The Ministry, 'voluntary' fascism, and Fundamental Human Rights antidotes; - Australia will launch tracing app as voluntary 'and see how it goes', deputy medical officer says
This is important, folks - the below outlines the front line of human tracking or "the mark of the beast", as well as some antidotes to that. In this case, "The Ministry of Truth" attempts to achieve sufficient tacit consent for ubiquitous monitoring via "smart"phones. This is a highly slippery slope, and potentially catastrophic for our individual and collective freedoms, so let's get a handle on this one... Be warned: :: ----- crunch time is close - do everything you can to educate people, because if insufficient people are educated on this issue, the tracking that is coming ("mark of the beast") will be extraordinarily difficult to undo.

So tell me again how this might work for someone, like myself, that has a phone with a removable battery and keeps his phone off / unpowered mostly, except at home or innocuous locations.
There are brand new non droid/ios "feature phones" still sold all over the place. There are land lines. There is not having phone. The tell in some places will be people forced to have and keep phone on just like border airports article, or to buy and use tracker phone, or given free "Obama phone", threatened with rubberhose contempt and civil disobedience if not, then jailed or even killed for resisting. Same for the upcoming vaccination programs. Also search for the articles about ankle trackers being ordered onto coronavirus patients for "violating" self quarantine and going outside. Variety of crazy plans making news clips around world, though most won't end up in production.
