Tampa Bay’s Got Talent

 

It was freakin hilarious watching the people auditioning for a co-host position on The Bone 102.5 radio station, but then that is why the releases were required. Just to make deliberate asses of the people? Why else would you ply people with alcohol at 10 am and offer no food to soak it up, when the majority of people were lucky to catch breakfast before lining up to get numbers for 1^st appearance in front of unknown influential judges. That action weeded out potential nightmares with public appearances. Sounds like a good excuse for not serving food. Hopefully, they will do otherwise next time. Which if I do enter, there will be NO blue voltage mountain dew to fuel me. Between that and nerves, no wonder I lost my train of thought. Sugar has a way of short circuiting the wires in our brains.

We wonder why our kids can’t sit still and focus. I can attest to that one. Even though I never would have entered the competition had I known what it was from the start, I would enter it again. This time well rested and fed, to give it my best shot.

Looking for a job that I want to do and pays money, I had responded to a craigslist ad for a Co-host position on the radio, starting salary $42,500. Not knowing who or what I applied on Dec 17, 2012. This was the response:

 Thank you very much for you response to our craigslist ad regarding our
potential Radio Co-Host position.  As I am sure you can imagine we have
been inundated with applicants.  Accordingly, we have to find a way to
separate those that are serious from those who are just trolling for a job
- any job.

However, we want to emphasize that an applicant with years of radio
experience does *not* necessarily have an advantage over an applicant with
no radio experience.  It is our goal to find the next "big" star and
experience isn't a must.  We see the best candidate as one who knows how to
promote oneself, has a talkative personality and a unique delivery.

That being said - here is what the next step for consideration is going to
be:

Please provide a :60 second audio file (MP3 format only) stating why you
think you are the right person for the job. This audio file will show us
who is serious and who is not.  We don't expect (nor do we want) a slick
produced demo.  We want just you and your voice telling us why we should
move you to the next step for consideration.

ALL AUDIO FILES MUST BE RECEIVED BY 5PM WEDNESDAY DECEMBER 19th TO BE IN
CONSIDERATION.  NO EXCEPTIONS!

BY SENDING US AN AUDIO FILE YOU GIVE US FULL OWNERSHIP WITHOUT ENCUMBRANCES
OF THAT FILE TO BE USED IN ANY WAY WE CHOOSE. NO EXCEPTIONS!

Then on January 14, 2013, I get this email:

My name is Sherman Baldwin.  I will be your contact name from here in out
and for all emails addressed to iwantontheradio@gmail.com.

This Saturday at 9am at the Ritz Ybor I will be participating in the “Tampa
Bay’s Got Talent” show put on by 102.5 – The Bone.  This open audition
format event is open to any and all that show up.  You don’t need me to
enter but what I can offer you is the opportunity to get noticed.

 You have already demonstrated your ability to have a chance at getting
this radio gig which includes $1,000 cash, a 90 day contract and the chance
to have a permanent position on the station.  That being said, the odds
remain low unless you can differentiate yourself from the hordes that have
no real talent and no real drive to get this gig.  I have some suggestions
which if you follow exactly will greatly increase your chances in getting
noticed.

If you are interested, please read on…

Please arrive at the Ritz Ybor at 8:30am – no later!
The Ritz Ybor
1503 E 7th Ave
Tampa, FL 33605
Bring at least 3 friends – this is critically important

Bring at least 3 can goods items to benefit a “Feeding America – Tamp Bay”

You and all your guests bring a blue bandana or handkerchief.

If you follow my instructions exactly – you greatly increase your odds of
winning.

This email is going out only to those people that have demonstrated the
desire and ability to possibly get this gig.  Many others will be showing
up and they likely won’t stand a chance.

You don’t need me to audition but you need my help to get noticed.

This event will likely be covered by the local TV Stations, Newspapers and
of course on 102.5.  It possibly could go national as well.

You must follow my instructions exactly.  Want to take a chance?  It’s a
long shot but aren’t the best things in life long shots?

Please email me back your name, phone number and names of your guests by no
later than Thursday, January 17th at 12 Noon.

Once you have emailed me I will give you further details.  I guarantee you
this will be a lot of fun and could change your life.

I wish you the best of luck.

This was the first time that I knew what station was putting on this event. After questioning the legitimacy of the ad, On January 16, 2012, I received this email:

A couple of things...



1)      I want to make sure all of you understand that I am not nor have I ever been connected to 102.5 The Bone, its parent company or affiliates.  I had started working on this program on my own when I placed the craigslist ad on November 24th, 2012.  The response was so overwhelming that I decided to present it to Tampa Bay radio station groups to see if they wanted to take the idea over and create a good promotion and most importantly an opportunity for somebody to get a start in a very competitive industry.  That being said, 102.5 – the Bone also came up with the idea and made it a reality.  Maybe they heard that I was doing it and beat me to the punch or it was completely a new idea for them – which either is entirely possible.  Regardless,
The bone is offering a real opportunity to get a start in the radio
business.  A 90 day contract is a real shot at getting a long-term show.  I commend them for putting on this promotion.  So many people are out of work in this economic climate that it makes sense to be creative and ingenious.  The Bone has done just that.


