not the same context and century anyways.

In conclusion, I do not consider a Nazi movement worthy of be granted liberty of speech and action, for the finality of the movement action and philosophy is not well intentionned.

From there, governments should be called to take action against these kinds of movements; Read about the Scientology movement and how they treat their adepts…

freedom of speech… And freedom in general… Is the kind of thing where if everybody don’t have it, nobody really has it.

[TheeInstagonFoundation] Digest Number 1560

and the war on art, music, culture, and people getting together continues! The Temescal is facing a $1,000 fine if it gets one more complaint. Yuppies have moved into the neighborhood! There is a pizza joint next door which is much louder… But…

So come to the series while you still can!

how many complaints has it had so far?

I don’t actually know. I know that she has just signed an agreement with Oakland as a probation period of one year with all kinds of ridiculous rules. We shall see if we last there!

Temescal

(from Clara Bellino:)
Hello Frank!

I will be out of the country on the 26th, until July 8.

I haven’t forgotten that I need to send you a station id, I’ve been having crackling problems with my recording system. But after weeks of troubleshooting, i had a brilliant idea, I tried channel 2, it is quiet…so after my show this Saturday I will take the minutes it tkaes to record for you.

Will you still be able to do your shows? I am not clear what is being threatened. ? But either way wish you the very best and that you may continue doing what you enjoy,

Peace,

Clara

* * * * *

great, Clara, about the drops!

I do a lot of different things. We do my luver /public access show from our home. So that show isn’t threatened. But I have been doing a monthly live performance series at the Temescal art center in Oakland. The Temescal is a funky, warm performance space. It has been there for years. Recently a condo was built across the street. So now the yuppies have started to complain about “the noise.” [there is very little noise!] now the city has informed Temescal that if there is one more complaint, there will be a thousand dollar fine, which would close the Temescal. The same old battle!

Re. Frank Moore’s show

To whom it may concern,

I heard that some of the forthcoming rules and regulations may jeopardize the continuing broadcast of Frank Moore’s program on your channel; I’d like to state that his show is the ONLY show I currently watch on your channel, and I hope that you are able to continue airing it.

Thank you,

Frank Moore’s programming has not been jeopardized. He will continue to have programming on BCM Channel 28.

Thank you for your concern.

(from Jon Krop:)

just letting you know i did write to them!

* * * * *

thanks, Jon, for writing! Her response is extremely interesting, especially in light of her email to us today [see below]. In these situations it’s hard to get them to admit they are gunning for you because they want YOU to appear paranoid. And they want to be able to deny. But her email below is the smoking gun. To say the least, she’s less than honest with you. True, UNLIMITED POSSIBILITIES show, the first run version, will still play three nights a week. But, as she admitted, the new rules were designed to knock off THE BEST OF UNLIMITED POSSIBILITIES which runs late night every night to fill empty air. They don’t have new local shows to fill the time slots. These rules already knocked off my music show GOING DEEP TO THE CORE AT BURNT RAMEN. As it stands now BEST OF will go off the air in July… If people don’t call B-TV at 510-848-2288.

The new rules are legally questionable, to put it mildly. But more on that later! FOLKS, CALL B-TV!

Regarding the Best of FMUP series ….

Hi Arielle,

One of the main reasons we decided not to submit a cable request for Best Of Frank Moore’s Unlimited Possibilities for the new season was because of the new rule that states “no series programs with the same host may air more than once per day”. Also, because the series would be cut down to 3 shows per week.

Originally, Frank offered to run the Best Of FMUP series because there was no programming through the night on BTV and we know that there are a lot of people who watch TV all night. It was a way to have programming on BTV every night.

We are willing to be bumped for actual shows, but we can fill empty air time.

Corey,

As Programming Coordinator, I personally feel that it is important that all producers should be treated equally. The new policies were written specifically to give all of us (including myself) guidelines on how programming will be scheduled. These policies are designed to promote fairness and equity among the entire membership. Nobody will get special treatment from now on.

I understand and appreciate the fact that you folks have provided BeTV with lots of programming. However, I must treat all producers equally – which means BOFMUP can’t stay on the schedule (as you have deciphered). I hope you understand. We’ll be finding new ways to deal with the empty hours of the evening.

Sincerely,

Arielle Elizabeth

Re: Reality Playings April 2009 page is up! (Paul Escriva) IV

Dear Frankie,

Not just A club…public access from what you indicate is indeed becoming a Private Club.

Unbelievably believable.

Will do my best in the next couple of weeks to see if I can hunt down a copy of
“America From Freedom to Fascism:” by Arron Russo.

Heaps of hugs to everyone,
xo Pablo

exactly! The organization has a vested interest in the studio model rather than the community model. They get money from running the studio, training people to use the expensive equipment, etc., rather than providing Berkeley residents easy access to the community channel. I think what freaks them out about me /us [one of the things] is we produce hours of new programs each and every week year in and year out, including a wide range of voices of the community.

In Freedom,
Frank Moore

RE: Reality Playings April 2009 page is up! (Rafael-alexandre Ramos)

(from Rafael-alexandre Ramos:)

“American from Freedom to Fascism” by Aarron Russo ; Barack Obama as President ( but the movie is dated from the W. Bush era ( 2005-06)…

How Ironic though… ( but do they really shut you up like you guys are chatting about ? Under Obama’s presidency ? Is it a federal thing or a state thing ? ).

You know Frank, I wonder especially if when a new administration comes in, they change the bureaucrates at the same time ( or key players in the apparatus ) in Washington….

Now who said the States aren’t the land of contrast, hein ? Là tu parles !

Ouais, faudrait que j’r’garde c’te film là j’imagine

* * * * *

well, it is a more complex thing than that. What I face is at the local /city level going back several years, several well publicized battles with city hall to get my shows off the public access channel in Berkeley. but there is a much bigger battle to shut down public access in general. Los Angeles Weekly had a front page expose on the subject. It is a very dark and twisted tale of how the big corporations [starting with the phone company] searched the states for politicians willing to pass a cookie-cutter bill that effectively will shut public access down. Many of the states did not go for it. But California did [and it was a Democrat who pushed it through]! And Los Angeles was the first to pull the plug.

Re: Reality Playings April 2009 page is up! (Paul Escriva) III

Dear Frankie,

Oh no…more ‘channels’ of personal expression.

I did read your email to Annie…humm.

This has yet to happen here…but you know were a little behind on things sometimes.

Did you happen to see the film “American from Freedom to Fascism” by Aarron Russo? I just watched it the other day…if you haven’t seen it I think you might want to check it out.

Heaps of hugs to all of ya,

xo Pablo

netflix does not have that movie.

other new rules include to have a series you have to belong to the organization which runs the station FOR THE CITY [FOR US CITIZENS!] which costs $60 a year. So now it is a club! And to get first dibs on the time slots for series, you have to use their studio and their equipment. I never have. In Los Angeles to pull the plug, they just closed the studios. In reality you don’t need a studio or expensive equipment to do shows. But the management justifies getting city money by running the studio, training people to use the expensive equipment, etc. so…

Other rules include a “Host ” [that would be me!] can’t be on two shows on the same day [I don’t know why!]. Keep in mind, they are legally prohibited from having any control over the contents of shows. It is hard to see how this doesn’t cross the line! And there is more ! I am biding my time!

Frank Moore
