The 5G-Driven "Smart Farming" Scheme: an Attempt to Make Farmers and Ranchers Obsolete

We are being told that the 5G rollout occurring around the world will produce nothing but wonders and convenience from lightning-fast download speeds to self-driving cars to refrigerators that tell us when they need refilling - or even order food directly to be delivered to our door! Oh, and let's not forget the fast internet that will be benevolently bestowed to rural and isolated areas.

The truth about the global 5G scheme is far more disturbing.

What it means is millions more small cell towers interspersed throughout our communities worldwide - as many as one 5G small cell for every few houses. This "super-speed" wireless technology would expose us to pulsing electromagnetic frequency that is many times stronger than the current (already dangerous) 4G technology - up to 300 GHz. 5G uses ultra high-intensity millimetre waves, in addition to the microwave frequencies used by 4G and 3G.

Facial recognition cameras would be attached to many of these towers while a planned 100,000 5G satellites would put almost the entire planet under video surveillance. Billions of everyday objects - from garbage cans to appliances to clothing to baby's diapers - would be connected to the 5G grid, monitoring us, tracking us, and collecting data on us. All these electronically-connected devices are referred to as the Internet of Things or IoT. The data collected would then create algorithms that would be used to make our decisions for us. 5G is tied to a vast expansion of artificial intelligence, which, once in place, would automate and eliminate hundreds of millions of jobs worldwide.

The 5G grid is exposing us to horrifically dangerous levels of electromagnetic radiation, levels to which human beings, animals, and plants have never before been exposed.

It is a proven fact that non-ionizing radiation causes biological effects leading to health damage and a staggering number of symptoms and diseases. You can see some of the studies showing this here, here, and here.

In short, the 5G infrastructure underpins a massive scheme of top-down, globalized social engineering, and as I will outline in this article, the scheme does not stop at the city limits.

During 2019 and 2020, we have experienced the rapid rollout of 5G infrastructure in countries around the world as the powers-that-be attempted to cement a technological advancement that would provide them with unprecedented control over human beings, human communities, and life and energy on the planet. In effect, this was a concrete attempted takeover by the Technocracy, pushing a brand of globalized, top-down social engineering that would "transform" our societies and lives without our permission. 

5G-Driven "Smart Farms" and "Precision Agriculture"

As stated, the 5G scheme is not just for city folk! If the insanity went forward as planned, the Internet of Things would reach into rural areas, into farmyards, onto ranches, and into small towns all over the world.

It's being called "precision agriculture."

This scheme would make farmers and ranchers obsolete on their own land via 5G-driven "Smart Farming."

You can call it Smart Farming, sustainable development, Agenda 2030, or The Great Reset. They're all one and the same, all rooted to the same driving desire for technocratic globalized control by the world's most wealthy.

It's about control through technology - particularly control of food and agriculture. Control the food, control the people.

Artificial intelligence, self-driving machinery, aerial drone crop spraying, SmartCows (yes, SmartCows), constant monitoring and tracking with the Internet of Things - and all with a heavy dose of radiation poisoning!

How long will it be before it is made mandatory to chip each animal in the herd and provide constant data on them?

10 Ways 5G Will Change Farming and Agriculture by Jamie Carter

"From crop drones to insect detection, the farms of the future will rely on 5G....

Cue agritech, which is about to get a boost from upcoming 5G-powered ‘precision agriculture’, such as 5G drones and connected farm machinery. “Agriculture is rapidly adopting transformative 5G technology to monitor the environmental conditions for optimum plant growth, and to track, feed, monitor livestock and even milk cows without human intervention,” says Professor Mak Sharma at Birmingham City University. “Other examples include the ploughing, sowing, feeding, health monitoring and harvesting of crops autonomously and without human intervention using 5G connected farm machinery.”"

"Without human intervention?" 

Well, who needs humans at all anymore? Why stop at making ranchers and farmers obsolete, at destroying their soul's blood way of life?

Hell, the proponents of 5G are attempting to make biological human beings obsolete, period! A sorely outdated technology in desperate need of a transhumanist update. Yes, the plan is for human beings themselves to be merged with technology and connected to the Internet of Things, just one more source of data for the machine. They call it "neo-humanity," and if that doesn't put a chill up your spine, I don't know what would. Check out Initiative 2045.