2)      Please disregard the part of my email about bringing canned goods to the event.  I left a message with Michael Sharkey – the program director at the Bone and he has not gotten back to me so I must assume that there is just not enough time for them to work with Feeding America – Tampa Bay at this event. If you feel so inclined please drop off any canned goods directly to Feeding America.  There address is:

4702 Transport Drive

Building 6

Tampa, FL 33605

P: 813-254-1190


In conclusion – I wish you all the best of luck this Saturday.  I too will be a contestant and I look forward to a great event.  If you still want to bring the blue bandanas and wave them around while in the audience – I recommend you do so but only wave them around when asked to do so - so it will have the biggest impact.  I hope this has cleared up any confusion and I know there is a huge amount of Talent in the Tampa Bay area.  The Bone has found a way to tap into it and I commend them for that.


Best,

Sherman L. Baldwin

In other words, where was misrepresentation? In doing research, I had found Sherman had a questionable past. Giving everyone the benefit of doubt, I checked out www.TheBoneOnLine.com and pre-registered for the live audition. Maybe some day I will find out the whole truth. One thing I know for sure, there are scams galore on Craigslist.

Guns don’t kill people

If man has been killing man since the beginning of time, then guns are not the problem.  Anger, Hate, Envy, Violence are a few of the deadly sins behind murder.  When violence is used as a form of entertainment the line between realities gets blurred in acceptable behavior.  It is the violent negative stories that get the focus of the front page news.  The ultimate video game Prize in Notoriety, a place in History books for the mentally ill who seek fame.

Take away guns there are still rocks, sticks, fire and all that has been used as weapons of war before guns.  The only way to stop violence is to prevent it.  To identify the problem is to find a solution.  What disease ails us?   Who did you last point your finger at?  If thoughts create form than whom have you hurt?  Being responsible for our own thoughts, actions, and words may they be of love?

The chemical imbalance in people can be addressed with proper nutrition.  Not the artificial, GMO, processed food, spirits that short circuit our nervous systems causing personality changes. Thoughts, word, actions that we normally would not think say or do.

The pharmaceutical drugs that are given without consideration of long term effects of possible generations afflicted as a result of non disclosure over profit.

People Kill People with any means they can.  Until we come together as a Society, that is the problem. The solution is not getting rid of any and everything used to kill people.  If that would happen, we would all have to walk around hand less?

This is the guise of Jesus

The sign the middle aged woman was holding said “I Need Kindness”. Being vague what she was asking for, I watched to see the reactions of people. Some smiled, most looked away, some went the extra effort to frown.

It is hard to understand why someone would not want to give away a smile when they are free. Do they not understand that smiles are contagious? That it is good for both the giver and the recipient? Something so simple can change a person’s life. A smile gives acknowledgement to another human being that they are worthy. It is the cheapest easiest gift to give another.

Those who make an effort to connect know the value of kindness. They know kindness multiplies when paid forward, expecting nothing in return. The feel good feeling overwhelms your heart till it wants to burst with gladness. That is what compassion is. To care about the welfare of another human. To understand what affects one effect all in some form or fashion.  

Why do some people only give when they expect to get that pat on the back, the paper of recognition, or the tax break? The jags, beamers, and benz that quickly pass by totally ignoring the potential in people because they only see face value in their materialistic World. The haves VS the have not. The sick game of keeping up with the Jones, in a never ending search for more, bigger, and better. The empty hole that never gets filled no matter how big, how much, or who they acquire. Trophies that line the walls and shelves, sitting on a pedestal to be admired idolized as worth in their lives.  

Those who would rather inflict harm on others they consider less fortunate. What sick effort to hurt others has a reward? The Law of cause and effect, what goes around comes around, the Karmic lesson in life. To hurt is to be hurt. To love and be loved is the greatest feeling to be accomplish.

To love others unconditionally is not to judge how they have reacted to the hurts and negative actions of others in their lives. Their self confidence shattered by allowing others to dictate their worth. Some spiral downward into the disease of alcoholism and addiction. It is a Spiritual malady of self-pitiful incomprehensible demoralization that accompanies the disease. This is not to say that all who are homeless suffer from alcoholism addiction or mental illness. Circumstances dictate actions. We choose to make them positive or negative.

Standing with a sign seeking kindness and a solution is much better than stealing your needs and wants. Unfortunately taking what you want causes Social problems. Those who feel entitled, superior and justified in their actions to acquire wealth do not understand that wealth is not monetary. That insatiable hole will never be filled from the outside. Those who have the least give the most. Hoping the favor returned should they be in the same position.

