De-Googled Phones Have Superpowers! Why They're a Necessary Tool for Privacy

I couldn't get an exact date for the Canadian sunset, but I was told that we'd be getting advanced notice long before the service would be turned off.

People really need to wake up to what they are actually surrendering by running head first into this technological nightmare. As for that new A.I chip?

[@Animal_lives_matter]

Hey man that sounds great but where do I go to start learning how to do that? Even just researching how to jailbreak my phones was a big research job on xdaforums and I'm not game to pull the trigger otherwise it could brick my phones and I've lost $1000. And I don't know how any of the Qualcomm chipset drivers work, whether it would produce issues with our local phone providers, for instance they just made VoLTE mandatory where I live and even off the shelf phones sold as late as 2022 aren't even compatible anymore - would I be guaranteed VoLTE support with a custom ROM? If I just go putting lineage or whatever on my phone I have no idea what the result will be. I know that Nokia and Motorola baked a lot of their own OEM stuff into it for that particular chipset combination and geographical marketplace, I'm not sure I can reproduce the same result. I've done fresh install from scratch on some Dell laptops and that was a bit of work finding all their individual drivers online.

Regarding looking at the amount of data they send, the thing is that the quantity of data doesn't even need to be much for it to be of extremely high value/quality/usefulness. Like a GPS coordinate every hour combined with sending all logins and passwords would be using less than 1 kb per day, and even sending all the text one ever types probably amounts to less than 10 kb per day. This is effectively undetectable if one only looks at high data transmissions.

At 9:30 Rob mentions the iPhone as the normi phone; love the comment. iPhone users forget or do not understand Android is the most used operating system in the world, and not just for phones. Also, Android phones command 70%+ of the world's cell phone market. Look at the iPhone 10 next to their new iPhone 15, there is nary any difference to the end user. Okay their chip is faster, and the camera is improved, but to what degree, incremental degree at best. Put the iPhone 10 next to the iPhone 15 you are hard pressed seeing any difference. They both run the same version of iOS. The rest of the world's cell phones are leaps and bounds ahead and better than iPhone. iPhone now has fallen in to the "Emperor has no clothes" syndrome. Compare the iPhone to the Chinese brands, the Samsung phone, the OnePlus phones, those are all much better than iPhone. Here is what sells iPhone it is their outstanding marketing and users bullying non iPhone users into purchasing them. For over eleven years the iPhone was my only phone, along with twenty-two+ years Apple computers and all their other hardware and software products. Four years ago, I became fed up with Apple as a company, and their products not keeping up with the rest of the world; we switched to Samsung and Windows. We now work in a world without compromises which is outside the Walled Garden Apple holds folks in. Notice Apple computers hold less than 10% of the world market. Still, I have much Apple stock and wish them well, so to you I say I will never purchase another Apple product, yet I ask you to continue doing so as it helps my Apple stock.

I'm afraid the example might not hold water, any phone is tracked, its the basis of any phone that they are connected to a tower, weather you are using data or voice or not, you het assigned to a tower with your phone and imei number and as you move you get hand-overs to closer by towers. since multiple towers are used you can always be triangulated provided the phone is powered on (most of them cannot be truely switched off) the only way out is when we own the infrastructure.

My work requires me to have an authenticator app on my phone to authenticate me and my log in even with a VPN. I would have to keep a phone for this unless there's a way to do that on a de-googled phone?

How does a degoogled phone keep the police from geofencing you? The carrier has cell towers. What am i missing? They know where you are by your phone number. What am I missing?

[@robbraxmantech]

Tracking you via the carrier is not accurate enough for geolocation. It could be a mile circle.

@@DisYoCheck Yep. In recent times in the UK, the govt were saying that even if you were simply standing at the scene of a "riot" (which actually, some gatherings were simply concerned people's protests but I'd be here forever explaining the disinformation circulated by some media outlets), you could get done - just for being physically present, even if you hadn't physically DONE anything. Now imagine walking down a street, you turn a corner and are confronted with a crowd of "rioters" (ie protesters who disagree with the govt). You didn't wilfully attend the protest, you didn't realise it was even happening, but because your phone info places you at the scene...much like the scenario described by Mr Rob here in this video in America - the phones placed people there apparently. Some people need to think outside of the box a bit - glad to see your comment here, it's obvious you think about the potential for misuse of these phones. You could simply have your phone with you and encounter the unexpected "riot" etc, but if the govt places your phone location there, they're gonna place you there and you could get into trouble for absolutely NO good reason even if you have done nothing wrong. Then again, some people still think the govt cares about their "health and safety" - and I'll leave that topic right there lol.

In other words, the Nephilim (that feed on masses of humans) are corporations. They want what they want when they want it. Having the dirt or even just the simple knowledge of ones tendencies, vulnerabilities, and location along with the brute forces such as the police or even just psyop plants working under them will ensure that one is easily removed to ensure they get whatever they want that you happen to have...or even just 'offing' someone for becoming too much of an irritation or nuisance. These are businessmen who obviously never had the capability of loving someone or of being worthy of love or respect bc they were never anything but soulless ghouls that always ignored the ends chasing after the most absurd and violatory means. The best things in life comes from a kind heart and a pure mind. What will happen when those ppl no longer exist...bc their survivability is no longer feasible in today's age of information, technocracy, the mainstreaming of books such as the 48 Laws of Power...which is really just the mathematical formula for the 'offing' of souls? When EVERYONE has become narcissistic sociopaths with vendettas to avenge the 'offing' of their souls and opportunities of contentment or peace in their life bc things like love and honor or honesty was laughed at, scorned, and taken advantage of?
