Q: Search Shared Drive For Files To Rename Based On Illegal Characters I'm trying to create a modular program in Java that will search a shared drive and return all filenames, and then filter out and rename any files whose names contain illegal characters ( ex. /:*?"<>|' )
I realize that almost every character is not allowed as part of a filename by Windows already, but they were all given as part of the list.The code I have so far is a bit disorganized and was a collaborative effort. I was able to successfully get a file copied from one directory to another, but the resulting file was blank. How can I properly get the file and all the data contained within it copied to a new directory, with all instances of the offending characters removed from the filename?
I apologize if any part of this question represents a duplication among the FAQ.

A: Your code looks kind of OK to me - you should explain why it doesn't work in your question.
You will find this kind of task much easier by using the Java 8 methods Files.walk() and Files.walkFileTree() (the latter may be available in earlier java versions), rather than your for loop.

A: I see a few issues:

*

*If a file has a name with illegal characters, it shouldn't exist in the first place. In Windows the illegal characters are /<>:*?"| (there are 9 of them). The simple quote however is valid.

*Good luck trying to create those files. Do they already exist? How do you expect to create them?

*It seems as you are already replying to your question. What specific difficulties are you having?

*As I read in the code, you are copying line by line from the source file into the target file. If you are renaming as stated in the title, you should use the File#renameTo(File) method. If you mean to copy the file, you should do by blocks, not lines. There is some new Files#copy(Path,Path,CopyOption...) in Java 8 NIO.

5 ways nonprofits can win at talent management in 2023
Vanessa Roberts | vroberts@federalnewsnetwork.com
For nonprofits, the pandemic and economic turbulence of the last few years have made it tough to find and keep staff at a time when many found their services in more demand. We get advice from Nonprofit HR and NELP on tackling talent management now.
There's no getting around it: The last couple of years have been challenging for human resources teams in the social impact sector — particularly recruiting and retaining talent.
Since 2020, nonprofits have seen "decreases in revenue, decreases in funding, decreases in opportunities to host fundraisers, which for many organizations is a revenue lifeline," said Lisa Brown Alexander, president and CEO of Nonprofit HR, a consulting firm supporting the talent management needs of social impact organizations. "We saw some contraction in where nonprofit organizations are financially. We also saw, on the reverse side of that, organizations seeing more demand for services, which led them to need to hire more people."
The impact of those realities is clear from Nonprofit HR's annual Talent Management Priorities Survey of leaders in social impact organizations, Alexander said.
HR leaders identified talent acquisition, performance management and talent-focused technology as their top three priorities this coming year. "That's different than what we heard in 2022," she said. "What we heard in 2022 was a focus on culture, learning and development, and performance management."
The priority shift to a focus on finding and keeping employees makes sense, adds Rebecca Dixon, executive director of the National Employment Law Project, an advocacy organization focused on racial and economic justice for Black and immigrant workers.
~70%
Percentage of their annual budget that nonprofits devote, on average, to labor. Therefore, "that labor expense really needs to be shored up and sustainable," notes Nonprofit HR CEO Lisa Brown Alexander.
SOURCE: Nonprofit HR
"In the last year or so, it tightened a lot because of the great resignation or great realignment — or whatever you want to call it — in the labor market, where people are leaving jobs and going to other jobs," Dixon said. "In our sector, that means there's competition for the best talent and also how you want to retain your talent as well."
We asked Alexander and Dixon to offer pointers on what nonprofit leaders and HR teams can do in the months ahead to help with talent management despite the challenges. Here are five tactics they suggested.
Talent 1: Focus on strategies to keep great talent
While recruiting and hiring new talent are often top of mind for HR teams, both Alexander and Dixon recommended giving retention equal time in 2023.
Nonprofits must retain the talent that they have, Alexander said. "Experienced talent is hard to come by, so employee retention is critical."
Plus, Dixon noted, it can have a downstream effect in an organization and lead to turnover. "If your organization is not doing the things that are important, like fostering leadership and development; making sure you have a positive, inclusive culture; you're not paying attention to your lifecycle for recruiting, hiring, onboarding — all of those things, what does equity look like and all of those things — then we know that it's usually the most marginalized workers that suffer," she said.
Tactic 2: Keep pace with your competitors
A crucial element to both retention and recruiting is understanding your particular social impact niche's pay and benefits landscape, Alexander said.
It's incumbent on the HR staff to check in with how the organization pays people and to ensure pay is competitive. "Because the nonprofit next door is paying attention and can lure your talent away with a richer, more generous benefit offering," she said.
Alexander also advises nonprofit leaders to make their "employer brand" a priority. "Think about your employer brand and how you show up as an employer," she said. "Monitor your reputation online. That can make or break whether or not someone will decide to join you. Continue to invest in the culture."
Yes, mission matters and attracts employees to social impact organizations, but a toxic work environment makes it hard to land and keep the best talent, she said.
Tactic 3: Invest in technology, particularly tech that supports your staff
Even NELP, which had moved to a hybrid environment well before the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, found itself having to make adjustments for communications and collaboration, Dixon said. That said, it did have the technology in place for most of its staff to work remotely.
But that is not common across the social impact sector as a whole, Alexander said. "Our experience is that the majority of organizations were not as prepared as NELP was, with both technology and the cultural shift from in person brick-and-mortar to a remote environment — and then just getting managers accustomed to working with people and managing performance from a distance," she said.
While NELP has tried to listen and respond to people's flexibility needs, Dixon said, "there has been something lost from us being completely remote and not being able to have those informal conversations in the elevator or at the at the coffee maker."
Nonprofits need to both invest in technology to make remote work and collaboration seamless but also focus on how staffs can build trust when people physically are together less, she said. "It's really that balancing act that we're trying to find and put our finger on what's the right balance."
As nonprofits continue to focus on their hybrid technology environments, they're also investing in digitizing HR systems and processes, Alexander said. "Fifty-five percent of organizations that responded to this year's survey are making it a priority to implement a human resources information system, that's essentially taking the paper files that they have and making them available remotely," she said.
Tactic 4: Be competitive in pay and benefits
Today's benefits packages reflect what's happening in the broad work world, Alexander said. The expectation of employees when it comes to benefits continues to evolve and change, sped up by recent world events.
"We know that organizations have really had to dial into things like wellness, flexibility, deeper investments in technology and what they provide people to be able to work effectively from home," she said. "Those are all considerations that employers and leaders need to be thinking about."
Dixon agreed and suggested also focusing on employees' career paths to make sure that people have meaningful opportunities. That approach, along with providing development programs and reflective supervision, has lessened turnover at NELP and "helped insulate us in this tight labor market," she said.
Tactic 5: Integrate diversity, equity and inclusion into your organization's talent management
As with benefits, employees' expectations on diversity, equity and inclusion continue to evolve within social impact organizations too, Alexander said.
In the "2023 Nonprofit Talent Management Priorities Survey," attracting and hiring diverse talent — across all demographics, including but not limited to race, age, gender, identity or differing abilities — was the main talent acquisition priority. Two-thirds, or 66%, of HR leaders ranked it on their Top 3 list.
That said, organizations are at different points on their DEI journeys, Alexander noted.
Dixon added that because of that, "it's very critical to be clear with folks about what you are trying to provide. If you are focused on diversity, equity and inclusion, what does that mean concretely? Let folks know what that means, and just be honest with candidates about your status and where you are in your journey."

