A much tighter edit, with an expansion on weaponization:
DECREASING USE OF SO-CALLED “SMART” PHONES
Great positive changes are underway at every level of our reality. They began in earnest in 2012, and have been increasing in speed and magnitude. I began writing this series of articles, entitled “Positive Changes That Are Occurring”, in July of 2013.
These historically-unprecedented positive changes are being driven by many hundreds of thousands, if not millions of simple, inexpensive tactical Orgonite devices based on the work of Wilhelm Reich and Karl Hans Welz.
Since Don Croft first fabricated tactical Orgonite in 2000, its widespread, ongoing and ever-increasing distribution has been unknitting and transforming the ancient Death energy matrix built and expanded by our dark masters, well, all the way back to Babylon, and before. And, as a result, the Ether is returning to its natural state of health and vitality.
One of those changes is that the populace has recognized that technology has been weaponized against it. That’s because moral and mental healthy vary directly with that of the subject’s etheric environment.

Sales of so-called “smart” phones are decreasing regardless of culture or geography, because the populace has recognized that technology has been weaponized against it.
What, exactly do I mean by “weaponized”?
DEPRESSION AND ANXIETY
Well, for example, adolescents spending a small amount of time on electronic communication are the happiest. Adolescents who spend more time on electronic communication and screens (e.g., social media, the Internet, texting, gaming) and less time on nonscreen activities (e.g., in-person social interaction, sports/exercise, homework, attending religious services) have lower psychological well-being.
Long hours of mobile phone use, particularly 2 hours or more, are related to depression. Women aged 45-54 suffer more stress and depression than all other age groups.
54% of US teens are addicted to their smartphones. The addiction rate among females is 150% higher than that of males
In 2017, depression was said to be “worsening” in teens, especially girls.
ALCOHOLISM
There is a significant relationship between Problematic Cell Phone Use and alcohol abuse. A 2016 study found that women are more prone to smartphone addiction than men. A 2017 study found an alarming rise in hard drinking and alcohol abuse, especially in women and older Americans.
INSOMNIA
There is a strong correlation between internet addiction and insomnia. In January 2011, bmcpublichealth.com published “Mobile phone use and stress, sleep disturbances, and symptoms of depression among young adults - a prospective cohort study“, which said “High frequency of mobile phone use at baseline was a risk factor for mental health outcomes at 1-year follow-up among the young adults”.
A study from 2006 found that females have a 41% higher risk of Insomnia than males. The trend of female predisposition was consistent and progressive across age, with more significance in the elderly. Smartphone adoption in the US strongest among older people. An article from April 2012 said “Insomnia Affects Women Slightly More Than Men”.
The number of women who use their phones more than 6 hours a day is twice that of men who did the same.
Long hours of mobile phone use are associated with insomnia, particularly in students using mobile phones for 5 hours or more a day. 54% of US teens are addicted to their smartphones. The addiction rate among females is 150% higher than that of males.
Female college students spend an average of 10 hours a day on their cell phones, while male students spend nearly eight. Thus female college students spent 25% more time each day on their phones.
34% of teen girls ages 14-17 say they mostly go online using their cell phone, 10 percent higher than teen boys the same age. This is notable since boys and girls are equally likely to be smartphone owners.
In a 2013 blog post for Psychology Today, psychology professor Ira Hyman, Ph.D., writes that researchers may just be observing the rise of a new norm in social interaction: immediate, hyper-connected and here to stay.
“Feeling a need to be socially connected hardly seems like an addiction to me,” Hyman writes.
ALZHEIMER’S DISEASE
In 2002, just four years after the literal forest of “wireless communication” infrastructure sprang up virtually overnight in all the nations, neurosurgeon and researcher Dr. Leif Salford exposed over 1600 experimental animals to low level microwave radiation. His results were consistent and worrisome: microwave radiation caused the blood-brain barrier to leak.
Dr. Salford repeated the experiment in 2003 on 32 additional animals; they waited this time 8 weeks before “sacrificing them”–and found “up to two percent of the neurons in all areas of the brain were shrunken and degenerated.” Dr. Salford called the potential implications ‘terrifying’.”
That same year, in February 2003, BBC News said “Cell Phones ‘May Trigger Alzheimer’s Disease’”
The article says “The rats were exposed to two hours of radiation, equivalent to that emitted by mobile phones. Their brains were examined under a microscope 50 days later. The researchers found that rats which had been exposed to medium and high levels of radiation had an abundance of dead brain cells.”
Can you see how “an ABUNDANCE of dead brain cells” is general? Can you see how they used a dopamine-triggering positive word, “abundance”, to describe the only-generally-described percentage of cell-phone-killed brain cells?
Two hours! How do you think your brain is doing after years of exposure to a toxin that is cumulative and dose-dependent?
