*** Bob’s Insider’s Message ***
Now that the new year is in full swing, time to get back to business. I am preparing to go to Russia for a few weeks, but don’t worry, WOL will keep going just as before. They have computers over there. Lord willing and the Vodka don’t pour, we’ll keep ticking like nothing has changed at all.
Another thing they have in Russia is academic freedom. There is a much wider range of discussion allowed there, compared to the great universities of the so-called “free world.” It should make for interesting material for my upcoming radio interviews.
Yes, the next step in promoting Why Johnny Can’t Think is to begin working on radio interviews in earnest. My team is adding a member to concentrate on this. It will take a lot of phone calls and following up, but it is the key to getting the book out to people who need it. We have always seen a big jump in sales from the few interviews I’ve done.
When I say big jump in sales, I don’t mean that we are making a lot of money, because we aren’t. We are losing money, in spite of the hours of volunteer effort on the part of my team. But we aren’t losing much, and we have gotten over 2000 books out into circulation, so we are making progress.
We need your help. If you listen to or know of a local radio talk program that takes guests, then please let us know. We’ve set up a simple, anonymous form for you to take a minute to fill out. If you are willing to go so far as to actually contact the station and suggest they interview me, that is even better.
Tell us what you know about the program. They can concentrate on politics, or education, or whatever. We just need a chance to get out there.
I will be calling in from Russia, on my nickel, so that will be a point of interest all on its own. But we need your help. Please take the time to give us this information.
Radio Interviews Information Form
Please click here to fill out a simple form. Just one suggestion from each reader would keep us busy for weeks. It would really help get the ball rolling.

Yes, I tried to use your radio form, but I was warned that it is a high probability that it is not secure. Anyway, David White has a program on Sun. mornings 8 am to 10 am on WISW in Columbia. He has been made aware of Bob and his book and his website.

2000 copies is a start, but this figure illustrates the need for me to get off my duff and get it out there. It seems that so much of this online dialogue is preaching to the choir. It is an extremely useful tool, an excellent source of information and a forum where one can communicate with others about the process of doing something this comment at myself, I am guilty as anyone in this. I’ve made a few futile attempts to discuss things with others, seemingly fruitless. Maybe seeds have been planted, but flinging Bobs books out there far and wide is what needs done. Put them in the libraries and those who are receptive will find them, and encourage others in their circles to read.
I believe there are a multitude of outreach methods just waiting to be developed. We are smart people, we need to rise above this muck and mire and dazzle people with the prospect of a once again strong, respectable nation.

Not secure:
For what?
From what?
To what?
Where?
There is an extremely high probability that this blog is not secure.
My cable company has assured me, and I have seen for myself with the security supervisor’s equipment, that there really is no such thing as security on the internet. He refused to tell me what color underwear I had on.
But with billions of computers in the world – I doubt they would care what radio stations one listens to.
My super-secure machine didn’t warn me about anything.

I tried to use the radio form and when I pushed send, I got a sort of pop up from my internet provider issuing the security warning. I chose not to use it – I backed out – better safe than sorry. We are talking ID security here.

Bedford, I thought you kept telling me about Confederate bravery.
I don’t see “Better safe than sorry” on any Confederate banner.
By the way, I have not gotten one single radio interview.
Way to go, you Brave Heroes.

I’m just going to make some time tomorrow morning and personally urg Radio Liberty to interview Bob Whitaker. The program is out’ve Monterey, CA, and the show is aired in 35 or so states, and archived online.

I don’t know much about radio stations, but here is my modus operandi. I go out on the internet and search for radio stuff. Then I look for a contact. To that I send the following message:
You should get in touch with Robert Whitaker, http://www.readbob.com , author of A Plague on Both Your Houses, and talk to him about his new book Why Johnny Can’t Think. He is available for interviews and is quite witty.
This goes out under my name and my email address.

Michael Graham on WMAL 9 to 10:45 am weekdays – go to MichaelGraham.com and email him and check out WMAL from his site – it’s on the net so millions and millions could listen. Now, David Horowitz is attacking liberal academia and another jew, Michael Savage, has been attacking Hollywood for years. The four legs of Leftism are the media, academia,the charitable trusts, and government.

From Stormfront:
Michael Savage seems to be the flip-side of Lapin on the race issue. He’s a comic-book “racist” who, as part of his act, conveniently condemns Arabs as “subhuman animals.”
Double bonus for the Establishment- Savage carries the banner for the frustrated conservative with racial instincts, all the time parodying the Hollywood image of the angry while male. His circus act marginalizes us on the race issue, and then he diverts those who fall for his act into rabid Zionism, safely channeling their racial animosity into anti-Arab sentiment.
Savage has been lately defending the soldiers at Abu Garaib. This makes him look patriotic and anti-liberal-media while degrading the standards we expect of our military people- all for Zionist interests.

The question is whether Savage is doing more good than harm? It is a question of degree. He claims 10 million listeners and he does attack Hollywood and “Islamo-fascists” and declares liberalism to be mental illness. He was on tv briefly, but the homos drove him off. If he was about only money, he would dropped his talk about homos.I keep saying that I do not agree with anyone more than maybe 75%. He is firing some shots at some of the enemy.

Bedford, ole buddy, why should I e-mail him. Your hand broke?
