This Video Speaks for itself. Video Page Link This is only the view of the small creditors and debit card issuers but I don’t think you will get the big box stores side of it unless it be the stewed version they are giving congress. WebCast on the Debit AmendmentJune 9, 2010 – 10:30 AM EDT For many years I myself have been angry about the FCC rules being relaxed about 20 years ago with regard to Part 15 Interference between devices. This was not such a big deal when it happened as there were not 1/1000 the RF transmitters and not near as many potential receivers to interfere with but still I seen this at the time to just change the argument pitting neighbor against neighbor as if either one would really know why they could not watch their soap-opera when one of them was using a 2-way radio. Times have changed and most devices that could cause interference and receive interference have increased and show no sign of not doubling every 2 years. Just watch and see how many iPads are sold in the first week when they are released to have a clue. Yes these devices just like the Kindle have a GSM cell phone embedded in them. Now with 2 new problems to mention: Now take into account that the Toyota’s that are in the most hot water for doing things that they just should not be doing on their own. These cars are a FLY-BY-WIRE. Meaning that many of them do not have a direct mechanical control but the steering along with the accelerator and brakes are completely under computer actuation with computer controlled servo motors. While I will take Toyota’s at their word that the computer systems on board function 100% correct, this would be without any outside influence of RF signals getting into the computer or its other on-board micro-controller systems that communicate with it. All of this brings us to a new chapter in what type of rules we need going forward as the FCC is currently making new plans for mobile broadband including frequency & modulation standards for whole new groups of digital signals including Video for mobile broadband. I’m sorry, I just don’t trust a company to ensure this on their own or we would not be speaking of it in the first place as this issue has been out there for at least 10 years. How am I to feel safe knowing one of these steer by wire cars is driving down the lane towards me and some trucker with a CB radio using a illegal power amplifier and a improperly tuned antenna starts yakking on it and that car could steer into me when the driver looses control at no fault of his own! OR As happens from time to time, a amplifier in a cell tower or paging transmitter begins to breakdown and becomes spuratic (sending many unwanted signals) that does commonly happen and there are rules against this but how would anyone know it caused your car or plane to crash. What about a Cable TV system becomes leaky near its in line amplifiers used to keep signal levels up as the line gets longer. Yes there must be new rules to govern any digital electronic systems with regard to Radio Frequency Interference ( RFI ) resistance when lives are at risk. I am sure this has happened 100’s of times and the real cause was never found. So here is a set of YouTube Videos from TheMidnightEngineer in a rather boring but informative explanation of how this is happening with the Toyota’s in question. Part 1 – Background FCC/Digital Radio Electronics/Anatomy of Car Electronics Control Some Congressman are calling on accountability, I plan to help them out ! As there is much footage and information now in digital form on the web, we can now dig up video footage to show where current events problems came from in their root and what politicians were promoting them. So for my first task, the banking collapse (still in process) that has had an effect on every American Not to mention costing multi-trillion dollars to the world economy that directly impact our ability to export goods. I find that you can not fix or stop a repeat of a problem unless you understand where it came from. Now President Obama does not want to finger point (he didn’t tell me not to) and I do not want to accuse anyone of anything so let the file footage and congressional records speak for itself in their own words because there is plenty of blame to go around… It is undisputed that the first enabler for the collapse of the banking system was the repeal of the Glass-Steagall Act. A act that was created from the last banking collapse in the early 1930’s that lead to the “Great Depression” . the bill was called “Financial Services Modernization Act of 1999” Here is a full list who voted for it in the House and Senate. Here is a short list of some still in office that Voted Yea/For: Boenher (R-OH), McCain (R-AZ), Gramm (R-TX), Specter (R-PA now independent), Kasich, (R-OH), Shuster (R-PA), Lugar(R-IN) Confusing as it is to me Nancy Pelosi(D-CA) Did Not Vote On This. Politically safe??? Also worth noting, At least 5 (I can’t confirm 6 & 7) of the members voting Yea are currently serving prison terms. J.Trafficant (D-OH)-bribery and racketeering &Already out, B.Ney (R-OH)-corrupt dealings with now-convicted lobbyist Jack Abramoff, Bob Ney was the Main Sponsor of the bill, R.Cunningham (R-CA)-Taking $2.1m+ Bribes, W.Jefferson (D-LA)-Bribery+++, Tom Delay(R-TX)-money-laundering, Also Worth noting Some of Those still in office Voting Ney/Against: Rockefeller (D-WV), Biden (D-DE), Kerry (D-MA), Reid (D-NV), Dodd (D-CT), Kennedy (D-MA)(recent death), Kapture (D-OH), R.Byrd (D-WV), M.Waters (D-CA), R.Paul(R-TX), List of the Bills Sponsors (those promoting the idea/need of the legislation): So it’s bill signing day Nov. 12 1999 and here is the what the politicians had to say about this so-called victory for the American People… Please stop back as there is surely going to be a part 2 & 3 for this topic. Were tak’n names and making a hit list ! There is a election coming ! Some after thoughts on several post ago… So we had pointed out the fact that the High Courts decision leaves a national security hole in our constitutional government as now any multinational company may sway a election with as many millions of dollars they see fit. Not having proper time to totally digest the implications of this, I have left out some other important points and a solution… The biggest point I left out of the equation is that this will save Corporate America 100’s of millions of dollars now ! You herd it right, it will save them millions probably billions on lobby spending. How is that you say? Now they do not have to spend the money to get what