It was terribly dangerous to let your thoughts wander when you were in any public place or within range of a telescreen. The smallest thing could give you away. A nervous tic, an unconscious look of anxiety, a habit of muttering to yourself – anything that carried with it the suggestion of abnormality, of having something to hide. In any case, to wear an improper expression on your face (to look incredulous when a victory was announced, for example) was itself a punishable offense. There was even a word for it in Newspeak: facecrime, it was called.
From “1984”, by George Orwell, 1949
It’s January 2023, and the populace has recognized that technology has been weaponized against it.
Witness the collapse of the repugnant “smart speaker”.

THE ARTICLES
On December 15, 2021, hypebot.com explained “How decline in smart speaker sales hurts radio”.
Where author Fred Jacobs wrote “decline in smart speaker sales” because, as a propagandist, he knows that seventy percent of readers only read the headlines, and their hedging generality goes a long way toward “compartmentalizing” awareness of the scope of the exponential decrease in wearable technology consumption that he’s attempting to obfuscate. It’s an example of the propaganda technique known as “compartmentalization”.
In journalistic parlance, Fred used the time-honored propaganda technique of “burying” the data in a separate table. If 70% of readers only read the headlines, what percentage do you think make it to the tables? It’s an example of the propaganda technique known as “compartmentalization”.
Here’s the table:

Despite getting paid cash money to hype robots for a company called “Hypebot” for a living, author Fred Jacobs refused to do any analysis on the smart speaker data in the table. That’s another example of the propaganda technique known as "compartmentalization. So, I had to do the math.
From 2017 to 2018, smart speaker market penetration increased by 90%, from 11% to 21%.
From 2018 to 2019, smart speaker market penetration increased by 29%, from 21% to 27%.
In 2019, the 29% increase in smart speaker market penetration was 68% less than its 90% increase from 2017 to 2018.
In 2020, smart speaker market penetration increased by 22%, year-over-year, from 27% to 33%.
In 2020, the 22% increase in smart speaker market penetration was 24% less than its 29% increase in 2019.
In 2021, smart speaker market penetration increased by 6%, year-over-year, from 33% to 35%.
In 2021, the 6% increase in smart speaker market penetration was 72% less than its 22% increase in 2020.
Here’s Fred’s second (and did I mention, non-searchable) table:

In 2021, 36% of those polled did not own a smart speaker because they had no use for one.
In 2021, 32% of those polled did not own a smart speaker because of privacy concerns.
In 2021, 7% of those polled did not own a smart speaker because they had too much technology in their life.
On February 23, 2022, omdia.tech.informa.com said “Omdia: Sharp drop in 2021 Amazon Alexa shipments drove smart speaker market ‘correction’.”
Where the uncredited author wrote “sharp drop” and "market ‘correction’ " because, as a propagandist, they know that seventy percent of readers only read the headlines, and their hedging generality goes a long way toward “compartmentalizing” awareness of the scope of the exponential decrease in smart speaker sales that he’s attempting to obfuscate. It’s an example of the propaganda technique known as “compartmentalization”.
Did you notice how they put “correction” into quotes, to call it into question?
For those unaware, anytime an author is uncredited, it is proof that said author is an Intelligence operative.
The article goes on to say “Further analysis from the report show the U.S. smart speaker market ended 2021 as down nearly 30% in terms of total shipments relative to 2020. This was predominantly due to a nearly 51% drop in Amazon Alexa smart speaker shipments in 2021 compared to the prior year.”
In 2021, U.S. smart speaker sales decreased by 30%, year-over-year.
In 2021, Amazon Alexa smart speaker sales decreased by 51%, year-over-year.
In February 2022, directly in the face of exponentially-decreasing Amazon smart speaker sales, PC Magazine widened its eyes to simulate honesty and said “Amazon-Powered Smart Speakers See Big 2021”.
Where author Michael Kan wrote “big 2021” because, as a propagandist, he knows that seventy percent of readers only read the headlines, and his hedging generality goes a long way toward “compartmentalizing” awareness of the scope of the exponential decrease in smart speaker sales that he’s bald-facedly lying to obfuscate. It’s an example of the propaganda technique known as “the Big Lie”.
I have exposed his duplicity by using what was known in the old days as “fact checking”.
Here’s Michael Kan’s picture, in a Satanic purple shirt, with a little highlight of Satanic green thrown in in the background:

(PC Magazine’s Michael Kan, who called a 51% decrease in Amazon Alexa smart speaker sales in 2021 " a big 2021". He’s wearing a Satanic purple shirt, and carefully included a Satanic green highlight over his left shoulder. He also lit the image so that his left eye is highlighted. That’s because, to followers of the Left-hand path like Michael, the left eye is the “eye of Will” or “the eye of Horus”. He figured that the rubes would never notice all the coded visual imagery.)
I have included his photograph so that you could get a better idea of what a generational Satanist in a position of marginal influence looks like.
They are all related to one another through the maternal bloodline. They 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”.
On November 22, 2022, appleinsider.com said “Amazon Alexa bled $10 billion in cash in 2022”.
Where author Malcolm Owen wrote “bled $10 billion in cash” because, as a propagandist, he knows that seventy percent of readers only read the headlines, and their hedging generality goes a long way toward “compartmentalizing” awareness of the scope of the exponential decrease in smart speaker sales that he’s attempting to obfuscate. It’s an example of the propaganda technique known as “compartmentalization”.
Even though Malcom doesn’t give anything to compare it to, losing ten billion dollars with a ‘b’
Amazon is expected to lay off around 10,000 employees, and while those job cuts will be all over the organization, one team that is set to be hit will be Amazon’s “Worldwide Digital” unit, which covers products including the Echo smart speaker line, Alexa, and Prime Video. According to Business Insider, Alexa and general hardware teams are now the big focus of layoffs.
The targeting of the digital assistant and hardware teams is likely due to Worldwide Digital having an operating loss of over $3 billion in the first quarter of 2022, internal data indicates. A source clarified that the majority of the unit’s losses were related to Alexa and other devices."
In the 1st Quarter of 2022, Amazon’s Worldwide Digital Business Unit lost over $3 billion. The majority of the losses were related to “Alexa and other devices”.
The article goes on to say “Worldwide Digital has been expensive for Amazon, with it costing the company approximately $5 billion in 2018, and it’s on track to lose about $10 billion in 2022.”
In 2022, Amazon’s Worldwide Digital business unit, which produced the Alexa smart speaker, lost $10 billion. Apple Insider described it as “expensive for Amazon”.
