Some
Serious Information
"I
shall tell you a great secret, my frient. Do not wait for the last
judgment, it takes place every day. -
Albert Camus
There
are changes happening in our communities, nation, and the world.
Some are good. But, foundational values are being destroyed. We are
being segregate, not by race; but, by every other category possible.
It appears the intent is to have everyone think, "It's us
against them!"
It
is time to remind ourselves that it is "Us,
period. Exclamation point!"
We
must remember that we are all in this together and to work together
for the sake of everyone.
At
the Foundation we are trying to do several things. Give accurate
information so better decisions can be made by all of us. Provide
positive entertainment to make us feel better. And, support the
community and the kids.
For
over 3 years the Foundation has been warning about very bad times
coming. Not the end of the world. Bad times. If we allow things to
continue as they are, our kids and grand kids are going to have very
difficult times.
Let's
step outside of politics and re-enter the world of our community.
Let us understand we must pull together. If we do this, we stop the
downward spiral happening.
What
we will do:
We
will provide the information and entertainment. We will encourage
our kids and ourselves to do a little better every day. These
are a few words defining a huge effort.
What
you can do:
We
cannot do this alone. We will provide a network feed to our radio
stations. This is 24 hours a day, seven days a week program
feed. The local programming will come with your financial support.
If
everyone in the community gave $10 a year and the businesses,
churches, and service groups $100 a year, we would have
enough to do those things that are important to our community:
School
Sports
School
academic competitions
Town
meetings
Special
events
Religious
services
Important
news and information
It
is our goal to have at least 30 hours a week of local programming.
This means that it is time for you and your organization to step up
and help.
Churches,
Schools, and Service Organizations
If
you are a service group or organization such as a church or school,
by working with us, you will have fundraising opportunities that will
be beyond your expectations. As an example, a private school could be
making $5 to $15 million a year, after organizing and creating your
contact network. This might mean a private school could have free tuition.
Businesses
Small
business can have the opportunity of being kept in the fore thoughts
of the community. Opportunities are available for the smallest business.
Large
business can have the presence of a major campaign for pennies on
the dollar. For example, this would give us the ability to do the
programming important to the community. We would also like to take
these stations green.
With your support, we can take our stations off of the electrical
grid and run totally off of wind and solar.
Campaigns
will be tied to our noncommercial radio stations and websites.
The Wall of News,
a news service similar to a daily paper has a "circulation"
greater than the Lansing
State Journal,
The
Jackson Citizen Patriot,
and The
Daily Telegram combined.
Individuals
We
believe our community is only as strong as the most fragile
individuals. We have opportunities for you to be our representative.
This is a perfect opportunity for a stay at home parent or someone
with special needs.
No
one is forgotten.
Again,
we cannot state this too strongly. Our goal is simple: We provide
the information and entertainment in order to make everyone's life better.
We
hope you agree!
For those who enjoy their computers:
It
is time to tell your favorite sites to stop mandating cookies. It is
very simple for them to change their sites to ask for cookies rather
than mandate that you put something on your computer that was a bad
idea from the get-go. Better yet, turn them off all together. They
will say it about this or that.
What
it means for you is that you leave an important security access
open. Go to your computer's browser and refuse all cookies. Do so
with your fire wall, also.
What
about those sites that mandate cookies? Think about it. Do you
really need those sites. All of the Foundation's
sites do not use cookies in any form. Links to our sites cannot have
mandated cookies.
It's
time to turn a bad idea off and refuse to use cookies. A message
from: The Society for Accurate
Information and Distribution Foundation

Albert Camus
(1913-1960) was a representative of non-metropolitan French
literature. His origin in Algeria and his experiences there in the
thirties were dominating influences in his thought and work. Of
semi-proletarian parents, early attached to intellectual circles of
strongly revolutionary tendencies, with a deep interest in philosophy
(only chance prevented him from pursuing a university career in that
field), he came to France at the age of twenty-five. The man and the
times met: Camus joined the resistance movement during the occupation
and after the liberation was a columnist for the newspaper Combat.
But his journalistic activities had been chiefly a response to the
demands of the time; in 1947 Camus retired from political journalism
and, besides writing his fiction and essays, was very active in the
theatre as producer and playwright (e.g., Caligula, 1944). He also
adapted plays by Calderon, Lope de Vega, Dino Buzzati, and Faulkner's
Requiem for a Nun. His love for the theatre may be traced back to his
membership in L'Equipe, an Algerian theatre group, whose
"collective creation" Révolte dans les Asturies
(1934) was banned for political reasons.
