America. Hear this from the FCC's just former chairman, Tom Wheeler's own lips. No safety regulations or standards....just wheel this on in.
Hey ho, daddy-o. Yep. Tis I, your pathetic prophetic profit-less truth-teller, back again for another round of how you're about to bite the dust, and soon.
Before we begin, however, it's time to re-announce the "Wake Up America Tour." We tried this a year ago, mind you...and it didn't work too well...maybe that was due to the fact that I didn't have wheels. Well, before it gets to the point where wheels will no longer be needed, the plan will be to get out to you in America; get right into your major cities, and tell you RIGHT TO YOUR SLEEPING FACES what you need to hear. What do you need to hear? You need to hear the truth, and you need it yesterday. I plan to be the catalyst for that truth. And, just as I have the ability (because it's pretty obvious that I don't have the right) to speak freely about that truth, you have an equal ability to not come...and not listen. I, on the other hand, would strongly suggest that you attend my little assemblies...because to not attend, will be to not survive. This time I have the means. This time, also, we have no time. So get to you quick, I will, before the agenda goes another step in the forward gears it's been pushing of late.
So..today's topic covers a little thing that goes with the "5G BEAST system that we mentioned in the article just below this one...the newest thing for your cell phones. For what we talked about, and informative articles and videos concerning that, please shuffle yourself over to this link, and do it fast:
http://themightyswordamericasdeadlysins.blogspot.com/2018/03/the-5g-beast-system.html
So what is the "Internet of Things" they keep talking about?
I need to first...apologize to you. I'm only going to be able to direct you to Wikipedia at this point...why? Because the amount of information available on this is most horrendous, and quite long. If you want to know the dark side to this heralded technology, then I suggest you immediately BYPASS everything in the first 100 paragraphs...and skip down towards the bottom, to the header entitled "Criticisms and Concerns" For those of you who do not feel like jumping around looking for this section, I will give it to you here:
Criticism and controversies[edit]
Platform fragmentation[edit]
IoT suffers from platform fragmentation and lack of technical standards[138][139][140][141][142][143][144] a situation where the variety of IoT devices, in terms of both hardware variations and differences in the software running on them, makes the task of developing applications that work consistently between different inconsistent technology ecosystems hard.[1]Customers may be hesitant to bet their IoT future on a proprietary software or hardware devices that uses proprietary protocols that may fade or become difficult to customize and interconnect.[2]
IoT's amorphous computing nature is also a problem for security, since patches to bugs found in the core operating system often do not reach users of older and lower-price devices.[145][146][147] One set of researchers say that the failure of vendors to support older devices with patches and updates leaves more than 87% of active devices vulnerable.[148][149]
Privacy, autonomy, and control[edit]
Philip N. Howard, a professor and author, writes that the Internet of things offers immense potential for empowering citizens, making government transparent, and broadening information access. Howard cautions, however, that privacy threats are enormous, as is the potential for social control and political manipulation.[150]
Concerns about privacy have led many to consider the possibility that big data infrastructures such as the Internet of things and data mining are inherently incompatible with privacy.[151] Writer Adam Greenfield claims that these technologies are not only an invasion of public space but are also being used to perpetuate normative behavior, citing an instance of billboards with hidden cameras that tracked the demographics of passersby who stopped to read the advertisement.[152]
The Internet of Things Council compared the increased prevalence of digital surveillance due to the Internet of things to the conceptual panopticon described by Jeremy Bentham in the 18th Century.[153] The assertion was defended by the works of French philosophers Michel Foucault and Gilles Deleuze. In Discipline and Punish: The Birth of the PrisonFoucault asserts that the panopticon was a central element of the discipline society developed during the Industrial Era.[154] Foucault also argued that the discipline systems established in factories and school reflected Bentham's vision of panopticism.[154] In his 1992 paper "Postscripts on the Societies of Control," Deleuze wrote that the discipline society had transitioned into a control society, with the computer replacing the panopticon as an instrument of discipline and control while still maintaining the qualities similar to that of panopticism.[155]
