Ubiquitous Bluetooth and PAN - Personal Area Network

[Ninurta]

I've been discussing this topic with my conspiracy minded older brother and he now turns off the Bluetooth feature in his devices. He claimed that his phone turned it on by it's self, something my laptop did to me apparently.

I was at a friend's house that has a fast internet connection to view some work related videos on my laptop. Now, month's later, when I actually tried the Bluetooth feature, the laptop had a list of every available device at their house and there was a lot of them. You need to establish a connection by pairing, so I hadn't actually connected to these devices. Of course, I never activated the Bluetooth in the first place either.

About 2 or 3 years ago, I had a cell phone that kept turning on it's own bluetooth, wifi, and microphone. After the second time it surreptitiousdly turned on it's own mic, I "degoogled" it and cured that problem. I don't know that it was nefarious, as it kept on turning on it's own airplane mode as well, and I don't see a good surveillance reason for that. Might have just been a glitch in the software.

Turning on all that stuff by itself did seem to be burning through a lot of battery, though, and that was annoying.

Without looking into the operation concepts  of nano circuits capable of digital communication, I suspect it may work like sub dermal micro-chips that operate with a system known as Near-field Communication. This requires a very close intimate  range to function, however, it may be possible to create a high powered directional unit that could work at a greater distance.

NFC is a set of short-range wireless technologies, typically requiring a separation of 10 cm or less. NFC operates at 13.56 MHz on ISO/IEC 18000-3 air interface and at rates ranging from 106 kbit/s to 424 kbit/s. NFC always involves an initiator and a target; the initiator actively generates an RF field that can power a passive target. This enables NFC targets to take very simple form factors such as unpowered tags, stickers, key fobs, or cards. NFC peer-to-peer communication is possible, provided both devices are powered.[54]

NFC tags contain data and are typically read-only, but may be writable. They can be custom-encoded by their manufacturers or use NFC Forum specifications. The tags can securely store personal data such as debit and credit card information, loyalty program data, PINs and networking contacts, among other information. The NFC Forum defines four types of tags that provide different communication speeds and capabilities in terms of configurability, memory, security, data retention and write endurance. Tags currently offer between 96 and 8,192 bytes of memory.

Microchip implanted under the skin could be your COVID vaccine passport
Tiffiini Theisen, Orlando Sentinel Wed, December 22, 2021

. . . The chip uses near-field communication (NFC) to send the data to devices, including smartphones, that can read them.
It’s the same type of technology used in most contactless credit cards and mobile payments, according to Fox Business.
Such devices have a range of practical applications.
“They can act as a key fob or a form of payment, or they can be programmed to store data, like, for instance, your resume. (All you have to do is hold a smartphone over the chip to program it.) ,” according to Hour Detroit Magazine. “They’re not dissimilar from the identification chips you’d install in your cat or dog.”

. . . Many responses to Friday’s video were negative and angry.
Some noted that involuntary microchipping via vaccination was a prominent conspiracy theory last year.
A poll taken in May 2020 found “44% of Republicans think Bill Gates is working on a coronavirus vaccine because he wants to plant a microchip in them and monitor their movements,” the New York Daily News reported.

Apparently the Bill Gates micro-chip theory goes back to spring of 2020. The following may be the most popular source of this conspiracy.

Bill Gates’ coronavirus vaccine will have nano trackers, will be controlled via 5G satellites to take Islam out of Muslims: Pakistani ‘expert’ Zaid Hamid

The Pakistani 'expert' Zaid Hamid claimed that Bill Gates would embed nanochips in the body of people worldwide through his vaccines and then America would conduct global surveillance through its 5G towers. No one would be able to work or travel without America's permission.

Bill Gates’ vaccines would take away Islam from Muslims: Zaid Hamid
He goes on to make the oblivious aware that Bill Gates has drafted a plan according to which the entire world will be under lockdown for almost a year until he does not come up with a vaccine for the diseases. The lockdown will only open when the vaccine is ready to be given to people. And the vaccine developed by Bill Gates will have such a drug in it, which will take away Islam from all the Muslims, claimed Hamid.
Hamid also claims that the virus is designed to make the Jews rule the world and target Islamic nations. When the anchor asks whether China too is involved in it, Hamid dodges the question, instead says that the American version of the virus is different than the Chinese version.

Well apparently this nano-tagging via vaccination conspiracy has a basis in facts. It is possible to create "nano-bio-computing" lipid nano computer circuits. Bellow is from the NIH back on Feb 22, 2019 . . .

Abstract

Using nanoparticles as substrates for computation enables algorithmic and autonomous controls of their unique and beneficial properties. However, scalable architecture for nanoparticle-based computing systems is lacking. Here, we report a platform for constructing nanoparticle logic gates and circuits at the single-particle level on a supported lipid bilayer. Our "lipid nanotablet" platform, inspired by cellular membranes that are exploited to compartmentalize and control signaling networks, uses a lipid bilayer as a chemical circuit board and nanoparticles as computational units.

