FCC FRAUD      FCC CABAL     FCC LYING

AS WILDFIRES RAGE,  CABAL AT FCC MAKES UP ITS OWN RULES.  
REAL FCC RULES ARE IGNORED AND EXISTENCE DENIED.  9/17/2026

2026: Laura Smith FCC Enforcer - is destroying the existing Emergency Radio Communications Plan for Shingletown, CA (High wildfire risk) by her lies and deceptions.

EXHIBIT AA  Village 2026 Fire (HERE): Only 1 ham available and needed assistance. 2 Non Hams briefly used pursuant to FCC regulation and SER Emergency Communication Protocol - Non Hams (Exhibit E). THIS IS THE FIRE WHICH SMITH FCC CLAIMS VIOLATED HER PERSONAL MADE UP FAKE RULES. SMITH DID NOT USE ACTUAL FCC RULES.

With only a few local Hams dedicated to community fire safety, the use of SELECT Non Hams as part of the Emergency Team for response to a life threatening emergency (e.g., wildfire, evacuations, etc...) is critical for the safety of life in our High Fire Risk area. The Plan follows the ACTUAL FCC RULES!  However,  FCC Smith has made up her own personal fake rules which do not actually exist ! These fake rules will prevent vital life saving information from being transmitted by SELECT non Hams under threat of FCC fines and enforcement action. 

The stress of this situation is not acceptable. If a wildfire hits Shingletown,  we are faced with the FCC Smith Guillotine threat and illegal actions (fines, forfeiture, loss of license) or the decision to save life.  This is Bull Shit!  We need some actual Leaders to immediately reign in these deadly forces at the FCC. We are still in Fire Season!

The chilling effect of FCC Smith's illegal and immoral dictates upon emergency communications are a direct threat to the Safety of all American Communities who are facing Wildfires, threat of Wildfires, Dry Lightening Strikes, Flooding, and other disasters which are taking place right now! How many people have or will die as a result of the lies and deceit of Smith FCC? 

Why is a government agency (FCC / Smith)  allowed to run rougue, make up fake "rules", and ignore the actual regulations? This is compounded by the fact that such is being done while active life threatening emergencies (Wildfires, Floods, etc...) and deaths are taking place as you read this (August, September, 2026).  Here are the actual rules (here). And here are some examples of Hams not following Smith's made up fake rules in order to save life. Identities not provided. They used common sense (here). Hams need to get educated and grow a pair. In the meantime, communities are under threat by wildfires and floods, etc...,  while being simultaneously attacked and threatened by a rougue FCC and its storm troopers.

It is demanded that Government Officials immediately STOP these illegal immoral actions of the FCC. The Smith FCC unlawful dictates are null and void but damage is continuing to be inflicted by her illegal threats. Smith FCC is out of control and it appears that government officials and elected representatives don't actually give a damn about American Citizens. 

Do any Government Officials have any moral compass? 

PUBLIC SAFETY AND LIVES AT RISK.

 This is not legal advice. Purpose is to bring to attention FCC Abuse.

           Does YOUR Neighborhood have an Emergency Radio Plan? 

Wildfires? Earthquakes? Evacuations? ... The FCC is working against you!

Please read this page, then go back and click on the linked documentation.

TAKE ACTION NOW BY CONTACTING YOUR FEDERAL AND STATE REPRESENTATIVES. ALSO CONTACT THOSE RUNNING FOR OFFICE.

 DEMAND IMMEDIATE ACTION. IF THOSE IN OFFICE AND THOSE RUNNING FOR OFFICE WANT YOUR VOTE THEY NEED TO PROTECT "WE THE PEOPLE" FROM GOVERNMENT ABUSE.

THESE MATTERS IMPACT ALL HAM RADIO EMERGENCY COMMUNICATION PLANS AND NON HAM RADIO EMERGENCY COMMUNICATION PLANS IN THE UNITED STATES.     

KEY ONE PAGE SUMMARY  (HERE) updated 9/3/2026. Please read this one page summary then read the full letter below.

CRITICAL:

“Can a non-ham use a ham frequency in order to save human life in an emergency.”

For illustration:  

“assume a Ham and his wife are driving and have an auto accident.  The Ham operator (husband) dies on impact.  The wife is going to bleed to death without immediate medical attention, but she is not a licensed Ham operator.  The Ham radio is working and she can reach it. The cell phone has no reception.  Issue: Can the wife use the Ham radio to call for help?

