Well
what do you know? While
rummaging around through his
old memorabilia, Brian Helix
found a long lost flash
drive that contained this
gem: Andrew Carrington
Hitchcock's The
Synagogue of Satan,
that classic tale of the
intrigues of the House of
Rothschild, which in and of
itself explains why it takes
five nights to present it.
That's right. It's Brian's
show this week, as we
discover that the reason he
had the flash drive to begin
with is because he is also
the narrator of The
Synagogue of Satan.
This was before his time at
RNJ mind you, and how he
came to be in possession of
the flash drive is an
intriguing tale unto itself.
Brace yourself for a
harrowing ride through the
backstreets of London with
Andy Hitchcock at the wheel
of his trusty old 100-6, and
then hold tight for The
Synagogue of Satan, as
told by RNJ's trusty old
Brian Helix. He calls it a
Passion Play in five acts,
as the Rothschilds seem bent
on giving all the goyim
that follow Jesus the
same thing that He got.
After all, He didn't call
their predecessors the
"Synagogue of Satan" for
nothing. And the Rothschilds
didn't fall into the honor
of being called that by
accident either: they earned
it fairly and squarely. And
it would seem that there are
few things they can say that
about.

And
so it is tonight we conclude
Caroline Cory's Among Us,
as we hear of more
jaw-dropping encounters with
those who are not us. We
offer you no final
judgments, but we do offer
plenty of cautions, as we
see just exactly what
scripture means when it says
Satan poses as a being of
light. The name "Lucifer"
does mean "light bearer"
after all. Cunning and
deception are a way of death
for the Prince of Darkness,
and unicorns and fairy dust
can be just as deadly as
fire and brimstone when
enchanted by the Evil One's
unholy touch. You need look
no further than Disney to
see the evidence of how that
all works, and it has cost
us generations of young
souls now. Evil unchecked is
evil run rampant. That's the
world the Church conquered
once and has now handed
back. Our skies and our
nights are full of strange
encounters, for the veil is
rent and as sure as the
Curse of Pandora, there is
no turning back from what
this means and from the
things that are to come. In
the end, there are only two
paths, and it is he who
prevails upon the narrow one
leading to the Cross that
ultimately survives. And any
"being of light" who isn't
pointing you in that
direction is no being of
light at all.

Remember
that tall, thin, red-haired
girl who sat in the back of
class and never said
anything? Did you ever
wonder just what it was that
might be running through her
mind? Well, over the
next two nights, Caroline
Cory is going to convince
you that it just might have
been a lot weirder than you
ever imagined. Among Us
is Ms. Cory's landmark work.
It is her compilation of the
tales of other weirdos of
like mind, telling of their
encounters with non-human
intelligences. But wait! By
now we should be waking up
to the scary truth that
there are literally millions
of people like this, who
make these bizarre claims,
and who keep quiet about it
so as to escape the ridicule
of the millions who don't.
Makes you realize that who
the weirdos actually are is
only a matter of
perspective. The greater
point is that something that
is not us is messing with
us. And, while the Bible
says it's the devil, the
Jesuits prepare us for this
kind of "alien contact."
Catholic mystics have been
in touch with Jesus and Mary
and a host of non-human life
forms from heaven. The
history of the people of God
is rich in this sort of
thing going all the way back
to the LORD Himself walking
with Adam in Eden. Yet
today, more and more people
are finding themselves
immersed in this, the Great
Deception of the New Age,
while the Church denies her
own rich spiritual heritage
as well as God's. That's
what is going on, and the
Church knows it. But they
don't like to talk about
this sort of thing in public
anymore. It just might cause
a scandal among the
heathen. |

This
riveting documentary credits
the writing and directing to
"Gabriel," though it is
pretty clear early on that
it does not share the same
Catholic perspective as the
familiar archangel we all
know and love. Still, there
is much here that is very
perceptive, and, if there is
at least a small ray of hope
to be found, it is in the
fact that there are so many
individuals from so many
different and diverse
backgrounds who are waking
up to the deeper truths of
reality, first and foremost
among them that we are not
alone and never have been.
While that seems to be a
great revelation happening
among the post-moderns,
those who follow Jesus have
been so aware for as long as
they have been so following.
Perhaps the most amazing
thing is that the Biblical
worldview is coming more
sharply into focus all the
time as the ultimate "base
reality," yet those who
don't know Jesus don't seem
to have a clue as to what it
is that is really happening.
At least the take here is
that it isn't good, and
that's certainly a step in
the right direction from
"the Space Brothers are here
to help us."

