Defeating HDTV converter box mind control.

To defeat the new HDTV digital converter box you essentially need to create an RF shield around it. How do I know? Well, I have an associate’s degree in electronics and 16 years of experience in the field of electronics manufacturing. If an electrical or electronics engineer tells you I got something wrong in all of this, listen to them because I know what I’m talking about but they know it better.

So, back to that RF shield. More precisely we’ll be talking about building an extremely simple Faraday cage around your HDTV converter box here. This is a fancy way of saying a grounded metal box around the converter box. The more conductive the metal is the better so copper would be great but thin sheet steal would work fine as well. Aluminum would not be good but better than nothing. A plastic box with a ferrous coating would work as well with no need for grounding but this is a bit on the prohibitively expensive side for many. Ferrous = some kind of ferrite (a type of iron that absorbs magnetic field energy).

So, the grounded metal box acts like a radio antenna turning the magnetic field that is being generated to an electrical energy that is harmlessly shunted (channeled) to ground via the ground wire effectively killing it. So the box has to be connected by a wire to that third prong hole on an outlet. This is Earth ground. In a home your copper plumbing pipe makes an excellent Earth ground as well.

I haven't seen one of the new converter boxes personally but I assume there is an infrared receiver window on it for the remote. You'd have to leave a hole in the box for the remote control to operate as well as a hole to run the cabling through it but there won't be enough signal leaking out of such holes to do any damage.

In the field, electronics can be made undetectable by military detection equipment (at least 80% of it) in this way as well. Just drive a 2 or 3 foot chunk of copper plumber’s pipe, or a copper rod into the literal ground and solder your ground wire to that for your Earth ground. This technique won't work for a broadcasting CB or shortwave radios of course but you'd be defeating the whole point of the device anyway. My opinion is listen, never broadcast except in an emergency and go OLD school using runners/couriers as a pony express of sorts. If you live in an area under control of friendly forces you can relax a bit but radio silence is always prudent when unnecessary.

This advice for masking “in the field” electronics is only relevant when in a rural area or truly out in “the sticks” where a radio signal of any kind is a distinct beacon. In the city or even a suburban area a piece of electronics equipment is already somewhat masked from detection by virtue of being “lost in the crowd.” A piece of electronics equipment powered and operating in the middle of a forest, however, is like painting a bull’s eye on your forehead.

Comment by Marklar on March 4, 2009 at 1:11pm: Okay, maybe so - like I said I've never cracked one open or even seen one myself. I'll take your word for it. It never really concerned me much since I will never need one. I'll edit the story and retract that last bit.

I was asked a specific question by someone here on how one might defeat the type of mind control described in my previous blog post on such. I don't claim that the information in that article is accurate but interesting and more than possible technically. When my reply became long winded I decided to write it up as an article.

If true the circuitry for that would be nothing you would recognize like you would with a camera lens. In fact it would take an engineer or a very good technician to reverse engineer the thing or examining a schematic of the circuitry inside to determine whether it is indeed set up to be used for such purposes and as I've said I've never actually seen or touched one.

Whether true or false the advice on how to defeat such things remains valid and useful in more situations than one as can be seen in my description as to using the same technique for masking the magnetic output of electronics in a rural area.

KLC - personally I haven't paid for cable in over ten years. Currently it's available to me anyway and I watch less than 6 hours worth a week - Mostly stand-up comics and Battlestar Galactica and I very much doubt if this can turn my brain to mush or even influence me in a negative way.

I really think it is okay to watch a little TV now and then. Just don't over do it and avoid the retarded MSM news broadcasts. If they couldn't fool me with their mind control conditioning in the public school system when I was seven I doubt very much they can influence me much at all through an entertainment show taken in once a week or the stand up routine of a comic. Some of us really are a little less susceptible to such things if not immune and everyone is free to make their own choices in regard to the possible dangers.