It would be a rare independent farmer or rancher who could actually afford all these technological updates (or who would have any desire to farm or ranch in this way), so this is, of course, a further attempt at consolidating globalized corporate control of agriculture and food production and distribution.

Another point missing in this Smart Farm scheme is this: farming and ranching are a way of life, not just a job. They're about more than just ultra-efficiency and making money. This is physical, hands-on work, never meant to be done solely by machines.

This is true for the relationship most people have to work. People need meaningful work in their lives. They need to be productive. The scheme to create a fully automated world where human beings and human work are afterthoughts is a truly anti-human scheme.

Taxpayer-Subsidized 5G Satellites: Paying for Our Own Radiation Poisoning and Obsolescence While Making Billionaires Richer

The primary method by which the 5G-driven Smart Farm scheme would be rolled out in rural Canada and the U.S. is through Elon Musk's Starlink satellites.

Musk has an inherited position in the global Technocracy, as his grandfather Joshua Haldeman was head of Technocracy in Canada in the 1930s and 1940s. 

Musk's SpaceX corporation has plans to put 12,000 5G satellites into the atmosphere, all beaming dangerous levels of frequency and electromagnetic radiation down to millions of user terminals on the ground while detrimentally altering the natural electromagnetic field of the entire planet. These 12,000 Starlink satellites are among more than 100,000 5G satellites planned by various groups and countries.

As of the end of November 2020, Musk's SpaceX corporation has launched more than 800 Starlink satellites, 16 batches in total with more going up regularly. Beta testing of these satellites began in October 2020 in lower Canada and upper United States, blanketing these areas with new electromagnetic radiation. 

From Arthur Firstenberg:

"The 100,000 planned 5G satellites, each with a designed lifespan of 5 to 10 years, must be constantly de-orbited and replaced. This means that at least 10,000 satellites will have to be launched every year, forever into the future. If an average of 50 satellites can be launched on each rocket, that’s 200 rocket launches per year, just to maintain the satellites used for cell phones and Internet. And it means the de-orbiting of 10,000 worn out satellites per year, burning them up in the atmosphere and turning them into toxic dust and smoke. And that’s not counting the ever-increasing numbers of weather, research, tracking, monitoring, surveillance, military, and other kinds of satellites and missiles being launched in what will soon be a parade of rockets burning prodigious quantities of fossil fuels, punching holes in our atmosphere on a daily basis, and treating the source of all life as Earth’s largest garbage pit."

Adding to the criminality of this scheme is the fact that the people are paying for their own radiation poisoning and surveillance, not to mention the automation of their jobs, including farming and ranching via Smart Farms and "precision agriculture." In other words, the people are paying to make themselves, their livelihoods, and their ways of life obsolete via the 5G scheme.

Technology is a massive cash cow (pun intended), particularly the trillion dollar 5G scheme. The world's billionaires and trillionaires are cashing in...hard. And just like the banking bailouts in 2008, there is a massive transfer underway of public money and taxpayers' dollars to the power elite. 

The United States Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has set aside $9 billion of taxpayers' money and public funds for the 5G rollout in rural areas, called the 5G Fund for Rural America.

"The Federal Communications Commission today launched the 5G Fund for Rural America, a 10-year, $9 billion program designed to help close the nation’s digital divide. The money will be used to expand 5G wireless broadband connectivity to areas of the United States that need this support, including regions without unsubsidized 4G LTE or 5G mobile broadband, and Tribal lands. Specifically, $680 million has been allocated for bidders focusing on Tribal lands.

That’s all part of Phase I, which has been budgeted $8 billion. Phase II provides $1 billion plus any unused money from the first round to build out 5G networks in support of precision agriculture. Any bidder that receives money from the 5G Fund agrees to establish 5G mobile broadband at speeds of at least 35/3 Mbps."

So at least $1 billion of public money is being used specifically for 5G networks that would support Smart Farms in rural areas. The 5G scheme is also being foisted upon indigenous people with $680 million allocated for subsidies. The Los Angeles Times has reported that Elon Musk's businesses have received $4.9 billion in government subsidies to date, though not all 5G-related. 

Musk's SpaceX corporation has been granted $856 million by the FCC to extend 5G to rural America via Starlink satellites, which are untested over the long term. A very risky and dangerous investment of public funds, to say the least. Critics suggest that investment in fibre optic cables would be a better long-term bet. Billionaire Elon Musk is one of the richest people in the world, sucking up taxpayers' dollars via government subsidies for his Starlink scheme.