What makes that BBC story really impactful is this headline from WebMD from January 2010, just seven years later: “Can Cell Phones Help Fight Alzheimer’s***?***”
Non-ionizing radiation drives Alzheimer’s disease. That’s why Alzheimer’s deaths increased 54.5% from 1999 to 2014. And it’s also why, between 2000 and 2015, deaths from Alzheimer’s disease as recorded on death certificates increased 123% while deaths from the number one cause of death (heart disease) decreased 11 percent.
BRAIN TUMORS
The words “mystery”, “baffled” and “puzzled” are memes, used, among numerous similar variants, whenever anyone in the wholly-controlled-and-coopted Political, Academic, Scientific and Media establishments wants to lie about, well, basically anything. One of those variants is “unusual”. That’s why the number of Swedes under age 70 who died of a brain tumor “of an unknown nature” increased 1,071% from 2008 and 2013.
The number of patients reported dead of brain tumors with a confirmed diagnosis “declined” during the same period. Here you can see the generational Satanist Medical Establishment describing phone-driven brain tumors as “brain tumor of an unknown nature”, and removing the data from the national cancer registry.
In 2017, it was shown that the California government buried the truth about cell phone radiation causing brain cancer.
In November 2017, the American Cancer Society altered its advice about mobile phone use and urged people to limit the time the phones are held to the head, because NTP researchers discovered that brain tumours had developed in the male rats, and that DNA in their brains had been damaged, “something that sceptics have said was not biologically possible.”
Dr Anthony B Miller, a professor at the Dalla Lana School of Public Health at the University of Toronto said “the evidence indicating wireless is carcinogenic has increased and can no longer be ignored.”
Malignant brain tumors in the U.K. increased 140% - more than doubled – from 1995 to 2016. Glioblastomas increased 22% to 45% in the U.S. and Europe from 2002 to 2017, while rates of all other brain tumors decreased.
BREAST CANCER
A study in 2015 showed cellphone radiation causes cancer. Breast cancer increased 25% from 1975 to 2017. White women have the highest rate of breast cancer.
In 1990, the National Institute of Health said “There is no evidence that radiogenic breast cancers appear during the first 10 years following exposure, but after this time the number of such cancers appears to increase rapidly. On the relative-risk scale, the data suggest that the incidence peaks at 15 to 20 years after exposure and the mortality about 5 years later. Observations to date indicate that the absolute risk continues to increase until 50 but may decrease at older ages.”
It takes about ten years for breast cancer to show up after someone has been irradiated by their phone, or medical scans, or “for your safety” weapons scans at airports, to name only three of innumerable sources of radiation.
In August 2004, the National Institute of Health described “Radiation-induced malignancies followingradiotherapy for breast cancer”.
That’s Mil-speak for “the radiation used to treat breast cancer is in fact causing that cancer.”
CANCER
In April 2017, in a landmark ruling, an Italian Court found that cancer was linked to cellphone use. That’s why the number of people were diagnosed with kidney cancer in the U.K. more than doubled from the mid 1990’s through 2016.
The words “mystery”, “baffled” and “puzzled” are memes, used, among numerous similar variants, whenever anyone in the wholly-controlled-and-coopted Political, Academic, Scientific and Media establishments wants to lie about, well, basically anything. That’s why a New York Times article from June 1991 is headlined “Study Finds Mysterious Rise In Childhood Cancer Rate”.
Cancer increased 40% in young people in the U.K. from 2000 to 2016. 2000 was right when the literal forest of what is purported merely to be “communication infrastructure” was thrown up suddenly in all the nations. Using a generalization and a half-truth, the U.K.’s Telegraph said “Modern life is killing our children”.
From 2009 to 2014, new cancer cases of all types increased more than 10%. That’s because purportedly harmless non-ionizing radiation from Technology, primarily “smart” phones, causes cancer.
Colon cancer deaths in the U.S. decreased 38% from 1970 to 2004. Then colon cancer deaths in the U.S. increased 9.3% from 2004 to 2014, but only among whites. The overall rates for colorectal cancer have been going down for several decades with the exception of one group; young white patients.
Bowel cancer rates among younger people in the U.K. increased 48% from 2004 to 2014. 2004 was when all the young white patients got their first cell phones and put them in their back pockets over their colons.
It’s obviously not just non-ionizing radiation. In 2008, the National Institute of Health documented “Increased risk of colon cancer after external radiation therapy for prostate cancer.”
Death rates from liver cancer have doubled in the United States since the mid-1980s. Liver cancer deaths in the U.S. increased 43% from 2001 to 2017.
Lung cancer cases in Northern Ireland increased by a third from 2006 to 2014. The increase among women was more than four times the rise in men. The increase was attributed to a “report” that said “More women than men are taking up smoking”. With the truth being that a fifth of all women in Ireland smoke (20%), a lower percentage than men (26%).
