This
is a Special Report from RNJ
News, in which we present the
latest report from Spacebusters.
Like previous reports of theirs
we've used, this one is
straightforward, top down
honest, and frightening as hell.
And don't let the funky title
fool you, because this is an
hour and a half that is chocked
full of exactly what you need to
know about the whole
scamdemic/plandemic right now,
up close and personal. More and
more people are waking up to
this horror everyday, and there
isn't any better way we know of
to get yourself informed and up
to speed than with this latest
Spacebusters report. If you're
just awake now, then you must
have all kinds of questions
looking for answers, and this is
where you'll find them. And, if
you really want to understand
all of this, here's you're
chance. But be forewarned and
know this going in: you're not
going to like it.
Brian
and Sally host this RNJ News
Special. Join them for Nano-Man
and you'll never look at
any of this in the same way
again. |

Ayn
Rand and the Prophecy of Atlas
Shrugged is a 2011 documentary
done by Chris Mortensen. It
purports to be an objective,
even critical view of the mid
20th century Russo-American
authoress, Ayn Rand, and remains
true to this vision, for the
most part, throughout the first
half. Eventually, it descends to
a climax that is, essentially,
an infomercial for the Ayn Rand
Institute. But prior to this,
there is a lot of interesting
ground covered, and one is able
to piece together a portrait of
Ms. Rand that is not altogether
flattering. The law of caveat
emptor applies, but, once
applied, one finds that there is
a dark shadow to the "real" Ayn
Rand that shows unmistakably
through the whitewash. As you
have surely realized by now,
this is yet another excursion
into what Brian and Sally call
"Theater of the Mind." In this
theater, do pay attention to the
woman behind the curtain! Would
the "Mystery Guest" enter and
sign in please? Why is Bennett
Cerf recusing himself on What's
My Line? Ah, the "Big
Apple" in the '50's - now that
was theater! If a poor
little Russian girl can make it
there, she can make it anywhere!
And Hollywood, too! It was
poppycock then and it still is.
And somebody needs to call her
out on it, and it might as well
be us.

If
you've guessed that this must be
one of those "Theater of the
Mind" presentations that Brian
and Sally have become famous for
then you'd be correct, for so it
is! And just when you thought it
couldn't get any more arcane
than Randall Carlson, we've gone
and pulled none other than
Nikola Tesla from our proverbial
magician's hat. Of the many
biographies of Tesla that are
out there, this one seemed to be
the most true to the man
himself, who has a tendency to
get lost in the greater
construct of his work. In fact,
there are those who are claiming
the man himself is a construct
and that there never was a
Tesla. That's the kind of
cynical respect reserved for the
likes of Buddha and Jesus, both
of whom Tesla admired greatly.
And all the more reason to
concentrate on Tesla the man; an
individual no more deeply flawed
than any of us, given the kind
of scrutiny his life received.
Much about him is tragic, almost
pathetic, but the triumph of
Tesla is in knowing with him
that dying penniless is still a
much better fate than selling
your soul to robber barons like
Westinghouse or Morgan. Or
Edison, for that matter. |

Tonight
we continue where we left off
last night, as Randall Carlson
concludes his lecture on
Hidden Sacred Numbers, Ancient
Knowledge of Space, Time and
Cosmic Patterns. While Randall
Carlson would be the first to
point out that our knowledge
of the far ancient past is
woefully inadequate, he would
also, I am sure, agree that
what passes for the "official
story" of what history on the
earth is all about is not only
woefully inadequate, but a
pack of outright lies. For
what purpose? Anyone who
absorbs and processes this
information must come to the
same conclusion; that there is
a higher order of life in our
universe that is so far
superior to humanity that we
are only now able to
comprehend it; to prove its
existence in our midst and
beyond; to quite literally,
"do the math" the way the
ancients did. And just as
humanity sinks irretrievably
into the ultimate depravity,
we find out the Biblical
worldview was the correct one
after all, and the 'Cosmic
Patterns' spell out looming
destruction, just like they
always have. The lies you've
been told about it are
breaking down, and it proceeds
from here to men's hearts
failing them for fear. All
Randall Carlson is saying is
that yes, indeed, that time is
coming. And it will be
arriving right on schedule.