In just a single example, we see $44 million being gifted to Musk's SpaceX corporation to bring 5G to rural Mississippi:

Mississippi Skies May Soon Harbor SpaceX Satellites to Increase Internet Access by Julian Mills 

"Elon Musk’s SpaceX plans to deploy its satellite internet constellation Starlink in the state by next year, potentially bringing a new type of satellite internet to tens of thousands of rural Mississippians. The FCC recently awarded SpaceX $44 million to bring its new internet capabilities to an assigned 38,956 locations in the state." 

If you proceed to the article, you will notice zero mention of radiation concerns, concerns over surveillance, or concerns over automation of jobs and farms in the "Drawbacks and Scrutiny" section of the article.

Because this is a global scheme, similar payouts of public funds will be occurring in countries around the world.

The Canadian government, too, has outlined a plan to transfer billions in taxpayer dollars and public funds to the telecommunications industry for the 5G rollout in rural areas. Again, Smart Farms and "precision agriculture" are specific goals.

From a report titled, Accelerating 5G in Canada: Canadian city and rural benefits, produced by Accenture Strategy in collaboration with the Canadian Wireless Telecommunications Association

"The Canadian Government has set a target of achieving 95 percent broadband coverage for homes across the country by 2026 and is formulating coordinated plans to provide $5B to $6B in public and private sector investment to connect underserved communities over the next 10 years." 

There is a stated goal with the 5G rollout of "near global coverage of the populated world." This means the dream of living off-grid or having a little farm away from the insanity of it all is much less possible under the 5G scheme, which plans to extend its tentacles to nearly every place on Earth that is inhabited by human beings.

We Have Never Before Been Exposed to Millimetre Waves, Zero Safety Testing for Long-Term Exposure

 

Australia is another country experiencing a very aggressive 5G rollout, planned to include rural areas. The country has just divvied up the millimetre wave spectrum to the highest bidders, a process going on in countries all around the world. The U.S. spectrum sale began in December 2020 and has already soared to $34 billion.

Successful applicants announced for 5G millimetre wave spectrum from Australian Communication and Media Authority 

"Faster and more reliable internet for metropolitan and regional Australia and innovative new uses for digital technology are some of the expected outcomes of Australia’s first major allocation of millimetre (mmWave) wave spectrum... 

A number of successful applicants intend to provide wireless broadband services across all states and territories and across urban, regional and rural areas. There was also considerable uptake from fixed satellite service providers across Australia, including from existing providers and new entrants to the Australian satellite market. 

The mmWave spectrum has been allocated through area-wide apparatus licences, a new class of license that represents the first step in the series of 5G-ready allocations in these mmWave spectrum bands. 

mmWave can enable the transfer of large amounts of data with minimal delay – allowing faster digital communication and new opportunities for connectivity and innovative uses supporting Australia’s digital transformation." 

We have never before been exposed to this variety of 5G frequencies or to this intensity of electromagnetic radiation. There has been zero safety testing showing it is safe for human beings, animals, or plants to be exposed like this, especially on a continual or near-continual basis. 

Millimetre waves have most commonly been used in directed-energy weapons called Active Denial Systems used for crowd control by the United States and Israeli military. These weapons direct millimetre waves at people, making their skin feel like it's burning and producing intolerable effects. This raises the possibility that the 5G grid could be used as an energy weapon either overtly or covertly.

60 GHz Frequency and Damaging Effects on Oxygen

There also appears to be confirmation that the 5G Starlink satellites will use the oxygen-damaging 60 GHz frequency.  

Starlink launches 60 more satellites but commercial service faces delays by Jack Loughran 

"The FCC has given Starlink permission to launch around 12,000 satellites into orbit which operate using V-band frequencies (radio frequencies of 40-75GHz), rather than the more standard K-band frequencies (radio frequencies of 12-40GHz)." 

The 60 GHz frequency not only absorbs oxygen, it alters the molecules so that they cannot attach to hemoglobin as readily, hindering the distribution of oxygen in the body. 