Female college students spend an average of 10 hours a day on their cell phones, while male students spend nearly eight. Thus female college students spent 25% more time each day on their phones.
34% of teen girls ages 14-17 say they mostly go online using their cell phone, 10 percent higher than teen boys the same age. This is notable since boys and girls are equally likely to be smartphone owners.
Men exposed to high levels of indoor artificial light have a 280% higher risk of developing prostate cancer. Where “indoor artificial light” is a Trojan horse for “purportedly-harmless non-ionizing radiation”.
From 1975 to 2007, oral cancer increased 28% among people 18 to 44 years of age. Among white people in this age group, the incidence increased 67%. The largest increase, 111%, was seen among white women, the group that held the so-called “smart” phone against their jaws the longest.
Squamous cell carcinoma increased 45% among the general population from 2000 to 2010, while it increased 263% among women during that time. Women 30-49 experienced the greatest increase.
Now, part of that is those women were the hardest-core consumers of purportedly-harmless non-ionizing radiation. However we must also give a shout-out to their addiction to sunscreen, which drives skin cancer. But you’ll have to read my separate article on the subject to learn why.
Thyroid cancer increased 140 percent from 1973 to 2002, showing the deadly effect of microwave ovens, high tension power lines, microwave television transmissions, and countless other sources of purportedly harmless non-ionizing radiation.
In January 1997, the Oxford Academic Journal said “The high rates of Thyroid Cancer in the Pacific islands tend to affect all ethnic groups, although considerably more so native (Polynesian, Melanesian) than European (white). Environmental radiation, however, does not appear to be a likely explanation for the high rates of thyroid cancer.”
They’re using conscious deception while retaining the firmness of purpose that goes with complete honesty to suggest that the radiation that has been proven to drive Thyroid cancer was not, in fact driving Thyroid cancer. In 1997 in Polynesia, it was mostly ionizing radiation left over from Atomic bomb testing that was driving the high levels of Thyroid cancer there.
Thyroid cancer mortality increased over 200% from 1970 to 2017.
Women are three times as likely to develop Thyroid cancer than men.
In 2006, Researchers at the National Institute of Health concluded the increase in Thyroid cancer was simply a result of “increased diagnostic scrutiny.”
That’s the tirelessly played “increased awareness” ruse. The State propaganda organ knows that the subconscious of many or most readers will grasp virtually any straw, no matter how thin, to remain off the hook of personal responsibility.
In February 2007, health.harvard.edu said “By the way, doctor: How does radiation cause thyroid cancer”, and went on to say “Compared to many other organs, the thyroid gland is particularly sensitive to certain types of radiation.”
They’re fighting a brave rearguard action, trying to convince you that the non-ionizing radiation coming out of your phone, TV, microwave oven and wireless router is completely harmless.
Harvard is a State propaganda mouthpiece, using conscious deception while retaining the firmness of purpose that goes with complete honesty.
DECREASING FERTILITY
Pregnancy rates for teens 14 and under decreased 67% from 1990 to 2015.
Pregnancy rates for teens 15-19 decreased 50% from 1990 to 2015.
Time said “The study wasn’t designed to determine cause, so the authors won’t speculate on reasons for the drops.
MISCARRIAGE
Women with higher measured exposure levels of magnetic field non-ionizing radiation have a risk of miscarriage nearly three times higher than those with the lowest measured exposure levels.
If: women with higher measured exposure levels of magnetic field non-ionizing radiation have a risk of miscarriage nearly three times higher than those with the lowest measured exposure levels
And:
And: So-called “smart” phones emit magnetic field non-ionizing radiation
Then: So-called “smart” phones are driving a drastic increase in miscarriages
The number of Swedish women who have experienced three or more miscarriages in a row increased 58% in the last eighteen years.
MATERNAL AND INFANT MORTALITY
More women die from pregnancy complications in the U.S. than in any other developed country, and the maternal mortality rate is rapidly increasing. The maternal mortality rate for Millennial women in the U.S. has more than doubled since the baby-boom generation, from 7.5 deaths per 100,000 live births to 19.2.
The infant mortality rate in the U.K. increased 2.8% from 2015 to 2016.
In 2018, infant mortality increased in the U.K. for the third consecutive year.
In July 2018, Healio widened its eyes to simulate honesty and assured “Miscarriage increases risk for dementia”, basing that upon “Dementia risk increased 8% with each additional report of a miscarriage”.
It’s a perverted Satanic inversion. The truth being that the purportedly-harmless non-ionizing radiation driving the increased miscarriages is also driving increased dementia.
MORTALITY
Overall mortality for 25 year old white women in the U.S. increased 45% from 1994 to 2014. While overall mortality for 25 year old white men increased 29% during the same time period. The increase in overall mortality for 25 year old white women was far higher than that of males the same age because those women logged far more hours on their devices.