On a lipid nanotablet, a single-nanoparticle logic gate senses molecules in solution as inputs and triggers particle assembly or disassembly as an output. We demonstrate a set of Boolean logic operations, fan-in/fan-out of logic gates, and a combinational logic circuit such as a multiplexer. We envisage that our approach to modularly implement nanoparticle circuits on a lipid bilayer will create new paradigms and opportunities in molecular computing, nanoparticle circuits, and systems nanoscience.

In 2019, they weren't quite there yet apparently as a "scalable architecture for nanoparticle-based computing systems is lacking."

However by Sept 2020 . . .

Nanoparticle-based computing architecture for nanoparticle neural networks by Thamarasee Jeewandara , Phys.org

. . . The von Neumann architecture (VNA) underlies the operations of multiple arbitrary molecular logic operations in a single chip without rewiring the device. In a new report, Sungi Kim and a team of scientists at the Seoul National University in South Korea developed the nanoparticle-based VNA (NVNA) on a lipid chip. The nanoparticles on the lipid chip functioned as the hardware—featuring memories, processors and output units. The team used DNA strands as the software to provide molecular instructions to program the logic circuits.

The nanoparticle-based von Neuman architecture (NVNA) allowed a group of nanoparticles to form a feed-forward neural network known as a perceptron (a type of artificial neural network). The system can implement functionally complete Boolean logical operations to provide a programmable, resettable and scalable computing architecture and circuit board to form nanoparticle neural networks and make logical decisions. The work is now published on Science Advances.

Nano particles could be used to control behavior since 2010, in addition to the ability to create nano-computers now.

With Magnetic Nanoparticles, Scientists Remotely Control Neurons and Animal Behavior
By Ellen Goldbaum Release Date: July 6, 2010

BUFFALO, N.Y. -- Clusters of heated, magnetic nanoparticles targeted to cell membranes can remotely control ion channels, neurons and even animal behavior, according to a paper published by University at Buffalo physicists in Nature Nanotechnology.

. . . "By developing a method that allows us to use magnetic fields to stimulate cells both in vitro and in vivo, this research will help us unravel the signaling networks that control animal behavior," says Arnd Pralle, PhD, assistant professor of physics in the UB College of Arts and Sciences and senior/corresponding author on the paper.

. . . The method the UB team developed involves heating nanoparticles in a cell membrane by exposing them to a radiofrequency magnetic field; the heat then results in stimulating the cell.

Hummm? RF field? I wonder what frequencies are used? Could be almost any after nearly 12 years of research.

DARPA Is Funding Nanoparticles That Permeate Brain to Read Neural Signals

The military already wants them for new brain-computer interface tech.

Instead of getting invasive neural implants needled into your brain, doctors may someday be able to flood your head with millions of nanoparticles that can read your neural signals from inside and relay them to a nearby computer.

At least, that’s the future that University of Miami engineer Sakhrat Khizroev is hoping for. He’s developed magnetoelectric nanoparticles (MENPs) that can travel through your bloodstream, permeat your brain, and read individual neurons’ signals in a way that can be picked up by a specialized helmet, according to a university press release.

In short, it’s a tool that could drastically change the way scientists approach brain-computer interface tech by taking away invasive, localized probes and replacing them with millions of particles that are injected like any other shot and can cover the entire brain — and one that’s already attracting interest from the military.

“Right now, we’re just scratching the surface,” Khizroev said in the press release. “We can only imagine how our everyday life will change with such technology.”

I think that article was from March, but if they are talking about it, they probably already have it working.

It'll make you paranoid when you realize your phone has just been sitting there listening to you for the past couple hours! It's kinda creepy!

I have a new phone now, and I've not caught it doing that. If it does, all I have to do here is unplug my repeater station, and it's lost, can't communicate. I'm in a "dead zone", with no stray radio waves to bounce around, of any kind, so in order for it to work at the house I've set up a "network extender", a repeater station for cell signal, like a mini cell phone tower. All I have to do is unplug it, and any cell connections magically disappear.

I used to joke about having to pipe in sunshine into these hills, but as it turns out in the realm of communication that's damn near true. No TV signals, no radio signals, no cell signals here, other than what I provide myself by "piping it in". The only other way anyone could get a signal in here would be to station a satellite directly overhead, or put a drone on station directly over head and orbit it around my little hole in the hills - and I'm not important enough for them to go to all THAT trouble!

Before I put that network extender in, I had to climb about 700 feet to the top of the ridge behind me before I could get into a cell signal stream. The higher you climb, the steeper it gets, and before you get to the top you're crawling on your belly, but vertically, to claw your way up 3 feet forward, then slide two feet back, repeat...

I have satellite radio in my car, and even that goes dead at places as the satellite gets masked by ridges or, in the summer, leafed-out treetops. This tin roof blocks all signals from directly overhead, and the mountains themselves block them from coming in through the sides of the house and the windows.

Yikes!  this all is creepy


Somehow borgs come to my mind,   resistance is futile you will be assimilated .

