Why big brother took analog away…
I have been searching high and low to find more about this. Don’t you miss the fact that if you have a shitty little black and white TV that you could still watch a 49ers or Giants game in your backyard with a perfect picture if your antenna was decent? Of if you have ever tailgated at a football game, you could plug your $20. Radio Shack power inverter into your cigarette lighter, and plug your TV in and watch the pregame because the signal was beaming strong off of K.O.I.T. tower. Gone are those days because of the big hyped switch to digital. If you remember the marketing for this, it was centrally centered on, “oh you will get a clearer, better picture.” Nothing could be further from the truth. Digital is a formatted signal, computerized if you will. The same thing as the fancy CG graphics you see in movies today like Avatar which you should really go see in 3D if you have not already. Analog on the other hand was a “real time” signal. As pure as you can get, the quality may not be great, but the clocking speed and interlace timing was not manipulated. Well I came across this and found it to be quite interesting, and it is YET, another glimpse into the goings on behind people’s backs. My old posts may seem like drunken rants, but there was much truth behind them, even though they may have lacked sensibility. There is a movement known as the New World Order coming to rise as a silent beast which “may” ultimately rule with an iron fist one day. “Their” agenda to convert our country to a Police state and to eventually rule the entire world under one fist, one law. No I am not talking wrestling. The evidence and information is out there for anyone to access. If you are curious, use this crazy thing known as the “people’s network” a.k.a. the internet. Take full advantage before the government tries to take that from us to, already happening in China. You can Google some basic shit, and be prepared to be disturbed or put in a state of disbelief.
Examples:
REX 84 protocol
Project for a new American century (PNAC)
NSDP20
HSDP20
HAARP (High frequency auroral research project) “control weather, cause earthquakes”, just so happens to be owned and operated by our Department of Defense. Not the only one in existence, but the most well known.
Peep this article though,
Ex-IBM Employee Reveals TV Abandoned Analog Band to Make Room for RFID
Clearing out the high power analog tv emissions will improve signal to noise ratio for RFID emitting in the 700MHz band, and potentially allow passive satellite tracking of these RFID signals.
I’m thinking about getting a stainless steel wallet to protect against having any “enhanced” RFID cards tracked or skimmed remotely.
————
(AFP/dprogram.net) According to a former 31-year IBM employee, the highly-publicized, mandatory switch from analog to digital television is mainly being done to free up analog frequencies and make room for scanners used to read implantable RFID microchips and track people and products throughout the world.
So while the American people, especially those in Texas and other busy border states, have been inundated lately with news reports advising them to hurry and get their expensive passports, “enhanced driver’s licenses,” passport cards and other “chipped” or otherwise trackable identification devices that they are being forced to own, this digital television/RFID connection has been hidden, according to Patrick Redmond.
Redmond, a Canadian, held a variety of jobs at IBM before retiring, including working in the company’s Toronto lab from 1992 to 2007, then in sales support. He has given talks, written a book and produced a DVD on the aggressive, growing use of passive, semi-passive and active RFID chips (Radio Frequency Identification Devices) implanted in new clothing, in items such as Gillette Fusion blades, and in countless other products that become one’s personal belongings. These RFID chips, many of which are as small, or smaller, than the tip of a sharp pencil, also are embedded in all new U.S. passports, some medical cards, a growing number of credit and debit cards and so on. More than two billion of them were sold in 2007.
Whether active, semi-passive or passive, these “transponder chips,” as they’re sometimes called, can be accessed or activated with “readers” that can pick up the unique signal given off by each chip and glean information from it on the identity and whereabouts of the product or person, depending on design and circumstances, as Redmond explained in a little-publicized lecture in Canada last year. AFP just obtained a DVD of his talk.
Noted “Spychips” expert, author and radio host Katherine Albrecht told AMERICAN FREE PRESS that while she’s not totally sure whether there is a rock-solid RFID-DTV link, “The purpose of the switch [to digital] was to free up bandwidth. It’s a pretty wide band, so freeing that up creates a huge swath of frequencies.”
