SOS Mike Pompeo gave a speech on Monday at Voice of America. Pompeo spoke about a lot of things, but specifically he mentioned that it’s a worldwide broadcast station and is translated live into 64 languages. I thought that was a little overkill for a kind of obscure (at least to me) outlet. But after seeing some posts that since the operation is a global one, that the whole world has to know. I theorize that VOA will be the outlet that broadcasts everything to the world via some sort of global EBS typically used for nuclear situations.

“I hadn’t even heard of Voice of America...”
I can remember, as a kid, watching broadcast TV (watching the test pattern in the morning and waiting for cartoons to start. I’d always see PSAs for something called “Radio-Free Europe” which I think was sponsored by VOA. They publicized a he fact that they broadcast to behind the iron curtain. I remember, in particular, the one with the disc jockey speaking in German and queuing up the Drifters’ “On Broadway”.....”And I won’t quit ‘til I’m star on Broadway”
