The back-doors I'm concerned about are sister processors with access to memory and peripheral buses and such.  This would include the 'management engines' built into x86 chipsets and baseband processors on mobile ARM based SBCs.  Another class would be undocumented instructions in processors.  I'm hopeful that the open license model of the RISC-V processors will ultimately foster fabs which can be audited and more trusted.

The above are concerns for those who are more worried about state level spying although it's only a matter of time before backdoors which were initially available to corp/gov state actors are leaked such as what happened with Intel ME stuff.  Anyway, to your question about 'connecting directly', it is relevant to the above in that secret triggers tend to open the back-doors and indirect access can interfere with such things perhaps, but in general it's not really a very meaningful concept.  Most things are not 'connecting directly', but directly enough to a problematic source (an IMSI catcher, say) that some satisfactory firewall-ing could help.  

I do think that 'we' will 'lose the internet' as we get farther into the Great Culling.  Not that it won't exist since it is to critical to vaporize, but it won't be available in un-curated form to Joe Sixpack.  Finding information about the covaids will not be as easy as avoiding Jewtube in favor of Buttchute for instance...but the actual porn-pipe will still be there.  Thus, I think it valuable to explore alternate methods such as some of the mesh network stuff, and also methods of using porn-pipe infrastructure they provide us in a non-obvious way.

I would say also that streaming protocols are relatively easy to censor.  Store-and-forward protocols (smtp, uucp, etc) are going to be much more difficult.  Similar principle applies to large amounts of data vs. tiny amounts.  Bitcoin has two things to it's favor here just FWIW.

Lastly, while IoT may be 'of the devil', it has brought about some interesting things such as spread-spectrum low power radio stuff (e.g., LoRa) which can be usable for point-to-point communications and meshes.  I really like the 'modular' nature of things like this:

Any low production and/or roll-your-own solution, even if relatively poorly implemented, is going to be hardened to a degree simply because there are not enough resource to analyze and attack every target.  Just the very existence of such thing will sap the resources of the adversary.  Maybe the BCM2835 processor of a Pi Zero is found to be subverted?  Probably can swap out with another SBC should such a thing happen.  Obviously such a device has dismal performance and zero appeal to most people, but that's not who it's going to do anything for anyway.

Them dirty crypto-chinks took on names like Zucker, Sulzberger, Eisner, Rothstein, etc to cover their evil takeover.  Sneaky!  Good thing people are on to them now.

Yet another perv session, unless the video is some sort of fake (entirely possible.)

The main reason to suspect that this is totally real is that it is completely standard behavior for the man, and as people descend into senility their proclivities of this nature tend to become more extreme.

I think it is a safe bet to say that the ONLY qualification that Biden ever had for public office is that he is a pervert with a ton of dirt on him.

Very true.  Most will stay in their fairly well defined and maintained spheres and never break out.  Those that do break out will do so through a multi-year process.  Many of those will be sucked back in.

My main point is that there is a correlation between the highest level performers, and the people who break out and don't get sucked back in.  These people will also know the most about the system because they were most deeply involved in it's evolution.

It must be noted, however, that there is a noteworthy focus on psychological analysis within the most sensitive technocratic focused industries.  Yes, much of it is to simply identify and acquire high IQ workers, but I think there is more to it than that.

Ironically, I happened to watch that very video within the last 12 hours, but only half-watched because I was doing other work simultaneously.

I've watched a fair bit of Braxman's stuff recently.  He has mentioned in other vids that without a sim the baseband processor is out of action.  I'd have to get verification that that is 100% true.  One way or another, one is still using Android (or some equally questionable OS), and on hardware which is also almost certain to be back-door'd.

I think the basic rationale about the sim being in an independent advice is good, and a quick-n-easy first step.  I used a pretty fancy pocket wi-fi with an ethernet port back in the old-normal days when I used to travel, but mostly for my laptop.  Even just putting a different phone in hotspot mode could serve the same effect.

A full Bitcoin node can still, after a decade, be run from a Raspberry Pi and a single external drive.

The biggest attack historically was the attempt to bloat Bitcoin by unrestricting the transaction rate.  The argument at that time was that 'we' would only need to add one 4TB HDD per day.  Had people been idiotic enough to fall into that trap, BTC would be a historic memory or under complete control of Google, Facebook, and a few other entities.  Either option would have been fine with the attackers.

Bitcointalk.org probably picked up a load of 'social media influencers' back in those days in an unsuccessful attempt to pull off the bloat-it attack on Bitcoin, and a number of them stuck around long enough to play their part for the covid-19 plandemic.  Same basic forces driving both efforts and they have unlimited fiat to pay off trolls, bot farm programmers, etc.

Now you are all of a sudden 'so scared' by another vax?  What's the big deal?

'Experts' have already proven that these gene therapy platforms make the 'safest and most effective vaccines ever seen', and since one targeting a new strain of coronavirus is just a tiny tweak to some of the genetics package, there is no need for any further bothersome and time consuming testing.

