We Could All Be A Bit More Focused -- A Response to Radio One/92 Q Jams

Baltimore Blogger Bites Back

Attorney Taylor;


A short moment ago I just completed an interview with a local TV news station that contacted me regarding this situation.

It is with deep disappointment and disgust I write this letter, as a response to exaggerated allegations of copyright infringement and their accompanying legal threats.

As noted in your email, what got your attention was our story on a very sensitive situation that has stirred the emotions of many, not just in Baltimore, but all across the nation.

During a time in this country when race relations appear severely strained, and we have opportunity to learn vital lessons, it is particularly troubling that a black owned corporation would seek to intimidate a black owned and operated, community based, non profit news and information service.

Radio One Threatens Legal Action Against The Baltimore Spectator

Big Business Bullies Blogger

It's not everyday as a blogger you get to open email from a multi-million dollar national corporation threatening to take legal action against you.

You would think a company that owns over 50 radio stations coast to coast, a cable TV network, multiple websites and print publications would have better things to do. Apparently not.

The black and white photo of mine seen at the bottom of many of blog posts happens to be in front of a vehicle owned by the radio conglomerate. Most people probably never noticed -- my figure is what's prominently featured in the shot -- but in the background, if you pay attention, the 92 Q Jams logo can be seen.

Of the four station cluster Radio One has in Baltimore, my voice has been heard on that one the least. I highly doubt anyone seeing the picture would misconstrue it to mean I was an employee or personality on the station. Quite frankly theirs isn't my core demographic and I have nothing to gain by association, intentional or unintentional.

Seriously? Is that the best you got?

A line drawn in the sand is only as scary as the person drawing it.

Not Gone Yet -- A Few Parting Shots Left!

By A.F. James MacArthur, Managing Editor
(early edition, first draft)
MIXED REACTIONS


At 17, A.F. James MacArthur enlisted in the U.S. Marines. A qualified expert rifleman able to drop human sized targets 1000 yards out!

After yesterday's announcement, I received a few phone calls and emails. They ranged from the expected questions why, to a few outbursts of shock and even anger. One person sent me three seperate emails, each with only one word, A$$HOLE! [$$ added by editor]. Some understood my brief explanation, and some said I should stay the course and carry on.

In this life, the future remains ever uncertain, with the end always near. So for now, I'm still here, how much longer is anyone's guess, including mine. Over the next few days, possibly weeks, this site may take on a very different look and feel from what so many of you have become used to.

To be honest, this little "New Media" experiment has been rather fascinating and really quite interesting. I've been able to do and accomplish things I never imagined, even in my wildest hallucinatory delusions. The thought of tens of thousands of you having read my writings is quite humbling and awe inspiring. I never thought my little blog would have become that popular.

It is no secret to me that the reason so many people came here time and time again was not to hear about me and personal issues, but rather to see my unique take on the news, and to hear my sometimes way out there views. If there's anything I've learned over the years in writing is to keep it short. Keep em coming back for more they told me. People are busy, so you be brief other would say.

So to this end, I will do my best. But I must warn you. Again, things may end up looking VERY different in this space. At times the new pieces may come out at a rapid fire clip. Then there'll be times when it seems there hasn't been an update in a while. Best I can say is keep checking back, often. Tell a friend, or tell no one. Doesn't matter to me. If you see, what I be, then we can be cool. OK?

Just one more thing, do not put it past "them" to figure out a neat and creative way to silence me. "They" have ways to do this.. From murders that look like suicides, accidents, or natural causes. To false arrests without cause or merit for the purpose of discrediting, harassing or threatening. Don't believe me? Take a moment, just for starters, google the following; Robert Clay, Jonathan Luna, Ken Harris, Troy Chesley? But don't stop there, do what I've been doing and dig deeper and start connecting the dots and see where it leads and how dirty and corrupt it all is. After looking closely at the stories, tell me if you see any connections.

Fasten your seatbelts, it's gonna be a wild ride.


Shooting From The Hip -- Editorial - My Harshest Ever

UPDATED: The Spectator Shutting Down

THE BASTARDS WON!

