Is it a felony to bring a video camera into the public restroom or locker room?
Isn’t it interesting how we have laws regarding stalking and voyeurism, and regulations regarding harmful radiation, but those seem to be ignored with the mobile smart phones today? What is worse is that people have no clue, they are innocently enjoying their phones everyday, taking them wherever they go, even into locker rooms.
Negligence
I’ve even seen people caressing and holding their mobile phones for no apparent reason; and reading and texting on them while driving. I’ve even seen a couple of people watching a video while driving. Many people have them mounted on their dash board, what kind of stupid is that, especially driving at night? Everyday I see people reading them while they walk or ride a bicycle, and just carrying them as they move about like you would a drink at a party. People stand in public entrance ways, motionless as if in suspended animation, while staring at their phones and obstructing other pedestrians. I’ve seen parents at their children’s soccer games, like pipes sticking out of the ground, also motionless in that same shape, head down–hands cupped out in front, as they read and text on their phones, entirely divorced from the world around them. People go to restaurants, two or four or more sometimes, sitting at the same table, all reading and texting on smart phones, not speaking to each other.
I’ve been in two rear-end car collisions because of people texting while driving and I’ve seen about seven wrecks on the side of the road, just in the last year, even where several cars were involved, most likely from drivers texting and then ramming into the car in front. How many times have you been waiting in traffic only to discover you were waiting behind the driver in front of you for no other reason than he was texting on his phone and didn’t see the traffic ahead of him move forward.
Did you know that a driver license is legally considered “evidence of incompetence”? That is very fitting under the current circumstances when so many people think it’s their free time when waiting at a stop light or in traffic, to read their phones (text) or watch videos. This doesn’t even begin to cover the other problems with our “friendly” technology.
Surveillance
Each mobile phone has its own unique frequency and the longer it’s used, the more data is stored in that frequency. Don’t believe me? Watch this short video:
And for those of you with a greater technical vocabulary, buckle up when you watch this:
The pattern of movement, where you travel, with that phone is stored in an NSA/CIA database. All of your data is captured, stored forever and in many cases, sold for profit. This doesn’t even consider the fact that no one is using any type of encryption, which means that anywhere you go and use free Wi-Fi, someone with another phone or device may be sitting on the network waiting for you, and just grab your data without you ever knowing. You probably pay money for ID theft protection, but you’re not really getting it as these systems are antiquated. Must of the encryption security you can get on your phone is free, and while it’s not absolute encryption, it’s very close. While the NSA/CIA, for example, could grab your encrypted data, it might take 100,000 years to decrypt, if it could be decrypted. People are concerned about privacy risks that are nothing compared to what their mobiles phones expose them to, without adequate encryption.
What about our personal and home, safety and security? We have smoke detectors, locks on the doors, alarm systems, but a huge gateway into our entire lives is just walking around with us, totally unguarded against the most sinister people there are.
Why are people taking their phones into the gymnasium and then reading them during a workout? I don’t think people yet realize that the cameras and microphones are activated continuously, or at least intermittently. Worse still, I see people walking around, reading their phones in the locker room. I wonder if it’s still a crime to be ignorant of a crime while you’re committing it and I wonder if the other people who are showering and changing would appreciate sociopaths at the NSA/CIA watching them. I wonder what liabilities the property owner has for allowing people to knowingly or unknowingly make video recordings of people in the bathrooms and locker rooms. What if children are involved? It’s gets ugly to say the least.
I really don’t like exercising next to someone who is watching his phone, because I’m probably being video recorded. I don’t bring my phone to the gym for this reason, but if three other people around me are staring at their phones while exercising, well then it’s likely I’m under surveillance, both with video and audio. Why does anyone need to bring a phone to the gym anyway. Do you think Arnold ever did that?
Did you know that with each photo taken on your mobile phone, it is time and location stamped with the exact coordinates of where the image was taken, and when that photo is uploaded to any Internet website, that data is included? How many times have you taken your friendly, harmless smart phone in with yourself to use the toilet? Yeah, let that one sink in for a moment.
I’ll bet you didn’t know that having your mobile phone “on your person” at a traffic stop allows the police to legally collect all of your mobile phone data from your carrier in about a minute just by scanning it? This habit waives protections you would normally have because of the Fourth Amendment prohibitions against unlawful searches and seizures. But why would you care? You’re not doing anything illegal; however, I’ll bet you didn’t know that your babysitter is under investigation for drug use and her name and number are in your contact list. Maybe a simple traffic stop for speeding ends up with you as a suspect in a criminal investigation, just because you waived your rights from lack of knowledge. Have you ever heard what happens because of the forfeiture laws? In this case, you could lose your house, car, job, freedom and even your children. Sounds unlikely, right? Yeah, and the government would never spy on you.