It is service that is good for the soul. Serving for the benefit of humanity is what brings Peace to Earth. Helping those different than you brings the change you seek. Only when we do for others can we do for ourselves. Teaching our children the generations follow. Those who show their children compassion for others are the Angels walking the Earth. The ones who give hugs, kind words and acknowledgement to those considered undesirable to the masses. This is what Jesus would do. Not dress in the finest clothing to worship in a church that condemns the homeless wearing rags, the poor who ask for their daily bread. Those struggling to find hope in a World of condemnation and pain. The deliberate crucifixion of those deemed as different. The outcast kept at bay from the gated communities who recognize others by the bar code on their cars. Signalizing they are worthy of their kind words and deeds. The privileged few who are so unwilling to share the wealth without prestige attached. It is not that giving a dollar away would break them. It is the recognition attached they seek. The shallow EGO fed soul that has a never ending bottomless pit to fulfillment.

Why show kindness, love, and compassion to another with no care to reward? Because it is a feeling no money can buy. The pit in your stomach that does flips of joy in the happiness it brings to another soul, helping you to be grateful that your problems could be worse. The hand up you give someone could be the hand that feeds you someday. No one is invincible. Fate can be cruel. As can Karma. Consider all who have been left homeless after Mother Nature shed her fury. When you have nothing left to lose you will learn what really matters in life. This is the guise of Jesus.

Seeking Justice

To Whom it may concern,

Where does police surveillance overstep the privacy of the people they are sworn to serve and protect? Who holds those accountable for personal vendettas using their position as law enforcement? Punishable under Article 42, Government officials, including police officers, may be required to pay monetary damages to a victim of wrongful arrest, according to Title 42, Section 1983 of the U.S. Code. A wrongful arrest is a violation of constitutional rights.

Hummelstown police staked out the apartment of my daughter, who recently moved back to Pennsylvania after 18 years to be reunited with her family, only to be targeted by the same officer who swore she would put her brother in prison. This officer lied about the actions of her brother to get him convicted. Now she is continuing her personal vendetta by targeting the sister.

Hummelstown police took garbage outside the apartment to find probable cause to get a search warrant. They found Cannabis stems in a garbage bag, got a search warrant to find one peace pipe and a Cannabis roach in the apartment. Now my daughter has been fingerprinted and put into the Criminal Justice System. These actions stem from profiling and Targeting for THREE Generations. Enough is enough. All those who are responsible for these wrong doings, Will Be Held Accountable.

There is a hearing 8am at District Justice Pelino on July 25^th. DJ Pelino is the same person who propositioned me as an 18 year old girl when I worked at I Hop restaurant in Hershey. I thwarted his advances and my family has been under attack ever since. He has continually violated the 1^st, 4^th , 5th, 8th and 14^th Amendment rights to prosecute my family. How can my daughter get Justice when the opposite is the example of his judgment? I will gladly submit to taking a Polygraph to prove these statements are true.

In contacting the Pennsylvania Chief Justice Ronald Castile’s office, in regards to the mistreatment of Shellby’s brothers by the Criminal Justice System, it has been verified there are legal grounds for a lawsuit. By profiting off the disease of alcoholism, refusing treatment violated their Civil Rights. These latest actions of the Hummelstown police prove this.

Sincerely,

Lisa Landis

To whom it may concern,

This letter is written in regards to my sons. They have been repeat offenders, violating probation due to their fatal disease of Alcoholism.  Recognized by the American Medical Association as a fatal illness, we question why we keep treating alcoholics as criminals?  Is it just to profit the criminal justice system or is rehabilitation the goal?

If you want to make a difference in the recidivism rate, the breakdown in the family unit, and lower the prison numbers then treatment needs to be an option.  Education regarding the disease is needed before diagnosis can occur.  With 75-80% of people incarcerated under the influence of alcohol or drugs at the time of arrest, we can no longer ignore this issue.

The criminal justice system has contributed to the destruction of my family.  I am a survivor of 18 years of domestic violence.  There was no one or shelter to take children and animals in.  After trying and starting over, In February 1995, I had enough abuse; the boys were involved in an accident with their father when he was drunk.  I made him leave and his father evicted his grandchildren and me three days later.  Then, I lost everything, business, house, animals, children, and my mind to the insanity of alcoholism.

My children have survived much trauma.  Their father received three months probation when he demolished my car we were sitting in, with an axe.  He would pay no support causing us to lose our place of residences.  No shelter would take us in because we had animals.  I received a fine when my horse was eating grass in the neighbor’s yard and my father in law gets no punishment for having 21 sticks of dynamite lying around.  The boys thought they were flares and were trying to light them.  I could go on with many more horror stories of abuse suffered at the hands of their father.  No woman or child should ever suffer as we did.  Now to see the pattern continue with my children, enough is enough.

The police who slapped their father on the hands for his wrong doings became the magistrates that set exceedingly high bonds, violating their 8^th Amendment rights.  The probation officers who continually stated their intent on prison and not treatment as I repeatedly requested.  Treatment that makes a difference, they have a chemical imbalance of the brain that needs to be addressed on top of PTSD.

