Jones & Stadtmiller squash beef

Today on The National Intel Report, John Stadtmiller announced that he and Alex Jones have decided to squash the patriot beef. According to Stadtmiller, he and Jones had a meeting over lunch and they both agreed that it was time to come together and fight the real enemy – The New World Order.

Personally, I find it a little strange that Jones would just let Stadtmiller get away with accusing him of being drug addict, and it makes me wonder if the whole thing was a set up… But hey, that’s just my 2 cents.

Stadtmiller takes off the gloves

Today John Stadtmiller took off the gloves and laid it all on the line. The full second hour of The National Intel Report (even the advertising breaks were killed) was dedicated to explaining the situation between GCN and RBN.

John accused Alex Jones, Ted Anderson, Wes Perkins, Danny Romero and others of conspiring to bring down RBN and to establish a new sister network to GCN called ‘We the People Radio Network’. Stadtmiller claims this plan has been in motion since June of 2006, and that Jones has been calling numerous RBN hosts and accusing Stadtmiller of beating his wife.

Ted Anderson called WWRB (a shortwave affiliate of RBN) and warned them of possible legal ramifications if the show was broadcasted, which resulted in WWRB not broadcasting the show. And according to Stadtmiller and his wife, both Ted Anderson and Alex Jones called John before the show and threatened legal action.

The future of Radio Free Austin

The following was copied from the Radio Free Austin website.

My name is Wes Perkins, and the following is my public statement regarding the future of Radio Free Austin:

Over 4 years ago I co-founded Radio Free Austin along with Mike Jones. Mike has always said, and I have always agreed, that Radio Free Austin should be an independent network, not taking sides or being influenced by any of the radio networks or hosts that Radio Free Austin puts on the air. Radio Free Austin is an all-volunteer organization with no commercial interests, and refuses to be influenced by those who have commercial interests.

I have built and have maintained the technical infrastructure for Radio Free Austin with an intense desire to save this republic from the clutches of the New World Order. I have worked alongside Mike Jones believing that he too had similar interests. Over the past few weeks, as events have unfolded, I have learned the harsh reality that Mike Jones has betrayed the trust of both myself and the others involved in Radio Free Austin.

Mike Jones has colluded with John Stadtmiller to take over the micro network and merge it with the Republic Broadcasting Network. Mike has expressed a deep interest in removing Alex Jones from the airwaves of Radio Free Austin. Mike has said that if the micros don’t go along with his secret merger plan after it is revealed, that he would take back transmitter equipment that he claims to be his.

Mike has also poisoned my relationship with RBN as a contractor and service provider, thereby affecting my livelihood and causing me economic damage.

And finally, Mike Jones has tracked down where I live and has reported my whereabouts to Stadtmiller, whereby, according to eyewitness reports, John and Mike were then observed planning to blackmail me. Mike Jones, at Radio Free Austin board meetings, has supported the actions of John Stadtmiller in lock step. Regarding Stadtmiller brandishing guns carelessly, Mike said “that’s no big deal – I’ve pulled guns on people”.

Regarding the issue of Stadtmiller calling GCN’s advertisers and telling them that GCN is going out of business, Mike again stood behind his man, saying “that’s just business – everyone does that.”

After my going public regarding RBN last week, Mike Jones has now sent me a contract to set out terms of the split up of Radio Free Austin, which, without consideration to the free will of the folks hosting transmitters, splits the various transmitter locations into two camps. Mike also includes in his contract additional attempts at coersion and blackmail by bringing personal issues between Mike and myself into the contract which have no place there.

I contend that said contract is bogus in total. Firstly, a lot of folks have contributed to Radio Free Austin over the years trusting that it would continue to be managed and operated with an independent focus. Secondly, Mike is trying to claim ownership of the transmitter equipment that is spread around to the various transmitter locations.

Mike Jones is only responsible for a portion of that equipment. Many thousands of dollars have been donated by others who have brought several transmitter locations into being outside of Mike’s influence or financial contributions. Also, Mike has been the treasurer of the donation mail drop for well over a year, thereby effectively being paid back for a portion of his expenses. All of the equipment, efforts and resources of a large number of people cannot be simply thrown into a box and split up in such a wreckless fashion. Radio Free Austin is a pool of resources involving a lot of people. One guy can’t suddenly change his philosophy and take it all sideways or backwards. I’m not going to allow that to happen. Mike is the one splitting away from the stated mission, and it is Mike that will need to start over from scratch. If he wants to operate a new micro network alongside with those who spread lies and hatred, then let him start from scratch and get folks behind him who believe in that mission with it being clearly stated up front.

