I'm listening to 3945 kHz and the rantings of Tom (whose call I won't mention), a ham in Iowa who uses ham radio for his anti-Catholic ravings.
He and his followers (make that “follower” because he usually only has one person on frequency talking –, er, I mean listening to him) showed up on 75 meters again several weeks ago, parking on 3944 or there abouts.
Tom reads long passages from anti-Roman Catholic publications, some of them well over 100 years old. According to Tom, the Muslim religion was founded by the Roman Catholic church (I'm sure Mohammend would be surprised to know that); he also says that Freemasonry was established as a secret wing of the Catholic church so the Pope could gain influence in countires that had booted out the Catholic church.
Tom also insists that Protestant churches in the U.S. are controlled by the Pope. The Pope (like “The Brain” in the “Pinky & The Brain” cartoon) is out to take over the world. He says that President Bush and Obama were both secretly Catholic, and both men took their orders directly from the Vatican.
The Federal Reserve system was designed by the Vatican as a way for the Church to control the economy of the U.S. And according to what he said during a broadcast last night, there are 800 concentration camps that have been built around the U.S. that are ready to house Protestants who refuse to convert to Catholicism when the Pope gets control and the next Inquistion starts. And there are hundreds of guilliotines in storage waiting to be deployed to behead those who refuse to accept Catholicism.
This sounds like the plot for the next Dan Brown novel, doesn't it?
It gets better, too.
A year ago Tom was on the air stating that George W. Bush would be the last president of the United States. President Bush was simply a lackey for the Vatican, who would use a terrorist incident to declare martial law and suspend the Constitution. NATO troops would be used to subdue those who resisted. At some point the president would have over control of the U.S. government to the Vatican, and Bush would be of several kings appointed by the Vatican as reward for their service.
He also said that Pope Benedict was just a caretaker Pope that would last until the New World Order was established. After he died, the true Antichrist — whom he identified as Pope John Paul II — would rise from his grave to rule over the World and inflict death to those who did not fall under Vatican enslavement.
So far, none of those predictions have come to pass. The election took place; Pop John Paul II is likely still deceased; NATO troops have not yet subdued us; and the 800 concentration camps are still apparently empty.
A web site I ran across last year identified locations of many of these so-called camps. The closest concentration camp to me was in Louisville at the former Naval Ordnance station!!
There a single individual listening to Tom as he rants. After every transmission, Tom IDs, as does his follower. After Tom's transmissions, this guy IDs and makes a brief remark.
Tom received an OO notice last year from an OO who said he was broadcasting. The notice was set aside, because Tom is very careful to make sure someone — anyone — is listening to him. His intent is to read material on the air.
And that was the proper thing to do, as Tom does not technical broadcast. And he has the right to spout his rants within the framework of the FCC rules. It amazes me how someone can be so obsessed by this topic.
