re: IS "SATELLITE RECEPTION" *really* the basis for Internet, TV, and "Global Communications"?

While the deep sea cables are inaccessible, Seems like a group could hit those points where these cables come to land and blackout countries or even the entire world.
YES. Exactly. Thanks for bringing that up (I'd presumed your scenario might be a discussion focal point of the thread, BUT...)
You're the ONLY poster here who's obviously watched the video and noticed this potentially critical SNAFU that's already shut down communications along Africa for several days.

Interesting thought. Surprised there isn't a movie about it yet. or maybe there is.
Yeah, those coastal lines are more vulnerable than anyone might think. It would make for a great movie premise -- I agree.

What do houses in the past having antennas for reception of VHF/UHF “line of sight” TV signals have to do with my statement that it seems odd that every “Dish TV” parabolic dish in the US is pointed at the same point in the sky if they were actually receiving signals from ground stations?
Establishing the point that even "low tech" antennas were sensitive to signal direction and reception that affect clarity of signal.

I seem to remember something about radio signals and rotating E+H fields from a Emag class while earning my BS in physics.
The majority of home antennas used in the past for over the air reception were a hybrid yagi/logperiodic design, combining a broadband log cell with individual yagi directors to optimize gain a desecrate channel frequencies, not the two element phased dipole array shown in the advertisement you posted. I had a 35 year career working with antennas, transmission lines, wave propagation, and any other aspect of RF you can think of, your “ground tower” premise of satellite TV reception is not based in reality.
The ad I posted was obvious for demonstration purposes; I'm not here to dissect every technical detail of antenna operations -- though I can appreciate your area of technical expertise.
Are you onboard the theory of RF waves bouncing off the "ionosphere" and back to earth?
Speaking of the "Ground Tower" premise of ANY RF / Microwave energy reception -- what are you told is the function of 5G ground towers erected nearly everywhere -- and that necessity?

Are their people who don't think they are vulnerable? They have been tapped, severed, and/or tampered with constantly since the undersea cables were invented. This whole thread seems to be you being late to the party on knowing what satellites do.

I’m trying to follow you down the path you are teyong so hard to lead us down. But I’m having a hard time doing so. You are being too coy and clever about it all. Can you please just tell me what it is you are trying to get us to have the aha! moment about regarding satellites? You obviously have an end in mind. I don’t have the mental energy to try and decipher your clues.

Stop listening to Coast to Coast late at night. When the other ball finally drops ....girls are much more entertaining

Satellites don’t exist like we are told, they are held up by balloons? Pretty sure that is because the earth is flat, so achieving earth orbit is impossible or some shite. I dunno.
Trying to decipher what he is saying is a fool’s errand, since it’s nonsensical. Just enjoy the batshit crazy ride.

Is there something you want explained about our telecom system or a point you are trying to make?

You have to be either the dumbest motherfricker on this site or just a great and dedicated troll.
Rather than prompting any useful discussion, your threads and contributions to them actually damage the credibility of the ideas you are so vaguely skirting.
"Read between my lines, tell me what YOU think, sheeple!"
I'm guessing by your skeptical references to low earth "orbit" in scare quotes, the balloon thing, and your constant pairing of the word "globe" with "realm" that you do not believe the earth is spherical or that we are capable of putting orbiting satellites into space. You may not even believe in the existence of "space" as a vacuum but instead some sort of firmament structure.
I'm left to conclude this pile of retarded bullshite because you won't actually state what you think, presumably because it is embarrassing or because the black helicopters will descend upon your house if you go into too much detail. Rather, you come in here mocking others while yourself not knowing what a geosynchronous orbit is. "I'm the questions guy, only you can find the answers."
In summation, I think you are a nutjob who sees nefarious conspiracy in everything to make your day/life more interesting.

Once again -- IF you managed to watch the video, you'd have understood the context; According to part of the lead report and premise, for WHATEVER reason (accidents, sabotage), quite a bit of Africa lost ALL their internet for several days.
The volume of NEW ADDITIONAL fiberoptic cable lines are being installed along the world's coasts is increasing every day. These cable communications -- and especially KEY junctures -- are NOT impervious to sabotage. (unless for some reason, YOU think otherwise.)

"Late to the Party"?? Lol - you're not even in the room. You're still blowing your horn at the wrong address.
Whether at the Star Forts thread, or this, you never fail to take a tangent waaay far outside the info stream and focal point, do you? Pleeeese update your Ritalin dose, bro.
Your input is and can be helpful...watching a video here and there BEFORE becoming distracted and re-directing threads down Oblivion Hwy could help immensely.
This thread subject matter could have gone in several directions -- which is what it's supposed to make things interesting.
If your goal is to sabotage and shite on these types of challenging threads, congrats. Well done.

Yes, please clarify what the point is here. Is it a validation of "Flat Earth" theory, or something else? I am guilty of not having watched the video, initially. Now that I have, I still don't know what the revelation is supposed to be. I am generally open to counter narrative info but, I just don't understand what it is we are supposed to be discussing.

Ditto.
It's too bad.
I'd like to have had a decent flow of convo with you or anyone else. As I just said in a prior recent post, this thread could have gone more than a few directions. Unfortunately, before it gets started, it becomes derailed by triggered drive-bys and OT tangents. It gets tiring picking up empty beer cans.

No mas. You win. I give up.
I had plenty of other material and video in the bullpen to post related to this subject.
I'll eat it instead.

Thank you for doing your part to declutter the board.

Good call. Don't think there's any desire for your admittedly unique brand of obfuscation here.
Posted on 2/9/22 at 4:55 pm to Liberator
If you would actually contribute to the discussion and clarify your posts/personal views, you’d have a better time.
Posted on 2/9/22 at 4:56 pm to Liberator
Brother? The first few comments are almost always like that and "you" as the OP have to get past that and roll with it and try to work with it, not against it. IMHO.
Carry on.
Carry on.

I’m safe from the satellites because I lined my starfort with tinfoil. 
Posted on 2/9/22 at 4:59 pm to Liberator
Where were you and what did you know about the satellites being taken down?