Core talent management pillars of Nonprofit HR's services
Lisa Brown Alexander founded Nonprofit HR in 2000 to help nonprofits with talent management.
"It's the core and the lifeblood of every nonprofit. Whether they have a volunteer staff or paid staff, organizations can't exist without people. They're essential to the mission being delivered," Alexander said.
Originally a one-woman shop, the business today has offices on both the East and West coasts and with its staff of 140-plus provides services to nonprofits across the social impact sector.
The company has five practice areas:
Search: Helping organizations bring in talent.
HR Outsourcing: Providing human resources services to organizations that do not have internal HR teams.
Equity, diversity, inclusion and justice: Supporting organizations working to become more equitable, diverse and inclusive.
Total rewards: Guiding on pay and benefits to effectively recruit, hire and retain talent.
Strategy and advisory: Offering project-based support to launch or carry out programs.

Chelsea consider Premier League boss as alternative option to No.1 target Lampard
Chelsea FC Wolverhampton Wanderers
Chelsea are reportedly considering Wolves boss Nuno Espirito Santo as a potential alternative to Frank Lampard, who remains their priority candidate to replace Maurizio Sarri.
As noted by BBC Sport, the Italian tactician's exit for Juventus was confirmed on Sunday, as he lasted just one season at Stamford Bridge.
SEE MORE: Antonio Conte eyeing reunion with outgoing Chelsea stalwart at Inter this summer
In the circumstances, he arguably did a top job as he led Chelsea to a top-four finish in the Premier League while winning the Europa League, despite arriving late on last summer and facing significant scrutiny and criticism along the way as he tried to transform their style of play.
However, he will return to Italy ahead of next season, and so that leaves a post vacant in west London as the Blues look to appoint a boss capable of building on last year and coping with their transfer ban this summer.
According to The Times, Lampard remains the priority for them, as a return for the club legend would undoubtedly be a popular decision among the supporters.
Further, after impressing as Derby County manager last season, leading them to the Championship playoffs final with an impressive, attacking style of play, it appears as though Lampard could be fast-tracked into a major job despite his inexperience.
Should that move fail to materialise for whatever reason though, the Times add that Espirito Santo has emerged as an alternative option along with RB Leipzig's Ralf Rangnick.
As for the Portuguese tactician, after leading Wolves to promotion to the Premier League and enjoying a stellar campaign with them last time round, he has arguably done enough to warrant landing a job with one of the top clubs in England.
However, for now it sounds as though he is merely a Plan B for Chelsea, as they will continue to negotiate with Derby for Lampard to release him from Pride Park and allow him to seal a return to Stamford Bridge where he firmly established himself as a hero with the club's fans.

One of the first books I ever reviewed on this blog, back in 2011, was The Watchers by Jon Steele. It had a profound effect on me. I'm not normally a fantasy reader but that didn't seem to matter here as it slowly and magnificently pulled me out of the real tangible world around us into another side of life – one in which demons and angels walk among us, and have done through history, and where the future of humanity rests in the hands of the very few. It is a story carried out on two scales, one of which is enormous and apocalyptic and the other small and intimate. It continued with Angel City in 2013, a novel at least as good as its wonderful predecessor, and the Angelus trilogy is now completed with The Way of Sorrows. The Way of Sorrows is Jon Steele's masterpiece, but to appreciate it fully you must read the preceding two novels first – without them it would make little sense and, anyway, why deny yourself the pleasure? Now the trilogy is complete, you needn't wait two years between each book. They are yours for the taking.
Having said all that, please tread no further if you've not read The Watchers and Angel City. Spoilers for these are inevitable now that we reach the extraordinary climax.
As the novel opens, Katherine (Kat) Taylor has been separated from her son Max in a storm of violence that she can barely recall. He has been torn from her, their protectors slaughtered, and Kat is resigned to burying the dead bodies of people she knows she should remember, aware that something precious has been taken from her and trying hard to remember what. Kat is caught in a time bubble, another dimension that may ensnare her for eternity if it collapses before she is rescued. Jay Harper is Kat's guardian angel in more ways than one. He is a detective, working for the enigmatic Inspector Gobet, and Kat is in his charge. But Jay is recovering from an assault of his own, coming to awareness by Lausanne Cathedral, the home of the flame of life, guarded in its lantern by the watcher of the bells. There are casualties, the forces of evil are strong, and Jay needs help. It's just as well that it's at this point that Krinkle, the ex-roadie of the Grateful Dead, turns up and gives Jay the push he needs to pick himself up and rescue Kat and find Max.
What follows is an intense, at times traumatic, sometimes touching on the bizarre and always compelling journey to find Max and save him before he can be destroyed by Russian billionaire Komarovsky. In this universe, Russian billionaires are not all that they seem and this one is nothing at all as he seems. The climax when it comes is staggering, earth shattering and one of the most thrilling scenes that I've read, the action mixing with moments of sheer emotion and tenderness.
The Way of Sorrows is a beautifully-written novel that at times soars into poetry as it deals with some of the profound feelings of life. But there is a quirkiness to it that lifts the mood when needed and adds something very special indeed. How could there not be humour when one of the main characters is an irascible roadie? Kat has a fine sense of humour of her own – just as well in the circumstances – as does Jay. There are some fantastic set pieces but, really, everything is overshadowed by the gobsmacking conclusion that more than does justice to the trilogy.
Jon Steele knows how to write, he knows how to care, and he certainly knows how to write thrilling plot as well as poetic prose. His characters are delicately drawn, they're unconventional in more ways than one (not just in the obvious), and some of the minor characters are as memorable as the main. And there's another reason why I love The Ways of Sorrow so much – there is a touch of something scientific here, there is a reach out from the planet, an extra mystery that when it arrives makes perfect sense. I adored that. You must read more to discover why. I had just the one minor issue with The Way of Sorrows – it had been two years since I read Angel City and the opening of this novel made no allowances for the passage of time. The first few chapters are confusing. However, this passes and everything soon falls into place.
The Way of Sorrows is a powerful, ambitious novel, steeped in fantasy, legend and history, presenting a tensely dangerous, sometimes humorous and often tearfully moving world in which angels walk among us, albeit sometimes disguised as police and Grateful Dead roadies. The ending is spectacular and brilliantly located – a magnificent, fitting conclusion to a trilogy the like of which I doubt I'll read again.

