I got a little paranoid when FR went down the other day, making me wonder what the hell would I do If I didn't know what anyone else was doing.
I know about leaderless resistance and small groups, but there has to be an outreach mechanism to other groups apart from email and the internet.
The balloon could go up instantly and without warning, and we need a way to network instantly.
. . . mostly to keep people from going off half-cocked, not knowing what is happening nationally, or regionally.
LOL...all I could think of was messaging via ‘pony express’...silly...but I felt exactly the way you did when this site went down. There’s got to be a way to remain organized and in touch.
...you are supposed to use the FR decoder ring as soon as FR goes down...
I’ve been thinking about this very scenario for quite a while. Organization is the key and for FR members it is what we are lacking beyond the internet.
If the government shuts down communication via the internet...chaos will ensue. Psychologically Americans are addicted to information and taking over the net, TV, Radio, phones, cell phones...and issuing propaganda news will not serve them well.
Fidonet?
