The Other Page Radio

0:00Thank you so much. Hey, now welcome to WBCLP102.9 FM Boston. You are in time, you are in time, my friend, to hear the other page radio. I'm your host, Hey, Wuthanel, and I'm got something to say to you. If you are a veteran, honorably discharged, and you got benefits, and you're not using them,

1:08you're losing them. If you're not using your benefits, you're losing them and you don't want to do that. We at Triad Veterans League, then I'm a part of, are raising the level of disseminating information to you. Because if you get benefits, and you're entitled to those benefits, and maybe you think you're not entitled to get your benefits, you got another thought coming. You better get busy, like Lizzie, and get your benefits. You need to call up people. If you don't know who to call, you should call Robert Sancti-Augle. Robert Sancti-Augle is a good person.

2:14His number is 617-869-5713, or, yeah, that's it. That's it. 617-869-5713. That is his number. I can call him, and he's the commissioner, and it's office number. I knew I had it. 617-635-3026. That is the phone number of the commissioner for Veterans Services for the City of Boston, and he's a good man. He has the information that you need to make sure your benefits are coming your way.

3:20We need housing. We need jobs. We are veterans. We must be respected. We must be respected. I raised my hand, and I took an oath that I would follow orders, and I did for six years. And I come out, you tell me, I can't have a job. I get in trouble with the law. Nobody is there from the VA to help me. I know that they got a legal team over there at Harvard University, but there should be for veterans that are in trouble that have criminal offenses, some kind of legal assistance. We do advocacy here on the other page, radio.

4:21We do advocacy. We don't want people to think that veterans don't mean nothing. They do. They mean a lot. We got a lot of people that's been in this country, like I said, for two generations. And they were in one of those countries where they had to get to the United States military to come in there and fight for them like African American veterans did during the Korean war. When Sigmund Reed, Sigmund Reed was the president. They fought so hard over there in the Korean War that Harry S. Truman, who was the president at the time signed an executive order, 9981. 9981. That was ending segregation in the United States military.

5:28But what I'm telling you is that the fight continues because we know that a lot of veterans that got bad conduct discharge is, they got them because there was a lot of trauma and drama in their lives while in the United States military. November 5, 2026. Try Ed Veterans League invites you to come to the Strand Theater and do just the on Columbia Road. I know you know where it is. At 5 p.m. it's open to the public. Beyond the uniform initiative will introduce itself to the public.

6:39Beyond the uniform initiative acknowledges the importance of service to our country as veterans. We also want to acknowledge and award a few veterans that continue to serve their country by serving their community not as veterans but yes as veterans because veterans care about their community. Veterans should be honored. We shouldn't be talking about getting housing and other services. That's our benefit. You don't need to be a veteran to come out and support us on November 5, 2026 starting

7:47at 5. We are asking some of our elected officials, Ed Flynn in particular, our business leaders for a long time. John, Mr. John Cruz. We are asking City Council of Bryan Wardle, the first in the whole City Council to come out and stand and tell us why you have not found a way to get housing and jobs. For veterans, I want you to come and say why you say one thing and do something else. When we raised our hands, we didn't know anything about those people that you said we

8:52were to fight and kill. And they did that. They did that and when they came home, they were no longer bright eyed. They didn't want to talk about their experience in the military. They didn't want to do anything. A lot of them was to try to hide. And it didn't hide that good because their behavior was one that they couldn't hide the things that they were doing to themselves, twisting their minds. It has been so rough for some people that somehow even taking their own lives.

9:55Here's another thing. See, they was given the veterans, African American veterans, what is called bad paper because they use drugs to try to get through, to get to. And then it became a situation where it is said that because of the Caucasian increase in substance abuse, they did a little more examination and found out about PTSD. And that changed the dynamics of what kind of discharge as you would get. Because there were so many white boys facing bad kind of discharge until they gave them honorable discharges or general discharges in honorable conditions that allowed them to

10:55get their benefits. Now we got to be real careful. We got people that contemplating suicide. You know what I mean? Some do. Some have. Right now. We got to help these people. Now, when you have mental health issues. A lot of those people that have those struggles around PTSD and other mental health challenges, all the time, as they have veterans, they don't go to the VA. They stay in the streets.

11:58And if you are a veteran, you shouldn't have to stay in the streets. I gave you those numbers for a certain reason to use those numbers to see how you can get what you need. 857204-5312. You can call that number. You can get referred. You don't have to be in the streets. December, I mean November the 5th, we want you to come and see the veterans that are working in the community and have them for some time and making a difference. They're going to have the Oscar and the show family, the other program company there.