Saturday Afternoon: The Problem With "Nice"
Published by carolyn on Sat, 2013-12-07 12:08
Click here to download podcast
Why "nice" is a weak concept among people in the desperate situation we are in. It allows questionable persons, events and organizations to pass unremarked upon because "it wouldn't be nice" to point out their less than confidence-building behavior. There are many, many like this and they don't want people noticing, so they rush to the defense of one-like-themselves who is being "investigated."
Carolyn points out that Adolf Hitler did not believe in "nice," but he spoke of the importance of selecting the right people who had the courage to make decisions, not for the benefit of an individual, but for the benefit of the whole. At that time, he did the first selecting, so it worked. Today, we don't have someone with his enormous talent and courage, but we could look to him as a model. Special topics covered:
John Friend and his emails: Carolyn responds to JF's blog post
The fallacy of thinking everyone is working for the same goal
Adolf Hiter's Platterhof Speech: How significant is it?

Original comments on this program
I missed about 25 minutes on the first hearing, but, I can comment that while my intuition is perhaps not as finely tuned as yours, I make up for it, if for no other reason than that time's a-wastin', by simply setting aside anyone who is fond of doting on the constructs and conceits of the Jews. That said, I would submit that the 'no planes' theory doesn't live or die based on whether John Friend likes it. I think it deserves a good hearing. Your show wasn't about 9-11 much, though, from what I heard. You do make me feel guilty for being ten pounds too heavy, though!
Thanks for the laugh, Burt. No, my issue with JF is not about 9/11 and I have written that elsewhere. Sorry to disappoint you on that score. I have never really talked about 9/11 at tWn or at Voice of Reason. I think it has become way too convoluted.
I appreciate your criticisms and I will use the points you brought up to clarify my own points in my next book. The speech was not "dug up in a cellar." It is in the German archives and has been cited by several prominent historians in the past.
In my own behalf, Wilf was okay with his name being in the book you mention here — he never objected and I have all of his emails saved in which he said it was fine. I pointedly asked him more than once if this was okay, so I do not know why he has backtracked. Perhaps he wishes to distance himself from my analysis, which is fine, but he is not being honest in this regard. Moreover, I am always very clear about who writes and translates what in each of my books. None of them are frauds, as you wrote. I have had to do a lot of translating myself since Wilf's original drafts are nearly unreadable in English.
You are incorrect that I "disappeared." I simply ceased doing radio shows owing to the repeated attacks I received on the grizzom blog describing me as a "c*nt" and "muzzie lover," among other things. One gal on YouTube called me a "stupid lil catholic c*nt." As such, I simply prefer not to speak to those who think like this. They would not stop posting my shows on grizzom, hence my "disappearance" from Deanna's fine and respectable show.
Thank you for reading the part about Hitler saying that a folk is composed of many racial nuclei. That there is his admission that Germans are mixed race, not pure race.
Take care and all the best.
Carolyn,
I liked the views you brought to the subject of "nice" and white gullibility this time. I also liked that you stated the obvious: we have no leaders in this movement, and little (may be only a little) can be accomplished without one.
You handle conflict or being attacked quite well, and that is what is necessary.
How can anyone lead a movement where every other statement or assertion coming out of said leader needs to be monitored for its "sensitivity" to others.
Men and women alike need to develop the ability to screen out the irrelevant and focus on the goals more, but, like you said, many are not even working towards the same goals.
I really found your discussion over Veronica Clark's books well worth the time spent listening to you analyze her work.
I thought I found the original Platterhof speech Hitler gave online, and I read it beforehand in order to better appreciate what you might have to say about. I remember you did say that the speech is not online. I will provide the link to a huge PDF of all Hitler's speeches and the Platterhof speech is there around page 925.
The thing is the speech doesn't wholly resemble the Platterhof speech you recited from Veronica Clark's book, and while you wondered whether Clark's excerpt was the genuine speech from Hitler, I wondered whether the one I had read in the PDF file in the morning before your radio program was the original one — or whether it too was just another plagiarism.
http://nsl-archiv.com/Buecher/Fremde-Sprachen/Adolf%20Hitler%20-%20Collection%20of%20Speeches%201922-1945%20(EN,%20993%20S.,%20Text).pdf
At any rate, it was two hours that went by swiftly for me, and thanks for making it pleasurably educational.
Hello VKC! I do appreciate you commenting on what you think are mistakes in my rendition of Wilf's recall. First, you misinterpreted "seller" for "celler". What Wilf said was "discovered a seller of old documents, not "old documents in a cellar." You did say in the book, that the Platterhof document can be obtained from the Institut für Zeitgeschichte. If that is the case, why is it not on the Internet? Perhaps because no one wanted to translate it into English? I find that hard to believe. Does the above-named Institut claim it to be authentic or questionable? I believe it must be the latter, but I would like your answer.
I simply ceased doing radio shows owing to the repeated attacks I received on the grizzom blog describing me as a "c*nt" and "muzzie lover," among other things.
If you consider name-calling on a blog comments page to be "attacks" that cause you to cease doing radio, you are way too delicate. Terrible things are said about me also at Grizzon, even worse. These are common trolls who don't want people to listen to us. I thought you were protecting yourself too much when you wouldn't allow Deanna to take phone calls when you were on. That way you don't have to answer questions about the accuracy of what you're saying. I wanted to call in and question some things.
Okay, I see now what you're trying to do with this book. You think this part discredits the idea of race in Hitler's mind … that he no longer had the same ideas on race? You are doing what I wrote to you that you were doing in your article on "Black Nazis" that was published in the Inconvenient History Journal a few years ago. You are claiming as "evidence" something(s) that is not evidence. You did it over and over, and now you're doing it here.
The idea of "pure race" does not come from the Nat-Socialists but from their enemies. What group of people today is "pure?" What does pure even mean. It also involves the distinction between "race" and "folk." Hitler said the volk is made up of several racial strains, as I recall. In order to push an image of Adolf Hitler as you want him to be, you resort to this kind of dishonesty, but luckily your books don't sell very well.
Now, would you please tell me, and others who are interested, if you have denounced National-Socialism? Or is that said just for the benefit of your attackers? I suspect your answer is yes, that you reject Nat-Soc but not Hitler. You want to persuade people that Hitler grew past his own earlier beliefs, even growing past his own creation, the NSDAP? If so, that is just a leap in the dark on your part.
Rodney Martin
Veronica Clark or Emma Goldman (she has used both names on radio) is making a very clever attempt at semantics. She omits key points that conflict with her attempt to blend multiculturalism into Third Reich Lore. Hitler's very first speech to the "German Workers Party" was in opposition to Bavarian succession from Germany, he said, "we are all Germans", meaning Bavarians were German, just as Prussians. He felt the same regarding Austrians and Germans scattered as far as the Volga. Hitler was a Nordic, in terms of Racial Worldview, his views on Negrids is well documented, i.e. He did NOT have the same opinion of blacks as Veronica, his comments regarding the mulatto offspring of French Moroccan troops in the Ruhr is an example and his description of "nigger musik" is another. Simply put, Veronica's statement that Hitler's speech codifies her "Black Nazi" narrative, is intellectually dishonest and doesn't stand up to historical fact. Frankly anyone who states they are a proud supporter of the SPLC (as Veronica has) simply is NOT credible on any aspect of the Third Reich, it is liking asking a Jew about the Holocaust Fraud. By the way, regarding "Black Nazis", "Nazi is not an accurate term in the first place, but I have yet to find a single NON-Aryan member of the NSDAP recorded any where.
Thanks very much Charles. I appreciate your words.
What is on that PDF is only a small section of a much, much larger talk, many pages long. I do recognize that part. And the translation captures a more dramatic Hitler, in a more natural form of English. I only read a small part of it on the program.
Wilf's translation is a first draft, pretty much … not saying he didn't do it well, but it's probably not put into the best English. It must have been very time-consuming as it was.
Translations are very difficult to get just right – lots of work, and can vary so much. It's probably good that is true, proving that each language is unique. Wilf is not a professional, so the question comes up: If Veronica edited it to the degree she says, how reliable is the version she has in her book? Of course, I think we have the basic ideas in Wilf's translation, but probably doesn't give the full flavor … as they say. There are many idioms in every language.
It isn't really normal as a comment, but may I just thank Rodney Martin for dropping by, as I always enjoy hearing him and knowing that he is up to good stuff.
Answers to your questions would require that I divulge a significant amount of personal information, as well as sources, which I do not wish to do. They are all listed in my books in the footnotes and end notes. As well, the answers are too involved for a single blog post.
As for my analysis of Hitler's speech, which was praised by my master's thesis adviser, I stand by it.
We're going to have to agree to disagree at this point. I stand by my work and you may stand by yours.
Charles Steiner, didn't you post this PDF on Scribd:
http://www.scribd.com/doc/31032442/Nazi-German-Armed-Forces-Affirmative-Action
Your photo used to be beside this PDF and I saved that head shot.
Nope. Not me. Never was me. I have never posted a PDF on Scribd. I am not even a subscriber and never was.
During my Alan Watt phase of alternative news listening five years ago, I would find Alan Watt posting books and PDFs on Scribd or someone who wanted others to think the profile belonged to Alan Watt. Lots of chicanery goes on on the web, don't you know.
You can save the head shot (if you really have one) for as long as you like, VKC. I didn't put it up. I'm not even Polish.
But that was a nice try, though. Ha ha ha.
Thank you Burt, and I apologize for my typos, I was cooking as I was typing I might add, praise by a Master's Thesis Adviser means nothing, the fact is Veronica's "thesis" is wrong. A Masters Thesis can be praised as to form and substance and still be absolutely incorrect, Carolyn demonstrated this by using the speech itself. I will agree that the Platterhoff Speech was excellent, it showed Hitler's resolve, especially given the stage of the war, however he did not announce any shift or compromise on his racial views. I might add Hitler reaffirmed his firm racial worldview in his Political Testament the day before he and his wife ended their lives, commanding his successors to remain committed to the racial policies enacted during the regime. Hitler meant what he said.
Who is Veronica Clark? that thumbnail isn't her, it's a German singer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_o4cRv39sZE – who's supposedly a male, but appears to be a female that uses male hormones.
Veronica Clark is someone who likes to keep people guessing.
Thanks for that information, Dick.
@Charles Steiner
Just asking. I thought I saw your name and photo beside it, but if you say you did not upload it I believe you.
@Dick
Yes, the avatar is Bill Kaulitz whose twin brother is Tom.