The privacy of households could be compromised by solely analyzing smart home network traffic patterns without dissecting the contents of encrypted application data, yet a synthetic packet injection scheme can be used to safely overcome such invasion of privacy.[156]
Peter-Paul Verbeek, a professor of philosophy of technology at the University of Twente, Netherlands, writes that technology already influences our moral decision making, which in turn affects human agency, privacy and autonomy. He cautions against viewing technology merely as a human tool and advocates instead to consider it as an active agent.[157]
Justin Brookman, of the Center for Democracy and Technology, expressed concern regarding the impact of IoT on consumer privacy, saying that "There are some people in the commercial space who say, 'Oh, big data — well, let's collect everything, keep it around forever, we'll pay for somebody to think about security later.' The question is whether we want to have some sort of policy framework in place to limit that."[158]
Tim O'Reilly believes that the way companies sell the IoT devices on consumers are misplaced, disputing the notion that the IoT is about gaining efficiency from putting all kinds of devices online and postulating that "IoT is really about human augmentation. The applications are profoundly different when you have sensors and data driving the decision-making."[159]
Editorials at WIRED have also expressed concern, one stating "What you're about to lose is your privacy. Actually, it's worse than that. You aren't just going to lose your privacy, you're going to have to watch the very concept of privacy be rewritten under your nose."[160]
The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) expressed concern regarding the ability of IoT to erode people's control over their own lives. The ACLU wrote that "There's simply no way to forecast how these immense powers – disproportionately accumulating in the hands of corporations seeking financial advantage and governments craving ever more control – will be used. Chances are big data and the Internet of things will make it harder for us to control our own lives, as we grow increasingly transparent to powerful corporations and government institutions that are becoming more opaque to us."[161]
In response to rising concerns about privacy and smart technology, in 2007 the British Government stated it would follow formal Privacy by Design principles when implementing their smart metering program. The program would lead to replacement of traditional power meters with smart power meters, which could track and manage energy usage more accurately.[162] However the British Computer Society is doubtful these principles were ever actually implemented.[163] In 2009 the Dutch Parliament rejected a similar smart metering program, basing their decision on privacy concerns. The Dutch program later revised and passed in 2011.[163]
Data storage[edit]
A challenge for producers of IoT applications is to clean, process and interpret the vast amount of data which is gathered by the sensors. There is a solution proposed for the analytics of the information referred to as Wireless Sensor Networks.[164] These networks share data among sensor nodes that are sent to a distributed system for the analytics of the sensory data.[citation needed]
Another challenge is the storage of this bulk data. Depending on the application there could be high data acquisition requirements which in turn lead to high storage requirements. Currently the internet is already responsible for 5% of the total energy generated[164] and this consumption will increase significantly when we start utilizing applications with multiple embedded sensors.[citation needed]
IoT Analytics and Predictions[edit]
Analytics and prediction models are becoming an integral part of IoT applications and this presents many challenges for development of IoT systems.[103] For example, for the systems where the privacy preservation is a big concern, transmitting data to the cloud for analytics purposes might seem risky. Another challenges arise when prediction components need to reside on IoT resource-constrained devices or when complex deep learning models need to be integrated to the IoT system.