As is generally known, the active chips have an internal power source and antenna; these particular chips emit a constant signal. “This allows the tag to send signals back to the reader, so if I have a RFID chip on me and it has a battery, I can just send a signal to a reader wherever it is,” Redmond stated in the recent lecture, given to the Catholic patriot group known as the Pilgrims of Saint Michael, which also is known for advocating social credit, a dramatic monetary reform plan to end the practice of national governments bringing money into existence by borrowing it, with interest, from private central banks. The group’s publication The Michael Journal advocates having national governments create their own money interest-free. It also covers the RFID issue.
“The increased use of RFID chips is going to require the increased use of the UBF [UHF] spectrum,” Redmond said, hitting on his essential point that TV is going digital for a much different reason than the average person assumes, “They are going to stop using the [UHF] and VHF frequencies in 2009. Everything is going to go digital (in the U.S.). Canada is going to do the same thing.”
Explaining the unsettling crux of the matter, he continued: “The reason they are doing this is that the [UHF-VHF] analog frequencies are being used for the chips. They do not want to overload the chips with television signals, so the chips’ signals are going to be taking those [analog] frequencies. They plan to sell the frequencies to private companies and other groups who will use them to monitor the chips.”
Albrecht responded to that quote only by saying that it sounds plausible, since she knows some chips will indeed operate in the UHF-VHF ranges.
“Well over a million pets have been chipped,” Redmond said, adding that all 31,000 police officers in London have in some manner been chipped as well, much to the consternation of some who want that morning donut without being tracked. London also can link a RFID chip in a public transportation pass with the customer’s name. “Where is John Smith? Oh, he is on subway car 32,” Redmond said.
He added that chips for following automobile drivers – while the concept is being fought by several states in the U.S. which do not want nationalized, trackable driver’s licenses (Real ID ) – is apparently a slam dunk in Canada, where license plates have quietly been chipped. Such identification tags can contain work history, education, religion, ethnicity, reproductive history and much more.
Farm animals are increasingly being chipped; furthermore, “Some 800 hospitals in the U.S. are now chipping their patients; you can turn it down, but it’s available,” he said, adding: “Four hospitals in Puerto Rico have put them in the arms of Alzheimer’s patients, and it only costs about $200 per person.”
VeriChip, a major chip maker (the devices sometimes also are called Spychips) describes its product on its website: “About twice the length of a grain of rice, the device is typically implanted above the triceps area of an individual’s right arm. Once scanned at the proper frequency, the VeriChip responds with a unique 16 digit number which could be then linked with information about the user held on a database for identity verification, medical records access and other uses. The insertion procedure is performed under local anesthetic in a physician’s office and once inserted, is invisible to the naked eye. As an implanted device used for identification by a third party, it has generated controversy and debate.”
The circles will keep widening, Redmond predicts. Chipping children “to be able to protect them,” Redmond said, “is being promoted in the media.” After that, he believes it will come to: chip the military, chip welfare cheats, chip criminals, chip workers who are goofing off, chip pensioners – and then chip everyone else under whatever rationale is cited by government and highly-protected corporations that stand to make billions of dollars from this technology. Meanwhile, the concept is marketed by a corporate media that, far from being a watchdog of the surveillance state, is part of it, much like the media give free publicity to human vaccination programs without critical analysis on possible dangers and side effects of the vaccines.
“That’s the first time I have heard of it,” a Federal Communications Commission official claimed, when AFP asked him about the RFID-DTV issue on June 2. Preferring anonymity, he added: “I am not at all aware of that being a cause (of going to DTV).”
“Nigel Gilbert of the Royal Academy of Engineering said that by 2011 you should be able to go on Google and find out where someone is at anytime from chips on clothing, in cars, in cellphones and inside many people themselves,” Redmond also said.
So none of this is concrete, but damn it there is enough evidence and intelligent people that are clearly alarmed about it. Our freedoms are being taken away one by one, even better if you do not know about it. Are you cool with someone being able to track your every movement all the time? If you ever want to drive somewhere to be alone, your not, this is disturbing and I think many would agree. Do a rain dance now so we can go ride.
Peace,

- Seems small and harmless, permanent tracking on your every move, pass.


Squirrel, my friend, I nailed a job today… CNC machinist, been out of machining for over a year, I also got my first kid coming on the way! about 6 more months to go until a new bmxer is born… anyways, I thought you would think it is awesome were I will be working…. it goes like this: My Shop, Golf Course, BMX Track… Is this not heaven?