There should be a Law enacted that No elected officials should have stock in alcohol, pharmaceutical, or the private prisons.  These industries only capitalize on the disease and decay in Society.  With the money spent on repeat offenders what ultimate cost to Society if people were educated to be productive members?  

Thank you for researching their records.

Research backs up claims of medical marijuana's benefits

By PETER HECHT | McClatchy Newspapers

SACRAMENTO, Calif. — University of California medical researchers slipped an ingredient in chili peppers beneath the skin of marijuana smokers to see if pot could relieve acute pain. It could - at certain doses.
They monitored patients with AIDS and HIV as they toked on joints or placebos to determine whether marijuana could quell agonizing pain from nerve damage. It provided relief.
They tested a "Volcano Vaporizer" to see whether inhaling smokeless pot delivered healthier, low-tar cannabis. It did.
Over a dozen years, California's historic experiment in medical marijuana research brought new science to the debate on marijuana's place in medicine. State-funded studies - costing $8.7 million - found pot may offer broad benefits for pain from nerve damage from injuries, HIV, strokes and other conditions.

Please Support GLoLady

Nuked at The Three Mile Island Nuclear Accident in March 1979, nine months later an idea was born. I am called GLoLady, a woman who radiates light, because I invented glow in the dark clothing. Glow Butts the original glow in the dark underwear and Glo For It! Originals. Introduced, produced, and designed clothing for fashion shows in two of the top Nights clubs in the World. (The promoter at the Limelight in Manhattan screwed up my fashion show and was convicted for killing his drug dealer) I invented glow in the dark safety products contacted the World Trade Center regarding a glow in the dark escape route system. It was not mine that was installed but one that is now part of Local Law 26 in New York City. Business accolades then personal challenges destroyed the business, home, family, my mind. The light went out on my dreams and all that I lived, loved, and worked for. That was in 1995.

In 1997, I participated in a 900 mile Veterans March from Melborne, FL to Washington DC. Educating the public on Health concerns and POW/ MIA Prisoner of War/ Missing In Action. That was a life changing eye opening experience in my life. I found out that Service is Good for the Soul. That I had Constitutional rights and if I did not hold my Government accountable, who would? In 1999 SR 755 Missing Service Personnel bill passed trying to protect future generations from being left behind unaccounted for.

On February 1, 1999, I found out that I had the fatal disease of alcoholism and have been in recovery from a seemingly hopeless state of mind. A disease that ravaged my family and the effects continue in the generations that follow. Now the understanding of why spirits is on the label of your alcohol. The personality change that occurs as a result of too many spirits ingested into the human, for the psyche to handle. The Criminal Justice System profiting because of the Disease and Decay in Society. The Criminalizing of Cannabis and Industrial Hemp in the War on drugs that created drug cartels and the American Government supplies their arms. Enough is enough. Peace pipes bring Peace.

Starting a business over for the fifth time in 2003, I started a Photoluminescent Safety Egress Company. My supplier in New Zealand told me to bring in a competitor as a customer. Then told me to sit back and collect royalties. I did not agree with the decision. With a Notarized statement I walked away from Corporate Greed in March 2005. Six months later the man was arrested and is serving twenty years in prison.

Moving to the beautiful mountains in Western North Carolina in March of 2007, I tried to be normal and fit in. Started a produce stand with another girl in February of 2009 that I had to walk away from just when it started to turn a profit because of a violent criminal called Bubba, who cut off the heads of fish and buried them at our produce stand. The Judge laughed at me in court stated he knew this guy for many years; he threw out the violation of the restraining order. I did Not Feel Safe in the town after that.

In August 2007, I found out about URTV, Western North Carolina Community Media Center. It was a Public Access Station where anyone in the Community could use professional equipment to produce TV shows that aired on the local cable station. It was funded by PEG (Public Education Government) Revenues and a Video Sales Tax that is on your cable bills. The battle for a 1st Amendment platform was designed to fail from the beginning. The local Government could not control the Free speech until they denied the funding. The People’s Voice was Silenced in Asheville, NC on May 14, 2011. That was my job and the start of another business that was destroyed by another’s actions. Because of TV shows that exposed the corruption in local Government. Now our only public platform is three minutes in front of our County Commissioners who throw you out of a meeting if they do not like what you say. The Chairman proudly admitted he was taking away my 1st Amendment rights. They said go use Social media.

As a Citizen Journalist I video recorded an Occupy Asheville March on November 2, 2011. On November 5th, I was arrested along with eight others. Picked off the street and falsely imprisoned. Stating my innocence from the beginning it took seven months and five court appearances for a jury of twelve on appeal to find me Not Guilty of impeding traffic after ten minutes of deliberation. The officer testified there was no evidence of disorderly conduct or resisting police officers for the two charges out of three that were dropped. The prosecuting Assistant District Attorney even Lied during closing argument. What a blatant waste of tax payer’s money to Silence me.

After all the miles I have journeyed I have learned that it is not just my voice but many that are being silenced. The news we get in Mass media is spoon fed. The local media covered my case when I was found guilty by an ‘impartial” judge, but only one paper covered my acquittal. We the people need to communicate. That is what brings the Unity into our Community. The former producers still have people come up and ask us What Happened to URTV?