Understanding
that our perspective is skewed
towards the arcane and
esoteric here at RNJ does not
alter the fact that this has
to be the most awesome After
Skool special ever
produced! Join Chaplain Phil
for the next two nights as we
explore the fascinating world
of ancient mathematics and
geometry with Randall Carlson.
If that sounds too "geekish,"
give it a try anyway. You
might just be surprised at how
uncomplicated Randall Carlson
can make this complicated
subject. Of course, After
Skool is all about the
nifty artwork and animation
they do, but Carlson's lecture
also makes for good stand
alone radio. You'll see. Or
hear, rather. Check out the
video at the links above then
listen to the program and
you'll be amazed at how it all
comes together. It isn't
called "Theater of the Mind"
without good reason. And,
regardless of medium, Chaplain
Phil's point should be well
taken: God is working His
purpose out, and, when you run
the numbers, it all adds up to
precisely that. |

Perhaps
the one revolution that is the
most overlooked is the one
that took place within the
sciences at the dawn of the
20th century. It was at this
heady time, with the promise
of the technocratic society of
the future just upon the
horizon, that humankind's
basic understanding of itself
was undergoing the same
quantum change that had taken
place within what had become
the rather esoteric study of
physics. And while it was this
change in our basic
understanding of what reality
is and how it works that
brought about the
technological revolution we
are still experiencing, it
also brought conflict of a
different kind, as such highly
romanticized pseudo-sciences
as Darwinism didn't actually
shift very well into the new
paradigm. "So what?" you ask.
Just this: if you are
wondering what the scientific
and historical impetus was for
a "Breakaway Civilization,"
here you have it! Once the
Nazi scientists grasped what
Einstein was getting at, all
kinds of new horrors became
possible and the postmodern
world was born in secret.
Things are not what they
appear, and for those who can
still think a little, quantum
physics is one of the keys
that unlocks the hatch to the
rabbit hole. Just some
food for thought as you listen
to this presentation on
"String Theory and the End of
Space Time," with Dutch
physicist Robbert Dijkgraaf.

Darcy
Weir and Lee Lustig have
updated and re-released their
dynamite documentary on Phil
Schneider, and so we present
it here for you in it's
entirety tonight. It is
amazing how many strange and
anomalous phenomena seem to
come together in the person of
Phil Schneider. From his
"Operation Paperclip" father's
association with Valiant Thor,
to Al Bielek and the
Philadelphia Experiment, to
Deep Underground Military
Bases and the alien agenda,
you name any dark government
project and it seems Phil
Schneider could spin you a
fantastic yarn about his
involvement with it. And
unlike so many others,
Schneider had the
documentation and the physical
proofs most whistle blowers
are lacking. In retrospect, it
really doesn't seem so
shocking that he was suicided,
as this was during the reign
of the Clintonistas,
when "Arkancide" had already
risen to the art form we know
it to be today. Self
strangulation with a catheter
hose does seem highly
improbable, not to mention a
little crude. But then again,
those graphic images really do
send the message intended to
anyone in Black Ops thinking
to pick up a few bucks
speaking at the next
Preparedness Expo.

Here's
a topic we've been wanting to
cover for awhile, but we could
never come up with that one
report that really introduced
this esoteric and rather
complicated subject in the way
that it deserved. Until now.
Join Chaplain Phil as he
listens in to this fascinating
episode of the SGT Report, in
which Sean entertains David
Weiss and Campbell from the Autodidactic
Youtube channel. It's a far
ranging conversation tackling
this rather bizarre claim that
there is a hidden history
under our feet that includes
the Empire of Tartaria, which
exceeded that of Mongolia
(supposedly), "mud floods"
that buried an entire
civilization that ours was
subsequently built on top of,
and "starforts," fabulous
ancient structures that
appear as a starburst and are
visible as such only from high
altitude. Chaplain Phil
says it's like we've suddenly
come to find ourselves living
on the wrong planet. So
what is going on? Is it
our hidden history or that of
someone else? Are the sands of
reality shifting, or are they
being swept away in a sea of
mud? And what about the
"Orphan Trains?"