13:05They great. We're going to do some singing. We're going to do some awards. But we're not going to forget our veterans and what they stood for, what they stand for. If you don't appreciate somebody that raised their hand and said that they would fight for you. You know, you run into some of those people, they say that veterans are stupid because they went in. They weren't stupid. They wanted to serve their country. And they did. They came home. They was all messed up. Let's take a little break right here. Put a little music in here and see what's happening with that man.

14:08You know, we want you to have a great day. We're going to talk a little bit about 9-11 when we come back, okay? We're going to talk about what Taya did. I'm going to take a little time. I'm going to take a little time. I'm going to take a little time. I know I need to make things right. I said I'm going to take a little time.

15:17Yes, we need a new world. To wipe away the tears that forgive us for our sin. I said we need a brand new world. To do away with the wicked stuff that we give million once again. My friend and I'm tired of seeing my people struggling with me. Take a little place with no pain or suffering. And you say that life is feeling better but I ask you once again. What might still feel like Daniel when the lion's dead? We must make a change in our rhythm.

16:22Every time we were truly waiting. You don't have any more vacations to sell. Why did you leave that round? Doctor, we don't have any more time for him this now. But we don't have any time in the same way, don't we, Larry? So, I'm going to have a... To wipe away the tears that forgive us for our sin. I said we need a brand new world. To do away with the wicked stuff that we give million once again. My friend and I'm tired of seeing my people struggling with me. Nice party isn't it? It's a wonderful life.

17:34Get a little sound and yell on the other page radio. My name is Hayley Fonell. It's WBCALP102.9FM Boston Postons. Community registration. We want to thank folks here, good folks that are being in the media for just looking out for us. We appreciate you. The opportunity to talk about things that we need to talk about. To update you on why we are organizing the initiative beyond uniform. I came out of family veterans. My uncle was a little veterans. I'm a veteran and my brother was a veteran. He was an officer too. I tell people about my brother because he's my hero. Being in the military was one of my uncles.

18:38It was a way to get out of what he thought was racism. He was a Navy. He wasn't too good for him. He came out when I was going to college. I was in the GI Bill. He gave me a hard time. I gave the African American veterans that fought in the Civil War. I went online and saw some of the letters. People called it a certain Civil War. They called it a Helm. I got really understand that biological differences is no reason for Haken. We put up something together strategy to displace us in the order of human dignity. We've been fighting that every sense of me.

19:38You know, you're going over there with a gun to kill some people you don't even know. Because our government said it ain't enemies. Come back all messed up mentally because of what you did. It wasn't right. It's not right today. 25 years ago, they run the airplanes in the buildings killing up Americans. And downtown the Twin Tows in New York, Pennsylvania. It was all over the place with the airplanes running them up in these buildings. And then it turned out called it 9-11 because it happened on September 11th, 25 years ago, now 26. I remember that day.

20:41I was working for HIV organization going into the prisons and talking with people incarcerated about protection. I was scheduled to go to a conference in Miami, Florida. They didn't know the conference today. They dropped in bombs. They running in the buildings. 9-11. Yeah. I was walking around shocked. People running into buildings where people were working. I got destroyed by crashing airplanes. The roots of the problem I believe is H-H-A-T-E.

21:52And we still care about them. Try veterans that needed them a part of one of our programs at Steter and we put together that following year, an event at the Sonny Temple in Groove Hall here in Boston that dealt with that violence. We had churches and youth quiets when it was churches singing and judgment. Most of them were right. We were chatting hour and time. We had some other community leaders and notables come up and speak. We got an importance of, you know, chilling on that violence stuff, man. I didn't even happen. I was born like this. I didn't get nothing to do with you.

22:55You know, all that hate and you push that back. Push it back. I'm talking to you. Looking around like you know-no who I'm talking to. Young people are going insane with these guns. And then they don't take airplane and run into a building called a 9-E-Level. Like I said, they'll try better. We participated in those programs for healing. We did a few years, like three years, I think, for three years on a rope. Working with the Vulcan Society and the Sonny Temple in Groove Hall and the churches and our Theta Company. Trying to get people to understand. We don't kill. I don't get you nothing.

23:55It don't get you nothing. If you want to get something, you can need your rights straight now. Call them numbers I gave you. That's what you do. Because if you serve this country and you got benefits coming, you need to get them. Stop hitting. I'm trying to get people to understand.