Security[edit]
Concerns have been raised that the Internet of things is being developed rapidly without appropriate consideration of the profound security challenges involved[165] and the regulatory changes that might be necessary.[166][167]
Most of the technical security issues are similar to those of conventional servers, workstations and smartphones, but the firewall, security update and anti-malware systems used for those are generally unsuitable for the much smaller, less capable, IoT devices.[citation needed]
Network security will remain preferred solution for IoT security products, with sales anticipated to account for nearly US $15,000 mln by 2027-end. End-point/ device security will continue to be the second largest solution for IoT security products. In addition, vulnerability management solution for IoT security products will register fastest expansion through 2027.Revenues amassed from smart grid, and home & building automation applications of IoT security products will collectively account for revenues worth US $26,753.5 mln by 2027-end.[168]
According to the Business Insider Intelligence Survey conducted in the last quarter of 2014, 39% of the respondents said that security is the biggest concern in adopting Internet of things technology.[169] In particular, as the Internet of things spreads widely, cyber attacks are likely to become an increasingly physical (rather than simply virtual) threat.[170] In a January 2014 article in Forbes, cyber-security columnist Joseph Steinberg listed many Internet-connected appliances that can already "spy on people in their own homes" including televisions, kitchen appliances,[171] cameras, and thermostats.[172] Computer-controlled devices in automobiles such as brakes, engine, locks, hood and trunk releases, horn, heat, and dashboard have been shown to be vulnerable to attackers who have access to the on-board network. In some cases, vehicle computer systems are Internet-connected, allowing them to be exploited remotely.[173] By 2008 security researchers had shown the ability to remotely control pacemakers without authority. Later hackers demonstrated remote control of insulin pumps[174] and implantable cardioverter defibrillators.[175] David Pogue wrote[176] that some recently published reports about hackers remotely controlling certain functions of automobiles were not as serious as one might otherwise guess because of various mitigating circumstances; such as the bug that allowed the hack having been fixed before the report was published, or that the hack required security researchers having physical access to the car prior to the hack to prepare for it.[citation needed]
The U.S. National Intelligence Council in an unclassified report maintains that it would be hard to deny "access to networks of sensors and remotely-controlled objects by enemies of the United States, criminals, and mischief makers... An open market for aggregated sensor data could serve the interests of commerce and security no less than it helps criminals and spies identify vulnerable targets. Thus, massively parallel sensor fusion may undermine social cohesion, if it proves to be fundamentally incompatible with Fourth-Amendment guarantees against unreasonable search."[177] In general, the intelligence community views the Internet of things as a rich source of data.[178]
As a response to increasing concerns over security, the Internet of Things Security Foundation (IoTSF) was launched on 23 September 2015. IoTSF has a mission to secure the Internet of things by promoting knowledge and best practice. Its founding board is made from technology providers and telecommunications companies including BT, Vodafone, Imagination Technologies and Pen Test Partners. In addition, large IT companies are continuously developing innovative solutions to ensure the security for IoT devices. As per the estimates from KBV Research,[179] the overall IoT security market[180] would grow at 27.9% rate during 2016–2022 as a result of growing infrastructural concerns and diversified usage of Internet of things.[181][182]
In 2016, a distributed denial of service attack powered by Internet of things devices running the Mirai malware took down a DNS provider and major web sites.[183] In May 2017, Junade Ali, a Computer Scientist at Cloudflare noted that native DDoS vulnerabilities exist in IoT devices due to a poor implementation of the Publish–subscribe pattern.[184][185]
While security is a concern there are many things being done to protect devices. Device data is following cryptographic standards and encryption is being used in end-to-end scenarios.[186] To help with this scenario x.509 certificates are also being used to verify device identity.[187]
Security experts view Internet of things as a threat to the traditional Internet.[188] Some argue that market incentive to secure IoT devices is insufficient and increased governmental regulation is necessary to make the Internet of things secure.[189]
The overall understanding of IoT is essential for basic user security. Keeping up with current anti virus software and patching updates will help mitigate cyber attacks.