Remember, that one of the big selling points of these genetic therapy treatments is that they can be done in smallish 'edge node' facilities near the end user since the genetics are sent around digitally.  It should only take days between when 'experts' cook up a new gene sequence, and when it is incorporated into the cells of the peeps.  Goodbye to all sickness!

Lots of links in the article to sources I've read before (including ones only found on the way-back machine.)  Epstein's 'sacrifice' has all the makings of biblical creation narrative story...once the next addition of the one-world religion bible is ready.  Or maybe it is a few versions down the road.

At any rate, I would certainly question the parentage of any kids 'I' had after getting these guys' experimental gene therapy masquerading as a 'vaccine'.  There are even some questions if one avoids the jab given the 'mosquito vaccinator' work that Gates funded and interest in spraying the atmosphere to deal with the scourge of 'global climate change.'

Anyone who cannot see that there is some 'weird fuckin shit' going on with this whole scamdemic has a real problem with cognitive dissonance.

The realization that it was to late, and laughably pointless to use traditional tools (voting, politicians/campaigns, protests, etc), hit me some time ago.  That bird has flown, and probably decades ago.  Rather than 'give up', so to speak, I just decided to try to consider it to be asymmetrical warfare and just do the best analysis that I could.  And leverage what capabilities I had to the best of my ability.  There simply won't be any opportunity until most of the sheep have been slaughtered (including most of my family unfortunately.)  It is what it is.  Best to try to be around and try to be ready if there is a window of opportunity.  There may or may not be.

Anyway, if you busy yourself analyzing how 'they' do what they do, you are less prone to being sucked in to one of the vast array of intake ports.  They have intake ports on both the pro-vax and anti-vax sides of the game (to use a currently relevant example.)  There are many people doing what I'm trying to do, and doing it quietly and in their own ways.  That is good.  Maybe if a window of opportunity opens up at some point in the future there will be enough people left to exploit it.

It's worth note that the people running things are certainly smart enough in their own ways, but they lean heavily on a cadre of technocrats for actual architecture and engineering.  The brightest of the technocrats who actually do the real and novel work tend to be the kinds of people who can flip, and it tends to be an internal process within themselves which flips the switch.  Those who are especially skilled at getting things done for the system can be equally effective at getting things done against it.

The polio problem was eventually solved by re-naming all of the cases caused by the vaccine 'not polio' by definition.  Although 'clinically indistinguishable' from wild-strain polio, the new name 'acute flaccid paralysis' (which has paralyzed some 50,000 kids in India) made the OPV program a success story for Gates.  At least as he (meaning all of the corp/gov media outlets) tell the story...many Indians will tell a different story, but they have no voice and very few people give a shit about them or their shit-hole country.  The people who think about it at all tend to feel like decimating their brown asses is doing the ones who are left a favor anyway.  And saving the planet.  It's no accident that the 'educated' tend to feel that way because the same people who pushed the OPV in India control the curriculum in the 'developed world.'

Who's afraid of the Big Bad Measles?

Wanna know why/how:

I stopped using it almost all together for actual info some months ago and didn't miss it.  As a matter of fact, whenever I do happen to search for actual information on the platform I am amazed at how CNN-ish all the content there is.

I still use Buttchute mostly at this point but don't trust them.  It is becoming increasingly useless also, but in exactly the opposite way.  They try to force-feed me idiots/creeps like infowhores, styxhexenhammer666, Tim Pool, etc, but I always sort-by-date so it nixes that issue.  The biggest problem is that it is being spammed with 'anti-vaxxer' junk which is shrill, inaccurate, and counterproductive.  I'm pretty sure that at this point MOST of the 'anti-vaxxers' are ultimately being paid by the corp/gov vax machine whether they know it or not.  Others (e.g., Bannon) are taking the opposite side to the vaxxers in order to capitalize on a backlash.  I'm confident to say that his 'patriot' persona is as phony as it's ever been, and his sugar-daddies (or data-daddies) are among the most desirous of getting the goyim jabbed.  Bannon and his ilk are nothing more than pied pipers, but in the mean time I will say that some of the guests he gets are worth listening to.

Odysee seems pretty good, but I've not really switched over to them as a scan point though for some reason.  Perhaps soon.

Here's a former chairperson of the CDC Advisory Committee on Immunization identifying the problem, and also a good solution:

  https://www.bitchute.com/video/PwJUtbKAETet/

I watched much of the entire presentation some time before the plandemic.  The panel was pretty well packed with 'fellow whites', and they had a hard time containing their duping delight when they used the phrase 'for the well-being of our children'.

Just FWIW, it was this relatively deep background research into 'injections' which is the reason that the plandemic was closer to and expectation than a surprise for me.  It's also why I've been able to predict with high confidence things which are, at the time of prediction, 'conspiracy theories'.  Things like vaccine identities, forced vaccination, etc.  Part-n-parcel with actual science, research into the ethno-religious philosophical frameworks driving some of the key players have been equally valuable.