Chaplain
Phil is back, and he's brought
our good friend, and
everybody's favorite "Rad
Trad" Catholic, Mr. Michael
Matt! Don't like what you see
going down in the Church and
the world? Well neither
does he, and he isn't shy to
tell you about it. He flat out
equates the New World Order
with the Reign of Antichrist,
which is the Catholic name for
it now isn't it? Why have we
become so reticent about
calling evil out for what it
is, and how do we stand up to
a world that has turned
against us? The quick answer
is we don't! But that doesn't
mean we have to be quiet
little sheeple while being led
to the slaughter. In fact, it
is our duty, and our right
under God, to be vocal about
these things and point them
out for what they are, for if
not us, then who? The world is
about to go Old Testament
Biblical and the Day of the
Lord is at hand. And that red
light by the Tabernacle means
now what it always has: He's
here and He's ready. And
Chaplain Phil's point is, If
you're not willing to point
that out as a Catholic, then
at least get the hell out of
the way so someone like
Michael Matt can!

Join
Brian and Sally for this
exciting foray into "Theater
of the Mind" that
explores some of the many
mysteries surrounding the
sinking of the Titanic.
Or was it her nearly identical
twin sister ship, the Olympic?
Chances are if you were to
play this program in the pubs
and draught houses of Belfast,
where the Titanic
conspiracy is as fresh today
as it was in 1912, you might
pick up a few bob betting the
tourists that it's really the
Olympic down in Davy
Jones' Locker and not the Titanic.
That's how convincing the
evidence is. And all the more
reason for the crowds to shout
that J. Bruce Ismay should be
down there with her, had they
only known which one it
actually was. One of the great
classic conspiracy theories,
expertly presented here in
this RNJ radio adaptation of
the 2009 James Harrington
documentary, Evidence the
Titanic Was Sunk on Purpose.
Typical
Brit understatement.
I've got a quid and a pint
that says you're convinced by
the end.

If
you've tuned in to have your
mind put at ease about what's
going on in America and the
world, then you've tuned in to
the wrong program. However, if
you've tuned in to be
enlightened as to how bad it
is and what it all means, then
you're in the right place!
Join News Director Brian Helix
and that intrepid and plucky
girl reporter, the always
lovely and vivacious Sally Belle-Époque,
as they host none other than
the queen of alternative snark
herself, the one and only
Sheila Zilinsky! And that's
only the start of it! Because
who does Sheila have as her
special request guests but the
legend himself, Mr. Steve
Quayle, Mr. Health Ranger,
Mike Adams, and rounding out
this trifecta of prophets of
doom is Gary Heavin, Mr. Amerigeddon.
Their message is quite simple,
really. If the Chinese
biological warfare version of
Ebola and Hemorrhagic Fever
doesn't get you, just wait for
the kinetic part of World War
III to kick in. You pays your
inflated, fiat money and you
takes your no choice at all.
It's the Amerikan way!

While it
may or may not be so that we
will all starve in weeks, if
this is what post modern
farming is all about, then it
is pretty certain we will all
starve eventually - and sooner
is probably a better bet than
later. In this program, you
will hear Yanasa TV interview
Shay Myers of "Shay Farm Kid"
fame. That's right. Farmers
nowadays are on social media;
Tik-Tok and all that. "Who
does the work?" you ask.
Laborers imported from Mexico
who make much more as farm
laborers in America than
surgeons do in Mexico City. In
fact, this work has become so
lucrative it's tempting to do
a little moonlighting from the
radio business. But we must be
careful how we address
co-workers. I suggest
"Doctor." That way, one
doesn't run the risk of being
told by the man in the straw
hat and overalls in the next
row that he didn't spend eight
years in medical school to be
called "mister" when he picks
asparagus. Farming is just
like everything else in rural
America, I guess. Once the
city folk move in, they spoil
it for everyone.

