Important and timely article. The "smart grid" is closing in on us. Recommend this wee film on the harms of trespassing technology and associated bioweapons to which we haven't given informed consent.

I've just watched it. The meters are bad and so are the towers which I see placed right outside schools here.

Actually in chile the people who work on the meters and who periodically open these smart meters for inspection wear a full body safety clothes, googles and protective visors. When approached and asked was it because of radiation emissions they said...yes.

So this implies how dangerous these are to people and almost every home in Ireland now has a smart meter...lethal!

"Volunteer in haste and your grandchildren will have all the time in the world to repent but none of the freedom to do it." Great clincher to an excellent article. Thank you Patrick!

Each and every one of those responsible should be held accountable.

Patrick— I like how you put it, "softly, softly, catchee monkey."

Also, your summary: "“People don’t do what they believe in, They just do what’s most convenient, Then they repent.”

My personal take on it is that too many people find all things digital so echantingly modern and appealing and altogether better— they're not going to be convinced to avoid these things, it's sort of like battling the winds and the tides. So an important effort is going to be to get legislation that establishes that citizens who do NOT want to use a digital device must be accommodated. At this point in time, I am convinced that the pressure point, the plug as it were, is there.

I'll give you some insight Patrick.

Biometric logins are never secure because the login credentials never change.

If someone steals a password you can always change the password.

If someone steals the entire database of password hashes, the company can always make everybody change their passwords.

But if someone steals your fingerprint... that's it. You can't change it.

There's already plenty of exploits for biometric "logins" including (and I shit you not these are what they're called):

The Sausage Finger attack (if you rub a sausage on a fingerprint scanner it can register a false positive and grant access); some scanners try to thwart this with a temperature reading so you just heat up the sausage.

The Paper Maiche attack (make a Paper Maiche of a head approximately the size of your target and then glue on a printed out copy of the target's face on it). You don't even need the entire face printed out: the eyes and nose will do it.

The Paper Retina attack (print out a piece of paper of someone's eyes at very high resolution).

The Evil Twin attack: find someone who looks very much like the target and get them to unlock the phone (which you can pair up with the Paper Maiche attack).

For richer folks there's the 'use cellotape to get a copy of the finger print and make a latex finger with the fingerprint that you can put hot water in' attack.

Naturally the biometric idiots will suggest "also a password" but that's just stupid and involves datamining your biometrics... so just use just a password. Biometric bullshit is stupid, adds additional expense to devices, does not add security.

I have a saying in security design:

You can either have convenience or security.

Thanks Underdog. Very enlightening. They get ur finger/face print and you have even less security.

The requirement of " conscent " was a big issue in the administration of the 💉

Many very learned people on our side who previously were not remotely religious in any way have came to the conclusion ( as I have ) that what went on during the covid years was way past human actions and the deeds done to people were beyond what the vast majority of humans were capable of.

They believe now that pure unadulterated EVIL was at play in attacking humanity.

Remember ....even the Devil himself requires " concent " before he infiltrates and takes your soul.

Evil.

God bless you all.🙏