I will continue to provide the feed for Radio Free Austin with little changes. I will continue to support the technical infrastructure which provides a platform for local activism in the community with no commercial influence. Local announcements will continue. Any of the existing transmitter locations may continue to provide the Radio Free Austin feed if they so desire – no changes will be required on their part. However, I will not support divisiveness and deceit from the likes of John Stadtmiller. To learn more about my experiences at RBN Click Here.

Mike Jones may be starting a new micro network, or working with Stadtmiller to install micros exclusively for RBN. Either way, I wish him well. He’s now doing everything that he once said he would never do, but that’s his choice.

If Mike attempts to arm-twist any of the existing transmitter locations to go with him against their wishes, it should be known that a lot of large money backers are standing by to replace any transmitter equipment that comes to be in dispute with regards to ownership. Mike should be forced to bring a full accounting of his expenses and donation receipts to the table if he wants to make an issue out of transmitter ownership.

As far as Radio Free Austin programming – we will have few issues there. GCN is improving their programming lineup as we speak, and we will also consider some other networks that have been out there and working with them to iron out the technical issues required to pick them up. There are also a number of potential new networks that are working to launch – we will be keeping a close eye on them as well.

Stalker Stadtmiller Still Lurking!

The following was posted on the Jack Blood Forum and later on RBNLive.com by Danny Romero, an ex-RBN programming director/web designer/producer.

Yesterday (Super Bowl Sunday) while I was out, I received a call from my wife who was obviously upset. She and others (family and Guests) observed John Stadtmiller sitting at the end of our street, which is a dead end circle, staring at our house on his unmistakable Harley Davidson motorcycle (lots of chrome!). I told her that I was on my way home and to call 911 if he did anything provocative or stupid (especially if he had been drinking.) I rushed home and when I arrived he was gone.

We are all aware of Stadtmiller’s (I know where you live) threats to Wes and his family and I don’t know what his sick motives were on Sunday, but any mentally healthy adult would not resort to this childish behavior. I know John doesn’t have any “real” friends, but come on…get a life!

For myself I don’t care, because I don’t have time to fear such morally bankrupt people, but when it comes to my family and they’re upset, well that’s where I draw the line! For those of you who still haven’t figured out Stadtmiller, he has two MO’s. His favorite method is to bully and intimidate, the second is to play the victim when his weak schemes don’t work. What he hasn’t figured out yet is that the sword cuts both ways. If Stadtmiller had a clue about the good and prominent people who are now standing behind us (John has wronged a lot of people) he would make himself very scarce.

My reasons for posting this information is not fear, as I’ve been around the block too many times to fear any mortal man, but it’s to provide a public record of John’s ongoing behavior and to remind John that many people know where he lives.

If you have had a bad Stadtmiller experience or you know someone that has been down this road and you want to share your experience, please email it to zerosum50@yahoo.com and it will be posted. People need to know the truth!

Again, a very heart felt thanks and gratitude to all the great people, sponsors, and volunteers who have come forward to support and defend me, Wes and WTPRN. The good fight will go forward.

Webster Tarpley moving to GCN

As announced at the end of his show on February 3rd, Webster Tarpley will be moving from RBN to GCN. More information will be available on the GCN website soon.

What Really Happened At RBN

The following was posted on the Jack Blood forums by Danny Romero, a program director/producer at RBN.

I had the opportunity to hear a recording of John Stadtmiller’s explanation of what he thinks happened at RBN last weekend. My congratulations to who ever pranked John with their so called “inside information”. There was no big conspiracy to bring down RBN from the inside, as John stated on his show on Monday. Here’s what really happened, and I should know because I was there; there are many people who can back this up.

Jan. 10, 2007, I arrive at RBN in the afternoon to hear John Stadtmiller and Chris Hanson talking about Alex Jones. They were talking about, what they thought, were references from Alex Jones, about John Stadtmiller, on Alex’s show. Chris tells John about a former GCN host making drug allegations about Alex years ago. My impression at the time was it sounded like total hearsay bullshit gossip. When I came back to the fridge to get a drink about 20 minutes before airtime, John is telling Chris to loop 6 minutes of Alex’s theme. I ask John “what are you going to do?” he tells me not to worry, “I promise you I’m going to be very subtle.” So, as it turns out, John’s statement that he hired a private investigator to spy on Alex was just a rumor from Chris in the office about some old gossip.

I’m always very busy on the phone, and as usual I’m on the phone when John airs his “subtle” piece, so I didn’t get to hear it. Shortly thereafter, Sandra was coming out her office and asked me, “What the hell did John just do?” (I guess she was starting to get phone calls). I told her, I didn’t hear that part of the show. John then comes into the office during the next break and proudly asks me if I heard the piece. I said no and I would have to listen to it later in the archives. Later that night, I heard the archived show, and I felt sick. As we all know now, John’s piece was as subtle as a lead pipe to the head. I knew right then this was going to have serious repercussions for RBN and that it wasn’t going to go away.