Journalist,
academic and long time Kennedy
admirer Edward Curtin joins
RFK Jr. for this enlightening
conversation that ranges from
the JFK assassination to Noam
Chomsky. A lot of
conservatives have come to
admire Bobby Kennedy Jr. for
his bold stand against the
vaccination oligarchy, and
rightfully so. But one should
never fail to overlook the
fact that, going all the way
back to those heady days of
Camelot, the Kennedys have had
a rather curious, and often
disturbing, relationship with
those on the far left. The
myth of a kinder, gentler
Marxism that embraces the
needs of the poor in the quest
for equality for all still
persists among those on the
left, especially the well
meaning intellectuals snowed
by the likes of Chomsky and
Saul Alinsky, both of whom
eschewed the Kennedys by the
way. And don't believe the
nonsense about the CIA
inventing Joe's reputation as
a rum runner. He earned that
all by himself. The "Sins of
the Grandfather" weren't
totally fabricated down at
Langely, and old Joe's version
of history apparently
continues as the gospel of the
clan. The lads on the docks
moving the hooch knew it was
blarney then, and it still is
today.

Night
Shadows, with Stewart Best and
Larry W. Taylor, is a radio
experience that Chaplain Phil
likens to programs heard on
the Sonomatic AM in his trusty
'66 Buick Special, as he
cruised the lonely two lane
blacktops of Northern Michigan
late at night. And while
Stewart swears they're real,
Chaplain Phil never saw a Big
Foot. Of course, that doesn't
mean they weren't watching
him. Same goes for UFO's, at
least not that he remembers,
not that he would,
necessarily. Stewart and Larry
may sound like two good ol'
boys never meanin' no harm,
but don't let that fool you.
And if you're thinking Stewart
Best was the drummer the
Beatles had before Ringo,
you're incorrect. There were
two; Stuart Sutcliffe (the one
who died), and Peter Best (the
one who was fired). Stewart
Best is famous for Iron
Mountain - Blueprint for
Tyranny.
That's right. That
Stewart Best. And he's got
Larry Taylor riding shotgun.
So buckle up and keep your
eyes on the road. That's how
you don't see the eyes looking
at you from the woods. Or the
strange lights overhead. Just
ask Chaplain Phil.

So if
you've just listened to what
Dr. Robert Malone has to say,
and you're thinking, "This guy
is a nutcase!" well, then,
maybe you should get a second
opinion. And it is with that
thought in mind that we turn
our attention tonight to this
little conversation between
Dr. Michael Yeadon and Reiner
Fuellmich, the German lawyer
who has decided that if the
New World Order folk are going
to play the part of the Nazi's
(which they are doing very
convincingly), then he'll
resurrect the Nuremberg Court
drama - or something like it.
For sample testimony we need
listen no further than to this
talk by Dr. Yeadon. As
Chaplain Phil points out,
there have been those telling
us for a long time that we
really must do something about
all of this rising
tyranny. The message of
Dr. Michael Yeadon, Reiner
Fuellmich, and other brave
souls like them, and Dr.
Malone, is that if we don't do
it now, we never will.

