No; just the delivery of it.
I’ve a generator; but it becomes useless without a large supply of fuel on hand as well.
Propane will store a LOoooong time without turning to goo.
Somewhere; out in the barn; is my old CB radio...

....... The Ministry of Truth, Winston's place of work, contained, it was said, three thousand rooms above ground level, and corresponding ramifications below. The Ministry of Truth concerned itself with Lies. Party ownership of the print media made it easy to manipulate public opinion, and the film and radio carried the process further. The primary job of the Ministry of Truth was to supply the citizens of Oceania with newspapers, films, textbooks, telescreen programmes, plays, novels - with every conceivable kind of information, instruction, or entertainment, from a statue to a slogan, from a lyric poem to a biological treatise, and from a child's spelling-book to a Newspeak dictionary. Winston worked in the RECORDS DEPARTMENT (a single branch of the Ministry of Truth) editing and writing for The Times. He dictated into a machine called a speakwrite. Winston would receive articles or news-items which for one reason or another it was thought necessary to alter, or, in Newspeak, rectify. If, for example, the Ministry of Plenty forecast a surplus, and in reality the result was grossly less, Winston's job was to change previous versions so the old version would agree with the new one. This process of continuous alteration was applied not only to newspapers, but to books, periodicals, pamphlets, posters, leaflets, films, sound-tracks, cartoons, photographs - to every kind of literature or documentation which might conceivably hold any political or ideological significance. When his day's work started, Winston pulled the speakwrite towards him, blew the dust from its mouthpiece, and put on his spectacles. He dialed 'back numbers' on the telescreen and called for the appropriate issues of The Times, which slid out of the pneumatic tube after only a few minutes' delay. The messages he had received referred to articles or news-items which for one reason or another it was thought necessary to rectify. In the walls of the cubicle there were three orifices. To the right of the speakwrite, a small pneumatic tube for written messages; to the left, a larger one for newspapers; and on the side wall, within easy reach of Winston's arm, a large oblong slit protected by a wire grating. This last was for the disposal of waste paper. Similar slits existed in thousands or tens of thousands throughout the building, not only in every room but at short intervals in every corridor. For some reason they were nicknamed memory holes. When one knew that any document was due for destruction, or even when one saw a scrap of waste paper lying about, it was an automatic action to lift the flap of the nearest memory hole and drop it in, whereupon it would be whirled away on a current of warm air to the enormous furnaces which were hidden somewhere in the recesses of the building. As soon as Winston had dealt with each of the messages, he clipped his speakwritten corrections to the appropriate copy of The Times and pushed them into the pneumatic tube. Then, with a movement which was as nearly as possible unconscious, he crumpled up the original message and any notes that he himself had made, and dropped them into the memory hole to be devoured by the flames. What happened in the unseen labyrinth to which the tubes led, he did not know in detail, but he did know in general terms. As soon as all the corrections which happened to be necessary in any particular number of The Times had been assembled and collated, that number would be reprinted, the original copy destroyed, and the corrected copy placed on the files in its stead. In the cubicle next to him the little woman with sandy hair toiled day in day out, simply at tracking down and deleting from the Press the names of people who had been vaporized and were therefore considered never to have existed. And this hall, with its fifty workers or thereabouts, was only one-sub-section, a single cell, as it were, in the huge complexity of the Records Department. Beyond, above, below, were other swarms of workers engaged in an unimaginable multitude of jobs. There were huge printing-shops and their sub editors, their typography experts, and their elaborately equipped studios for the faking of photographs. There was the tele-programmes section with its engineers, its producers and its teams of actors specially chosen for their skill in imitating voices; clerks whose job was simply to draw up lists of books and periodicals which were due for recall; vast repositories where the corrected documents were stored; and the hidden furnaces where the original copies were destroyed. And somewhere or other, quite anonymous, there were the directing brains who co-ordinated the whole effort and laid down the lines of policy which made it necessary that this fragment of the past should be preserved, that one falsified, and the other rubbed out of existence. |

Does anyone know if Savage was on ANYWHERE last night or if he’ll be on tonight?
Do you think he’ll throw in the towel?
He shouldn’t because if he stands up to these quislings in one way or the another, maybe he could influence a wealthy right winger to buy a network and figure out a way to bypass the unconstitutional FCC (until it is permanently abolished) so we can have a RADIO FREE AMERICA!!!
It will backfire. It will raise the issue of both
- Hillary’s health and
- freedom of speech
to a very high level in our country both of which needs to be escalated.
Yesterday Greta.
It will backfire. It will raise the issue of both

In the meantime, does anyone know if Savage was on ANYWHERE last night or if he’ll be on tonight?

Should we be expecting a knock at the door soon?
Logical explanation (logical, not necessarily rational): the Lying Left hates the truth and will do everything to suppress the truth because the truth threatens their lust for power and YOUR money. If they could extinguish the Constitution they would in a heartbeat. As it is, the states and the American People are letting them slowly but increasingly ignore the Constitution almost in its entirety.
The Constitution is pro individual freedom and pro limited government both of which the Left loathes and despises. The problem the Left has is the nasty reality that the Constitution is the Supreme Law of the Land over the feds but they are doing everything they can to remove that “problem”.
That is a logical explanation .of their irrational behavior.
I noticed you posted this at 3:54:41. I think is was shortly after your post time that they pulled the plug on Savage and started reruns.
Like I said earlier, I’m at best a very sporadic listener of Michael Savage, so I don’t know if he’s back on the air.
He does have a very large audience, so the stations lose revenue not having a popular show at their disposal.
I wonder if individual stations can pick him up or if they are totally under the thumb of the combines?
Savage is a little cracked, but he’s kind of funny and has a rare intuitive sense of things which sometime fails him but often leads him to hit the mark. He’s hit the mark about Trump and Hillary and that is why they’ve pulled the plug on him.
And you know somewhere lurking in the stealth underworld in all of this are the feds in the form of, in this case, the unconstitutional FCC which must be permanently abolished.
Will Hannity put it up, forgetting about a possible personal grudge he might have with Savage, because freedom of speech and the press is more important that personal conflicts?
Hey guys, sorry about what they’re doing to Savage.
Do you guys know if he was on last night or if he’ll be on tonight?
I think this will back fire and could increase Savage’s ratings if he hangs in there.
He was in yesterday. not sure about today. live?

Did Rush talk about this today, anybody know? If not, then he’s been threatened.
They will use the front door. ;)
