DID THE U.S. NAVY PROVOKE SOMALI PIRATES INTO MURDERING FOUR AMERICANS ABOARD THE YACHT QUEST?
Three of the four Americans murdered aboard the yacht Quest (Davidson 58 Pilot House Sloop) by Somali pirates were Amateur Radio Operators! See, Amateur Radio Relay League (ARRL), Three Yachtsmen Killed by Somali Pirates were Hams, February 22, 2011. As an incidental fact, I am an Extra Class amateur radio operator, Don Hamrick/KI5SS in addition to being a U.S. merchant seaman of 20 years.
U.S. HOUSE RULE 7b(1) NO COSPONSORS FOR PRIVATE BILLS VIOLATES FIRST & NINTH AMENDMENTS
U.S House of Representatives’ Rule 7b(1) states in full:

The name of a cosponsor added after the initial printing of a bill or resolution shall appear in the next printing of the bill or resolution on the written request of the sponsor. Such a request may be submitted to the Speaker at any time until the last committee authorized to consider and report the bill or resolution reports it to the House or is discharged from its consideration.”

Raging Against Censorship Through Budget Cuts: The Impending Demise of the VOA
SOURCES FOR MY COMMENTARY:
Keith Johnson, U.S. Plans to Lower Its ‘Voice’ in China, The Wall Street Journal/Asia, February 17, 2011
Bill Gerts, VOA Radio Broadcasts to China Signing Off, While Beijing Boosts Propaganda, Washington Times, February 15, 2011
Blanquita Cullum, Obama Bows to Chinese Dictators, Washington Times, February 18, 2011 (Obama photo bowing to Chinese President Hu Jintao during the Nuclear Security Summit in April 2010)
And if the plan doesn’t work, the decision to eliminate shortwave broadcasting is nearly irreversible. Once America has released these frequencies, they will be acquired in the free market by those who will make robust use of them. Moreover, once VOA lets go more than half of its Mandarin Service, where will it get broadcasters if there is another Tiananmen Square massacre? When we realize the critical nature of this mistake, there will be nothing we can do – no going back.
The Broadcasting Board of Governors (BBG), which oversees Radio Free Asia (RFA) and Voice of America (VOA), among other broadcasts, is preparing to implement what some inside observers have termed a “strategic disintegration plan” – marking America’s exit as a bona fide force in international broadcasting. Troubling components of the plan, as stated in the fiscal 2012 budget submission, include eliminating language programming such as Mandarin and Cantonese and cutting back dramatically on critical modes of broadcasting by both hours and frequencies.
Public access to information from worldwide sources empowers citizens of all nations to make informed decisions and exposes dictators for what they are – power-hungry, illegitimate and increasingly scared of their own people’s desire to have a say in their government. Now is the time to increase worldwide access to information – especially when a void is created by other broadcasters’ budget-driven cutbacks. This is not the time to pull the plug.
