Far Right Radio Review,
November 24, 2001
 This week on the Far Right Radio Review, hosts James
Latham and Carlie Rose highlight James Wickstrom, a founding father of the Far Right in
America. Pastor James P. Wickstrom’s program “End Day Prophesy Hour”
and “Yahweh’s Truth” have been heard on shortwave radio for a number
of years on stations such as WGTG, WRMI, and most recently United Patriot Radio, owned by
militia member, Steve Anderson (which has recently gone off the air). The FRRR team
explores the long history of Wickstrom’s involvement in the Posse Comitatus, his
$100,000 counterfeit scam that landed him in jail. In addition to his heavy involvement in
the Posse Comitatus, Pastor Wickstrom is also a minister who preaches the 2-Seedline
Christen Identity beliefs, and is an avid anti-Semite. Be prepared to hear some of the
most shocking audio clips from Wickstrom’s special on “Jewish Murder
Rituals” – warning! These audio clips contents are extreme in nature! So prepare
yourself for another exciting edition of the Far Right Radio Review.
