#5 This is why we need a space station - actually, about a dozen of them, all circling the Earth at about 8000 miles up (out of range of A-Sat). Each could broadcast up to 40,000 stations to every square inch of the earth's surface. Remember "How ya gonna keep 'em down on the farm, after they've seen Pariee?"? I'm not for totally destroying the culture of any group, but I'm totally against controlling the ability to get information other than that "approved" by the local government - OR the local church. IF you really want to give a turbantop a headache, give him something to think about. Bombard them with TNC, TNT, A&E, Discovery, Disney, HBO, Showtime, and anything else that can hit the space-based repeater. Don't DUB ANYTHING - if it's a French show, broadcast it in French; if it's a German show, broadcast it in German; if someone else has already dubbed it (in Spanish, Japanese, or Polish, for instance), go ahead and broadcast it in whatever language it's received in.
Can you imagine the impact (word chosen with great care) of a Madonna "music video" broadcast into Islamistan in 145 different languages? 24/7, for about six months? I guarantee it will end bloodshed in Islamistan - all the males will have glazed eyeballs, incapable of finding a REAL rifle, and unable to see the sites if they do. |