'Seemed' to me that BTC was 'possibly' a good buy at $2 as well.  I never said it was going to be 'for sure' in part because I feel uncomfortably stating something that I do not or cannot know.  Doing so makes one look like a fool for the obvious reason that they are, and that is one of the best reasons for ignoring people who know for sure that the 'vaccines' are perfectly safe.  That certainly includes Dr. Fausti.

When I said that even a small speculation in BTC for people who did not have a lot of extra money was fine because if the bet paid off, it would very likely pay off big, I just made my thoughts known and provided the reasoning behind my thoughts.  Some people probably got something out of them and others did not.  $50 turned into a $1,000,000 for people who agreed with my logic.  Now the stakes are probably a lot higher as it means life and death, or at least the termination of one's family tree.  Again, some people might get something out of it and others will not.  Shrug.

Firstly, 'medical professionals' are among the most resistant to taking the jab.  The jab pushers seem to have switched to just not mentioning the problem at this point as the best strategy rather than force up the uptake rates through various kinds of coercion.  Seems a fair bet that a lot of the ones that did 'get the jab' worked out a deal with their comrades to get a mock jab and doctor the paperwork.  They've been doing it for their kids on the 'schedule' for some time so I've heard.

Secondly, there is zero reason to believe that one jab is the same as the next no matter what is written on the vial.  It's an assumption that is not even backed up by a claim from the maker, and they don't supply an open and complete list of ingredients nor is there yet a standardization process to provide oversight.  Trade secrets.

Nobody said 'every human'.  The Georgia Guidestones are predicated on a scenario where the population somehow got below 0.5B (from 7.5B and growing.)

Such 'solutions' are more about ensuring control and maximizing extraction than it is about 'money' per-se.  It so happens that 'overpopulation' makes it more expensive and less reliable to maintain control of certain types of resources.  If it takes {n} resources to keep people fed enough to not to revolt, then by halving the population there is a lot more that can be pocketed from a given extraction.

It also cannot be ignored that the people at the top are not just with one company.  The CEO is often a hireling just as is the POTUS and he/she doesn't matter a lot.  It matters who sits on the board of directors of the corporation, who chairs it, and what other boards of directors of what other multinational corporations they also sit on or influence.  It is often a good strategic move to take a minor loss on one corporation knowing that it will be re-paid 10 times in another.  OTC derivatives and other such vehicles can be used to balance the books if need be.

The e-mails painted a (fairly amateurish) picture of Fausti and various of the other perps being 'surprised'.  I'd say there is a pretty good chance that it was a psy-op mechanism to hide the fact that the plandemic went exactly as planned when the NIH (and DOD which nobody like to mention) were funneling money through Eco-Health Alliance to get the virus developed.

Half a year ago I advised the idiots who were planning to get the shot to at least hold up and try to score some of the rewards money.  But in actual fact, these 'early adopters' very well may have gotten the best deal:

Saline injections were common in the early days, and you probably remember the stories about the people who got a note from CVS pharmacy that 'Oops...you got saline by accident.  Come back in for the real injection' from a while ago?  I suspected it at the time but it's more clear now that they simply did not want to sicken to high a percentage in some areas with the real gene therapy.

Beyond that, the truly brainwashed sheep would be the first ones in line voluntarily (as opposed to the forced victims in the old-folks camps who couldn't escape) and these are exactly the cohort that TPTB would rather have around.  It's pretty clear that various formulations with various properties have been used through different population segments and at different times.  It is quite possible that the first-to-the-trough will be spared for the simple reason that they are among the most useful of the useful idiots.  The technocrats do recognize a role for some humans after all.  Probably those high enough up the ladder will have real flesh-and-blood sex partners while the lower casts will only get androgynous fleshlights (...'and never be happier'.)

Probably zero.  Anyone who's smart enough to see what's going on and decent enough to speak up about it will see by now that there is a high likelihood that it will land you an a variety of to-re-educate or to-kill lists when they get a chance to do the round-ups.  That's the way these totalitarians roll.  We've seen this play out before, and we've seen the kind of people who go along with their programs.  Yup, it's a match with certain of the people/bots on this board.

Anyway donuts, strippers, pot, etc that you people tried didn't do it.  Food would get some more, but only after they are well into the starvings which are not scheduled for another few quarters.  I would suspect that a measly $100 got almost none of the 50% of us who are left.

50% is uncomfortably close to a fair fight which you're type tend to want no part of.  I'll be they'll do something rather extreme to get the advantage they need before ramping up the game to the next level.

That's why in order to be 'efficacious' to get emergency use authorization 'working' was defined only as 'reducing mild to moderate symptoms.'  Conspicuously absent was 'reduce serious symptoms' of which death is one.

Or at least death used to be classified as 'serious' before the jabbed people started dying and it looked bad in mainstream propaganda headlines.
