Hot news, just in. Buddy called me and said 9400 shortwave out of Austin Texas was screaming something about FEMA sealing the Texas Borders. The Station is now being jammed and is indecipherable. Anybody else can confirm this report? There has been a tremendous amount of highway patrol checkpoints on the Tx. interstates the last few days in addition to the military exercises. Somebody help me out here, I need to know if this is a radio hoax or for real.

Ialso recieved an e-mail a couple of days ago statine that a TX. highway patrol had stopped a truck hauling signs that said YOU ARE UNDERMARTIAL LAW. I dismissed that as a hoax, now am not so sure.

Hi Unc. I'm serious here, this info came from a friend of over 30 years and he is solid as a rock. What he told me is what he heard, you can take that to the bank. 9400 usually comes in clear as a bell on my shortwave, and is still carrying a strong signal today but the vocals are unintelligible.

-- BParker (BParker201@aol.com), February 15, 1999.

well I just got off ICQ with my buddy. He says the radio announcer was real excited, reported that sections of the Tx. coast had military attacks underway involving Black helicopters, and that He had gotten inside information that FEMA was preparing to seal the interstate borders out of Tx. My mother came in from Dallas last night and says they had a massive task force set up on I-20 stopping traffic and profiling. Looks like we may have a nuke or some bio-chem weapons floating around in Tx. and they are trying to coral them. That is just my best guess, not hard intel.

Hey EVERYBODY? Dontt laugh at nIKOLI. AT THIS MOMENT, NOW RIGHT NOW THE BORDER between North and South Carolina IS BEING SPACKLED BY FEMA!!!! I have also BEEN told by very reliable sources that WHEN IT is dry IT WILL BE SANDED!!!!

DAKOTA, WATCH OUTT!!!

-- Dieter (questions@toask.com), February 15, 1999.

I'm a Texan, too, and have not seen or heard anything out of the ordinary. I'm in Northeast Texas close to both I-20 and I-30. I'm the former business editor at the daily newspaper, so I have contacts there. I'll try to find out if there's anything to this. Kinda doubt it, though I did see a state trooper giving a ticket to a Mexican this morning.

-- Vic (Roadrunner@compliant.com), February 15, 1999.

Thank you Diane! I was just about to e-mail you...have read many of your posts with your excellent investigating! I knew if anyone could get at the bottom of this, you could! Let us know the latest scoop or poop!! Thanks again!

-- BParker (BParker201@aol.com), February 15, 1999.

BS

If this were true it would be all over the TV and there is no way they could keep the media quiet about something this major.

Why would you make something up like this??

PMM

-- PMM (grute22@yahoo.com), February 15, 1999.

I am not making anything up. I don't know if there is anything to this or not. I am just trying to find out the truth. The info I gave was reported on the air, 9400 shortwave today. My friend said immediately after the announcement that FEMA was preparing to seal off the TX interstate borders that jamming began on that frequencey only. I have verified that the signal is being jammed on my own shortwave. That is all I know.

-- Nikoli Krushev (doomsday@y2000.com), February 15, 1999.

9400 MHz isn't being jammed. This is WGTG out of NW Georgia, and sometime in the afternoon thwey switch over from AM transmission mode to single sideband (SSB)mode, which is unintelligible with a standard AM-only shortwave radio. This might be why the signals sound garbled. I heard the entire broadcast, and the host (he also has an AM radio program out of Houston, I believe) *suggested* that perhaps the operations in Kingsville and Port Aransas (see WorldNet Daily's site) were a prelude to declaration of a state of martial law in Texas. He was obviously very upset about this situation during the broadcast (as was I), and some of his remarks were clearly speculation... although if you tuned in at just the wrong time you could have thought otherwise.

No doubt whatsoever that the goonverment is up to its usual evil business in Texas, but I don't think it's to the point of martial law just yet. Give it a few weeks (I am not joking).

If anyone is interested in a short course in shortwave listening, I'll post one, along with pertinent equipment recommendations and frerquencies..

