Would it not be better for Islamic Liberation Fronts to destroy the
BBG-VOA-RFE-RFA shortwave transmission facilities in
* Morocco
* Sao Tome
* Kuwait
* Sri Lanka
* etc ...
?????????????????????????????????
====================
As a geopolitical strategy, it would be considered disadvantageous to allow
the US to broadcast pro-US propaganda as it could be said to be generally
disadvantageous to the needs of these liberation fronts. Destroying as many
BBG-VOA relay sites is just merely a reasonable tactic for self protection.
Islamic libeation fronts have no transmission facilities to speak of, so one
could argue this tatics change would merely be creating a level playing
field.
====================
Note:
Most of VOA's shortwave transmitters are made by companies that have shut
down or left the shortwave transmitter business: MARCONI and ALLIED-HARRIS.
Most of the BBG external broadcasting money is flowing into Television, not
Radio specifically Shortwave and Mediumwave.
BBG-VOA probably needs to move over to ALLISS transmission technology to
allow it to have instant international crisis reaction times in the 15
minute range -- like RADIO FRANCE INTERNATIONAL.
BBG-VOA is so raft with nepotism, favoritism, kickbacks etc ... that
replacing its transmitter infrastructure may take 5 years -- however all the
BBG-VOA transmission facilities outside the US could be destroyed in 5
weeks.
I am assuming that only the transmitters would be destroyed -- destroying
the antennas takes more time.
RIZ, CROATIA -- could only provide one portable 300 kw SW transmitter per 2
months at best -- as Continental and Thales-Grass Valley don't do portable
SW transmitters.
It could be assumed that an operation to destroy a transmission facility
would be around 100,000 EUR per facility (averaged).
I could assume 50,000 EUR for Sao Tome, but 300,000 EUR for Thailand -- and
around 150,000 EUR for Sri Lanka.
BBG-VOA would not be that heavily impacted as there is a glut of SW
transmission capacity in Eurasia that is up for lease at a moments notice
(for Eurasian targets, Oceania aka Australasia still has -350%
undercapsity). There would no impact in the Americas if BBG-VOA lost all of
its 'Old World' transmission facilities.

Radio Listeners (SWLs) are also a very little

the vast majority of the people in the world.

Totally fake. Just the Ingsocs justifying more crackdowns by
suggesting you can make a scary bomb with ordinary gasoline and
propane. It'll make a fireball, but won't throw nails very well.
This crap has nothing to do with any competent terrorists.
''The term "detonation" is used to describe an explosive phenomenon
whereby the decomposition is propagated by the explosive shockwave
traversing the explosive material. The shockwave front is capable of
passing through the high explosive material at great speeds, typically
thousands of meters per second.
Explosives usually have less potential energy than, say, petroleum
fuels, but their high rate of energy release produces the great blast
pressure. TNT has a detonation velocity of 6,940 m/s compared to 1,680
m/s for the detonation of a pentane-air mixture, and the 0.34-m/s
stoichiometric flame speed of gasoline combustion in air.''

I thought their timing was a bit off. I have feeling they actually
wanted the 'bombs' to go off ten seconds into the new Prime Minister's
reign.
Must maintain the threat so a complete change of government direction
isn't asked for or demanded by the population.
It's a complete farce and seen through by the majority of the English
people.

In this country the terrorists tend to be extreme right wingers like
Timothy McVeigh and Eric Rudolph. Are you suggesting we spy on the
right wingers?
DaviD -fyi-
The Biggest and most Organized Terrorist Groups
in the USA is 'The Earth Liberation Front" (ELF)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earth_Liberation_Front
and the "Earth First !" {People Be Damned}
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earth_First%21
Many of the ELF EF! members have ties to
the Revolutionary Communist Party USA
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Revolutionary_Communist_Party,_USA
* Clearly no one would call any of these
Groups 'right-wing'.
The ELF EF! are into Eco-Terrorism
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eco-terrorism
The ELF and EF! are true to there name
Liberation : liberal, Liberal. LIBERAL !
and is definately not 'right-wing'.
OBTW - You can tell when you are at one of
their meetings because you will see Al Gore's
picture hanging up-side-down cause they feel
he is a traitor to 'the cause' and not radical
enough for them.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Al_gore
* Clearly no one would call Al Gore 'right-wing'.
One of the most noted All-American-Terrorist
was Ted Kaczynski the so called UnaBomber
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unabomber
Who might be consider to be an Environment
Anarchism {or just a plain Wacko}
* Clearly no one would call Ted Kaczynski 'right-wing'.
Yes the Grand Cause of Environmentalism has
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Environmentalism
produced a number of Groups and Individuals
who at best can be called : Ultra-Liberals and

You sound like a raving paranoid yourself. What are my chances of
getting injured by a ''terrorist'' vs getting caught up in some fear
driven hot-air dragnet? Bin Laden won when we signed the Patriot Act.
Canadian thinking? That's GREAT! I didn't know my hero, H.L. Mencken was
Canadian...The guy is a genius.
====================================
The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and
hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless
series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary.
H. L. Mencken
====================================
Nowhere near as suspicious as you with your thousands of rounds of
ammunition, automatic weapons and long history of drunken, anti social
behavior. You fit the exact profile of the lunatics who climb towers on
campuses. A loner misfit with severe emotional issues.
Get help before the FBI drag you away...perhaps in a body bag.

Mencken probably loved the USA also.
Think about that next time you bash people who don't think like your
your cookie cutter ideology dictates. The US would be a far better
country if the voters actually felt like Mencken.
================================================
The notion that a radical is one who hates his country is naïve and
usually idiotic. He is, more likely, one who likes his country more than
the rest of us, and is thus more disturbed than the rest of us when he
sees it debauched. He is not a bad citizen turning to crime; he is a
good citizen driven to despair.

Oh, the irony....
You really should consider trying sobriety. It may even improve your
grammar and correct the apostrophe abuse. Do you even KNOW what
'possessive noun' means? You certainly don't know where to use one
correctly.
=========================================
Main Entry: so·bri·ety
Pronunciation: s&-'brI-&-tE, sO-
Function: noun
Etymology: Middle English sobrete, from Anglo-French sobreté, from Latin
sobrietat-, sobrietas, from sobrius
: the quality or state of being sober

I don't hate Americans. I do have a thing against murdering occupants of
other countries for monetary gain, however, so your government has a lot
of accounting to do. I think they are all immoral bastards who have
kidnapped the Democratic process for financial reward.
Remember, YOU tell the government what to do, not the other way around.

can't let them forget it.

Ok. That's fair..and let's let the Afghanis and Iraqis deal with their

You seem to think that it would be a better world if we all minded our
