WV1K: There's a grant for that, too.

Thursday, July 14, 2011

There's a grant for that, too.

Grants and donations from corporations and government come from overcharging and overtaxing the public.

On the 13th, KPH was featured in the New York Times for doing.

On the 14th, WCC was featured in the Cape Cod Times for taking. Again.

Grants are used to shuffle money around because you're stupid and the Globalist corporations know better what to do with the money they overcharge you and redistribute to places like WCC DBA the Chatham Marconi Maritime Center.

Which station is getting more coverage in the media beyond Cape Cod ? The "museum" with the corporate money and Globalist narrators or the one just operating and having fun ?

I don't see grants mentioned for KPH. There might have been, but I'm not being paid and don't care to look. All I see are people doing volunteer work and operating the station.

“It’s just beeps in the air, but it just meant everything to people,” said Richard Dillman, a self-described “radio squirrel” who serves as president of the nonprofit Maritime Radio Historical Society, which sponsors the event. “And we are the only thing standing.”

Or buzzing, as it were, as more than a dozen volunteers assembled at KPH’s receiving and transmitting stations, two dusty but rock-solid structures that are now part of the Point Reyes National Seashore, northwest of San Francisco.

Closed in 1997, the station’s receiving headquarters is like a living time capsule, stuffed with communications relics, including Teletype machines, manual typewriters and rotary phones — and, of course, all manner of telegraphy keys, ranging from the versions like those used in Samuel Morse’s time to shiny new models favored by some modern-day ham operators. A dusty calendar from 1997 still hangs on the wall, as does a copy of the famous distress call from the Titanic.

...The KPH property — an Art Deco cube built between 1929 and 1931 by the Radio Corporation of America — was acquired by the National Park Service in 1999. Shortly after that, Mr. Dillman made a remarkable discovery while visiting the station’s headquarters.

Ironically, it wasn't 24 hours later that WCC announced yet another grant instead of operating, or should I say, the Chatham Marconi Maritime Center.

The Chatham Marconi Maritime Center received a $100,000 capital donation from Ericsson Inc. Wednesday for the museum's future educational wing.

The Sweden-based global telecommunication company is the museum's newest industry partner.

Ericsson senior vice president Tim Moss joined museum president Charles Bartlett to open the Cape facility's new exhibit, provided by Ericsson, which includes artifacts from the past 30 years such as bulky car phones.

That sounds more like another advertisement for a cellular company that raided the patent files of Marconi and didn't give a damn about preserving the name.

The Ericsson donation is the second $100,000 gift to the Marconi museum from a wireless communications company in the past year. In November, Qualcomm Inc. donated $100,000 to the museum in the name of Richard Lynch, Verizon's chief technology officer.

I once heard a protest that it was "different" because the National Park Service has KPH. That's just proof that when it was 1997 in California, people acted, while on Cape Cod they were alseep at the wheel as usual. They didn't care until it was too late and they had to get government corporate money to even salvage the place and adopt a stupid educational mission in the middle of nowhere.

How does marching kids through a static display with 30 year old bag cellulars and old RTTY machines cause them to care about technology, when the station in California is at least on the air demonstrating ?

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.
