THIS WEEK MARKED the return of Al, N2SAG — one of our most interesting speakers and longest-term participants — to the Liberty Net after a too-long absence due to a change of QTH. Welcome back, Al!
Listen: Liberty Net 2/11
Here’s a small selection of the issues debated and discussed on the Liberty Net this week:
• Two more banks have failed this week alone — making a total of nine US bank failures this year; and 154 more are on the death-watch list. This is even more egregious than you might think, since it’s not that easy to fail when you have a license to print money. (15 minutes)
• Is the new “Obamacare” health care model really a new incarnation of supply side economics? After all, how better to reward suppliers and control buyers than by requiring that a product be purchased? (19 minutes)

THIS WEEK the longest-running current events discussion net on Amateur Radio, the weekly Liberty Net, took place on its 3950 kHz LSB nominal frequency — though most weeks, interference, some of it intentional, forces the Net to be frequency-agile, usually within 10 kHz or less. Here are a few highlights from the free-swinging discussions that took place:

• Obama has now publicly stated that Americans “should not be questioning” his citizenship. (25 minutes)
• Armed Haitian gangs continue to terrorize the island, including one attack on a UN aid convoy. Similar attacks take place regularly in sub-Saharan Africa and in areas of the U.S. where Haitians have immigrated in significant numbers. Also, cock-fighting and Voodoo remain strong presences on the island, as is the folk belief in the “Loup garou,” the possessed who kidnap and eat children; many accused of being “Loup garous” have been killed. (In France, the “Loup garou” is an old myth, like vampires are to us — but millions of Haitians not only believe in such things, but kill to “protect themselves” from them.) (27 minutes)
• Why did the power structure which got the boobs whipped up to pull the levers for Obama pick such a person, whose background and even citizenship is highly questionable? Answer: he is blackmailable. The power structure always wants a back-door way to get rid of its puppets in case they get out of control, and Obama is no exception. (52 minutes)
