Radio stations get taken down...

I'm not sure why radio stations are getting taken down if it's legal or not, but a lot of stations have been going down. Another one in Santa-Cruz did. Here's the site: http://www.radio4all.org/

radio for whom?......The airwaves nominally belong to the people, but the reality is most of the media outlets worldwide are owned by a steadily smaller number of large corporations who use them to expand their wealth and power.

Even the so-called "public stations" increasingly take corporate money or emulate corporate paradigms. This means communities and individuals are increasingly shut out of the process of determining what information they receive.

A right of "Free Speech" that only the rich can exercise is no right at all !

"This struggle may be a moral one, or it may be a physical one, and it may be both moral and physical, but it must be a struggle. Power concedes nothing without a demand. It never did and it never will. Find out just what any people will quietly submit to and you have found out the exact measure of injustice and wrong which will be imposed upon them, and these will continue till they are resisted with either words or blows, or with both. The limits of tyrants are prescribed by the endurance of those whom they oppress."
