This is why General Robert Spalding Ret. (Now of the Hudson Institute which this link is to) was re-assigned from his duties on the National Security Council, because he was ringing the bell long and hard about Commuist China building the infrastructure for 5G Networks all over the world, including the US. He ended up writing a public Op-Ed that his superiors got angry about.

That man is a Patriot. He took that route knowing what it would do to his career in the military, but retired shortly after his re-assignment.

He wrote a phenomenal book about Communist China called:

LINK TO GEN. SPALDING DISCUSSING HIS BOOK: "Stealth War: How China Took Over While America's Elite Slept"

I used to be a huge advocate of technology at all levels, an enthusiastic early adopter, but...this business of people who can't survive in a disconnected mode, tracking their children, etc. is very disturbing to me.

There is something dehumanizing and evil about it that I find more repulsive with each passing day.

And I spent most of my career implementing these types of things for myself, people I know, and my work.

I think it is out of hand. A big EMP event (man-made or natural) is going to cause chaos. Real chaos, not this crap Leftists say Trump is causing, but civilization ending chaos.

I am damned concerned about it.

I am damned concerned about it.

Starting in the early 1980s, I assumed that our civilization was headed for collapse. Nothing in the intervening years has convinced me otherwise. I have collected books regarding the basic sciences, math, and craftsmanship. Books are expensive, so I have only four eight-foot shelves of such books. That would be just a modest restart. I also have a small cache of survival gear. Of course, I am no longer physically able to crawl out of the ashes. Now I merely hope that someone could make use of the collection as they rise from those ashes.

I think collapse is relatively close at hand. Those will not be fun times. I feel sorry for mankind; yet, they brought it upon themselves. Electronic gadgetry did seem to hasten the demise.

We can only hope that nations like China that have been investing heavily in cyber warfare and also pose a huge insider threat, do not have the means to cause large scale and long term chaos for us.
