Wit and Verve
Wit and Verve
Having enthusiasm and ability to create artistic compositions is not a talent that every writer or artist possess. Michael De Yoanna, founder and owner of Dscriber.com, has networked a collection of associates who embody this concept hence the mantra ; wit and verve.
Dscriber.com is a news based website similar to the Huffington Post or Gawker with emphasis on fair and accurate reporting while using wit and creative animations.
Writers from around the world like Chad Diprince from The Denver Post, or Bob Eckstein editor of The Basement contribute to the site.
While colorful and established artists like Liza Donnelly a cartoonist from The New Yorker bring the sections of the site to life with witty and thought provocation cartoons.
De Yoanna said of the Rocky Mountain Newspaper closing in 2009, “It was a wake up call… journalism was changing very fast.”
De Yoanna, a graduate from both Metro State College and the University of Colorado, has worked on the site while maintaining a part-time position with 5280 and freelancing for several other publications. The site utilizes the latest technology and online readership to drive traffic while aggregating information from other news reports in an open and objective perspective.
De Yoanna spent his time completing his master degree program as the Editor in Chief of the Advocate for UCD. After graduating he spent time working for the Colorado Daily and several other Front Range publications with the intentions of working for the Rocky Mountain News or the AP Press.
He continued to freelance for several publications like The Colorado Independent, Boulder Weekly, Rocky Mountain Chronicle and The Washington Post.
De Yoanna advised a journalism class at Metro State on Wednesday saying, “My part-time job with 5280 allows me to do all the other things I want to do.”
De Yoanna’s passion for representing professional journalism in creative way while adapting to the changing landscape lead to his endeavor with Dscriber.com, a site that is currently having 100,000 visitors a month.
“We model our format after a ‘Harper’s Weekly’ approach as opposed to ‘Huffington Post’,” De Yoanna Said.
De Yoanna went on to explain how aggregating news and re-writing it has taken the online readership by storm, “The owner of Huffington (Post), Nick Denton, recently said ‘aggregate or die’, a concept I don’t necessarily agree with.”
De Yoanna expressed his stern dismay for sites like Examiner.com that base their content solely on what is trending and flood the market of readership with too much content saying, “it is killing journalism, just killing it… our goal is to become a news organization that puts up news that matters.”
He also expressed that working first hand with citizen journalist has only proved to him that there is a vital need for professional journalist to create reliable news.
Leaving the class with one final statement about the ever converging media of news coverage De Yoanna said, “the internet requires us (journalist) to be multi-faceted.”

Wikileaks destroy ties gives ammunition for global wars
Interpol has placed Julian Assange on their most wanted list for Warrants stemming from Sweden.
The Austrailian native and founder of Wikileaks is on the run but with many different countries wanting him for different reasons due to the resent release U.S. diplomatic cables.
The thousands of cables released have sent the world's media into a frenzy and even the site itself has been crashed in the last 24 hours.
Some like the Huffington Post call it "The end to diplomacy as we know it,"
Some are saying that the whole wiki leaks support "Globalist Interests" and world government.
Others are saying it give the U.S. upside.
The Dominoes of corruption have been falling for years for anyone who has been paying attention.
Wikileaks has provided endless information and ammunition for countries not only to continue wars but to begin new wars... Iran, North Korea, Yemen, Pakistan... the list goes on.
and Pakistani people have been clammering for their government to stop the support for the U.S. lead war in Afghanistan.
Now the Rand corporation has previously stated they wanted more wars and specifically Iran. These wikileaks give plenty of ammunition to fuel that fire.
If the corporate interests indeed want to create global governance, I do not see how the wikileaks helps to stop that. In fact it helps the cause by causing more tension worldwide.
The worst thing about the reports really seem to make Isreal appear to be the country trying for peace the most. This information if not accurate could further the distance in peace talks in the Middle East and further destablize the region.
More Climate Change Crap
We know there is not a consensous on climate change and they continue to try to lie to us.

Writer Network a case of Deja vu for Reality
The U.S. Department of Labor reports that 48 percent of people get jobs through referrals or personal contacts. So finding a career by knowing the right person is the single most effective way to excel in any market. Students with a passion for writing often put their dreams on hold as they use their skills in other career fields.