             The answer is either: Yes, or No.”

FCC LAURA SMITH STATES: “there is no situation where the amateur rules would authorize unlicensed use.” “…an unlicensed individual may not operate an amateur radio under any circumstances. If they do so, they are in violation of the Communications Act and the Commission’s rules and subject to a possible enforcement action”. 

FCC (Laura Smith) HAS SENTENCED THE WIFE TO DEATH.

Smith FCC knows she is telling a lie.   

  Urgent

LETTER DATED  August  28, 2026 

                         (HERE) 

(EXHIBITS ARE BELOW)

PROOF LAURA SMITH-FCC IS LYING. FCC LEGAL COUNSEL SAID YES, THE NON HAM WIFE IN THE AUTO ACCIDENT CAN USE THE HAM RADIO (See Exhibit I, below). SMITH FCC IS LYING ABOUT THE ACTUAL RULES. SMITH IS INVENTING HER OWN RULES. YOUR NON HAM FAMILY MEMBER AND NEIGHBORS MAY BE NEXT. MAYBE EVEN YOU AS A HAM WILL SEE THE LIGHT WHEN THE ONLY PERSON WHO HEARD YOUR EMERGENCY CALL FOR HELP IS A NON HAM MONITORING.

MORE EXAMPLES OF NON HAMS USING HAM RADIO AS ALLOWED BY FCC. MORE PROOF THAT SMITH FCC IS LYING.

 1. Grandpa (Ham) has his grandchild (NOT a Ham) on his lap. The Grandchild (NON Ham)  talks on Grandpa's Ham Radio (and is talking on the Ham Repeater / control operator at Control Point). The NON Ham Grandchild is allowed to talk on the Ham Repeater (NON EMERGENCY).

 2.  A Ham Places a telephone call from his radio (using the Ham Repeater) and dials 911.  The 911 operator is NOT a Ham. The Repeater is set up for Autopatch (which in this case links the Ham Repeater to the telephone lines).  The 911 operator, although not a Ham, is allowed to talk on the Ham Repeater (IT IS AN EMERGENCY, BUT THE 911 OPERATOR  IS NOT A HAM).

 3.  A Ham orders a PIZZA using his ham radio and places the call through the Ham Repeater to order that Pizza. The Repeater is set up for Autopatch (which in this case links the Ham Repeater to the telephone lines).The Pizza Shop employee is NOT a Ham., but is allowed to talk on the Ham Repeater (NON EMERGENCY).  

In each of the above cases a  NON HAM is using the Ham Repeater for communicating. Each is legal.

WHY IS LAURA SMITH (FCC LYING)  AND ORDERING THAT NON HAMS CAN NEVER USE THAT VERY SAME HAM REPEATER  TO SAVE LIFE (E.G., WILDFIRES, FLOODS, EARTHQUAKES, ETC... )? THAT IS  EVEN WHEN THE CONTROL OPERATOR OF THE REPEATER IS AT THE CONTROL POINT.

     EXHIBIT E  (HERE)

Emergency Communication Protocol - Non Hams (12/17/2020). FCC and FCC Legal Counsel has had in their possession for over 5 years and NEVER advised such was in error.

Exhibit E: SER- Emergency Communication Protocol - Non HamsThis document was provided to the FCC AND ITS LEGAL COUNSEL OVER 5 YEARS AGO. NEITHER THE FCC NOR ITS LEGAL COUNSEL HAS EVER ADVISED THAT THIS SER POLICY WAS IN ERROR! THIS EXACT SAME SER POLICY WAS USED DURING THE VILLAGE 2026 FIRE (Exhibit AA).  These communications ultimately resulted in FCC Legal Counsel Response (see Exhibit I).
     EXHIBIT F  (HERE)
     EXHIBIT G  (HERE) Exhibit G FAX documenting attempts by Zeliff to have FCC assist in stopping the malicious and continuing interference on the Shingletown Emergency Radio Plan Ham Repeater.  Ms. Laura Smith (FCC) stated the FCC wasn't going to assist with some "remote repeater". Documents the FCC's wrongful refusal to provide any assistance in enforcing regulations governing the malicious interference of a Ham Repeater used primarily for emergency communications (wild fire defense)...
     EXHIBIT H  (HERE) Exhibit H U.S. Congressman "subjected to false statements, deceptions, being ignored, evasive tactics and lies by multiple FCC Officials" in seeking answer to ... question - "Can a non-ham use a ham frequency in order to save human life in an emergency..."
     