Michael
Voris has long been a
lightning rod atop the more
traditionally minded
Catholic media, but while
his detractors are making
fun of his hair and such,
Church Militant just keeps
pumping out these dynamite
exposé reports on the
princes of the Church and
their less than princely
behavior. This latest
example in which senior
producer Christine Niles
shows herself once again to
be one of the most fearless
investigative journalists
around, concerns the former
all powerful Archbishop of
Washington DC, Donald
Cardinal Wuerl. Life among
the clergy was a gay, mad
whirl anywhere that the gay,
mad Wuerl served the
Catholic Church as an
Apostle of Christ. Yes, it's
disgusting and pathetic that
the Catholic Church has sunk
to this level, and perhaps
even more so that there are
so many out there who choose
to look the other way and
ignore this kind of outrage.
That's exactly how it got so
out of control, and that's
exactly why Michael Voris
and Church Militant insist
upon rubbing their noses -
and ours - in this excrement
that the Church continues to
hide rather than expunge.
Explicit content ahead. You
know the drill.

Chaplain
Phil is back and with him he
brings a perspective you're
bound to find interesting.
It is a presentation that
the Knights La Sallette have
on their youtube channel
concerning the history of
Communist efforts to
infiltrate the Catholic
Church and corrupt it. Said
corruption has progressed
apace under the tutelage of
Peronist dictator Jorge
Bergoglio, posing in the
guise of kindly old Pope
Francis. The interesting
perspective you find here is
that this presentation dates
from 2012, just before
Bergoglio became the first
Modernist/Marxist to sit
upon the Chair of Peter and
call Communists the "True
Christians." It really is
this obvious, and it was
just as obvious that this
was the way the Church was
heading when this talk was
given a decade ago. Indeed,
that's what the talk is all
about. Mind you, Ratzinger
was still pope then, the
Latin Mass had just been
restored, and the
Traditionalists were giddy
at the thought of a new
renaissance in which
restoring Catholic Order to
the world would be the new
quest for the Holy Grail.
But, alas, it wasn't meant
to be. And if you wonder why
the stale, dry, godless
Catholic Church of A
Canticle for Leibowitz
has such a haunting quality
to it, it is because you are
seeing it form right before
your very eyes!

And
so it is tonight our journey
through the long, dry, high
desert that is A
Canticle for Leibowitz concludes.
If Christ was coming He
would have been here before
now is the implied teaching
of the future Church, though
the name of Our Lord and
Savior has yet to be
mentioned. Makes you realize
that Walter M. Miller Jr.'s
Catholic formation back in
the 50's wasn't much better
than that of today, though
one can scarcely imagine
that. He gets the Church
part just fine, but the God
part is nowhere to be found,
and that's too bad because
God actually adds a lot
wherever He goes. Our world
gives Him a bad rap, but in
Miller Jr.'s imaginary
world, He's downright
non-existent. That's not a
criticism, mind you. Perhaps
he just anticipated the
future Church that Pope
Francis has set course for:
the Catholic Church of the
future that blasts off from
the ruins of Earth to seek
out Teilhard's "Cosmic
Christ" in person. Francis
would approve. I'll bet he
keeps a copy of A
Canticle for Leibowitz
on his nightstand, right
next to his
Machiavelli.

As
our story now rounds third
and heads for home, we
realize that the more things
change the more they end up
the same. Man's love affair
with high technology never
ends well it seems. Always
the jilted lover; always
seeking to be as the gods;
always falling back into the
very dust from which he was
created. Never is man more
capricious than when
following the urge for
better living through
alchemy, building his latest
Tower of Babel, or seeking
to journey to the stars to
spread his error and
cancerous sin to the cosmos.
I suppose, in the end, that
is reason enough why he must
always be stopped, and so
the game is rigged to self
destruct. Or rather man is.
Yet out of this ugly parade
are sorted those souls which
belong to God, while those
lacking this affiliation
destroy each other in the
process of rebelling against
His authority. The genius is
in the simplicity. And to
those who so belong, the
tariff has already been paid
upon that cross that these
future fake Catholics are
always processing with. The
price is free, but there is
one catch: it costs you your
life. Of course, when you
consider that you're going
to die anyway, it's the best
deal out there. And only
available for a limited
time!

