Any word on why it was cancelled? It was because he's a Christian, right? I will alert Rick Perry.
Perhaps it has something to do with this (from the playlist):
weev here. It was indeed one sixty minute live take. None of the recorded material I have ever released has been some sort of mashup of takes-- it is always a single run through. My bail conditions imposed for my federal computer crime indictment make it hard for me to use audio editing software so I basically have one shot at getting things right.
So I have been fired and the show is done-- I am not allowed to broadcast compelling radio that makes the listening audience uncomfortable.
In particular, I stand accused of anti-Semitism for using the phrase "international banker". I am not, nor have I ever been, an anti-Semite. I meticulously read both FCC rules and station guidelines before beginning my radio series and believe I fell firmly within the stated bounds of those guidelines. I had a good two episode run and learned a whole lot, and am sad that I got ousted for being too controversial. I have 12 years of making highly controversial art now. It is sad that WFMU hosted Dave Emory for so long, who has said a lot of despicable things about Islam, and somehow I am over the line. I guess it is okay to say hateful and discriminatory things as long as they attack one of the approved minority targets of American and thus don't make the wrong group of people angry. It is not okay to even use an intonation and rhetorical process that makes people recall uncomfortable things, even if you do not attack a specific group. Such is the death of art. Regardless, I appreciated my time in the WFMU studios and am thankful for the opportunity.
I have six more sessions recorded and I still plan on releasing them one way or another. They span subjects from the 15-year history of the antisec movement to an analysis calling into question whether or not HIV causes AIDS.
If you want to see them in the future, I suggest you follow me on Twitter @rabite.
Goodbye and God bless!