That so called Platterhof speech is fake.
When you have an army of conscript soldiers and one of them says, "I will not kill anyone. So I refuse to fight. It is against my religion!",
the answer is, " That is quite all right. We understand. You will take one end of a stretcher and tend to the wounded on the battle field."
It goes without saying. That is one of the most dangerous places to be on any battlefield!
Now Hitler had himself spent a lot of time scurrying around the battlefield in WW1 for which he was awarded two Iron Crosses. Both he and his alleged audience of officers would all have known that is how to deal with conscientious objectors.
I can't imagine Hitler setting out to make himself look a complete idiot in front of all those officers!
Just as the Hitler diaries turned out to be fake, this speech is also fake.
The faker attempts to set out to make Hitler appear a thoroughly ruthless and callous bastard. Also never spent time in any army. Plus trying to sell the thing for a large sum. It all smells of Kikery to me.
VKC – I am not clear, since your websites keep going down, what your position is on "The Holocaust." This is important in relation to your position on N-S Germany. And just to be clear, if you won't answer this question either, then I won't post any more comments from you.
Clarification necessary: Listening to this program today, I realized I had not made my comments about Deanna Spingola's words to me clear. The only comment she told me she made to her "chat room" was the one about JF "slithering into the Truth Movement." The other comments were made only to me in an email, totally voluntarily given, on Dec. 4th, when she wrote to me saying she liked my Mon. Dec. 1st program.
Grizzom was quite a hatefest at one point. Veronica wasnt the only one who couldnt handle the abuse. Quite a few male hosts asked for their shows to be removed. It's a lot more civilised now since they banned anonymous comments. Seems to me that Veronica has identity issues, she claims to be a Paleoliberal on her blog.
Where the heck is her blog? Everything I see has been "taken down"
@Nemeth
I announced I have long been Paleoliberal on Deanna's show. It is no secret.
VKC – Paleoliberals "tend to be opposed to war, police powers and victimless crimes. They generally believe in protecting personal liberty, both through individualism and state protection. They support self-ownership and privacy. According to Michael Lind, in the late 1960s and early 1970s many "anti-Soviet [American] liberals and social democrats in the tradition of Truman, Kennedy, Johnson, Humphrey and Henry ("Scoop") Jackson… preferred to call themselves 'paleoliberals'"; according to Lind, roughly this group of people later became known as the neoconservatives. The term was used by Alexander Rüstow, to describe ardent laissez-faire liberals like Ludwig von Mises and Friedrich Hayek.
None of this sounds even remotely like Hitler. But tell me, what is the Paleoliberal stance toward "The Holocaust?"
Simply put, people who identify as "Paleoliberal" are really Hyper-Libertarians who suffer from from historical, racial, and cultural schizophrenia.
That is a misrep of Paleoliberalism. Try this:
http://libertapedia.org/wiki/Paleoliberalism
As for the NSDAP not adhering to "pure race" notions at any point, I refer you to this:
http://www.stevenbooks.co.uk/product/product&path=344&product_id=1390
By Dr. A.J. Gregor
"This serious look at the racial policies of the 3rd Reich explains how the vague ideas of Adolf Hitler in the early years of his political struggle developed in the 1930s into an exaggerated obsession with Nordicism. This occured quite separately and with the disapproval of many of the National Socialist leaders. By the late 1930s a far more rational view became official policy. The entire history of these developments are explained by Dr Gregor. What is important about this work is that it refutes the silly media and propaganda allegations by the court historians and demolishes all the lurid tales of "Blond beasts" and "Master races". Over 100 footnotes are provided giving references and sources."
The last point I must add is that Friedrich Berg translated several complicated portions of the speech. The version you read contains Berg's work, not just Heink's.
You do not have to publish this comment; it is FYI. I'll leave that up to you.
This is my final post.
Caroline, you've suggested, implied or insinuated that John Friend is a jew. You've also told us that Deanna Spingola has told you that she thinks he's a jew.
You spent a good amount of time in that first hour talking about how you trust your feeling, and why, on these types of issues, etc. Nothing wrong with all that. It's just you telling us or just sounding off on what you really feel.
I've been listening to John Friend's podcasting on a regular basis now for a few months. I certainly don't agree with a good deal of his material and of his guests. As you note, he has an agreeableness with his guests that I also often find strange, sycophantic and just a big suck-up.
You made several observations about him, ranging from, his very name, 'Friend', him being a bit overweight bringing out a possible jewish appearance, choice of guests and topics, wanting to join up with other White nationalists (I assume as some kind of infiltrator) etc., to support your opinion of his jewishness or his jew agenda.
The sum total of all this "circumstantial" evidence does, or could, lead one to your suspicions. On the other hand there are innocent explanations for each bit of his behavior. That your insinuations are off track.
You are an established figure in the White movement, and given the seriousness of your accusations, you really need to give more solid reasons for your opinions on John Friend. So far we have your general feelings, suspicions, and what Spingola has told you.
I think he's just a young guy trying to explore the nationalist scene, being Mr Nice guy, and getting carried away with crazy seductive theories. On the other hand maybe my jewdar isn't developed enough.
My first response, Katana, is that I wish men would stop calling me Caroline and Carol, when my name is clearly spelled everywhere by me as Carolyn. Sometimes I correct these mistakes myself before publishing. Is there any significance to this lapse?
Please understand that I am not using Deanna's remarks as any kind of basis for my own "feeling." Basically I put the name Friend together with his choice of friends and collaborators, his very quick "conversion" to various "movements" within this larger truth movement, and I come up with "he could be a Jew" and "I see more and more signs that he is consistently too favorable to Jews" even while he is (in a rote, very standard fashion) blaming Jews for everything bad that has happened.
There is no originality in J. Friend, but he makes himself plenty well known by leaving one-sentence comments all over the Internet, the "Great job – signed John Friend" type. Early on, he had to have his own radio program, and then his own network. He has "on purpose" made himself at home on Rense (not an easy feat), and somehow connected with Jim Fetzer as a "Father figure" – Fetzer being closely associated with Gordon Duff/Veterans Today. He's also 'just a boy from Nebraska' who, after college at U of Neb., selects to go live in San Diego, one of the most expensive areas in the country where he gets a modest job, has an affair with a Philipino girl which results in a child. His ambition is: What? To join the 9/ll Truth movement and bring justice and purity back to the USA?
You are not an American, katana. Maybe you don't understand what makes sense in this country and what doesn"t.
P.S. Edit: On Saturday's program, I was answering what JF had written in his blog about me. I wasn't attempting to do a total "job" on him that explains everything. I don't think he is worth the time and I expect some other people will take up this issue also. If not, and if most, like you, feel good about JF, so be it. I would like to sharpen people's critical faculties, mainly.
Might be, JoshuaF. I appreciate you adding this pov here.
Looks like Dr. A. J. Gregor is saying in "National Socialism and Raace" that the NSDAP's notion of race went through three distinct phases.
http://dienekes.110mb.com/texts/natsoc/
Thanks for your reply Carolyn and your further info on JF.
Sorry about misspelling your name. I've known a couple of Caroline's and even shared a house with one many years ago. That's my excuse.
With JF, for me, it's not a matter of feeling good about him. In fact I've always been a touch suspicious. When he was 'outed' and lost his job nearly a year ago, I think, I thought the whole thing had earmarks of a setup for him to gain credibility. In any case I stopped listening to him until recently where he's had more interesting guests and topics that have appealed to me.
He comes across as quite sincere in what he says, yet as you imply, if viewed through a disinfo, jew filter a lot about him doesn't add up, or does add up if you like.
In any case you've raised the alarm through expressing your real concerns. Maybe you're right about him, but I'm leaning the other way for now.
