The rebuilding of the site is coming along just fine and I like both the look and feel even better than before.

Thanks again for all that you do for “We the members”. : )

Carl, I’m sorry I fired back at you in responding to your email. I had been up all night dealing with the problem and not in the best of moods.

—W—

“StriketheRoot.com” is one of my favorite watering holes. I didn’t realize it too had been struck by this SPAM attack, if circumstances are the same in their case as CHB’s.

When I first realized that CHB had gone down, the first thing that went through my my mind; that’s in a perpetual “permafrost” mode concerning conspiracy theories etc. was for me to think, what if, just what if, the government decided to launch an attack against every influential site that was against the evolving order of the day; ie., an emergent “tyrannical government gone wild”.

Every so often while watching the boob tube, the screen will go DOS field black and a msg in white text against this ominous black will announce this is a test of the “Emergency Broadcast System”. The view is both bleak and black along with the annoying “tone” with a monotonal bureaucrat reading the EBS message.

Then I think how will the average John Q. and Mary citizen feel when their TV goes black with the only messages coming forth are from “Big Brother” along with the www, the same at least within U.S. confines, along with the radio on all broadcast frequencies. Their entire communicative world has been curtailed in one fell swoop by a criminally disposed, rogue government run amok. They’ve seized control of all communications and now “We the People” are dead in the water.

So there we all sit with buckets on our heads as to what’s happening and waiting for the next manipulative release from our now “gone bad” government. Pretty scary huh?!

I suggest folks invest in a SW radio along with AM/FM NOAA and the ability monitor the 144mhz HAM band to hopefully find out what’s going on in their “tank”, once the land of the free and the home of the brave goes into a perceived “emergency mode”. Even an investment in GRS/FRS two radios would be good too not only for personal use, but for simply monitoring what’s possibly happening locally.

I’m retired USN and I no longer trust our government. It’s surely not the military or government I interfaced with in the mid-60′s through my retirement in ’95′. Yes, there were conflicts and turbulence, but the guy running the show at the highest levels nowadays are all on both the make and the take including high level military officers who are just bucking for a good berth in the MIC post retirement. No wave making there.

An asleep at the helm citizenry along with the toleration of an ever less responsive government to our needs has birthed this out of control monster.

In these times, “trust no one” other than yourself and those close to you that share similar goals and ideals.
