I believe on his page he said something about a link with the instructions where one could de-google their own phone.. He warns that it is technical and easy to as he said ‘brick’ one’s phone… I’m way to technology handicapped to try anything like that, but if you were brave enough, depending on the phone you have it might be able to be de-googled for free…

Just for thought, Not me
Yeah, now, there is something I am afraid of! Trying to install a different operating system in a phone!

Much love!

The thing about this hearing is they make a point of saying that the public needs to hear this.
And what the hearing is about is usually kept in classified settings.
But they felt it necessary to inform the public of how Chins is gaining influence in corporations, with politicians, lobbyists..etc.
And how they use "students" who come here to research as the ones who move the information and technologies from US to China.
And because these "students" have families that live in China, they are put under a lot of duress to do what they are told.
It's a pretty intense hearing. I didn't see it listed yesterday when they had the hearing. I saw it today, and thought I would watch it.
Not that the information surprised me, but that they made the information public did.
Some people who were asked to come on the panel refused because they feared to be exposed.

It's a very important hearing. There is no political bantering or bias.. it's strictly on point.

I was disappointed when the Senator from Maine, Angus King, my senator ugh, only submitted his questions and left.
He didn't stay to listen or to question. Which I found very interesting. He has his hands in a lot of things up here.
I wouldn't be surprised if he knows but didn't want to be heard...
He and Bernie Sanders, the only 2 Independents in Congress. And he always votes (D)

It was the disclosure and transparency of what China is doing in the US, that I found eyeopening.
That hasn't happened for awhile. Not much surprises me any more.

We may need to boycott a lot of things in order to distangle them from their grip they have on us.
And that won't be easy because they have a grip on just about everything.
Agriculture, Education, Manufacturing, Technology, Medical....
We may have to give up everything to save our Independence and our freedom.

Mat 16:26 For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?

I think we will have to find out.
Hugs
Its the blame game . OH i know china is dangerous . But what is far more dangerous than china
IS this liberal democracy . the D TEN . And BOTH SIDES SUPPORT THE D TEN .
I see where this is going . China is dangerous . But not half as deadly as our one world govt .

It's NOT about fear, please!!

Can't I make a choice based on reason and not emotion??

Do you know that you choose how you feel by choosing how to think? It's true. Trusting Jesus brings Joy and Peace. Every Time! And you can STILL go on to want a dumb phone to avoid being scooped up in the purges. There is plenty of time to be persecuted and martyred, I'd like to bear more fruit as long as I can.

I want to live as long as I can. I want to retain freedom as long as I can. I want the Lord to come, but I cherish still the delay. We work during the day. The night is coming in which no man can work. We have ONE opportunity in this world to grow and gain and produce whatever it is we will produce.

I feel like I've wasted a significant portion of my life. I want to redeem the time, as much of it as I can.

Much love!

Just letting you know, friend, that even the oldest possible flip phone with no GPS and not even any ability to connect to internet at all or even send a text, can still be tracked through phone towers even when it's off.

The only way to fully prevent that is removing the battery and discharging all the capacitors inside the circuit board.


If you're worried about being 'purged' for believing in Jesus, then believe Him also that you ought to be glad to be counted worthy to suffer for His sake. Glad for something doesn't mean hoping to put it off, in my estimation - you know?

I'm not trying to dissuade you from following your conscience, just to edify you about misconceptions you might have.

Much love

The liberal democracies

The laws that give the NSA the green light to track anyone and record all phone calls and messages are in the Patriot Act. Which was 100% 'conservative-right' policy under Bush/Cheney.

Don't kid yourself thinking the R party is any less evil than the D - the only difference is that they deceive Christians to buy their votes and loyalty, and the D doesn't bother.

There is though a difference in the trackability of various phones on various network types.

Surveillance can tell you a person is inside a building. Infra-red detectors can show the general shape and position of the person in the building. Cameras in the building can who you a clear image of the person.

Phone tracking is like that. Someone can triangulate between cell towers, and get the general vacinity of where you are. GPS improves on that, and in conjunction with wifi "daisy chaining", is improved further still. And 5G will make it pin-point in three dimensions. Not only what block, but what building. Not only what building, but what room.