Thewriternetwork.com is a tool utilizing the latest social-networking model that aims to speed up the networking process for a writer. Host and founder of the Déjà vu Poetry Lounge, Gregg “Reality” Delaney, is eager to get students plugged into the highly tool.
This website is the product of years of experience from Reality who has worked tirelessly to bringing a new style of poetry to Denver since 2000.
Reality fell into the poetry scene in 1994 after legal troubles pushed him away from the streets.
“People at the time were very into the afro-centric, eclectic, empowerment poetry,” Real said about the local poetry scene in the 1990s.
“I came in talking about my life, baby momma’s and drama other stuff I had already been writing I just didn’t know it was poetry,” Real added. The bar crowd at the Mocha Longue responded to the style of poetry and grew instantly and in less than six months Real had to move the poetry event to a bigger place.
The poetry scene didn’t immediately take to Real’s merging kind of events, “they kind of looked at us different because we were at bars and night clubs, instead of the coffee shops and hipster joints,” Delaney said. By adding a DJ and an after party, Reality was able to successfully combine both the nightlife and the poetry scene.
2002 until 2007 Reality’s weekly poetry event at the Kasbah known as “The Lounge,” was the largest by attendance in the country and began to draw in poets from all over the nation.
“It really drew the crowds out, Poets coming to Denver were pleasantly shocked at the quality of the venue we were at,” Reality said.
“Many of these places in the East Coast have poetry in their nightly music shows…Real has influenced the scene to bring that flavor to Denver,” Lee Williams said.
Williams was a great success from 1989-92 throughout the east coast and brought helped to bring the “Def Comedy Jam v. Comic View” battle out to Denver in 2008.
After a successful run from 2005-2008, amidst financial, and creative differences Reality Left the Kasbah.
Away from the scene Reality connected with All Access Live a high quality a media production company. Since Real already had built a name for his self nationally and was comfortable hosting events and All Access had Real hosting all types of productions.
“When I quit the poetry scene, I promised myself I would only come back to it if everything was right,” Reality shared. This time he felt like he had all the tools to return to the scene.
“When I met All Access and started to be involved in what they were doing I knew something was calling me back… I just told myself this time I am going to do it on my terms with all the technology behind me.”
An opportunity materialized and Real brought his show back to the Denver audience this time with a whole team of professionals with him who he hopes will help him to experience a Déjà vu of success he has previously reached.
All of Real’s successes have built him many relationships and eyes of the media professionals are on him because of it.
“The poetry scene is a huge tool literary students can use to show their skills and meet great people,” Lee Williams added about the importance of the site for students.
Thewriternetwork.com allows all the writers, poets, and interested people access to a network of people on a very specific level. This should allow writers of all types to maximize opportunities and build relationships that can propel them into their careers.
Real visualizes connecting thewriternetwork.com with the academic community and hopes to find a way to have students integrated to the system as part of certain department’s curriculum soon.
Students can catch the poets of the Déjà vu Poetry Lounge at Twisted Olive in the Northfield Shopping area every Wednesday from 9-11 pm or log onto http://www.thewriternetwork.com/ for more info.

Sisters of Color United for Education
Antonio C. Valenzuela
Sisters of Color United for Education; agents of change
Redecorating the walls of his 13th and Cherokee design studio with building plans for Sisters of Color United for Education’s recent art fundraiser “Bubbly,” Alex Degelman used Mayan architecture to reflect the people they represent; mind, body and spirit.
Degelman donated the space of the usual design studio to display the work his Denver Institute of Art inters did creating the design for construction of the new community SOCUE building saying, “I have fell in love with the work Sister’s is doing since the first day I walked into their little office in West Denver.”
“Sister’s has helped to educate the urban communities about dangerous health disparities by offering alternative methods to the people,” issues Degelman openly supports SOCUE for.
Addriena Corrales described the work of SOCUE in one word; Promotora.
“The word means promoter. In this case a promoter of health for the community…a defender,” Addriena explains, “There are promotoras of education, food and other areas that protect the people with knowledge…it a model of leadership.”
SOCUE’s programs and methods used are atypical in the U.S. and SOCUE aims to empower their community members with alternative methodologies they believe can help with issues like drug abuse, mental health, sexually transmitted infection, and education.
Corrales spoke specifically about the role media plays in perpetuating stereo-types, “blinding people to the systemic issues in the community”
“One out of every Five teenagers in the urban communities of the U.S. will get Chlamydia according the CDPHE,” Corrales cites.
