Wow--wull this puts StarLink & StarShield INTO the catty-GORY of Space Weapons--all 'gainst us--and that's why they gotta rewrite the terms again. Benefits WHO? yup, The WHO an' all 've 'em BIG Who's--not the little ones down in WhoVille tho... that's us. Heck fElon even looks like the Grinch! He'll take away, with the help of our gubbamint, EVERYTHING tangible AND our world--our Christmas, our Holidays, our America the Beautiful.... an' turn it inta digital soup with ads "streamin'" 'cross the skies. One quibble I have with these spots bein' "dead zones"--nope, these are Livin' Zones! alive with animules, nature, mountains an' vistas like the ones ya described. An' Sunsets...which Gates-of-Hell is tryin' ta take away from us... I think we need ta expand, not sell off, the Livin' Zones an' allow on 'em creatures 'cept "the Musk!" (I had no idear that much cell-free land existed--that's a good thing!)

Yes, exactly. These "zones" are alive and they want everything dead.

Great article, Karen! Some comments:

* I expected the you'd photoshop more advertisements into the natural photos

* Keep up the detailed info about Starlink and Musk's endeavors

* Thank you!

I live in a "dead zone" - a remote organic farm in temperate rainforest deep in the mountains of the Oregon Coast Range. There's cell service about 40 km away. Friends call me a "mountain man". I like to hike and camp in the wilderness all around, often with my dog. No cell coverage is a terrific plus: I encounter more bears and cougars than humans in such places. For safety I carry a ham radio, with which I am expert: I can thus call for help in an emergency. My brother just recently gifted me with a tiny satellite communicator suitable for sending text messages in an emergency. Thus, my wilderness is still a dead zone, but it's becoming less so ...

Sounds like heaven. My son is looking to buy land and move to that area.

All of Earth will truly be a dead zone, if people don't wake up to the fact that non-ionizing radiation is more dangerous, since it is out of control. This is why I, along with other researchers like Arthur Firstenberg, have started the Global Radiation Emergency Coalition:

This is why we started the Global Radiation Emergency Coalition, to raise awareness that ALL wireless = radiation, and that there is no safe level.

Karen, I love reading about your dad. His writings were a must read for me and some friends back in the day. I really think he started some important conversations that are still going on. Thanks for sharing about him. And thanks for your essays. I found you here at Substack not knowing you were his daughter. Small world.

Thank you. It's been amazing how many people have contacted me about my dad, saying how much he meant in their lives. It's been really inspiring.

Karen Hunt, you mention your father, Dave Hunt. Was he Dave Hunt the writer and evangelist whose Berean Call is on the internet?

Yes, that's my dad. I put a link to The Berean Call under his photo.

Well, I'm happy to know that. I have read a number of his books and really appreciated his work. I also love his Berean Call site. He is with God now.

Yes, he is, and my mom. I have met so many people on here that read my dad's books and tell me how much he meant in their lives. It's really been wonderful.

I'm always waiting for the SUN to destroy our collective arrogance and ignorance! So far the SUN is failing me...

Well, I don’t believe they ever landed on the moon.

I find the whole moon saga very strange. I want to explore it further. If they made it 50 years ago, why is it so difficult now--it should be a piece of cake by this point. I don't doubt they have every intention of trying to get to the moon and beyond. If they can do it remains to be seen. I think there's no doubt rockets are taking off and satellites are orbiting the earth. It's all really interesting to me.

Watch the landing today and tell me what you think!

That was quite a ride! Fathers make all the difference, don't they? In the end I will continue to try to find those "Dead Zones"- I'm a bow hunter and I still can completely get off the grid in designated wilderness areas. Great essay KH.

Wow, a bow hunter. That is so cool! I tried the bow and arrow but apparently, I am right-handed (although I do some things with my left hand), but I use my left eye to site with. I was told I wouldn't be able to aim well. I do with a gun, though, so I don't know, maybe I should have kept at it. Keep those dead zones alive!
