Dear members:
As we all know, the government has taken over just about every facet of our life, and the military is lock-step with that effort.
We need to start forcing a return to total civilian control of this bloated government we are now dealing with, and ensure it operates as 'we' direct it, and not at the whim of a single man (bush).
If the government can move in and wipe us off the planet, where does the will of the people fit in here?
We own everything the government has, as WE put the government into operation, we darn sure can regain control and demand things change to serve the will of the people far more and far better than it has been doing over these past 20 years.
It's high time the government adhere to the will of the people and address OUR concerns first and foremost, and stop usurping power at every turn, as it has been doing solidly since Bush was 'elected'.
From power grabbing to taking away that which it has
no right or legal authority to do so, but does regardless because we the sheeple have allowed this gluttonous form of government to take far more than it gives, which directly violates the enumerated powers we originally gave it.
Now the military is playing dictator as well?
Since when did that branch of civilian control become an arm of the executive or legislative branch?
I say shut down those two 'radar' sites and move on, history has shown that the closure of others has not affected this nation whatsoever, and the last remaining pair can't prove a 'need' remains it'ssimply grabbing for more control of our constitutionaly protected powers as a people.
It appears that outright disobedience and willful disregard may be required, then forcing the shut down of the last two operational sites as they are onviously not 'strategic' in nature or scope, and that prior shutdowns and closures proves beyond a shadow of a doubt, that they are no longer neccessary as there are very few nations with the capacity or capability to even launch long range ballisitic missiles toward our shores.
This is nothing more than sabre rattling to attract attention, and playing the doomsday scare bush so loves to perpetrate upon us as well, given his history for lies and deceipt.
With all our money at the government's disposal, you would think that their brilliant minds should be able to think their way through this so-called interference and find a sutiable solution to a simple problem, such as side lobe rejection, additional band pass filtering or whatever is required to minimize or eliminate this 'interference' althogether.
Here's a thought..MOVE THE RADAR'S OPERATING BAND UPWARDS!
Or maybe even down....to the 300 Mhz. band.
Oh wait, that's where the MILITARY operates, we cna't have them move, so shove the hams off instead...NOT!
We have every right to have access to spectrum WE own, it's ours in THIS nation, and WE must demand access to it just as much as any branch of government.
I know, most U.S hams prefer the wait and see approach, but this is getting ridiculous!
Every time the military or government agency hiccups, the hams lose a slice of spectrum, same goes for big business(remember 220?).
Last I read the declaration of independence, it was 'WE THE PEOPLE' and not I the government that ran this country!
A good house cleaning is needed, from the top on down.
Stop allowing the military to dictate policies, it's not legal or allowable, especially in light of the current situation.
Also, when was the last time the government actually worked for US?
The military doesn't need the entire radio spectrum to work with, give it only what it needs and that's all...THIS FAR, NO FURTHER...THE LINE MUST BE DRAWN HERE!
