I doubt seriously that anyone "down here" with any antenna, could grab
a signal from a microwave link that is pointed *away* from terra firma.
Si, I agree with you. It had to be the downlink that got grabbed.
I think it may even have been a captured rebroadcast of a playback of a
drone tape. So I have doubts that they actually grabbed one of our
streams at all. They are too goddamned dumb.
They cannot even control themselves when they are around women that
have more than their eyes available for viewing.
They should all die in a lake of pig's blood. In fact, they should be
chased into said lake by a swine stampede.
Oh, the horror!
