As, indeed, all Marxists are called on to do. Marx, New-York Daily Tribune, August 8, 1853: "Indian society has no history at all, at least no known history. What we call its history, is but the history of the successive intruders who founded their empires on the passive basis of that unresisting and unchanging society. The question, therefore, is not whether the English had a right to conquer India, but whether we are to prefer India conquered by the Turk, by the Persian, by the Russian, to India conquered by the Briton.....

https://news.yahoo.com/india-spacex-starlink-warning-164709332.html India has told Starlink to stop pre-sales of satellite internet access when it doesn't have a license for the country. Jim Bell's comment: Starlink should sell non-local "mobile" service anywhere. Without bothering with "licenses". India is a country which 'turns off' Internet for 'political' reasons.

Hackaday: Analyzing Starlink Satellite Downlink Communications With Software Defined Radio

Hackaday: Analyzing Starlink Satellite Downlink Communications With Software Defined Radio. https://hackaday.com/2021/11/26/analyzing-starlink-satellite-downlink-commu… Often, mere curiosity is sufficient to do something. This is also the case with people trying to analyze the communication setup and protocol which SpaceX is using with their Ku-band based Starlink satellites. One of these fine folk is [Christian Hahn], who has recently posted some early findings to r/StarlinkEngineering over at Reddit. Some of the captured data seems to include the satellite ID system that ground-based user stations would presumably use to keep track of overhead Starlink satellites. For the capturing itself, [Christian] is using a second-hand dish for capture and a DIY SDR using KC705 FPGA-based hardware – which may have begun its life as crypto mining hardware – along with the usual assortment of filters and other common components with this kind of capture. Even at this early time, some features of the Starlink protocol seem quite obvious, such as the division into channels and the use of guard periods. Nothing too earth-shattering, but as a fun SDR hobby it definitely checks all the boxes. [Christian] has also announced that at some point he’ll set up a website and publish the findings and code that should make Starlink signal analysis easy for anyone with a readily available SDR receiver.

Ammon Bundy Runs For Governor

https://www.votebundy.com/ https://www.votebundy.com/Keep-Idaho-IDAHO-Plan.pdf https://www.votebundy.com/donate/crypto/ https://www.ammonbundy.com/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2022_Idaho_gubernatorial_election Interviews on all alternative media channels... Read through the entire Keep Idaho IDAHO Plan: As you read through the Keep Idaho IDAHO plan, I hope you will contemplate your life. How it may improve. How you may be more content, more prosperous and have more free time. How you may be able to bless other people's lives with your extra prosperity and personal time. Think about what brings you happiness and prosperity now. Your family? Your employment? Your endeavors? Maybe just simply knowing you are secure and have a future with opportunities? Any plan proposed by those in government should be scrutinized and balanced with the everyday lives of those who it would affect. This plan has been developed over a seven-year period and is designed to foster prosperity, peace, security, freedom and ultimately happiness to the People of Idaho. Built upon lasting principles, the Keep Idaho IDAHO plan will assist in bringing about a culture of liberty and property in Idaho that will rival early America. These principles include the understanding that God created man and woman and gave them certain unalienable rights. These rights include life, liberty and conscience to choose and to pursue happiness. That God created the earth and everything in it FOR mankind, and that men and women are to USE and replenish the natural resources, including land, plants and animals. That men and women created government as a tool to secure the rights God has given them. That there is no other moral purpose for government other than to equally defend the endowed rights that belong to every man and woman. So, you can be confident that what I am proposing in the Keep Idaho IDAHO plan is correct and lawful, I offer you this evidence. Article 1, Section 1, of the Idaho State Constitution, "All men are by nature free and equal, and have certain inalienable rights, among which are enjoying and defending life and liberty; acquiring, possessing and protecting property; pursuing happiness and securing safety. Article 2, All political power is inherent in the people. Government is instituted for their equal protection and benefit, and they have the right to alter, reform or abolish the same whenever they may deem it necessary." The Declaration of Independence, which we celebrate every fourth of July, reads in part, "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness—That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, —That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government…" The Keep Idaho IDAHO plan is simple and responsible. It frees the people of Idaho to more openly trade with each other without fear from improper use of force. It empowers police officers to follow their conscience, parents to fulfill their divine roll and school teachers to more fully help prepare children for a life of prosperity. The Keep Idaho IDAHO plan will open up entire new and prosperous industries in energy, healthcare and agriculture. This plan will solve Idaho's affordable housing crisis while maintaining the rural culture that makes Idaho IDAHO. Overall, the Keep Idaho IDAHO plan will improve life, bring prosperity, foster personal time and secure the opportunity for happiness to every person living within the beautiful State of Idaho.
