“Unless a man becomes the enemy of an evil, he will not even become its slave but rather its champion.”
― G.K. Chesterton
It’s January 2020, and great, epochal positive changes are underway at every level of our reality. They began in earnest in 2012 and have been increasing in speed and magnitude since.
I’ve subjectively concluded that those changes are being driven by untold thousands of simple, inexpensive Orgonite devices based on Wilhelm Reich’s work. Those devices are collectively unknitting and transforming the ancient Death energy matrix that’s been patiently built and expanded by our about-to-be-former Dark masters, well, all the way back to Babylon and before. And the Ether is returning to its ages-long natural state of health and vitality.
One of those changes is that humanity has recognized that technology has been weaponized against it.
How could I possibly say such a thing, about the most important invention in the history of mankind? An invention so crucial that every citizen is mandated to spend a thousand dollars on one, regardless of their class, upbringing, or financial circumstances.
I’m saying it because the suicide rate in the US has risen 40% over the last 17 years. That statistic is in an article I’ve appended below.
Well, geez, that’s a head-scratcher. What suddenly changed in a significant way for everyone in the U.S. around 2002, 2003, and has remained consistent in everyone’s lives, since? It’s as if there were something in the air .
“The era of the Smart phone in America really began in 2002.” That’s from another article that I’ve appended below.
Yet another is headlined “The History of Wi-Fi”. It reads “Getting Stronger - In 2003, faster speeds and distance coverage of the earlier WiFi versions combined to make the 802.11g standard . Routers were getting better too, with higher power and further coverage than ever before . WiFi was beginning to catch up – competing with the speed of the fastest wired connections.”
It’s not rocket science, people. It is, however, a form of Black magic.
An interlayered suite of technology that drives exponentially increasing suicidal ideation, en masse .
The technological “magic” of a wholly-pervasive, generally-suicide-inducing cloud of non-ionizing radiation, along with a companion device, that everyone is required to carry, which collects Death energy from that cloud and delivers it directly to the skull.
In one study I’ve appended below, teens who spent five or more hours a day online were found to be 71% more likely to have at least one suicide risk factor than those who spent less than an hour a day online.
That study hedged generally by saying that “suicide risk factors rise significantly after two or more hours a day of time online.” They have the numbers “buried” in a table, where they are presented in a complex statistical language that is at best difficult to understand.
A second study below, from Korea, says “The use of a smartphone was significantly associated with suicide attempts in a multiple logistic regression analysis (adjusted odds ratio for smartphone use 5 h or more a day 2.16)”.
Two different studies showing that Smart phones make you want to kill yourself by orders of magnitude more as their use increases.
Can you see how the authors of both studies hedged with the same general word, " significantly ", to avoid writing a specific and far more impactful percentage?
The Korea study continues: “The results showed the proportion of girls, living in a large city, with middle-to-low family economic status, with less than 6 h of sleep, with high subjective stress levels, with current alcohol consumption, with current cigarette smoking, and having experienced violence, became significantly higher as the quartile of smartphone use time increased (all P < 0.001).”
In the preceding paragraph, we learned that urban girls who are addicted to their phones are driven by those phones to stress, drinking, smoking, sleeplessness, and unconsciously inviting violence . We also saw another use of " significant " as a hedging generality.
“Adverse consequences of smartphone use, including conflicts with family, conflicts with friends, and poor academic performance, showed significant associations with the amount of spent time on the smartphone in the logistic regression analyses.”
In the preceding paragraph, we learned, further, that “Smart” phones make relationships with everyone worse, and will also ruin your academic career. And we saw yet another use of " significant " as a hedging generality.
“Independent variables, such as conflicts with family due to smartphone use (AOR 1.41; 95% CI 1.24–1.61; P <0.001) and conflicts with friends due to smartphone use (AOR 1.50; 95% CI 1.32–1.70; P <0.001) were positively associated with suicide attempts; however, poor academic performance due to smartphone use was not (Table 4).”
And, finally, we learned that you can get over the fact that you let your soul-sucking phone ruin your academic career. But there’s no escaping the fact that you’ve destroyed your relationships with all your family and friends - all of whom tried to tell you about your phone addiction being a problem - and that unavoidably makes you want to kill yourself.
They could have spelled it out so a lay person would understand it, but instead ran with the hedging generality " positively associated", then gave you the technical numbers that I don’t understand well enough to elucidate.
series of articles is “Positive Changes That Are Occurring.” And it is my great pleasure to report that tens of millions of people are putting them aside:

Some percentage of those millions are in denial about the breakup they’re about to execute, and are holding onto their old phones, longer and longer. But I believe that most are straight-up ditching them for flip phones. It’s just there’s an international news blackout in place on the subject.