During initial stages of assimilation, Borg nanoprobes began attaching themselves to the victim's red blood cells, allowing them to circulate throughout the body. (VOY: "Scorpion") Within minutes, the nanoprobes spread visibly through the capillaries of the victim's skin. The victim, at this point, still retained his or her individuality and had virtually none of the Borg's standard array of defenses. Left unchecked, the nanoprobes soon begin self-replicating and producing larger constructs that form the necessary Borg implants. Among the first major structures assembled was the neural transceiver, allowing the Collective to tap into the victim's mind and usurp control of his or her body. A vocal subprocessor was also installed. By this time, the new drone's skin coloration had changed to a pale gray and mottled as some small implants began to emerge inside and outside the body. In some cases, the skin and face became at least slightly deformed due to the implants growing in and on the body. (Star Trek: First Contact; ENT: "Regeneration"; VOY: "Unimatrix Zero, Part II") The drone was then taken to a Borg facility to have larger implants surgically installed, including tools, weapons and exoplating. (VOY: "Unimatrix Zero")

The Government Is Serious About Creating Mind-Controlled Weapons
By Edd Gent published May 23, 2019

DARPA, the Department of Defense's research arm, is paying scientists to invent ways to instantly read soldiers' minds using tools like genetic engineering of the human brain, nanotechnology and infrared beams. The end goal? Thought-controlled weapons, like swarms of drones that someone sends to the skies with a single thought or the ability to beam images from one brain to another.

This week, DARPA (Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency) announced that six teams will receive funding under the Next-Generation Nonsurgical Neurotechnology (N3) program. Participants are tasked with developing technology that will provide a two-way channel for rapid and seamless communication between the human brain and machines without requiring surgery.

A wise choice. The route to madness lies in that rabbit hole... eventually, the realization that they are attempting to "tag" us as livestock, like any good rancher does with his cattle and sheep, dawns, and then it is but a short trip to the psychological institution gulags when you try to warn folks and are branded as "crazy" in the coverup that follows.

It's the plot of a bad dystopian sci-fi flick, and here we are, living it... and no one will believe until it is too late.

I may be causing thread drift with this connection to RF activated vaccines and DARPA mind control research.

The inspiration for the thread was control of smart devices and monitoring the most intimate aspects of our lives via Bluetooth and 5G. As personal and invasive as this theory of RF activated nano-tech vaccines is, it doesn't include Bluetooth specifically and is a separate but related theory.

I will add that I have heard the argument that with everyone having smart phones and all the smart devices we use, that the system is already in place to keep track of our location as well as to influence our minds, so no need to go with nano tech methods that are in the research stage (supposedly).

I will work on these as two different theories and leave this DARPA nano tech theory as a related subject.

Might be someone doing a driveby trying to hack into your network with a Pringles can antenna.

I don't usually get any stray computers trying to connect to my network because, boonies. However, I have a neat little app on my cell phone that detects every signal trying to penetrate. It detects cell signals and wifi. It's how I found a surreptitious 5G signal that suddenly appeared. There ought not to be any 5G out here, but when I tracked it down, I found it was coming from my own router. Someone got into my router and reconfigured it for 5G. No idea how in the hell they did that. It was a secondary router, only used to connect a printer to the network, so I just unplugged it, and the 5G went away. I'm going to do a factory reset and see if that cures it.

The purpose of the app is to detect radiation exposure from RF, but it works well to identify stray signals, too, and that's about all I use it for.

When I was in Kansas City, I was on a wifi "mesh net", but that was wifi for computer access, rather than bluetooth for all device access, so it was higher speed.

Very cool. I think that this computer named "austin" was from my GF's Kindle Fire (Amazon board). Not sure yet.

[Michigan Swamp Buck]

I connected to my open WiFi network with the kindle and my smart phone and neither of them showed up on my computer network like this "austin" computer did. Also, nothing should show up on my network unless it is a computer, other devices, along with my computer, need an app to share files and isn't directly involved in my network.

I also walked out to the road to test the connection distance from all my WiFi networks with a smart phone, tablet and lap top and for the most part all signals disappear at the road, but the tablet could still connect to at least one. Certainly not enough of a signal to connect from a car unless they came up the drive some 50ft.

The WiFi can-tenna idea is interesting. Maybe someone has an outdoor directional WiFi antenna that they can rotate and happened to scan past my location looking for WiFi signals. I've tried that without being able to connect to anything, maybe that has changed since I did that. I should go on the offensive and hook up that antenna again and see if I can find anyone near by with a computer named "austin".

I am beginning to believe that this incident where a computer named "austin" appeared on my private network was actually a paranormal experience, something I considered the moment it happened.

This incident occurred on Feb 28th. On March 2nd, two days later, my stepdaughter's boyfriend, named Austin, had an accident. He was moving a large water heater when it fell or dropped on one of his hands and crushed it severely. He's had surgery and has a bunch of pins holding it together now.

Got to listen to your guts, because it was this Austin I was thinking about.

I recently have had a new, strong WiFi signal pop up.  So I put an app on my telephone that tells me which signals are present, and their strength.  Walking around, it appears the new signal is coming from a building across the street.  I suppose their WiFi router is next to the window and beaming directly down to where my laptop is.  Maybe I should start wearing tinfoil on my head!
