Kevin Barrett's radio show on the Republic Broadcast Network has been cancelled. I don't know if this has been announced yet - I don't think it has - but he's already been removed from the list of shows on the RBN website.
He says it's because he refused to be anti-semitic on the air, in accordance with the founder's wishes. I dunno. How would he have been hired in the first place, then?

The End?
RD is planning to give up most of his 9/11 activism after the conference in September. He believes a group of more radical young guys are trying to take over the Civil Information-based group here in Edmonton and turn into their brand of Alex-Jones street evangelism and disruption. I don't know if that's actually what's happening or not, but there's certainly no denying that the radical element is on the rise these days. Alex Jones just made a film glorifying all the Truthers who get arrested, get into fistfights, and take over Wal-Mart intercoms (yep, the Calgary punk is featured in an Alex Jones film! And he was interviewed on Jones's show recently, as well)
RD has said many times that "now the Alex Jones cult that overshadows common sense rules the day and will ultimately destroy the good of the 9/11 truth movement in my opinion." And because of the nasty criticism and ridiculous comments he has received from his Civil Information "partner" Robin, the senile old fool in Calgary who thinks the Wal-Mart activism is a "crackerjack" idea.
RD has already resigned from the March on Ottawa, the CI blog, and as the 9/11 Truth.com grassroots contact for Edmonton. He plans to continue working with a small group of trusted friends in the city, but will shut down his website in September (after the conference).
I'm worried about this. Will he remain bitter and angry and obsessed with these betrayals and not get over it? Or will he, as I hope, move on to some new activity that also uses his skills, energy, and talents?

Calgary Blues
RD is in a VERY BAD mood today because he's been getting nothing but flak from near-strangers in Calgary. The Truthers down there think they're divine and are always offering "constructive criticism" to RD and other Edmonton Truthers. One semi-senile man keeps telling him "You made a big mistake calling Glenn Beck a such-and-such", but RD never called Glenn Beck a such-and-suck and has no freakin' clue what the old guy is talking about. You see the problem.
This is what RD wrote to one of the little Calgary punks who wants to "help" Edmonton:
"Hi [Calgary Truther]... I've changed my mind on involving you with our small group here in Edmonton. You stated nothing is happening in Edmonton and you were going to change that. I take offence to that statement and suggest you take your agenda back to [another Calgary Truther who likes to infiltrate Wal-Mart intercoms] and work with his group. Perhaps film your own Walmart activism hit piece, I hear [the senile guy] will give you a hundred bucks for that sort of activism..."
And here was the boy's response (I'm sure he's a boy, 'cause Calgary Truthers don't seem to be older than 19):
The reason why you have no one doing anything in edmonton with you is because of that attitude. you can't take a little criticism, even a two year old has more of a back bone then you do. Take offence all you want but i guess the truth hurts sometimes. Im here to inject some life and drive into edmonton 911 truth. And i am one of those people that will be there all the time. Its sad to see that just cause someone says your not doing enough you act childish and say you cant help out. This is the neocon attitude that we don't need in the truth movement. you remind me of some of the cops in truth rising, and that is really sad to see. So man i guess what im saying is you can't afford to take everything to heart. Do you give up just cause someone tells you your stupid and 911truth is bullshit. FUCK NO. If i let the thousands of people that have said that to me bring me down and not to grow from it, then i would have no place in this movement. a little food for thought.
He's got a point about one thing: RD needs to blog these fuckers' emails and ignore them entirely. Their nonsense isn't worth the aggravation.