Your mobile phone is transmitting all of the surveillance data it has collected from you everyday to the SMART meter on your house. If you don’t know what a SMART meter is, you may want to take a look for yourself; but it’s a node on an international network of SMART meters that collects and relays data about yourself and everyone else. It’s not the data you might think; in addition to your name and address, it’s transmitting at least your financial information, Internet connection (e.g. browsing habits and movies you watch), and use habits for each of your appliances. It’s also downloading data from your car while it’s sitting in the driveway at night. This data describes which appliances you own and when you use them. Why, you might ask?
This data is more valuable to the power company than what you are paying for energy and it’s being sold, at least to other companies so that it can be used to market other products and services to you, among other nefarious purposes. As your data is being collected and transmitted by the SMART meter network, it has no level of encryption. Anyone can get that information with a simple phone app. What might we surmise about our data and the SMART meters being used for energy on the buildings we visit throughout the day, such as the grocery store, doctor’s office, school, etc.? Look closely at the video cameras set up around different intersections in your city and while those are obvious, what you might not have noticed is the square, flat box-like gadget somewhere nearby, usually at the same height. This is a Wi-Fi scanner and it’s collecting the signals from your car and mobile phones, even if you’re not using the phone.
Did you know that wi-fi signals can be used to form images and enable people to see through walls and into your home?
And you should know that your mobile phones are broadcasting data to collection centers at certain places around the world, where certain globalist type creatures are watching all of your financial transactions, Internet habits, telephone communications, your dishwasher and other appliances, and predicting the future and your every move, and they are betting against you. See for yourself,
And if this is not friendly enough, what about the adverse health consequences of your phone’s radiation?
Radiation
Did you know that 4G and 5G (gigahertz or billion cycles per second of radiation) of energy penetrates human tissue and changes the way your cells function. If it can cause the embryo cell wall to harden and prevent fertilization and sterilize the human reproductive system; what else can mobile phone radiation do? Preliminary studies have revealed that cell phone radiation may decrease sperm count, sperm motility and viability.
What is this radiation doing to our brain, cardiac and neural tissues? Studies have shown adverse effects to the blood-brain barrier and flow of cerebral fluid caused by EMF radiation, along with the optic nerve and cornea. What are other peoples’ phones doing to the rest of us (kind of like second-hand cigarette smoke)? I see people holding their phones to their chests, in their laps and some people even have them strapped to their bodies, which leads me to another point.
Why do we have pacemaker warnings because of microwave radiation in convenience stores, but nothing about four and five billion hertz of tissue penetrating energy that surrounds us all the time? Maybe there is so much money involved with this technology that the producers of it have paid off our lawmakers so that they can get away without notifying us of the harmful effects this technology has on the human body.
If you don’t think there is any harm in using a mobile phone, watch these short videos;
, and,
and, and
and how about using your iPad to cook eggs or pancakes:
and,
and how about this exploding phone from reflected radiation?
Don’t think for one second that a new phone has less radiation than an older phone. Can you imagine what this does to children?
If there is a questionable health risk to the smart phone technology, why not err on the side of caution and wait for further, real scientific research? That’s what rational people do.
A senior science fellow at Environmental Health Trust, L. Lloyd Morgan, published a review in July of 2015, in that Journal of Microscopy and Ultrastructure; wherein, a review of the current literature showing that children face a higher health risk than adults was undertaken. He and his team looked at peer-reviewed cell phone exposure studies from 2009 to 2014, along with cell phone radiation data, government documents, manufacturers’ manuals, and similar publications and have concluded that children and unborn babies do face a greater risk for bodily damage that results from MWR given off by wireless devices, according to Morgan and colleagues.
The review reported that the rate of MWR absorption is higher in children than adults because their brain tissues are more absorbent, their skulls are thinner, and their relative size is smaller. Fetuses are particularly vulnerable, because MWR exposure can lead to degeneration of the protective sheath that surrounds brain neurons.
Women who use mobile phones when pregnant are more likely to give birth to children with behavioral problems, according to authoritative research.
