| "Yar, we be the indigenous Pirates of Pennsauken." The FCC yesterday shut down Pennsauken, NJ-based "El Sol 95.3," which began broadcasting 24/7 in January and could be heard throughout the Philadelphia area. According to AP, federal authorities seized equipment from the station, which had been the subject of repeated complaints from stations with similar frequencies located throughout the region. A group called The Moors operated El Sol, and the group claimed that U.S. laws do not apply to the group’s members because they are indigenous Americans who, they claim, have lived on the continent since the beginning of time. A man representing the station told a visiting FCC field agent in January that El Sol was authorized under the "Great Seal" and offered a homemade document signed by "Queen Ali," according to a federal civil complaint filed May 17 in a Newark, NJ U.S. District Court. Members of the Moors, also known as the Al Moroccan Empire, were in summer 2003 accused of operating a money fraud ring. |

GEORGE: I'm sorry the card says MOOPS. DONALD: IT DOESN'T MATTER. I'S THE MOORS. THERE'S NO MOOPS. GEORGE: It's MOOPS. DONALD: MOORS. GEORGE: MOOPS, DONALD: MOORS! |

I suppose the founder of the group was suckled from birth by a she-wolf, and is never without his rubber ducky? |

| #2 More on the Al-Moroccan Empire: [One of the ringleaders], the former head of the Atlantic City Housing authority, allegedly had run-ins with the law before. He had been charged with taking bribes in Atlantic City when James Usary was mayor, and stealing taxpayer funds when he was involved in rebuilding houses on Osage avenue that burned during the MOVE disaster. A Google search on this group is quite eye-opening. |
