Is It Time To Ditch The Cell Phone? Find Out Why (Video)

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


For those of you who are regular visitors to the Tin Hat Ranch you know I don’t stray off into current events or politics too often.  Every once and a while I notice something going on that I feel we can all learn from.  Today’s world lesson comes to us from the Ukraine.  As you are probably well aware protests against the government has become violent as of late with protesters hurling Molotov cocktails at police and troops.

Protesters hurl Molotov Cocktails At Police during a violent demonstration in the Ukraine

I am not here to comment on what is going on or who is right or wrong.  I haven’t paid close enough attention to the details to formulate a proper opinion.  My comments are strictly focused on a blurb I read about how protesters cell phones are being used to incriminate them.  On Tuesday, protesters received a mass text message indicating that their presence at the event “registered them as a participant of a mass disturbance”.  Now whether or not it will be used to prosecute them at a later point is not in the scope of this discussion, but with the world increasingly (including the US) moving from “innocent until proven guilty” to just plain “guilty” it raises an eyebrow.

With all of the talk about the NSA as of late storing vast amounts of metadata and civil liberties being eroded by the hour it is beginning to get downright scary .  Just by having a cell phone you are relinquishing a tremendous portion of your privacy.  By the simple nature in which cell phones work your every move is tracked.  How do you think your phone rings no matter where you are when someone calls?  Simply put your phone “registers” its ID with the nearest cell towers at all times.  This registration is stored on servers with the cellular companies.  When someone dials your number the location of your phone is looked up in this real time database and the tower  to which you are nearest is told to connect the call.  These records of your location are kept by the phone company and the NSA.

      Having the cell phone to communicate out of necessity is a good idea, but ONLY out of necessity. Stay invisible otherwise… I would strongly suggest people get one of these! https://www.blockitpocket.com/block-it-pocket-block-it-pocket-our-products-prod.html?products_id=38038&cPath=959_960
      Fight the good fight everybody!

        You can make a nifty block just by wrapping some aluminum foil around the phone. Leave one end open with just enough foil to squeeze the end shut. Make it loose enough so phone will slide out.

        Might make something more convenient with metalized mylar or the like.

      • Bill in Tennessee

        I’ve read that any cell phone blocking device will cause your phone to stay in “search” mode, looking for a tower, and run down its battery faster. Does anyone know if that’s true?

        • Heart Of Winter

          Yes it is true. A better method to avoid being tracked is simply to remove the battery, and only put it back in if you absolutely must use it.

          This is probably why they’ve made it so inconvenient to remove the battery on these newer phones like iPhones and androids. In older model phones it was much easier to pop the battery out.

      …anything you say, can and will be used against you in a court of law. Pretty much spells it out right there. No need for clarification even. But we do have the right to remain silent. The internet killed the option.

        A 5-4 Ruling, One of Three, Limits Silence’s Protection
        By ADAM LIPTAK
        Published: June 17, 2013

        WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court issued three 5-to-4 decisions on Monday. One limited a criminal suspect’s right to remain silent before being taken into custody.


        RIGHT TO REMAIN SILENT — The court ruled that a suspect’s failure to answer a police officer’s questions before an arrest may be used against the suspect at trial. :shock:

        • Anonymous

          So, now we get to the heart of the matter. The technology to get an answer, without a person even being aware of how this is being done, is now being considered as admissible evidence in a court of law! Up to now old fashioned lie detector technologies have been used to tell whether a person was telling the truth or not. Now they have NEW technology! A person is put in front of a computer monitor and told to watch a video. In the video are subliminal images and words that the person does not see or hear but, their brain can recognize. Images and words at a crime scene, recorded by various cameras, microphones, and sensors, are flashed in the video. The brain reacts to this in predictable ways that can be measured, and used to prove guilt or innocence. Refusal to answer questions has always been used to justify an arrest if the arresting officer has reason to believe, or reasonable suspicion, that the person refusing to answer the question is a possible suspect. Add to this the ability of those in power to PUT information onto your “device”, or PUT information directly into your mind without you realizing it, and you have the perfect system to CRUSH dissent, or even ENCOURAGE dissent, or even violence!

      GOOGLE, FACEBOOK, AT&T, ALL those corporations are working hand-in-glove with the M/BANKER/IC …. so ANYTHING you can do ……. DO. I dumped my cell years ago

      • COCONUT

        Never felt the need for one. People know how to reach me. Plus I find that presumptuous. Nothing drives me nuts more than a *** who speaks loudly and without restraint about her previous night’s date and not minding giving the whole world the juicy details.

    • Anonymous

      The point of all this technology is becoming rather obvious now, isn’t it? One has to either go along with the “program” or don’t go along with the “program”. Which will it be? If you choose not to go along then you will not be able to “buy or sell” in the very near future. New “nano tattoo” technology is here, and its already being touted as a way to “connect” a human beings nervous system and brain to the “system” in order to IDENTIFY you based on your bioelectric “signals”. As far as smart phones go, used to have one, don’t anymore. Notice the ad by Sprint offering you a “Free” smart phone? Looks to me like those who run this website have already decided to go along with the “program”, don’t you think?

      Had enough of the NSA? Simply cancel your cellphone service. Loss of income to cellular providers would cause a financial panic that would topple NSA and obama…Wall street would go crazy…. simply say no to paying for cell service with NSA monitoring.

      • Soul Leister

        Resistance is futile… the government will require all of us to have a cell phone (and pay for it) or be fined/jailed… just like they are doing with medical insurance… you will do as they say or you will be subjected to financial penalties and jail… we have to put an end to this madness (the sooner the better)… the one party system (pretending to be democrats and republicans) will be the ruin of us all.

