“Life, if you looked about you, bore no resemblance not only to the lies that streamed out of the telescreens, but even to the ideals that the Party was trying to achieve.”

From “1984”, by George Orwell, 1949

From the 1st Quarter of 2025 to the 2nd Quarter of 2026, smartphone sales in the United States decreased by 5%, or by 2.01 million units, from 33.4 million units to 31.73 million units.

An uncredited author from idc.com said it was “driven by the shortage of DRAM and NAND memory components and weaker demand”.

From the 2nd Quarter of 2025 to the 2nd Quarter of 2026, per Counterpoint Research, US smartphone sales decreased by 5%, to some blacked-out number. I did the math, it was 31.73 million units.

Smartphone sales are decreasing exponentially regardless of culture or geography because the health of the ether is inexorably improving, and moral and mental health vary directly with the health of the ether.

The populace has recognized that technology has been weaponized against it.

From the 4th Quarter of 2025 to the 1st Quarter of 2026, international smartphone sales decreased by 14%, or by 47.3 million units, from 337 million units to 289.7 million units.

Roic.ai’s Lila Merrick said “The immediate driver is an unusual economic mechanism: AI data-center build-outs are consuming substantial memory supply, particularly DRAM, NAND, and high-bandwidth memory. That demand has tightened supply and raised prices, leaving smartphone manufacturers—especially lower-margin brands—facing higher bills of materials and limited ability to absorb costs”.

“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 spurting out ink.”

― From “Politics and the English Language”, by George Orwell, 1946

Lila is using an example of the propaganda technique known as “the big lie”.

Here’s a picture of roic.ai Editor Lila Merrick, where her left eye is the focal point of the image, and where she’s making the purportedly-secret Masonic “pointing finger” gesture with her right hand.

Now here are a variety of 19th Century depictions of purportedly-secret Masonic “gestures of recognition”, including the pointing-finger gesture being used by roic.ai Editor Lila Merrick in the photo immediately above.

Lila’s profile on roic.ai says that she’s written 1,282 articles on roic.ai in the last year. For those keeping score that’s 3.5 articles per day.

For any who might think that I cherry-picked the image to present her in the worst possible light, I would note that this image is her avatar from roic.ai. And, curiously, there is not a single other picture of her online.

Her age, general level of maturity and demeanor and the sheer volume of the articles which she has published all make it easy to conclude that she is a front for a stable of propagandists from the Ministry of Truth.

I have included Lila Merrick’s picture so that you could get a better idea of what a generational Satanist Freemason of marginal influence looks like.

They are all related to one another through the maternal bloodline. Generational Satanists comprise between twenty and thirty percent of the populace, and are hiding in plain sight in every city, town and village on Earth. It’s how the few have controlled the many all the way back to Babylon, and before.

But they say that the hardest part of solving a problem is recognizing that you have one.

Don Croft used to say “Parasites fear exposure above all else”.

How long do you think that these people have left in power, now?

Please consider doing what you can to speed the transition.