A comprehensive study, which surveyed more than 13,000 children, found that using the handsets just two or three times a day was enough to raise the risk of their babies developing hyperactivity and difficulties with conduct, emotions and relationships by the time they reached school age. And it adds that the likelihood is even greater if the children themselves used the phones before the age of seven. Part of my motivation for writing this article was my observation of children waiting at bus stops before school, most of which with heads down, hands under their faces and texting or reading mobile devices. I’ve been to soccer games where two-thirds of the parents are staring at their phones and the others are caressing them in their laps while they watch the game. This is neglectful. If you are a parent and this describes yourself or your children, you are neglecting your children, but the state wants you to do this because it wants to injure you so you will need medical care, cancer treatment and pharmaceuticals and it wants to collect all of your data all the time. Why are you allowing this? Why don’t you let your children play with mercury and x-ray machines as they did in the fifties?
Microwave Invented by Nazis and Banned to Soviets
Did you know that it was the Nazis who actually invented the microwave oven? They were used in their mobile support calling them the “radiomissor”. These ovens were to be used for the invasion of Russia. By using electronic equipment for preparation of meals on a mass scale, the logistical problem of cooking fuels would have been eliminated, as well as the convenience of producing edible products in a greatly reduced time-factor.
After the war, the Allies discovered medical research done by the Germans on microwave ovens. These documents, along with some working microwave ovens, were transferred to the United States War Department and classified for reference and “further scientific investigation”. The Russians had also retrieved some microwave ovens and now have thorough research on their biological effects. As a result, their use was outlawed in the Soviet Union (for a year or two). The Soviets issued an international warning on the health hazards, both biological and environmental, of microwave ovens and similar frequency electronic devices. It’s the same frequency range used in mobile phones today, but on the higher side of the spectrum.
The Russian scientists discovered that Microwaving prepared meats sufficiently to ensure sanitary ingestion caused formation of d-Nitrosodiethanolamines, a well-known carcinogen. Their research found that, icrowaving milk and cereal grains converted some of their amino acids into carcinogens, that thawing frozen fruits converted their glucoside and galactoside containing fractions into carcinogenic substances, that extremely short exposure of raw, cooked or frozen vegetables converted their plant alkaloids into carcinogens, and that carcinogenic free radicals were formed in microwaved plants, especially root vegetables.
Why don’t we at least require this type of disclosure for our electronic devices? We have Materials Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) for nearly every compound, why not electronic devices?
Ergonomics
What about the physiological effects of looking at your mobile device throughout the day? Millions of people do it throughout the day and are totally unaware that cell phone use can be detrimental to the back. Did you know that cell phone use can double or triple the weight of your head and can strain your neck? If you are reading this article on a cell phone or tablet, you are probably doing it right now, tilting your head forward and down in order to look at your device.
Typically, an adult human head weighs between 10 and 12 pounds. As the head tilts or angles forward, the cervical spine’s (neck) muscles, tendons, and ligaments support the head during movement and when static; such as holding the head in a forward tilted position. Even the neck’s inter-vertebral discs are involved and help absorb and distribute the forces exerted on the neck. The Chief of Spine Surgery at New York Spine Surgery and Rehabilitation Medicine, Kenneth K. Hansraj, MD, created a computer model of the cervical spine. In an article published in Surgical Technology International, he reported that this model showed that the strain on your neck rises as the forward angle of your head increases: at 15 degrees of forward tilt may equate to a head weighing 27 pounds, at 30 degrees forward, the strain on the neck equals a 40 pound head. The greater the angle, the greater the strain: 45 degrees forward equals 49 pounds of strain, and 60 degrees forward equals 60 pounds.
Now consider the fact that the average person is holding his or her head forward to look at a phone or read a tablet for 2 to 4 hours a day, according to Dr. Hansraj. teenagers spend even more time each day looking down at their devices. As you tilt your head, you also move your shoulders forward into a rounded position, which is another aspect of poor posture. All this excess strain creates extra wear and tear on the structures of the neck, upper spine and back, and contributes to spinal degeneration that may require surgery.
Asthenopia
If you’re one of those people who glances at his smartphone 150 times a day, chances are your eyes are paying the price for your screen addiction. Staring at your smartphone — or tablet, e-reader or laptop, while we’re at it — for too long can lead to tired, itchy, dry eyes, and even blurred vision and headaches.
Digital eye strain or asthenopia, sometimes referred to as computer vision syndrome, is well documented. If you’ve ever experienced dry or irritable eyes, blurred vision, eye fatigue, or head, neck and back pain after using a computer or smartphone, then you’re familiar with it.
