Governments around the world are increasingly taking control of civilian communications – especially cellular telephone networks – usually for nefarious purposes.

We have seen just this occur in the Middle East on multiple occasions during the so-called Arab Spring and now these control systems are being implemented in full force in the West as well.

This is not just dangerous because having government creep into the private lives of citizens usually turns out poorly but because this type of technology enables horrific atrocities.

One type of system is produced by Datong in the United Kingdom which has already been purchased by the largest police force in all of Britain, the London Metropolitan Police.

The London Police paid $230,000 for so called “ICT hardware” in 2008 and 2009 which creates a fake cellular phone network in order to not only intercept the communications and unique identification numbers from phones, but also to remotely turn off telephones.

This incredibly dangerous technology that seems like something out of a spy thriller is highly portable and is about the size of a suitcase.

This means that at a protest in which a brutal government crackdown is about to occur, all that the police would need to do is turn on their suitcase device and suddenly no one is able to record the incident on their phone or call for help.

I'll just have to make a bundle selling portable, phone-sized Faraday cages. (At least one could still make videos, if not calls.)

People worry about solar flares, it may be God's merciful answer to all the electronic spying, surveillance and enslavement people have come up with to use against other people. The drones couldn't fly anymore and shoot people, those who have all the power would suddenly have only bullets and hand held weapons in their arsenals. People were not created to live their lives with big brother watching them, doing mind control on them etc. etc. All this stuff goes against the laws of nature.

Newsflash pal. I can do most of that from an Android phone.
