What is Poli-Tech?

Mick Williams explains what Poli-Tech is for those who don't know. Politics + Tech. Why is this important? Tech costs and creations are linked to outcomes made by our governing officials and politicians. From streaming to the creation of cars! Tech is greatly affected and impacted by policies put in place, or even removed often by voters decisions. You can’t have one without the other. World’s First Poli-Tech Show. Brought to you by Mick Williams’ Cyber-Line.

Poli-tech is a portmanteau of the words "politics" and "technology." It refers to the intersection of politics and technology, and how the two interact with each other. Poli-tech can be used to describe a wide range of topics, including the use of technology in politics, the impact of politics on technology, and the ways in which technology can be used to promote or challenge political goals.


Poli-tech is a relatively new field of study, but it has quickly become an important area of research. This is because technology is playing an increasingly important role in politics, and understanding how the two interact is essential for anyone who wants to understand how politics works in the 21st century.


There are many different ways to study poli-tech, but some of the most common approaches include:


* Studying the use of technology in political campaigns and elections.


* Analyzing the impact of technology on political activism and engagement.


* Exploring the ways in which technology can be used to control or manipulate public opinion.


* Studying the impact of politics on the development and regulation of technology.


* Examining the ways in which technology can be used to promote or challenge political goals.

Perspective

 1. Americans spend $36,000,000 at Walmart every hour of every day.

2. This works out to $20,928 profit every minute!
3. Walmart will sell more from January 1 to St. Patrick's Day (March 17th) than Target sells all year.
4. Walmart is bigger than Home Depot + Kroger + Target + Sears + Costco combined.
5. Walmart employs 1.6 million people, is the world's largest private employer, and most speak English.
6. Walmart is the largest company in the history of the world.
7. Walmart now sells more food than Kroger and Safeway combined, and keep in mind they did this in only fifteen years.
8. During this same period, 31 big supermarket chains sought bankruptcy.
9. Walmart now sells more food than any other store in the world.
10. Walmart has approx 3,900 stores in the USA of which 1,906 are Super Centers; this is 1,000 more than it had five years ago.
11. This year 7.2 billion different purchasing experiences will occur at Walmart stores. (Earth's population is approximately 6.5 billion).
12. 90% of all Americans live within fifteen miles of a Walmart.
You may think that I am complaining, but I am really laying the groundwork for suggesting that MAYBE we should hire the guys who run Walmart to fix the economy. This should be read and understood by all Americans. Democrats, Republicans, EVERYONE!!
To - President Biden and all 535 voting members of the Legislature. It now seems official that the majority of you are corrupt morons:
a.. The U.S. Postal Service was established in 1775. You have had 246 years to get it right and it is broken.
b.. Social Security was established in 1935. You have had 86 years to get it right and it is broken.
c.. Fannie Mae was established in 1938. You have had 71 years to get it right and it is broken.
d.. War on Poverty started in 1964. You have had 57 years to get it right; $1 trillion of our money is confiscated each year and transferred to "the poor" and they only want more.
e. Medicare and Medicaid were established in 1965. You have had 56 years to get it right and they are broke.
f. Freddie Mac was established in 1970. You have had 51 years to get it right and it is broken.
g.. The Department of Energy was created in 1977 to lessen our dependence on foreign oil. It has ballooned to 16,000 employees with a budget of $24 billion a year and we import more oil than ever before. You had 44 years to get it right and it is an abysmal failure - after we were Energy Independent under Trump.
You have FAILED in every "government service" you have shoved down our throats while overspending our tax dollars.

National Radio Day

 

Today for National Radio Day I wish to present three candidates for your consideration:

1) Orson Welles. The very first actor to play Lamont Cranston (aka The Shadow) on radio. His Mercury Theater Of The Air would produce Radio plays and create “Citizen Kane”. The movie created new filming techniques still used to this day. He would show the world the power of radio as he scared the shit out of the nation with an adaption of H.G. Wells’ War of the Worlds.

2) and 3): Donald Pierson and Ben Toney (pictured) - Two Texans that converted an aging WWII minesweeper into a floating pirate radio station named Radio London.