-- Mike Lang (webflier@erols.com), February 15, 1999.

Why2k, thanks, that sounds like the explanation to me. My friend said he hadn't heard the entire broadcast, he tuned in just a few seconds before the signal went crazy. My shortwave isn't equipped with whatever switch it is you are talking about. I didn't even know they existed. I just bought it a couple of months ago, it is a DX-375 from radio shack.

-- Nikoli Krushev (doomsday@y2000.com), February 15, 1999.

Thanks all for the response, I'll post information on shortwave sometime this evening/early morning. BTW, Nikoli, that DX-375 is one of the best radios readily available in its price range. Like you said, it doesn't receive SSB, which is what WGTG was using for that broadcast.

-- KoFE (Onlyspackledonce@years.ago), February 15, 1999.

I don't know anything about sealing the borders, but last Thursday morning I was driving from San Antonio to Oklahoma City for my aunt's funeral and there were highway patrol all up and down I35. The first group of about 4-5? DPS cars were about 50 miles north of San Antonio (in San Marcos, TX) randomly stopping cars for, what a sign read, "Narcotics Checkpoints". The sign also warned "be prepared to stop". Very strange. They had various vehicles pulled over (mostly pick-ups and vans). Don't know what that was all about but I saw many, many DPS cars up to the Ft. Worth area. Perhaps they'd received some tips about some smuggling that was to take place.

-- Deborah (deboreb@texas.net), February 15, 1999.

Thanks for the info Deborah, that is pretty much what my mom described going on between Dallas and Longview on I-20.

-- Nikoli (doomsday@y2000.com), February 15, 1999.

Thanks to C.A. who sent me the links for caller.com via email, and also Diane.

The Corpus Cristi Online articles are quite different in tone than the ones in WorldnetDaily. Reading these articles, nothing is out of the ordinary and about doing the operations in secret "Carol Darby, a spokeswoman for Army Special Operations Command in Fort Bragg, said this week that the public never is notified before such exercises because it poses an security risk and also a danger to residents, who tend to gather to watch." That makes sense to me.

Deborah and others, while searching caller.com I came upon this article about drug traffic in TX, quite interesting.

http://www.te xnews.com/texas97/smuggle051897.html

I'm afraid that E. will respond that it's all propaganda and one more example how the police state is so deprived as to use innocent grannies and single women to brainwash us. But then again, it's naive to think that all grannies and single women are angelic and law abiding citizen with no greed of their own. Having worked with the public for many years, I know the contrary.

-- Chris (catsy@pond.com), February 15, 1999.

You sir are right Mr. Casty. GRANDPAS ARE OFTTEN SEEN SPACKLING AROUND THE HOUSE!!!! How hard would it be to have them join two STATES TOGETHER WITH MUD AND TAPE????

How would you know what STATE YOU ARE IN THEN???FEMA IS using our seniors to wipe out state lines with JOINT COMPOUND!!!!

slightly subversive suggestion:

the paint that they use on those helicopters costs more than a thousand dollars per gallon...if one wanted to be annoying one might find some way of launching, oh, say, a large bunch of paintballs directly in front of one of them...personally I think the ones with fluorescent paint in them would be the most interesting.

of course, none of us would ever do anything like that...

Lisa,

That would be a real trick because nothing has worked so far!

I haven't noticed anything out of the ordinary but then I live about a hundred miles west of Ft. Worth on I-20. I did mention this topic to my husband who used to work drug interdiction for the national guard. He said that the national guard often works drug interdiction with the DPS so it would not be uncommon to see uniformed national guard working with the DPS. This is particularly true for the border areas. This, of course, may or may not be the case here but it is a possibility.

I got a Valentine in the mail,...I'll give her a call tonight.

Seems to me any military checkpoints in any state smell of something rotten no matter what "reason" is spun for why. They've been doing "random" paramilitary-like police checkpoints in various suburbs in California metro areas since the beginning of the year, complete with the propaganda that this is "just keeping the good people safe from all those bad guys."