        • Anonymous

          Was watching Bloom-borg the other day and some rich computer guru was on talking openly of the coming “Singularity” and the merging of man and machine. From Christ’s point of view, where in the Holy Bible is there any mention of merging man and machine? (Antichrister’s need not comment on this because you’ve already made your bed!)

        • Anonymous

          At this point, resistance is futile for a number of reasons, one being there are technologies being used to manipulate people via smart phones, digital TV and Radio, and other “broadcast” technologies. There are other ways that people are being manipulated, such as the threat of losing their jobs, which are far and few between, if they do not comply. The government, not just Obama, are mandating “citizens” sign up for healthcare insurance for a reason, as yet to be seen, of which some of are aware of, but most are not. Those who don’t sign up for medical insurance are subject to a gradually increasing tax penalty which will be enforced by the IRS and the governments employees in law enforcement. Failure to pay the penalty will result in your bank account, property, or any other asset being “levied” until you pay it! Of course, once this happens your inability to pay for other things, like food, fuel, space rent, house payments, auto insurance, car registration, etc., will be impacted. Thus, most citizens will do what any “law abiding citizen” would do. Those who don’t will be “few”, and they will be criminalized and “brought to justice”! Makes no difference who’s “party” is involved!

      Here is an even better reason to get rid of your cellphone and wifi:

      Digital Angel is right around the corner (where everyone will be implanted with an RFID chip), because too many people don’t carry their cell phone (tracking device) for the government.

      It will either be a mass injection event (anyone refusing will be incarcerated for sedition) or it will be surreptitiously done during an inoculation (flu shot or some other event you have been trained to take/pay for on command… it may even be promoted as a pandemic preventer or some other nuclear/biologic safety precaution… they already have that contingency plan drawn up).

      …regardless, it will be in you and if you discover it and remove it, immediate jail time and financial ruin follow (depending on who you are there may even be a staged fatal accident).

      ..if you continue to let uneducated people vote in any cat or dog that promises them a free ride, they you will get the government that will do what ever it takes to stay in power… no god can help you then, because even god can’t hit a one iron (golfing pun).

      • Anonymous

        You’re on the right track but, the old Digital Angel device is, well, old technology. Newer technologies are now available such as the electronic “patch” and the “Nano-tattoo”. Both technologies are being promoted as medical solutions for a variety of purposes but, this technology can be adapted for other uses.

    • LorieK

      I have never owned a cell, don’t have gps in my old car, either No tracking on social media either, except for occasional comments sine that;s the only way to do it some places. Search thermographic images cell phone….that’s reason enough not to have one. We are electrical beings first, then chemical. I like to keep the area clean. Too bad I can’t rip this stupis smart meter off my house!

    • HardCase

      The aluminum foil works HOWEVER, it HAS to be totally sealed. When I go outside my normal area like grocery store and gas station etc. I put my phone in a mylar bag and seal it tight. I have an old cell phone that I bought at a flea market. It has a sim card for a pay as you go that is purchased at various locations and usually at locations at my destination. I am an old old man and really despise people looking over my shoulder. If the government is so damned nervous that they have to control their bosses, it is time to use a hard boot to them. It is election season.

      • dj

        Just leave your phone at home. That’s what I do. Dosn’t work in mylar bag anyway does it?

        • Tin Hat Ranch

          It does, I’ve tested it. It doesn’t work via WiFi at close range but for the cellular bands, 900mhz/1.8ghz it works well.

        • Anonymous

          Leaving your electronic device, especially a smart device, at home, even if its off, and disconnected from a battery, doesn’t stop it being used as a surveillance device IN your home! Broadcast “energy” is used to activate certain capabilities in these devices. The device’s microphone or camera can be activated remotely, for instance. There are other capabilities too! Sensors in the phone can pick up your heart or brains electrical impulses, which are unique to each individual, even if your not holding it. These “signals” are already stored in the system ,because you’ve already been “scanned”, and are used to identify whose in a room, or in a car, etc.. Many of the “things” you buy are also imbedded with microscopic “sensors”, such as cloths, shoes, and even the food you eat! Together, they form a “distributed surveillance system” that can communicate to bigger computers all sorts of electrical information about YOU! Go ahead and try to be “invisible” but, its just not possible anymore!

    • Anonymous

      Everything that is communicated via electronic devices is being gathered, sorted, collated and stored. Anything we say or post using these devices is put into our PROFILES, period. All this information is used to determine your “level of risk” to the those who’ve created this “system”. This explains why a very rich man was on Bloomberg yesterday saying that those who complain about the capitalist “system” are “stupid”, and why he compared those who verbally attack the lifestyles of rich and super rich capitalists, for a variety of justifiable reasons, to those who perpetrated the “Holocaust”!

        Why do you think the telecommunications corporations are giving away, FREE, smart phones (but a 2 year activation fee is required, so it ain’t FREE)? Id say, if this website and those who contribute to it are so concerned about how these devices are being used, supposedly against them, then they should get rid of their smart phones, period. Hey, MATT DRUDGE, ALEX JONES, and all the rest of you in the so-called alternative media, why don’t you tell everyone to stop using their smart phones, and to get rid of them, and stop displaying ads for them, like the one I’m seeing right now to the right of this comment box?

        • Anonymous

          In case you haven’t figured it out, the last question is a sarcastic rhetorical question! I KNOW WHY YOU DON’T WANT EVERYONE TO STOP USING THEIR SMART DEVICES!

        • Alan

          The easiest to control are the ones whom know very little about anything…. so cutting off your communication worked wonders.. maybe for you,, but also, maybe for them… :neutral:

    • HatchMan

      Ham radio, led lasers and morse code work well. Earthquake will not out cell towers quicker that the slip of a wet hair on a toad!
