I recently stayed at this type of hotel in Houston. It was a depressingly modern, brand new condo-complex. About half of the units were privately owned by individuals, the other half was corporate short-term rentals. I think one corporation had all of them in this building because you could see all of the connections from your WIFI menu. The technology was standardized. The TV’s were set up for streaming only. I was there working and had a book so didn’t bother with my TV.
Later in the evening after I had returned from dinner, I was reading on the sofa. My TV suddenly turned on of its own accord. Then I see porn streaming on the screen. Then it goes off and on intermittently. And finally, I see some random dude’s face on his selfy cam trying to figure out why his porn won’t stream to his TV. At this point, I started unplugging shit. LOL.
That is very freaky Jeffrey. I would have started unplugging shit too, and fast! Unreal how unsafe all this cloud / fairy dust is...can you imagine if a family was sitting down to watch the Muppets, and then they see that? Just incredible.
"Depressingly modern" is the right term for sure. Thanks for sharing your experience - as crazy as it is, this is the info people need to hear, it may dissuade "normies" from staying at these types of conveniently creepy places.
in a way there is even worse stuff they target to infants and toddlers. ‘A midwestern doc’s recent substack showed a long clip of it recently in his article about how children’s brains are being programmed/damaged by screens. i could barely watch it; just skimmed but it was truly horrifying what young impressionable minds are being fed along with their more pedestrian tho brain-zinging cartoons.
100% Someone told me SMART stands for not what we are told...I forget...I'm making my own acronym on the spot...Surveilling Malignant Asinine Radical Technocracy LOL
Thank you Elsa for emphathizing! It truly was surreal...but glad I went through it. I know understand the real pitfalls. Even if I had a phone, the fire risk alone is enough for anyone not to stay in this type of place I believe.
Wow, what a nightmare. The "requirement" of having a cell phone concerns me. It's becoming common for a business to expect you to have a cell phone on you. Since I never carry a cell phone when out and about locally this can be a problem. When traveling it's in a faraday bag.
Thank you John for sharing your experience. Yes the requirement is like that unspoken rule that we all agree to, but the more of us who don't, just like those of us who keep insisting on paying cash...the better. However I don't have much hope for the smart hotel industry, they'll keep doing their thing - but there are tons of other hotels that are "normal". Airbnb is a data company, whereas Hampton / Hilton is in the hospitality industry.
Life is less convenient at times, but our kind of lives make it more convenient for our true spirit to flourish I believe.
I tell myself as a consolation, that at least I, like yourself, are aware of the battle ahead, whereas so many just launch headlong into an abyss.
Hi Atlandea - thanks for sharing that - sorry to hear it. Yes it doesn't surprise me. Generators use switch mode power supplies, which emit kHz frequencies that are carcinogenic and biologically active if not filtered correctly. Thanks for chiming in.
Incredibly depressing. I haven't travelled since 2008 and wondered how difficult it had become for someone without a cell phone. The thought of being locked in a hotel room is frightening. I have never liked electronic locks. I don't even like the idea of having a car without a key to start it...
I hear you Kristin - the good news is there are still many hotels that don't require selfies, and why the less of us who use airbnb, vrbo etc the better. Most cars before 1986 don't have electronics, so get an old car if you can!
I have a 2005 car and like it just fine. Although I preferred to have a manual roll down window on the driver's side, this car doesn't have much I don't like. I would be very annoyed with a backup camera, tire pressure detector, automatic transmission, LED headlights, bulky, weird fob thing instead of a key, computer screen on the dash, GPS, not sure what other junk they are using these days.
We vote for these policies with our investments. For instance, most stock market index funds are 35% or more big tech, last i checked. So if we have a 401k or other investments (which the majority of Americans do), we are funding this kind of dystopia, including universal wireless radiation and AI. Take a close look at the funds you own. Imagine if we all just said no. I divested several years ago after realizing the truth.
thanks Roman! - what a revealing report of the dystopian nightmare travel has become! i 'm glad i did lots of traveling in past decades when it was much more human centered, tho i do appreciate your sacrifice in getting out there to spread the word about light, health and emf.
glad you 'stuck to your guns' about the facial recognition BS. the average hacker aka criminal must be salivating about all the data they can scoop up from the 'cloud'.
if you feel like sharing, what is your connection with weston a price foundation and what was your role at the conference as their representative?
btw, yesterday i watched the interview you and Bodhanna did with Dr Yoho - excellent job both of you.
