KLOKi is a pirate radio station operating outside of the law and without a permit or license. My gear can be confiscated and I can be fined, or even jailed, if the FCC detects my signal. I have already spent two decades of my life behind bars over KLOKi Radio (formally KLOK) after being charged with unauthorized control over professional radio equipment. Calling law enforcement, especially to bring them to my shows or any events I attend, would make no sense. It would be suicide. This is why I am very careful when and where I turn on my transmitters.

There are organized groups that infiltrate movements to disrupt and destroy the unity of the scenes they target. They come in all ages, sizes, colors, and styles of dress, and they dig deep into the culture to bring it down. We went to school with many of them who later became police, prosecutors, lawyers, judges, FBI agents, and even ICE agents.

They study the language, adopt the aesthetics, and mirror the values of the communities they intend to fracture. At first, they seem committed, often more vocal and more extreme than longtime members. But their goal is not growth or solidarity. It is distortion. They amplify internal disagreements and frame nuance as betrayal. They push rhetoric toward the outer edges until cooperation becomes impossible.

These groups thrive on mistrust. They suggest that leadership is corrupt, that allies are secret enemies, and that compromise is weakness. They encourage purity tests and public call-outs, knowing that constant internal policing exhausts people and erodes morale. Over time, energy that once fueled creativity, reform, or resistance is redirected inward and consumed by suspicion and infighting.

In some cases, the strategy resembles historic tactics such as COINTELPRO (FBI Counter Intelligence Program), where infiltration and psychological disruption were used to destabilize activist groups. While contexts differ, the underlying method remains familiar. Divide, disorient, and dismantle from within.

The most effective defense against such tactics is transparency, critical thinking, and a culture strong enough to withstand disagreement without collapsing into hostility. Unity does not mean uniformity. It means resilience. When communities prioritize open dialogue, shared principles, and accountable leadership, they become far harder to fracture, no matter who attempts to blend in.

Pirate radio has always been targeted by powerful forces, both locally and nationally. We do not exist to support power structures. We exist to break them down. As a result, we are constantly on the move in every space we occupy. That's what gives pirate radio its elusive nature.

Hostility is our number one threat. When we detect hostility, it is important to understand who the invaders are. Surveillance, signal tracing, intimidation, and infiltration are not new tactics. They are part of the landscape when you operate outside sanctioned systems.

As we begin the summer season a mile high, I hope to bring the entire DPark community together around skating, freestyle BMX riders, friendship circles, music, and conversation. The only motive is to bring people together safely in a public space where there are no power structures other than common decency and respect for one another. I do not believe there is any harm in that. On the other hand, I do understand the threat that kind of community poses to power structures.

As the energy builds, one person at a time, I ask that each of us stay aware of those who seek to divide. They are the ones who sow division. It is important that we know how to identify them so we can avoid them while remaining aware of their presence.

We are gathering in space of togetherness. Let's keep that way.
