5G in Canada is a marketing scam?

The person in this video says he repairs cell phones for a living and there's no 5G chip in 5G phones in Canada. If anyone has knowledge of this, drop a comment. 

It makes me wonder about U.S. 5G phones. Does anyone know if U.S. cell phones actually contain the 5G chip? I haven't disassembled a cell phone for over 10 years and that's only after it was run over by a car, at slow speed. Many attempts were made to reassemble it, but it wasn't salvageable. There was data on it I'd like to have accessed.

I forget where I found this video. H/T to whoever it is. If it's yours or you ran it, drop a comment, I do my best to give attribution.

"We noticed you didn't watch our ad! You vill watch ze ad before you zee the content!"

I can't find a story on this, so I don't know if this is a joke or true. 

If true, advertisers and sponsors will monitor your eye contact confirming you watched their ad before allowing you to view the actual content? And if they see that you didn't maintain eye contact, you'll have to watch it making certain to maintain eye contact? I don't F'ing think so. 

If you're aware of a story substantiating this new and innovative Big Brother Tech experience, drop a comment. This has to be a joke, right?

If true, I have to imagine this will result in a lot of unwatched content. Would you watch an ad where you're being monitored to make sure you view the ad?

Biden proposal Increases ATF Budget by $2 Billion more!

Must Watch video ⏬ 

The GBBL: Joe Biden Increases ATF Budget To $2 Billion!

ATF's agenda, per the video for Biden's 2025 billion dollar funding increase is ..."to prosecute gun crimes, [yadda yadda] ... INCREASE REGULATION ON THE FIREARM INDUSTRY."

This isn't about prosecuting gun crimes and criminals or reducing gun violence. How many more laws on the books do we need for that? It's all about Biden and his handlers, determined to disarm law-abiding, legal gun owners and dismantle 2A by chipping away at it piece by piece.

Kudos GBBL for staying on top of these stories and those who cover them.

- - - 

For 2A, who you support for president this year couldn't offer a more stark contrast. If you're still hating on Trump because, "muh bump stock", may I gently suggest you drop that chip off your shoulder and consider 2A under four more years of Biden.

100,000’s More Gun Safes Added to RECALL… Safes from MAJOR RETAILERS AFFECTED.

This is a Must View ⏬ 

The GBBL: ALERT: 100,000’s More Safes Added to RECALL… Safes from MAJOR RETAILERS AFFECTED.

What is going on with the gun safe bio-metric option? Something is either seriously flawed or is it being done deliberately? Why do I ask this? 1) I don't believe in coincidences. 2) If I did believe in coincidences, the number of instances of this happening with bio-metric options greatly exceeds what I would consider or define as a "coincidence." 

This isn't part of The GBBL story, it's me: If you bought and have to return one of these safes, may I suggest wiping it down entirely, inside and out, so that traces of your print(s) aren't available. After the wipe-down, from that point on, handle the safe entirely wearing gloves. Touch nothing, not the receipt, not the "return" papers, not the pen -  nothing - without wearing gloves. You can removed them once you've left the store and don't dispose of them anywhere but from home, preferably shredding them.

The least problematic option, imho, the manual dial of any safe:

A Spectacular Technical Achievement is Upon Us!

Oh Boy! A more modern look and feel! Don't worry, Beta-Testing a resounding success. Passed with flying colors. No glitches. No redesigns that impact the current simplicity of it.

If you dislike the changes, will they allow you to revert to the legacy mode?

Scientists to deliver a warning about nuclear war with Doomsday Clock 2024 announcement.

USA MacPaper (MSN/Yahoo): Scientists to deliver a warning about nuclear war with Doomsday Clock 2024 announcement.

What time is the clock set at now?

The clock is at 90 seconds to midnight, the closest the clock has been to midnight in its history. Midnight is the moment that symbolizes Doomsday.

Who decides the time on the Doomsday Clock?

The Doomsday Clock is set each year by the 22 members of the Bulletin's Science and Security Board in consultation with its Board of Sponsors, which includes 11 Nobel laureates.

I disagree with those selected in making this decision. 

I think the setting of the clock should be decided by me, Zack, Pappy, Jess, Mike, Phil,  Odysseus, The GBBL and Paul who, if he chooses, can work via remote from his Caribbean hideaway. This is a good Brain Trust! I like it! 👍

Here's a moderately decent Deep Fake Video of Biden.

Imagine the bullshittery optics from The Globalists and politicians when this technology is completely refined!

Disclaimer: "Sensitive Content". Snowflakes shouldn't watch and instead Click Here and never return to this Blog.

If someone didn't know Biden, had never seen or heard much of him, yeah, the above could fool them into believing the above video is real. It has its signs of being imperfect technology. Something like this would easily fool the Joy Behars of the world. Which is a scary thought.

