Contact tracing: the next authoritarian frontier
American Thinker ^ | 24 May, 2020 | Carol Brown

Oh, joy! “Contact tracing” is ramping up. Under the guise of concern for public health, contact tracing allows the left to continue their totalitarian advance, as the federal government leaves it up to states to develop these intrusive measures Contact tracing + tech overlords = We are tracking your every move, we know where you are, and we will deliver tyranny to your front door.

SNIP

Whitmer noted that it’s critical that people answer their phone for this to work and so you can be informed that you’ve had contact with someone who’s had contact with someone who’s had contact with someone’s who’s infected. But my guess is that if you don’t answer your phone, given what we’ve seen these past couple of months, they’ll come to your house.

SNIP

This entire affair should be deeply concerning for all Americans. Among other things, it’s rife with potential for abuse (and that’s assuming one thinks this entire ordeal is acceptable even if it’s not abused). Since the state won’t tell you how they came to you in the first place, it would be easy to target certain individuals who we can call, for the sake of argument, enemies of the state.

That’s why it’s now ‘hippa’, ‘schmippa’. Turn off the phone and leave it at home. Amazed at the reaction when some people learn you avoid cell phones. Like “What’s wrong with this guy?”. LOL! Made out just fine before them, can make out just fine without them.

Contact tracing is rather pointless at this point.

With the number of cases and number of hospitalizations declining trotting out thousands of inexperienced contract tracers is a waste of time and money.

But that is pretty much why they are doing it IMO. I wouldn’t be surprised as this winds down, Pelosi and her gang try to make them permanent Federal employees (unionized of course).

Contract tracing is most useful at the early stages of an epidemic and rather pointless after reaching pandemic stage.

Putting my phone in a Faraday cage, where’s the tin foil. I wonder if you start getting pulled over by the cops if to appear and disappear from the cell grid, as you use your phone at various locations but there is no data for your movement between points.

The API for these "apps" ship in iOS 13.5 and the Google Android equivalent.

Supposedly, it is disabled by default.
When the tracing app is downloaded (supposedly voluntarily), it is supposed to be disabled (not tracking) by default
You supposedly have the control to disable this at any time (right!)

Sorry folks, just to "Mark of the Beast" for me. The thought of someone having the capability of being tracked constantly and my whereabouts recorded for future review is bad enough. Add the ability to find you and confront you if you've either been exposed (yeah I was in the area of someone 2 weeks ago who later tested positive) just rankles me!

Add to the fact that there will be the capability to link this to future financial functions (got to get rid of that dirty, contaminated paper and coin currency and go electronic!) just adds more red flags. Oh, and if you don't have the app or the verification chip (Verichip) to prove you've been vaccinated, no service provided (404, authorization failed, do not pass GO, do not collect ANY dollars!).

It's here folks, being rolled out in front of your eyes. The only thing government is doing is allowing Gates, Soros, and the rest of the globalist elites and satanists to use them for "validation and cover". If you're not off self-sufficient now, it may be too late....

“Karens” just what I was thinking. Scolding you at the front door like an ex.

We have the Karens walking on our culdesac yelling at us for not wearing our masks in 80 degree weather during high sunlight on roads over 35’ wide, while we are walking.

My neighbors and I are telling these Karens and Chads to go hell and get off our culdesac.

I live rural on 389 X 630 prsel.

My house is more than 70 feet back from perimeter fences & gates.

ALL gates have NO TRESPASSING signs on them.

They will get NO information from me.

“I DON”T REMEMBER” worked for Hillary-—why not all of us???
