The problem continues to be that Democrats selectively just ignore the hell out of laws they don't like or that are inconvenient for them.

Thus, as is obvious now, the law is but a fig leaf for power, raw and unchecked.

Click through, it's interesting, they actually cited these methods in previously published papers it seems.

It uses a much higher frequency plus beam steering to make the connections to the tower more "focused" for lack of a better description. No, the towers will not be drastically more dense, it'll just be the same density of towers. Bandwidth will be hugely expanded and orders of magnitude more subscribers will be able to use each cell.

What has gov't freaked out (and rightfully so) is Huawei providing the backbone equipment in the same way Cisco used to do. That would conceivably enable them to tap comms.

Gist is the people who squawk about "5G mind control" are usually very dim on the tech knowledge side, and this guy totally did not appear to be like that. That's my point.

The 5G nonsense bugs me. Anyone in the tech fields knows “5G spying” is for idiots who think cell phones run on unicorn farts.

And this guy was in tech.

(Mind you I’m not referring to embedded Spyware in 5G equipment ala Huawei)

Maryland is still blue.

If it was flipped red I'd call bullshit, so it could be real after all.

“At Any Cost” by Bill Sammon is an excellent and thoroughly enjoyable book that lays out in detail what happened.

Totally recommend.

I read a book by one of Biden's staffers that talked extensively about just this. That remarkably, Biden has very few allies/friends in politics because he just does not put in the work of promoting people he is in contact with. It's all only for him, nothing reciprocal.

You DO realize what that bundle of tightly bound sticks is called, don't you?

Fasces

It's a bit disconcerting when you first experience it, but sure as hell cuts down on attacks on property or people near such premises.

Endstate of this level of street-crazy is how it is in the Philippines.

Every single business, from Starbucks to 7-11, has armed security. With shotguns and handguns.

Another thing that is not said about WeChat is that compared to Facebook/WhatsApp/Telegram/Google stuff.... it is a VASTLY superior product.

Yes, the Chinese shut foreign competitors out of their market, but WeChat is still a very good app.

Of course uh I don't uh talk about meh Communist Bandits when chatting with it but hey!

The Chinese should just go and buy the personal data from Facebook like everyone else does.

Here's the deal I sent you the email address and the address is in a great location and the service is great and they are the best they have ever been to the hospital for a while and then he was a bit of a problem but it is not the best app for the app store or the app store or so I can get a hold of him and he will be able to get to it and it worked out for me a lot to do you think I can do it for you and you can do it all.