Informative media in the form of cartoons, commercials and video are some of the avenues SOCUE sees are pathways to use to get their message to the Denver metro area and beyond.
Therapies like Body Talk Colorado, Zumba, counseling, suicide prevention, therapy for former drug abusers, ESL, Yoga and many other services are other ways they seeks to change the culture in these communities.
Heather A. Holden, a Certified Massage Therapist, Film Maker and supporter described the role of SOCUE informing the public saying, “If you don’t know that your options are, you don’t have any.”
In regards to offering different health modalities she said, “People are the mercies of the medical system… these are people helping people.”
Universal languages like art, music, and dance are conduits that SOCUE wishes to use to appeal to people from all walks of life.
Working together with other non-profit organizations and media entities like; The Prodigal Son Initiative, Pay It Forward, Speechless Magazine, Unidos en Orgullo, 2Kool, Tidwid Entertianment and many others, SOCUE has created a media collaborative dubbed Arteculture.
The goal of this collaborative will be to educate through media about physical, mental and social wellness. Aiming to achieve this through values like promoting stronger local economies, sustainability, health alternatives, community readiness and cultural awareness making issues they support viral.
The biggest obstacle all non-profits like this face one common enemy regardless of the demographic they represent; funding.
Corrales describes the problem as, “disparity dijour,” Referring to the ironic situation that her company faces trying to help people in communities with health disparities while looking at their own financial disparities.
Eudamonia Green a Body Talk practitioner and collaborator in Arteculture said, “It is important people know their health is not dependent on drugs and that the medical industrial complex is more about money than health,” referring to the work SOCUE is doing to bring education to the people.
SOCUE’s mission in the community embodies this perspective using a strength based method to, “creating health equity for strong mind, bodies, and spirits.”
More information can be found about some of the measures being taken by SOCUE including the current 100 foot mural being painted on their 8th and Clay facility at http://www.socue.org/

Financial turmoil evidence of flawed system
Today my class was graced with the presence of Amy Imse a veteran journalist formerly with the AP press. Imse spoke to our class about the Colorado Public News Station she has spear headed this year but that was not what I took from the experience.
I inferred two main ideas from her. One; that the media's revenue was in a complete overhaul because of the system of add based print is being undermined.
Two: Those traditional journalists are going to have to adapt to find opportunities.
In reference to the first matter she also revealed a conflicting position newspaper editors and media face in the
She gave an anecdotal example saying that an editor may have two stories and only one reporter. Then the editor must make a decision based one readers interest on which one to send his resources to.
Having been an editor for two publications I can see how this creates a conflict of interest and a dilemma. Let me explain.
In the mind of an editor there is always that underlying position of having to have enough money from ads to pay every operation and deciding what stories to run. This creates a problem.
Because publications are already losing money they covet the buyers of ads money even more.
Now add to that the fact that you want to cover a story that you want the public to be interested in. This leaves one with a question to ponder...
Is the public more interested in Lindsay Lohan going to jail or the international
She also eluded to the fact that financial contributor want to see a big reader/viewership. The more people you get to read your paper the more money you can get from ads essentially.
So editors are in the position of choosing frivolous stories of no informational value to keep there paper alive or cover a story of informational importance which could anger one of their big corporate supporters.
However is was JFK Jr. in his infamous address to the media April 27, 1961, that said newspapers should, "not to simply "give the public what it wants"--but to inform, to arouse, to reflect, to state our dangers and our opportunities, to indicate our crises and our choices, to lead, mold, educate and sometimes even anger public opinion." A job more and more newspapers and media outlets are failing to do.
Another problem with the American model of media is that the major corporations and most the most powerful people have become the foremost investors in the U.S. media world.
Bill Clinton’s signing of the Telecommunication Act of 1996 allowed for quicker consolidation of power by corporations instead of doing the opposite, as he boasted it would. Since 1983 the 50 companies own 95% of the U.S. Media compared to 6 companies by 2006.
So you have people like Rupert Murdoch owner of News Corporation who owns entities like Fox News, Myspace, The Wall Street Journal and many many more. And Ted Turner who owns CNN, TNT,TBS and thousands of other stations. These two guys have acted as bitter rivals like professional wrestling and American politics in true Hegelian dialectic fashion.
