BLOCKING MEDIA Satellites- Denver/ Twin Cities !

BLOCKING MEDIA Satellites- Denver/ Twin Cities !

Comrades,

WE OWN THE MEDIA NOW !

Layer single sheets of Aluminum foil, in slightly overlapping rows, onto a cardboard sign ( entirely covered );

attach sign to pole;

hold up or suspend sign DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF MEDIA SATELLITE DISHES !

Aim to shield towards the CENTER of each dish, reaching, if possible, between the dish and the small arm suspended over the dish's center. Else, just make the foil- covered sign large enough to block a majority of the surface area of the dish. It WILL be blocked, even from a distance !

But, the farther you are from the dish, the larger the sign will have to be.

MAKE UP SEVERAL OF THESE; individuals can walk around patrolling Media Centers, and can also agree TO CONVERGE ! ( You may DISGUISE THESE as regular text signs- for example, as a ruse, IN SUPPORT OF the Network you are blocking ! And, it is OK to bury the foil layer under cardboard, paint, etc. )

( Of course, any continuous metallic sheet or fine wire mesh will also work : metallic wire window screen, aluminized mylar ' space blanket ' material, etc. )

The MicroWave CANNOT pass through anything metallic at all.

Do you really think anyone can get close enough to one of those TV trucks to block the signal? Half the trucks have the antennas on telescoping poles from the roof, the others are giant dishes on top of the truck.

Whats more If I do put climb up there and block the signal, doesn't that mean all that radation from the dish is going to cook me like a microwave oven?

Can you say microwave burn?

I'm one of the engineers working the DNC. Just a heads up, we transmit at seven times the frequency of a microwave oven and up to an order of magnitude more power.

If you get close enough to the dish to try that trick, you stand a far better chance of getting burned then obstructing the signal. However, you are welcome to try. I think it would be a fun experiment to watch.

use a space blanket

suspended from a balloon or two... or cut the blankets into strips about 2" wide so they look like a fringe with the strips hanging down... or you could make a spark-gap transmitter (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spark-gap_transmitter)

How do you . .

. . plan on getting anywhere close to any of the network satellite trucks or dishes? In theory the whole idea could work but you basically going to have to have a long pole and be right next to the truck (like be able to reach out touch the side of the truck and a 15 foot pole) to even maybe be able to get the foil near it. All the national networks uplinks are secured in compounds about the only shot you may have is local media outlets outside the secured area and that will accomplish nothing.

i think this is a counter-productive suggestion

I don't see that blocking media signals would accomplish anything worthwhile, and if it was attempted, it certainly could create a mainstream-media firestorm of controversy. I can imagine the headline, "Protesters who claim to favor free speech are caught sabotaging the free speech rights of others..."

I think that what we (Indymedia) should aim to accomplish is becoming an effective alternative media source, and try to move beyond some of the shortcomings that we see in the mainstream media. That may mean entertaining a wider range of points of view. It also means that we must recognize when ideas are controversial or ill-conceived and, rather than shut out the person making the suggestion, we must use discussion and reason to reach an understanding of the possible consequences.

Readers must also appreciate that Indymedia sites bend over backwards not to censor (except in the case of hate speech, commercial speech, spam, etc.) That means we may occasionally see suggestions or ideas promoted that many of us do not agree with, or would not support.

This stupidity indicates you may have already tried this...

I'm an owner/operator of one of these satellite uplink companies who are hired by the large media outlets and will be working at the RNC in the Twin-Cities.

If you haven't tried this already, then I welcome you to try it. The amount of radiation you deflect from it's intended target will in fact make you the target. Regardless if you use some sort of long pole, big stick, or climb on top of one of our trucks... You're body, being like a sponge to RF radiation will soak up most of the deflected signal and will be as if you're standing directly in the beam.

Please try it... People like you shouldn't breed anyways. Perhaps your mom tried this when she was pregnant with you... Which explains why you're so freaking dumb.

I promise this isn't a mere attempt to deter you from you're childish mission, but the "Danger - RF Radiation" and "This Equipment may KILL YOU" signs are very serious. So serious in fact, that even I don't go up there when I'm transmitting.

I'm laughing at you lack of basic common sense. Please leave my country. Maybe Mexico will be a... No... Nevermind. Even they won't take you.
Stupid.

Don't be stupid in your comments I'm from Mexico and I'm an ENG Sat truck operator, we don't take stupid people like this or like you back in my country and by the way let them try it that way they will not reproduce any more and have more stupid people in this world.
P.S. Yo can try it too so we get rid of racist predigest people like you.

PuhLEESE!...Let everyone know when you do this, so the news photographers and cameraman can get a good shot of you setting yourself on fire!

Think how cool you'll look, all burned and scarred.Chicks dig scars, although 3rd degree burns all over your body may not be exactly what they like.

And as an added bonus, should you survive, you'll certainly be commended for helping with population reduction, since you'll be sterile! Yep, no worries about pregnancy from that point on, since your little sperm cells or eggs (whichever the case may be) will be fried!