However, according to the Pew Research Center, smartphone ownership crossed the 50% threshold in late 2012 – right when teen depression and suicide began to increase . By 2015, 73% of teens had access to a smartphone.
Not only did smartphone use and depression increase in tandem , but time spent online was linked to mental health issues across two different data sets. We found that teens who spent five or more hours a day online were 71% more likely than those who spent less than an hour a day to have at least one suicide risk factor (depression, thinking about suicide, making a suicide plan or attempting suicide). Overall, suicide risk factors rose significantly after two or more hours a day of time online.

July 15, 2019 - Association between high adolescent smartphone use and academic impairment, conflicts with family members or friends, and suicide attempts
Min-Hyuk Kim, Seongho Min, Joung-Sook Ahn, Chisoo An, Jinhee Lee
The use of a smartphone was significantly associated with suicide attempts in a multiple logistic regression analysis (adjusted odds ratio for smartphone use 5 h or more a day 2.16)
Table 1 shows the descriptive characteristics according to the quartiles of length of smartphone use. The participants used a smartphone for a mean 180.12 min per day. The results showed the proportion of girls, living in a large city, with middle-to-low family economic status, with less than 6 h of sleep, with high subjective stress levels, with current alcohol consumption, with current cigarette smoking, and having experienced violence , became significantly higher as the quartile of smartphone use time increased (all P < 0.001).
Table 2 shows the smartphone usage rates according to purposes of smartphone. The time spent on social purposes was greater than that spent on process purposes. In particular, the girls were more likely to use the smartphones for social purposes at all usage levels, whereas the boys used the smartphones more for social than process purposes only when their usage was 5 or more hours a day. The ORs for using the smartphone for social purposes were 1.73 (1.71–1.75) and 2.77 (2.74–2.81) in boys and girls, respectively. Because the purpose for using the smartphone was related to the time spent on the device, we performed a sub-analysis including the purpose.
Adverse consequences of smartphone use, including conflicts with family, conflicts with friends, and poor academic performance , showed significant associations with the amount of spent time on the smartphone in the logistic regression analyses (Table 3). In both boys and girls, the associations were more prominent in smartphone use for process purposes.
Independent variables, such as conflicts with family due to smartphone use (AOR 1.41; 95% CI 1.24–1.61; P <0.001) and conflicts with friends due to smartphone use (AOR 1.50; 95% CI 1.32–1.70; P <0.001) were positively associated with suicide attempts; however, poor academic performance due to smartphone use was not (Table 4).

2020 - I Don’t Want To Be A Smartphone Zombie Anymore by Joelle Wisler
No More Smartphone Zombie: How I Am Being Present Again
I love my phone. I love how I can ask it any question and it will tell me the answer. I love how it takes pictures of my kids, allows me to get some work done at any given moment, and has the power to connect me to my friends and family wherever I am.
I hate my phone. I hate how I don’t have to think anymore because I can ask it any question and it will tell me the answer. I hate how when I take pictures of my kids, I immediately want to post them to Instagram and then I go on social media and then I’m no longer with my kids. I hate how when I hold my phone, I feel like I should be getting some work done at all times. I hate that anyone can reach me wherever I am and pull me instantly away from the art of living my life.
January 6, 2020 - Opinion | Why Are Young Americans Killing Themselves
January 23, 2020 - US suicide rate rises 40% over 17 years , with blue-collar workers at highest risk, CDC finds
In 2017, nearly 38,000 people between the ages of 16 and 64 died by suicide in the U.S., according to the CDC. The overall suicide rate rose by 40% from 12.9 per 100,000 people in 2000 to 18 per 100,000 people in 2017. In response to the rising rate, the public health institute launched the industry and occupation study to help inform suicide prevention.
“These findings highlight opportunities for targeted prevention strategies and further investigation of work-related factors that might increase risk of suicide,” the study’s authors wrote in a discussion note.
January 30, 2020 - America’s suicide rate has increased for 13 years in a row.
IN 2010 AMERICA’S Department of Health and Human Services set a goal of reducing the country’s suicide rate from 12.1 to 10.2 per 100,000 population by 2020. Instead of falling, however, the rate has climbed. On January 30th the Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), a federal government agency, reported that more than 48,000 Americans had taken their own lives in 2018, equivalent to 14.2 deaths per 100,000 population. This makes suicide the tenth-biggest cause of death in the United States—deadlier than traffic accidents and homicide.