Twitter Files 9.0 Reveals Coordination Between Tech Giant & Govt Agencies Other Than FBI.

Libs, RINOs and the medical community are thoroughly corrupt. But we already knew this.

Twitter Files 9, Substack by Matt Taibbi: Twitter Files Thread: The Spies Who Loved Twitter From FBI to DNI the DNI to "OGA," the full thread on Twitter and its intelligence partners.

 After weeks of “Twitter Files” reports, the FBI issued a statement Wednesday.

    It didn’t refute allegations. Instead, it decried “conspiracy theorists” publishing “misinformation,” whose “sole aim” is to “discredit the agency.”

3.    They must think us unambitious, if our “sole aim” is to discredit the FBI. After all, a whole range of government agencies discredit themselves in the #TwitterFiles. Why stop with one?

4.    The files show the FBI acting as doorman to a vast program of social media surveillance and censorship, encompassing agencies across the federal government – from the State Department to the Pentagon to the CIA.

The Epoch Times: New ‘Twitter Files’ Show Company Suppressed COVID Information From Doctors and Experts.

Twitter appeared to succumb to pressure from federal officials to moderate content around COVID-19, including blocking a post by a former Harvard scientist who offered critical feedback against COVID-19 vaccines in 2021, according to the latest installment of the Elon Musk-endorsed “Twitter Files” posted Monday morning.
[.]
[...] a Twitter moderator flagged a post from former Harvard School of Medicine professor Martin Kulldorff because it violated the the social media firm’s COVID-19 misinformation policy and asserted that he was posting “false information.” When the firm took action against his post, it was labeled as “misleading” and all likes and replies were turned off, which prevented the post from being shared more widely.
[.]
“The United States government pressured Twitter and other social media platforms to elevate certain content and suppress other content about COVID-19,” [journalist David] Zweig also wrote, adding that when the current administration took over last year, “one of their first meeting requests with Twitter executives was on COVID.” The focus, namely, was regarding “anti-vaxxer accounts,” internal emails show.

The TWITTER FILES PART 8: How Twitter Quietly Aided the Pentagon’s Covert Online PsyOp Campaign - Lee Fang.

Lee Fang @lhfang (in chrono order):

Despite promises to shut down covert state-run propaganda networks, Twitter docs show that the social media giant directly assisted the U.S. military’s influence operations.
[.]
3. But behind the scenes, Twitter gave approval & special protection to the U.S. military’s online psychological influence ops. Despite knowledge that Pentagon propaganda accounts used covert identities, Twitter did not suspend many for around 2 years or more. Some remain active.

4. In 2017, a U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) official sent Twitter a list of 52 Arab language accounts “we use to amplify certain messages.” The official asked for priority service for six accounts, verification for one & “whitelist” abilities for the others.
[.]
18. The reality is much more murky. Twitter actively assisted CENTCOM’s network going back to 2017 and as late as 2020 knew these accounts were covert/designed to deceive to manipulate the discourse, a violation of Twitter’s policies & promises. They waited years to suspend.

This release is damning for Twitter, Social Media and the Government. Some would call this behavior treasonous and seditious. Not a peep from the ACLU or Liberals who claim they care about this type of collusion. Shocking!

TLDR version of all the Twitter Files: The FBI was running interference for the Bidens, the Dems and the RINOs (all of whom didn't want President Donald Trump re-elected), hand-in-hand with Social Media, claiming that the Hunter Biden Laptop From Hell was fake and disinformation. If this had been done by a Republican, we'd be watching MSM impeachment coverage 24/7. Not only this, but the FBI was in constant contact with Twitter and FB on what news and stories to spike. Twitter and FB complied.

So many writing about Elon Musk releasing the Twitter docs to Matt Taibbi. It's a fascinating read and it's far from over and I'm not fully up-to-date on it.

Here's the link, starting at Tweet/Thread #1 and on it goes. And it's to continue until it's over, I guess. 

Let's hope this breaks the monopoly of Big Tech's stronghold in politically manipulative Social Media.

Elon is right, there must be transparency and accountability.

Don't hold your breath. Lower expectations and be encouraged when a hit lands.

On a side note, I'm reminded of the South Park episode "Skankhunt42," where during late night sessions, Gerald Broflovski (of ALL the characters, they pick him - 🤣 everyone thinks it Cartman), trolls and cyberbullies other in SP on the internet as "SkankHunt42," which is also the title of the episode. If you like SP and haven't seen it, check it out. If you've seen it, it's more relevant today than when it was made.

Major internet outage hits Canada with 75% national connectivity loss.

Euro Weekly: Major internet outage hits Canada with 75% national connectivity loss.

Canada has suffered a major internet outage across the nation as reported on Friday, July 8.

Canada’s major internet outage is reportedly due to the telecommunications giant “Rogers” suffering technical difficulties that have caused clients across the nation to lose their cable, wireless and internet connections.
