I think nobody would miss Al-Manar's propaganda. But freedom is the ability to make a personal choice not to watch it and its also valuable to watch peoples propaganda to know what they are saying, even if its total rubbish. I watched President Bush the other day giving a speech about the evil men in Iraq who wanted to get rid of the lawful Government. -- Jim Watt http://www.gibnet.com |

Obviously, you are right. Some things probably shouldn't be said, but it can't be said that the western leaders are always right. Thomas |

"Bill Kearney" wrote in message news ![]() Which, when you get caught, will make things worse for you since you not only had the prohibited dish but you also conspired to HIDE it. Overthrow the government. Just remember that prior to SKY satelite dishes required a home office permit to erect on private property, to get a permit you would have had to show what research you were doing to justify a licence. After SKY, you were restricted to the minimum size required to recieve SKY. Also drag out a TV & Radio licence from that period and you will see that you were only licenced to receive transmissions from transmitters licenced by the UK authority. Even now sat dishes are subject to more restrictions to other 'garden ornaments', See what you have to do to park a 30 foot yacht in your garden, then try and replace it with a 10 foot dish. If Murdoch had not used his political power to set up SKY I expect we would be asking how to make discrete dishes. |

"Rogue state?" American Freedom is engulfing the world. Its a long &
painful process because a lot of societies fear the evolution & if you don't like it, fight & die. Many have & more will. But will last a thousand years ? -- Jim Watt Dear Sir; Our race has been at war with itself since before we were able to denote classification of ourselves as a race. We always seem to find an excuse to provoke, snub, invoke, invade, occupy, erradicate...Jews & Muslims have warred since Issac & Ishmæl. Then the whole Christ thing became a virus to the rest of the planet in a race to infect the world faster than Islam while both somehow killed many, many Jews. Yet, all three religions are of the same deity. How old are these religions compared to America's 230? What percentage of our progress since the beginning of our recorded history in those 230 years? Whatever the religion, we have to co-exist, to tolerate. America is in the business of doing business based on the collective knowledge every immigrant & natural born American contribute to American policy. Sometimes the wrong people are steering that ship. But progress is always being made. Where was Deutchland before the Nationalist reconstruction? When America elects a new president, they will have the best idea of what they want in a leader because they will have 16 years of lessons to compare & reference. What the rest of the world needs to realize is that the dark government operating within all our governments is controlling us through the media. They have an agenda few of us are aware of. That is the plot to never achieve world peace. The bible declares the world will end as we know it after ten years of world peace. The greatest conspiracy of all time is the generation of excuses for war on small scales throughout the world. Most of which are religious. Or perhaps the deity is behind the intrigue & perpetuates its lies to see if we continue to kill each other. Either way, if people could communicate civily, we could all take part in the progress of our race. If only people could share ideas without killing each other for it |

I believe America signed up to the UDHR Article 9 No one shall be subjected to arbitrary arrest, detention or exile. Article 10 Everyone is entitled in full equality to a fair and public hearing by an independent and impartial tribunal, in the determination of his rights and obligations and of any criminal charge against him. -- Jim Watt http://www.gibnet.com |

"JF" wrote in message ... Curiously, dish size was determined by Arthur C Clarke in his paper 'Extra Terrestrial Relays' published in 1945. Having not read it I can't say you are wrong, but two parts of the equation would be transmission power and signal to noise of the receiver, both of which would be difficult for AC to consider as they are so dependent on technical developments. 'Political power' is not and was not required. Money was. Lots of it. SES's Astra satellite venture, based in Luxembourg, is a commercial venture. In the quantities involved money and political power go hand in hand. |

I feel the same way. Terrorism is a bitch, too. At least Ireland is on the mend. |