Here
continues the chronicle, set
down daily by the brethren.
The brethren of Isaac Edward
Leibowitz, in their abbey in
the desert of the southwest.
And so continues our
presentation with Parts 7, 8
and 9 of A Canticle for
Leibowitz, done as an
old time radio serial, and
done pretty darn well at
that. Time marches on and
progress slowly tags along
behind, only to catch up
later in the most
frightening of ways.
Technology has always been a
two-edged sword, even back
in the day when that itself
was the latest innovation.
Human civilizations are
built upon the corpses of
the conquered, whereas the
Church is built upon the
living souls of the martyrs
of Jesus. There's a big
difference. To see the
latter only through the lens
of the former captures but a
grim and pointless portrait
of the reality of human
life, for it can only see
the earthly. If Christ's
kingdom is not of this
world, then neither is ours,
and if the true light that
beckons us home is from
heaven, then that last flash
that sends us there is
surely nothing to fear. On
with the show! |

Welcome
back! We continue tonight
with Walter M. Miller Jr.'s
epic tale of dystopia and
despair, A Canticle for
Leibowitz. Who exactly
is Leibowitz? Your curiosity
will be satisfied tonight,
as the story dislodges
itself from its desert time
warp and begins to press
forward towards... Well,
after all, that's why you
tune in, isn't it? Join
Brian and Sally as they
present the next three
installments in this
week-long pilgrim's journey
through this sci-fi
classic. It was a different
kind of tale back in 1960,
even more so nowadays.
Rather than blaming the
Catholic Church for causing
the Dark Ages, as so many
revisionist historians are
wont to do, we see here an
example, set in a fictional
future, that demonstrates
why the Church should,
instead, be more appreciated
for lifting the world out
of history's nastiest
quagmire. Fair is fair, and
Miller Jr. gives the Church
that much credit, sans any
kind of divine intervention.
And where is God in all of
this anyway?

"Theater
of the Mind" is back and
continues all this week, as
Brian and Sally bring you
the radio drama version of
Walter M. Miller Jr.'s epic
sci-fi classic, A
Canticle for Leibowitz. Originally
produced in 1981 by John
Reeves at radio station WHA
at the University of
Wisconsin, it was formatted
as a radio serial in 15
installments. The math is
easy. Three parts per night
and we get the whole
production done for you in
five nights. The book is
required reading if you do
RCIA with Chaplain Phil. He
says it is both the most and
least Catholic book you will
ever read, and that it
accomplishes both at once
suggests more participation
by the Holy Spirit in the
project than Miller Jr.
might have suspected. He was
a convert, you know. Often
times that allows one to see
the Church in different ways
and with a certain awe that
often escapes those born
Catholic. The Catholic
Church without God is an
institution that transcends
human history. With Him, it
transcends human existence.
Miller gets the first part
but misses the second, and
that's where the infernal
dryness in his book comes
from. When one injects God
into his story, it blossoms
like the Rod of Aaron; like
the Utah desert when it
rains before a good nuking.

We
conclude Chaplain Phil's
"What They Didn't Teach You
in RCIA Week" with these
"two for one" interviews
with Father Malachi Martin,
because we're pretty sure he
wasn't included in your
formal Catholic education.
In fact, disdain for Father
Martin may be the only thing
that Modernist and
Traditionalist Catholics
actually agree upon. The
Modernists hated him for
exposing them, and the Trads
for destroying their
illusions of the Church with
what he exposed. He actually
did play a large role in
Chaplain Phil's Catholic
formation, which explains a
lot, including why he thinks
Father Martin should also
play a larger role in yours.
These two interviews are
with Michael Corbin and must
be from 1996 or 97. Windswept
House was still hot
off the presses, and the
80th anniversary of Fatima
was a big deal back then.
Father Martin read the Third
Secret and his life was
never the same thereafter.
And he was a Vatican insider
when the enthronement of
Lucifer took place, and
that's why he had to stop
doing that. Clearly a unique
perspective, and that
perspective is yours tonight
here on RNJ. Enjoy!

