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.
Hey

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.

OK guys, do that. And while the cops smash your skulls and infringe on your constitutional rights there will be no one to know cause of "blocked transmissions" of the video of it happening. You people need to think a little bit better than that.
Post when you do this!

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....
Why warn them??

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE, DO IT AND STERILIZE YOURSELVES!
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!
What happens when a truck op kicks the shit out of you?

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.

Please, sir, go ahead. It will be fun to watch you stand in front of a microwave signal that is strong enough to be received thousands of miles away.
Rid us of your stupidity.

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.
