I am curious to know when and from whom Berg learned his trade of working on towers, particularly the physical part. He was obviously very good at it, but that's not something that you just pick up or "learn by doing." For one thing, no one is going to let an amateur on their tower to train.

While I don't believe much of the puff pieces I read, I never questioned that this guy was a techie-geek growing up and loved to build things (electronics, etc.). I recall reading things about science awards in high-school, etc. Given that he also completed about 3 years of college (engineering), I think he would have had the training for all the wiring, infrastructure, etc. Combine that with a love for climbing... I believe, over time, he developed the necessary skills to be a 'Tower Guy'.

It seems that Berg had no such experience when he went to OK, but then when he returns he has an established tower business.

That's not the impression I got.

He and another His e-mails make reference to a white van that "we" had in Texas and Oklahoma. He also refers to a 2000' "kings" tower in Texas. Who is "we," and what is he doing in Texas?

His emails from Iraq use the word "WE" quite a bit as well. It is a continuing curiosity for me. Maybe he wasn't the 'lone contractor'.

I'm wondering if the Prometheus outfit which Soros funded was the instigating force. That may be why Berg named his business Prometheous and why Michael Berg took such steps to put his connection with his son's business on the ANSWER website.

I still have suspicions... but no proof. Prometheus Radio Project is a network with ties to many entities. They do alot of broadcast training to grow their propaganda biz (having matured from their Radio Mutiny days). It is fact that they have received funding from Soros and others. But, still no proven connection to Berg's Prometheus.

If the Prometheus foundation [it's a foundation, right?]

It's a non-profit Corporation (Pennsylvania).

... [if they] had a program to find and train young men to do this type of work, and Berg was one of its trainees, I would find that significant. Especially if the trainees are sent to OK to be trained by Iraqis.

They train in broadcasting for sure. I've never seen much mention of PRP working the infrastructure side of the equation, but I didn't look, either.

Some specific advantage above the general benefits of someone like ClearChannel to having communication tower capabilities. Knowing what that specialized benefit is could go a long way in learning what Berg was doing in Iraq and for whom.

Pure, unfounded, unsupported, tinfoil speculation on my part: Owning the airwaves and either controlling content or monitoring communications can win a war.