A 2015 report from The Vision Council, Hindsight Is 20/20/20: Protect Your Eyes from Digital Devices, found that 61 percent of Americans have experienced eye strain after prolonged use of electronic devices — nearly 2 out of every 3 people. Long-term damage or not, we have an outbreak of eye strain on our hands.
Mobile phones emit HEV light (also called blue light), so staring at phone and tablet screens may actually harm our eyes permanently. HEV light is that portion of the visible light spectrum that comprises light with the shortest wavelengths, which carry the greatest potential to damage living tissue.
Reading your mobile phone within an hour of going to sleep may impair your natural sleep cycle that normally responds to the cycle of the sun setting and the onset of darkness. By stimulating your optic nerve with this type of light, it causes your brain to act as if the time is in the middle of the day. This interferes with the different phases of your brain waves and sleep cycles. It’s no wonder why the inventor of this technology, Steve Jobs, refused to allow his children to use an iPad or iPhone.
Addiction
Some of this may be redundant because different references I've used in this article have arrived at the same conclusions from different research. The recent explosion of smartphone use has provided people with the ability to access limitless information and instant communications at any given moment. Ninety percent of adults in America own a cell phone, and while this may not be a problem for many people, some individuals develop an addiction to their mobile devices. Mobile phones are constantly being improved by expanding upon their functionalities, which in turn increases the likelihood of overuse and addiction. According to the PEW Research Center, 67% of smartphone owners have admitted to checking their phone for calls or messages when their phone didn’t vibrate or ring. This is one major sign of cell phone dependence and should serve as a warning to cell phone owners. A more sinister discovery is that applications such as Facebook are purposes designed so that when the subscriber checks for messages, a slight delay is programmed into the response so that it creates a elevated degree of anxiousness and when the messages finally load and display, the sensation of satisfaction becomes addicting. This type of addiction has symptoms.
Although cell phone addiction is not yet listed in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 5th Edition (DSM-5), research has compared it to gambling addiction, which has clearer diagnostic criteria and is included in the DSM-5.
At least 4 of the following signs and symptoms are thought to comprise criteria for cell phone addiction, and the problematic cell phone overuse must cause significant harm in the individual’s life:
A need to use the cell phone more and more often in order to achieve the same desired effect.
The compulsion to ignore dangerous or awkward situations in order to read phone, such as texting and driving, or texting while standing in the middle of the parking lot or a public walkway and being oblivious to obstructing others, such as texting or read one's phone in a doorway or hallway in a crowded movie theater.
Persistent failed attempts to use cell phone less often.
Preoccupation with smartphone use.
Turns to cell phone when experiencing unwanted feelings such as anxiety or depression.
Excessive use characterized by loss of sense of time.
Has put a relationship or job at risk due to excessive cell phone use.
Need for newest cell phone, more applications, or increased use.
Feelings of withdrawal, when cell phone or network is unreachable or after forgetting your phone.
Feelings of anger, tension, depression, irritability, restlessness.
Overuse of your cell phone or smartphone can result in a number of different physical problems that may cause permanent damage or be difficult to treat, including: digital eye strain, you have pain and discomfort associated with viewing a digital screen for over 2 hours. Your eyes begin to burn and itch or you have blurred vision, eye fatigue or headaches, or a combination of these. You may also suffer from neck pain, also known as “text neck,” which refers to neck pain resulting from looking down at cell phone or tablet for too long.
There is also an Increased illnesses due to germs. Did you know that 1 1 in 6 cell phones has fecal matter on it? E. coli bacteria, which can cause fever, vomiting, and diarrhea, is found on many phones. Phones have been found to be contaminated with MRSA. Phones have also been discovered to cause painful abscesses and life-threatening infections in bones, joints, surgical wounds, bloodstream, heart valves, and lungs.
Car Collisions.
There are no “car accidents” from texting while driving as the term “accident” implies it could not have been avoided. These are car collisions resulting from negligence and deliberately choosing to put your life and the lives of others at risk by texting while driving, or viewing your phone while driving. Again, waiting in traffic is not free time to read your phone to resume a texting conversation. Many people mistakenly believe that they can multitask and use their phones while driving, but this causes significant impairment and puts the driver and others on the road in danger. Research has revealed that texting and driving can be just as dangerous as drinking and driving.
