Default Sounds of Silence

Lyrics to the pop song ‘The Sound of Silence’
By Paul Kane (aka Paul Simon), 1963

Hello, darkness, my old friend
I’ve come to talk with you again
Because a vision softly creeping
Left its seeds while I was sleeping
And the vision that was planted in my brain
Still remains within the Sound of Silence.
In restless dreams I walked alone
Narrow streets of cobblestone
Beneath the halo of a street lamp
I turned my collar to the cold and damp
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light
That split the night and touched the Sound of Silence.
And in the naked light I saw
Ten thousand people, maybe more
People talking without speaking
People hearing without listening
People writing songs that voices never share…
And no one dare disturb the Sound of Silence.
“Fools,” said I, “you do not know
Silence like a cancer grows.”
“Hear my words that I might teach you,
Take my arms that I might reach you.”
But my words like silent raindrops fell,
And echoed in the wells of silence.
And the people bowed and prayed
To the neon god they made.
And the sign flashed out its warning
In the words that it was forming.
And the signs said: “The words of the prophets
Are written on the subway walls
And tenement halls,
And whisper’d in the Sound of Silence.”

Paul's family was in the military-industrialist complex in the early 50's and 60's. Sound of Silence, mind control, and government subsidies for upgrading 200,000,000 television sets to digital. Is there a connection?

Thumbs up Fantastic info - thanks and question

I will definately take the time to watch those videos.

Question - why do you suppose the Congress is postponing the implementation of digital TV at this moment in time (of course the real question is why are they involved in this in the first place...)

I am expecting the digital TV to play a major role in the coming spiritual deception (i.e. Maitreya's TV appearance and mind control) and this technology needs to be in place for that, which I am thinking is imminent.

Any thoughts ?

Default L.A. ministers asked to spread the word about digital tv

Federal regulators shepherding the U.S. digital television transition
visited Los Angeles on Monday and asked for divine assistance.

Broadcasters turn off their analog signals in just over four months, and
Federal Communications Commission staffers can't make sure that people buy and set up the converter boxes they'll need for their older TV sets that are hooked up to antennas. Who can? Ministers.

"We need people to take up leadership in their community and make sure
nobody gets left out in the switch," FCC Commissioner Jonathan S. Adelstein said during a public forum at the Mount Moriah Baptist Church in South Los Angeles. "Churches already have the infrastructure in place to do that."

Standing at the church pulpit, Adelstein asked the Baptist Ministries
Conference of Los Angeles, nearly 50 African American preachers who meet once a month, to include information on the June 12 digital TV switch in their sermons.L.A. County has the largest number of over-the-air
viewers in the country, Adelstein said, and those viewers are concentrated in the minority and elderly communities.

"It's sort of an ad-hoc approach to handling this situation, but the
next four months will fly by and we need to be ready," he said.
Adelstein and five local FCC field officers handed out applications
for $40 coupons for digital-to-analog converter boxes.

They also dispensed a few pieces of advice: There isn't much
difference between a $40 converter box and a $70 model; and cable
and satellite TV customers don't need one at all.

Adelstein and the field officers spent their morning at a senior
center in West Covina, where they explained the upcoming switch and
showed how to connect a converter box to a TV.

After the midday stop at the church, the group headed to Cal State L.A.
to reach out to the Latino community.

The transition, originally scheduled for Feb. 17, was delayed last
week by Congress until June 12.

FCC field officers are planning more meetings in schools, churches and
neighborhood centers before the switch, Adelstein said. The Monday meeting at Mount Moriah was organized by the Leadership Conference on Civil Rights.

Woodie Ramsey, a deacon at Southern Missionary Baptist Church of South East Los Angeles, said the ministers were prepared to spread the word.

"It's incumbent upon each church to take care of the needs of its
ministry, and this is just one more need for our people," he said.
"We'll do our part."
