The internet of things is getting very close now! In the UK corporations will soon have access to everyone's medical records, to help with vax passport and social credit scoring enforcement. Hopefully the fact many members of the public are well armed, will make it far more difficult for your government to make USA a lot more like China?

I don't have any of the devices but realized years ago if I have a cellphone I have no privacy. My wife and I were talking one night in bed about raccoon removal. The next day the ads on my phone were for exactly that. No real sense fighting it unless you want to go back to living as we did in the early 70s. Darn good thought.

I get the feeling that anyone who uses a computor is also a component part of the matrix? We are getting closer and closer to the time where pretty much everyone and everything will be very strictly controlled, much like in China now.

Thanks for the warning!

It's an opt-OUT option, automatically IN.

I'm a bit concerned that society has become so electronic record dependent that should there ever be an event that interrupts and fries the electronics that there will be no 'non-electronic' information backup to restore any records. Banking, medical, investments, etc., etc. will be gone. One could say that there are several layers of backup....however, if they too are electronic format all of it would be lost as well.

I've made it a point not to buy any "smart" devices; I have the ability to turn my thermostat up or down; my neighbor has a Ring doorbell, if I ever need footage; Alexa (which I don't have) gives me the heebie-geebies; I don't like someone listening in on me. I bought an i-pad (google was the producer) a number of years ago; google wanted me to upgrade the i-pad; I only used it to read pdf e-books and to show my portfolio. Eventually google deleted my pdf reader, then deleted my e-books and photos in my porfolio. I did not "own" the i-pad I paid money for, I was only licensing it. Today I have a windows laptop; I use duckduckgo for web searches. I have an Amazon account but that's only because someone gave me an amazon gift card and I had to set up and account to redeem/use it.

In any event, this should be opt-in rather than opt-out. They should not be able to do it to you unless they have explicit permission.

Here in the UK we can currently opt out of our medical records being handed over to corporations! Only problem with that is, very few people know of the role being played by corporations in enforcing vax passport and social credit scoring legislation, and the government isnt shouting this from the rooftops!

Sadly before very much longer we will be facing penalties for not being "Smart" enabled, and I think that will mean before long most people will be becoming part of the grid. There is an awful lot of conspiracy nonsense being put out about 5G for instance, which means anyone who questions its role as a very important part of the control network, can be easily dismissed as a tin hat wearing loon..............

A VERY large EMP will do that!

I never actually gave that much thought but you are correct. If the magnetic poles flip of we get a solar flare such as in the late 1800s most if not all electronic devices will be toast. May be to a person like myselfs advantage. Lol

If you have a cellphone you are in way deeper than you may believe.

We have the HJIPPA (medical privacy laws) that prevent ANYONE gaining access to your medical records withoput your written permission. Google Hippa Form for a copy

Why will the change in the earth's magnetic field toast electronics?
If you turn your electronic device upside-down or take it to the south pole it doesn't "toast", does it?

Solar flares are a different radiation.
Put a bar magnet near an electronic device and rotate the bar magnet - won't hurt the electronic device.

Because when the magnetic field changes the fluctuating field will fry things. Take that bar magnet and put it on your hdd. Make sure there is nothing important on it. Hard drives are magnetic storage devices. Take the magnet and apply it to your monitor. Not sure about SSD. Would assume no effect. Temporary affect on your monitor. Permeant on hdd. Also a lot of fun with any older tube type tvs. Lol.
