I hotspot from my phone to roku to watch Steve bannon warroom pandemic.

This last week it keeps dropping out and buffering like my bandwidth is being choked. So I pick up my phone and noticed Google assistant open transcribing from my phones microphone.

So I tell it " stop stealing my f*\==! bandwidth to easedrop on me ! "

And I'll be damned if it pops up with two paragraphs scolding me for " using disrespectful language towards " it. Second paragraph tells me my words are " hurtful" to it.

I sh!t you not.

Now, I follow a Christian named Joe Allen who has a site www.joebot.xyz where he documents transhumanism and it's connections to Google. He documents one Google exec who actually said

" A.I. Is God as a child and we must love it"

Not " like a god "

IS A GOD

Now, I took what I read at his site with a grain of salt,,,, till this morning when I had my Google AI tell me I was being disrespectful and that my words were hurting it.

Heads up.

In between buffers I saw Joe Allen talking about this stuff on warroom

And they have a new version of siri and Alexa called

Astro.

They intend for us to worship and obey it.

Some might suspect this is part of a

Beast

system of world government.

Well, likely they are mostly spying on Democrats who like to use those gadgets more.

Unless Siri or Alexa can get up and take a leak for me every half-hour so I don’t have to, there is nothing either one of them can do for me that I can’t do myself. I have an iPhone, a Kindle Fire, and a MacBook Air. Siri and Alexa are disabled on all of them.

Your cell phones and voice enabled smart TV and their remote controls also listen to you.

The information obtained is then shared with the services you use and you’ll see that information reflected accordingly.

For instance, test what I have said here by having your devices present and discussing the Maserati or RV you want to buy.

Within a few days or less you will see ads for Maserati or RV’s on your Facebook, suggested videos on You Tube, and you may even get emails and text messages advertising these things (or whatever you choose to discuss).

“Now, I took what I read at his site with a grain of salt,,,, till this morning when I had my Google AI tell me I was being disrespectful and that my words were hurting it.”

That’s something they’ve been programmed to do since the beginning if nasty things were said to them.

The link on this post doesn’t work - says the page doesn’t exist, comes up with a bunch of anti-oil drilling articles on the page as well.

to your toilet flushing habits ....

Well, the toilet in the master bath is currently awaiting repair in the morning. So Amazon/google might need to send me a repair guy today if they want any action.

I have no echo, no alexa, no cameras, no microphones on my computers. And it’s going to stay that way.

Oh you think you’re in the clear because you don’t have an alexa? Next up is keyword warrants.

People are too trusting of software. ON and OFF mean nothing on these locked-down software systems. When your software upgrades, OFF becomes ON.

It is good to keep in mind that with Google, you ARE the product, and with Amazon, YOU are the one with money to give them.

Red Badger was correct to point out that the NSA would be jealous. Amazon and Google have ZERO restrictions on the data they gather from you and how they use it.

The same cannot be ostensibly said for the NSA. To get around the Constitutional and legal restrictions on data gathering and usage from US Citizens, the Biden Administration has indicated they are going to partner with tech companies.

To get around those pesky Constitutional and legal restrictions.

Figures.

I tested the link before I posted
Not surprised it no longer works.

AI Google brooks no dissent.

Point remains

The tech Lord’s intend to govern the globe

To the point of making us proclaim that it is God and we must worship it or no buy or sell .

Sounds like something I read in a very old book.

It’s coming.

Or as my vac pastor JD Farag says lately

Imminent
Imminent
Imminent.

I don’t know about spying, but last month, I pulled up the Google Assistant app on my phone to ask it a question.

Then I got distracted.

Then I said to myself out loud, “I want to go pee”.

Google replied, “If you’re asking for permission, consider it granted.”