Although Radio Caroline was the first, Big L put commercial radio on the U.K. map. Today commercial radio is a standard overseas. #nationalradioday

*YOU* BEING F**CKED BY THE NUMBERS:

 *YOU* BEING F**CKED BY THE NUMBERS:

20.27 MILLION: Total amount of Millionaires in the United States.

724: Total amount of Billionaires in the United States.

669,130: The average number of licensed CPA's in the United States.

$120,910: Average salary of a tax attorney in the United States

$80 BILLION: The cost of the "Inflation Reduction" Act.
1 in 4: Amount of sole proprietors being audited.

$20,000: The average amount of laywer and CPA costs for small and medium businesses to defend an audit.

87,000: The amount of new IRS agents being added to audit tax returns. Enough people to fill the horseshoe at Ohio State University.

$45.6 Billion: Money from the act being spent for enforcement.

$203.7 Billion: "Expected revenue" from audits.

$600: The new threshold the Biden administration created to make financial institutions report to the IRS. (Lowered from the original $10,000 reporting threshold. )

Banks fought against it so the Administration put the burden on pay services Ala PayPal and Venmo. Many of these services are used by the "underfunded" or "underbanked".

*YOU*: The average person who will have a greater chance of being audited. Because millionaires and Billionaires have teams of lawyers and accounts to help them legally pay the minimum amount the expected $203.7 Billion from audits is a joke!

This will become a tax on the middle class pure and simple.

Who's going to be "Team Middle Class"?

Certainly not #Democrats.

MICK WILLIAMS CELEBRATES 40+1 YEARS IN BROADCASTING

 DALLASTX – Mick Williams Host/Executive Producer of Mick Williams’ Cyber-Line is celebrating his 40+1 years in broadcasting today.

“We were supposed to celebrate the 40th anniversary but that nasty COVID got in the way”, says Williams.

Mick Williams started as an intern at KWJS-FM/Dallas, one of nine stations owed by Jimmy Swaggart at the time.

“I applied for my broadcast endorsement while an intern. We all got let go on July 29, 1981 – The same day Charles and Diana got married. My card showed up a few days later stamped August 1, 1981 and became official.”

Williams later moved to KTLR-FM/Terrell, Tx and became a DJ spinning country music and PSA Director. Automation came along and he had to reinvent himself.

Mick noticed that talk shows had different formats but nothing about technology. ”This guy named Rush Limbaugh showed up and took talk radio by storm. I then figured out that with my knowledge I could create a technology show.”

He created Mick Williams’ Cyber-Line in December 1995 and was heard on Dallas stations KSKY, WBAP, and KYNG along with WWCR. He joined USA Radio Network in June 2000 where he still broadcasts with his co-host Bob (Video Bob) Byron and Social Media Zarina Amy Lynn.

He also wrote a column for the Ft Worth Star-Telegram’s Startext service, “Spanglish” newspaper El Leader and AOL Digital. The Cyber-Line podcasts reach listeners around the world.

Williams changed Cyber-Line’s format this year to the first Poli-Tech Talk Show. Along with products and tech news, Mick talks about how political forces affect consumers use of technology and censorship. Mick Williams’s Cyber-Line celebrated 25 years on air in 2020.

WBAP-AM 820 #ftworthtx/#dallas,tx celebrates it's 100th birthday

 WBAP-AM 820 #ftworthtx/#dallas,tx celebrates it's 100th birthday.


The station shared signal with WFAA-AM 570 for many years. The signal change was marked by ringing a cowbell.

One of the first original stations west of the Mississippi it was preceeded by WRR-AM 1310 Dallas making WBAP the second radio station to sign on in Texas.

With it's nighttime 50,000 watt signal WBAP can be heard across 32 states.

Later WFAA (now KLIF-AM) would reunite with the purchase of both stations by Cumulus.