Design[edit]
Given widespread recognition of the evolving nature of the design and management of the Internet of things, sustainable and secure deployment of IoT solutions must design for "anarchic scalability."[190] Application of the concept of anarchic scalability can be extended to physical systems (i.e. controlled real-world objects), by virtue of those systems being designed to account for uncertain management futures. This "hard anarchic scalability" thus provides a pathway forward to fully realize the potential of Internet-of-things solutions by selectively constraining physical systems to allow for all management regimes without risking physical failure.[citation needed]
Brown University computer scientist Michael Littman has argued that successful execution of the Internet of things requires consideration of the interface's usability as well as the technology itself. These interfaces need to be not only more user-friendly but also better integrated: "If users need to learn different interfaces for their vacuums, their locks, their sprinklers, their lights, and their coffeemakers, it's tough to say that their lives have been made any easier."[191]
Environmental sustainability impact[edit]

A concern regarding Internet-of-things technologies pertains to the environmental impacts of the manufacture, use, and eventual disposal of all these semiconductor-rich devices.[192] Modern electronics are replete with a wide variety of heavy metals and rare-earth metals, as well as highly toxic synthetic chemicals. This makes them extremely difficult to properly recycle. Electronic components are often incinerated or placed in regular landfills. Furthermore, the human and environmental cost of mining the rare-earth metals that are integral to modern electronic components continues to grow. With production of electronic equipment growing globally yet little of the metals (from end-of-life equipment) are being recovered for reuse, the environmental impacts can be expected to increase.[citation needed]
Also, because the concept of Internet of things entails adding electronics to mundane devices (for example, simple light switches), and because the major driver for replacement of electronic components is often technological obsolescence rather than actual failure to function, it is reasonable to expect that items that previously were kept in service for many decades would see an accelerated replacement cycle if they were part of the IoT. For example, a traditional house built with 30 light switches and 30 electrical outlets might stand for 50 years, with all those components still original at the end of that period. But a modern house built with the same number of switches and outlets set up for IoT might see each switch and outlet replaced at five-year intervals, in order to keep up to date with technological changes. This translates into a ten-fold increase in waste requiring disposal.[citation needed]
Intentional obsolescence of devices[edit]
The Electronic Frontier Foundation has raised concerns that companies can use the technologies necessary to support connected devices to intentionally disable or "brick" their customers' devices via a remote software update or by disabling a service necessary to the operation of the device. In one example, home automation devices sold with the promise of a "Lifetime Subscription" were rendered useless after Nest Labs acquired Revolv and made the decision to shut down the central servers the Revolv devices had used to operate.[193] As Nest is a company owned by Alphabet (Google's parent company), the EFF argues this sets a "terrible precedent for a company with ambitions to sell self-driving cars, medical devices, and other high-end gadgets that may be essential to a person's livelihood or physical safety."[194]
Owners should be free to point their devices to a different server or collaborate on improved software. But such action violates the United States DMCA section 1201, which only has an exemption for "local use". This forces tinkerers who want to keep using their own equipment into a legal grey area. EFF thinks buyers should refuse electronics and software that prioritize the manufacturer's wishes above their own.[194]
Examples of post-sale manipulations include Google Nest Revolv, disabled privacy settings on Android, Sony disabling Linux on PlayStation 3, enforced EULA on Wii U.[194]
Confusing terminology[edit]
Kevin Lonergan at Information Age, a business-technology magazine, has referred to the terms surrounding IoT as a “terminology zoo”.[195] The lack of clear terminology is not “useful from a practical point of view” and a “source of confusion for the end user”.[195] A company operating in the IoT space could be working in anything related to sensor technology, networking, embedded systems, or analytics.[195] According to Lonergan, the term IoT was coined before smart phones, tablets, and devices as we know them today existed, and there is a long list of terms with varying degrees of overlap and technological convergence: Internet of things, Internet of everything (IoE), industrial Internet, pervasive computing, pervasive sensing, ubiquitous computing, cyber-physical systems (CPS), wireless sensor networks (WSN), smart objects, cooperating objects, machine to machine(M2M), ambient intelligence (AmI), Operational technology (OT), and information technology (IT).[195] Regarding IIoT, an industrial sub-field of IoT, the Industrial Internet Consortium's Vocabulary Task Group has created a "common and reusable vocabulary of terms"[196] to ensure "consistent terminology"[196][197] across publications issued by the Industrial Internet Consortium. IoT One has created an IoT Terms Database including a New Term Alert[198] to be notified when a new term is published. As of March 2017, this database aggregates 711 IoT-related terms,[199] however, without any attempts to reduce terminological ambiguity and complexity.[citation needed]
- WikipediaI thought, myself, that this section of "concerns?" was rather kind to IoT technology. Now, if you read what I said in the article below about the waves they intend to use, and that's not enough for you, you can read about a single patent that was given in 2003. Then remember, that we're about 15 years into the use of this patent today:
https://youtu.be/yf_EdKxfDiY
By the way, I'd love to include just one more video that concerns someone that implemented the use of microwaves (MMW's) as a weapon, and the use of the weapons affiliated with these waves on THE PEOPLE OF MANY COUNTRIES!:

Now that you have been properly introduced to this, I want you to think about only this: The Internet of Things means the non-usefulness....of us.