The decrease in life expectancy at birth in females in the EU in 2014 was 32% higher than that of males.
In 2015, the life expectancy decrease for females in the European Union at age 65 was 16% higher than that of males of the same age.
Female college students spend an average of 10 hours a day on their cell phones, while male students spend nearly eight. Thus female college students spent 25% more time each day on their phones.
In 2017, life expectancy in the U.S. decreased for the second consecutive year. In 2018, life expectancy in the U.S. decreased for the third consecutive year.
The mortality rate in the U.K. increased 12.4% in the first seven weeks of 2018, year-over-year. The Conversation said “No official explanation from government health officials for this sharp rise in mortality has been forthcoming.”
They used “rise” because it’s general. As you may recall, generality is a hallmark of propaganda. The author is blunting specific insight into the magnitude of the technology-driven increase in mortality in the U.K. “Rise” is also used because it’s softer than “increase”, and also as a thinly-veiled reference to the Atonist Black-Sun cult that’s ruled things in all the nations all the way back to Babylon, and before.
In January 2018, Vox.com said “What the dip in US life expectancy is really about: inequality”.
Where the gentle word “dip” is used to describe an historically unprecedented third straight year of decrease in life expectancy in the U.S., that decrease driven by technology, versus “inequality”, as falsely alleged.
In January 2018, Vox.com said “Life expectancy plummets in parts of UK, data reveals – Experts suggest decline in longevity in post-industrial towns has direct correlation with ‘public service cuts and austerity’
Vox.com plays that the decrease in life expectancy is only in PARTS of the U.K., and certainly takes care not to mention that life expectancy in the U.S. is decreasing, as well, at the same time. That’s an example of the propaganda technique known as “compartmentalization”.
In February 2018, USA Today explained “U.S. life expectancy drops again due to drugs, alcohol, suicide”.
Can you see how they put the major driver of the increase, suicide, to the last? And that directly in the face of exponentially decreasing drug and alcohol consumption regardless of culture or geography.
Alcohol consumption in the US alcohol decreased for the second straight year in 2018. Teen drug use in the U.S. decreased 45% from 2013 to 2018. Teen drug use in the U.S. was at an all-time low in 2018.
I’ve exposed the duplicity of USA Today through what was known in the old days as “fact checking”.
Can you see how USA Today hedged “for the third straight year” back to the general “drops AGAIN”?
USA Today is an organ of the State, fighting a desperate rearguard action against the realization that technology is driving decreased life expectancy regardless of culture or geography.
In May 2018, aarp.org said “U.S. Life Expectancy Will Likely Decline For Third Straight Year”.
The AARP article didn’t make any mention of the fact that life expectancy in the U.K. was decreasing at the same moment.
Both vox.com and the AARP are organs of the State, denying in lock-step the technology-driven decrease in life expectancy being seen regardless of culture or geography.
VEHICULAR HOMICIDE
64% of all the road accidents in the United States have a smart phone involved in them. 25% of car accidents in the United States are caused by texting and driving.
Phone addicts spend 28% of their driving time actively ignoring the road. Of those considered phone addicts, 93% said they are “pretty safe” or “extremely safe” drivers.
Pedestrian deaths in the U.S. increased 53% from 2008 to 2018.
Men drive about 30% more miles than women, yet women are implicated in over 70% of car accidents. That’s because the number of women who use their phones more than 6 hours a day is twice that of men who did the same, and the phone addiction rate among US teen females is 150% higher than that of males.
Car crashes in Florida increased 73% from 2011 to 2016. In July 2017, “Curbed” said that the U.S. traffic death “increase” was “caused by speeding.”
Traffic tickets written by troopers in Florida decreased 23% from 2011 to 2016.
SUICIDE
Web-addicted individuals have a 65 percent higher rate of psychiatric morbidity. That’s why, after decades of stasis, the overdose rate for women more than quadrupled from 1999 to 2017.
Roughly one in five smart phone users will become addicted and have serious behavioral problems. That’s why the suicide rate in the U.S. increased 33% from 1999 to 2017. If we take 1998 as the beginning of “wireless technology”, then a non-ionizing radiation-driven increase in suicide rates appeared just a year later, in 1999.
25% of students who used social media for more than two hours per day reported suicidal ideation. Newsweek describe it as “Two Hours of Social Media a Day Linked to Suicidal Thoughts in Teens”.
While teenagers who spend 5 hours a day on electronic devices are 71% more likely to have suicide risk factors than those with one-hour use. And It was the time spent on the device, not the content, that mattered most.
You can see how the rate of suicidal ideation increases with hours of use, from 25% at two hours a day, up to 71% at five hours a day.
