Of course not, Silly.

A phone bank is exactly what needs to be put in place NOW. I mentioned this yesterday on onther post...
"Maybe we should think about setting up an alternative message system - which can be done easier that you may think.
It works on a mathematically infallible principal. It's a phone bank system: Everyone has 10 people on their list to call and pass on information. Each of those 10 - who have 10...etc. By just the 5th round of calling out - 100,000 can be reached - in less than an hour. (do the math).
Now, with several of these banks all over the country - vital information can be gotten out to millions within one hour. Just one phone bank per state could quickly reach millions.
The only way you thwart an enemies plans is to be smarter...and to be prepared to end run their tactics.
Mathematics is the one thing that is unchangeable - it is what it is. (BTW, for a fun math exercise, if a millionaire should ever offer you a wish - any wish - tell them you want 1 penny today, 2 pennies tomorrow, 4 pennies the third day and so on, doubling the money each day for 30 days. That's right. Just 30 days. Get them to sign an agreement before they get a chance to do the math ;o) How much money will you have a the end of the month? Will you be a multimillionaire? Do the math - :o)
The Mormon Church has millions of members around the world. They have this system and if a catastrophe hit, they can reach every member in a very short time -
as to 'throw away phones" - think on that one...It's reported that more people now have cell phones than have land lines now.
Indeed, many ask me why I still have my land line. Two reasons: ONE - I live where we have frequent power outages...the infamous ice storm of '98 left me without power for 19 days. The only link to the outside was my land line.
TWO - if they shut down the net, they can also - and will - pull the plug on cell phones. (An aside: What about the Super Grid that they have all ready to implement? They say it's mainly to save energy by having the ability, with the grid, to control your thermostat. That means they can also shut your power down totally. These people have been working all this out since their little WH puppet was in diapers. They've got their ducks in a row. It's up to us to keep out birdshot handy.)
rGet those phone banks built now - as to ID - each person would only need to know the names and/or numbers to 10 people. Security should lists fall into 'other' hands.
I can't believe we are talking about such things in this country.
But the Communists didn't take over Russia because the Russian peoples mind-set was such...and the Nazi's didn't take over Germany because the German People were of that mindset.
These despots have lived in every country and age since time began. All they need to do, to paraphrase, to take over is for us to do nothing, to not be prepared ahead...we gotta be good Scouts.
TOGETHER WE STAND OR WE FALL APART.
“By just the 5th round of calling out - 100,000 can be reached”
With net anonymity, it takes some work to find out who we are. Not much, though- an IP address and a call to the ISP, or a court order to Free Republic LLC. This net would cast wide.
But a phone tree takes only a few enemy agents to crack, or at least to track. Any member in a tree will get the identity of the incoming (caller ID) and the downstream ten as well. A little social engineering can reach further. The agent calls his ten (with a slightly modified message) and calls her handler as well, the militia is coming!
A call-in-only BBS may be more secure, especially if the incoming calls are not logged. Then, if the enemy finds the server they will have to put a trap-and-trace on it via court order to the telco, since capturing the machine itself won’t easily get a list of identities. There will be no outgoing calls. Someone with the number and security code gets the current load of data on the BBS server, and never other node members.
A dial-in-only voice message system would also work for short messages and one-time-pad cryptos for specified people such as other network nodes. That will avoid a sniffer looking for dialup computer transmissions, which would stick out like a sore thumb if the nets were blocked.
Who makes dialup connectivity and server gear?
Who makes voice messaging systems (which may be easier to get)?
