Do You See What I See?

Electronic devices interest me to some degree, especially the ones that are constantly changing on cell towers and light poles. Ever since the Tex Dot guy mentioned during the upgrades to I-635 LBJ that now was the time to install the tracking stuff that people just right off as part of the upgrade to the construction that make their little drive to work a whole bunch better. So, when the cameras starting appearing with Dallas Police on them, it wasn't a total surprise, nor were the difference in camera look- a-likes that are license plate readers and not cameras at all. Then, came the cell towers that can ping your cell phone and triangulate your location using GPS without you even knowing it just by having you cell phone with you. In short, where you go and how often you go is now archived in databases.

It doesn't bother me because the only privacy a person has today is in their heads and even that is being researched and developed in ways that are far more invasive that you really want to know about. They already have your DNA from the people who swab so blindly because they want to know "where I came from"  family tree thing to pleas of  "swab for matches for organ transplants" on open wholesale scales. Now, don't get me wrong. People who need organs enters into a whole  different ball game of sports. There are better ways to protect a your DNA---the very vault holds of all that you have as an individual. The "where did I come from" game really is over before it begins, especially if you believe in the bible where it already proclaims that trying to trace your origin is 'game over' before you even start because it's not happening according to the ancient scrolls that were part of the early bible.

So, here we are back to just the privacy issue of electronics! Hence, a more realistic look into the secret world of data bullies that use your data as an income generator, keeping only the real stuff that matters for their own use or until technology opens up the next frontier that will use that collected data as fuel for push sale of the technology and that is just the cover page. The behind the scene stuff is really where the dirty, grubby and bully-tactic work is really taking place.

Now comes the 5G sell! The gotta have it crew. Yes, even the cry that is all bull---to protect you and keep you safe. Of course, a large majority still believe that and that's what is being counted on. Oh did I mention that the collection of data would then grow exponentially?

Recalling again the conversation with the Tex DOT guy who made a bold statement that really turned out to be more truth than fiction, "Dallas, is asleep at the wheel."  For example, the cell tower at my neighborhood Kroger store has long been a black briefcase cell tower. With that said, we don't even have to assume that the time frame would put that technology in its infancy. A lady was at the service counter and was having problems with her debit card a couple of days ago. I've had that same problem of late, but on the drive to my friendly K-Roger's store I noticed the addition of this new 5G that was just outside the store (5G also transmits your financial data from the store to the banks). On the way home, I spotted several more on utility poles (aka telephone phones) They are the newer version of cell towers. Even your local Dart bus will be able to swipe soon if not already. New technology called 5G covers the five main purposes of communication distribution. I think back to the days in the mid seventies when we were being told that computers are going to make our life easier. Never has marketing lied more to the general public than with that statement except when they tell us that it makes us safer.

It All Started in the wee hours of May 28th when 80 MPH winds was tossing everything against the side of my house.

 Those winds were substained for well over 40 minutes. The results were trees everywhere down or large branches broken off. One of my bus ro...