25:12I'm trying to get people to understand. I gotta detach from you. It doesn't matter, you need to put me first. I gotta detach from you. I gotta detach from you. Detach from you. I gotta make good. I gotta let go

26:17As hard as it may be, I need to put me first Put me there to let go I gotta let go That was a young lady that I'm so proud of, SkyFords graduated from Emerson College and became a member of the Honor Society I was happy when it was a little things that were around your neck It's getting a lot of some shoes Quite young and she stayed with us

27:19Just she got a little older We're gonna thank our parents for being parents So much you can do with the child of your good parents So much I used to look at veterans on the base They had children and they lived in housing on the base First of all, they were on the base with their families They were very close Close families were what we need to have more of Sharing, caring together But when you are in the military and you have those traumatic experiences and stuff and you need help You need to know what your benefits are What do you go to see for this or what do you go to see for that

28:20Try to get back on track because trauma and trauma in the military is not like highly in the streets You could be talking with somebody in a combat zone today and you or them may be going tomorrow Just like that, man, I'm going And people have, you know, issues And we have to take care of them You know, I see them I talk to them and they feel it's all mispriced Let me be CLP102.9 every in Boston Boston Community Radio Station My name is Haywell Finale this program is the other page of radios

29:21We fight for veterans because we have to You know what, let me tell you something We saw this program in 1997 1997 1996 30 years We've been working with HIV COVID We did a collaboration with the Northeastern University School of Public Health Tribe veterans league I did a scientific survey and came out with a finding about how our veterans are treated if they were African-American and why they were treated that way and nothing has changed because the commissioner at the time

30:24they was calling them a commissioner not only called them secretary but they didn't move on it Nobody that's ugly want to be called ugly and certainly when they said that the VA was costly and sensitive and need to change that and hire some people that look like their clients so that the client could be truthful about the situation and not be reluctant to sharing it See there's a reluctance there and when you get a reluctance you know that's like you're not going to get the whole thing but you know what is needed not 9988 or 81

31:24that was something that Harry had swimming day but we got to learn how to love each other or anything that was coming from a veteran but you know need love of course he does of course he does because we got two guys we got the women there they really called it and catching it I used to read some of them cases and how the government seems to not believe the women or the men you know they just know that didn't happen and it did and it did see we don't believe each other try to get them

36:26Don't let the people in the White House give you the dark house. They ain't doing nothing. They ain't even serving the military. It's a my command and chief. I'm not command and chief. My command and chief serving the military. I want to check it way. Honest from veterans. That service since the American Revolution. Yes, from stuff right there. I'm telling you, man. Can't put a pass on my note that much. You're going to say that these men and women that were part of the United States military didn't do what they said they did. How'd you figure that out? Here they go up in Canada because they

37:27fought so good during the American Revolution. The men gave them their freedom. He didn't take their freedom like America tried to do. I was viewing something about lynching and murderers of people that were black coming back in their uniforms and wanted to get a job. And how did it treat it? It is pathetic. And we reject all of that. We're not trying to get evil. We're trying to get jobs. We're trying to get housing. We're trying to get a chance. I didn't say insurance. I said, it's a chance. It's ASS, you are a NCES. Silences. We raised our hand and we took that oath.

38:33And you had those sentences that people were going to die. So you could live free. But the people that did the fighting because of their biological features, you wanted them to die. No, we can't have that. When we raised our hand, it said we will follow our orders. We didn't question anybody. They went in there. I was fortunate. I wore the uniform, but I didn't have to go in there, even though I had a gun downstairs in my name. You know, they got an armory downstairs at these companies.

39:36And they got somebody to take care of weapons for you until you got to go out on the range, until you got to make that trip. Yeah. Can't thank nobody for that one. I mean, you just got to think about your benefits. Call them people up, ask them what your benefits are. Because you got some. You definitely got some. You certainly want to do this thing on. No, for my fifth at the strain data. It was all up to the public. No, we got some people coming and going to say a few words. About beyond the uniform initiative.

40:38We're going to give veterans a voice. Nobody's going to try to act like they don't know what time it is. But we didn't do nothing. Everyone think Ron Armstrong said. Ron Armstrong says the black veteran historian on America's involvement. He's a tired now, but probably could still pick his brain because he's a smart guy. Ron Armstrong said everybody. Don't forget 911. Just say a prayer for us, please. Because you got a lot of people still fighting with our 911 memories. Still doing that. Still. I'm grateful to the day to be able to come in and say a few words.

41:38And I'm looking forward to seeing your November 2nd, the 5th. I'm sorry. I got to be real careful when I give out these dates because we want you to come. So I said November the 5th is the date. 5pm at the strain data. We want to see that. And if you're interested in being a part of the Oscar Michelle family theater program company, we have a date for you soon. Real soon. It's been a great day here. But you all even though I can't see you, I know you feel me. Feel me. Yeah. You're going to get buried rushing on out of here.

42:39Thank you so much for your time. And for your prayers, please continue that. You know, that's helping everybody when we pray for each other. You got to do that. Don't forget. God is great. You know. Let's help each other. Thank you for your service veterans. September the 11th. That's when they did that. They still hate. No other reason. Let's do that. Let's build some love. Turn on the hate. Hate your weight. Habanite. Love.

43:40Got to let it blow. Got to let it flow. Thank you everybody. Hey. Hey. Hey. Yeah. Played out real good, hey, boy.