I have to say, I do admire your steadfastness while under fire by all your detractors on the various forums.
Our race is being destroyed in our faces by jew scheming. We don't have the luxury to play nice.
I have to say, I do admire your steadfastness while under fire by all your detractors on the various forums. -katana
Thanks katana. I appreciate your intelligent, thoughtful comments. I have been under fire from detractors for a long time. I don't pay any attention anymore as they are mostly jew trolls. Or they are groupies from the chat rooms of people like Charlie Guiliani, Jim Condit and other characters.
I just took another look at JF's comment section for his blog post on me (Regarding Carolyn Yeager) and found these gems (and after John announced "no more name-calling, no more annonymous"):
AnonymousDecember 6, 2013 at 8:23 PM
Cheers again John – I just realized I called Carolyn Yeager a duplicitous skank. I suppose that may run afoul of your prohibition against derogatory language. If so, I apologize.
I'm finding it difficult to select descriptive words for Yeager that aren't derogatory. Hmmm..
Well, Carolyn seems to be a very choleric and bitter, old lady. Would you consider the word "old" to be derogatory?
Do you suppose this could be symptomatic of menopause? I would think that Yeager would have passed through that stage long ago – so maybe that's not it.
Maybe she's just pissed because you're encroaching on her "turf". Perhaps she views your young, energetic, intelligent investigation of historical issues as threatening to her little pathetic throne upon which she sits along with her numerous cats.
Of course, I'm just speculating now….
John Friend December 8, 2013 at 12:35 AM
Yeah, there is absolutely no need to stoop to Yeager's level with the ad hominem attacks and character assassinations. There is plenty to criticize without resorting to name calling.
This proves John "I am so pure" Friend to be a jewified and duplicitous person. Here's another one, and I'm just copying these today so at this hour he has not removed them (tho he probably will if/when he sees this) BTW, we're on Eastern time here:
buelahman December 7, 2013 at 4:43 AM
The QueenHag has spoken, so STFU, fat Jew boy.
(snark)
You look old, huh? and out of shape?
This is pretty funny coming from an old pitiful, fat hag. A self-important hag who feels she is the gatekeeper of some sort of movement. I actually heard her say on an interview somewhere [haha, a little proof please -cy] that she needs to go to different blogs (including yours) [Truth: I have never posted anything on JR's blog, always use my own name, and could not figure out where to post this comment today and could not even find an "Annoymous" option although most post there as Annonymous (??) -cy] and and point out where she disagrees (you know, put her seal of approval or disapproval on the content). As if anyone other than an ass-kissing sycophant could give a rat's ass what she thinks.
Her taint destroys her knowledge of certain subjects (which I agree she is knowledgeable about Hitler, the NSDAP and some other areas), but if a person has to fight to gain her "approval" and acceptance into her delusional little hate-filled world, it simply is not worth the effort.
You and I don't agree on everything, but I feel that you do things for the right reasons. I feel as if your radio programs dwarf hers (and the Prostinkers). I feel that your radio personality is far more amiable and fair than the hag's 80 year old sounding scratch. Your program is far more entertaining than anything I ever heard from all of those nut jobs, even on the issues I disagree with, especially the hag's shows.
In some ways, you have a similar approach that DeAnna has (and I happen to be a fan of hers, as well).
I do not see this divide as detrimental. I see it as progress, for I have been saying these freaks are more involved in hate and divide than truth.
Like I said on the previous post, f#ck 'em and feed 'em fish heads.
Thanks B'Man! No need to stoop to their level and name call though.
Much of it was tongue-in-cheek, you know, what is good for the goose is good for the gander type of rhetoric.
Although, I have responded to her in another comment section quite some time ago, calling her a "hag". Unfortunately, I am giving hags a bad rap.
BTW: I listen to Spingola's programs with yours in my travels. I have never heard her mention you as a Jew. Not defending her, but I have heard most of her programs.
I think this is all good, where my friend Noor doesn't like the divide (I was recently written about at that stalwart "Truther"'s site, the new ZCF)
(again, snark).
I think it is imperative to point out those who appear compromised.
I don't know if Yeager has any ulterior motive, other than just being a bitch. But I do think the others you have written about lately have such an ulterior motive (and its not just about personality).
In any event, there are far better sources for the information that Yeager provides and one doesn't have to listen to fingers on a blackboard to get it.
You are one of those sources.
Now, what am I going to do with all these fish heads?
I believe the next one is from Margaret Huffstickler (sp) because she said exactly the same thing when she called into John's "Aftermath" program. It pretty much gives it away, lol. I'd like to say that Nahum Goldmann and Chaim Weizmann "planning" (for) the postwar war crimes trials and the extraction of reparations, in 1941-42, does not qualify as a "PSYOP." It was not a secret what the Jews wanted out of the war.
It's interesting that Carolyn takes such umbrage at the idea that the Holo-massive criminal fraud (I don't like to call it a "hoax" — too innocuous) was a psy-op. She seems to think it just somehow "happened", and was not planned in advance.
ON THE CONTRARY — like everything those scumbags do, it was certainly planned in advance, and how is inciting apart of the European community to committing mass murder against the rest and then guilting them all into committing mass suicide not a psy-op? Nahum Goldmann stated clearly that he and Chaim Weizmann had planned the postwar war crimes trials and the extraction of "reparations" early in the war, before the "holocaust" had allegedly even started.
I'm considering writing my own blog post on John's dishonesty and immaturity. There is tons of it.
Konrad Rhodes
Dear Carolyn,
I just wanted to comment that I found myself amazed when you describe your feelings of intuition during your life and how so often when you perhaps ignored these feelings and then were able to be convinced or persuaded that the person was otherwise from your intuition that a series of interactions/events occurred in which you ultimately found your original intuition proven right! This is so much what has been the case with me throughout life that I too have so often found myself regretting that I so seldom trust my intuition particularly that comes with first impressions of people. It is only because I often enough don't have any immediate impression of many people, perhaps because I just dismiss them or am caught up in something or there is no real impression to received that I still tend to allow myself to be persuaded by people who I just know, like I am seeing it with my minds eye, are a certain way or ways. At times I knew so much, saw all the negative behaviors and thought patterns of people the moment I first made eye contact with them! only to dismiss them and find every bit of what I knew intuitively was spot on!
I never have understood where this comes from and I prefer not to be cocky and full of myself so I too seldom assume I am right based on intuition. Though I still think people can choose to change, though most often they don't or not quickly enough to avoid coming into conflict with them at a personal level, but certain character traits of people just do not change.
Hitler, I have read and heard in various written accounts and in video interviews of those who knew him is said to have had piercing blue eyes that looked & into through people while also having an immediate sense of any subject up for discussion and understand intimately and so immediately most subjects new to him that it astonished those in his circle. Now I am not saying that the intution you described is the same or at least not at all the same level or quality as that of Der Fuhrer but I see it as being an Aryan quality that other races and most White people even never quite develop let alone grasp.
Perhaps it is odd but that is what I wanted to comment on and that struck me so much.
Just to add to this VKC and multi-racialist Third Reich military theme she pushes it is unfortunate that when she quotes the numbers of South Americans even that volunteered she seems to omit the details such as that these were White men almost entirely of Spanish descent. Santiago, Chile had a thriving "Nazi" community before any former German soldiers fled there after WWII that was made up of such 'Visigoths' as Miguel Serrano who edited La Nueva Edad and of course those 58 men who died in the Seguro Obrero massacre.