That’s why the total mortality rate from unintentional injury increased in the US by 11 percent from 1999-2005. “Far larger increases were seen in some subgroups analyzed by researchers.” White women between 45 and 64 years old experienced a 230 percent increase in the rate of poisoning mortalityover the study period. White men in this age group experienced an increase of 137 percent.”
The white people most addicted to technology having exponentially higher rates of poisoning themselves than the general populace.
Internet addicts have a 47% higher rate of suicidal thoughts within a week, a 23 percent higher rate of lifetime suicide attempts, and a 5 percent higher rate of suicides attempt within a year. That’s why suffocation — mostly hangings — as a suicide method increased 89% among the general population from 1999 to 2015, while increasing 157% for white women during that time period. The Washington Post said “experts struggled to pinpoint a reason”.
The suicide rate in the US increased 24% from 1999 to 2014, from 10.5 deaths per 100,000 people in 1999 to 13 deaths per 100,000 people in 2014. Business Insider said that the suicide rate in the U.S. had “risen sharply during the last 15 years”, and called the 24% increase “stunning”.
The words “mystery”, “baffled” and “puzzled” are memes, used, among numerous similar variants, whenever anyone in the wholly-controlled-and-coopted Political, Academic, Scientific and Media establishments wants to lie about, well, basically anything. Thats why Business Insider said “It’s hard to say for sure, but research has shown that increased rates of financial stress might partially explain why so many more middle-aged Americans turned to suicide during this time period. Women aged 45-64 especially had a significant increase in suicides over the 15-year period.”
Excess smartphone and social media use are linked to mental distress and suicide risk. That’s why the suicide rate in the ten highest smart phone penetration nations is 50% higher than that in ten lowest smart phone penetration nations.
The highest smartphone penetration nation in the world, South Korea, has the worlds highest suicide rate among females and the third highest suicide rate in the wold among males. Berkeley.edu said “For years, social scientists have puzzled over why this economically successful state has such startlingly high suicide rates.” Salon.com said it was because of “cultural mores”.
DECREASING USE OF SO-CALLED “SMART” PHONES
In 2011, the World Health Organization classified mobile phone radiation as a group 2B carcinogen, which means it is possibly harmful to humans.
In September 2011, Bright Hub explained “Why is the iPhone Not Cool Anymore? It’s a Dad Phone!”
There’s a strict rule in journalism, where you don’t use proper names unless there’s a salient reason to do so. Thus this is a hit-piece on Apple, and a commercial for Samsung.
Cheeringly, we can see here how, a decade ago, kids were already waking up to the fact that cell phones are evil. I’d note that the phenomenon first appears here in 2011, 2012, right when the great positive changes I’m documenting here got underway in earnest.
In 2013, mobile phone sales dropped for the first time since 2009.
Households with mobile service but no smartphones increased 7% from 2017 to 2019, as readoption of flip phones doubled among households earning over $100K/year.
The total volume of calls made on mobile phones decreased 1.7% from 2016 to 2017, the first ever such decrease.
International sales of so-called “smart” phones decreased 0.5% during 2017 – the first such decline since the smartphone became a recognized product.
Smart phone sales in Egypt dropped 50% in 2017. Daily News Egypt said the decrease occurred “after flotation”.
The sales of the Chinese smartphone makers Oppo and Vivo dropped for the first time in India in July 2017, by 30%, year-over-year.
Book sales in the U.K. reached their highest level in history in 2017, increasing 6% year-over-year. Children’s book sales in the U.K. increased 16% in 2017, year-over-year. Sales of ebooks in the U.K. decreased 3% in 2017.
Sales of ebooks in Ghana decreased by some unspecified degree in 2017.
In 2017, AT&T said that smartphone sales had become so unpredictable that it would no longer provide a forecast for the company’s total revenue for 2017.
Gartner said that international sales of smartphones increased 9% in the 1st Quarter of 2017. This while Samsung smartphone sales dropped 50% in China in the 1st Quarter of 2017, to their lowest level in five years.
iPhone sales decreased by .78% in the second quarter of 2017, year over year. CEO Tim Cook blamed the Apple’s sales drop on “press leaks”.
Apple’s stock dropped more than 2% in May 2017.
International smartphone shipments dropped 1.3% in the 2nd Quarter of 2017 year-over-year.
Smartphone sales in India dropped 4% in the 2nd Quarter of 2017.
In May 2017 doctors in Denver, Colorado sought to ban smartphone sales to preteens.
Smart phone sales in Brazil dropped 2% in the third quarter of 2017. The IDC said the decrease occurred “as consumers save for Black Friday and Christmas”.
In July 2017 the Samsung Galaxy S8 smart phone was selling 20% below 2016’s S7.
