Number of Cellphones Now Equal To Half the Human Species

netbuzz writes "A major milestone was reached today, according to communications industry analysts: there are now some 3.3 billion mobile phone accounts worldwide. Of course, it doesn't really mean half the world's population has a cell phone, since users in 59 countries average more than one per person. '"The mobile industry has constantly outperformed even the most optimistic forecasts for subscriber growth," Mark Newman, head of research at Informa said in a statement. "For children growing up today the issue is not whether they will get a mobile phone, it's a question of when," Newman said. In recent years the industry has seen surging growth in outskirts of China and India, helped by constantly falling phone and call prices, with cellphone vendors already eyeing inroads into Africa's countryside to keep up the growth.'"

Funnily enough, I'm a vegetarian.

Meat is murder! ...tasty, tasty murder.

(Seriously, I'm a vegetarian for health reasons, but now we're going to get modded as offtopic.)

A secondary system. . .

Hm. How do you control the thoughts, emotions and actions of an entire race of people?

HAARP. (Allows you to bounce your signal all around the globe). Here's a selected bit from an old New York Times article about one of the guys researching this back in the fifties. . .

Of all the scientists who are working in this area, however, Dr. Delgado appears to be the only one using radio to stimulate animals' brains, with special attention to effects on social behavior. He also makes use of telemetry in studying physiological activity in brains and other organs.

"I do not know why more work of this sort isn't done," he remarked recently, "because it is so economical and easy." Essentially, Dr. Delgado's system for studying social behavior consists of constant time-lapse photography of animal colonies, the analysis of those films and recording of of all the animals, details in the behavior patterns.

This permits not just qualitative assessment of the animals' social interactions but also the quantification of each one's behavioral profile, Dr. Delgado said. This is particularly important when analyzing the modifications in social behavior of the group produced by radio stimulation of a particular response in one or more of the animals.

For example, stimulation of several specific regions of the brain can induce aggressiveness in a monkey. Having quantatative data on that animal's behavior, as well as on that of others in the colony can reveal more precisely the magnitude, of various, sometimes subtle, effects of electrical stimulation on individual and collective social behavior.

This guy was pretty messed up. --He thought that humans needed to be controlled for their own good. --As do many other players in the creepy world of mind control. And that was several decades ago.

A guy I knew in the military who was in a position to know told me that the cell phone system is more about monitoring everybody. However, he was also aware that the brain could be controlled through energy manipulation and confirmed extensive application of this. So. . , my thinking is that the energies the cell phone net bathes us in are also very good at making people behave in certain ways by directly stimulating the brain, which makes it a secondary system to the big ol' HAARP thingy. This has been confirmed by a couple of channeled sources. (Ouija board stuff.)

In any case. . , cell phones are messed up. Just look at the people you know who use them regularly. Don't they seem a bit. . , well, dumb to you? Unless you are one of them. Then you probably aren't able to see it. The brain's a funny thing that way.