GLoLady is found on many websites though out the internet. I have been branding GLoLady since I bought the domain in 2000.  My youtube channel has been viewed in 146 Countries around the World. My TV shows and other art works are still being added and re added. We do not know what we do not know and sometimes what we are taught is not the truth. I Love Enlightening the Masses and would like to continue but, I need the equipment. My camera died after 10 years of faithful use. I need two lap tops with editing software, portable hard drive, 2 video cameras, 2 tripods, 8 XLR cables, 4 microphones, live feed fees, tapes, dvds, light package, switcher box to start with. That will get a multitude of people back communicating with their Community. The friends that I met at the studio have become my family today.

Ever since my run in with Bubba, I have been learning how homeless people live. I have learned enough. My car broke down 3 weeks after the TV studio closed so challenging is to say the least. Especially in a town that likes to slash tents, take you to jail if caught sleeping in the City, and Numerous other adversaries. So, I plan to get a short bus to live and work out of. There are places that I need to go, People that I need to see and Laws that need to be changed. If I don’t speak up, Who Will?

Thank you for your consideration. I plan to use this platform as a way to Revolutionize the US economy. Please watch my video “How glolady became GLoLady” This is but a drop in a sea of excitement. My life is never dull and boring. Stay tuned for the latest adventure of my personal soap.

Flying Signs

As I sit on the bench at a rest area on I-75 in Florida, reflecting on my past journeys, more than on the one that lies ahead.  Studying this new mode of transportation I first tried out of necessity, now attempting my seventh trip back and forth from Asheville, NC to Florida. I look to see my discoveries.

What I have learned on my travels is that people would rather ignore what they do not understand or is different in any way than them. Eye contact is quickly reverted more than not. Those who have or care for someone with a disability are friendlier, less fearing of other people. Their challenges opened them to see and touch more than others, those who are oblivious to what lies outside their bubble. Fearing the unknown they bounce merrily along in their box.

Happily I do not have to live in fear anymore. All fears have been taken, the rest gladly given. The fear of losing possessions is nothing compared to the feeling of losing your children, your family, and your friends. The goal of material wealth holds nothing over love of family and friends. It is lonely at the top only if you step on others to get there. Treating others how we want to be treated has just rewards.

First ride out today, interesting ride, and nice guy. Drinking and lifestyle has him looking older than he really is. What was really different was the proposition. He wanted women to pay him for pleasure. I suggested putting an ad on the web. Money for his time, sex for free.

The other men were more subtitle. They did not offer money but made it known the offer of their services was available for free. The sexual services available at the truck stops are some of the cheapest rates around. The suppliers are usually drug addicted who practically give it away for their next high. The diseases that are transported across the Country are scary. The unsuspecting women back home who do not know of the temptations at every stop. I respect the men who honor their women by abstaining from anothers touch.

I appreciate all my rides for not expecting anything more than good conversation from me. Most that have picked me up have been alone. White or black the balance was the same. Fear of being seen with another woman kept a lot of men from picking me up. Those who had girlfriends did not disclose to them their good deed of giving someone in need a ride along their way. Seems just being seen together is an admission of guilt. The few women who gave me a ride had different reasons. While most were from the kindness in their hearts, one did it to feel superior to someone seen as lesser than she. Nice in her own rights, just still suffering from a childhood tainted by the disease of alcoholism and the abuse it brings to the family complex, continuing to afflict the generations to come.

Only a few rides had more than one person in the vehicle. Riding in between two men has to be done in faith. To put fear in the equation makes for an unpleasant ride. Any more than two men and the ride would have been turned down. Same as a few who had offered a ride and were refused, safe arrival at the destination is the goal.

Speaking of serving and protecting, the police have been cool for the most part. It is still our first Amendment right to stand holding a sign. I do not stick out my thumb. I stand or sit until someone stops to talk to me. Sometimes that took hours. Like the first time out I was waiting for two hours until my first hit, pun intended. There were a few police cars that had passed me, nodding to each other as they drove by. Then a man pulled over and asked where I was going then if I wanted to go have some fun? Not even for money? After a compliment to me, he drove off too quickly for me to see if that was a Fraternal Order of Police emblem on his license plate. The location he wanted to take me was in the same direction as the County jail. Across the street was another cop passing by. No, I am not walking the streets. This is the only way I can afford to protect myself from a corrupt Government.

After being stranded at an entrance ramp for seventeen hours, again, a single black man picked me up.  He was only going a couple exits, but enjoyed the conversation about the corruption in Asheville, NC so much that he drove me an extra thirty miles. It was the conversation with his Mother that started me wondering. He gave me his number for the next time I was stuck in the area. After exchanging numbers, he called to inform me if I ever needed anything, beer, bud, a place to stay, just call. Thanks for the offer; I am working on the decriminalization of cannabis and hemp.  I Co-Produced a TV show on medical cannabis and industrial hemp. Another reason Buncombe County Commissioner’s wanted to stop the people’s voice. Too much truth was being told.

