KNOWLEDGE IS POWER! - ALL INFORMATION SHOULD BE FREE! MISTRUST AUTHORITY! WHEN CRYPTOGRAPHY IS OUTLAWED, ONLY OUTLAWS WILL HAVE CRYPTOGRAPHY! ____________________________________________________________________ For 28 years, the International Information Guild (IIRG), sought the boundaries of technical exploration and knowledge. But, just as we expected, some social deviants have arisen claiming to be IIRG.
The self proclaimed leader of this band of posers seems to be an agent provocateur, who likes stirring up trouble just for the fun of doing so.
If anyone or any collective claims to be IIRG, they are liars and poser!

Circuit Cellar Magazine - April 2008 PDF
Offers hands-on applications and solutions for embedded-control designers.
So who is likely to enjoy this magazine? Serious electronics hobbyists, for sure, garage robot-builders and gadgeteers, engineering students at any level (grade school to grad school), and the people who teach those students - or at least try to keep up. It's probably good for consultants who do electronic prototypes and one-offs, where fast turnaround and proof of principle matters more than volume production or FAA certification. And I bet it's good for any hardware engineer who wants to know more about software, or vice versa. It's for anyone who thinks embedded system development is just plain fun, if you do it right. Who's not going to read this? Well, it's not a trade rag, so there's nothing about industrial deals and dealmakers. It's not an academic journal, and math is at the upper-high school level, at most. It's not for the hardened pro, except maybe as a way to unwind from a day of serious engineering or research.

As many individuals know, the IIRG has ties to the survivalist community. Many of our interests often coincide, and we use their resources to our benefit. While gathering Intelligence information for interested parties, we ran across the information we have been warning of. Besides the obvious rumors of war: Israel’s security cabinet convened Wednesday, April 2, to examine the homeland’s preparedness for war. (Must be taken with a grain of salt - It's from DEBKAfile) Bomb, Bomb, Iran? (As this article points out, most Americans remain largely focused on the presidential election) North Korea issues new warning to Seoul (Where is Team America when you need them?) The item of interest to us and others in the "underground" community is the "C & R" document currently circulating among senior members of Congress. "C & R" stands for "Conflict and Revolution". It reports that if the United States defaults on loans and debt underwriting from China, Japan, and Russia, we can expect a war that will have disastrous results for the United States and the world. The other scenario is that the federal government will be forced to drastically raise taxes in order to pay off the debts to foreign countries to the point that the American people will react with a popular revolution against the government. This report along with some reports we have read out of the Congressional Research Service (CRS), points to a systematic "cleansing" (incarceration or execution) of potential domestic troublemakers Anyone who receives the label of a survivalist, militia member, tax evader , or has a general anti-government attitude will be arrested as a domestic terrorist. Anyone supporting these individuals will be arrested for giving comfort and aid to the enemy. If this situation develops further, we may have no choice but to "disappear" as the case may be. We will provide updates as long as we can do so. (Watch Your Top Knot) _____________________________________________________________________

It explains how you can: Tune in to the most common types of signals, including Morse Code (CW), single-sideband (SSB), FM, Radioteletype (RTTY), and data signals Break in, introduce yourself, converse, and say or signal goodbye Communicate while traveling (ham radio goes where mobile phones go dead) Register with an emergency organization such as ARES and RACES Help in emergencies such as earthquakes, wildfires, or severe weather Pursue your special interests, including contacting distant stations, participating in contests, exploring the digital modes, using satellites, transmitting images, and more Complete with a glossary and ten pages of additional suggested resources, Ham Radio for Dummies encourages you to touch that dial and take that mike.
CUL. (That’s Morse Code for “see you later.”)
