Iranian Alert: Cuba reportedly Jamming US Based Iranian broadcasters Uplink Signal Into Iran.

NITV | 7.8.2003 | DoctorZin

This just in...

Today is the day all Iran has been waiting for, the day the protests and strikes are to begin in earnest. As a result, the Iranian government has successfully, but temporarily jammed all the signals of the LA based Iranian broadcasters.

They are now jamming the uplink signal, here in the United States as well. The uplink signal is the signal from the broadcast studio to the satellite, which is then relayed to another satellite and finally broadcast over Iran. This started occurring a few days ago. I was told that the FCC now believes the jamming is coming from within Cuba.

This should be reported in all the media. But the media is still silent, (except for a brief mention of these jamming incidents in today’s National Review Online).

The broadcasters are convinced that one or more of them will eventually get a signal through. They are busily readjusting their systems to use different satellites. I wish you could hear what these broadcasters are saying to the people of Iran. They are essentially calling for the people to revolt. Giving specific instructions to the people regarding how to do this. They are able to say things our government would never say. They are also strong advocates of an American style conservative ideology replacing the Islamic regime. They are teaching the people of Iran what freedom is and what it requires. Most are conservative Republicans and they are considered heroes in Iran.

Good news, the phones still appear to be working, at least for the moment. I will keep you posted.

NIGEL: This is what we use on stage, but it's very...very special because if you can see...

MARTY: Yeah...

NIGEL: ...the numbers all go to eleven. Look...right across the board.

MARTY: Ahh...oh, I see....

NIGEL: Eleven...eleven...eleven....

MARTY: ...and most of these amps go up to ten....

NIGEL: Exactly.

MARTY: Does that mean it's...louder? Is it any louder?

NIGEL: Well, it's one louder, isn't it? It's not ten. You see, most...most blokes, you know, will be playing at ten. You're on ten here...all the way up...all the way up....

MARTY: Yeah....

NIGEL: ...all the way up. You're on ten on your guitar...where can you go from there? Where?

MARTY: I don't know....

NIGEL: Nowhere. Exactly. What we do is if we need that extra...push over the cliff...you know what we do?

MARTY: Put it up to eleven.

NIGEL: Eleven. Exactly. One louder.

MARTY: Why don't you just make ten louder and make ten be the top... number...and make that a little louder?

NIGEL: ...these go to eleven.

I point to this case, the use of facilities in (PRC and USSR2 aligned) Cuba to jam signals we are using to incite rebellion in PRC and USSR2 client state Iran, as further evidence of the covert coordination between the resurgent Sino - Soviet empire and their 21st century Nazi equivalent, the Islamofascist international empire. Since Hitler was the "Icebreaker" for the Communists in WW-II, naturally, the Islamist states will be the "Icebreaker" for them in WW-III. The Cold War did not end, it only stopped briefly to catch its breath.

The Axis we face....

While I'm pleased to hear the news about Iran, I'd have to say that the jamming is almost definitely coming from within Iran itself.

Cuba jamming a satellite uplink originating in Los Angeles is unlikely. In short, you don't jam the sender, you jam the reciever, unless you have a huge ammount of power available. That means they'd have to be targeting the satellite. (Cuba?) Even if Cuba could put out enough power to jam the signal out of L.A., they'd wind up jamming a lot more than just Iranian TV.

Deliberate and overt jamming into another country is a internationally recongnized hostile act. I don't think Cuba has a dog in this fight, so why would they risk the smackdown? It would be very easy to prove if they were doing it, as the signature would be enormous. Interfering with the satellite would also be an invitation for trouble, and I doubt that Cuba has the capability.

Its far more likely and technologically feasible for the Iranians to be disrupting the downlink. I'm not a jamming guru, but I'm sure the signal is far more vulnerable to the mullahs when it reaches Iran than before.

Please post links to your sources. This merits investigation from a certain media watchdog group...

As in: "You Wanna Piece O' THIS?!"

Here's an example of pieces coming together with a thread: I'm listening to the Van Halen song "Right Now" and reading a thread about the Iranian Revolution. Goosebumps on the arms, youbetcha!

Let me get this straight.

An Iranian group is broadcasting via Sattelite from LA to Iran, by Sat Relay. Cuba is intercepting and jamming the signal.

Could this not be interpreted as an act of provocation?

Let's jam up all the Cuban broadcast media, it's all used for propaganda anyway. We have the capability.

Porque no?

...Cuba jamming a satellite uplink originating in Los Angeles is unlikely...

I am just reporting what the FCC is apparently telling NITV. We had heard reports earlier that the FCC was investigating mobile vehicles suspected of being the source of the jamming. I am just passing along what I am hearing. I will keep you posted.

It's possible that the Cubans can jam satellite TV. They have been jamming TV and Radio Marti (a broadcast service of Voice of America and a branch of the State Department) since 1990 - thus building up quite a bit of experience. In 2002, TV Martie's budget was $470 million.
