New York Times shills for radio grant money and ignores culprit

When government buys radios it's usually Motorola. Why would anyone reward yet another player in 9/11 (no matter who staged it) with more business when they were a center piece of failure ?

The suit also quotes from an internal Motorola document that asked such questions as, "Did we sell them the wrong platform?" and "Did we ignore these [issues] to keep a $10-plus-million order?"

Today's New York Times editorial cluelessly shills for the company now intertwined with often failure Yaesu and Vertex Standard, that just recently seems to have gotten its act together with the FT-5000 and FT-950 after an interregnum of farce.

When the Times dare says that the NYC radios were "antiquated", the reason was because the new ones were incapable ! The fault is with Motorola's sales pitch if not their engineers.

An investigation in April 2001 by then-New York City Comptroller Alan Hevesi, who was campaigning for mayor, found the city broke contracting rules when it bought $13.9 million of the new digital radios without a competitive bidding process.

Hevesi's probe also found that the fire department had failed to field-test the digital radios, and that battalion commanders had complained of problems.

The new digital radios were recalled in March 2001 by the fire department and the old analog models put back in service after a firefighter narrowly escaped a burning basement when his radio calls for help weren't picked up by his team.

And what does the Times do for the nation ? What do they propose after 9 years of readying ham radio stations around the country by the thousands in government buildings ?

They want Congress to set aside spectrum, which will trigger a whole new trillion dollar round of bail outs to buy the same equipment from the same vendors and put it in the same sites... with a grant of course.

To put back ups where there are already towers and antennas is moronic. When the main fails, the back up will fail. Before they take the grant money, will the electronics makers be sharing that ? Their wares are now mostly made in China and Singapore... what a coincidence.

As the 10th anniversary of the terrorist attacks in New York, Washington and Pennsylvania draws near, one of the main recommendations of the 9/11 Commission remains unfulfilled: the creation of a common communications system that lets emergency responders talk to one another across jurisdictions.

The problem was laid bare in the tragic cacophony at the World Trade Center, where scores of firefighters perished as police and fire officials couldn’t communicate on antiquated radio systems before the second tower fell.

Four years later during Hurricane Katrina, emergency workers from across the nation faced the same dangerous problem. They had to resort to running handwritten notes to warn of shifting conditions.

This was written by more clueless liberal arts majors with no experience. Ever since seeing that a Trinity graduate was dispensing financial advice in Forbes with a BA in English, I learned a lot about staged economic collapse and how to implement it. I'm saying he writes what he's told by editors who are Globalist puppets.

As for the editorial, they obviously don't know about amateur radio or all that official effort and federal and state grant money that went into 9 years of buying ham radios, antennas and TNCs for Police, Fire and Emergency Operation Centers.

They now want to duplicate the effort by building a back up that is going to end up in the same places and provide no actual back up at all, and just more confused users.

O puer, qui omnia nomini debes

This blog is written in the unvarnished truth by an Ottaviano. That's Octavianus, Octavian, Octavius, Octavia, Octavii... some intel nit wit keeps editing the commonly used Wikipedia as Google and Youtube delinks Ottaviano and Octavianus, etc, out of their abject fear of real history. Now they've shoved Cardinal Ottaviani who worked with the OSS and Martin S. Quigley to the back of the searches too. Their goal is to throw off any casual looker seeking to confirm this. It's not the politically correct nonsense of a Globalist publishing house with a post-WWII agenda of anti-Roman, anti-Italian, and anti-Goyim lies.

I graduated Phi Beta Kappa with Honors in History from Trinity College and needed only a second thesis or exam to get the B.A. in Political Science or International Relations. I was oddly told that they were "redundant" even though many now get both. I then refused to become a sock puppet like others are, and was maimed on purpose to a near heart transplant, nerve damage, and internal bleeding by a bunch of Globalist government paranoids acting through Merck. Their Germanic and Jewish ancestors rioted against my family in Rome with this purpose, assassinated lawful Emperors and defiled the Mausoleum of Augustus in Rome. Stop believing what you were conditioned to think out of post WWII guilt. Nero didn't burn Rome; the fiddle they now say he played wasn't invented until the 16th century, and Nero was assassinated by their ancestors ending our rule. An unlawful coup took hold in 476 and continues unchallenged.

After all of that, on 31 May 2008, my 62 year old father dropped dead in front of me as two fighters hundreds of miles from their base flew over. Connecticut politicians Richard Blumenthal, Joe Courtney and my father's student Susan Bysiewicz held up both the ambulance and AED which should have been 1000 feet away for their own paranoid protection. That left my mother with $62 a month and no pension. You bet it was retaliation by the people who maimed me that I now attack, but hadn't uttered a word about until after that.

I'm also a ham radio operator, but most of the new hams are incompetent un-opinionated fake emergency responder mush mouths since they dropped the IQ test.

Benjamin Disraeli

"There is in Italy a power which we seldom mention in this House ... I mean the secret societies.... It is useless to deny, because it is impossible to conceal, that a great part of Europe--the whole of Italy and France and a great portion of Germany, to say nothing of other countries--is covered with a network of these secret societies, just as the superficies of the earth is now being covered with railroads. And what are their objects? They do not attempt to conceal them. They do not want constitutional government; they do not want ameliorated institutions ... they want to change the tenure of land, to drive out the present owners of the soil and to put an end to ecclesiastical establishments. Some of them may go further...."

Nicolo Machiavelli

"Upon this a question arises: whether it be better to be loved than feared or feared than loved? It may be answered that one should wish to be both, but, because it is difficult to unite them in one person, is much safer to be feared than loved, when, of the two, either must be dispensed with. Because this is to be asserted in general of men, that they are ungrateful, fickle, false, cowardly, covetous, and as long as you succeed they are yours entirely; they will offer you their blood, property, life and children, as is said above, when the need is far distant; but when it approaches they turn against you."

John Locke

"but where no such appeal is, as in the state of nature, for want of positive laws, and judges with authority to appeal to, the state of war once begun, continues, with a right to the innocent party to destroy the other whenever he can, until the aggressor offers peace, and desires reconciliation on such terms as may repair any wrongs he has already done, and secure the innocent for the future; nay, where an appeal to the law, and constituted judges, lies open, but the remedy is denied by a manifest perverting of justice, and a barefaced wresting of the laws to protect or indemnify the violence or injuries of some men, or party of men, there it is hard to imagine any thing but a state of war: for wherever violence is used, and injury done, though by hands appointed to administer justice, it is still violence and injury, however coloured with the name, pretences, or forms of law, the end whereof being to protect and redress the innocent, by an unbiassed application of it, to all who are under it; wherever that is not bona fide done, war is made upon the sufferers, who having no appeal on earth to right them, they are left to the only remedy in such cases, an appeal to heaven."

The "innovative" electric car

MR. MAXIM," asked New Haven Carriage-Maker William Hooker Atwood in 1896, "do you want this carriage to look like a Western buggy-maker's job or do you want it to be a gentleman's carriage?" Answered Hiram Percy Maxim, builder of the Mark I Electric Phaeton: "Like a gentleman's carriage, Mr. Atwood." For almost half a century, the U.S. automobile was indeed a "gentleman's carriage," built for men and bought on the basis of its mechanical excellence, not its sculptured lines or pleasing colors.
