Watch out for off brand communication devices…state terrorism.

Only bright spot could be that people think deeper in depending on gadgets. It could blow up in your face!

Wait till Elon Musk gets his mind blowing (literally) neural chip into production

I suppose that is why all parts of war hardware from the US is made in enemy countries!

In 2024 If its not inside the US, it will be in an enemy country. That’s because post Cold War “America” has expanded that list to include pretty much everyone. I still remember Wolfowitz doctrine.
US fights for people that don’t like it, against others that would prefer being left alone.
I looked up the powder charge for a 30-06 cartridge (considered a relatively high powered rifle cartridge). A high end charge would be about 2 grams of powder. The story speculated between 2 and 20 grams of explosive was used but the volume of that much explosive would be hard to fit inside a pager I think. 2 grams is more likely…would take up about the volume of a AAA battery. There are likely more compact chemicals than rifle propellant though.
The follow on (at bottom of main story) piece said other devices (radios, walkie talkies) began exploding today, some had been purchased ten years ago. This makes me suspect the batteries themselves may have been the explosive device. It would have been easy to put batteries in the pagers on the way to delivery. Getting booby trapped batteries to hezbollah members for their old electronics is obviously more complicated. Getting a ‘triggering’ signal to the batteries is more complex. Spare batteries not installed in a device exploding would be a notable story and we haven’t heard of this.
Here’s an LA Times article speculating on how the pagers might have been rigged.

here’s a link to a lithium battery exploding (disassembled , in water). Significant energy there.

Its the explosive the fanatical MI6 agents placed everywhere disobeying their hirarchy’s instructions. Its not the lithium.
The Beirut port explosion most likely happened in a similar way. A series of shell companies that allow compromise of the supply chain.
Lithium isn’t the culprit here.

Here’s a link to a Syriangirl post on X offering some possibilities. Theory is software instructed a battery short, which heated the pagers and set off the explosive.
Another one floating around that American University of Beirut switched out all it’s pagers 10 days ago (forewarning?).
Syriangirl may be a bit ‘out there’…but makes some interesting posts
on X: “SkyNews reports the type of explosive used in the pagers was PETN. It’s not exactly clear where they got that information and how accurate it is. The info on the explosive suggests it is sensitive to heat, but also shock and friction. Which means any of the pagers could have https://t.co/4WSR3g9pTT” / X

What if the technological ability to send a signal to heat up the lithium battery causing it to explode exists and that knowledge got out to the masses?Everyone would stop using their devices or at least cut aback resulting in nullification of the perception control and psychops utilized by their use to control narratives and the “truth”.
So add to the exploding device narrative, “they were packed with a small amount of explosives”…(not true) posturing “hey they’re still safe to use”…? Ummm
I know my phone is programmed to shut down if over heated. It happened once while I was sitting in the sun not realizing it was uncovered. If that can happen what’s to say an override to that feature plus the ability to send a microwave signal intermixed with the cell tower signal to heat the lithium battery?
