I'm fairly sure that things will work out. I've actually been in places where an HF radio was the only comms available.

Your occupied Europe analogy is about 70 years out of date.

Things move on.

Go out in the world and play hard for 20 years and tell me that HF isn't useful.

Sir,
I have stated several times now that I am not trying to disparage HF or say its of no use. But HF has huge limitations compared with the type of communication we are using right now.

If I want thousands, perhaps hundreds of thousands, of similarly minded and concerned citizens to get some information ASAP, I could post it right here on FR. Then those citizens could join in, share information, and even come up with a plan. All within a matter of minutes or hours. These are people I don’t even know. And THIS is the type of communication that Obama is looking at controlling, just for that reason.

Now, how does HF compare? Let’s see. You send me your respons by HF, and I will let you know when I get it.
