US Senators Are Being Issued Satellite Phones in Preparation for a ‘Disruptive Event’

WJ

Members of the U.S. Senate were recently offered satellite phones that will allow them to communicate in the case of a “man-made” or natural disaster, according to a report.

Citing numerous people familiar with the matter, CBS News reported all 100 senators were recently offered the phones.

More than 50 took Senate Sergeant at Arms Karen Gibson up on the offer.

The network reported Gibson said the phones were offered last month as a means “to ensure a redundant and secure means of communication during a disruptive event.”

Gibson reportedly demonstrated the phones. read more

  1. 30 tons of ANF missing from a train car?

    Senate issued Satphones?

    Me thinks a major false flag is coming to a congress near you.

    No doubt the blue polo, red hat, khaki brigade is standing by to justify a national MAGA crackdown.

  2. “following the January 2021 incursion at the U.S. Capitol.”

    There it is. Of course, the event that almost ended our government entirely without using a single bit of our 2A rights.

    Those pesky rednecks will climb cell towers and cut all communication with a simple wire cutter and then what? Members of senate can’t live-TikTok their fear as they cower under some desk in another building surrounded by armed security detail. The horror!

  3. Gee Wally, what if a solar flare takes out our communication satellites? Don’t those satellite phones have electronic parts? I worry about the youngsters not having their faces in their phone. There’s going to be hell to pay. Those are the dangerous ones, what will they do?

  4. Fetterman is like 6 midgets in a wrinkly hoodie. Think of the fuel requirements to get Baby Huey into orbit.

    No sir, for my tax dollars, I want midget astronauts. Midginauts. 3 feet of pure midget power. They have those giant adult sized butts for absorbing gforces, they weigh 8 pounds and in a pinch, I’d trust a midget a lot more than a monkey with a billion dollar rocket ship.

    Hell, we could scale down the whole program to Holly Hobby size and save trillions.

  5. @ecp: Those pesky rednecks will climb cell towers and cut all communication with a simple wire cutter
    —————————-
    The towers around here (5G) have small buildings next to the tower. It would all happen there in that small building. Cutting wires I would think would be a deadly move. There is no plan B that I know of.

  6. For ages the only jobs available to midgets were being a jockey or possibly being a high powered commodities broker. I’m offering them some dignity. Who wouldn’t want to grow up to be an astronaut? Now, even if you never do, you can still be one. Plus… I’m pretty sure midgets can bounce. It may come in handy.

    But yeah, I would totally drive one of those midget sized Power Wheels buggies on the moon.

  7. What’s the most effective way to cut/jam SatPhone communications?

  8. Why satellite phone? Wouldn’t a fake TV camera be cheaper and work just as well? I’m betting Fetterman and Whinestein wouldn’t be the only Senators to not notice the camera was fake.

  9. We went from sat phones to midginauts because both are examples of FedGov silliness.

    Also, out brave midginaut space explorers will be able to reach into those tiny, hard to get at places on satellites that need repair.
