For
nearly 10 years, from 1990 to 1999, The
Omega Report was cablecast to more than 3.5 million
homes in Tennessee, Kentucky and Philadelphia on community
access television and educational channels, such as those owned
by Drexel University in Philadelphia.
It
was hosted and produced by award-winning journalist and web
designer Jim Moore, director of the non-profit Phoenix
Foundation, a research institute focused on
activities to prepare the human race for the "cataclysmic
events" of the coming 21st Century. The
show presented what it called "the real X-Files" as
well as documented evidence of government conspiracies,
cover-ups, mind control, weather control, the New World Order
agenda, Earth changes, prophecies, politics, science, astronomy, evidence of
extraterrestrial contact with Earth, and a host of sometimes
unpopular alternative political viewpoints. The
Omega Report became very popular for its music videos
aired at the beginning and end of each show. In
1999, producer and host Jim Moore wound down the popular show
after a tumultuous decade that saw the show forcibly taken off
the air on Nashville's CAT-TV (Channel 17), then replaced after
a storm of controversy in which viewers, angry at the censorship
by the Muslim president of CAT-TV, flooded the local ABC-TV
affiliate, WKRN-TV, with calls demanding it be returned to the
air. WKRN,
unknown to Moore, who was out of town when the show was canceled
and the network affiliate aired its investigative reports,
obtained exclusive film of the CAT director's handwritten orders
to playback staff that "under no circumstances" was
the show ever to be allowed on the air again. This
event occurred shortly after Moore forecast the Oklahoma City
bombing on the show two weeks before it happened, claiming it
would be engineered by people inside the Clinton administration
for the purpose of scaring Congress into passing a draconian
crime bill. Moore, the week after the bombing, claimed that U.S.
militias were being unfairly targeted and their words being
twisted and taken out of context in network news reports. He
proved it by airing the comments uncensored and in full context
from figures like "Mark from Michigan" (Mark Koernke)
who was being fingered at the time as possibly being involved in
the bombing. Unknown
to the CAT-TV heirarchy, the show counted some prominent
officials among its fans, including some top Tennessee Emergency
Management Agency (TEMA), and FEMA officials, as well as a
future governor of Tennessee. After
an angry confrontation at CAT-TV's next board meeting, in which
three board members resigned in support of the show, the entire
station itself was shut down when Viacom officials discovered
drug and alcohol use taking place in the CAT production area
during "off-hours." Also, it was discovered that one
board member was using the station's equipment for personal
profit, coming into the station and night and taping TV
commercials for his clients. To top it off, Viacom officials
were stunned to learn that the director had left his young
daughter alone in the station while he was off "running
errands." They discovered it only after the girl's mother
showed up at the station demanding to know where her daughter
was; she was found in the props room. The
station was closed down for over three months ... until the
problems were resolved and The Omega
Report was allowed back on the air. The ruckus made a
lot of local news, including the front cover of the tabloid, The
Scene. But,
as he explained in his final show, these were not the reasons
the show was ending. Moore foresaw "terrible events"
coming in the next few years and had decided he did not want to
be in a metropolitan area when the breakdown of American society
began. This was less than 24 months before the events of
September 11, 2001 and the establishment of an American police
state which followed. From
television, Moore turned to the Internet and became an
award-winning web designer, honored by his peers around the
world. He has created many websites for himself and others. Today,
nearly a decade later, The Omega Report
is back ... online, without community access television
restrictions and censorship. We're offering a whole new schedule
of amazing discoveries, exposés and much, much more -
continuing to tell you what's really happening in the
world as well as gently reminding you that, despite how bad
things may become, we still hold the power to survive and
prosper. And by
the way, the music videos are better than ever! We'll
be publishing the schedule of shows soon.
