The Ballad of My Cell Phone
Cell service in my area has a story.
A few of my previous articles address the topic of technology in surveillance:
Apparently, there is more. This time, it is my cell phone that can tell a tale.
My cell phone is on for a minute or two a day, when I am checking for messages; otherwise, the battery is out. About two months ago, my ISP (Spectrum, owned by Verizon, purchased from Time Warner) made me an offer: full service (unlimited call and 5GB of data) for $17.50 a month. They wanted me to use their phone, which I refused. Their phone has a removable battery... Their next offer was that I can keep my old phone. As I have a different provider, which they know, I would have to use their SIM card, which indirectly proves that the surveillance/monitoring/control technology is in the SIM card.
The following article is about the currently publicly-available levels of mind control:
I am quite sure that SIM cards in cell phones already have the technology built-in; removing the battery (assuming someone has a phone that still has such a battery) makes no difference anymore. My best guess is that such SIM cards are relatively new.
How far is the technology used in humans?
How far is this tech already in use and how far is it going to be universal or restricted?
My best guess is that the technocrats will be free from it, except for perhaps their benefits, and it will be mandatory in the slave class. As the latter is already partially injected with the tech, I assume, this is the experimental phase, the only way the lethal injections are indeed "experimental." The technocrats, who want to live forever and use it, also expose themselves to the vulnerabilities that are inherent in the technology, so they can liberally start killing each other, when the time comes for them to fight it out for the ultimate power.
Just occurred to me that in phones with the latest processors, proximity sensors can be used for recording data and, perhaps, even replace the camera for a more comprehensive method of imaging.
If anyone knows more about this, please, post it!
Ray, Apple is putting out a phone without a SIM card and many of them can take a virtual SIM as well. So they have probably already raised their game.
With three granddaughters, I've given up on considering it anything but surveillance!
As usual, you are right about most everything.
And Apple screwed up my perfectly good system by not letting you re-locate the "home" to external to the desktop, just links now, under the latest software release.
I didn't think they would screw that up under Monterey 12.6 but as usual they proved me wrong.