Radiation-related lung injury is a well-known phenomenon and can cause pneumonia and fibrosis (scarring) of the lungs. Early symptoms of radiation-related lung damage include dry cough, low-grade fever, and shortness of breath and are usually present one to six months after exposure. Inflammation of the lung tissue can also be experienced. These symptoms can progress to respiratory failure and death. 5G was initially kicked into gear in October/November 2019. Outbreaks of illness with similar symptoms as well as "global lockdowns" were widespread in countries with early 5G technology by March 2020.

In a declassified U.S. government document from 1977, titled Translations on USSR Science and Technology Biomedical Services: Effects of Non-Ionizing Electromagnetic Radiation, the damaging effects of millimetre waves were reported after studying exposed rats and mice. A lowering of hemoglobin levels as well as the inhibited oxygen consumption rate of mitochondria were observed, among other serious health effects. This, too, suggests oxygen depletion in the body as a result of millimetre wave exposure. The report does not state whether 60 GHz was used specifically. If not, the findings indicate damage to oxygen uptake and distribution in the body from millimetre waves, in general. 

The section of the report on millimetre waves begins on page 57. Findings:

  • damage to skin, internal organs, bone marrow, and lymphatic system

  • receptors in the skin are particularly affected

  • lowering of hemoglobin level

  • inhibited oxygen consumption rate of mitochondria

  • suppression of central nervous system

  • alteration of adrenal system and hormones

  • affects on liver, kidneys, heart, and brain

  • disruption of electron transport chain

  • changes in the protein spectrum of the blood

  • reduced level of protein synthesis

Blood clots have also been shown in the bodies of people who have fallen ill with what is being called Covid-19. These, too, have a connection to electromagnetic radiation exposure.

Covid-19, Blood Clots, and Possible Exacerbation from Electromagnetic Fields (EMF) by Dr. Rob Brown 

"It is now recognized that COVID-19 causes blood clots, both in arteries and in veins. The cause for this appears to be multifactorial. The virus damages the cells that line the blood vessels, the endothelium, and causes an immune response which, in itself, may cause increased viscosity of the blood. Dr. Maria Pavlis, a cardiologist working in a suburban hospital of NYC, told me last night that most of their patients with COVID-19 are now being placed on blood thinners.

Where does EMF fit into the relationship between COVID 19 and blood clots?

Evidence that EMF can cause a reaction in endothelial cells, increasing the risk for blood clot formation, was first described in 2004. EMF exposure may also induce Rouleaux formation, a reversible condition where red blood cells adhere to one another and become stacked, one on top of the other like a stack of coins. This phenomenon may occur with many conditions, including infections, connective tissue diseases and cancer. Rouleaux formation can be associated with increased viscosity of the blood and can cause the blockage of small arteries."

You Can Run, But You Can't Hide - So Stay and Fight Instead

As stated, if the insane 5G scheme goes forward as planned, it will be almost impossible to escape the damaging frequencies, even in rural areas. The 5G satellites will be blanketing rural areas with new frequencies, continually exposing people who have never been exposed to intense electromagnetic radiation like this before. These rural people are not even accustomed to the current levels of electromagnetic radiation and mass use of cell phones and wireless devices in cities. Their bodies will be ill-equipped to deal with this new influx of radiation, to say the least.

We can see very clearly the top-down plans for a hyper-controlled, hyper-surveilled, and socially-engineered future, a future that puts technological advances ahead of human needs and lives. We must resist these schemes, speak up and communicate our values, and show that we will not allow this to happen on our watch. 

We must fight to maintain our connection to nature and to the natural rhythms and cycles of this Earth. We must fight to stay grounded, to stay anchored, and to stay stable amidst circumstances that have been intentionally created to disconnect, stress, and unbalance us. 

Farmers and ranchers do more than just the (very valuable) task of producing food for us. 

They are timekeepers, living according to the timing of nature, to the natural seasons and cycles of Earth, the same way people have lived for millennia. They connect us to a fundamental, Earth-based rhythm, no matter how far we live from the nearest field or pasture. They connect us to the Old Ways and to the Old Soul of this planet. This grounding anchor, this precious and ancient energy cycle that replays year-after-year in beautiful regularity, is much more valuable than many city folk believe it to be. This grounding anchor, the energy of the Old Ways, helps to keep us connected, balanced, rooted, stable, and sane. It is a treasure. It is fundamental to life as we know it. 