Good luck with that plan there kids....

The world needs a few less tree hugging hippies! Even better, you'll get a very nice 3rd degree burn scar to show people if you survive. When I read what this idiot was suggesting, I laughed my a$$ off. This just proves that protesters are really nieve and really stupid.

Please tell the truck ops when you do this because it will be very entertaining to watch you set yourselves on fire!

Aside from losing your eyesight (your retinas will be severely damaged in only a few seconds of direct exposure to the RF energy), have you thought about the very, very real possibility that one or more truck ops will beat the ever living shit out of you?

News photogs and truck ops tend to be larger and stronger than the average person because the job requires that sort of person. They're also very competetive and aggressive. And now you want to play games with them while they're working?

So what do you think will happen to you when you try this little stunt with the wrong photog or truck op and they start tuning you up? Do you think the police (who hate you, by the way) are going to stop them from knocking your teeth out with a lightstand?

This is a direct recipe to get the ass kicking of your life. And you'd be getting off light if that's all that happened. Blindness is forever.

Wow. Okay, you figured out that aluminum foil can reflect the elecromagnetic spectrum.

Now, for the ten-thousand-dollar-visit-to-the-emergency-room question, have you yet figured out that there are frequencies of the electromagnetic spectrum that the human body easily absorbs? Do you know what power and frequency an uplink satellite dish on a media truck puts out? Do you have the faintest idea of what will happen to the human body at that power and frequency? This isn't rocket science. You can find the basic answers by studying microwave ovens and the FCC amateur radio exams.

I won't even get into the astonishing lack of respect for the spirit of our constitution that your post entails. You want to prevent others' voices from being heard, because you don't like what they are saying. So much for freedom.

In short, your idea is not only unsavory and unworkable, but if tried, could badly injure or kill others. Dangerous nonsense.

Let them try

This could be the funniest thing I ever read. You really think the truck engineer would allow you to stand out there holding your reflector?

PS- the tall mast trucks are ground-based point to point microwave. The "big dish" trucks are satellite.

Responding to Harmful Government Inaction, Protestors Stop Blasting on Coal River Mountain
1 day 9 hours ago
Anonymous

PETTUS, W. Va. – Early this morning two concerned citizens, Dea Goblirsch and Nick Martin, locked down to a drill rig on Coal River Mountain’s Bee Tree mountaintop removal site, effectively stopping blasting. Two others, Grace Williams and Laura Von Dolen, joined them in direct support, holding a banner with the message “Save Coal River Mountain”.

These nonviolent protestors have taken this action to bring attention to the extreme danger facing residents of the Coal River Valley from blasting near the Brushy Fork Impoundment. They plan to stay locked down until law enforcement removes them.

Resident of Rock Creek, W Va., Delbert Gunnoe, stated his concerns with the blasting, “You know when they put a blast over there, and it shakes the windows over here, at what, ¾-a-mile distance, imagine what it does over there.” Gunnoe continued, “if [the impoundment] did bust…what would be the destruction? The town of Whitesville would no longer exist.”

The four are fearful of the blasting that Massey Energy began in late October. These blasts are 200 feet from the Brushy Fork Impoundment, permitted to hold nine billion gallons of toxic coal slurry. The impoundment sits atop miles of hollow, abounded underground mines, further endangering its integrity. By Massey’s own estimates, roughly 998 people will die should the dam break. The emergency evacuation plan states that a 40-foot wall of sludge, cresting at 72 feet, will flow through the valley, reaching 20-feet-high about 15 miles down the road. Apart from the initial flood, the impact of this potential spill would be felt along the Coal River’s 88 miles.

EVIDENCE THAT UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS WELCOMES FBI INTEL OPERATIONS AGAINST WHISTLEBLOWER
2 days 9 hours ago
gsosbee

The universities across the nation (and AG) do more for the fbi/cia than assist in the search for foreign terrorists; today our colleges and universities directly encourage their campus police and civilian employees to engage in unlawful intel operations against whistleblower
GERAL SOSBEE.

 

 

 

In November, 2009, the Texas Attorney General (AG) grants near blanket authority (in Case number OR2009-16316 & Case ID#367454) to the University Of Texas Police (UTP) and Harlingen, Texas (HTP) Police to withhold from Open Records (OR) disclosure the key data in their possession relating to Geral Sosbee. The AG also states in each opinion that the AG has no authority beyond the scope of the OR statutes. The AG thus hides from his responsibility as a citizen and human being for civil and human rights violations behind the the OR guidelines ( which are designed to allow the police to engage in witch hunts, stalking, harassment, fraudulent stings and other crimes as I have documented at many pages of www.sosbeevfbi.com.) I have also provided the AG with evidence of ongoing felonies against my person (continuing in Texas and other locations for the past decade); by the AG letters referenced above the fbi now gains the AG approval and authority to use UT employees (including UTP) in efforts to silence or kill me; see for example the specifics of some of my reports at

Please join us on Saturday, November 28th to stand in solidarity with Dr Mutulu Shakur before his appeals hearing on Monday, November 30th at the super-maximum Federal prison in Florence, CO.