For
a Catholic look at the "End
Times" we go back to Sensus
Fidelium for some
sound Catholic teaching and,
for the most part, that's
just what we get. Keep in
mind that following Jesus
means precisely that, and
when the Church doesn't do
that it is by definition
"apostasy." Everyone from
Jesus and the Blessed Virgin
Mary on down to the most
humble of Catholic mystics
will tell you that the
apostasy of the Church is a
sure sign that the end is
near, and if Francis and the
Gay Mafia running it are not
the abomination of
desolation standing in the
holy place, then the real
thing must really be
something. Don't let them
fool you. The Catholic
Church isn't the Vatican
mob, and Christ's kingdom is
in heaven and not in Rome.
Lucifer is already sitting
on the Chair of Peter, and
the stage is set for the
showdown of the ages because
Jesus is about to reclaim
it. God will not be mocked,
especially by the Roman
Catholic Church, and because
this is so, all hell is
about to break loose upon
the earth. If the Catholic
Church actually taught the
Truth of Christ, this would
not be so and everyone would
want to be Catholic. And if
Catholic Truth like this was
what they taught you in
RCIA, everybody would
be!

If
you've decided that a
Catholic brother like
Brother Andre Marie is about
as intense as it gets, just
wait until you hear Brother
Peter Dimond from Most
Holy Family Monastery.
I don't know as it's fair to
call him Catholic, and it's
certainly unfair to call him
anything else. He's a sedevacantist,
meaning he takes it
literally when you call
Francis an empty chair. An
empty Chair of Peter, that
is. A lot of folks who
consider themselves uber
Catholics believe that there
has been no pope since Pius
XII. Personally, it seems to
me that he who shows up at
the window for the Angelus
must bear the title. Last
Sunday at noon, that was
Francis. Now that doesn't
say he's the legitimate
pope, and that brings us to
this presentation by Brother
Peter tonight: "Apocalypse
Now in the Vatican." What
Moses saw when he came down
from the mountain is nothing
compared to the way that
they behave in Rome these
days. You may think that's
no big deal. Brother Peter
begs to differ.

Brother
Andre Marie returns with
more concerning Christian
Zionism in this sequel to
last night's presentation.
What goes unmentioned is the
deeper truth that none of
these Protestant heresies
would have been possible if
the Church had been minding
Christ's business rather
than seeking the wealth and
glory of the world in His
name. Corruption and
blasphemous behavior abound
in the Catholic Church, just
like they do among all of
the sects and cults that
call themselves Christian.
We're all in this together,
and the sin in this world
belongs to all of us. Since
Eden, we have been aware of
how powerful and cunning the
adversary is, yet we humans
continue to vacillate
between cowering in fear and
the most odious kind of
spiritual arrogance, sinning
at will, and as if with
impunity. Surely God's
greatest disgust must be
found in how easy humanity
makes it for the devil, as
we point the finger at each
other and cry, "Sinner!"
Never forget that God saves
whom He wills, and calling
that shot against another is
the surest way to bring the
same fate down upon oneself.
In fact, it's the very sin
that Christian Zionism has
brought down upon America.

It's
all about the Catholic Faith
this week on The Sixth Hour,
as Chaplain Phil presents
"What They Didn't Teach You
in RCIA" (Rite of Christian
Initiation for Adults).
Tonight's first entry will
help neophytes differentiate
between the "Evangelical"
Christianity that became the
"God and Country" voice of
what most perceive to be
Christianity in America, and
the true expression of the
faith as preserved in the
Deposit of Faith contained
in the Catholic Church.
Christian Zionism is the
heretical belief that the
current nation/state of
Israel is the fulfillment of
Biblical prophecy, and marks
the return of God's people
to the Holy Land. This
totally ignores the founding
of the Church as the
fulfillment of the Old
Testament, and the altar of
Christ as the centerpiece of
the New Temple. And it is
through the error of Sola
Scriptura that the
fledgling United States of
America justified its claim
to "Manifest Destiny" as if
proclaimed via divine fiat.
Rebellion against God and
murder carried out in His
name: the sin of the Israel
of old, and so we shall reap
the same whirlwind. Keep
that in mind as you listen
to Brother Andre Marie,
courtesy of Senus
Fidelium as
he presents, "Christian
Zionism Part 1:
Tracing the Lines of a
Warmongering Heresy."

