Dear Pacifica KPFT Members,
KPFT’s history is a part of Pacifica’s foundation for perseverance and passion to make the world a better place !
KPFT’s transmitter/tower bombing took place just outside Houston city limits, an excuse for the Houston Police not to investigate, but there were Klu Klux Klan members in the police force and reportedly STILL ARE ! KPFT kept the story alive, and the F.B.I. came ~2 years later, and brought the bomber to court. The bomber told that he was most proud of his bombing action.
I believe the Local Station Board must CREATE TOGETHER WITH THE COMMUNITY FOR THE BENEFIT OF ALL and FOR THE FUTURE !
ON THE AIR : RADIO THEATER ? TALENT SHOWS ? INTERNATIONAL FESTVALS ? TOWN HALLS ADDRESSING PROBLEMS like :
- ABDUCTIONS/DETENTIONS, Houston is #1,
- FOOD SCARCITY,
- HOMELESS SCHOOL CHILDREN and ADULTS,
- MASS INCARCERATION (Houston’s Harris County Jail had 24 deaths in 2025). Involve input from formerly incarcerated, former and present judges, lawyers, families of incarcerated, probation officers TO BLOSSOM NEW MEMBERS, AWARENESS OF THE STATION’S VALUE AND RELEVANCE TO THE COMMUNITY !
In 2020 and 2021 PNB Programming Committee, I got to work with great Pacifica activists members delightfully designing a local Programming Committee connecting with the community students, teachers, non-LSBs, to expand with visuals, captions, translations: MULTI- MEDIA ! COME ON PACIFICA !
Who is Nancy Saibara Naritomi ?
Born and raised in Pasadena, Texas, an oil refinery suburb of Houston, where I never saw a black person. I found out later that Pasadena was the KKK headquarters, but never heard of KPFT until 2008, after living 27 years in Japan, the last 4 in my car, after sueing the Japanese husband and the mistress, during which I dismissed my lawyer, hired a translator, and represented myself in the High and Supreme Court appeals in Japan.
A Japanese court decides if a mistress is a legal or an illegal mistress, because they have both ! I could not win child custody although some foreign wives married to a yakuza/gangster COULD WIN child custody, but the husband was not a gangster. I won compensation from both the husband and mistress which was rare.
In Japan I enjoyed teaching English conversation, got toddlers to speak, sing and read English BEFORE they were able to do so in Japanese ! I refused men in the ladies’ classes: one man in the room and the ladies clam up !
If Japanese women had a Pacifica radio station culture…
I also enjoyed making anti-war speeches about wars in Afghanistan and in Iran in my strange Japanese delivery while my comrades (teachers) distributed leaflets. People asked if I just stepped off the boat. Japanese police tried to stop me, and I fired back that there is no sign saying Bush supporters only allowed in this train station ! Lucky for me, Japanese police hesitate to a USA. citizen.
I am a member of PacificaFightBack.org and HealthCareForAllTexas.org which advocates for Medicare expansion.