However: Both worked closely Rockefeller family which is working to create global governance. As Rockefeller has admitted in a speech to the Tri-Lateral Commission saying, ""...conspiring with others around the world to build a more integrated global political and economic structure...one world, if you will. If that's the charge, I stand guilty, and I am proud of it."
So our informational source of news has been taken over by the people who wish to make profits and perpetuate consumption of products. Once again this reminds me of what great President said about the corporate powers... that "corporations have been enthroned and an era of corruption in high places will follow...working upon the prejudices of the people until all wealth is aggregated in a few hands and the Republic is destroyed." - U.S. President Abraham Lincoln, Nov. 21, 1864 (letter to Col. William F. Elkins)
Editors in the U.S. Media are pawns in this corporate corruption like it or not. Because they must adhere to the "prejudices of the people," when selecting stories and with the pressure of their corporate funders to print what more people will read. Pepsi or coke... constantly blasted in our faces making both companies superiorly rich with more investment to make to our sources of information.
In regard to her second position I will elaborate tomorrow.

Global Warming Fraud
People like the mildly retarted Glenn Beck make the case against anthropogenic global warming hard to side with, simply because who wants to agree with a man like him.
However if you haven't heard of Climate Gate in the last year then you must simply just be watching American news coverage (excuse me while I chuckle).
Any psuedo science claiming to prove anthropogenic global warming has been almost completely shut down. Here is a story from last year when it broke in the UK Guardian..
people really believe there is a consensus on the issue of global warming when nothing could be further from the truth. 30,000 of the worlds top scientist dispute those "facts," including John Coleman the founder of the Weather Channel.
When in doubt follow the money...you will find a list of names behind it .. namely Maurice Strong and Al Gore.
Don't get me wrong, we need to clean up the planet and find alternative means of energy but arguing that humans and carbon dioxide are heating the planet is like saying the world is flat... its simple made up science.
The Main college University of West Anglia in England has colluded data and guided the IPCC into complete and utter disgrace.. hence Phil Jones the head "researcher" of that university stepped down after the discovery of the emails.
However if you ask the typical American they will tell you man made global warming is real and we need to cap and trade carbon to save the polar bears... a complete CNN regurgitation.
Don't fall for the second biggest lie in American History...

Not Red and Blue.... Corporations v. The People
After writing the story pertaining the current election races in Colorado I realized something that bothered me even further about politics. And I like to open cans of worms so here we go...
The media and campaigns do a great job in each state, city, town, and even down to the district of dividing the people. Division has been burned into our very nature through sports, school, and even competition for jobs. Based on peoples very tribalistic nature it is easy to see why campaigns use this mental game of mudslinging to irk the spirit of people.
But one division that is lost up in the rhetoric, slogans, and constant purposeful reminder of "Red" and "Blue," is the dividing line between the NEEDS of the people and the WANTS of the Corporations.
Failing to hear the warnings of past presidents like Abraham Lincoln who had the fore-sight to see the corporate corruption disease about to plague our wonderful country saying, "I see in the near future a crisis approaching that unnerves me and causes me to tremble for the safety of my country. . . . corporations have been enthroned and an era of corruption in high places will follow, and the money power of the country will endeavor to prolong its reign by working upon the prejudices of the people until all wealth is aggregated in a few hands and the Republic is destroyed." Nov. 1st, 1864.
Yes some people are euphoric about the "Republicans" taking back the house and so called balancing power. There is no barometer that measures influence in each candidate in which to see how much each of them serve the corporations as opposed to the blue collar working class of the U.S.
Corporate influence is rampid and knows no bounds. In almost every case you can see in American politics there is a financial backing of campaigns and promises those candidates must deliver to those investors.
In every campaign meeting there are lobbyist who serve the best interest of the banks and corporations who are purposely de-industrializing the U.S. For as Maurice Strong Chair of the UN said in the Rio De Janero Earth Summit meeting of 1992, ""Isn't the only hope for the planet that the industrialized civilizations collapse? Isn't it our responsibility to bring that about?"
Read Larry Flint's(who a huge propnent of the 1st Amendment and a billionaire) article pertaining to the corporations entitled Common Sense 2009 which was published in the Huffington Post.
