Ronan Farrow: Who Were the Rioters on Jan. 6th?


“The algorithms built into Facebook are designed so that if you click extremist misinformation, it's going to send more of that your way,” says Ronan Farrow of the social media platform’s role in the Capitol insurrection.

What should the new administration’s priorities be to make PNT more resilient?

We asked Brad Parkinson, the “Father of GPS” and a GPS World Editorial Advisory Board member, what the new U.S. administration’s priorities should be to make positioning, navigation and timing (PNT) more resilient. For more answers from board members, see below.

Protect the Spectrum. Reverse FCC authorization for relatively high-powered Ligado transmitters that have been proven to degrade GPS and other GNSS operation for thousands of PNT users. All U.S. government departments and major user groups affected have pleaded with the FCC to reverse this terrible decision. There is little benefit from it to the American public.

Protect the rapidly evaporating and self-proclaimed Gold Standard of GPS. The GPS satellite designs are showing their age. They need to go to multiple launch (three at a time) and revert to simpler designs without the spot-beams and other weighty add-ons that greatly increase complexity and cost. The Chinese have added to BeiDou (a) inter-satellite precision ranging and wide-band communications, (b) geosynchronous satellites, probably with good spot-beam acquisition aids, and (c) a WAAS-like correction directly on the satellites, which may have accuracies down to real-time kinematic (RTK, perhaps a few centimeters). Also, they claim their basic accuracies to be better than GPS (it might be true!) — I think they already have operational retro-reflectors.

Allow and encourage export of the basic and quickest fix to jamming and spoofing for high-value PNT users. More than 40 years ago, we demonstrated, in hardware, a high anti-jamming receiver that could fly directly over a 10 kW GPS jammer and not be affected. We know that high-gain, digital beam-steering antennas will create close to immunity, but our manufacturers will not move this way because we cannot sell or use them on the international market. These devices, combined with inexpensive inertial components and the newer signals, would make PNT virtually immune to current threats of interference — both jamming and spoofing.

No. Mindless is you cunts pretending that when you do the exact same shit you call other people out doing it's just fine.

In four years I haven't yet even figured out how to dumb down my speech patterns to even hold a conversation with somebody as stupid as you are.

While the events unfolding on Capitol Hill look and sound so much like a criminal trial, with a prosecution and defense lawyers and senators vowing as jurors to "do impartial justice," what's happening is not about punishing the 45th president.

If Trump is convicted of committing high crimes and misdemeanors for inciting an insurrectional sacking of the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6 — as he should be — the former president won't face jail. He won't receive a fine. His life and liberty will in no way suffer.

That was never what the Founding Fathers intended when they crafted an impeachment clause 234 years ago. What mattered was protecting their radical experiment in a constitutional republic from a power-abusing president. Conviction at an impeachment trial was their vaccine for the new democracy.

It would immunize the republic — the Constitution, really — against future harm from what James Madison called the "perfidy of the chief Magistrate."

Trump's perfidy, laid out through graphic video in the Senate chamber, was his ability as president to promote the lie of a stolen election. It was his malignant skill in using that lie to provoke thousands of violent followers into storming Capitol Hill to disrupt Congress' constitutional duty to count final voting results.

In fact, the vote was momentarily disrupted. The Capitol was overrun for the first time since a British invasion in 1814. Five people died, including a police officer trying to defend the Capitol and the members of Congress inside, and at least 138 officers were injured battling the mob. "We have been flanked, and we've lost the line!" one officer exclaimed over a police radio as the mob surged.

One of the most startling revelations of the trial was that Trump nearly got his vice president killed. Mike Pence had refused Trump's demand that he throw out valid electoral votes while presiding over the congressional count. After it was clear rioters had breached the Capitol, something Trump could plainly see on television, he tweeted that "Pence didn’t have the courage to do what should have been done to protect our Country and our Constitution." The words were read aloud by rioters, who chanted, "Hang Mike Pence," as they hunted him through the halls. Two minutes later, according to a trial video, the vice president and his family were rushed to safety — with rioters just dozens of steps behind.

How would the Constitution deal with this kind of incitement of insurrection? The remedy is not about punishing Trump — as hideous as his actions may be — but about protecting us all from his brand of malign behavior: Trump would never again be allowed to hold public office. Or to seek it, for that matter. Because there's hazard should Trump even attempt another run for the presidency and fail again claiming fraud. It risks another round of violence by extremist followers.

As a prosecution manager, Rep. Ted Lieu of California, argued Thursday: "I'm not afraid of Donald Trump running again in four years. I'm afraid he's going to run again and lose."

Those senators who acquit in the hope that, with time, all of this bad business will pass away and a post-Trump Republican Party will reemerge, must remember one thing. Trump has never abandoned the Big Lie. Despite multiple investigations, audits, recounts, vote certifications and judicial findings that the 2020 presidential election was free and fair, he clings to this lie because of the seductive and corrosive power it gives him over those willing to believe it.

It's why conviction and banishment from ever holding public office, as the Constitution prescribes, is the only way forward for the Senate.

Way to fall for shit editing. Once again, you believe what you want to believe, not facts.
