Sorry to be a pain in the ass and make people think, but I am quite technically inclined. It is my job and a big part of my life. I know things.
I know technical things, things I have to know for work. I was going to say that how I interpret some things is my business, but in this thread I guess I am making it your business. If you choose.
Years ago I worked with a Man named Jaros Sykla a Polack immigrant. Originally on the H1B visa because of his technical skills, he eventually became a citizen.
Now understand that I am actually even more technically competent than he, but not by a whole hell of alot. But this brings us to the point, the actual reason he came here. The government in Poland was giving him a hard time starting a business. Why ?
Radio Solidarity. This guy is younger, and I would've liked to meet him during the Radio Solidarity days. In some ways he is an asshole, but he has a certain measure of respect for what he did, which is the reason the government of Poland wrapped him up in red tape. His brother, part of the gang also knew alot and I heard he is actually here now as well.
This is strange, I think this guy is an asshole but I have respect for him. I mean he is a Brittany Spears fan. I mean PHAN, the root of the word. He said she is his hero, but with his English I hope he simply chose the wrong word.
In Poland, he built a tramsmitter. He was for solidarity and this was illegal of course, but he did it anyway. He and his cohorts went to the top of a hill and 'spread the words of freedom' so to speak. He was the fastest runner and the builder of the transmitter so he carried that. Another had the batteries, and another the parts of the antenna.
They went up on the hill near town and overrode the audio signal on TV, and did it to the most popular shows, and played a tape with their political message, which was for the solidarity movement. The government did not like this.
Lek Waleska did though, and found Jaros. I'm sure he was glad to meet the leader in person. When they got in the mood, or figured it was a good time to do it, they would head to the hills and transmit. Waleska had a tape for him, but it was too long, Jaros had to turn him down flat. Flat out, if we get caught it is all over, make it shorter. We only get so much time and that is it.
They were triangulating on these merry Men and pretty much had it figured out. So the heat got hot, they had perhaps a minute to get their message out. But Waleska's tape was longer than that.
As it stands, the guy with the batteries got caught, but in Poland it is not illegal to have batteries. They guy with the antenna parts got caught, which were the old stryle vacuum cleaner sections. That is also not illegal in Poland. But they never caught Jaros with the transmitter and he tells me if they had he would have done some serious time in prison.
He did wind up doing about seven months under suspicion, but they had to let him go. Contrary to popular belief in the US, other countries do have courts and must prove their allegations before incarcerating someone. However, like here one can become a target.
He accomplished that in spades. Later he wanted to start a security business, and they fucked him around so much he came here. He told me his first job was window washer. But with his technical training he eventually got out of that. That is how I met him.
As the story of Radio Solidarity unfolded, I realized something.
With cable it is impossible. But then it is possible if you get enough power. If you have enough power at 44Mhz which is the standard IF of a regular TV, you can even override cable, but it takes ALOT of power. I don't know about you but I got 240 volts at 120 amps. That is enough. That is near 30,000 watts, and I would say with that kind of power I can override the sound carrier in perhaps 60% of the TV sets in a radius of perhaps a half mile.
However, with digital, the whole game board is changed. With digital TV you might be able to scramble, block, or otherwise screw up their signal. But you can't get your signal out. The recievers are setup for certain digital CODECs and whatever other protocals. There is no way to break in.
Digital TV achieves perfect control of the flow of information. They say what goes on and what doesn't, and that is that.
That my friends is the real, ugly, disgusting and nasty reason for this change to digital TV.
And they have mandated it. They are very concerned, like a Parent using the V chip. You must not hear any information that they and their cronies have deemed unacceptable. You must hear only what they want you to hear.
And that is that.
Start your shit, that is fine. Call me full of shit if you have the ammo with which to do so. I am fine with that. But the facts which I have stated are indeed facts. Start there.
And if anyone wants to say I am full of shit, go right ahead, but then splain to me why DVDs and DVD players have 'regions'. Don't tell me about the different TV systems all around the world, I already know that. The data on a DVD has nothing to do with that, it is the player's job to put out a signal you can use whether it be NTSC, PAL, SECAM or who knows.
It is only logical that if you buy a DVD player in England it should put out a signal your TV can use. I believe it is called SCART and has a few more things going for it than what we have here, features having to do with menu functions and the on screen display. But that I believe is region two. So I can't send a DVD to someone in England and expect them to be able to play it. It is not a format problem.
With a VCR tape it is a format problem, I know all about it. But a DVD has no TV format, it is computer format. The circuit board in the DVD player makes the proper signal for the TV.
But see now they have regions. This is a hardcoded in the start track of the DVD, that tells the DVD player whether it is allowed to play the DVD disk or not. It has nothing to do with format or language or anything.
Deeper. Media is one of the very few things we export. Our movies are loved around the world and people do buy them in Europe etc. You gotta admit they come out with some really freaky shit. Perhaps that defines our nation now, fantasy. But there is big money involved.
And at this point I wonder if certain movies are edited differently for foreign audiences, for political reasons. This is the kind of control they exercise.
Now people are getting satellite and HD radios, soon they will have total control of the flow of information.
Ever hear of Inslaw ?
There is so much more to this I do not have the time. Nobody does.
But in closing I say this, if you were getting rich exploiting a stupid population, wouldn't you want them to remain stupid ?
Think about it. Think about it when you pop in that next DVD. Or when you turn on the TV.
And go ahead and reearch this. You will find every word I said is true. I know, and I know alot more. I know about the wideband spectogrphic cameras on the satellites that can see each and every hair on your head, and can find one pot plant in a fifty acre cornfield. And I know how it is done.
I have about 42 years of learning to back up what I say. This is not a free country, and I have looked around, there are no free countries anymore,. Iceland might come close. Actually if you choose to define Antarctica as a country it would even come closer.
But we are all serfs, and really it would be better to be a slave.
