In a shocking revelation on RT.com, it has been reported that President Barack Obama’s White House has now quietly taken control over all private electronic communications in the United States. The move was made in the name of national security and has some civil liberties groups quite concerned.
President Obama signed an Executive Order on Friday, July 6. The order was a statement provided as the “Assignment of National Security and Emergency Preparedness Communications Functions.”
This is considered to be the broadest move yet by the White House when it comes to expanding the power of the federal government.
“The Federal Government must have the ability to communicate at all times and under all circumstances to carry out its most critical and time sensitive missions,” the president begins the order. “Survivable, resilient, enduring and effective communications, both domestic and international, are essential to enable the executive branch to communicate within itself and with: the legislative and judicial branches; State, local, territorial and tribal governments; private sector entities; and the public, allies and other nations.”
The Obama Administration says that the executive order allows them to be able to reach any citizen, at any time, under critical circumstances.
“Such communications must be possible under all circumstances to ensure national security, effectively manage emergencies and improve national resilience.”
The order establishes a government center that will coordinate the efforts behind the order. The center is designed to be prepared to operate in the event of a national emergency. The order, according to the website for National Communications Systems, says that “infrastructure includes wireline, wireless, satellite, cable, and broadcasting, and provides the transport networks that support the Internet and other key information systems.”
The interpretation is that the government now officially controls the Internet and everything you own on it. The government also has the ability to “seize private facilities and limit civilian communications.
Breaker breaker good buddy...it’s a citizen’s band radio. 10-4?
You can always use smokes signals until the EPA arrives.
It’s what the truckers use on the interstate.
I've been a licensed ham radio operator for over 55 years and worked 88 countries with a "wire in the trees" using less than 50 watts of power. With thin wire and a little ingenuity, you can span thousands of miles with an antenna that is virtually invisible.
Expansion of definitions and defining what is now within purview.
They had to the same thing after 1984 and 1996.

No. It's the length of a full wave at a particular frequency.
Oh crumbs....Thank you. I had no idea. I don’t think they are used here in Panama.
Thank you so much for your time.
P.S.
I need to study my comment to you more. They very well could be using it here unknown to me.
Thank you again.
Any Radio Shack will have them; also truck stops.
Thank you.
I suddenly remember what it is. “CB” was all over the place years ago. I just don’t think it is used in Panama; therefore, I had forgotten what it was.
10-4.
Thank you. I now realize what it is. I had just forgotten after all these years.
10-4.
We don’t have Radio Shack in Panama, but there are other places I can look now that you wonderful folks have adviced me.
Thank you.
10-4.
I called around to my neighbors and was told he received the same reception at each home.
Sorry about the multiple posts.
Which is why I quoted "short distances" (tongue in cheek).
Good on ya - I've done the same except from 10,000 feet.