This
is one of the most subtly
disturbing reports we've
ever presented, just simply
because of how far reaching
the implications are should
they be true. We've known
that the UFO phenomenon has
had an unhealthy curiosity
about our nuclear weapons
facilities for decades now,
but until you hear this
insider's view of it from
Robert Hastings, it's hard
to fathom just how
significant this really is.
If the UFO's and their
operators can really shut
down or activate the nuclear
weapons systems of the
world, then we're already
under their control. Is what
you see in the world about
you merely a New World Order
theater production being
used to gently guide the
sheeple to a more orderly
slaughter? At the rate this
is all progressing, there
won't be any rabble left to
rouse by the time they
figure out that this is all
going according to a plan
that is not in their best
interest. And who are these
airborne perpetrators
anyway, and why is it more
farfetched to suppose that
these things just might be
of earthly origin rather
than extraterrestrial?
Clever Nazis in league with
the devil seems the safer
bet. Think about it.

Operation
Paperclip. With Nazi Germany
lying in ruins, why not bring
the best Nazi minds to America
so they can work the same
miracle here that they performed
in the Fatherland? What could
possibly go wrong? Especially
when you consider how close
people like Werner von Braun
were to people like Alistair
Crowley, not to mention Walt
Disney. It's really debatable
how great the "Greatest
Generation" actually was, but
they were certainly the most
gullible. Uncle Sam was to be
trusted above God Almighty
Himself, "...and if he says the
German scientists are okay, then
that's all right by me. Shut up
and drink your Kool Aid."
President Kennedy starts off
this Jim Nichols film that is
the basis of tonight's program
by urging us to go to the moon.
He never made it out of Dallas,
and there's still question as to
whether anybody actually made it
to the moon, at least in those
tin can Apollo jalopies. But,
then again, we had Von Braun and
it turns out Von Braun was SS.
If he didn't have the plans for
the Hannebu then who did? As for
that Nazi miracle? Just look
look around you and see what
America has become. It's like deja
vu all over again.

If
you still wonder why they call
it "Theater of the Mind," you
won't after this intriguing
journey into the deep unknown!
Join our own Brian Helix and
Sally Belle-Époque, as they host
this Ken Klein documentary
that's guaranteed to blow your
mind. Are we experiencing the
long prophesied "thinning of the
veil," and are there those among
us who are, independently of
each other, providing the
photographic evidence that this
is so? Are there entities from
another dimension lurking at the
fringe of human perception, and
is that perception now allowing
things to be perceived that were
here-to-fore invisible? There's
a man in New Orleans who
photographs strange entities and
anomalies, including an angry
image that looks like a
petroglyph from our Chaco
Canyon series.
Orbs with faces, angels and
demons, aliens and UFO's abound
in the skies if you have the
right equipment and the courage
to use it. So why shouldn't
characters from Native American
folklore be appearing in the Big
Easy? We've heard stranger
things happen there, and surely
Cajun "man corn" would resonate
with that Voodoo vibe. So, be
forewarned, you'll want to leave
the light on and have a Crucifix
and some Holy Water handy for
this one. Actually, that's
become a good idea
anytime.

Michael
Matt gets it. Chaplain
Phil gets it. And the
truckers of Canada certainly get
it. Sometimes, you just
have to get out and have some
fun in the Dark Winter,
especially when idiots like
"Little Ferret Man"
have had everybody cooped up
inside for two years. And what
could be more fun than
channeling the vibe of Convoy,
that utterly forgettable, 1978,
rampaging rebel truckers movie
starring Kris Kristofferson and
Ali MacGraw? Beyond the odd
casting, and Miss McGraw's weird
"afro" hairdo, this film really
offers little of interest unless
you're into watching "Cab-over
Petes" and "Jimmys" slam into a
seemingly endless parade of old
Plymouth police cars. No, it's
that "in your face" attitude of
the CW McCall song that holds
all the appeal here in the Dark
Winter of 2022. And what do
Canadians think of making the
Alberta to Ottawa "Convoy" run
in the dead of January? Nothing
at all! Perfect weather for an
outdoor celebration, especially
when you can save the nation in
the process. So crack open a
Labatt's and join the party, as
Chaplain Phil and Michael Matt
have way too much fun with the
Canadian Freedom Convoy. But be
forewarned, you Canadian

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.
