Electronics, and other issues

This is an open letter to Ron paul, but it is also to everybody.

The point I would like to illuminate is not really complicated, but it is heavy, very much so.

I got a buddy, let's call him MrS. MrS was the leader of Radio Solidarity in Poland. He designed and built the transmitter, and another guy was around with batteries, and yet another with sections of metal vacuum cleaner wand. Each of them got caught seperately except MrS, he was the fastest runner and he had built, and was carrying the transmitter himself.

Up a hillside, they knew the audio frequency of all the local channels, and they broke in on the most popular one of course. This is illegal in almost any country, but with all the money Waleska could get and everything, they simply refused to sell the airtime.

Eventually MrS was held on suspicion, because of his affiliations, his education, and his lack of alibis. But he really did do it. He wound up doing about seven months over it.

What would you do if the TV sound got blotted out on the TV news and got replaced with someone saying "THEY ARE LYING TO YOU". Would you believe it ?

Now to the electronics part. When they stop regular TV broadcasts, noone will be ble to do this. Ii believe that this is part of their motive for doing it, other than making us buy a bunch of more junk.

What about those who are just happy with what they got ? Like a 20" or something. Some people do not want much more, why should they have to pay for a settop box to decode all this ?

I think there is an ulterior motive here, and I know about the bandwidth issue, yet it seems to me that something is going on. And it all stinks.

Go ahead and think I am a conspiracy theorist, but before you do that, do yourself a favor and think about the results first.

It's not that you're paranoid, it's rather that you don't understand what's actually going on.

"They" -- people with money, and people desiring power -- took over millenia ago, because, since the development of agriculture, all societies have revolved around economics -- the creation and exchange of wealth.

Contrary to what you see in comic books and movies, there is no practical way to blanket a city with a sufficiently strong signal to override the sound carrier of a TV station.

And even if you did, who would listen to your warning?

To change the world, people have to change their values. And that isn't about to happen very soon.

I think that they probably did not decide to do all this stuff for the reason that you propose (although that might be a "happy" side effect). I think that if there are sinister motives behind DAB and DVB-T then (ignoring bandwidth & quality issues and public entitlement to use of spectrum or governmental right to sell most of it) any mischief (if it exists) is more likely directed at stopping smaller independent commercial stations from getting access to a transmitter. Both DAB and DVB-T are multiplex things where AFAIK the different radio & TV stations don't have their own transmitter but have to negotiate space in a multiplex, and when negotiating is required, small players can be at a disadvantage. Digital Radio Mondiale has the advantage that each station could have their own transmitter site so that it might be harder to set up artificial barriers to entry.

Anyway, regarding your theory, at present the most easy way to make a protest heard is probably on the internet, and protecting what is left of that freedom against attempts at arbitrary censorship through both legislation and technical meddling would in my opinion be a more valuable use of your effort.
