Scary Board Member quotes Bylaws RE: CAB

Glorious Leader's dear friend and ally Michael Papadopoulos in tussle with Traitor Hadrian over Community Advisory Board and related bylaws!  Or bylas!  We're not sure which, but it's a tussle!

Comrade Papa can't spell to save his life, but spelling, like math, is secondary to blind loyalty in Our Great Struggle!!!

KBOO Bylas Artt VIII Section 4(a) ays:

"The Program Committee shall conduct ongoing evaluations of programming and programmers; evaluate program proposals; make recommendations concerning programming changes to the Program Director; and advise the Board of Directors regarding programming goals and issues. The Program Committee shall also serve as the corporation's Community Advisory Board. In that capacity, it shall review the programming goals established by the corporation, the service provided by the corporation, and the significant policy decisions rendered by the corporation; advise the Board of Directors with respect to whether the programming and other policies of the corporation are meeting the specialized educational and cultural needs of the communities served by the corporation; and make such recommendations as it considers appropriate to meet such needs"

Context seems to be missing but don't worry cadre.   All you need to know is who is a friend of the Inner Party and who isn't.

Super sekret double triple agent Rabia, WHO DID NOT HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH DESIGNING THIS BLOG WHATEVER COMRADE NASSAR SAYS, weighs in:

The PAC most certainly does not do ANY of these things. I will bring it to the attention of the committee regardless of the interim who is busy planning a remodel of the listening room, true story.

Hey!  Remodeling can be timely comrades.  It's a great way to install that surveillance and bugging equipment to keep track of Inner Party traitors trying to stifle Inner Party free speech with facts and stuff.

Then Traitor Hadrian ATTACKS Comrade Papa(anything slightly critical of an Inner Party member's position is an ATTACK):

Michael: KBOO is not now, nor has it in the past, sought to restore Federal funding by trying to qualify under the CPB. Even if it did, the CPB did not and would not force us to follow any particular programming model, much less direct us to air less political or controversial content. They have neither the power nor the intension to do so.

Back in the day, KBOO was warned that it was in line to lose Federal funding as it no longer qualified due to the small number of listeners and the insufficient funding from our members. KBOO, like other stations who received this warning, had sufficient time to turn that around. Most did. KBOO did not.

KBOO also did not apply any significant cost cutting measures. Rather, it began the unhealthy habit of depleting our reserves from that time until now. When our former manager attempted to study our staffing needs to see if we could cut costs, the staff refused to participate and, many say, forced him out under trumped up charges. Many believe they are doing so once again, largely by way of a very small number of members acting as proxies, and members acting in good faith, but mislead the lies, distortions and propaganda of this small group who by no means represent the interests of all of the members. 

Surprisingly, in the face of unremitting financial problems and during the time of the staff collective, the staff finally agreed to a staffing needs assessment as proposed by Judy Fiestal. She conducted the review with the help of a consultant. After the review, the recommendation was made to cut a modest number of hours, five, from all staff who did not produce revenue. The staff subject to such cuts observed that they were all female, and the income producing staff were all men. A claim of gender discrimination was made. Certain members of the staff then tried to get the whole of the staff to agree to recommend to the Board that the cuts be applied equally. In other words, in the times of financial difficulty, they proposed that the people bringing in income work less. They could not get consensus to that proposal. They then acted without authorization of the staff or the proper review of their proposal by the finance committee, and presented to the Board the plan to cut hours equally. This was not all. They falsely claimed that this plan had been approved by the staff. The Board, unwisely, approved the plan. Let me repeat that. In the face of financial difficulties, the Board approved the cut in hours to staff who produced income. When informed of the dishonesty of the staff, the Board did nothing.

If certain staff took such dishonest measures to advance a foolish proposal, what do you imagine they might do when a new Station Manager began work on a new staffing plan, one which most likely involves the reduction in the number of staff.