Bringing me back to why I started this new way of travel. To stay alive until I could prove my innocence in court, continuing to search for good people in this World. Thankful for every ride I’ve had, that got me to where I am today, waiting for the next ride to freedom.

Some of my findings; it is better to catch rides from rest areas than standing along side the road. I still have not stuck out my thumb. Certain signs work better than others. The destination on my sign got me there. Surprisingly God Bless or Goddess Bless did not get me a ride. My favorite was “Ride Please I am a Good Person” Yes, I met a few more good people too!

Citizen Journalist Targeted and Arrested

Reverend Lisa Landis, citizen journalist in Asheville, NC was targeted and arrested for covering a local story. The Occupy Asheville march was on November 2, 2011, in solidarity with Oakland, CA. Arrested three days after the event on November 5, 2012 and charged with three offenses, resisting public officers, disorderly conduct, and standing on the highway impeding traffic.  

After three court appearances despite her clear role as a citizen journalist, Lisa Landis was found guilty and sentenced to time served. Landis immediately indicated her intent to appeal the sentence, telling the judge, “I was targeted and forcefully arrested because I continue to speak about the corruption of District Attorney Ron Moore…I will not stop until Ron Moore is arrested.”

Rev Landis is the former Producer of GLoLady TV at URTV, Western North Carolina Community Media Center in Asheville, NC. The Buncombe County Commissioners denied the funding needed to keep public access available to the local community. One of the reasons for the denial of funds is to continue the cover up of corruption in the local government. Co-Producer of “What’s Really Going On In Western North Carolina” that focused on this corruption was also exposed by Forbes. Local media has limited coverage of this travesty and doubtful they will cover the trial on June 4, 2012 at the Buncombe County Court House room 5 at 10am. With Ron Moore as the prosecuting District Attorney how can Rev Landis get an honest trial with someone who Targeted her?

Please help call International Attention to this cause. The logic that convicted her would convict any journalist documenting the scene of virtually any demonstration. If DA Ron Moore does have the alleged connection with the Mexican drug Cartel the why is he still in office? Why will the independent audit of the evidence room not be released? This is one story that is ready to blow sky high.

FREE ROBERT GREEN - David Icke Website

Breaking news ... Robert Green, one of the most decent people you could ever wish to meet, has been jailed for 12 months as a consequence of his campaign to secure justice for Hollie Greig and a proper investigation (the first) into her claims to have been sexually and violently abused by members of the Scottish establishment.

He has been jailed for a breach of the peace - handing out leaflets. Robert was not convicted by a jury, but by a single judge called Bowen who also delivered the sentence.

We must not let this drop and allow Robert to be forgotten. A terrible injustice has been done here. Robert has apparently asked that people contact this Member of Parliament at david.mowat.mp@parliament.uk

APD Chief: department takes employee's Facebook comments on Occupy Asheville "very seriously" | Mountain Xpress | Asheville, NC

Silenced by local government | Mountain Xpress | Asheville, NC

We The People Want To Speak!


Silenced by local government | Mountain Xpress | Asheville, NC

If our government is of the people, for the people and by the people, then why is our government taking from the people? Why is our government constantly trying to stop the people from gathering and sharing information? What does our government wish to cover up? Why was the information that exposed the corruption in our local government silenced?

Who is responsible for arresting innocent people in their overzealous attempt to discredit, undermine and punish? Occupy Asheville wants to educate the public concerning corruption, misuse of power and financial culpability, among other important things for survival in these economic times.

The government TV stations are supported by twice the funds allotted for the people's public access. With Asheville and Buncombe County receiving almost $3 million in video sales tax and Public, Education and Government revenues in 2011, how can we honestly say there was no funding for the people? Buncombe County reported an excess of $300,000 in the General Fund. This is money that should have been honored by contract for public access. This attempt to "charge" for free speech is another attempt by local officials to silence the people.

In our public-access station at Western North Carolina Community Media Center, we the public had a place to assemble in order to communicate with the rest of our community. There were people who had jobs and were starting small businesses at URTV. Let's finally get the truth out. URTV was not mismanaged; seven audits in five years proved that.

We the people want to gather and communicate with each other. If our government does not listen to the people speak then they need to resign the position they were elected to fill. (See some of my videos from Occupy Asheville protests at http://avl.mx/prp0 and http://avl.mx/prp1).

— Lisa Landis
Arden
Editor’s note: Xpress could not verify the specific funding figures that Landis cites in her letter. County Manager Wanda Greene told Xpress via email that the “numbers are inaccurate,” although supporters of URTV, a program of the disbanded WNCCMC, continue to dispute such claims. For more about the issue, visit http://avl.mx/9l.

Imagine... the figures not correct? Well then what figures were sent to me by the County and City, because those are the figures I quoted. Is this another ploy to keep the truth from coming out?

