  4. ⭐️The ‘Traditionalists’ and Trump⭐️

    With the election of #Trump, Putin has found a potential ally in unwinding the trans-Atlantic networks that support the liberal democracies that flowered following the end of the Cold War.

    Trump, like Putin, has made his disdain for groups like NATO and the EU clear,

    and pushed a vision of Victorian-era spheres of interest,
    in which regional powers are allowed something far closer to free reign in their respective regions than anything seen during the post-Cold War period.

    While Trump falls back on fiscal arguments,
    claiming that security relations with other NATO member-states aren’t worth the price of maintaining the U.S.’s participation,
    his opposition to organizations like the European Union parallels arguments out of the Kremlin
    —all while Trump continues defending Putin’s policies.

    Any time he’s faced with questions of Putin’s probity
    —of Moscow’s destruction of an independent press, say,
    or of the Kremlin’s suffocation of opposition actors
    —Trump deflects.

    Not only has the former president continued casting doubt on the U.S. intelligence consensus that Moscow meddled in the American election to support Trump,
    but he has further said Putin has been
    “far more” of a “leader” than former President Barack Obama ever was.

    Indeed, it’s within Trump’s outspoken praise for Putin that we can trace the contours of the reasons
    white nationalists and members of the Religious Right continue to look to Moscow for support and inspiration,
    and continue to admire and praise Putin’s policies.

    For white nationalists, in their blinkered understanding of recent developments in Moscow,
    Putin presents something of an ur-leader:

    a head of state embodying an idealized view of masculinity,
    undistracted by legal or cultural niceties in pursuit of his ultimate end-goals.

    Rather than remaining within the understood boundaries of post-Cold War politics,
    Putin has, to America’s white nationalists,
    reclaimed the primacy of a white, Christian population within a multi-ethnic federation:

    a model white nationalists envision as a possibility under Trump.

    The Religious Right, meanwhile, stands enthralled with Putin’s willingness to bolster the church,
    with the Russian Orthodox Church maintaining a clear, superior role both within the state and over other non-Christian religions.

    Moscow is only too happy to provide both financial and organizational backing for sympathetic groups in the U.S. and elsewhere,
    and is almost certain to do so for the foreseeable future.

    And with Trump’s inauguration, Moscow has a man in Washington who, by all appearances,
    has little interest in investigating these ties,
    or of slowing these swelling links.

    While Trump and his team occupy the White House, Russia will have an ally in attempting to roll back the liberal order,
    with the American president acting as a partner,
    witting or otherwise, of the Kremlin
    —as well as the white nationalists and Religious Right cohorts on both sides of the Atlantic,
    whose support for the Kremlin seems likely to accelerate for the foreseeable future.

  9. The links between Russian officials and the American Religious Right,
    like those between Kremlin-linked actors and American white nationalists,
    are easy to trace.

    According to the Southern Poverty Law Center, Duma member #Yelena #Mizulina,
    who helped spearhead Russia’s anti-gay “propaganda” law,
    has been “heavily involved” with the WCF.

    #Vladimir #Yakunin, former head of Russian Railways
    —and a Kremlin insider who has cultivated additional links with the American theocratic “#dominionist” movement
    —has also served as a WCF committee member.

    Likewise, Russia’s 2011 package of anti-abortion legislation saw conspicuous links with the WCF’s efforts.

    To wit, the package of abortion restrictions, speared by Mizulina, was launched a day after a series of WCF higher-ups,
    including Carlson and Managing Director Larry Jacobs,
    settled into Moscow for a
    “Demographic Summit,”
    the WCF’s most substantial assembly in Russia to date.

    As the head of a Russian women’s advocacy group later said,
    “It was 100 percent clear that everything [in the anti-abortion legislation] was copied from the experience of American fundamentalists
    and conservative circles of several European countries
    where abortion is forbidden or restricted severely.”

    Or as the WCF would later claim in its promotional material:

    The WCF “helped pass the first Russian laws restricting abortion in modern history.”

    Still, the WCF is by no means the lone U.S. Religious Right organization outspoken in its praise of Moscow,
    or supporting Kremlin policy.

    Over the past few years, arch-conservatives in the U.S. have begun espousing something approaching infatuation with Putin,
    especially for Moscow’s leading role in both passing and encouraging anti-LGBT legislation.

    For instance, #Bryan #Fischer, who until 2015 was a spokesman for the "American Family Association"
    and who still hosts a show broadcast over its radio network,
    has called Putin the
    “lion of Christianity.”

    Evangelist #Franklin #Graham
    —who visited Russia in 2015 to meet with Russian Orthodox Patriarch Kirill
    —has likewise lauded Putin as someone “protecting traditional Christianity.”

    For instance, #Bryan #Fischer, who until 2015 was a spokesman for the "American Family Association"
    and who still hosts a show broadcast over its radio network,
    has called Putin the
    “lion of Christianity.”

    Evangelist #Franklin #Graham
    —who visited Russia in 2015 to meet with Russian Orthodox Patriarch Kirill
    —has likewise lauded Putin as someone “protecting traditional Christianity.”

  13. The links between Russian officials and the American Religious Right,
    like those between Kremlin-linked actors and American white nationalists,
    are easy to trace.

    According to the Southern Poverty Law Center, Duma member #Yelena #Mizulina,
    who helped spearhead Russia’s anti-gay “propaganda” law,
    has been “heavily involved” with the WCF.

    #Vladimir #Yakunin, former head of Russian Railways
    —and a Kremlin insider who has cultivated additional links with the American theocratic “#dominionist” movement
    —has also served as a WCF committee member.