Time for
a stop in the post-modern
world to check our traps and
see just what is going
on. And what better
place to check out all of the
vaccine nonsense and
controversy than with Dr.
Robert Malone? The very
inventor of the mRNA
technology that is in the
vaccines, and also the leading
voice crying out of the vast
wilderness of the unvaxxed to
cease and desist from
injecting this stuff into
people. One would think the
inventor of the technology
would carry no little
credence, but he carries no
weight at all among the
vaccine crazies crying for his
head on a post. Mass Formation
Psychosis explains it. It is
the result of being
multi-dimensionally
blue-pilled. Dr. Malone
holds out the
multi-dimensional red pill in
these two interview segments
(one from Joe Rogan, the other
from InfoWars). Let's see
who's brave enough to reach
for it! And how would we
ever communicate in the 21st

That's
right. That John
MacArthur. He seems like a
very nice man, really. Your
basic, believing mid 20th
century Protestant pastor; a
man who would cause nary a
ripple of controversy if it
was but 60 years ago. But,
alas, it is not. Therefore,
this rather grandfatherly
appearing old duffer finds
himself in all kinds of hot
water with the hand ringing
media and religious
establishment, due to his
audacious habit of calling out
sin for what it is. Just the
kind of teacher Chaplain Phil
is going to turn to provide
your edification here
concerning the Magi. And
that's no non sequitur,
because what the naysayers
tend to overlook is that John
MacArthur is also a sound
teacher of Scripture, and he
isn't afraid to call out sin
when he's doing that, either.
An interesting night ahead.
And one more spiritually
charged than the appearance of
a little white haired old man
in a business suit might
indicate. And, with John
MacArthur as our grand finale,
Magi Week comes to a close. Or
does it? Tune in next week to
see what new adventures lie
ahead!

Welcome
back for another in this
series of programs on the
Magi! Tonight we conclude
Chuck Missler's epic
presentation on the Christmas
Story, focusing more on the
subject itself and less on the
background needed to bring it
to life for post modern
audiences. As for our petty
griefs and struggles here at
RNJ, we have set them aside,
realized that which is truly
important in our relationships
with each other, and come to a
new understanding of the joys
and hopes inherent in the
person of the Christ Child. In
the end, it matters little on
what day Jesus was born into
the world. The important
day is that day on which He is
born into your heart.
That is where Christmas truly
takes place. And it is a
wise man indeed who knows the
One True Shepherd when he
encounters Him.

Magi
Week. All these years in the
making. I guess you can't
blame us here at RNJ if things
get a little tense this week.
It's just the creative process
and all that. Tonight and
tomorrow night, we have Chuck
Missler teaching more
generally about Christmas, so
you'll better see how the Magi
fit into the bigger picture.
And Chaplain Phil still claims
that Christ was born on
December 25, and the calendar
and the Church still say he's
right. And why does the
Church take so much flack over
the calendar when it was Pope
Gregory the Great that fixed
it? It was the Romans that had
made such a mess of things.
They did this with everything,
that little trial before
Pilate being as good an
example as any.
Regardless, Chaplain Phil is
right that studying Christmas
after Christmas is a capital
idea. And, after this
week, it really will be time
to pull the lights down and
drag the tree out to the
curb. Stay tuned.
Like Johnny used to say, "More
to Come." |

Magi
Week continues here on RNJ,
and tonight we feature a
doubleheader from Rick
Renner. First up is "Who
Were the Magi?" A fair
question to say the least and
one that Chaplain Phil chimes
in on as well. The Magi are no
where and everywhere -- you
know, that sort of thing. As
for the second offering, it's
"The Value of the Magi's
Gifts," in which we learn that
the value of said gifts was
outstanding, and Rick Renner
explains not only why that was
so, but why it is also
significant. Bottom line
is, it seems as though no one
disrespects the King of King,
and Lord of Lords, the way His
own do. And Chaplain
Phil is wont to point out the
significance of that as
well! |

It's
Magi Week here on RNJ! All the
proof you need that Chaplain
Phil has turned over a new
leaf with the turning over of
the calendar page to a new
year, and he has resolved to
produce all of the programs he
has been putting off for the
last few decades. For example,
this Magi project has been in
the works since the mid 90's.
That's when he did the
research for it. Wait long
enough and there will be other
intrepid scholars who do the
same leg work, make the same
discoveries, and Chaplain Phil
ends up being host for a week
while they present their work.
He may be crazy, and he may be
lazy, but you can't call him
stupid. Anyway, there is much
to learn about the Magi, and
it begins here tonight with
one such presentation by Andy
Reese. Stay tuned! A great
week lies ahead. You're about
to see that they don't call it
"Epiphany" for nothing!