While the average American understands very little about the concept of a paradigm shift, politicans, lobbyist, and globalist understand the concept very well.
While some may say conservatives are isolating a large population of people who do not share their views. I say the value systems of people in "Red" states greatly reflect the nature of their state. In states with high city populations and mega cities like California, New York, and Massachucets it is easy to see how values and morals are constructed due to the lifestyle.
In contrast the states with higher rural populations like Georgia, Wyoming, Montana, and Kansas have historically favored conservative values that reflect their lifestyle.
Regardless of political affiliation what all people must realize is that there is line in the sand. On one side stands the corporations, globalist, and their Mc Donald fed zombies, and on the other stands the heart of the American people and the movement for localization, smaller government and less corporate influence.
Corporations share the same rights as a human being for over a millenia, which to me will never make sense or be justified... thank you 14th Amendment.
http://money.howstuffworks.com/corporation-person1.htm
My point I leave to you is that beneath all the hoopla and distraction of the elections, are fundemental differences that know no party lines. Corporate power has waged war on the American public and politics has taken up their marketing mantle of the Hegelian Dialectic: Pepsi v. Coke, Burger King v. Mc Donalds, AT&T v Verizon, Yankees v Red Sox, Dark v Light, Black v. White, Gay v. Straight, Red v Blue all while serving it up as a lovely plate of delicious entertainment for us to feast on "playing on the prejudices of the people."
While people have forgotten the warning of MLK Jr., "I am convinced that if we are to get on the right side of the world revolution, we as a nation must undergo a radical revolution of values. We must rapidly begin the shift from a "thing-oriented" society to a "person-oriented" society. When machines and computers, profit motives and property rights are considered more important than people, the giant triplets of racism, materialism, and militarism are incapable of being conquered."
Allowing the corporations to rule has pulled us close to a "thing oriented society," while racism, materialism, and militarism have plagued our country.

Telecommunications act of 1996
cont...
Look into it. This Act allowed communication companies to own multiple varieties of services which resulted in severe monopolization....
Hence the reason all Clear Channel Stations suck. The Trilateral commision has helped to consolidate power in the media as well... think about it.
Because companies have multiple mergers.. When a Label drops a single, they blast it through their owned stations across the country, sell it through their merger with a phone company as a ringtone, and play it on MTV and BET non stop.. .
It's Like ... You are going to like this song if you like it or not.
This is why it is imperative we support independent media like Infowars.com, Livewireurbanradio.com, marijuanaradio.com and any other independent radio you can.

Ode’s de Mari Juana
Here are some Hip-hop marijuana specialist who have created some of the classic Mary Jane Anthems;
Gangsta Pat – A relatively unknown 1990’s rapper from ....Memphis.... who spawned the cult classic rap hit, “I Wanna Smoke.”
Styles P – One of the members of the L.O.X. rap group, the self proclaimed “ghost” capitalized on the simple production of “Good Times” and created a hip hop classic and ode to Mary Jane. With lyrics like, “I smoke like a chimney/ I smoke like a gun when a killer see his enemy/ I smoke like Bob Marely did.”
Scarface- The classic cut Mary Jane was an underground hit in ’96. The song starts off with Face whispering “I don’t remember feeling like this.” I’m sure it’s because of you were high Face.
Afroman- How could we forget the classic funny song Because I Got High. I guess he forgot about his rap career because he got high.
Mystikal- The rapper that sounds like he is on fire already, made tree different versions of his Still Smoking track. One in which he depicts the tale of getting busted with pot in his car, another a tale of smoking in hotel room, and the last just an ode to Mary Jane.
Young Buck – So in Love with Bob Marley and claiming “He smoked so much people think I’m Jamacian,” buck hooked up with Bob’s son Kymani Marley and spawned the reggae-esc song “Puff Puff Pass.”
Bone Thugs N Harmony; The quintet of gangster rappers who first popularized fast rapping and harmonizing albums laced with lyrics with references to the refer, but also have some of the classic songs to listen to while partaking of the canibus; Bud Smokers only, Buddah Lovers, Blaze It, Bad Weed Blues, and The Weed song. “If everyone smoked a blunt the world could be a better place,” once rapped Krazyie Bone… I wonder.