International sales of so-called “smart” phones decreased by 5.6% in the fourth quarter of 2017, year-over-year. CNBC.com said “Smartphone sales are slowing and here are two key reasons why”. Those reasons being “Consumers are holding on to their phones longer and are also increasingly unimpressed with the frequency and diversity of new models, experts have suggested.”
In October 2017, Essential dropped the price of their smartphone by $200.
Smartphone use “fell” among the young for first time in October 2017.
An opinion piece from October 2017 said “Flip phones are the smart substitute to smart phones”. That same month, another article said “John Stockton, Karl Malone and their flip phones hung out together”, noting “Karl Malone is a staunch proponent of the flip phone, going back to an interview in 2014.”
The Taiwanese smartphone-maker HTC’s shared price dropped over 8% in November 2017, “Google sale report” blamed.
International sales of so-called “smart” phones decreased 4.1% in 2018, to 1.4 billion units total.
Apple’s stock dropped 6% in November 2018. The corporation lost tens of billions of dollars in market value.
In January, 2018, the terrifyingly-named scarymommy.com said “I Don’t Want To Be A Smartphone Zombie Anymore.”
In January 2018, CNET widened its eyes to simulate honesty and explained “Why your iPhone and Android phone will cost more in 2019”. Like the soft drink manufacturers, they’re turning the screws to their permanently-shrinking customer base. The propagandist at CNET to make no mention of the fact that sales of so-called “smart” phones had just decreased the previous quarter for the first time since the invention of the devices.
In January 2018, the New York Times said “Tech Backlash Grows as Investors Press Apple to Act on Children’s Use”.
Where the propagandist gymnastically used the words “Tech” and “Use” to avoid saying the word “smartphone”. That’s to obey the international news blackout that’s in place on the collapse of the repugnant device.
The article went on to say “A creator of the iPhone called the device ‘addictive.’ A Twitter founder said the ‘internet is broken.’ An early Facebook investor raised questions about the social network’s impact on children’s brains.
Can you see how “a creator”, “a Twitter founder” and “an early Facebook investor” are all general? As you may recall, generality is a hallmark of propaganda.
The unnamed Twitter founder says the problem is “the Internet”…versus the truth: that it’s the sea of purportedly-harmless non-ionizing radiation that drives it.
The unnamed FB investor says the problem is “the social network” that is having some general, unspecified “impact” on children’s brains….versus the truth: that it’s the sea of purportedly-harmless non-ionizing radiation that drives it.
The article continues: “Now, two of the biggest investors on Wall Street have asked Apple to study the health effects of its products and to make it easier for parents to limit their children’s use of iPhones and iPads.”
Where “two of the biggest investors” is, once again, general. Why is just one company being asked to study the health effects of its products? It’s blatant anti-Apple propaganda. The bizarre inference is that phones from other manufacturer’s aren’t bad for you, like Apple’s are.
In February 2018, the international smartphone market dropped for the first time in history, by a staggering 9%, year-over-year.
In February 2018, Vox said “Break up with your smartphone”, and that “advocacy groups, psychologists, are saying to get rid of it.”
It’s a hit-piece trying to keep you from figuring out that your TV, laptop, and all the rest of it are driven by the same deadly non-ionizing radiation that is used by your so-called “smart” phone, Preciouss.
Can you see how “advocacy groups” is completely general? What, or whom, are they even talking about? Can you see how psychologists are mentioned, versus Doctors? Like it’s a “you’re crazy” problem, not “the shit will take down anyone who partakes of it”.
In March 2018, the U.K.’s Guardian said “I’ve decided to reclaim my life – by using an old Nokia phone”.
It’s a hit-piece, a desperate rearguard action trying to keep you from ditching any phone. Trying to “compartmentalize” it…to keep you from figuring out that your TV, laptop, and all the rest of it are driven by the same deadly non-ionizing radiation that is used by your so-called “smart” phone, Preciouss.
In March 2018, Quora asked “Why Are Smartphone Sales Declining Worldwide?”
Quora said only generally that “the smartphone market is showing signs of stagnation”.
Stagnation - noun - lack of activity, growth, or development.
Quora attributed the unspecified decrease in sales to “higher costs for incremental improvements, people keeping their current phones or buying cheaper models.”
Buying cheaper models would not have any impact on overall unit sales, of course. But it doesn’t matter that the plausible-deniability excuses are illogical, irrational, or threadbare. The propagandist knows that many or most readers will grasp virtually any straw, no matter how thin, to remain off the hook of personal responsibility.
Smartphone shipments decreased 6% in the 3rd quarter of 2018. IDC said “the Leading Vendor and the Largest Market Face Challenges”.
In May 2018, wbir.com said “2nd graders tells teacher they wish mom, dad would get off the phone”, and that “I hate my mom’s phone and I wish she never had one,” one student … I wish my mom’s phone wasn’t invented, 2nd grader writes in school”.