     EXHIBIT I   (HERE

   FCC LEGAL COUNSEL  OPINION:

YES, IN EMERGENCY

UNLICENSED CAN

USE HAM RADIO TO 

SAVE LIFE. 

 

Exhibit I documents FCC Legal Counsel Response of 5 years ago showing that a non – licensed person can use Ham Radio in an emergency involving safety of life. 

The response also illuminates that the standard of reasonableness is to be used in evaluating the use of Ham Radio taking into account the circumstances. Further, a case by case evaluation is made of the circumstances; and a fact specific determination is made as to the existence of an emergency. Such further confirmed that the prior statements made by various persons at the FCC advising that “there is no provisions in the Rules that would allow unlicensed use in the amateur bands”, were erroneous and not correct.

     EXHIBIT J   (HERE) Exhibit J Zeliff FAX / letter  (July 27, 2021) again documenting the FCC continuing to ignore the law, its own regulations and putting in immediate danger the life and safety of all Americans facing disaster, whether by wildfire, floods, or other type of situations .... FCC obfuscation and deceit ...lying ...  Statute and Regulations are again set forth which the FCC continues to falsely deny the existence of and even refused to read during telephone communication.
     EXHIBIT K  (HERE) Exhibit K Congressman's staff working on issue of  a Non Ham using a Ham frequency in order to save life. Congressman's Staff comment about FCC Officials   "... I'm NOT giving up. These guys are just impossible...".
     EXHIBIT L  (HERE)  FCC LIED, AND DENIED THE EXISTENCE OF THEIR OWN RULES. THEY REFUSED TO EVEN READ THEM OVER THE PHONE!

ACTUAL FCC RULES ARE QUOTED.

  This letter (February 2021) provides 3 pages of ACTUAL FCC Rules and Ham testing materials regarding the use of  HAM and Other Radio Services (e.g., Murs) for Emergency Communications. These Regulations and training materials for Hams CLEARLY SHOW THAT NON HAMS CAN USE HAM EQUIPMENT DURING AN EMERGENCY TO SAVE LIFE! (SEE PAGES 4, 5, 6) FOR THE ACTUAL FCC RULES.

REMEMBER - A "STATION" REFERS TO THE RADIO EQUIPMENT (RADIO, ANTENNA, ...).

     EXHIBIT M  (HERE)
     EXHIBIT N  (HERE) Exhibit N. Removal of approximately 70 Ham repeaters from mountain top Cal Fire vaults in California stopped. Resolution: "... no rent charges.  Ham radio is to be part of, wrapped into, the larger CAL FIRE communications network. ..."
     EXHIBIT O  (HERE) Exhibit O Zeliff (K6PDS) opposition to California's actions to remove  approximately 70 Ham repeaters from mountain top Cal Fire vaults in all of California.

Impact of SMITH FCC UNLAWFUL DICTATE ON REPEATER CONTROL OPERATOR (LETTER AT PAGE 20)

"Situation F. A HAM radios into a Repeater for a 911 relay for his wife who has fallen on
chain saw with severe lacerations, and is bleeding out. The only person who hears the call is a
NON HAM who is monitoring the repeater. No location yet given.
Does the Non Ham handle the traffic or ignore ?


SMITH FCC unlawful dictate: since the Non Ham doesn’t have an FCC call
sign THE NON HAM CAN’T USE THE REPEATER. "

CONTROL OPERATOR PER SMITH FCC MUST TURN OFF THE REPEATER.

SMITH FCC IS MANDATING THAT THE CONTROL OPERATOR COMMIT A CRIME (MISDEMEANOR OR FELONY). SEE CALIFORNIA PENAL CODE PC 653.t

Such is a Violation of  FCC Rules

June is the Month of the Sacred Heart.

Saint Michael the Archangel,
defend us in battle.
Be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil.
May God rebuke him, we humbly pray;
and do Thou, O Prince of the Heavenly Host -
by the Divine Power of God -cast into hell, satan and all the evil spirits,
who roam throughout the world seeking the ruin of souls. Amen.
