She’s been described by many of militia members as the North State’s best reporter, and they’re still pissed that KRCR let her go. 1 was that former KRCR reporter Courtney Kreider is a key part in the Red White and Blueprint plan. The group included a who’s who of some of the North State’s most recognized right-wing extremists, as well as some less-known players, all there to “let the cat out of the bag” regarding a combination plan/movement/media company/TV show called the Red White and Blueprint. The consecutive shows were recorded, and the videos were spliced together to combine both radio programs. until noon.Īn impressive number of the North State’s most infamous mask-deniers, science-scoffers, militia members and State of Jefferson folks were crammed inside the small radio studio. The second segment was during the “Sovereign Minds” show with Mark Kent, Lyndia Kent and Red Smith from 10 a.m. The first segment was during the “Jefferson State of Mine” program with Terry Rapoza and Win Carpenter from 9 to 10 a.m. A prickly star was born.īack to Sunday at KCNR, where, apparently, Zapata and friends’ master-plan message was so complex and so weighty that it required two entire Sunday programming time slots. His message resonated with the great un-masked masses. That video went viral and thrust Zapata into the limelight as a de facto spokesman of those who refuse to comply with COVID mandates, and those who believe government’s exceeded its reach. In August, Zapata gained worldwide attention for his blistering verbal assault upon Shasta County Board of Supervisors. The event had been teased by Carlos Zapata and his followers for days. Speaking of extremists, a little while later Sunday morning on KCNR in downtown Redding, extremists were in the majority inside the radio studio.īy the end of the morning it was literally standing room only for the shows’ hosts, guests and their two-part, three-hour program.
“The extremists aren’t the majority at this point,” Moty said. He was quoted a few times in the story, including a statement that made me grateful that he’d not characterized all North State residents as total nut jobs. We are not ready for prime time or prying eyes.įortunately, the story ended on a positive note, thanks to District 2 Shasta County Supervisor Leonard Moty. Same old, same old here in Redding, California. She was followed by a male speaker, who made references to bullets, unlimited rope, and cutting off the heads of snakes the snakes, of course, being supervisors. The woman speaker used a trio of words to describe COVID-19. Sure enough, the NPR story played clips of two particularly obnoxious citizens who spoke – sorry, yelled – during the Shasta County Board of Supervisors public comment period. Usually, my first reaction is to feel proud to hear my city’s name mentioned on national news, or covered by a large media market.īut over the last year, our poor county has been in the news so much over various forms of unmitigated dumbshitness that nine times out of 10, our attention is embarrassing and unwelcome. On NSPR, Shasta County was featured during a brief segment of a new Weekend Edition for a National Public Radio series, “ How Disinformation is Shaping the Political Process.” The second program, the one I’d known about, was broadcast on Redding-based KCNR where a group of high-profile right wing citizens promised to unveil their blueprint to “take back” the county via a recall. The surprise story that featured Shasta County was broadcast on North State Public Radio. But as I prepared my coffee and listened to my regular station, I heard an unexpected short story that made my heart sag a little. I woke up Sunday planning to listen to one long radio program that was scheduled to last three hours.