Not that the staff has acted directly, at least not openly. Certain KBOO members apparently acted as proxies to spread lies, slander and outright propaganda, as well as to engage in tactics of intimidation, threats, and even, as it has been alleged  blackmail. Unfortunately, these tactics activated a larger number of members who, acting in good faith, objected to the possible cut in controversial programming and the corporatization of KBOO -- all spurious charges.

Now you associate the call for KBOO to act in compliance with our by-laws (which you would ordinarily champion) with KBOO being forced to be less controversial. Why? Most likely because it would bring in community leaders to advise KBOO, not just your beloved members. You seem to not understand that a CAB can result in more members from these communities as a result of better serving their needs. That has been the case at other community radio stations. It can also be true at KBOO.

The people who would sit on a Community Advisory Board would have the knowledge of the needs of segments of the communities they would represent, and the ears of the member's of those communities. These would be the communities unserved or underserved by non-local consolidated mega-corporate radio. These are the communities we exist to serve -- but largely do not. These are the communities which corporate radio does not serve, and, ironically, neither does KBOO. I find that reprehensible. KBOO is underdog radio, yes. However, we need to let all of the underdogs in the door, not just those whose politics you or I or other members agree with. We need to serve the needs of half of the members (as shown in a member survey) who primarily listen to music. I mean, how radical was Bill Monroe?

The FCC has said, in response to complaints of religious broadcasters, that CABs would have no power to compel these stations to air any programming contrary to their values. The same would apply to KBOO.

We keep true to our values, act in accord with our by-laws and open our ears to people who can speak to the needs of their communities with authority -- communities unserved or underserved by corporate radio and KBOO alike. 

In 1998 KBOO brought in consultants from the National Federation of Community Broadcasters (NFCB). The intent was to see how KBOO might reverse the decline in listeners and membership support. The report from the NFCB had many recommendations about the nature of our programming and our scheduling. That report is included in every Board member's packet. It suggests that KBOO might get grant funding to do a market analysis of what programming is needed in Portland.  However, its a more direct and less costly process to get ongoing advice from a Community Advisory Board.

Let's deal with what I feel is the real source of opposition to a CAB made up of community leaders. It would lessen the power of staff to approve of programming and provide slots to people they have cultivated as friends. One clear example of that is rewarding close friends of staff with expensive passes to music festivals. One of our consultants decried such nepotism. The response was to rebut this charge with a dictionary, rather than addressing the problem the consultant was pointing out. This Board member could have suggested that such passes be awarded to Board members, programmers and members who are demonstrated strong fund-raisers, or at least at random. Consulting the dictionary does nothing to correct the blatant behavior of rewarding friends of staff with expensive gifts. 

A properly constituted CAB also loosens the strangle hold programmers have over their on-air slots. As previously mentioned, when programmers were surveyed by the then Program Director about possible changes in our programming, they said, nope. Leave our programs alone.

A CAB threaten the powers that be in the KBOO radio club, a station which largely benefits the staff, programmers and a small number of members. A CAB, on the other hand would be a good step toward transforming KBOO into a true community radio station. Do we emulate corporate radio and not listen to unserved and underserved communities, or do we open up our xenophobic culture and seek input from the communities we seek to serve -- but do not.

The worse way to get us to live up to our purpose and our values is to appeal to laws and regulations. We should have a CAB not because we must, but because it advances our mission. Any opposition to such a CAB based on legalistic arguments is a way of trying to preserve the status quo, and to squash the revolutionary idea of listening to the people we need to be serving. I though radicals were supposed to be agents of change. Not at KBOO. They go to great lengths to resist internal change, even ones not only in line with our values, but which advance them. It aligns KBOO with corporate radio. Thats not only pitiful, its shameful.

 Who the hell cares  if the results of the Inner Party policies bring it hypocritically in step with corporate radio that Glorious leader denounces?  The REAL issue here is Traitor Hadrian ATTACKING Comrade Papa!  