Ask the County and City for the itemized budget of their Government channels for the last 4 years. Ask to see how much money was received in video sales tax and PEG revenues. Look on your cable bill to see what you are charged and still do not have public access. Listen to the December 6, 2011 Buncombe County Commissioners meeting to hear the excess in the General Fund: http://www.buncombecounty.org/Governing/Commissioners/meetings.asp.

As with the Occupy movement, local Government does not wish to honor our 1st Amendment rights. They try to discredit and deny the real issues any chance they get.

I was targeted and arrested for participating in a march on November 2, 2011, that their video evidence will prove my innocence. My voice is questioning the officer about the legalities. My video of the march uploaded on youtube the day before my arrest on Nov 5, 2011, has the tittle Occupy Asheville march with police escort. I was acting as media, same as the cameraman for WLOS. My arrest was meant to discredit, undermine, and intimidate. I had just received an application to volunteer at the jail as a Reverend and for AA meetings. I did Not want to do Anything to be arrested for. This Is A Waste Of Tax Payers Money!!!

My goal is Justice for All.... Not just for a select few of the richest who continue to suppress the people for their own greed.


This is one of the TV shows they wanted to silence because it revealed too much corruption in our local Government: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pt-aCsxnD_E&feature=colike.

If we do not hold them accountable, they will continue to oppress the people. Ignorance is easier to control, because knowledge is power.

Stand up for your rights, Before they are gone!

This is a video clip of my actions at the march on November 2, 2011.

I Was Targeted To Silence My Voice. The charges filed against me are bogus. This is a deliberate attempt to discredit, undermine, and intimidate. These charges will be used as figures that Occupy Asheville cost the tax payers.

We The People Want To Communicate with the rest of our Community. That is what brings the Unity. To Deny Communication Is A Violation Of Our 1ST AMENDMENT RIGHT.... Who Is Responsible For This In-Justice? When will you be next?

Taking away the people's 1st Amendment rights is like telling our kids to play in the streets... what are we fighting for if not for our rights and freedom?

Go Back through all the Mountain X articles and forums regarding URTV and let the facts speak for themselves. View the Buncombe County Commissioners meetings and compare quotes in the local media. http://www.buncombecounty.org/Governing/Commissioners/meetings.asp#archived

I think the people should be educated on the facts not slander and libel fiction.

Greed is forefront of much corruption. Why is the Mountain X not investigating and reporting on the corruption that is presented at County meetings?

URTV was the best public access station in the State and a model for the Nation in public access potential. The organization and the people should have been commended on the accomplishments. Not distracted by slander, libel, court, 7 audits in 5 years to consistently prove the organization was properly managed and flourishing.

As soon as a reliable attorney steps up to the plate the Law suit will be filled. Until then the evidence piles up.

Let facts speak for themselves. Sometimes, Truth is Brutal. Fair is fair.

Fatal Diagnosis

There needs to be a Law enacted that will properly give human rights to people suffering with the fatal disease of alcoholism and addiction.



Most people who are arrested are then required to pay for a drug and alcohol evaluation. These are questions to what educational test? People need to be educated so they understand the illness before there can be a diagnosis.



Too many afflicted persons are incarcerated as bad people, who at the time of arrest were possessed by spirits, ingested through consumption of alcohol and drugs. Had they been in a sober state of mind they would never have committed such acts.



We need to question the reason for our jails and prisons. Are they meant to rehabilitate those convicted to become productive members of Society or are they just numbers for financial gain? Do the owners of these private Institutions also have a financial interest in the alcohol or pharmaceutical industry?



Too many people have been discriminated against because they are afflicted with a fatal illness. This issue needs to be addressed if we want a solution to this problem that destroys the family and its community. The disease passing from one generation to the next manifesting undetected. We do not know what we do not know until we are taught.



If the family is to stop this insidious disease then education is a must. Intensive treatment should be given for alcohol and drug related offenses. These are medically “sick” people. Not the “bad” people convicted and housed in Private Criminal Institutions for financial gain. If therapy were implemented comparable to the insanity of the person at the time of the offense, a suitable counseling could help a family recover from the ravages of this fatal illness. Thereby alleviating the repeating and escalating violent acts committed when diagnosis goes undetected passed down through the generations.

We have to consider the fact that the stock holders are housing those they entice with their other stock holdings. They profit off the disease and decay in Society.

Hitler and King James

When we look at the atrocities of the Hitler Regime, we can see what fear and hatemongering has done. When one person states who is good and evil, what power do we give them for the destruction of human lives for material greed? How many people have been tortured, raped, and killed because of religious conviction? What Religions have built their ranks at the tip of the sword?

The Berwick Witch trials in Scotland are stated to be only second to Germany in the barbarity and numbers killed. Ask a Jew if Hitler rewrote the Bible if they would still consider it Holy.

