  • How about reading the text to the end:

    Months after the release of the AirTag, Apple launched the Tracker Detect app for Android phones, where users had to initiate the scan. Google and Apple since have continued working together to make it easier for Android phones to detect unwanted AirTag trackers and for Apple phones to spot Android trackers. Recently, Google rolled out automatic smartphone alerts for unknown Bluetooth trackers, similar to what iPhone owners receive for AirTags.









  • If a new law targets “terrorism” in any way, the actual goal of that law to to oppress someone.

    Examples:

    • loads of laws worldwide that expand snooping powers over normal citizens.
    • loads of laws everywhere to curb financing “terrorism” and “crime”.
    • loads of laws in many country allowing to detain people without or with greatly reduced due process.

    Amazingly, those laws never manage to reduce terrorism in a noticeable way. But although they could be used for these purposes, they somehow also completely fail to engage with corruption, tax evasion and money laundering done by the rich and influential. They still set up anonymous foundations who own their mega-villas and yachts, they still set up companies in tax heavens to avoid paying their dues in their homeland.


  • Now just imagine how many US dollars are stored away in the vaults of this world just because the US$ is the “default valuta” for many business transactions. Anything dropping off that dollar in a big enough market will make countries to reduce those unproductive heaps of money. This would seriously devalue the dollar if said market is big enough, like oil. That’s why the US was not happy about the Euro, and that was the reason why hardliners insisted on war on Saddam Hussein - not because he had anything to do with 9/11, or being a piece of shit of a dictator, but because he dared to threten the US with offering oil for other currencies.

    There are estimates that if the oil business would separate itself from the dollar, the dollar could drop to 10% of its current value. To 10%, not by 10%. That would be even worse than the economic massacre Trump is planning by tarriffs and work force deportation.