The powers-that-be know this. That's why they have attacked and eroded people who live on the land throughout history. They have attempted to destroy our fundamental connection to nature, as well as our independence and self-sufficiency, but they have failed, and they will fail here, too, as long as we fight for what's ours. 

With the global schemes in over-drive, we are in real danger of becoming disconnected from the Old Ways, from the grounding rhythms, and from the natural, healing frequencies of Earth. We must actively fight to maintain our way of life as nature-connected, biological human beings. 

It's imperative that we consciously resist these scams and schemes, doubling down on our own values, our own traditions, and our own nature connections. 

Please take time out of your day to be outdoors on a regular basis. Stand on the ground. Lean against a tree. Breathe deeply. Look up at the stars and the moon, the same way your ancestors have for thousands and thousands of years. Connect with the Earth, with your root to the Earth, and reinforce that connection. Be grateful for that connection. Be grateful that you are of nature, that you are of this Earth. 

 Fight for naturally-produced and human-produced food by sourcing and purchasing food directly from independent farmers and ranchers or from stores that carry food from independent producers. Request that stores carry local products whenever possible. 

Fight for the value of human beings and of human work! These fools believe technology is more important than flesh and blood. 

Above all, please keep up a personal effort to ban 5G worldwide.

I encourage people to read Mark M. Rich's book (available online for free or hard copy for purchase), New World War: Revolutionary Methods of Political Control. Rich is a targeted individual who has exposed the shift into technology-based warfare. This book was published in 2011, so it shows how well-developed this weaponized technology and weaponized energy was even ten years ago. The capabilities are well-advanced now and are coming together into a cohesive scheme with the 5G rollout.

This section is about high-powered lasers, and the part that is particularly disturbing is the use of Space-Based Lasers (SBL). If these lasers can destroy missiles, they can also destroy human targets and property.

https://newworldwar.org/hpl.htm

"The US Air Force and the BMDO are currently funding the Space-Based Laser Integrated Flight Experiment (SBL-IFX) program, which aims to have high-powered lasers affixed to satellites by 2010.

The program team also consists of TRW, Lockheed Martin, and Boeing. Reportedly, these SBLs will be used to shoot down ICBMs [Intercontinental Ballistic Missiles] anywhere on the planet. A beam from an SBL will destroy a ballistic missile target in its boost-phase.

An SBL allows for missile interception by focusing and maintaining a high-powered laser on a target until it achieves catastrophic destruction. Up to 24 orbiting satellites would be equipped with an HF megawatt laser capable of shooting a beam of energy up to 5,000 kilometers.

The lasers will be able to destroy missiles in less than 10 seconds, and retarget in ½ second. According to the US Air Force, these systems will be capable of detecting and negating such targets anywhere in the world at anytime.

In June of 2004 under the heading, US Wants to Build Space Laser in Total Secrecy, in the Ottawa Citizen, the Canadian Military warned that the public is being misinformed regarding the progress and scope of the SBL program. They said that the program exists so that space could be dominated by the US and its allies. And that information regarding it would become increasingly scarce. This may be true, because according to the US Military, destroying missiles isn’t the only intended use for SBLs.

SBLs offer the capability to strike targets on the ground, says the DSB. The SBL will also be used for ground surveillance and reconnaissance, destroying enemy satellites, and airplanes. The SBL will be used in direct, offensive roles against adversarial targets, including the strategic interdiction of soft ground targets, and other military targets, says the US Air Force.

But an SBL isn’t required to send a beam of energy from a single source to anywhere on the planet. According to the Air Force, a ground-based or air-based laser weapons platform can use relay mirrors to accomplish this. With a minimum of three space-based mirrors, a laser beam originating from earth could be directed anywhere on the planet at the speed of light.

The mirrors can be either space-based attached to low-earth orbiting (LEO) satellites, or air-based attached to unmanned aerial vehicles UAVs. The US Air force says that such an arrangement allows for a ground-based laser to perform all the same functions as an SBL. In 1991 the Air Force’s relay mirror experiment successfully demonstrated that a laser can be shot from the ground to a mirror attached to a LEO and be reflected to a target on the surface of the planet."

We already know MuskBot 2030 is planning to put tens of thousands more satellites into orbit than are necessary for internet service. He's lining up the U.S. military as a customer.

Willow said...