Can you see how the author carefully used “wish” in the headline, and hid “hate” in the body text?
It’s a hit-piece, to keep the NPR-addicted masses of phone-addicted adults from clucking to themselves that at least the school kids are not, in fact, addicted to their so-called “smart” phones - which in fact they are. The propagandist knows that many or most readers will grasp virtually any straw, no matter how thin, to remain off the hook of personal responsibility.
It takes the larger, wider problem of a deadly sea of non-ionizing radiation and “compartmentalizes” it down to merely “mom and dad”, and only to the smartphones of the parents, not all their other gear. TV. Video games. Microwave oven. Laptop. Wi-Fi.
In August 2018, emarketer.com described “The Love-Hate Relationship Between Teens and Their Smartphones”, and explained “It seems like teenagers would appreciate taking a break from their smartphones, if only they knew how.”
It’s a hit-piece, to keep the NPR-addicted masses of phone addicted adults from clucking to themselves that they are not, in fact, addicted to their so-called “smart” phones, like those dumb, lame teens sure are. The propagandist knows that many or most readers will grasp virtually any straw, no matter how thin, to remain off the hook of personal responsibility.
It takes the larger, wider problem of a deadly sea of non-ionizing radiation and “compartmentalizes” it down to merely teens, and only the smartphones of those teens, not all their other gear. TV. Video games. Microwave oven. Laptop. Wi-Fi. Oh, and the teens will only take one small break, and then get right back to it.
In September 2018, Thriveglobal.com said “Downgrade Your Smartphone to a Flip Phone For a BetterLife”, and that “In college I downgraded my smartphone to a flip phone. Here’s why I’m never going back”.
It’s a hit-piece, part of a rearguard action to try to keep you from getting rid of a cell phone completely.
In October 2018, CNET said “Your kids hate your smartphone addiction”.
It’s a bizarre reverse-psychology hit-piece, just like the ones we reviewed previously. It’s to get you to think that neither your kids nor everyone else’s are addicted to their phones.
In October 2018, DeviceAtlas explained “The truth about ‘peak smartphone’ “, and that “A growing numberof smartphone refuseniks have pushed smartphone fatigue into the realms of a fully-fledged backlash.”
Ah, the ad hominem personal attack, a sure sign someone has lost a debate. The word ‘Refusenik’ has a straight-up “Commie!” inference about it. “Into the reams of a fully-fledged backlash hedges it back a step from “have pushed smartphone fatigue into a fully-fledged backlash”. In propaganda, the insertion of that hedging generality is called “watering it down”.
In October 2018, Forbes explained “The Truth About Smartphone Addiction, And How To Beat It”.
They’re playing like the 54% of US teens addicted to their phones were all somehow looking at it the wrong way, or hadn’t had the proper methods of addiction avoidance explained to them previously.
The author continues: “I’m not saying we should get rid of smartphones and cancel our WiFi. There’s nothing wrong with using the technology available to us.”
It’s not the technology that’s fucked up, you see, but rather it’s YOU, loser.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped 600 points in November 2018, with Apple leading the tech rout.
Apple’s shares decreased 11.5% from November 1st to November 12, 2018.
On November 12, 2018, as the headline to an article documenting the largest drop in the corporation’s history, Mercury News widened its eyes to simulate honesty and asked “Is Apple seeing an iPhone sales drop?” “Seeing” a drop “walks it back” a step from Apple experiencing that drop.
In November 2018, The Star Online’s Tech News widened its eyes to simulate honesty and asked “AreAmericans addicted to smartphones***?***”
Can you see how the hit-piece “compartmentalizes” the international addiction to technology merely to the U.S.?
The Star is an Organ of the State, using conscious deception while retaining the firmness of purpose that goes with complete honesty to aver that they don’t know that 54% of US teens are addicted to their smartphones.
In December 2018, appleinsider.com explained “Why Apple is now focusing on users, not units in Fiscal 2019”.
They’ll ride the collapsing scam for years or perhaps decades, just like the folks selling soda, particularly diet soda. Language is very instructive: people addicted to heroin are also called users. “Are you using?”
In December 2018, a solid year into the collapse of the so-called “smartphone” market, Medium.com fought a desperate rearguard action with “Smartphones Are the New Security Blanket for Kids”, and “Their phones can help them feel connected to their friends and more importantly, to their stable identity. Let’s not shame them for these”.
The author takes care not to mention that, in 2011, the World Health Organization classified mobile phone radiation as a group 2B carcinogen, which means it is possibly harmful to humans.
Medium.com is using conscious deception with the firmness of purpose that goes with complete honesty to aver that they don’t know that cancer increased 40% in young people in the U.K. from 2000 to 2016. 2000 was right when the literal forest of what is purported merely to be “communication infrastructure” was thrown up suddenly in all the nations. Using a generalization and a half-truth, the U.K.’s Telegraph said “Modern life is killing our children”.