In addition to these, there are important adverse psychological effects of cell phone addiction. It can be the cause of sleep loss. Mobile phone addiction has been linked to an increase in sleep disorders and fatigue in users. Using your cell phone before bed increases the likelihood of insomnia. Bright light may decrease sleep quality. Smartphone use could increase amount of time it takes to fall asleep. Light emitted from the cell phone may activate the brain and interrupt the sleep cycle.
Other symptoms include depression, obsessive/compulsive disorder, relationship problems, real world relationships may suffer as a result of neglect in favor of excessive mobile phone and social media use. You may suffer from anxiety. Research has found that college students who use their cell phones the most are more likely to feel anxious during downtime.
Are you addicted to your smartphone? Consider these questions:
Do you find yourself spending more time on your smartphone than you realize?
Do you find yourself mindlessly passing time on a regular basis by staring at your smartphone even though there might be better or more productive things to do?
Do you seem to lose track of time when on your cell phone?
Do you find yourself spending more time texting, tweeting, or emailing as opposed to talking to real-time people?
Has the amount of time you spend on your cell phone been increasing?
Do you secretly wish you could be a little less wired or connected to your cell phone?
Do you sleep with your smartphone on or under your pillow or next to your bed regularly?
Do you take your phone into the bathroom or while exercising in the gym?
Do you find yourself viewing and answering texts, tweets, and emails at all hours of the day and night, even when it means interrupting other things you are doing?
Do you text, email, tweet, or surf the internet while driving or doing other similar activities that require your focused attention and concentration?
Do you feel your use of your cell phone actually decreases your productivity at times?
Do you feel reluctant to be without your smartphone, even for a short time?
When you leave the house, do you ALWAYS have your smartphone with you and you feel anxious or uncomfortable when you accidentally leave your smartphone in the car or at home, or you have no service, or it is broken?
When you eat meals, is your cell phone always part of the table place setting?
When your phone rings, beeps, buzzes, do you feel an intense urge to check for texts, tweets, or emails, updates, etc.?
Do you find yourself mindlessly checking your phone many times a day even when you know there is likely nothing new or important to see?
Believe it or not, you could be suffering from an un-diagnosed mental disorder by the manner in which you use your mobile phone, and there are actual treatments for it, just like any other mental disorder.
There has to be ways to counteract the security and safety problems I’ve described here, and there are.
Safe Conduct, Encryption and EMF Shielding
The easiest and most obvious is, stop using your phone while you’re driving, or sitting in traffic. Have the self discipline to wait and use your phone when you are not behind the wheel. Waiting in traffic is not your free time to resume a chat session.
If you’re going into a public restroom, or any bathroom or locker room, be sure to conceal your phone so that no part of it can be seen, and of course, don’t use it while in those locations. There are new devices you can buy to encase your phone and block, at least the camera, and some block the microphone. I can envision a day when businesses provide a wall of key-lock boxes insulated into Faraday cages so that customers can place their phones safely and securely into them and eliminate all or most of the EMF radiation from so many phones in one building.
How do you limit your exposure to the radiation and surveillance from your phone? Carry it in a specially designed EMF shielded pocket (usually about $20) and use the speaker phone or ear buds when you can during conversations, and avoid using your phone to answer email or read websites. Instead of using the factory installed chat or text function, download the free app “Signal” and use that instead, it’s end to end encryption. Replace your Wi-Fi router with an Ethernet only router (careful not to choose one with both features). Keep your router in a Faraday cage, you can buy these and they are actually kind of stylish. Double-wrap all your power transformers with aluminum foil and keep them at least a meter away from your body when you’re using your computer. When you can, store your phone in a double foil-lined shoe box (makeshift Faraday cage) stored in the microwave, and don’t get me started on microwaves; I’ll just tell you that I unplugged and replaced mine with a really nice toaster oven, and use it only to store my mobile phone. A microwave is a Faraday cage, but you can now buy a real Faraday cage for your Internet router and other electronic devices. It’s worth researching and you don’t need to spend lots of money to protect yourself within reason.
You can also consider using EMF shielding and absorbing fabrics and materials in your home and look at the different versions of a “chem buster” online and see if that might be something you’d want to use to absorb these frequencies to prevent them from being absorbed by your body.
Don’t let your children hold or carry these devices close to their bodies or charge them at night within the room in which they are sleeping, and especially, don’t leave them under the pillows where your children are sleeping. Basically, children should not have mobile phones, especially at school.