    Likewise, Russia’s 2011 package of anti-abortion legislation saw conspicuous links with the WCF’s efforts.

    To wit, the package of abortion restrictions, speared by Mizulina, was launched a day after a series of WCF higher-ups,
    including Carlson and Managing Director Larry Jacobs,
    settled into Moscow for a
    “Demographic Summit,”
    the WCF’s most substantial assembly in Russia to date.

    As the head of a Russian women’s advocacy group later said,
    “It was 100 percent clear that everything [in the anti-abortion legislation] was copied from the experience of American fundamentalists
    and conservative circles of several European countries
    where abortion is forbidden or restricted severely.”

    Or as the WCF would later claim in its promotional material:

    The WCF “helped pass the first Russian laws restricting abortion in modern history.”

    Still, the WCF is by no means the lone U.S. Religious Right organization outspoken in its praise of Moscow,
    or supporting Kremlin policy.

    Over the past few years, arch-conservatives in the U.S. have begun espousing something approaching infatuation with Putin,
    especially for Moscow’s leading role in both passing and encouraging anti-LGBT legislation.

  21. Disaster Stories: When Ham Radio Was the Only Line Out

    979 words, 5 minutes read time.

    In the face of disaster, when power grids fail, cell towers collapse, and the world falls silent, a group of dedicated individuals remains steadfast—amateur radio operators, or “hams.” These men and women, often working quietly behind the scenes, have been the lifeline for countless communities during emergencies. Their stories are not just about radios and frequencies; they’re about courage, community, and the unyielding spirit of service.

    The Genesis of Amateur Radio in Emergency Communications

    The roots of amateur radio’s involvement in emergency communications trace back to the early 20th century. In 1914, the American Radio Relay League (ARRL) was established, marking a significant step in organizing amateur radio operators. By the 1920s and 1930s, hams were actively engaging in disaster response, providing crucial communication links during floods and ice storms in New Mexico and Minnesota.

    The need for organized emergency communication became even more apparent during World War II. In 1942, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) formed the War Emergency Radio Service (WERS) to ensure that amateur radio could be quickly mobilized in times of national crisis. This laid the groundwork for future emergency services.

    The Rise of ARES and RACES

    In 1935, the ARRL introduced the Amateur Radio Emergency Service (ARES), aiming to provide organized communication support during emergencies. This initiative was further strengthened in 1952 with the establishment of the Radio Amateur Civil Emergency Service (RACES), a service authorized by the FCC to assist government agencies during civil emergencies.

    These organizations have been instrumental in numerous disaster responses. For instance, during the 2003 North America blackout, amateur radio operators played a pivotal role in relaying information and coordinating efforts when traditional communication systems were overwhelmed.

    Real-Life Heroes: Ham Radio in Action

    The true measure of amateur radio’s impact is best understood through the stories of those who have experienced its benefits firsthand.

    During Hurricane Katrina in 2005, over a thousand ARES volunteers provided essential communication services. Hancock County, Mississippi, had lost all contact with the outside world, except through ARES operators who served as 911 dispatchers and message relayers.

    Hurricane Michael in 2018 left many areas without power and communication. Amateur radio operators were among the first to establish communication links, coordinating rescue and relief efforts when other systems were down.

    During Hurricane Helene in 2024, in Asheville, North Carolina, ham radio operators played a significant role in keeping residents informed during this deadly tropical storm. They provided updates and coordinated emergency responses when electrical grids and telephone communications were disrupted.

    The Mechanics of Ham Radio in Emergencies

    Amateur radio’s effectiveness in emergencies lies in its unique capabilities. Unlike commercial communication systems that rely on infrastructure vulnerable to damage, ham radios can operate independently. Operators use battery-powered equipment, solar panels, and portable antennas to establish communication links, often without the need for external power sources.

    One of the key tools in emergency communications is the use of repeaters. These devices amplify radio signals, extending the communication range, especially in mountainous or obstructed areas. Additionally, digital modes like Winlink allow for the transmission of emails and messages over long distances, even when traditional internet services are unavailable.

    Training and Preparedness: The Backbone of Emergency Response

    The readiness of amateur radio operators is a result of continuous training and preparation. Events like Field Day, held annually, simulate emergency conditions, allowing operators to practice setting up equipment and establishing communication links without relying on commercial power sources. These exercises ensure that when real disasters strike, operators are prepared to respond swiftly and effectively.

    Organizations such as ARES and RACES provide structured training programs, ensuring that volunteers are equipped with the necessary skills and knowledge to handle various emergency scenarios. Their involvement is crucial in maintaining a state of preparedness within communities.

    The Future of Ham Radio in Disaster Response

    As technology advances, so does the role of amateur radio in emergency communications. The integration of digital modes, satellite communications, and software-defined radios enhances the capabilities of ham operators, allowing for more efficient and reliable communication during disasters.

    Legislative support also plays a vital role in ensuring the continued effectiveness of amateur radio. Initiatives like the Amateur Radio Emergency Preparedness Act aim to prevent homeowner associations from banning amateur radio antennas, ensuring that operators can maintain their equipment and remain ready to assist during emergencies.

    Conclusion: A Call to Action

    The stories of amateur radio operators during disasters are a testament to the power of community, preparedness, and resilience. Their unwavering commitment ensures that when all else fails, communication remains possible.

    For those interested in becoming part of this vital network, obtaining an amateur radio license is the first step. By doing so, you not only gain the skills to operate radio equipment but also become a crucial link in a chain that can make all the difference during emergencies.
