5th Gen Warfare in Plain Sight
Good morning to the Known Unknowns. It finally happened, Readers.
After a couple decades of downplaying the dangers of EM radiation and battery explosions in cell phones, we are now witnessing the rollout of direct weaponization of personal devices. The Mossad and its pager / walkie-talkie operation will be talked about for decades to come, if we survive that long, and if the whole episode does not turn out to be a hoax. This essay has nothing to do with Israel, but everything to do with the staggering implications of these events. It may take some weeks for the impact to finally filter down to the low-information group, but we can explore it right now.
This is the 4th in a series of 5th Gen Warfare topics. If you read Supply Chain Exploits then you should have a decent grasp of how hacking of the global supply chain itself is an insidious, invisible technique being used by the world’s more disruptive agencies. CIA, MI6, you know the story. In that essay I infer that something fishy has been going on for a long time in shipping and in military equipment related to the Chinese-sourced boards in so many control systems. Accidents waiting to happen on command.
We obviously don’t want systems like missile defense or the US Navy to be hardware-hackable, and yet we completely ignore the devices carried every day in our pockets. Readers may recall the many battery fires & explosions that were frequent back in the 2010’s. From Android phones to Galaxy Notes and iPhones, these random incidents sparked (heh) a sea change in airline security procedures and air freight. I mostly ignored the reports at the time, being a frequent traveler and overly dependent on my beloved iPhone 4S. Back in the day. But I was paying attention to more than a decade of warnings related to EM radiation, linking cell phones to brain tumors and testicular cancer.
My telescreen colostomy bag is so cool.
It has flashing lights with beeps and it makes me all smart and shit.
Muh convenience?
Darr derp drool.
We should’ve listened to SD Plissken and unplugged it when we had the chance.
Escape From the Panopticon by any means necessary.
Comfort and entertainment isn’t everything.
