That’s kind of why the outrage over foreign ownership of US broadcast licenses is a bit moot. I’d prefer not to see it, but it’s not likely to make any difference because of the declining listenership of AM and FM radio and over-the-air TV. Many people don’t even realize their local Alphabet channel affiliate may have sold it’s license back to the FCC and now only broadcasts with low power or via a subchannel on another stations signal. And by streaming, of course, which is where the focus needs to be.
It’s a bit of a Catch 22 situation for the Left. While they’d love to cut Trump’s direct lines of communication off, they know only one entity controls the “Big Switch” of the internet, and that’s the Executive Branch. Now he’s put them on notice that their good thing (section 230 exemption) is about to end. Want to screw with the internet? The Executive controls it. Want to screw with over-the-air broadcasting? The Executive controls that too.
When covid-19 forced the closure of all inside dining, every restaurant in the country was in the pick-up and carryout business literally overnight. The same innovation will happen if anything threatens the free flow of information.
For two examples, consider Digital Radio Mondaile (DRM) which is going strong in Europe, and which allows voice and data transmission on the largely empty shortwave bands. Simple radios, worldwide coverage. Then there are satellite constellations - not just Elon Musk’s StarLink but OneWeb, which is based in the UK and has been struggling in todays environment. But so were companies that made face masks a couple of months ago.
The common advantage both technologies offer is global access to information that is independent of the US government. A DRM radio station could broadcasts uncensored news and information from Elbonia, for example, and the only thing the gov’t could do is jam it. And frequency hopping spread spectrum would make that ineffective.
Exactly.

Wow! CNN reported that story!
And I knew if I had my chance that I could make those people dance
Now, for ten years we've been on our own
And moss grows fat on a rolling stone
But, that's not how it used to be
When the jester sang for the king and queen
In a coat he borrowed from James Dean
And a voice that came from you and me
Oh, and while the king was looking down
The jester stole his thorny crown
The courtroom was adjourned
No verdict was returned
And while Lennon read a book on Marx
The quartet practiced in the park
And we sang dirges in the dark
The day the music died
A long long time ago I can still remember how that music used to make me smile
It’s all fun and games (and peaceful protest?) until the the forklift bashes in the front doors of the Best Buy...

Hypothetical: If you saw a guy on a forklift ripping up your store, would you be justified in shooting him dead?

ANTIFA [coordinated] SAFE ZONES?

Q seems clear D govs and mayors coordinated with Antifa
Nevertheless, the hysterical left will believe whatever cnn/msnb tells them
Great follow-up!

Wikipepedia - Rose City Antifa
(excerpt)
Rose City Antifa (RCA) is an antifa group founded 2007 in Portland, Oregon, United States. It has been called the oldest active antifa group in the nation.
Legally, I believe that looting permits lethal force.
Antifa is actually pretty pathetic and STUPID. They are no match for the best of our best. Bongino today was mocking the punk in Pittsburgh who had his parents take him to the police station once he was busted. WWG1WGA :)
Well said bob.
Thank you for sharing info pertaining to living in St. Louis. We will be apartment hunting this Friday and Saturday. Daughter told me earlier today that a 9:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m. curfew has been imposed. That means no brew pub visits. Bummer. However, a cousin, whom I have not seen in way too many years and lives about 45 minutes west, plans to join us for supper-in on Friday with his wife and daughter. (smile)
St. Louis - curfew @ 9pm. Nat’l Guard is staging at Lambert airport. Gov. has vowed to use all necessary resources to stop violence.

Copied/pasted from the daily live rioting thread. Seems maybe a larger threat out there. Need sauce...

Those blue bins look pretty new ... to store bricks and concrete. They should be traceable too. THESE PEOPLE ARE STUPID! RICO!
