American phenom banned in U.K., but not in Miami! Talk-radio superstar Michael Savage makes 1st public appearance in 5 years September 06, 2010 © 2010 WorldNetDaily wnd.com MIAMI – Talk-radio superstar Michael Savage will make a rare public appearance at WND's "Taking America Back National Conference" here later this month. Savage will preview his new book, "Trickle Up Poverty" and provide a behind-the-scenes briefing on the campaign to get his name removed from the United Kingdom's list of banned personalities – one dominated by murderers and terrorists. Savage has not made a personal public appearance in five years. "Michael Savage may be banned in the U.K., but we're delighted and honored to have him join us in Miami," said Joseph Farah, editor and chief executive officer of WND. "There are few Americans who better understand the need to get America off its politically correct and suicidal path. He knows from first-hand experience where this path leads – to the kinds of cowardice, tyranny and injustice we see throughout much of Europe today." The conference is set for Sept. 16-18 at the Doral Resort in Miami. Reservations and ticket information is available by calling 877-768-2784 begin_of_the_skype_highlighting 877-768-2784 end_of_the_skype_highlighting, extension 105 during regular business hours or by going online to the conference website. In July, the new Conservative-Party-led government of Prime Minister David Cameron informed Savage it will continue the ban on the top-rated talk-radio host's entry to the U.K. unless he repudiates statements made on his show that were deemed a threat to public security. The U.K. Border Agency told Savage through a letter from the treasury solicitor's office that his "exclusion" from the U.K. that began last year under the Labour Party government of Gordon Brown will continue "in the absence of clear, convincing and public evidence" that he has "repudiated his previous statements." As WND reported, then–British Home Secretary Jacqui Smith announced May 5, 2009, that Savage was on a list of 16 people, along with terrorists and neo-Nazis, banned from entry because the government believed their views might provoke violence. Smith said it was "important that people understand the sorts of values and sorts of standards that we have here, the fact that it's a privilege to come and the sort of things that mean you won't be welcome in this country." Savage has called his ordeal a "true nightmare of Kafka." "The 'new' British government continues 'the big lie' initiated by the previous British government, all based on extracts of radio programs over many years edited by Soros-backed Media Matters to slander me," he told WND. Savage said that after "over one straight year of legal hell, I had hoped the new British government would remove my name from their list of actual murderers and terrorists." "Apparently there's been a change of window figures in England," he said. Savage hosts one of the nation's most popular radio talk shows, with an estimated 8 million listeners a week on about 400 stations, according to his syndicator, the Talk Radio Network. WND Books published his first three political books, beginning in 2003 – all three were New York Times bestsellers. The conference will also feature Rep. Michele Bachmann, Ambassador Alan Keyes, Colorado gubernatorial candidate Tom Tancredo, former Sen. and retired Admiral Jeremiah Denton, WND's Jerome Corsi, Aaron Klein, David Kupelian, comedienne Victoria Jackson, talk-show host Rusty Humphries, homeschool champion Michael Farris and many others in a lively, interactive forum that will include debates on some of the hottest issues of the day. It will be followed by a weeklong cruise of Caribbean that will include many of the speakers and participants.
