Once in a while I go on flightradar24 .... because for some reason I like to watch all the helicopters servicing the oil platforms in the North Sea .... sometimes there are over 20 Sikorsky S92's & Eurocopters in the air at one time.

Plus some days there are lots of gliders cruising over Spain and France .... plus an occasional hot air balloon

Anyway one day I noticed a bunch of balloons over California and Texas and each one had an N-Number assigned ... but when I tried to look up the registration no info was available

Then I noticed they were flying at 59,000 feet ..... and at night !!! ..... HUH !!!

Further digging I find out they are part of Project Loon and they are high altitude internet broadcasters designed to provide service to every region on earth.

Probably everyone knew about this except me .... haaaa

From what I gather Google is behind this project ... I can understand them wanting to provide internet signals ... but mostly they want to cover third world countries where they do not even have phones or electricity.

Give the jungle guy a cell phone and a solar charger and he is connected to the world.

Makes me go hmmmmm .... someone is planning something ..... all they need next is an identifier signal for each user and all our movements can be tracked inch by inch. Every human on earth .

I am not a conspiracy theory guy ... but in this case I certainly am .... One aspect of our freedom is the privilege to be anonymous and if we follow the laws of the land we do not have to identify ourselves except to a policeman with a good reason to ask for identity.

And as far as I know we cannot "track" anyone .... including police .... unless they have a warrant.

Are these freedoms being tossed out the window with this new technology ?

I follow world trends very carefully and several years ago researchers and forecasters said (quote) "it will not be politicians , governments , or countries that will control the world .... it will be a handful of big corporations" (end quote)

Google certainly fits the description of a big corporation.

All opinions welcome .... including conspiracy theory .... cant believe I just said that ... haaaa

Speaking of influential corporations ..... google , twitter , and facebook are near the top .... and recently those same companies have been applying censorship to certain content .

We have not lost freedom of speech but if we are refused the freedom to be heard it amounts to the same thing.

And that's what they are doing now.

A voluntary "dark ages" may be upon us soon.
When the next REAL civil war breaks out, a whole lotta people like myself will "go dark" and ditch their wifi/cells/internet to go off grid.
We grew up in a time without them and can go back to it quite easily. Low tech wins.
They will control the sheeple, while the wolves and sheepdogs will continue to destroy them at every opportunity with impunity.
They went too far too fast, should have gone 2 generations past us to ensure electronic enslavement.
Eventually people will forget politicians and just start shooting corporate heads and presstittutes.
Then you will see real change.
Until then, don't forget to update to Windows 10....they told you to do it!

Mentioning conspiracy theorists....I am a hard sell...but realize this world has some bad people in it. I know, many dont believe in satanic influence....but lets at least call it bad genetics... there simply are many bad eggs out there wanting to do harm...and a few really ROTTEN eggs wanting to hurt the human race.

In my opinion...I would MUCH rather be in the camp of those believing "some" of the above may be trying to harm us on purpose....
than be the type that believes in no conspiracies. They are the ones that will be sheepled into corals.....and probably still deny anything nefarious will ever happen to our society.

The proud nature of our country reminds me of a quote..."I sit as a queen and know no sorrows".
