For Free Speech Radio News, this is Rami Almeghari in Gaza. Rami Almeghari, will no longer be available at FSRN’s broadcasts, within the course of few months. The Reason is out of his hands and has nothing to do with his will!.
It is rather related to a major financial problem, his American family (FSRN) will be facing in a few months to come, mainly on September of this year.
Cutting off financial support to the FSRN by the Pacifica Radio in LA, would definitely mean cutting off bread to a Palestinian refugee family, who lives in the most impoverished part of the world, with 80 percent of the population depending on food aid.
Out of a sudden, my job and my family’s source of living will no longer exist. I feel shocked and weird . Working for an overseas radio station has been a great job of mine!.
I have been proud of such a job over the past couple of years, in which I have dedicated all my time , energy and efforts.
Last December, for instance, I had to carry my lab top to recharge it at a nearby grocer, where there was a Benzene-gas power generator, under extreme darkness due to a power outage in here, which occurs frequently for prolonged hours since June2006.
On that night, I had to produce my story (an Israeli air strike on a Hamas-run ministry building), at the grocer. I returned back very quickly to my home. The internet connection was very slow, the lab top’s battery was alarming and my heart was beating!.
On the other end (the FSRN), Eric, FSRN’s tech team, said on Gmail chat ” man, chill out, everything is fine”!.
Since I received that shocking email, which informed me about the financial cuts, I had a mix of feelings; I felt as if I did nothing at all!. Was it really a dream?.
I don’t know, actually I don’t know, it seems that the world we live in now is merely a dream land, a world of nothing but of budgets!!!.
Losing the FSRN doesn’t mean losing my living, simply because a small insect in this world can find its food very easily, for a reason that no one can understand, I bet!. But losing the FSRN work would mean losing you my dear readers!. Do you like that?.
My work for FSRN, which is done 11,000 miles away would have ensured me some sort of peace of mind, an open mind and an energetic mood, which I used all to contribute my publications to you dear readers.
Therefore, losing the FSRN would mean losing basic components for creation and innovation of a Palestinian refugee, who lives in poverty, unemployment and heaps of other social and psychological problems. Would you love that dear readers?
The Israeli army invasion of my town, Maghazi of July 2006, the invasion of Shuka village of August 2006, the Gaza Labor Day of 2007/2008 and the recent Democratic presidential candidate, Barak Obama’s statements over Jerusalem of June 2008 as well as hundreds of other reports, stood a connection between peoples in Gaza and in the U.S.
But unfortunately, this link would no longer exist soon!. Would you love this dear readers?.
For Free Speech Radio News, this is Rami Almeghari in Gaza. This logo will soon be no longer heard in LA , unless you my dear readers extend hand of help and support to FSRN, which helps out sending a real and non-biased message.
For Free Souls and Minds, this is Rami Almeghari in Gaza.
