About this episode
David Race Bannon joins Art Bell for an explosive discussion about Broadband over Power Lines (BPL), a technology that threatens to destroy America's emergency communications infrastructure. This program reveals how power companies, backed by the FCC, are pushing a system that could wipe out ham radio, citizens band radio, and critical emergency services communication. Bannon exposes how BPL interference would devastate everything from aircraft navigation and explosive detection systems to police and fire department radios. Art Bell warns this represents a sellout of public safety for corporate greed, as FEMA itself has stated the technology would virtually destroy their emergency communication capabilities. The discussion covers how this nightmare technology operates through electrical outlets in homes and businesses, creating massive radio frequency interference across multiple bands. Ham radio operators and emergency services personnel face an unprecedented threat to systems that have saved countless lives during disasters. This episode serves as an urgent wake-up call about a technology being deployed nationwide without public awareness of its catastrophic implications for emergency preparedness and national security.
