    From roman@700:100/92 to All on Thursday, May 02, 2024 13:56:06
    What about friends? These days I am full of awareness that I did not spend the two years from 2021 to 2023 in vain. These days, when a British court accepted a lawsuit against Astra Zeneca, when the premier of Alberta apologizes for bullying unvaccinated citizens. I say thank you.
    Thanks to everyone who has read and continues to read my digest. Thanks to those who found the strength to go against propaganda and not be vaccinated with genetic weapons.
    You survived thanks to your faith in the counterculture, you will not get sick from the diseases that are now affecting millions of vaccinated people around the world. I'm glad that I was able to thwart the plans for the great reset, at least in a single part of the global network. I'm glad that someone will live happily ever after thanks to my work.
    Unlike other alternative conspiracy journalists, I do not want to mock people who believed WEF propaganda and took poisonous vaccines. You will have to fight for your life for many years with the side effects of these toxic substances. I can only sympathize with you all. And I will repeat again. Today's conspiracy theories are tomorrow's news. Take care of yourself and don't listen to WEF and Co. No one will bring back the dead. But justice began its work to bring the perpetrators to justice.
    We will see many judicial revelations of great vaccinators in the near future. Thanks for everyone!

    I think vaccinated people need to have a blood test at least once a month. For those seriously injured, file joints class actions, as the British and others do. Those who did not get vaccinated and fought for the safety of people against vaccines, need for thanks each other for the honest work done. I am very happy that I was part of a community of caring people who saved many lives. Thanks again to everyone who stuck with the counterculture and didn't believe the WEF bullshit. I hope they are not planning a new great reset in the near future.

    Thank you. It was a challenging period, but I stood my ground. I saw past the lies, the deceit, and now many of my friends and family are dying.

    My dad passed away a few months after the shot. My mom and childhood friend both passed away due to "covid complications." One of my high school friends
    recently passed away due to "cancer" (turbo cancer). As a 47 year old, I feel great, seldom get sick, and not once did I ever get covid even though I work at retail and deal with 100's of people every day.

    Vaccinated employees and coworkers get sick quite often. Anyways glad I stood my ground for myself and my child I did my part to (in a small way) ruin this "New Reset."

    I know six people who died after vaccination within a month. Two died within 24 hours after the injection. No one was punished for this. No one was punished for forced vaccination with experimental genetic drugs. But it looks like everything is just beginning for them. The judicial system began its work. When I hear about vaccine deaths, I feel bad that we, as a counterculture, have not been able to counter the propaganda enough.
    Now everyone is trying to pretend as if nothing happened. But they will still have to answer. No amount of money will save them from responsibility for millions of lives lost for the sake of profit.
    They are these bastards, they will drown in thousands of class action lawsuits from victims of vaccination and the great reset.
    It's just the beginning for the great vaccinators. We'll see it all soon continue.

    Agreed.
    Everyone must pay specially those "health professionals" that to this day in spite of all the evidence, STILL believe in the damned vaccine.

    Because of that, I have next to zero respect of health professional. Only the very FEW that stood up against the tyrannical mandates deserve all the respect in the world.

    The first thing that comes to mind when someone talks about vaccines is: virology research is ongoing. It hasn't been stopped yet.

    But the people who are in charge of our thoughts don't want us to think about that. They want us to think about having the latest iphone, the newest electric car, and of course, the newest "vaccines." If you don't have the newest stuff, then you ain't cool, is what we're allowed to think.

    I have a Nokia candybar phone I'd love to switch to for a while, see how
    it goes. I work from home, and need to be available if I'm away from my
    desk during business hours, and having Office apps on my phone is
    awfully convenient.

    I hate the damned things with a sith/cobra kai passion. They are impersonal, distracting, addicting (for those who have fallen to the addiction) and it blurs if not downright erases the line between work and life. It went from a noble tool for communication to a tool of "zombiefying" distraction and constant stress/anxiety.

    I went many years refusing to have a smartphone, but now I require one because of work and family. Fuck!... I already feel my neurons frying... </rant>

    I'm annoyed by all the smartphone zombies who cross the street without looking because they're looking at their smartphones, but the apps are the part of it that bother me the most.

    Apps have to comply with globalist community standards in order to be distributed to the sheeple via Google Play Store or Apple App Store, and part of their community standards is to only have apps that police what people say.

    So while they're glued to their smartphones, they're also glued to leftist propaganda, because that's the only kind of propaganda that is desirabe to them.

    Yes, they were able to calmly create an echo chamber of gaslighting and only let in approved communist content. Unfortunately, most people do not understand that a smartphone is not life, but a simulation and mystification of life, changing consciousness like LSD, only in the direction set by the communists.
    We know that the smartphone ghetto causes a number of mental illnesses: clip-mosaic thinking, digital idiotism, digital dementia, digital autism, a number of psychoses, and also provokes obsessive-compulsive disorders and exacerbation of genetic mental disorders. In a way, this is a means of mass destruction of the psyche, and then everything else.
    There is a lot of evidence that this was done specifically for the purpose, as the communist Marcuse wrote, of mass pacification of people_s existence.
    In other words, replace people_s political self-awareness and solidarity with cultural-Marxist attitudes of mass consumption of digital slop. Divert attention from real problems with virtual ones.
    The fact that we discussed this in FTN proves how far communist censorship has gone in the USA.

