ON SATURDAY NIGHT the ionosphere went almost into shutdown mode,
with all signals weak and short-skip signals almost nonexistent
except for a fluttery backscatter — but that didn’t stop a flood of
new stations from checking into America’s longest-running amateur
radio discussion net, the Liberty Net. That just goes to show that
even when Mother Nature doesn’t cooperate, well-engineered home HF
radio setups can still communicate on a continental scale.
Here are some of the subjects that participants discussed this week:
• This week, a Florida judge ruled that “Obamacare,” with its
unprecedented compulsory purchase requirements, is unconstitutional
— a decision also reached recently in Virginia. (22 minutes)
• A sitting governor of North Dakota was removed from office when it
was found that he did not meet constitutional eligibility
requirements, so there is a precedent for removing Obama under
similar circumstances. (24 minutes)
• The US military is building a huge 264-acre “mock city” — which
will even include actors to play “citizens” — to train soldiers to
repress future uprisings of patriots opposed to the illegal
government in Washington, and accustom troops to firing on their
fellow Americans. (26 minutes)
• America’s public schools are becoming insane asylums where White
children are arrested for using pea shooters, but non-Whites are
granted official permission to carry “ceremonial daggers,” as
recently happened in Dearborn, Michigan. (30 minutes)
• A young child’s life may be ruined by a criminal conviction being
pushed by local New Jersey authorities — because he brought a toy
gun that shoots ping-pong balls to school. (40 minutes)
• The fall of the US dollar is now an inevitable result of the
government’s decisions in the late 20th century 1) to “take care” of
the underclass whose votes the politicians sought to buy, and 2) to
make America a non-White, non-Western nation with all the
factionalization and low productivity that that implies. (1 hour 39
minutes)
• Now that the Republicans and Fox News, as predicted months ago by
N2SAG on the Liberty Net, are putting their arms around Barack Obama
(John McCain has even hailed Obama as a “centrist”), expect another
war for Israel in the Middle East, possibly combined with another
9/11-like false flag attack on America. (2 hours 14 minutes)
• George W. Bush got a last-minute warning not to attend a speech he
was to give to a Jewish group in Switzerland, because several human
rights organizations there had obtained a warrant for his arrest
based on his role in ordering torture. (2 hours 52 minutes)
• Isn’t it remarkable that the freest, most thorough, and most open
coverage of the revolutions in the Middle East is coming from
al-Jazeera, while the very worst, most censored, and most slanted
coverage comes from “American” networks? (3 hours 2 minutes)
• Now that “laser ranging” bullets have been developed (which
explode when they reach the target’s distance), N2SAG is calling for
a law to forever forbid these bullets from being used against
American citizens. (3 hours 10 minutes)
The Liberty Net is a gathering that includes thoughtful,
philosophical minds and well-informed sources every week, and any
amateur operator can join in the discussion and debate. A big “thank
you” to N2SAG and N2IRJ and especially W1WCR for their hard work
which makes the Liberty Net and its Internet annexes possible. You
can download the Net right here at http://3950.net and listen in
your gym or on your way to work or anywhere you choose.
Looks like illegal broadcasting on the amateur bands to me.
How so? It's two-way communication between stations in a net, no
different from other nets.
With all good wishes,
Kevin, WB4AIO.
Waste of bandwidth; reminds me of Hollywood during award season...
What is a "waste of bandwidth" is a matter of opinion, not law.
On the Liberty Net, differing ideas and even philosophies are being
expressed and debated. To me, that is far more interesting (and a
far better use of bandwidth) than the mere exchange of callsigns and
signal reports, which to me is acutely tedious. But to each his own.
In any case, there's nothing illegal about it.
Happy Thursday,
I'd say you're walking a fine line; you certainly act like you're
broadcasting.
I would suggest you have your eyes tested post haste because you don't
see, or hear, very well. It isn't even close to "broadcasting", study
the rules of amateur radio before popping off. Because you disagree
with what is being said doesn't make it illegal.
-------------------------------------------------------------
To dopey liberals, any speech they don't agree with should be illegal.
You are not supposed to do "shows" for third parties. It violates the
spirit of the law, if not the letter. And it is bad for amateur radio
because it scares off the kids. They're afraid ham radio will turn them
into conspiracy freak tax dodgers.
The Liberty Net is completely legal amateur-to-amateur
communication, the same as any other discussion net. If there was
any "illegal" aspect to it, you can be sure that it would have been
adjudicated at some point in the almost 40 years the net has been
active. And anyone who is "scared" by hearing debates about ideas
needs to acquire some courage so he can overcome his fear -- and
gain knowledge and reasoning skills.
I often disagree with what I read on Usenet, but nevertheless I have
learned a great deal from others here, and have refined my thinking
by engaging in debate and presenting and defending my ideas. The
Liberty Net is no different in that respect.
Happy Friday,
Kevin, WB4AIO.
There are better forums these days. (You mentioned usenet for example).
It's best to keep the divisive stuff off the amateur airwaves. And I'm
tired of hearing everyone compliment each other on having fat signals.
That's not the point. Contesters and rag chewers and "nets" full of
bitter old guys are the reason I seldom listen to phone (my current
radio has no microphone).
Well, that's a matter of opinion. Divisive things are often very
interesting things. Things that "everyone agrees on" are often
sleep-inducing.
Happy weekend,
Kevin Zeese, attorney and spokesperson for ProtectOurElections.org,
believes that Justice Thomas may have intentionally withheld the
information in order to keep litigants from moving to disqualify him in
cases where his wife's employment could cause a conflict of interest or
where she could benefit from a decision. "Justice Thomas cast a critical
vote in the Citizens United case allowing conservative groups like the
Heritage Foundation and Liberty Central to raise millions of dollars in
secret funds to support and elect conservative politicians," he said.
"Had Justice Thomas disclosed that his wife worked for the Heritage
Foundation, litigants may have had good cause to disqualify him from
hearing that case. In fact, we are left to wonder if Justice Thomas knew
that his wife was planning on leaving the Heritage Foundation to launch
Liberty Central once Citizens United was decided. Clearly, she has
benefitted personally from that decision."
It was better before Riley messed up the bands.
I want WA9KJI and W9ART and N4SX in downtown Washington, DC to check
in like the good old days.
And Tarzan and Doofus Jammer.
Sir Sidney had a good story about how he shot the private parts off of
a dawg in New Mexico.
That story was a favorite of The Great Liberty Net.
Sir Sidney is dead - long live Sir Sidney.
Jamfest 2011 is on.
Gentlemen start your amps.
The Late Arky Bob said that.