The only paleoliberal linked to on that page is Tammy Bruce. Clicking on her name takes you to Libertapedia's page on Bruce. It says:
Tammy Bruce is an author and political commentator. She also hosts a syndicated talk radio show, in the United States. She is described on her website as "an openly gay, pro-choice, gun owning, pro-death penalty, voted-for-President Reagan progressive feminist". A lifelong Democrat, she is a self-described classical liberal. A paleoliberal, most of her views are sharply at odds with the positions of Democratic or liberal activists, whom have embraced the socialist undertone of most modern liberals.
From 1990 to 1996, Bruce served as president of the Los Angeles chapter of the National Organization for Women (the longest continuous tenure in the chapter's history) and mobilized activists locally and nationally on a whole range of issues, including women's image in media, child care, health care, violence against women, economics, and domestic violence.
So I guess that puts the final pieces of the puzzle of VKC together. Explains why she uses that transvestite singer Bill Kaulitz as her current avatar. She likes him! But I guess none of it ever bothered Deanna.

Thanks for coming back. So what is it that you like about these characters? They don't interest me in the least little bit. And why do you want to write and talk about Adolf Hitler when these are the people you identify with? You are indeed not only bizarre, but unreal.
Tammy Bruce is given as the only example of a prominent paleoliberal on the page you told me to read. Her name was hyperlinked to her blog. http://tammybruce.com/ Check it out.
Here are some more Anonymous jew trolls that John Friend tolerates (welcomes!) on his Blog, while he says he doesn't. They indicate the level of discourse of John's supporters. Does he expect these trolls are going to monitor themselves?!** LOL. These two are posts from 5 days ago! It's just more evidence that JF is a dishonest and immature person.
Why do you suppose Carolyn Yeager is so angry and nasty?
Could it possibly have anything to do with the fact that she never married and never had any children?
Now, why is that? Could it possibly be due to her nasty disposition and utter rudeness? Or is she nasty and rude because she never married and never had any children? [I did marry, so this qualifies as a typical jew fantasy -cy)
Ok - here's the real question: how many cats does she have? 20? 25?
She has repeatedly tried to hook up with white nationalist & revisionist men and failed. One in particular was Lon Kramer. [Lon Kramer! Years ago he got drunk and just about had a nervous breakdown when I told him I wasn't going to meet up with him. It was Friedrich Paul Berg who wanted me to get to know his friend Lon so I emailed with him for awhile, and he also called me. Ask Fritz. -cy] She also emails people in the movement to get them to send her personal information about real and perceived enemies of white nationalism. [Name one example, you pos. -cy]
One revisionist I know personally described her as "a nutcase." [haha, you don't know a single real "revisionist]
She is a bigot. She proclaims the white motherhood deal while she herself can't even get her hooks into one white man. I think she has a "thing" for Anglin though. She talks about him as though he's the second coming. [Unworthy of comment]
So this is what John Friend allows to sit on his blog for 5 days! This tells you everything you need to know about this fake "I have never done anything against anybody" Christian. Like some others I could name, he lets others do the dirty work for him.
** Permanent statement from JF's comment page: Thanks for reading! If you feel compelled to comment, please do. But please – no ad hominem attacks.

