For several months now, she has been asking some pointed questions about Joyce Riley.
Riley, who has her own broadcast on the Genesis network, has portrayed herself as the lone voice, speaking out in favor of the veterans who became ill from serving in the first Gulf war.
The following version of events were told by Linda Kennedy.
According to Linda — who said that, at the time, she believed in the mission of Riley — was asked by Joyce to assist her with her business ventures. Kennedy stated that she agreed to stay with Joyce and her husband Dave to help them with their problems for a period of time.
To make a long story short, according to Kennedy, things began to sour when she refused to be manipulated by Riley. The scene is said to have turned very ugly, and Linda attempted to leave but Joyce and Dave allegedly attempted to trap her on their property.
Kennedy stated that she had brought a number of items — including furniture and computers — to aid Joyce and Dave in their business. The understanding was that the items would be returned. Linda stated that she was forced to leave them behind because she had recently had back surgery and could not load the heavy items.
The whole ugly account of what Linda stated she experienced while she was staying with Joyce and Dave is a story could rival a movie script for its intrigue.
After she returned home, Kennedy alledges that Riley had left messages on her answering machine, purportedly looking for her. Kennedy states that the messages were left at the time she was on Riley's property, and that Riley knew exactly where she was and how to reach her.
Following her decision to begin exposing Joyce and Dave, Kennedy says she began to fear for her life. She recorded a series of interviews with Jackie Patru in case something happened to her. Though the series was meant to be aired only if Linda disappeared from the scene, Jackie finally convinced Linda to allow her to air the series. The tapes aired on Sweet Liberty from April 19th - April 29th. Archives are available in the audio section of the Sweet Liberty site.
After spending a couple of weeks airing the expose' — then following up the series with interviews that continued to deal with the plight of the Gulf War vets and the Joyce and Dave situation — Jackie received a fax on May 11th from the shortwave station which airs her broadcast. They notified Jackie that Joyce Riley had purchased air time on the station and Jackie could no longer criticize Joyce or her show would be cancelled by the station. The station, WWCR, has a policy that none of their broadcasters are allowed to criticize their other broadcasters — even if the criticism is true.
Since Linda's broadcast isn't aired on WWCR, Linda was not subject to the censorship. She continued to air her evidence on her own broadcast, on First Amendment Radio.
The following is a clip of the June 26th broadcast in which a caller plays what sounds like a pre-recorded message of a man with an English accent saying that if she continues to say what she is saying, it will be the last thing that she says on this earth.

If you would like to hear the full broadcast, you can get it on the bulletin page now posted at sweetliberty.org.
On more note, I spoke tonight with a friend of mine who pointed out to me that there are websites in which a person can obtain audio sound clips of actors, actresses and other public figures for the purpose of making prank telephone calls.
One such website is Ebaum's World. Could this be where the caller received the apparent clip that was played on Linda's site?
