VIC, W1WCR’s antenna repairs this week brought his already continent-spanning signal back up to the continent-dominating level. Vic is the Net Control Station (NCS) for amateur radio’s longest-running current events discussion net, the Liberty Net.

As Spring and Summer — and increased atmospheric static — loom in the near future, it’s good to plan transmitting antenna improvements at your station. Full-size antennas — a full quarter wave vertical with an excellent radial system, or a half-wave or longer horizontal antenna no lower than 50 feet average above the ground — are definitely the best. 75 meters is a highly crowded and competitive band with a high natural noise level, and compromise antennas are a poor choice for net operations.

Here’s a small sample of some of the concepts discussed on the Liberty Net this week:

• You know it’s really getting bad when Federal Reserve officials themselves are warning that Bernanke’s “QE Infinity” policy, and the unsaleable debt it’s based on, threaten the solvency of the “fail proof” central bank. (11 minutes)

• The bankers can easily make it look like the “sequester” causes huge economic problems — and thereby get the kind of budget agreement they want (one that creates more and more debt and more interest payments to them, natch) — just by turning down their money creation spigots for a few days. (38 minutes)

• Is this recent “kill the zombies” meme being aggressively propagated to inure us to the killing of the disheveled, injured, migrating, desperate people who might be present after the System collapses? (44 minutes)

• Returning veterans who are classified as suffering from “battle fatigue” — and who wouldn’t, after being forced to commit atrocities on innocents — are now being notified that they have “forfeited” their Second Amendment rights. Watch the video “The Battle of Athens” to find out why. (49 minutes)

• Decent people sympathize with the innocent Muslims who stayed home in their own countries and who are being slaughtered by Israel and America in the Middle East. But is it a good idea to allow millions of angry Muslims free entry into the US? — or to permit them to set up paramilitary training camps here? (1 hour 3 minutes)

• Whenever you want to know what the oligarchs are planning, watch for Democrats and Republicans pushing through legislation together. Recently, a number of bills have been quietly passed facilitating an EU-US financial merger, which would drive the hooks of debt even deeper into the American people. (1 hour 7 minutes)

• Italy’s Berlusconi is hated by the oligarchs, in part because he is a good friend of Vladimir Putin — and the oligarchs really hate Putin, who put several of their number in jail. (1 hour 10 minutes)

• Again and again and again, over many decades, the productive White people of America have funded new housing for the underclass, at the insistence of the financial elite, and again and again and again, this housing has been destroyed by its inhabitants. Again and again and again, over many decades, the banking elite have extracted interest (on money they created out of nothing) from the productive White people of America — in order to build their chalets in Switzerland and their mansions in the Cayman Islands and the like — and this fraudulent theft of our wealth accelerates daily and the greed of the elite ever increases. (1 hour 32 minutes)