Dr A.J. Gregor wrote,
"The tactical expression of this theoretical difficulty revealed itself in a manner which demanded immediate resolve. While it was true that a "true" Nordic (Nordic genotype) could not be distinguished from a "pseudo" Nordic (Nordic only in physical type) it seemed reasonable (at least to Guenther) to presume that where one found a higher incidence of Nordic morphological traits one would find a higher incidence of Nordic psychic traits. Now as long as this remained vague and general not much objection could be raised against it. But again Guenther insisted on "there is but one equality of birth: that based on the equal purity clusion." "From the racial standpoint," he informed his readers, "there is but one equality of birth: that based on the equal ***PURITY of Nordic blood***. Racially the nobleman of mixed race is ***NOT*** of equal birth with a Nordic peasant girl." (89) Thus those who display Nordic physical features must be considered "most worth-while" (90) while mixed types, no matter what their station or capacity, are correspondingly inferior.
Thus although we cannot definitively identify a "PURE" Nordic we can identify hybrids (people under 170cm. in height, whose cephalic index is over 76, whose nasal index is platyrrhine, whose facial index is under (90), whose hair is brunet or whose eyes are hazel or brown, who are not slender, nor have thin lips nor firm chin). These, Guenther tells us, we must painfully identify as bastards, (91) and as such second class citizens – inferior in worth to the (at least physically) ***"PURE"*** Nordic." (emphasis added)

"By the way, regarding "Black Nazis", "Nazi is not an accurate term in the first place, but I have yet to find a single NON-Aryan member of the NSDAP recorded any where."
The "Black Nazis" title comes straight from this Ken magazine article (I possess an actual copy of this 1939 edition of Ken):

As for Mr Martin's other comment…
Ahmed Al-Akhdary ("Dory"), a Lebanese man who worked and lived in the Third Reich from 1936 to 1939, was interviewed by Moustafa Assad in 1989. Dory's interview was published by historian Antonio J Munoz in his book "The East Came West". Dory informed Assad that he was a member of the NSDAP. He was also recruited by the SS and Germany Army to do special missions.

Okay, VKC, if you post these links here so we can see where you get your information from. Of course there is some little truth in it, but you know that it is all peripheral to Hitler's main aims for National-Socialism.
"Of course there is some little truth in it, but you know that it is all peripheral to Hitler's main aims for National-Socialism."
Carolyn, I'll hand you that this "internationalism" (for lack of a better term) was never the initial intent of the NS movement. But I never said that it was. None of my books assert this either.
I do not intend to encroach on the white movement in any way, as I have never been part of it nor am I interested in it. Having said that, I do have a serious question for you and others in this movement: What makes white nationalists (the white network, if you will) think that they can succeed where Hitler himself failed?
VKC,
Something new is in the air. Where people once identified themselves as German, Italian, Greek, and so on, albeit White, the spreading of consciousness to belonging to a distinct and singular race broadens the playing field greatly. One individual or one ethnic group is no longer an island. This, coupled with awareness of the weaknesses within the race — pathological altruism and gullibility, for instance, greatly enhances chances for winning a battle that Hitler lost perhaps due to some of these same weaknesses. At least, these two developments are what have inspired me, and I do not think I am alone in this assessment. Political consciousness of race matters on a global scale was something Hitler had in situ, embryonically.
Hadding
My impression is that Hitler was not the kind of person who would hesitate and censor himself to make sure that everything he said was consistent. I think many of his statements just reflected his mood at the moment. Consequently when he says that he would not have undertaken Operation Barbarossa if he had known, etc., you have to consider the context in order to judge whether it really meant anything and how much weight to give to it.
There was no choice about Operation Barbarossa, because the Red Army was poised to attack. http://national-socialist-worldview.blogspot.com/2010/11/hitlers-policy-toward-ussr-justified.html
As for the story (cited by VKC) of the Lebanese Ahmed Al-Akhdary who had lived in Germany three years and claimed fifty years later in 1989 that he had joined the NSDAP, that story makes no sense on its face. If all the evidence for the story is that he said so, the simple explanation is that it is not true.


Landis Construction is a successful 50-year-old family-owned construction company that needed a RFQ (Request For Qualifications) that would truly stand out from the pack when submitted for highly-contested bids. We worked with Landis and their joint-venture partners to develop a "document strategy" that called for us to create a sophisticated design that pushed the brand's look-and-feel forward. Landis' in-house marketing team was then provided with the RFQ bid's file in InDesign® to use as a template for future RFPs and SOQs (Statement of Qualifications).


Five years ago, the Station Fire ravaged through hundreds of thousands of acres of the Angeles National Forest, killing two firefighters and destroying more than 100 homes and structures.
Several Los Angeles County Fire Department officials including Chief Daryl L. Osby met with Supervisor Michael D. Antonovich on Friday to honor the memory of Fire Captain Ted Hall and Fire Fighter Specialist Arnie Quinones, who lost their lives while fighting the fire.
"Ted and Arnie will be remembered as proud, cherished family men, and courageous firefighters who were steadfast in their quest for excellence, hard work and completion of the mission," Antonovich said.
The firefighters were killed about 2:30 p.m. Sunday when their vehicle rolled off a mountainside road in the Angeles National Forest, south of Acton near Mount Gleason, fire officials said, according to an NBC Los Angeles article. Quinones, 35, of Palmdale and Hall, 47, of San Bernardino County were supervising an inmate work crew at a remote prison camp.
Officials believe the men may have been searching for an escape route for the three corrections workers, other fire personnel and 55 inmates who were stationed at the camp.
They were "apparently taking action to protect the camp facilities and personnel," county Fire Chief Michael Freeman said in a statement, according to an NBC Los Angeles report. Hall had been with county fire for 26 years, while Quinones had been with the department for eight years.
"You knew, as we said goodbye to Ted and Arnie each day that it might be for the last time. You knew that they might not come home. You lived everyday with that uncertainty," said Arnold Schwarzenegger, who was governor of California at the time. "You still supported them and the work that they loved so much -- and the work that kept us all safe."
The Station Fire began on Aug. 30, 2009 and is known as one of the largest fires in Los Angeles County history, reaching more than 160,000 acres.
More than 3,000 fire personnel battled the flames for nearly a month, costing more than $80 million dollars to fight.
At the peak of the fire, air operations consisted of 23 helicopters, 8 tankers, 2 DC-10 air tankers, the 747 supertanker and the Martin Mars super scooper.
The Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors unanimously approved Los Angeles County Fire Department recommendations to the Forest Service on how to prevent future catastrophes a few months after the Station Fire.
The recommendations included nighttime air attacks, procedural changes, tougher brush clearance requirements and the use of mechanized firefighting equipment.
Police did question a man seen in the area when the Station Fire erupted.
Babatunsin Olukunle was taken into custody following a news conference to announce that he'd been seen in the area of the blaze dubbed the Lady Bug fire, according to an NBC Los Angeles report. It burned only a small patch of scrub but was less than a week before the devastating Station Fire and only six miles away.
"We are going to talk to him about the Station fire, but we're not going to list him as a suspect [in that fire] just yet," Lt. Liam Gallagher told the LA Times.
Olukunle was eventually charged with one felony count of unlawfully causing a fire in a national forest, officials said. He later pleaded not guilty.