Are you drunk?
Must be because of Valentine Day . It's the Day After .
You don't know how wrong you are, Bruce.
The person in question -- Sidney Mahan, a vicious drunk -- was one
of the jammers who hated the Liberty Net so much he tried to drive
it off the airwaves with obscenities, music, and other types of
illegal, malicious interference. Far from being a "favorite" of the
net, Mahan and his disgusting "stories" were part of a deliberate
interference campaign against the net, some of which is archived in
audio form. Simply Google "K5BLB" if you really want to hear it.
The Liberty Net's Net Control Station, W1WCR, Victor Misek, in total
contrast to Mahan, is a gentleman and a published author who wrote
the well-regarded _Beverage Antenna Handbook_. See
With all good wishes,
Kevin, WB4AIO.
Actually RHF makes perfect sense this time.
The freedom to associate, to exist at all, must also include the
freedom _not_ to associate.
So, if one doesn't like a particular amateur operator, for example,
simply don't talk to him or listen to him. (Of course, jammers make
this very sensible dictum difficult to practice, since they insist
on transmitting purposeful interference on top of other stations --
but that is a separate issue. So is the sad fact that we have
largely lost our freedom of association in this country.)
With my best,
Kevin, WB4AIO.
I was commenting purely on the specific topic of violence against
animals, Kevin, and the report that it was a "favorite". If that was
not the case, then I retract my comment.
Bruce
It depends. Some subjects/discussions are more appropriate at a dinner
table . And NOT on the airwaves .
Possibly. But once that distinction is made, the seeds of
censorship may be sown.
And that's a FACT .
But his response did match my comment. I never suggested that
anythnig you say here is untrue...except for the freedom of
association thing - ?
Lord, now you guys are suggesting that my comment leads down a crooked
road toward censorship? geez...
Okay -- mainly, I just wanted to make the Sidney Mahan thing clear!

-ps- We Do Not Know :
The Rest of the Story...
.
.
Yes, understood.
Cruelty towards animals is a sign of very bad character; indeed I
believe you can tell a great deal about a person by the way he or
she treats animals -- or any being, human or animal, who is totally
in his or her power.
The original poster, "Arky Bob," is a Usenet reincarnation of one of
the jammers, who likes to revel in the remembered chaos of those
times -- whether out of real enjoyment or a sense of irony, I don't
know.
With all good wishes,
Kevin.
Because Peter brought up the "slippery slope to censorship" thing as
the fourth or fifth step in the logical progression following my
comment, which was merely a snarkily crack on the character of people
for whom abuse of animals was a favorite topic of discussion. There's
a pretty wide gap there IMHO.
I took him at his word. Kevin explained more thoroughly anyway, and I
retracted.
There's plenty more serious rushing to judgment going on anyway in
this country, than making a snarky comment about those who appear to
enjoy cruelty to animals. I'm not going to worry about it too much.

Let's not forget those poor humans who suffer BECAUSE of animals.
Origin of this tale of abuse is unknown to me. Very sad....
======================================
Last night I was sitting on the sofa watching TV when I heard
my wife's voice from the kitchen. "What would you like for dinner my
Love?... Chicken, beef or fish?"
I said, "Thank you, I'll have chicken."
She replied "You're having soup, asshole. I was talking to the
dog"

Careful there Kevin - Sir Sidney was NOT a drunk. Vicious or
otherwise. And his story about shooting "the dawg" was a keeper for
sure.
The drunk on 3950 was The Late Uncle Walter. He stayed drunk and
delusional ALL THE TIME.
But Sir Sidney - nahhh .. he just had the best signal .. rightfully
called "The Loudest Station In The Nation". That is .. until Riley
trashed the band.
WiWCR a gentleman? Then why won't he accept W9ART as a check-in to
The Great Liberty Net ? ? ? Some "gentleman".
Sir Sidney is dead ... long live Sir Sidney.
