“A man who is used to acting in one way never changes; he must come to ruin when the times, in changing, no longer are in harmony with his ways.”
From “The Prince”, by Niccolo Machiavelli, 1532
It was just six years, from the malefic device’s inception in 2006, to 2012, when the smartphone began to collapse.
You might have noticed that the collapse began in 2012, the year that the great positive changes that I’m documenting here began in earnest. I’ve been writing about them without cease since 2013.
The data below shows how the game is over for these people, despite the fact that their controlled press and an effectively-programmed populace don’t recognize that fact, at the moment.
THE COLLAPSE OF THE SMARTPHONE, 2006 TO 2023
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 countless 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 all the way back to Babylon, and before. And, as a result, the Ether is returning to its natural state of health and vitality.
Sales of so-called “smart” phones are decreasing exponentially regardless of culture or geography, because the populace has recognized that technology has been weaponized against it.
THE DATA
In 2012, the international mobile phone market decreased by 1.7%, year-over-year. It was the first decrease since 2009. Gartner said it was because of “Tough economic conditions, shifting consumer preferences and intense market competition”.
Even an elementary school student could tell you that increasing competition doesn’t impact overall sales. But 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.
In the 2nd Quarter of 2013, smartphone sales increased 46.5%, year-over-year.
In the 2nd Quarter of 2013, flip phone sales decreased by 21%, year-over-year.

In the 3rd Quarter of 2015, the 35.3% quarter-over-quarter increase in flip phone sales in India was 43% greater than the 24.7% increase in smartphone sales there during that same time period. The uncredited author from India’s Economic times omitted the percentage, which is an example of the propaganda technique known as “compartmentalization”.
They also didn’t make any mention as to what might have driven the sudden, seismic shift in the mobile phone market in India. That’s an example of the propaganda technique known as “stonewalling”.
From 2016 to 2022, international flip phone sales increased by 150%, from 400 million units to 1 billion units.

For those keeping score, nokiamob downgraded the increase by 62%, from 13% to 5%. I have exposed the duplicity of nokiamob.com by using what was known in the old days as “fact checking”.
From 2016 to 2017, the 13% increase in international flip phone sales was 550% greater than the 2% increase in smartphone sales during that same time period. “Stipe”, the curiously-named author from nokiamob.com omitted the stunning percentage, and referred to it only-generally as “grew faster” and “was bigger”.
That’s an example of the propaganda technique known as “compartmentalization”. They didn’t offer any suggestion whatsoever as to what had led to the seismic upheaval in the mobile phone industry. That’s an example of the propaganda technique known as “stonewalling”.
In 2016, the 400 million flip phones sold comprised 21% of the international mobile phone market.

“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.”
