No.............it’s worse than that. they are going to take a bunch of stuff off line. anything could actually be going on. That is what has people upset.
Are they going to take the internet down at the same time?
I kind of wish I had a HAM radio too, but in the event of martial law ANY non- governmental radio transmission is verbotten, and if you try it they can triangulate your coordinates pretty quickly and send a Gestapo team out to pay you a visit, or just have one of their loitering drones ship you a hellfire missile via express air mail and reduce your location to a smoking crater in no time at all.
After a few examples are made of, others will become very reluctant to push that “transmit” button.
Any broadcast, no matter how short, could be your last.
Even the possession of radio equipment will be prohibited. In Nazi Germany getting caught with even a radio receiver would get you a one way trip to the extermination camp, and in North Korea I understand that the only radios allowed only pick up the government station which blares propaganda 24/7, and people are not allowed to turn them off or even turn the volume down.
When I was in Inchon in ‘68 it was illegal for the South Koreans to even listen to the Nork radio stations... and they were supposed to be “free”.
For years now I have felt that as long as we have dissidents like Rush and Beck on the air, not all hope is lost. Frankly, I’m surprised that we still have access to them as well as other alternative opinion - like FR for that matter.
How much longer though? Stay tuned.
We are hearing rumblings of something big coming down in the Middle East possibly involving Iran about the same time as this “test”... I’m sure it’s just a coincidence though.
Is something coming down that we are not supposed to know about?
Again... stay tuned... if, that is, we are able to.