Really. How you ask?
Think about our professions as workers. What would the things they're talking about mean to those who work in their respective fields?
Let's start with one...and only one. Autonomous vehicles. This is easy to imagine. Everyone that drives...for a living. Train engineers. Car drivers for whatever reason...the DOT employees. No more licenses, cars take you everywhere. No more cab drivers. No more airplane pilots. What do we need them for? Drones will take us everywhere. No more pizza delivery. No more food delivery. No more Truckers. No more post office employees. No more package delivers, no more church vans, no more...well, I think you get the picture.
Think about what the impact on our economy will be. Think about how many more jobs will be lost to this idea. More jobs lost, means that many more people...unemployed, making finding jobs that much more difficult. But that's only the beginning.
Take a drive down the street in your car, and pass your local businesses. Appreciate them. Then think about what each and every one of those businesses DO. What you'll notice then is one really empty street. Mechanics will be only autonomous based. Your cars will be a thing of the past. Tire stores...will be gone. Grocery stores....gone. Caterers will be no longer needed. Flower deliverers. Gone. Stores will all be online. Gone. Book stores, convenience stores. Gone. Each and every one will be gone, as well as the jobs all those people held.
The biggest thing that probably scares me more than just about anything though? Will be the fact that all things will be equipped with dust sized chips, including by the way...you. You believe you have a choice. You don't. Along with all those chemicals they've been spraying in the air of late? Is a little side-dish. Nano-technology. They've been spraying chip dust on us. These chips can barely be seen in a microscope. You have to remember, they give us the ILLUSION that we have a choice, and in the meantime, you've probably got around 100 chips in you...already. All of these chips, by the way, will be CONTINUOUSLY transmitting data to each other, and to those who collect data. This means a continual bombardment of radiation at every turn. This also means, that every facet of your life, everything you do, as well as all that you know will be what THEY know. Do you really believe that all this data needs to be collected, in order to better serve you or to advertise to you? If you do, than you're a bigger fool than I am. I'm definitely NOT going to go off the deep-end by telling you how easily they could just throw the switch, and you would all, at the same moment, be brain-dead, wiped clean of your personality, be turned into homo-sexuals...the people in control of these waves could do anything they want to you...at any time. Trust that. Know only this: That one minute in the wrong hands, or in the hands of a tyrannical maniac or Government, and the world and everyone in that world, is literally their oyster.
Last but not least....I was watching a video where they were praising all that the Internet of Things would be...and the guy speaking actually said these words: "There will only be 2 ways the human race will be able to deal with the Internet of Things, and all it will become. 1. It will have to integrate with the machines (meaning, we'll have to walk around with parts of our bodies as machines, he meant), or we'll have to go extinct." I don't know about you America...but that was more than enough for me. I'm good without the "Internet of things" and all it promises to do to our lives. Not only that...but I've found Hollywood to be very prophetic these days...either in an attempt to normalize us to these bizarre futures, or to warn us of what could happen, I don't know. Be sure to watch the movie "Cell" from Stephen King (2016). I'd say it's not too far off the mark, where finally ruling the world is concerned. Pay attention people. They say the rapture is just around the corner (April 18th or directly thereafter). After reading the prophesies about Jubilee years and what happened in them coming true...I have to wonder what Rome is up to. These are the people that are nicely telling everyone that there are way too many people on the Earth, and giving us world Agendas that few of us are privy too. The Pope has been visited many times by an awful lot of our Presidents over the years. From what I hear, they are our "Godfather", over at the Basilica...and the actual rule over what happens in and with, down and under, and over America. I also hear that the Masons are in control all of that, all of us, and just about everything to come. I don't know about you, but I'm about ready to hold my breath to see what happens next. :D
