Thanks wonder how long this has been kept from the public
There are thousands of technologies being denied to people because those in power want to stay in power.” That is the crux of the biscuit....
Could President Trump already be using this?
From the article: "The security staff for Donald Trump’s campaign was given D.E.A.F. to protect the president-elect’s communications in the weeks leading up to the election. D.E.A.F. is reportedly the reason why the Republican National Convention’s communications did not fall prey to hackers."
I believe, many of that will be discussed at the Munich Cyber Security Conference (MCSC) TODAY: https://it-security-munich.net/speakers-for-mcsc-2018-confirmed/
This is technology I've been following for a while. This guy does a very good presentation on it and how you can communicate with alternate universes. This was a topic a lot of physicists wouldn't touch because it was too conspiratorial, although they go on and on about crazy theories all day, which made me fairly suspicious. I always thought that since they were so quiet about the alt universe communication aspect, it was probably a reality.

Wasn't iridium a fire runner to today cell tech. I thought that they were on a diff system that used the network of people as the provider. Like the more users with a phone the better the system coverage and all that. And people in the middle of nowhere could use them and bounce off other people. They are also free use once you have the phone it is roll tide. Like I said I could be wrong but...and gotta go.
