Most #Dystopian Things Pushed By The World Economic Forum
#WEF Pushes Augmented Tech, Brain Chips and Internet of Bodies
August 21, 2022
By Sikh for Truth

The World Economic Forum (WEF) is attempting to normalize the idea of implanting tracking chips into humans, via the Internet of Bodies – a highly controversial technology.

The Internet of Bodies ( #IoB) is the biological extension of the Internet of Things ( #IoT) that brought us driverless cars and smart homes.

As part of the Great Reset, both are part of the plans for the future of humanity devised by the elites of the World Economic Forum.

The IoB confirms its belief in the eternal benefits of technology and promises to improve our health and extend our life. That’s a good idea, isn’t it? No, the meaning becomes clear once you understand it.

The keyword is here is data. Data is supposed to be the new oil in this new technological era. Our phones and Fitbits are used to collect data about our locations, spending patterns, educational and economic status, political allegiances, walking steps, and oxygen levels.

But through the Internet of Bodies, more and more #nano #sensors and #robots will be #embedded in our #body, turning us into a quantifiable information platform that can be easily commoditized and even manipulated remotely.

By collecting all this data, data owners will be able to develop very detailed profiles of the population that can be used to enhance surveillance and security defined by authorities.

Klaus Schwab, founder of the WEF and proponent of the Great Reset, believes that the pandemic and lockdowns are an opportunity to spread this technological use, which “will result in a fusion of our physical, digital, and biological identities”.

Insteon looks dead – just like its users’ smart homes – Always try to use open standards for cloud based IoT, so you’re not left stranded

The smart home company Insteon has vanished. The entire company seems to have abruptly shut down just before the weekend, breaking users’ cloud-dependent smart-home setups without warning. Users say the service has been down for three days now despite the company status page saying, “All Services Online.” The company forums are down, and no one is replying to users on social media.

Insteon is (or, more likely, “was”) a smart home company that produced a variety of Internet-connected lights, thermostats, plugs, sensors, and of course, the Insteon Hub. At the core of the company was Insteon’s propriety networking protocol, which was a competitor to more popular and licensable alternatives like Z-Wave and Zigbee.

A proprietary protocol can often mean your device is a useless paperweight if the company which owns it goes bust. Open standards like MQTT however mean other support exists to continue using your devices, for example, on Home Assistant and other open smart home services. More and more we are seeing companies close down, leaving consumers stranded, so it is imperative to instead choose to buy products which support open standards.
