Maui fire victims reported numerous and continuous explosions and structures 'exploding' in flames. Old buildings that install smart meters are at significant risk to power surges without total replacement of old wiring in the structure >> that is Lahaina. Very old buildings, old wiring.
All smart meters are on the Cloud and can be remotely controlled and hacked. A brush fire does not guarantee total destruction of structures, smart meters do. Basically one chance to get it right, if the goal is complete destruction and chasing off and/or liquidating the inhabitants. Light the fuse of a brush fire and ignite the smart meters and turn off the water. Blame downed powerlines and incompetence.
THEY WANT THE LAND and they want total capitulation of the population through the CLIMATE CHANGE Psyop

Despite denials, smart meters have a documented history of catching fire, exploding and causing voltage surges that start house fires and destroy appliances and electronics:

After years and protest and agreements, Hawaiian Electric broke a promise of 'opt out' regarding smart meters and mandatory replacement was completed on Maui, earlier this year.
Vanguard and BlackRock own controlling shares in Hawaiian Electric at a combined 20%.

Nobody is doing more to force the Climate Hoax on populations than ESG creator and Smart City flag bearer Larry Fink, CEO of BlackRock
Another proposed Smart City location, another devastating FIRE.
Kelowna Residents fought Smart Meter installation for almost a decade. They Lost. Smart Meters have been installed throughout Okanagan and Kelowna:

What I write isn't meant as an attack on you - but a response to an attitude I see particularly among the older generation.
You say you know your phone is bad to the point where you (rightly) assume it's listening in, yet you are not willing to do anything about it? Seems like you didn't even trade freedom for security, you traded freedom AND security for convenience.
Did you every mention anything about your daughter while on the phone to your husband? Could it be used against her in 20-30 years if need be? Do you privately communicate ideas and thoughts that would put you on a list if you did it publicly? Then you can assume you're on a list.
Somebody knows that everybody you communicate with, your close family, people you meet... They're all hanging out with "potential terrorists".
From what I've gathered you're old and experienced enough to know that at one time people were worried about "the man" snooping around library cards. Stories about how the Stasi surveiled East-Germans. Maybe you've read "1984" and how people had to hide in corners of their apartments because most of it was surveiled by "Big Brother".
I know it's very convenient to use a smart phone. The services provided "for free" by various companies. The reasons I know this is because I've elected a life without smart devices and "free" services. It's not easy. It's not convenient. But freedom and independence never is.
It might even be useless when so many people select convinience over privacy, security and freedom of mind... But fighting for freedom never is.
Unless you believe your bloodline will die out in the coming years I implore you, reevaluate the long term impact of your compliance. For the sake of your decendants.
I totally disagree. The amount of individual power you gain by having (by 30 years ago standards) a supercomputer in the palm of your hand is far more liberating than any corporate espionage can take away. If it ever does get bad enough to the point that the average person is losing more than they gain w smart phones, we already waited too long to have the revolution. You cant spend your life living in a cave out of fear that one day the communists will send us back to the stone age
What can I say? I disagree.
If you understood the amount of data phones hand off by default, before even installing apps, perhaps you would change your mind. Did you read the terms of service and privacy policy? I wouldn't fault you if you pressed "yes" even if you didn't. Most people don't.
All the info is available if you start looking. The horrors of digital life is such that I cannot describe it. You must understand it for yourself.
Solid agree. That's why I'm not advocating saving the world or saving society as we know it. I advocate saving yourselves and your decedents.
I wouldn't mind an off-grid life innawoods. But that's still a bit drastic to me. That's why I spent years learning about this stuff. Knowledge didn't make me paranoid, it scared me shitless for good reasons.
Here's a few basic steps on how you stop Google from listening in, while retaining the basic smart capabilities of an android-style phone:
And then you start hardening your system.
I'm not saying "Don't use modern systems". I'm saying that if your attitude is that you know it's bad and refuse to do anything to reduce the harm, you should consider not using it altogether.
Unfortunately I'm also saying that the technical skills to use a smartphone/standard computer with reasonable privacy is unreasonably high.
Even for a "reasonably decent techie" like me it's too much, I'd rather just go without a lot of these modern spy-machines.
Fun fact since you compared a modern phone to 30+ yrs. old super-computers, a modern smartphone (2020) is roughly 5000 times more powerful than CRAY-2 (1985). Consider the possibility that I know more about this topic than you and if so, what sort of horrors have I seen to be so strongly against it?
Yes google is listening. They have 3 reasons:
I dont care about number 1, most people will never have to worry about number 2, and number 3 they already have enough info on everyone to do what they want. So the average person has nothing to gain by suddenly being paranoid now
I know it's not like that but far worse. I'm sure you know it's not. I guess it's a matter of differing knowledge and points of view.
We all do what we think is the best, I wish you good luck with your way.
Well I mostly use the phone to access GAW and twitter..don't do too much talking...I have a house phone...I clearly understand what you are saying...and you are probably right...
But don't you think that the ideas we post on GAW pretty much are known? Believe me those ideas I post would get me in more trouble than anything I say at home. I think you have sacrificed to live a life devoid of smart devices and I commend you for that...I truly understand what you are saying...
Will this all come back to bite us...probably...our privacy and freedoms have been eroding for quite a while and yes...we have chosen convenience over those things...I know others who adhere to the same principles as you...for me...am I ready to make these changes...it may be hypocritical but no...although I do think there are changes I can make...I will certainly give your post some thought...you mean well...I know...
I love you as much as I love any person that want to make the world a better place. I am still disappointed, if I was your father I would spank you for doing something you know is bad. I hope your choices won't negatively impact those you care about. I wish you the best.
Thank you for loving me even when I make bad decisions...isn't that what we do ad nauseum with our children...my children are all married and on their own and truth be told they choose a lot more electronic stuff than I do...when I babysit my grandkids at my son's house I am very conscious of what I say and how I say it because they utilize "Alexa"...yikes talk about listening in...it's like an extra member of the family...very creepy...and you will say that is the same for me...just more clandestine...and you would be right...
I will definitely consider what you said...we make so many choices in life...I have been fighting major battles since at least 1976 and to tell you the truth I am running out of gas...I guess being older makes me give myself a little more leeway to make some bad choices...I am a perfectionist but I am far from perfect...
That is not an excuse...just how I feel as I get older...I am doing SO many things right in my life...am I gonna get bent out of shape for this one thing...you are right and science and truth are on your side...so you have done well to challenge my hypocrisy...you are a wonderful example of talking the talk and walking the walk...and I do admire that...thanks for caring enough to speak the truth...
