They will use the two-way communication to cut power, whenever they feel like they can get away with it. This will be a gradual change, not everywhere at the same time.
As the US infrastructure declines, and we move into Third World $h1t-hole status, we will have more brown-outs and blackouts, electricity will be centrally controlled. They are trying different models around the country. Some millionaire high-rise condos are already bragging about having their own power generation source.
As our infrastructure continues to deteriorate, we will see controlled take-downs more and more.
Itâs part of the de-industrialization of the US, which was publicly announced the 70s with the Lima Accords (although it was disguised as Economic Democracy. It was sold as bringing the rest of the world up to US standards, but was understood by insiders to mean taking the US down to world standards.)

WELCOME! As youâve probably noticed, you have to use 20 characters to post to the board. A pain in the @$$.
That does seem like it would probably be one potential use of these, either for simply shutting off power if a bill isnât paid or for the sake of rationing power depending on availability.
Most areas with sunlight can generate enough power to run their own buildings, but obviously need a battery bank system, generators or to be connected to the grid to work withought sunlight.
Hereâs a new building on capitol hill with a massive solar array and water recycling system, can operate fully off the city utility grid as a âliving building.â
The Bullitt sisters, very wealthy, were a strong support for the real environmentalists back in mid-century America, and had a lot to do with Seattle being a wonderful city.
Everything important gets taken over. I remember when the Big Boys took over the environmental movement, and the Bullitt Foundation fell along with all the other groupsâŚ
At that time, in the 1980s, the Bullitt sisters were too old to put up a fight.
I donât agree that everything important always gets taken over by something.

Pretty much as your YT link said.
There is also reports of Pakistan Treasury in major trouble.
HRC really picked these guys out of some bunch as The Most Dangerous Country On Earth because it has nukes. I wonder whoâs going to bail them out? Will they be bailed out or, have to surrender assets?
This is nastyâŚ
I accept that a lot of the internet is AI now but this one isnât working the rounds yet. Will see if we get that multiplier affect.
The only thing I can think of that is still around and has not been taken over is lineage Asian martial arts.
Even Yoga has becomes commercialized.
If something canât be taken over, ir gets taken down . Iâm thinking here of the Human Potential Movement. No one under 40 has even heard of it, yet it was a HUGE part fo the 70âs counter-culture.
The rest of the 70âs counter-culture - organic food, rock nâroll, FM radio, alernative newspapers, environmentalism, food coops, peace activists, community activists, mind-body health, have all been co-opted and de-natured, to where they are now part of the corporate DeathMachine.
Iâm not familiar with the corporate death machine, but are you saying that has conquered death itself, all of the forces of nature, the sun, moon, planets, and all of the stars in the sky?
What even is that, then?
By the Corporate Death Machine, I mean organized human activity that has been growing since the 1700s The governing rulers of Europe became better and better at utiiizing their human resources, rurning their âsubjectsâ into cogs of an industrial machine that spread over the planet, sowing death and destruction, in the form of materialism and consumerism.
They chopped down the forests to make the massive navies to ârule the worldâ. They built machines that poisoned the rivers and lands. These factories were supplied by peasants forcibly removed from their land base in the countryside, forced into the cities.
There is a long, interesting, and fretsome history of industrial development. Iâm not aware of any one book that pulls in the whole sweep, descrssibing industrialization growing like a cancer on the planet, but there are a zillion books that are like flashlights in a cave, to highlight specifics.
I call it corporate, because from the start, with the worldâs first corporation, the Dutch East India company, to the present day, the hidden rulers can have untrammelled control that is also invisible and unaccountable. We do not know who these people are behind the corporations that control the corporations.