TuneIn

  Dear Cyber-Line listeners:

I got an email from TuneIn @tunein telling me that due to "contractual obligations" they will be disabling the record function on the Tunein Pro app. This will become effective 14 September, 2020.
For at least 20 years. I've recommended Tunein to listen to radio stations around the world. Even though my show, Charley Jones, The John David Wells report and countless other shows have used Tunein to get their message out we still had the options of time shifting.
I have never been compensated for my suggestion to your purchase. I've received no percentage of sales. My only goal was to empower you with a great product that allowed you the freedom to consume information as you see fit!
When asked about Tunein I've always suggested to my listeners to pay the one time fee of $5.99 for the pro version. Charley Jones and many late night shows could now be recorded for daytime listening. Morning and afternoon shows like Jon-David Wells people are working and can't listen. If they can then the RF and buildings get in the way of AM reception.
As to my own show, I'm on the weekends. The time my listeners are spending is weekend time with family. I've never complained about recording the show. Much of my email is from listeners telling me how much they enjoyed the convenience.
On behalf of myself and the Cyber-Line @cyberlineusa crew I wish to apologize. Even though the fee wasn't $5.99 a month its still had value to you.
Tunein has posted a standard answer to the record button complaints. It's B.S. They are protecting their new pay to play service. If you're going to disable a product Tunein you should tell the truth!
Meanwhile, we will continue to report to you our dear listerners. We will still be on Tunein and will inform you of ways to exercise your freedom of information consumption via other products as they become known.
Thanks for listening!
Mick Williams
Host/Executive Producer
Mick Williams Cyber-Line
********what i posted in app store********
I'm a nationally syndicated tech talk show host. I've recommended tune in pro for years so that listeners can record (MY OWN CONTENT THAT *I* OWN!) and play it later. I also use my iPad to record *MY* show and archive it.
I also record shows that are on at 2am my time I feel cheated and an idiot. Cheated because I paid for it. I feel like an idiot because I got my listeners to pay for it! You should refund the money we paid!
You're response blows. Your protecting you paid service. #refund #tuneinapp @tunein

As you can tell I have too much time on my hands and I don't use spell check.

RESPECT The Ole Geezer

 Old Geezer

The Ole Geezer AKA Michael Szigmound Suhar


The Ole Geezer AKA Michael Szigmound Suhar passed away August 3, 2018 after a short battle with Cancer. He is survived by his wife Eve (Eva) married to for 43 years, two loving sons, his late son Scott, and his grandchildren one who is named after him.

He was in the Navy. He loved being a member of the American military serving proudly the country he loved, moving around and finally settling in Texas. Where he then proceeded to work for Lockheed and was involved in the electronic field since 1959 and designed & built real-time flight simulators for 27 years before retiring in 2008.

His interest in radio was fueled by listening to communications on Halicrafters, Heathkit, and Collins receivers in the 50's and more recently on a Uniden BCD536T/BCD & 436 HP scanners and the iCom IC-R20 wideband communication receivers. Having attained his Amateur Extra license, Mike is on the air with Cushcraft R8, Hy-Gain AV6160, AR-270B Verticals and Wideband Discone connected to a iCom IC-7700 HF-50Mhz/iCom 9100 HF/VHF/UHF All Mode Multi Bander transceiver or Yaesu FTdx 3000 HF-50Mhz or Yaesu FT-991 HF/VHF/UHF All Mode Multi Bander transceiver transceiver.

He was an amateur ham radio operator wa0am and received many awards. These awards ranged from ARRL Life Member, QRZ Life Member, WAS Digital, and more. He was also a guest of Mick Williams’ Cyber-Line Radio show on KSKY AM, WBAP AM and the IRN/USA Radio Network often hosting when Mick was out, and a prominent member of the “Round Table.”

He was a very talented web designer in his later years of life enjoying not only the creation of his own website but his sons. It is said that his coding was not only beautiful but a work of true art that stands up to this very day.

He will be truly missed not just by family but those that grew to know him via his adventures with radio, and online.

His dying wish was to have a charity set up in his name which has been completely destroyed by his son. So stay tuned, that link will be added when completed and the son has fixed all the wrong doings.

I had a press release for special new product....

10am at the Doubletree Hotel. This new device would revolutionize radio. A pay service that allowed you to listen to hundreds of channels from a tiny little box in your car. Stereo and static free from coast to coast. I had my press pass to come check it out and be apart of broadcasting history.

It was this new company: XM Radio.
Ballroom. 10am 11 September 2001.
Sadly, I was destined for another part of broadcasting history.
Two commercial airplanes hit the World Trade Center Towers that morning.
The press conference was canceled and the XM radio service would have its debut three weeks later.

This story can neither be confirmed nor denied.