Jan. 11, 2007, (the next day) Alex responds and soon thereafter Jason Bermas leaves RBN, followed by Dan Abrahamson; with rumors flying that Webster Tarpley was soon to follow, (Nick Begich has since left as well). Now please understand my situation here, I was the person responsible for the programming innovations at RBN. I brought and produced Karen Kwiatowski, Nick Begich, Janis Karpinski, Jason Bermas, Dan Abrahamson, Kevin Barrett, Greg Szymanski, Jim Fetzer, Alex Ansary, Ingri Cassel, Don Harkins, Richard Reeves, Gary Franchi, Eric Shine and D’Anne Burley. By this time, I’m beginning to watch the people I consider my friends, start to bail from the network, not to mention the undoing of all my hard work.

If that was not bad enough, some our advertisers started dropping, and now RBN is converted from a stable workplace, to a group of pissed off people doing damage control; and for what? This on air debacle was as foolish as G.W. Bush’s “Bring Um On” statement. The change was immediate and it caused me to be concerned about the future of RBN and the great people who are really responsible for RBN’s success. By the way, I have nothing bad to say about Sandra who has worked harder than anybody there and has endured more bad treatment from John in front of the entire staff. It is her common sense about business that has kept RBN alive all this time.

A couple of days later John knows I’m bummed about what is happening to RBN and tries to assure me that things are going to be OK and that the people who were leaving were “no good anyway”; referring to Dan Abrahamson, he said “One less Jew on the network!” Wow; what a racist thing to say. This, from a man who goes on air and says he knows the difference between Jews, Judaism and Zionism? I guess he felt this was supposed to make me feel better. At this point I finally realize that John is never going to evolve past basic instincts.

Shortly thereafter, I called Wes because he has a web hosting business, and asked him to reserve WTPRN.com for me in case RBN failed on its own. Wes was not the initiator of WTPRN, but felt he might be able to help if the failure did come to pass. There was never an internal plot to take hosts or advertisers, as that would be unethical. Anybody who truly knows me knows that this is not my style. If anything, I felt very uncomfortable about John’s collusion with Mike Jones of RFA to take Alex Jones off the low power FMs, and force the other low powers to carry mostly RBN programming or lose the equipment that Mike Jones supplied.

John also stated in his Monday spin piece that our alleged “conspiracy” included a talk show host and the president of another radio network. Nothing could be further from the truth and I absolutely had no agreements with anyone. He also stated that the hosts who left RBN first were probably part of that plot. I have never talked to any of those hosts who had left previously and anyone can clear this up by contacting those hosts. My only interest in establishing WTPRN was to make sure that the innocent people at RBN didn’t have to pay the price of John’s careless mistakes. John said he likes healthy competition, but he and Mike Jones were working feverishly to get Alex Jones off all the local low power FMs; and he always hoped to bring down GCN by going after their advertisers.

By the end of last week there were only two people at RBN who knew about the WTPRN site and about its true future purpose. Those individuals were specifically asked by me never to talk to any existing RBN advertisers or hosts, and to continue doing the jobs they were being paid to do. Sales were still being made, guests were still being booked, websites still updated, it was business as usual, except for that nagging feeling “what’s going to happen next?” No conspiracy here, just a safety net for the hard work we have all done trying to save our Constitutional Republic.

Friday Jan. 26, 2007, Wes calls Chris Hanson at home, and informs him that he’s not coming in because he feels it’s a hostile environment. He also informs Chris that he is not obligated to give RBN his intellectual property (Automated archives scripts) he wrote as an independent contractor. He also tells them, they need to pay him for these services if they want to continue to use his scripts. Chris is trembling with anger when he comes back to RBN to report this info to John and Sandra. Wes also requested that they give his payment (for the previous week’s service) to me, although none of this was prearranged with me, they declined to give me his payment.

Sat. evening Jan. 27, 2007, I log on to my computer after getting a call from John, and I see the statement posted by Wes on the RBN site. I was not informed by Wes he was going to do this, but John claimed on last Monday’s spin piece that this too was all orchestrated; more lies. John told me on Saturday night that he had already called the Round Rock Police and that he was probably going to call the FBI.

Not knowing what pushed Wes to take control of the website, I called him and he told me that he had been informed by another RBN insider, that Mike Jones of RFA had learned of Wes’s new address, and that Mike and John were overheard talking about calling the police on Wes’s warrants if he didn’t cooperate with the transition. Wes felt very threatened at that moment, given John’s history of irrational behavior. Morally, I was compelled to tell Wes what John had just said to me on the phone, because Wes has a wife and 3 small children.