The words “mystery”, “baffled” and “puzzled” are memes, used, among numerous similar variants, whenever anyone in the wholly-controlled-and-coopted Political, Academic, Scientific and Media establishments wants to lie about, well, basically anything. That’s why a New York Times article from June 1991 is headlined “Study Finds Mysterious Rise In Childhood Cancer Rate”.
In December 2018, Nikkei.com said “Huawei defies smartphone downturn with ‘stable’ forecast”, and that “Huawei Technologies is expecting the global mobile market to be “stable” in 2019, in stark contrast to growing pessimism from rivals”.
The author plays that everybody but Huawei just has a “bad attitude”. I wish them the best of luck if that’s the strongest defense they can muster.
International sales of so-called “smart” phones decreased 3.2% in 2019. It was the third consecutive year of decreasing sales. So much for Hauwei’s “stable” forecast.
Flip phone sales increased 5% in 2019, increasing for four consecutive quarters, comprising roughly a quarter of all phones shipped.
In 2019, 48% of Japanese aged 10-19 said they had thought about living without a “smart” phone, the highest percentage among all age groups polled.
International sales of so-called “smart” phones decreased 12.5% in 2020. That’s an average decrease of 3.1% per quarter over each of those four quarters.
2020 was the fourth consecutive year of decreasing smartphone sales.
Smartphone sales decreased 13% in the 1st Quarter of 2020, year-over-year. It was the first time since 2014 that the market had dropped below 300 million units in a quarter.
CounterpointResearch said that “the impact of COVID-19 on the supply side of smartphones and components could leave OEMs to diversify their supply chain by moving some production to countries like India and Vietnam.”
“The great enemy of clear language is insincerity. When there is a gap between one’s real and one’s declared aims, one turns, as it were, instinctively to long words and exhausted idioms, like a cuttlefish squirting out ink.”
From “Politics and the English Language”, by George Orwell, 1946
International sales of so-called “smart” phone decreased 20% in the second quarter of 2020. A CNET article from August 2020 said it was “due to coronavirus”. As if a fifth of the population had been killed off, and rendered unable to use their otherwise-indispensable phones. Or as if being locked in their houses due to the barely-covert international release of a Chinese bat-virus with four amino acids added for improved transmissibility to humans would somehow make 20% of the populace suddenly unwilling or unable to have Amazon ship a new phone to their house in a nice blue box.
A Tech Crunch article from November 2020 is headlined “Gartner: Q3 smartphone sales down 5.7% to 366 million, slicing COVID-19 declines in Q1, Q2”. Can you see how they bravely avoided saying “smartphone sales down 5.7% in Q3, the thirteenth straight quarter of decreasing smart phone sales”?
You can clearly see in the data above that sales of so-called “smart” phones, claimed to be the most important and beneficial invention in the history of humankind, were dropping steeply well prior to the barely-covert international release of a Chinese bat virus with four amino acids added for improved transmissibility to humans.
International sales of so-called “smart” phones decreased 5% in the fourth quarter of 2020.
Because there’s literally no quit in these people, a Gartner article from February 2021 is headlined “Gartner Says Worldwide Smartphone Sales to Grow 11% in 2021.
The article goes on to say “After recording a 10.5% decline in 2020 due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the industry, smartphone sales are forecast to rebound in 2021.”
The author spoke of “recording a 10.5% decline ” to give the subconscious of the reader the green light to say “oh, but someone must have recorded that incorrectly!” The propagandist knows that many or most readers will grasp virtually any straw, no matter how thin, to remain off the hook of personal responsibility. But that’s all a sidebar, because I brought it up to point out that, just three weeks later, Gartner said “Smartphone sales declined 12.5% in full year 2020”.
Coincidence Theorists can meet amongst themselves and discuss how and why those two numbers differed so widely in those two articles.
I’m sure you noticed that, in both articles, the propagandist from Gartner took care to use the word “decline”, because it’s softer than “drop”, or “decrease”, and because it reminds you of the word “recline”. Also “declines” are gradual.
Eventually, a far more free flowing book will evolve from these highly-repetitive initial articles. Yet it’s crucial for the programmed mind to see and intellectually assimilate the ongoing use of identical linguistic propaganda practices down through time. The programming is laid in iteratively, and will be broken down in the same way it was laid in. Actually, I’m fixing the intentionally embedded bugs in the code, as it were.
We’re powering into the fourth straight year of decreasing smart phone sales, and the evil clowns who would have you think they’re the most important and beneficial invention in the history of humankind are predicting they’re going to start selling again like gangbusters, just you wait and see.
I think it’s obvious who’s winning this thing.