 

 

Comrade Papa is not to be fucked with!  Not only does he enjoy the support of Glorious Leader,

but Comrade Papa has a LONG history of defending the Iron Rice Bowl by ANY MEANS NECESSARY:

 In 2009 and again the next year, Michael Papadopoulos sued KBOO over a ruling that he could not be seated on the board. This was due to a standing FCC regulation limiting the percentage of non-citizens permitted ownership status of a broadcast outlet. Both Michael and John made patently false claims in their candidate statements that the case against Michael's seating was illegitimate.

The original 2009 case, which eventually cost KBOO tens of thousands of dollars in legal fees, was dropped by Michael and co-petitioner Scott Forrester the night before the court date. When Michael re-filed his case, he ended up seated on the board due not to the merits of his case, but rather due to an inaccurate statement in court by the president of the board claiming that a board seat was available. Due to the costs of the previous lawsuits, KBOO opted not to appeal the ruling seating Michael. These facts, as well as the history of financial damage done to KBOO by Michael's efforts, are all part of the public record.  http://kboo.fm/governance/ lawsuits

Michael's lack of concern for KBOO's stability has extended to public events. During a presentation to the KBOO membership at the April 2011 Strategic Planning Public Meeting, Michael verbally intimidated and physically attacked a representative from PARC Resources, attempting at one point to grab the microphone out of his hand.

Violent outbursts based on erroneous and flawed information! Now THAT'S commitment to the Cause, comrades!!!

Like Glorious Leader, he's a Foil Hatter

 If you are a member of KBOO as at Fri Aug 28th 2009, note that Cris Andreae, Maire Cullen, Michael Papadopoulos and Scott Forrester are the candidates for board of directors (balloting closes Sept 28th) most likely to bring 911truth and exposure of "fake progressivism" to the fm broadcast band in a big swathe of the state of Oregon USA (see  http://kboo.fm for details)

Mai-not] ] Video: Demonizing 9/11 Truth - hearing on HR1955

Fri Jan 11 19:07:02 PST 2008

If you can access YouTube check this video
Brasscheck TV  <http://www.brasschecktv.com/page/252.html>
Why are HR 1955 and other repressive laws becoming a necessity?
Because US citizens are getting too close to the truth?
What can a corrupt government do when it realizes that the people are
catching on
Demonize the truth tellers.
Right now, as you read this, the US government is engaged in a
sophisticated media campaign to equate 9/11 research with terrorism.
Sound outlandish?  It's not.
It started with a Congressional hearing called: "Using the web as a weapon:
The Internet as a tool for violent radicalization and homegrown terrorism."
At this hearing, 9/11 Truth groups were lumped together with violent
terrorists.
You can watch them do it with your own eyes.
This is an extremely important video to spread.

Um  Ooookay.  We mean, YES COMRADE!! Demonizing truth tellers!  Even when they're not telling the truth!!   That's exactly what's going on!!!  Remember Noble Resolve!  If not for these truth tellers the Portland Metro Area would be a smoking radioactive crater!!!!!  Our Glorious Leader was there!!!  Ghost Troop foreveh!

Dear Capt. May:
I wish to second the good wishes expressed by Lenny Bloom and Dr. Fetzer below.[more batass crazy stuff follows....]

This is the context of these current KBOO maneuvers by the Enemies of the People!

This CAB/bylaws, or  bylas, is nothing but a read herring distracting from the fact the Inner Party wants to distract members from doing anything that would make KBOO work for most of the community, not just the Non-Radical Radical Foil Hat crowd.  

And what the HELL is Hadrian thinking taking on Comrade Papa?  Look at his past record!  Look at the guy himself!  If you saw this guy wouldn't you fall into line with the Inner Party ASAP?

 
We thought so comrades!   Nothing says Inner Party commitment like long term BDS bat ass crazy!

POWER TO THE INNER PARTY, er, THE PEOPLE!!!
