You statement seems irrational, but let me try to understand.
Are saying, that with all of the intrusions into our daily lives by government, and there are quite literally thousands upon thousands of such stories here on FreeRepublic alone, that it is not logical to oppose giving the government ANOTHER tool to intrude in our lives?
Notice the use of the “in” vs “on” the hand, on these versions.
Thought you might find this interesting:
International Standard Version (2008)
The second beast forces all people-important and unimportant, rich and poor, free and slaves-to be marked on their right hands or on their foreheads,
New American Standard Bible (1995)
And he causes all, the small and the great, and the rich and the poor, and the free men and the slaves, to be given a mark on their right hand or on their forehead,

And it maketh all, the small, and the great, and the rich, and the poor, and the freemen, and the servants, that it may give to them a mark upon their right hand or upon their foreheads,
That sounds like 60WPM Badot TTY (not Muxed). Ocassionally shifting freqency.
I thought you were describing a “Hell Scriber” transmission.
Had never heard of a SZ42 cipher machine.
Most of the WWII crypto was encoded on a mechanical rotary encrypter, and then sent in Morse with a key.
Received in Morse and decoded with a like mechanical rotary encrypter (decrypter).
Opposing them on the right to privacy and secure in our homes, the 4th and 5th amendments, the 9th and 10th amendments, are always to be encouraged.
I don’t know, but it is something to research.
If youre like me, and do a lot of canning, youre probably thinking, so what?
No-no-no selfish person! How dare you be self sufficient! Dontcha know that you may only obtain nourishment from the approved Food Collective Distribution Centre? All private gardens must be razed, following the example of Prophet Stalin!
They replaced the 100ft or so dishes in geosync orbit with 350ft units. They unfold like some sci-fi umbrella and have great precision and are deformable on command. They are so sensitive that if pointed at Mars they can contact the rovers there directly....just imagine what that sort of DB gain is like pointed at the ground only 23,000 miles away. 23k miles is right next door for a 350ft dish. Weightlessness allows for such spindly dish designs....they would never work on the ground with earths gravity.....for one thing the wind would blow em away like giant kites.
Use a solar panel array to charge up a small bank of hi capacity capacitors and discharge them into a solid state transmitter at the focal point of such a dish in orbit and the multi-Gigawatt+ pulse could activate passive hi freq rfid devices on the ground and the incredibly weak return signal could be read by the 350’ dish with its super-cooled front end.....makes one think don’t it.
As a ham operator I salivate over the capabilities of such a system :-)
For you hams out there just run the DB gain numbers and do the math....the level of weak signal they can read from 23k miles is simply awesome! With the dish conformed to its tightest beamwidth and considering the super cooled front end components you would be talking of gains above 80DBi
...perhaps several db above 80! a single milliwatt at the feedpoint of such a dish could cover the earth with a signal easily readable by handheld receivers. It would be easy to generate a megawatt+ signal at the feedpoint for a tiny fraction of a second....imagine the rf power at ground level from that pulse!
We are catching up with England. Surely we will surpass that little country.
I hear ya!
The government will use these things. Therefore i.e. ergo thus they will be “misused.” They will be used to control people and movement.
Interesting.
Most of their work references NetBSD. I considered that before I started using Linux 10 years ago. It can be one of the most secure operating systems.
I DID NOT like what I found in FreeBSD. It is a fine OS, but the people who develop and maintain it are so openly Anti-Christian that I wanted to throw up.
History is something I enjoy studying, but the state of the art in cryptography and RF electronics have moved so far from the crude technology of WWII, that I could not see spending my limited time studying something like what they were working on.
I know they saw a challenger trying to use today’s technology to break this. But it is not for me.
I don’t think anyone here is opposing monitoring technologies per se. However, I hope all of us oppose their use by the state to keep tabs on the citizenry in general.
A business wants to monitor energy use throughout its facilities as a way of cutting costs? Three cheers for monitoring technology! A homeowner wants to do the same. Again three cheers! Want to keep tabs on a convicted felon? So long as, under due process of law, some monitoring was imposed by a duly constituted court as part of a sentence, I don’t think we’ll have much trouble with that, two cheers for monitoring techology used that way.
Using it so Big Brother can watch our electric bills, on the other hand is automatically misuse for those of us who still believe in liberty.
The combination of stupidity and hypocrisy evident on the left is stagger: signals intelligence intercepts of communications involving suspected terrorists outside the United States magically gets transmuted into “domestic surveillance” if it targets transmissions into or through the United States and is a hideous threat to civil liberties, but a government mandated program to check when and how much electricity we all use somehow runs into no problems with the Fourth Amendment.
Thanks for the pic.
It looks interesting. A mechanical puzzle.
Think about it today, it is just software.
Amazing.

I have home-brewed several TTY decoders and AFSK generators. My first TTY decoder was a Tube Type Twin Cities Unit. Many years ago.

Excellent potlatch!
You always come up with great animated graphics!
Thank you devolve. That was a quick one as I had the bar code gif.
