Kind of negative, but largely true. Our only hope lies with Trump and the internet. Once they get a lock down on the internet and that may happen if Trump doesn't win the House and keep the Senate so we can change section 230.

We will NEVER reopen. Ever.

Not with that attitude we wont .

The people of Venezuela saw and knew what was happening. They were complacent, and didn't want to make waves.

America will never be a communist shit hole.

One advantage of California: there never was a normal, just a series of novel abnormals.

The great reset. Only, it will unexpectedly boot up Minecraft.

We will reopen within 12 months of vaccine and we will go back to normal. Everything will be fine like it always is. This post is ridiculous lol

BayArea says

Until the next virus from China.

Fuck the cold vaccine. There will always be a black swan for the powers that be to suppress us with.

This is all certainly starting to feel like some real bullshit isn’t it?

Lockdown will end after election. This shit is only to force every person with a pulse to mail in vote for least exciting candidate Biden.

Remember when the shutdown was just for 'two weeks'?

Lol, we are on day 200 or so of the "15 days to slow the spread".

@Tenpoundbass - what say you now?

A year from now, (or thereabouts) I will ask you again.

Apparently it is still needed for the 2022 midterms. One indication of what is to come with those midterms will be California recall. Let's see if Newsome is behind bigly when the polls close, but wins the next day with fraudulent mail votes.

Many Republicans expected the lockdown to end after the election. It didn’t obviously, even though Biden is now president.

Ha. Wait until the Climate Change lockdowns start.
Get to drive your car, or even leave your house, on alternate days perhaps, based on even-or-odd last digit of license plate, like they did in the "Gas Crisis" in the 70's.
Like any fully realized Authoritarian system it will be enforced by your neighbors, with the Next Door app turning into a snitch forum leading to struggle sessions involving somebody sneaking some water to their zinnia's at night or not recycling properly.

Yeah I was wrong, I foolishly thought this shit would be over. Gravely mistaken. It’s like a shark that has unlimited appetite, the more you give, the more it wants.

The great news is that bicycles and walking are less suited to Total Information Awareness.

If you like day 545 of 15 days to stop the spread, just think how great it’s going to be on day 1695 when only the vaccinated are allowed to vote (unless you are an illegal alien in which case you can vote as many times as you want as long as you aren’t white)

A Chinese friend told me that all cars are automatically tracked all the time by license plate recognition cameras in China.

Biking and walking are better, but still subject to facial recognition tech. When masks are no longer required, I may wear them anyway for just this reason. But not until then, lol.

That is where your mobile phone comes in. And if you can be required to get a jab "for your safety and the safety of others," how much of a stretch will it be to require an implanted transponder? This is why the mandated jab be should be stopped now.

Get a Faraday bag for your phone.

Karloff says

Lately I see this pattern around all of a sudden is just because of Biden tyranny. Particularly most of the Asians are the best at submitting them-self.

I can see whole new markets opening up for Faraday Cage jewelry, clothing and adornments for those Globalist implants.

"G5 99 percent resistant woven metallic silk!" "Stop the voices with our raffish headware." "Why wear aluminum when you can be hip to our latest shielding fashions?"

WineHorror1 says

Is that different than just leaving the phone turned off until you want to make a call? But if you do turn it on or take it out of the Faraday bag for a call, does not that give away your position?

Facial recognition probably isn't going to work on a bicycle.

Ceffer says

How about cloning the implant? Make a copy of your implant and attach it to a railroad car, leave it on a plane, or mail it to the White House.

Turning off your phone will not negate the signal. Yes, when you take the phone out, it will contact the nearest cell tower. The best thing is that you can allow what you want to allow.

Are you sure about that? There is no battery usage on my Galaxy when it is turned off.

That is what you think
But in reality, it is one of the reasons why smart phones don't have removable batteries anymore. The Govts of the world asked for this in exchange for no more research on the dangers of using cell phones.

I think governments also like the ability to remotely use a phone's microphone and camera even when the phone looks like it's off.

It's very easy to do this as long at the battery is in place.

I can't say that I I am certain about it, but as an engineer, let me tell you what I'm certain of.

There's no reason not to have a removable battery other than force you to buy a new phone when your battery (inevitably) dies.

It is trivial to make a circuit so that when a camera (of any type) is active, a small LED would HAVE to be powered on. Not just that software indicates it's active, but the camera can't be active unless the LED is lit.

The same is true with a microphone.

I have worked for companies that it's corporate policy to tape over your cameras. I've been in meetings where you had to either leave your phone at a desk, or remove your battery.

I'm pretty expert with a lot of operating systems, but if I purchased a phone there would be no way for me to tell, without using physical devices like amp/volt meters to detect intrusion. I can detect network activity, as long as it's limited to wifi, but no 4G or 5G not without specific equipment. I can BUILD this stuff, but it's megabytes of assembly machine code, it would take a life time to go through to detect hidden code which is designed to spy on me.

We know WITH CERTAINTY that Nest from Google had microphones planted in some of the products, without disclosing it. Google, and EVERY PRODUCT THEY MAKE, can no longer be trusted. This wasn't accidental, it increases the bill of materials, they could ONLY have been using it to spy on people. Amazon echo is the same, assume your phone is the same.

It would also be trivial to have hardware kill switches for the camera and microphone and gps.

The Librem does that, but it never seems to be immediately available:

Increases the bill of materials.

It's trivial to do, but it costs money.

When I worked for RCA, I was assigned a project to move data from an Ethernet controller to memory. The normal way do to this was DMA, Direct Memory Access, which would use hardware to move the data, however it cost something like 25cents more to make a memory controller that was able to do this, so my job was to optimize code in assembly to do it in a real time operating system. It took months to do but we sold millions of units.

A device that costs $199.99 sells much better than a device that costs $200.24.

A device that guarantees privacy, will cost SLIGHTLY more, and hardly anybody will buy it. That's the reality.

I challenged a friend that had an Amazon Echo to start talking about their "new dog" they were about to get - and they had no intention to get a new dog, to see if they started to get advertisements for dogs on their computer. Of course she did, now she unplugs it when she doesn't use it. I'm rather disgusted she didn't throw it away. It's a spy device. Even though she knows it's a spy device, it's "too convenient" for her to get rid of.

She makes me lose respect for women.

Same with the Pinephone, you can almost never get one on demand.

Maybe not back to normal, but eventually we'll get to pre and post Genocide.

Tenpoundbass says

Maybe not back to normal, but eventually we'll get to pre and post Genocide.

I'm highly doubtful that the vaccines are designed to do a genocide. IF THEY ARE, it will require a second genocide of the people who helped carry it out.

There will be many dead in the military, and there will be people who will accept a court marshal before they take the vaccine. They will live and watch their friends and family die.

Our establishment can't be that stupid but on the other hand, they make some pretty fundamental mistakes. The last 4 years of the corporate television media propaganda really destroyed their credibility. They've created quite a large group of people who simply don't trust the narrative anymore.

My take on the "great covid reset" is that it's a cover story for leaning in to the "great end of the petrodollar reset", and all the consequences that will come of that.

Worst case: the news that the virus was constructed with parts of the AIDS virus turns out to be true, and everyone who got the jab gets AIDS.

Note that AIDS commonly takes 10 years to develop from the time of infection.

The reactions people have to the injection do sound similar to reactions people have to AIDS infection, which is at first like a flu, and then seems to go away for a while.

Not saying this is true, but it's an interesting worst-case thought experiment.

So say that in 10 years a billion or two people are dying. What do the oligarchs do? Well, they probably would have hidden themselves very well by then. And there would be such upheaval that it would probably be difficult to carry on normal life or to find them.