After working closely with John for 2 ½ years I’ve seen a lot of disturbing behavior, and many past employees, ex-hosts and local supporters have also been subjected to his erratic behavior. Many of our listeners and supporters would email John with suggestions and minor criticisms, and he would email them back and basically tell them to go screw themselves. I guess I have been too consumed with the website in the morning, then coming in and booking guests and producing new programming, to deal with his lack of respect of the very people who made RBN successful.

I have read the theories on the internet about Wes starting “We the People Radio Network” to bring down RBN – this is not true. The real truth is John Stadtmiller struck the fatal blow to RBN by airing his bullshit hit piece on Alex Jones, trying to intimidate him. Now he’s blaming everyone else for his own stupidity. John forced Wes’s hand by his “I know where you live” threat. John did call the Police and told me he was going to call the FBI on Saturday night. What kind of patriot would do this? The incidents are so numerous it would take up way to much time to cover and I only wish to get all this crap behind us all.

I understand that many of you are upset with what happened to RBN, and I respect your concerns; we are all fighting the same battles for truth. Being the person who brought you most of the better programs at RBN, and Wes being the person who brought the technical innovation and invented the automated free archives, this situation is very difficult for us too. While I am proud for being involved in creating the best elements of RBN, it was not done for personal glory, and sometimes in life you have to stand up and do what’s right and walk away from a bad situation. I want to look forward now and continue the development of “We the People Radio Network” to bring you important programming, including important voices who have been kept off the air at RBN. I want to also be a vehicle to support Ron Paul for President. There’s much work to do and it’s time to put this behind us, if you want to support the honest efforts of WTPRN, you can temporarily contact me at zerosum50@yahoo.com. If you’re still a John Stadtmiller sycophant, I can only suggest you go over to RBN, as there are many job openings now and you can experience it all first hand.

More from Wes Perkins

The RBNLive website has been updated with more information from Wes Perkins.

I, Wes Perkins, received a call from Sandra from RBN a few minutes ago. She left a voice mail and requested copies of the credit card information for the subscribers of the RBN listen line. The listen line was a service that I offered on my own infrastructure which allowed people to call into a phone number and listen to RBN by phone. RBN and I split the revenue from this service and charges were charged on RBN’s CSIN credit card account. We had less than ten subscribers total. Sandra said that if she doesn’t receive these by the end of the day that she will consider this theft and she will file additional charges.

Since I have concluded my relationship with RBN, I am no longer offering this service. I have also destroyed the requested subscriber list including all related credit card information.

Threatening people with false theft charges if they do not comply with their requests is a terroristic threat and unlawful. This continues the blackmail, threats and abuse that I received in attempting to leave RBN last week.

This is the first and only voicemail I have received from RBN since services were terminated.

(Updated: 01/30/2007 09:00:00)

I, Wes Perkins, now have additional witnesses who have stepped forward to confirm, and now I am willing to go public with the fact, that Mike Jones, my former landlord, is the man who tracked down where I moved to and passed that information to John Stadtmiller. (See below for more details.) Also, on John Stadtmiller’s Monday, January 29, 2007 broadcast, John said something that jogged my memory. On Friday, January 12, 2007, John Stadtmiller, in the presence of two witnesses in front of the RBN offices in Round Rock, TX, told me that I don’t need to worry about my personal safety while at RBN. “If I wanted to get you, I would not use a gun, I would only need to tell the police where to find you,” said Stadtmiller. He admitted this on his Monday program. Stadtmiller also confirmed on his Monday broadcast that he did indeed bring a gun into a staff meeting, did indeed kick his wife’s dog because the dog urinated on the carpet and has kicked trash cans and slammed doors. He continued by confirming that I was concerned for my personal safety and that I wanted to conclude our relationship by phone rather than in person.

On Jack Blood’s Monday broadcast, January 29, 2007, Jack confirmed the deplorable work environment at RBN with the Stadtmiller tantrums. Jack saw it early on that John was holding RBN back and left to continue his broadcast career with GCN. The Monday following Jack’s departure from RBN, Stadtmiller’s Monday February 21, 2005 broadcast, John used the entire first hour of his show to trash Jack Blood’s character. This is the way John treats people who leave his organization under “good” terms, especially if they leave to join the “enemy” camp. I was producing John’s show that day – it was the most embarrassing and vile hour of broadcast that I had ever had to sit through.

Jack Blood did not respond on air to that devastating and vicious attack. He took the high road and for that I will always admire him.

(Updated: 01/29/2007 15:00:00)

I, Wes Perkins, own the domain names rbnlive.com and rbnlive.net. It is my right to post an affidavit on my own domains. After the threats and harassment that I’ve received and continue to receive, I’ve posted the truth on my website and terminated all services provided through the infrastructure that I own, due to non-payment for services being withheld as of last Friday. If Stadtmiller is filing any reports with any agencies or authorities claiming to own rbnlive.com and rbnlive.net, they are false reports and punishable under criminal and civil procedures.