Growing up as two young musicians playing different instruments, Jared (drums) and Trevor (piano and guitar) Gould have been playing music together for the majority of their lives. When they were young, they moved to Cumberland, Rhode Island to a street called Fairhaven Road (inspiration for the band name) where Jared met his lifelong best friend, Alan Connell. Alan began playing guitar and singing and after a while, he, Jared, and Trevor became a solid three-piece group. After years of experimenting with different bands and band members, the three-piece now known as Fairhaven recently acquired bass player Nick Pagano whose outstanding talents brought the band to a new level.
Fairhaven has recently recorded their first EP called "Catch", which exemplifies their diverse Alternative rock sound through its three songs: Singularity, Reunion, and Catch. With influences from such bands as Third Eye Blind, Incubus, Coldplay, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Death Cab For Cutie and many more, Fairhaven's new music has spread quickly throughout the local music scene with nothing but positive feedback. They are currently working hard to promote their new EP while playing as many shows as they can, with the possibility of recording a full-length album in the near future. The immediate success that "Catch" has brought Fairhaven shows good signs for the future of this young and talented rock band.

Bonnaroo 2021 competition canceled after Hurricane Ida flooded campsites
By Mitchel On Sep 1, 2021
Pack up the tent, Bonnaroo believers. The upcoming four-night music festival will not take place this weekend.
The organizers of the Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival canceled the four-day event due to heavy rains from Hurricane Ida, which settled on Tuesday to a tropical depression status.
The rain came in late Monday and lasted all Tuesday, resulting in oversaturated tollbooths and flooded campsites "so that we are unable to drive or park vehicles safely," a Bonnaroo statement said.
"We are absolutely heartbroken to have to inform you that we have to cancel Bonnaroo," said the festival on Tuesday via Twitter. "While the weather looks great this weekend, Centeroo is wet in many areas right now."
The statement went on to say, "We have done everything in our power to try to move the show forward, but (Mother Nature) has inflicted a tremendous amount of rain on us in the past 24 hours and we are no longer able to Trying to do this will ensure that the event is safe and does justice to the Bonnaroo experience. "
The latest on Hurricane Ida:Death toll reaches 4; Millions remain without electricity; Governor Edwards warns: "Now is really the most dangerous time"
Bonnaroo is set in Manchester, Tennessee, about 70 miles south of Nashville. The region expected the remains of Ida to receive three to six inches of rain.
Sam Herron, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Nashville, said Tuesday that nearly four inches of rain had fallen in the Manchester area.
"Of course it's still raining down there, so there will probably be a quarter of an inch of rain by evening," said Herron.

This is the second Bonnaroo in a row that has been canceled. The festival in 2020 was postponed by three months due to the coronavirus pandemic and then ultimately canceled. When Bonnaroo revealed plans to return in 2021, it was for September – the first time the festival was held outside of June.
Bonnaroos Post says that all tickets purchased through Front Gate Tickets (i.e. directly through the festival) will be refunded "in just 30 days to the original payment method".
While the cancellation was a shock to many, there were warning signs from Sunday when Bonnaroo announced that the opening of the campsite would be postponed for a day due to the conditions. On Monday, they reported that areas of the campsite had been made "unusable" and offered refunds to all ticket holders.

Katheryn Shields (born Oct. 24, 1946) is a Kansas City, Missouri Democratic Party politician who has served as the Kansas City councilwoman for the 4th district at-large since 2015. She previously served as Jackson County, Missouri County Executive from 1995 to 2006.

Early life
Shields was born north of the Missouri River in Kansas City, attended Park Hill High School and graduated from North Kansas City High School in 1964.

At the University of Missouri - Kansas City, she received a Bachelor of Arts Degree in 1968, a master's degree in 1971, and a law degree in 1978.

After serving as an assistant Jackson County prosecutor in 1978 and 1979 she went into private practice.

Political offices
She served on the Kansas City, Missouri City Council from 1987 until 1994, when she was elected county executive. While on the Council, she championed the 1% for Art Program and an ordinance to prohibit discrimination based on sexual orientation.

During her watch as Jackson County Executive, the county launched a $20 million renovation of county buildings, including the Jackson County Courthouse and construction of a visitor center at Fort Osage, and negotiated an extension that will keep the Kansas City Royals and Kansas City Chiefs at a renovated Truman Sports Complex through at least 2031. She instituted "green" policies that earned the county over two dozen environmental awards.

Shields was the area's highest ranking Democratic elected local official, and a prominent supporter of John Kerry in 2004.

As 2006 ended, Shields opted not to seek a fourth term as County Executive, but to run for Mayor of Kansas City in the 2007 Kansas City mayoral election.

In 2015, Shields narrowly defeated incumbent Kansas City councilman Jim Glover for re-election and was re-elected in 2019.

2007 court case
On January 6, 2007, the day before she was scheduled to file for Mayor of Kansas City (a race in which she was a frontrunner in the polls), she and her husband Phil Cardarella were indicted on federal charges of wire fraud in connection with the sale of their Sunset Hills house; prosecutors said the sale was at an inflated price.   According to the alleged scheme Shields and her husband would receive $707,000 if they agreed to let an appraiser appraise it at $1.2 million with the appraiser and cohorts collecting the difference (the house had been on the market for $700,000)  She claimed the charges were politically motivated by federal prosecutor Bradley Schlozman, who had been appointed by George W. Bush.

At trial, it came to light that neither Shields nor her husband had signed any documents that were not entirely truthful, that crucial documents had been forged, and that the FBI had instructed one appraiser to perform a false appraisal and told the loan company to approve a loan without verifying values on the false appraisal. Shields and Cardarella were found not guilty of all charges,  although co-defendant appraiser and co-horts were convicted.

Thereafter, Shields—who had lost the race for Mayor—became Executive Director of Westside Housing Organization, a non-profit organization that built and ran low-income housing.  In 2015, she ran for City Council and was narrowly elected over an incumbent councilmember.  She was re-elected in 2019 and currently serves as Chair of the Finance Committee.