"Musk has said SpaceX will need at least 400 Starlink satellites in orbit for "minor" broadband coverage, and 800 satellites aloft for "moderate" coverage. The initial Starlink plan called for a megaconstellation of 12,000 satellites, and SpaceX recenty filed paperwork with the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) to launch another 30,000 satellites. The ITU is a United Nations agency that manages the global satellite radio-frequency spectrum, among other things.

Ultimately, SpaceX may not need so many satellites in orbit for global coverage. But having them available will allow SpaceX to use some satellites for customized service, Shotwell said, according to SpaceNews.

One of those potential customers may be the U.S. military."

https://www.space.com/spacex-starlink-satellite-internet-service-2020.html

MuskBot is militarizing and weaponizing space while irradiating the ionosphere and planet with deadly electromagnetic frequencies.

Oh yeah, and his Tesla electric cars will fry you, too.

How is this man being hailed a super green visionary who is saving the planet? Pure insanity.

"6G vision for 2030" - The SmartHuman (TM) Life

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T6ubRoZCeVw

Nooooooooooooo thank you!

This horror show is based in the United Nations Agenda 2030 and the "Sustainable Development Goals." The creation of Smart Cities, Smart Humans, the Internet of Things, and the Internet of Humans are all elements of this top-down global scheme.

This is the vision for Digitized Dystopian Hell on Earth.

Willow said...

The real purpose of the StarLink satellite scheme involves "space-based military intelligence and surveillance." This will also keep rural people under surveillance more easily. I watch in horror as rural people applaud Elon Musk as some sort of "hero of the working class" while he is basically shutting them into an electronic cage. Lasers can also be attached to low-orbit satellites. I'm not sure if StarLink satellites could be used for this reason.

"Taran highlighted the importance of utilizing space-based technology for Ukraine’s security interests, noting that it would allow for better monitoring of its borders and other areas of strategic interest. He also noted that the technology would allow for better intelligence gathering and analysis, allowing the country to respond quickly to threats and other potential dangers.

The new space-based surveillance and intelligence system is expected to be deployed within a few years. It will be used to monitor Ukrainian borders, airspace, and other areas of strategic importance. The system will also be used to detect potential threats and hostile activity, with the aim of deterring such activity before it occurs..."

In November 2020, United Kingdom Prime Minister Boris Johnson announced an increased investment in the 5G-driven techno-military, including directed energy weapons, artificial intelligence, and surveillance. SmartMilitary, SmartPolice, SmartSurveillance. This is no conspiracy theory. The "Global Government" is actually quite blatant about its plans. These plans are global, and the same technology and weaponry will be used on people domestically.

Johnson:

"Our new investments can be focused on the technologies that will revolutionize warfare, forging our military assets into a single network designed to overcome the enemy. So a soldier in hostile territory will be alerted to a distant ambush by censors or satellites or drones, instantly transmitting a warning using artificial intelligence to devise the optimal responses, offering an array of options from summoning an airstrike to ordering a swarm attack by drones or paralyzing the enemy with cyber weapons. New advances will surmount the old limits of logistics. Our warships and combat vehicles will carry directed energy weapons destroying targets with inexhaustible lasers. For them, the phrase "out of ammunition" will become redundant. Nations are racing to master this new doctrine of warfare, and our investment is designed to place Britain among the winners. The returns will go far beyond our armed forces from aerospace to autonomous vehicles, these technologies have a vast array of civilian applications."

Elon Musk's taxpayer-funded 5G Starlink satellite scheme is part of the further militarizing of space. He has already declared the U.S. military as a big customer.

From 2019: SpaceX's Starlink Broadband Service Will Begin in 2020: Report: The U.S. Air Force is already testing it in military planes.

"Musk has said SpaceX will need at least 400 Starlink satellites in orbit for "minor" broadband coverage, and 800 satellites aloft for "moderate" coverage.

Creating the 5G-Driven Surveillance State

"Starlink, the satellite-based internet service from SpaceX, is set to revolutionize remote surveillance and security. With the ability to provide high-speed internet access to virtually any location on the planet, Starlink can enable organizations to monitor and protect their assets in even the most remote locations...

Finally, Starlink could be used to monitor remote areas for security threats. With its global coverage, Starlink could be used to detect and track suspicious activity in remote areas. This could be especially useful for governments and security agencies that need to monitor large areas for potential threats...

This is because the service can be used to monitor and detect suspicious activity, allowing authorities to respond quickly to any potential threats."