Add the audio and video activation, and you get the complete picture.

Much love!

Have you ever meditated on the fact of Paul and Silas singing praise to God after being beaten and locked in stocks? Think about the Apostles ordered beated by the Sanhedrin, they went away rejoicing.

Why would that be?

Could it be that God gives greater grace, and that we have the idea of tribulation and afflictions all wrong?

"Hoping to put it off", I suppose it depends on the reason. Mine is to have the great time of fruitfulness in this world. God will determine the way, and I'm not afraid. I have to keep telling people that, I guess most people are, and they just figure I am too.

But in my desire for fruitfulness, I have the desire for a low profile, and is that from the Lord? Who will answer that?

Much love!

The Bushes were globalists just like the others. I remember that day watching the elder Bush, recent former head of the CIA, now president, saying New World Order. It was a clear signal, and that's what they've been working towards since.

People complained about Obama, the Patriot Act did more damage to the constitution that Obama EVER did! Well, that is, until recently, if the reports are correct about him being one of the puppet masters.

Much love!

A thought keeps coming to mind about what Christ requires of us.

He does not want us to hid our "light" under the bed so that no one else can see it. And if we are the salt for the earth to season it, we cannot be hidden in a salt bag and not doing the job of seasoning the whole earth.

Matthew 5:13-16: - Believers Are Salt and Light
(Mark 9:50; Luke 14:34,35)


13 "You are the salt of the earth; but if the salt loses its flavor, how shall it be seasoned? It is then good for nothing but to be thrown out and trampled underfoot by men.

14 "You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden. 15 Nor do they light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the house. 16 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.​
NKJV

What I am hearing is that the dung heap is a calling us.

Shalom

OK! I'm going to talk to my wife about it, but we'll have to do some fancy footwork to afford it. But we'll see! If it's God's will, He will make a way.

Well, here's the real thing:

Ephesians 2:2 KJV
Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience:

There is a power of the air, which is the spirit that now works in the children of disobedience. That power of the air has a prince, an angelic ruler, ruling over that power, this spirit that is manipulating Americans, Chinese, Bolivians, everyone who does not have the Holy Spirit.

Much love!

If you post on this site then most likely the government monitors your activity regardless if you have a smart phone or not. I just assume someone is watching me all the time. We gave up privacy with these cell phones/internet. It’s a thing of the past. I don’t like it but at the same time I don’t care. If someone is watching me thinking I’m a bad guy they are going to be very bored and disappointed. Plus I love the GPS map programs for hunting. In Christ we have nothing to fear.

I just LOVE how EVERY question is answered!!

I came across this in my lunchtime reading:

John 18:1-5 KJV
1) When Jesus had spoken these words, he went forth with his disciples over the brook Cedron, where was a garden, into the which he entered, and his disciples.
2) And Judas also, which betrayed him, knew the place: for Jesus ofttimes resorted thither with his disciples.
3) Judas then, having received a band of men and officers from the chief priests and Pharisees, cometh thither with lanterns and torches and weapons.
4) Jesus therefore, knowing all things that should come upon him, went forth, and said unto them, Whom seek ye?
5) They answered him, Jesus of Nazareth. Jesus saith unto them, I am he. And Judas also, which betrayed him, stood with them.

Which immediately reminded me of:

John 8:59 KJV
Then took they up stones to cast at him: but Jesus hid himself, and went out of the temple, going through the midst of them, and so passed by.

And this one:

John 8:20 KJV
These words spake Jesus in the treasury, as he taught in the temple: and no man laid hands on him; for his hour was not yet come.

In one case, He stood up and declared Himself.

In one case, He hid Himself.

In one case, He continued about His Father's business, no one touching Him.

Which then reminded me of this:

Ecclesiastes 3:1 KJV
To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:

Much love!

I think for a cheaper price he’ll de-google your phone if it’s one that can be de-googled??

So . . . you equate this with "hiding my light"? OK. How exactly?