THE MACARTHUR MANIFESTO

We wanted to shed some light on the darkness and corruption running rampant in government. We wanted to be a different voice in the media landscape. We wanted to have some fun while doing all this and to remember to not take our selves too seriously. We wanted to be connected directly to you.

Funny how everyone always talks about how they want change and hope, but truly, in this place, there is none to be found. Hate to break it to you, but our current President, likable, and intelligent as he may be, is as hooked up to the machine of establishment politics just as much, or perhaps even more than the next guy.

Then there's Maryland. After watching Baltimore, under Martin O'Malley's leadership, slip further down a slippery slope than even the most harshest cynic could ever imagine, the people of Maryland thought he did such a great job, they decided to promote him to run the whole state.


They said, hey Martin, you did such a great job in Baltimore, with the out of control violence, the homicides, the high school drop outs, the drug addictions, the STD rates, all tops in the country, so we feel you ought to be given a chance to screw up the entire state of Maryland too. All of those phantom accomplishments and strides forward I'm still searching for. The ones to have supposedly taken place while Martin O'Malley was mayor, where did they suddenly disappear to?

I suppose the critics could be right. Sheila Dixon is so incompetent, so incapable, that everything wrong with Baltimore, had absolutely nothing to do with the last eight years preceding her. Nope, it's all her fault and it all materialized under her watch. Sure it did. I know some people who really want you to believe this. And yeah, I'm still pissed off about the snub. It just showed such immaturity and devisivness. You're supposed to be the leader of the state, and therefore by proxy, the leader of the democratic party here, and you sell out the Mayor of the largest city in Maryland just to kiss up to President Obama.

Initially, this was going to be really, really long and drawn out, but I've decided against it. Why bother? I'm not getting paid for this. A wise man often said, people get the government they deserve. So Baltimore, I hope you're happy. Maryland, this is what you get. Enjoy the deficit, the comin continued job losses, and what ever else is lurking around the corner. Oh yeah, let's not forget how what BGE has been doing to you, while your government has sat around and let them.

Rant over now.

If you're looking for me, I won't be in the bunker. Why? Who needs to live that way? Who needs the many false arrests I've experienced, only to have to fight in court to get them thrown out? Who needs to be under a constant cloud of suspicion, observation, and investigation. Oh, you thought I didn't know about the internal files? You guys must have really not checked me out as good as you thought. Not only do I know all of your tricks, I learned them from you.

I have a beautiful house, on a beautiful island, surrounded by beautiful people. Oh, and less anyone think to try anything stupid, yes, I know I have a trial coming up. No, I am not planning to flee, so don't even think about taking me in and justifying it by saying I'm some kind of flight risk. Although all my life I've always been independent, and considered myself to be as free as a bird, right now, especially these days, I feel as if my wings have been clipped.

So, first off, to all the people who have come to this site to see what's here. Sometimes so many of you came at once, the servers literally crashed from overload. To everyone who has stuck by my side. To everyone that has supported over the years. There really is so many of you, I couldn't possibly try to list you all by name, you know who you are. I say thank you, from the bottom of my heart. So long, and farewell.





O'Malley and his ilk should be happy. I'm outta here, they won!
It's been a fun ride, thanks for stopping by everyone. Enjoy Chinese Democracy, it's coming.

MESSAGE TO ALL LAW ENFORCEMENT/INTELLIGENCE AGENCIES

To all those who willfully, deliberately and routinely violate the civil rights of law abiding American Citizens; Yes, you're powerful. Sure, you're everywhere. But this is still America, and the Constitution of the United States Of America still reigns supreme as the law of the land. The Baltimore Spectator will vigorously and aggressively defend against any and all attempts at spying and suppression. Let it be known to all that we are already aware of the regular monitoring and shadowing attempts. There is nothing to hide, but cross the line and there will be hell to pay.

In the end, efforts to impinge upon the freedoms of the people will ultimately fail. Some of us may get taken out in the ongoing battle for true and lasting freedom, but as I've said many times before, and will say till the day I die or get taken out by you goons, THERE ARE MORE OF US, THAN THERE ARE OF YOU.
