73.

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.

Yes, most hams are on our side, Barry Goldwater was a prime example.

Poland is one of the USA’s oldest and most faithful allies

Where did you get that crazy idea?

Poland was a communist country during the Cold war, and a founding member of the Warsaw Pact.

“ they may soon start arresting anyone who questions the 2020 election.”

I saw that as well, but I noticed that they didn’t mention the 2016 election, the one that Hillary keeps bleeting on about saying that Trump stole THAT election. Call it what you will, the Big Reset, CW2, WW3, whatever, we are in it and one side it fighting, one side is not.

Times are changing, the time of endless incarceration are soon over, the times of mass executions will soon be upon us.

Poland, Hungary, CZ and other nations were handed over to the Communist after WWII. Yalta Accord is the worst black mark on our involvement in WWII.

You just posted propaganda.

The Polish People have suffered enough not to deserve that label.

Give them some credit. They’re actually going to Kiev while it’s under fire. It’s more than just wearing a ribbon, less than delivering armaments and real-time intel.

I can't help but see this as part of that final scene in Life of Brian in which Brian's being crucified and hoping someone brings him down (like what his crossmate says happens) and his old radical group comes by to give Brian encouragement for sticking to his convictions, and then they all leave.

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.

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.
