Did Art Bell’s website get hacked?

Aloha J.P.

I hope it’s a hack job and not art’s politics :(
Keirth must be a busy person just now.

Well, it’s been over a full day now and the things remains "hacked". I’m certainly suspicious.

Well, Art’s website just went back to normal, with a headline item about Art & Keith’s "April Fool’s Joke".

I’m disgusted. What’s even more disgusting is that after such an insensitive display, he goes on to wax eloquent about his own perspective on the bombings… which comes up sounding alot like the nonsense the "Kosovo Hackers" were spouting on the site earlier today.

The only point he makes that I can agree with is why we’re so selective about where "we" choose to intervene. But certainly, that doesn’t excuse this thoughtless & insensitive display.

Did I mention that I’m disgusted?

-John

Well that did it for me, Art Bell has raised the skull and crossbones and is flying his true serbo-communist flag. I cannot think of a more tasteless example of a joke with so many men and women in harms way. Bell can just pack up and move to BELLgrade as far as I am concerned. What a weasel!
AAloha Glenn :(

Just minutes ago, I became aware of Art Bell’s April Fool’s prank. I have forwarded an E-Mail to him expressing my contempt for such an asinine and repugnant act.

Glenn, I echo your comments.

I just sent an e-mail of complaint to Keith (Art’s webmaster), and within a few minutes, he wrote back a terse little e-mail saying my being upset was "childish".

My reply to that note was CCed both to Art, and to some key people at Premiere Radio, with the suggestion that if things get uglier over in Kosovo, this joke will be remembered very differently than they now intend.
Anyhow, I’m done fuming for this evening.

Ok folks;
I checked this out myself and Art Bell made a really good point… I notice that mistakes in judgment are offen made because some words are over looked for what ever reason may exist in the Readers mind. So i Sniped out the first section right from Art Bells site… Just to make things clear to all…
Note this: it was the ‘HACK’ That was the April Fools Joke…. NOT the contents… So here is the SNIP>>>

April 1st Joke?

The "Hack" seen on this site was a April 1st prank by myself and Keith Rowland, however it was also to make a point. Though I do not agree in any

way with what the Serbs are REPORTED to be doing, it is none of our damn business.>>end of SNIP -John Cook said: I just sent an e-mail of complaint to Keith (Art’s webmaster), and within a few minutes, he wrote back a terse little e-mail saying my being upset was "childish".

I honestly don’t understand what your point is, I don’t think you read Art Bell’s whole statement and UNDERSTOOD what his position is on this matter.

He says :" it is none of our damn business."

thus, his position on this is that regardless of the graveness of the situation with tens of thousands of people being subject to genocide, the U.S. should just sit back and watch even if they can prevent further atrocities.

His position on this matter is egotistical and myopic and his choice of subject matter for a joke was deplorable.

So here we are, all safe in our own places while others are doing the tasked work. Why should/would the USA want to get into another countries affairs? Is it invested moneys? It is also known that war creates prosperity. Are we that arrogant and/or egotistic that we the people of the USA Know that what our government is doing, is correct and is for the best for another countries people? Our government leaders are not at the front line doing this. Our government will send and use its own children who have gone through training at their parents expense to mindlessly risk their lives for what is a judgment call of another country’s affairs.

If your parents were having an argument, do you call the police in to shoot them because they might hurt themselves or you? NO. We have a system here where nothing is done until the crime is committed. Then the next step is to take it to Court. So how is it when these other countries are having their differences the USA/UN has not taken them to Court First? No, that’s not what is happening here. And if the USA doesn’t pull out before it is over the USA will again be having all of our taxed dollars sent over there to rebuild what the USA has bombed. Plus what it cost to do it in the first place.
Does killing the killers make it less a killing? It is the same as killing the abortionist because he killed the fetus? To kill the cannibal because he kills to eat? To kill in the name of God does that make it right? How about punching out the Guy that doesn’t agree with you?
Art Bell doesn’t agree with this intervention of force. This could only create a fear for the lives of our children who will be called to fight.
How will we ever again say we are a peaceful country/people? How will we ever do without arming ourselves if we have the belief that we will always have to be ready for a war no matter who’s it is? All this is going to create a great deal of mental stress for everyone.
Who would rather see peace and not the loss of their sons and daughters? Let’s all have a wonderful life.
Those of you that agree with using force and killing to make Peace, has it worked in your life? Is that what you do in your life? The experts say that those that come from abused families and haven’t gotten over it want to abuse others in their anger and frustration and it’s the only way they know how to deal with their problems and frustrations.
I believe Art Bell is/was speaking from his own experience of getting people to pray, to help solve our problems and it works better then war. How soon you forget, When our south-east needed rain from the fires, Art Bell was there with a peaceful-prayer solution to solve the problem. It worked so well it scared him. What had our USA government done? Did any other country come to our aid? Did anyone threaten to kill God if we didn’t get rain?
I say from a Remote Viewer point of view, our minds can do more for peace and resolution then being in the primitive mind of killing your own kind as the solution. Are most of you so brain-washed by TV and videos your mind believes that the demise of another is the solution to all conflict?
So, This is my rebuttal -answer, not that I really wanted to do an essay on my opinion of the war.
But you dragged me into it because I agreed with Art Bell’s opinion. When in reality my point was to just point out the word Hack* and April Fools joke was the issue to start with… But if you all really want to hit on a guy who is trying his best and sticking out his neck, his face, and his name for what he believes is right and he doesn’t want harm to come to anyone, who you gonna kick next?

If my father were brandishing a machine-gun, killed my mother, and then started to drive over to her parents home to kill everyone there simply because they shared the same genetic makeup, I suppose I just might call in the police.

-John

I am just reminding you that free speach still governs this country and I don’t believe anyone has thought of taking the actions you claim we have already committed. You said:

"who you gonna kick next?"

Honestly, what the hell are you talking about, we are simply disagreeing with statements in a peaceful way with words. And to suggest that we would physically act out against people who think differently than us makes us no better than Slobodan Milosevic himself. Even if you were only figuratively speaking it is a poor choice of words that makes us look like a bunch of thugs.
