When the government shut down ham radio at the start of US involvement in the world wars (with Congressional declarations of war in place), they were doing it for the good of the country, much as Roosevelt took the preemptive move of interning certain Japanese nationals and US citizens of Japanese descent. With 20-20 hindsight, it seems horrible, but at the time, it wasn’t that clear.
Today, since today we are under occupation by agents of several foreign powers and certain non-governmental organizations, any move to shut down ham radio in the US would be contrary to the best interests of the American people.
The situation today is much different than in 1917 and 1941, but my point is that the power exists to do the same at the stroke of a pen, and “they” would have no hesitation doing just that.
I fully understand the need for security. My Father worked on the Manhattan Project and he made it clear how important security was. I also held a secret clearance for many years.

Not giving them any credit. We all know how phony these people are. In reality they will be filmed on a set to look like they are there.
I know how phony American leaders are. I know how phony Israeli leaders are. I give other leaders in other countries that I don’t know, the benefit of a doubt, at least tentatively.
“Roosevelt took the preemptive move of interning certain Japanese nationals and US citizens of Japanese descent”
Every Freeper needs to know exactly how they identified those folks:

Don’t worry, .gov promises never to do that again—well, unless there is, ya know, an “emergency” and you are of the wrong nationality.
Would be nice if Biden joined them!