Dr. Shakur is a New Afrikan (Black) man whose primary work has been in the area of health. He is a doctor of acupuncture and one of the most prolific, committed and conscious freedom fighters and political prisoners to whom the Black liberation struggle has given birth.

Since the age 16, Dr. Shakur has been a part of the New Afrikan
Independence Movement. As a part of this movement Dr. Shakur has been a target of the illegal Counterintelligence Program carried out by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (COINTELPRO). This was a secret police strategy used in the U.S. starting in the 1960's to destroy and neutralize progressive and revolutionary organizations. It is believed that Dr. Shakur's resistance to this program led to his arrest and trial.

Water is essential, in various ways, to all human activity. Water is something that humans, literally, cannot do without. Every human needs water in order live and to have a good life. Societies need water in order to be provide for the survival of their populations. Usable water, as a resource, is finite and distributed unevenly across the planet. Most societies have difficulty providing water to their populations, especially in the Third World. The inability to access water is referred to as the water crisis.

LA VIRGEN DE LA GUADALUPE ES DE TODOS LOS MEXICANOS, NO DE LOS CURAS

La Conferencia del Episcopado Mexicano (CEM) no está de acuerdo en que los Mexicanos utilicemos a la Virgen de la Guadalupe, como sucedió en la marcha de SME el pasado 11 de noviembre (2009) por “manipular el sentimiento religioso”, se ha afirmado en varias ocasiones desde que concluyó la 88ª Asamblea Plenaria del CEM. Los curas, junto con los políticos y las grandes transnacionales se han adueñado de nuestro país y de nuestros símbolos.

¿Ya se les olvidó a los curas que la Virgen de Guadalupe es el único símbolo religioso auténticamente Mexicano? ¿Ya se les olvidó que ellos llegaron con Hernán Cortés a robar y a imponernos su cruz a sangre y fuego? La Virgen de Guadalupe es Tonantzin y es nuestra, aunque no les guste a los extranjeros como ellos.

Lo que los curas del CEM no quieren es que el pueblo Mexicano, unido al SME, siga la trayectoria de don Miguel Hidalgo y les arrebate la jugosa ganancia.

Yo les pido a los curas del CEM que ya no nos “salven”.
¡¡Larguense de aquí!! ¡¡Larguense!! ¡¡Larguense!! ¡¡Larguense!! ¡¡Larguense!! ¡¡Larguense de México y de todo este continente!!

<p>When an American male (or an especially belligerent female) makes the challenging transition from late adolescence into early adulthood, he is faced with many decisions. One certain, specific combination of choices will result in his becoming a chickenhawk: choosing to “support” war, while also choosing not to serve in the military. His motto becomes: “Let’s you and him go fight; I’ll hold your coat.”</p>

<p>Depending on external circumstances, such an individual may become one of three varieties of chickenhawk:</p>
<p>• If there is no draft, and the nation is at peace, the individual becomes a Common Chickenhawk;</p>
<p>• If there is a draft, and the nation is at peace, the individual becomes a Chickenhawk First Class;</p>
<p>• If the there is a draft, and the nation is at war, the individual becomes a Chickenhawk First Class with Distinguished Fleeing Cross.</p>

The False Hope of J Street and the Gentile Problem
6 days 7 hours ago
Anonymous

Philip Giraldi on Antiwar.com produced an excellent article on J Street, the new “pro-Israel, pro-peace” alternative to AIPAC, which last month held its inaugural conference in Washington. [“My Problem with J Street,” http://original.antiwar.com/giraldi/2009/10/28/my-problem-with-j-street/]

The organization’s name, J Street, a lettered street which does not exist in Washington, DC, is presumably an effort to identify with K Street, which is considered the central location for lobbying firms in Washington, with the “J” presumably standing for “Jewish,” since “J” is not the only unused letter for Washington street names.

J Street has been excoriated by the neocons and other hardline Zionist rightists as being anti-Israel, while it has been hailed as a great hope for the future by many proponents of a more balanced, less pro-Israel, American policy in the Middle East. Giraldi, however, stands virtually alone in seeing things in a much different light. To him, J Street is “just another Israel advocacy group with a slightly more progressive and politically correct and therefore acceptable message.” In short, with its moderate, pro-peace image, J Street can more effectively promote the policies of the Israeli government, to the detriment of the Palestinians and the United States.

The media is still hell bent on terrifying you with their flu hysteria in order to inject you with toxified vaccines or worse; thus I will continue to expose that which has been hidden. (Matt. 10:26)

One surefire way to let people know what the media is all about would be to employ the prophesized number to save the gay media or quell the flu hysteria; i.e. Flu Buster (see attached image). Would you believe their falsehoods if they had that number on their foreheads?