they want. They only have to threaten to spend money against the elected to sway a Congressman’s Vote. Yes the mere threat is all they need. It’s like having a loaded gun to your head. They do not need to use it, just the fact that they have it and can use it is enough. Save them plenty of money. Only time we will have a clash is when two opposing company’s have the money and conflicting interest. I wonder what will happen then? On a different note, not one scholar can seem to figure out where the court came up with this as they pulled the case before them and made argument that was not being made in the case. This leads me to believe that while all of us were kept busy worried if a court nominee was liberal or conservative, no one was asking if they were Neo-Capitalist ! So what do we the people do ? If a company has the same rights as a citizen and they can spend as much as you and money is equal to free speech and congress can take no action against the first amendment? WE THE PEOPLE ! remember that clause, well the founding fathers did give the people a way out almost as they could have predicted this event over 225 years ago ! We The People can “Amend the Constitution” and decide that corporations who did not have a unalienable right to vote have no rights as a citizen as they are not a living being and were originally created and chartered to serve the public interest can not contribute 1 dollar to any election campaign. But it would be good to ensure that Congress can not take away in part or whole any amendment coming from “THE PEOPLE”. So that should be added to it also. Again… where are you Gerry Spence ? I need you ! Come Off That Damn Mountain, this is what you were born for ! I’m about to do a one man march on Congress, The Court and Wall Street for good measure in my work clothes (without job) and pitch fork in hand and a sign that says “The Banks Took My Job And Now I Can Not Afford Enough Free Speech To Change My Situation” Could You Please Lend Me Some Free Speech?” If I can not afford free speech, I surely will never be able to afford to eat ! I will be open for comments on this one so please be civil ! This has a pretty simple answer. He should take lessons from Ronald Reagan. Take your case to the people and ask for their help to achieve specifically crafted legislation like Bank Reform, Health Care Reform, Lobby Reform. He is going to have to get a backbone and not worry about who he is going to politically offend, Most especially in his own party ! Yes his own party has done him such an injustice and can blame him for what did not go right while they are responsible. Now to get back to the point, Ronald Reagan proved for the first time since Kennedy and Roosevelt that a president can call on its citizens and will find them a positive force that congress will heed to. Many a speech he gave, sometime with visual charts, and explain the problem and and give the American People a clear plan and you will find the support enormous. Obamas’ big problem now is time is a wasting. Had he done this in his first year, it would be more effective as political foes begin to chip away at his credibility with dis-information … and the clock is a tick’n… I for one find the biggest problem with our government (outside of the power of lobbyist) is Congress. I see no alternative but to vote for any Independent no matter their message. If Obama does not begin to assert himself soon, I will be looking for a Independent Presidential Candidate. The Supreme Court has not only re affirmed a 2003 decision that money some how equates to free speech, they took the limits off how much money can be free speech. At the root of the debate is how much money a Corporations can spend on election campaigns of political officials. Now first keeping mind that it is very hard to track just how much money a company pushes into a election issue, yes, I said issue as they care not for the candidate, just for who will prevent anything that will keep them from doing what they want and or help them put up regulation to keep small business (who run much leaner) from being able to get a grip on their market because they have built a better mouse trap. This also has the effect of Some company’s basically silencing small company’s let alone the taxpayer… How Much Free Speech Can You Afford? They can afford to buy all the air-time of all the media. Even easier, many of them own their own media, many more have control of them via the services they offer (ie the banks) can you ? I should say that not all company’s are guilty of this but I only need to say the the bank lobby, the health insurance lobby for you to understand the kind of grip they have already had on congress alone. This hard to track money will most likely be filtered to other groups like Chambers of Commerce or folks you never have herd of that say they act in your (citizen/taxpayer) interest for promotion into campaigns. One large problem with reforming any of this “with law” is that the current system will not allow for it with the current level of Influence The FREE SPEECH OF Company’s presently enjoy and the fact that Company’s have been given the same rights as Citizens. As far as I am concerned, Corporations have as much free speech as the employees that own and work for them. How many votes is that. I am reminded of a old phrase I once touted in High School, “It Said We The People, Not We The Corporations” So How Much Free Speech Can You Afford? I also remember the history of Supreme Court Rulings that took away some states rules that voting rights only for those that owned land was not allowed under the constitution. Are we headed back to those times? Company’s may have the same rights under current law but they are still not people. So how is this different than a vote per acre of land? Corporate charters specifically state that the charter is issued only on the premise that it is in the public’s interest to provide protection not afforded an individual. So who is to be serving who here? It is clear on the issue of that charter that they are given special rights not afforded a citizen. In the current climate, I would like to take issue with the fact the Congress Listens with their wallet until we can find a way to change this failed ruling. Those in congress need to know we are watching close but the reality is with so much dis-information out there now, I just can’t see how the average person can sift through it without a good investigative journalism in the nation, also a result of large merger activity and lobbying. |
