Kinda reminds me of K-Mart killing/eating Wards, Sears, Kress and Woolworth. The wheel turns.

But if I move to the middle of the desert, I’m sure StarLink will be awesome there.

That said The Deep State has a problem. It is the most horrible problem that ALL governments have always faced. In very broad and sweeping terms all human government came into existence to protect a group of people from outside threat to their resources to actually just live. This began with large scale agriculture. Human Societies began to form governments as they became dependent on fixed geophysical locations at which they grew their FOOD.

So,… stability and protection. Stability to move and trade the FOOD for Services. Protection to keep bad people from interfereing. But every single government ever formed had this problem. Individuals acting, seemingly at random, who might interfere with this. Soon it was discovered that many more threats to the “stability” part of the problem were LOCAL to the Society itself.

Thus controlling the seemingly random acts of Individuals became a focus for efforts to maintain “stability” or as we sometimes call it now, “Order”. Liberty is the name for Individuals acting randomly in their own interests, ostensibly limited by their own good sense.

The Deep State has completely abandon all appreciation of Liberty as I just described it. Since the advent of Socialism and Communism methods for control have been discovered that are nearly perfect in application and efficiency.

Control the Food Supply …. FDA does that
Control the perception of what is proper to eat and not proper to eat…. FDA again
Control the ability of Individuals to resist intrusions by force and use a arms… ATF handles that
Control the perception of what constitutes Good Health. …. CDC and FDA handle this.
Control the availability of Health Care. This is the heart of Medicare, Medicaid and Obama Care.. Currently all hospitals operating costs and profits depend on payments made to them by insurance companies, Medicare, and Medicade. Private Insurance companies have almost universally adopted the standards of Medicaire in evaluating what they will and will NOT pay for. The actual patient is simply an appendage which generates the income provided by The Deep State or Insurance companies that adhere to the standards of The Deep State.

Control Food and Health availability to The People and Control of The People simply falls into place with little or no effort at all. At that point anything The State merely “says is so” will be accepted as a “revealed truth” comparable to an Edict From God.

We are there now. The COVID – 19 Government induced PANIC just proved that it’s all in place and now a matter of established policy and fact. Unless you are willing for forgoe any kind of Hospital Oriented health care, AND you can prepare your own foods outside the realm of FDA regulation, i.e. delicate processes like pickling foods, and curing Meats for preservation, you are completely subject to their whims and have no Liberty left at all.

That is no longer “a danger imminent”. The COVID Panic proved that it is already here, already a policy and practice in use and institutionalized already. Any attempt, in WORD or DEED, will absolutely viewed as insurrection and in many cases now out-and-out treason,

The Individual will be pursued, hounded, persecuted and LEGALLY PUNISHED for any such activity.

Elon Musk will be lucky to survive all this. I am hoping to go with STARLINK. I am HOPING that it will still be around in 2025 when the full services are projected to be available.

I fear the worst. Musk will die under mysterious circumstances, Starlink will be regulated out of exixtence, Liberty will continue to be quashed and anyone who utters the word Liberty will be branded a “RADICAL EXTREEMIST, subject to punishment as a domestic terrorist, or insurrectionist.

It is most likely already way too late to think in terms of a political resolution to this mess. We have long passed the point of “submit or die”.

WACO should have taught us that. It didn’t.

I thought it would take Bluewalker for direct-to-device

The government doesn’t care about anything but cash. Its not personal. The idiots who work for the government might take things personal but the organization doesn’t care a bit.

All these capabilities from his satellites was predicted by Musk years ago.