Cypress Hill – The first Latino rap group to go platinum, and one of the first to blatantly make ode’s to the green plant. Song’s like Hits from the Bong, Spark Another Owl, I Want to get High, go perfect with their heavy bass production and odd sounds. Frontman and lead singer (rapper) B-Real once said, “First it started with a nickel/ then a dime/ then a twenty/ spending up all my money.” Their new album “Rise Up,” will also drop on 04/20/10. coincidence?
Snoop Dogg or Dr. Dre– They weeds no introduction, Snoop the ....America....’s beloved gangster pot smoker and Dre spawned the hip hop classics The Chronic,and The Chronic 2000 . Snoop has been in High Times, several times, in the movie Half Baked, The Man Show, and even His own show Fatherhood, expressing his love for the herb. Then you have songs including weed lyrics..almost all his songs, but specifically Gin and Juice, Smoking Smoking Weed, My Medicine, The Next Episode, And don’t forget their infamous Up In Smoke Tour...in the words of crooner Nate Dogg “Smoke Weed Everyday.”

AIDS Foundation gets into a rubbermatch with Porn Industry
Working hazards in the average person’s job may consist of smashing a toe, stapling a finger, slipping on some spilled liquid, or even falling on some ice. In the quickly growing porn industry the work hazards are far more severe in the form of diseases.
In the state with the largest amount of porn studios, California, the A.I.D.S. Foundation of L.A. has been fighting for law makers to force the porn business to use condoms in their productions.
Last August the advocacy group filed 16 complaints with state officials against porn companies citing them for violating workplace safety laws. They are fighting for rights so that the spread of the disease HIV will stop in the industry.
Since 2004 there have been a confirmed 22 cases of porn stars becoming infected with the deadly virus. To put it in perspective, in one case the performer and her husband had admitted to sleeping with at least 6 people each unprotected within the month of positive test. In all of the cases of infection it is easy to see how ones infectivity could trickle down into many people’s lives.
L.A. was responsible for providing a safe and healthy workplace, according to the foundation. They filed suit against the county because of the constant STD infection of porn stars.
Michelle Avanti, a former porn star made a statement as a member of the Pink Cross Foundation revealing, “As I continued to do hardcore porn, I started catching STDs all the time." She continued to disclose information saying, “"My lower body hurt so badly and at times my private area felt like it was a blazing fire. I could no longer work because I caught so many STDs and infections. I believe that if condoms had been allowed to be used in my own films, I would not have suffered so many physical ailments and infections."
The Pink Cross Foundation is a civic aid organization devoted to offering adult workers in the porn industry emotional, financial and transitional support for those who want out of the adult industry.
A former porn star, interviewed by this writer, exposed the reason why it has not been as backed by current stars as former stars, “Some of these stars don’t want the forced condom use because plain and simply, they get paid more if they don’t use them. It’s about the money.”
The AIDS Foundation did a survey of 58 films made by the biggest companies that operate in California. Of the 58 films, which included films by Vivid Entertainment, and Hustler, two of the most prominent film makers in the industry, only two scenes used condoms.
The porn industry argues that regulations within the industry have done a wonderful job of containing all cases and maintain a strict testing policy of once a month testing. "If Los Angeles County chooses to enforce mandatory condoms, what you'll see is all adult production leave California. It will move to other places," said Steve Hirsch founder of Vivid Entertainment.
Despite these claims by the industry itself, another former star, Shelly Lubben disputes these claims. She says consumers need to become aware of what they are contributing to, "They're demanding harder and grosser porn. We want to educate them to exactly what they're watching -- diseased people ... It's illegal for bodily fluids to touch skin, and yet it happens every single day in the porn industry." She founded the Pink Cross Foundation because she contracted Herpes and HPV while in the porn industry.
Lubben Continues saying, "In my time in the industry, I did some very hardcore movies, and only drugs and alcohol could get me through them. I played a crazy game of Russian roulette with my life.”
According to the L.A. County department of health between 2003 and 2007 there were 965 cases of Gonorrhea, 2013 cases of Chlamydia reported by stars in the industry.
Michael Weinstein, President of AIDS Healthcare Foundation talks about the epidemic, “This is not just about one industry, but about our entire community, as the spread of disease among adult film performers endangers themselves as well as their sexual partners in and outside the industry."
The simple fact is porn will continue to exist because of the demand. Have people in this industry become blinded by the money and lifestyle so much that they have put themselves in serious health risk situation? Should legislators step in and force the industry to adapt to the current landscape?

