Stealth Communications for the Future

I just started The Split, by Schlichter - it seems to be coming out at a good time for the country, although lousy for me personally. I'm in the midst of buying a new house, and all the other detritus of life are also converging on my time.
But, first things first - and, getting my Kelly Turnbull time in is paramount.
I wanted to get back to a favorite subject for me - comms after a shutdown, and how you can avoid being in the dark.
I assume that everyone reading this finally understands the extent to which the Left has subsumed the embedded communications structure in the USA:
- The Official Media - Their message is directed by the controlling administrative structure, which is heavily Leftist. Even the desire to make a profit is subordinate to the Woke message.
- TV, Cable, and FM stations - The are funded by advertising, but the companies that advertise have been brought into the Leftist orbit, or threatened with boycotts, smearing their reputation, and/or tying up their ability to function with attacks by government functionaries.
- Telephone/mobile phone structure - It just takes a switch to shut them down. Individual users can be silenced even more easily - they haven't done so, so far, but the capability is there. Expect that a first strike will be on the services that can easily be identified with a specific user. The second strike will be on the 'throwaway' phones. Yes, the government/Deep State have been tracking their use (that's what the metadata searches were for), and they are just waiting until the time is right to use the evidence gathered for prosecution, and the tracking ability for identifying the location of the perps. Oh, not REAL perps - no thugs will be harmed in this sweep - but the Political Perps (PP).
So, what's the answer?
Smoke signals?
No. The highly mobile communication systems of amateur radio.
Now, many have avoided joining up with the official ham radio community - haven't taken advantage of the many resources of the ARRL, nor, for that matter, even gotten licensed.
In going stealth, you are missing some of the benefits from association with experienced hams, including the opportunities to learn from people who have practical experience with the craft.
There are a LOT of us with licenses - according to ARRL, about 700,000. And, that's a substantial part of the 3 million worldwide. Additionally, there are many who use some variant - CBs, GMRS, and FRS. Not all those who used radio technology in the military, or in the various emergency services, are licensed.
Your choice. What you might gain in staying under the radar, you probably lose in working with other hams to improve your understanding and practices.
Totally separate from this topic is my Personal Peeve of the Day - the baseball team, The Cleveland Indians, is no more.
They are now The Cleveland Guardians. I'm not that excited about it, and will DEFINITELY not burn my voluminous Indians gear. But, I won't be racing out to buy the stuff with the new logo.