Chaplain
Phil
Chaplain Phil grew up
listening to alternative points of
view, and the underground
perspective, that characterized
late night AM and shortwave radio
in the 1960's. In the cold
winter months following the events
that transpired in Dallas on
November 22, 1963, he came to
realize that the death of
President Kennedy represented an
even deeper and more profound
tragedy - the death of the nation.
In the summer of 1964, he read None
Dare Call It Treason by
John Stormer and understood how
this had come to pass. He
was 10 years old.
Through
the ensuing years, he has followed
the flow of free information, as
what we now call the "mainstream
media" banished independent
Christian broadcasting, and honest
political thought, from the AM band to shortwave, then
to the internet, and now, in the
face of internet censorship, back
to shortwave. After a
lifetime of listening, he now
feels the time has come to
speak. His message is
simple. We are living in a
godless false reality created for
the purpose of destroying most of
us and enslaving the rest.
The
time of Revelation is here. Take
heart. For what is being
revealed is the eternal truth of
Jesus Christ.

What
is Catholic Pirate
Radio?
|
|
Pirate
radio or a pirate
radio station is a
radio station that
broadcasts without a
valid license.
Catholic Pirate
Radio is broadcast
without the official
sanction or approval
of the Catholic
Church, any of its
connected agencies
or organizations, or
any member of its
hierarchical
structure (bishops,
cardinals, pope,
etc.).