All Access Live
“Geography has made us neighbors. History has made us friends. Economics has made us partners, and necessity has made us allies. Those whom God has so joined together, let no man put asunder,” this quote from JFK perfectly describes the partnership developed between the founders of All Access Live.
Masterminds Reality, Joseph Salvador, and Prophecy are the masterminds behind the endeavor. Each are established experts in their fields who have come together to create a new media venture.
Joseph Salvador is the person behind the scenes of the new media machine, All Access Live. After operating several successful media ventures in the past, Baroptics.com being one of them, he created All Access Live in 2003. The name stems from the popular show All Access Live. His team wired over 65 clubs all over the U.S., creating a network channel in which venues stream live events. The innovative ideas from Joe Salvador have created a ripple effect on the networks of people around him, leading to new joint ventures and enabling him to work with many new faces.
Reality is one of those many faces. In the late 90’s when the poetry scene in Denver consisted of local coffee shops and a more conservative crowd, he jumped into the local poetry scene and found success. The real life stories, frustrations and everyday occurrences he shared with the crowd were received with open arms. Reality quickly became a name to those in the community, helping to move the poetry scene from the coffee shops to clubs and venues, perpetuating the urban appeal.
Reality’s stage presence, comfort level and the quality poetry he spoke made him an natural host for events. After gaining fame in the poetry scene Reality had his first encounter with Joe. Being in the same social network as Joe, the two acknowledged each other, but didn’t conceptualize a way to work together until All Access.
Prophecy brings the experience of the media world, playing a part in multiple successful ventures. He worked with some members of Simpsons Prophecy to create the label Mysitc Three, later known as Three Cicsym. It produced some marginal success and allowed him to work with some other artists such as Militia All-Stars, Mr. Tank, and Young Dizz. Prophecy’s story runs deep, but he stresses the importance of today when he says, “Yeah I made money from the Simpson people… today is a clean slate. I need to work with my new team and it’s about what were going to do, yesterday is yesterday.”
The trio aligned when Joe and Reality started using Prophecy’s studio in Park Hill, and Prophecy noticed the amount of work ethic and dedication they gave their projects. Being a self proprietor, Prophecy quickly realized he wanted to work with the pair. Prophecy has brought a successful network of associates and previously established business ventures to the table for All Access Live. Prophecy since has secured deals with people like Collipark Music, All Pro Sports and Entertainment and many others.
With their successful past secured and in the bag, All Access Live is all about the future, and for them, the future is now. The group functions on the idea that the company is natural. Take the established networks of communication and combine it with a grass-roots approach. This gives proprietors the opportunity to use technology and gives the media capabilities to successfully market a product, whatever it may be. Working with Lincoln Financial Media, newly acquired Clear Channel stations and having major deals within the music and entertainment industry, they are a foot into the game before fully launching.
As a media outlet, All Access Live is wrapped in the latest technologies. Joe describes it as a mix between streaming live video and Youtube. Partners working with All Access are able to deliver quality broadcast streams, manage all their media and market their products using all the latest media technology available. All Access is presently providing media and video production solutions for partners like KS107.5, KYGO, FM 104.3 The Fan, Clear Channel, beModel, jockLIFE and many more.
Since All Access is a multi-faceted media entity they also have Pay Per View solutions. All Access Live can broadcast a live show, from any of their venues, and charge consumers anywhere in the world to watch the event, therefore maximizing the audience reach for any occasion.
Companies are eager to work with All Access because of all the people who are using their network capabilities to find new opportunities. All Access Live content is regularly scoured by industry professionals to find the latest and greatest, making it the perfect outlet for anyone looking to take their craft to the next level.
All Access Live has made a dream a reality for multiple people. The culmination of talents assembled had shown these gentlemen they have the tools to make this another successful landmark on their road to prosperity. All Access live will soon be unveiling a social network that will be fully integrated with their broadcast capabilities, allowing people around the world to broadcast events and utilize All Access Live’s services.
Locally, All Access is eager to work with local artist, companies and venues. For the listeners, they will broadcast live shows from Herman’s Hide-Away, amongst other places, that can watch live on the internet from home of your own home. For business owners and entertainers, All Access provides a free web player that can reroute a live show through their network so their supporters can view their work easily.