King James of the Bible translation fame was instrumental in the Berwick Witch trials. When he published “Daemonologie” he felt that he was doing God’s work, damning with lies of Devil worship when Witches do not even believe in the devil. What would prompt such visceral fear and horrific recriminations towards individuals believed capable of premonitions and prophetic visions? Their land and possessions were taken as payment for these criminal trials. ”Second Sight” knowing things beyond the reach of the physical senses before they happened was considered damning to the accused. If you had information or foreknowledge of horrific disasters before they occurred would you want to know and would you tell?

Ask the Indians, Africans, and Aborigines, the cost of White mans greed in their lives. Those who respect all plants, animals, and human beings, understanding these are a part of the whole Universe. Why do we continue to damn those who do not think, act, and do as “proper” moral standards dictate.

Jesus said that we could do what he did and more if only we believed. If he could walk on water then why can we not walk on fire? He said to love others as ourselves. Do we only quote what we believe or do we truly live and practice what we preach? Those without sin cast the first stone.

Would you like someone to explain these Earth changes the World is experiencing, now that we know Global warming is a farce? Will you believe scientifically or spiritually based facts? When we believe authority as truth and not truth as authority we lose the full potential of a Nation.

All Spiritual texts are prophetic. Predictions of premonitions are dependent upon the information at the time of the interpretation. That means we have a chance to change the future.

Wicca is now recognized as a religion by our U.S. Constitution, protected by the First Amendment. Is it not time that we learn what they can teach us? In perfect love and perfect trust they believe. Mother Earth is sending out smoke signals. Who can correctly interpret them? The wise men and women who know follow stars.

Merry Happy and Baa hum bug

Merry Happy and Baa hum bug.

In wonder and amazement we follow the stars, sailing through the Heavens above. Leading us to a new birth, a Christ like consciousness, understanding the meaning of hope. To live as a beacon of light and love to all people, teaching the lessons of living as a Spiritual being following Good Orderly Direction. Living, loving, laughing and healing people, living as you preach.

Materialistic symbols of love in the possessions of people, places, and things. Impress or repress by profit or gain. What is the meaning behind the gift we give once a year? To clear the conscious of remorse, regret, and pain. The gifts from the hearts delight, to inspire and congratulate with love. The best of all come and go with no strings attached.

Our loss, the withdrawal in distance from our families numbs us. Painful childhood memories follow through unless broken. The toys, with thoughts of our hopes, and dreams, are they shattered or do we still have faith?

Seeing the glimmer of a bright star signals a new birth having faith of a better life with Good will and Peace on Earth. Wishing to all a Blessed Season The wish for you what you wish for thee. Can we all live happy, joyous, and free?

Criminal Greed

The Criminal Justice System is the profit of the War on Drugs. Bigger jails and prisons to house the growing numbers the Court system has deemed as bad people. These human beings are afflicted by a deadly addiction or a disease. Why do we not address these issues instead of making career criminals of them? Is it the profit in the disease and decay in Society that Corporate thrives upon? These are sick people and should have been addressed as such.

With the money spent to house an inmate that usually becomes a repeat offender if drugs and alcohol are a factor. Why not put these people in a treatment program and build them up as a valuable member of Society instead of adding to their lack of self esteem and damnation. If they were to be healed after a time or two in treatment is that not a substantial savings in the need for Criminal prosecution of such?

The judges who see these people repeatedly should be held accountable for the repeat offence as much as the person who stands in front of them. Where does the problem lie or does anyone care? If we keep breeding a cesspool of sickness then it will continue to multiply through out the Nations. Do we want a solution or will we allow the profit of the disease and decay in Society by a limited few?

Where is marijuana a criminal offense?

To solve a problem one must go to the root of it. Why is a once prescribed herbal remedy now a criminal drug charge punishable by law, when it could be used as a solution to several problems?


Why is it a criminal offense when the adverse effects are nil in comparison to alcohol? If we are going to criminalize a substance then alcohol should be on the top of the list, followed by cigarettes in regards to bodily damage by a controlled substance.


If we were to look at the real reason that marijuana is criminalized, we would find that it is profit motivated. We would immediately decrease the need for lawyers and judges in the Criminal Justice System. How many people tie up the courts with possession and paraphernalia charges not linked to any other criminal charge? How much is spent in the enforcement that could be averted to more pressing matters?


The benefits and byproducts of marijuana far out weigh any negative effects of its use. The documented medical proof is obviously going against the FDA’s requirement that only a drug could cure a disease. How many Big Pharmaceutical sales would be lost by the public using natural herbal cures? How many suicide side effects of these drugs could have been averted using a natural remedy and not a synthetic with known side effects of such?


Not to mention the many Corporate Industries that would have cheaper alternative to their products. Food, rope, clothing, paper, oil, and renewable fuel source just to name a few.


When we have all the facts, we have to question; where is marijuana a criminal offense?


Personality changes and blackouts on alcohol have killed more people in a year than murders committed under the influence of marijuana. Yet alcohol is acceptable and encouraged as a pastime.


The majority of arrests are under the influence of alcohol. The number of repeat arrests and probation violation are also alcohol related. Are we trying to solve a problem or is the profit in the disease?