    I worked for a tech company a few years back. The campus in San Jose
    had one building with a large parking lot around it and no significant
    pedestrian pathways through it.

    I don't know how many times someone almost walked into my car looking
    down at their phone - I wished I had a dashcam back then, as I'm sure
    someone would claim I hit them if they were injured. Even if they

    I agree that the smartphone is affecting people in a negative way. Google is giving people the idea that the answer to all their problems is in their pocket.

    Although I don't know the pedagogy of Marxism, I can attest that the Democrats in the USA are intentionally doing things to maximize ignorance. They decriminalize drugs, they legalize marijuana, they give alcohol to homeless alcoholics in California, and although they're no longer codifying segregation, they're still enforcing it socially, and although they don't sell humans as chattel anymore, they're still enabling slavery in a noveau way.

    That sounds logical, but too logical. We've seen countless updates that don't create any obvious performance enhancements. (What are updates like those really doing then?)

    It's not useless to me but it's useless to the globalists who want everyone to be confined to globalist-approve apps, and unable to accecss the WWW, or they at least want us to be unable to access it on our mobile devices.

    back to flip phones, candy bar phones, and other "dumb" phones. It's in
    part due to the data mining of apps, and due to wanting to be more in
    the moment.

    I like the idea of having a battery that lasts a week, but need maps
    support and need a full keyboard.

    It's going to be a hard adjustment for some, kids don't talk on the
    phone any more. I see my kids text someone, then I'll urge them to call
    since if it's an urgent issue. It rings, the other end doesn't pick up,
    my kids hear the tone and vapor lock. They sort of look at the phone,
    hang up, then text.

    I've tried explaining to my son (who has decent phone skills) that while
    his generation may prefer texting, the people with the jobs and
    opportunities are my generation, and we grew up with voicemail greetings
    with your name in it. When you leave a message, ask for a call back and
    leave your number.

    "Why leave a number, it's on their phone?"

    "Because we grew up with phones without caller ID, and if you want to
    make it easy for someone to reach you, it's what you do..."





    WHo's still running 3g networks? The cell phone carriers continue to
    cannibalize networks to fund/power new networks and force people back
    into buynig new phones. It's business, not conspiracy.

    That sounds logical, but too logical. We've seen countless updates that don't create any obvious performance enhancements. (What are updates
    like those really doing then?)

    Port 80 is useless to the globalists, and so are web pages and web browsers. It's for that reason that I expect to see web browsers bann from the Google Play Store and Apple App Store in the near future. They'll do it under the guise of "Stopping the spread of misinformation."

    I'm curious to see why you think unencrypted HTTP is useless.

    It's not useless to me but it's useless to the globalists who want everyone to be confined to globalist-approve apps, and unable to
    accecss the WWW, or they at least want us to be unable to access it on
    our mobile devices.

    Interesting yet that people are claiming that Google's introducing AI
    summary of web pages will eliminate traffic leaving Google and going to
    the destination page, killing the ad traffic business.

    Some people create businesses to make money, but sometimes business
    owners get bored with just making money and they advance to more fun
    stuff like playing God and controlling our freedom.

    Not all vmail systems offer to include the calling number
    properly. My cell provider allows me to press "5" to get the
    calling number, but sometimes that recording is just the person
    saying their name. Very frustrating.

    The maps are the best part.

    Yea it's a good idea to do that. Sometimes the caller ID info isn't correct anyway. I wouldn't want to have to call someone back based on what it says in the name in the caller ID section.

    Is the texting preference as much about avoiding human contact? Or does it just look that way?

    "Why leave a number, it's on their phone?"

    This is because they run through life self-impoverished have only one phone number (or maybe two if they have seperate personal & work cell numbers).

    They also seem to think that every phone number is able to take texts.

    As a good portion of them are passengers of life, they also think you have the ability to deal with texts 24/7 when it is troublesome at best if driving.

    Because they are underacheivers they don't understand that it you a piloting you own plane, your cell isn't in airplane mode like their limited passenger-mode air time.

    "Because we grew up with phones without caller ID, and if you want to
    make it easy for someone to reach you, it's what you do..."


    And because if you have to return the call from another line you may have minimal access to the data side.

    Anyone else tend to rotate through communication options "just because?" I might text back a response to a voicemail, or make a phone call following up an email, just to freshen things up. In the day I would include FAX in the rotation.

    Hello k9zw!

    Anyone else tend to rotate through communication options
    "just because?" I might text back a response to a voicemail,
    or make a phone call following up an email, just to freshen
    things up. In the day I would include FAX in the rotation.

    When I just want to notify someone that their order has
    arrived, and I *know* their number is a cellphone, I'll mix
    things up with a text. With a text I can just send it and
    forget it - and it's generally faster. With a voice call, it
    takes longer to wait for their service to route the call, reach
    the vmail and actually leave a message.

    My service, Luckymobile, also supports sending text to voice if
    the destination is just a landline. The recipient gets a call
    with a prompt to press a key, and then they here the computer-
    generated audio version of the text.

    I've been seeing the new version of the Nokia 3210; it's a 4G version
    of the old phone. There are so many Nokia phones I'm nostalgic for, I'd
    love a pocketable phone like the 8200 series phone, that was my goto
    phone for years.


    ... What's up that way?
