Re:Is this like "Radio Free Europe?"

On: US Military Commissions Sock Puppet Program

Does RFE prominently feature stories that could make the US look bad?
No. It's a source US-positive news.

Gate-keeping is a form of information control that falls under the broad propaganda umbrella. For a long-term influencing campaign it's important not to lie thus maintaining the source's credibility and that's where OP-EarVo separates from RFE. The EarVos can lie freely and once caught the identity is extinguished and repopulated elsewhere.

If you can understand an intended meaning to a US operation or program name then it's public persuasion / propaganda.

On: Libya SIGINT Jamming Satellites, Towers

methods of transmission:
fibre, shielded CAT & co-ax
some spread spectrum radios can probably overcome jamming

Counter-tactics:
play hotter and colder with AM(?) radios to find the jamming source
jamming requires lots of power, attack power plants and generators

That makes me sad. Well, I saw someone from the company interact on the board and honestly defend the strings in a search I did a while back. No glittering generalities, just that they make the best strings to their specifications and don't overcharge for it.

Good strings. I'll only buy those for my electric from now on. Ernie even interacts on his own internet board.

Re:Only if we can prosecute them.

How is allowing them to vote even applicable?

Additional rights entail additional responsibilities to that society.

Re:Only if we can prosecute them.

On: Should Dolphins Be Treated As Non-Human Persons?

I agree. Thus if we're affording them rights (part of our highly complex social system) we can apply other aspects (of our highly complex social system) like prosecuting for rape and murder according to our terms.

Only if we can prosecute them.

On: Should Dolphins Be Treated As Non-Human Persons?

It's a lesser known fact that dolphins engage in the practice known amongst humans as gang raping. http://scienceray.com/biology/marine-biology/not-so-cute-dolphin-gang-rape/