Mother Angelica: Queen
of Catholic Pirate Radio
Mother Mary Angelica
founded the EWTN television
network, and, more
significantly for my purposes
here, WEWN, a global shortwave
broadcast service with
transmitters located in
Irondale, Alabama. In
the 1990's, Mother Angelica
became one of the most
dominant Christian voices on
the shortwave bands, and WEWN
a torch that beamed her
message of the truth of
believing and faithful
Catholicism across the nation
and the world. She was a
major influence concerning my
conversion to the Catholic
Faith in 2002, and it is
truthful to say that my
formation as a Catholic took
place with her over many
nights of listening to the
most powerful voice on 41
meters. She gets much
credit for her pioneering work
in Catholic television, while
her savvy for international
shortwave broadcasting goes
largely unheralded and is just
as significant. It made
her a worldwide voice for the
faith rather than just an
American phenomenon, and paved
the way for the globalization
of EWTN.
Mother Angelica
earned the title of Queen of
Catholic Pirate Radio when she
publicly took on and disputed
the apostate Archbishop of Los
Angeles, Roger
Cardinal Mahony,
concerning the Real Presence
of Jesus in the Holy
Eucharist. While Mahony
was unleashing his wrath upon
Mother all the way to Rome,
it should also be noted that
he retreated quickly and
issued a statement taking
offense at her for daring to
question his belief in the
Real Presence. Thanks to
Mother's widespread and
profound media influence, I'm
sure a lot of bishops, cut
from the same cloth as
Mahoney, also thought twice
about peddling the "Spirit of
Vatican II" nonsense in an
overt way that might end up on
TV.
Here's some vintage
Mother for you:
I’m so tired of you
liberal Church in America!
And everything you’ve ever
done has gone in silence.
Nothing, nothing you’ve done
– from your witchcraft to
your enneagrams to your
centering prayer to all
this ‘earth
spirituality’ to replacing
holy water with sand to
destroying our churches and
closing churches that are
viable and ready to go…no,
this is not an accident.
We’ve swallowed this now for
thirty years. I’m tired of
it. We have swallowed enough
of your idea of God! You
have, really, no God,
no dogma, no doctrine,
and no authority, because
the only authority in the
Catholic Church is
our Holy Father and the
Magisterium, and you have
disclaimed that. You don’t
believe in the Eucharist,
you don’t believe in the
Immaculate Conception, you
don’t believe in the Virgin
Birth, you don’t believe in
Mary’s power of
intercession, you don’t
believe in religious life,
you don’t believe in being a
spouse of Christ! You do believe in teaching
to little children in the
third grade sex education,
you do believe in forcing
centering prayer and forcing
inclusive language upon us,
and now you depict Jesus as
a woman?! You’re sick!
Nothing to add to
that. As a layman, my
duty as a Catholic is to point
out these things just as it
was Mother's duty as a
religious - a Carmelite
nun. She taught me
well. It's time for
Catholic Pirate Radio, the
next generation.
Father Charles
Coughlin: Father
of Pirate Radio
In
1926,
Father Charles Coughlin
first took to the airwaves
on WJR radio in Detroit to
denounce the Ku Klux Klan,
which had recently burned
crosses on the grounds of
his parish. Turning to
politics in 1929, Father
Coughlin quickly became a
dominant and highly
influential radio voice on
the CBS network, with a
weekly listening audience
estimated at 30,000,000
during the peak of his
popularity in the early
1930's. While at first
a fervent supporter of the
policies and person of
President Franklin D.
Roosevelt, his views became
more controversial and his
rhetoric more strident as
the Great Depression
lingered on. By 1936,
he was expressing a
viewpoint that was
anti-capitalist and
anti-socialist, and invoked
no little controversy by
expressing a certain
sympathy concerning the
fascism of Benito Mussolini
and Adolph Hitler. He
was accused of anti-Semitism
based upon this and his
searing critique of the
European Jewish banking
establishment, which he
sought to qualify as
follows:
My purpose is to
help eradicate from the
world its mania for
persecution, to help align
all good men, Catholic and
Protestant, Jew and Gentile,
Christian and non-Christian,
in a battle to stamp out the
ferocity, the barbarism and
the hate of this bloody era.
I want the good Jews with
me, and I'm called a Jew
baiter, an anti-Semite.
My point here is not
to speak out for or against
Father Coughlin and his
political opinions, but merely
to point to him as an early
example of the efforts to
censor and silence unpopular
viewpoints. He remains
the textbook example of church
and state teaming up to remove
from public influence someone
deemed too controversial to
have his views heard by the
great unwashed masses of the
general public. The
Roosevelt Administration
determined a priori
that the First Amendment did
not apply to radio
broadcasting, and new
regulations and restrictions
were created specifically to
remove Father Coughlin from
the airwaves. For the
first time, public
broadcasters had to obtain a
permit and seek approval to
speak on the air, and this was
the impetus for those who
refused to do so taking to the
airwaves in protest: the birth
of pirate radio. While
Father Coughlin was able to
circumvent his banishment from
network broadcasting by buying
airtime on local stations, his
reach and influence were
drastically reduced. In
1942 he was ordered to remove
himself from public life by
Bishop Edward Aloysius
Mooney. He complied
without complaint and spent
the remainder of his career as
parish priest at the Shrine of
the Little Flower in Royal
Oak, Michigan. He
retired from active ministry
in 1966.

| Welcome
to our broadcast facilities here at
RNJ. This is where Chaplain Phil and
our crew make the magic happen.
Stars of the Show are a Sweetwater Studio
Computer powering Jean and Ginger, two
1950 Canadian Philips Table Radios that
serve as broadcast monitors. That's Ginger
on the right channel, and Jean on the
left. Auxilliary Computer is "Old
Faithful," a 2009 Hewlett Packard (that's
like about a 1930 model in American Tube
Radio Years (ATRY). You'll also notice
three communication receivers, two 1959
Hallicrafters S-108's and a 1947 National
NC 57. Standby monitors include a 1937
Coronado 725 and 1953 Philco 53-960. It's
all sorted out through a Behringer Xenyx
802 Mixer. Our antenna array (not
shown) is an 80 foot sloping copper long
wire antenna, fastened to a Royal Palm and
running from there to the studio.
