The smart dust aspect is often rebuked as not real- thanks to you Jonathan we have another source - Dr. Pister, who is pissing us off.

BRAVO, Jonathan! This whole thing is so well written, laid out, played out (the videos). "Smart dust' is terrifying - but we all know surveillance has been going on as long as there's been technology. From this I ended up watching his LED video as well. It's all really sick and twisted. I appreciate this from your perspective not only as an ex marine but from where you are now - and then, the one 'weapon' we have and have always had - love and smiles - and how smiling (even old and toothless as I am) uplifts ourselves and others. That video at the end. "us" is priceless! Thank you for the incandescent light (no more LEDs if I can consciously avoid them!) within some really dastardly times. You're spot on in everything you write. So glad I read this post. It's too easy to feel alone in all this craziness, which is what the controllers want. Control never works, no matter where it comes from in the human ego. (not sure about machines, but suspect it's the same). I'm not religious, but over and over we get the message that something larger and far more benificent than humanity seems able to imagine, is in charge. We're in the driver seat and it has more to do with what we focus on than control of anything. Nature teaches that over and over again. Everything has consciousness and Nature and the planet is not gonna sit back and let itself be ruined - elemental forces will move in and restore balance - the question is whether humanity can let go of its anthropocentric leanings in time to realize that, and quit infighting. I'm so glad to have been led to your substack!

I'm glad you were led to it. ;) Yeah I used to think it was just our phones and key strokes on the keyboard but began to see that surveillance is so much more. I'm glad you like the ending video lol. I'll throw in some different background music each time.

Thank you.

i keep watching 'Us' just to crack up and remind myself to stay calm and not react or be in fear. Thank you for the humorous reminder and new meditation - it's perfect.

Smiling right back at ya! I watch Ken's videos sometimes too. I think of him as my tattoo bodhisattva, don't know what he'd think of that, hahaha.

Nice/lol. He'd probably welcome it.

He did a really good video the other day on all the things that can be done with LEDs. It's about 30 minutes https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-WP_kvQVuSA&t=1s

that was excellent. He is so smart; most of what I've heard, through you, is way over my head brilliant- it's why I chose the arts instead of science - but I get him on some fundamental level.