Thank you Yantra! Yes the whole experience was nutty. Sounds like you have some traveling stories to tell. My role with WAPF was as a volunteer, I was at their booth educating people about the foundation, etc. I got involved years back, but moreso since we moved to Arizona trying to find sources of raw goat milk - that's when I contacted WAPF and connected with a local leader, then she could no longer make the conference and asked me if I wanted to do it.
I'm not super political or anything, consider myself an independent not left or right, but I thought the conference would be a great opportunity to meet others and connect, which it was. I was honored to be around so many young, bright minds that are trying to change the future for the better.
My only fear is that the speakers and celebrities of the conference would turn the Charlie Kirk movement into a divide / conquer holy war. But we shall see. Hope that helps answer your question!
Yikes, what an awful experience! It kinda surprises me that Weston Price Foundation would book you a room in that kind of place! Aren't there still old-fashioned B&B's? Highly unlikely to be "smart" in most ways, certainly not like "Cozy Suites." What a misnomer! Glad you survived.
Thank you Betsy - yes it was a nutty experience for sure. WAP didn't know it was "smart" until after they booked it, and they did do the selfie, however probably won't again after I told them about all the dangers. Yes and don't you love all those misnomers?! They're always the opposite. Give me a Muddy Hut vs a Cozy Suite and I will live in opulence. I'm still glad I got to attend the Turning Point / Charlie Kirk conference as it was an eye-opener. So many young people out there that want to make a positive difference in the world - a new generation that has hope I believe - many are in shape physically and mentally, and were different than the norm I've seen here on the east coast.
"I stayed in a Smart Hotel" and "here's what I learned"?? Roman, you gave us more than what I bargained for. It is just like you to add other goodies along the way, like exactly how to navigate one if you find yourself in that position (with pictures) and a link for how to make 4th dimension water (haha, don't laugh, I can't remember what that is called, but I'm going to return to find out how to do it).
Sometimes, a person can't always choose what they want. Traveling, all the way around, is getting less sympathetic, and you validated every point of this.
Thanks for sharing. You help me know that even if someone convinces me it's a "safe" and "ok" place to be, nope, it's not.
So Roman, where are the best directions available for how to create this "fourth phase of water" using red lamp? I'm going to ask you first instead of hunting for it first.
And thanks again, for adding so many little objections I can now explain (to others) as to why I don't want to be part of it.
Hi Charlene, thank you. I appreciate you letting me know how & what you found valuable about the article. That's why I also like to put an emphasis on fire risk, apart from EMF, as this is a risk most can understand.
You could also put a glass jug of water out into the sun for an hour or so, as infrared is around all of the time, however the lamp just ramps up/ accelerates the process so you can have this type of water all the time. Putting water in sunlight for too long makes the water molecules sluggish "lazy" if that makes sense.
Thank you Denise! Glad you appreciated it. Pollack is changing science and biology as we know it. How long have you been researching / known of his work?
Respect for the author and the information shared. Sympathy for the absolute nonsense he had to go through.
But, I am a total normie here -- and while I definitely do NOT want to ruffle any of the cognoscenti's feathers (my kids were educated in Waldorf, fwiw) -- my biggest and first ask would be a solid EMF meter covering a wide range of frequencies ( 50 hz to 5G ghz levels would do it), and throw in an ultrasonic detector.
the problem is (from my very limited searches) that these things are either cheap & garbage or quality and quite expensive. the circuitry and electronics to accurately measure frequency and power directionally over 8 orders of magnitude is no joke.
Short of that, I'd avoid these modern hellholes like the plague. I'd much rather stay in some super humble place with few/no amenities than deal with this stuff....
Oh yikes, what an experience! For those of us browsing Airbnb spots that are a bit more cutesy, hut-like but still *might* have some tech, what kinds of questions do you suggest we ask the host (either before we book or once arriving) ?
Great question LoWa. I would first see if the platform requires you to provide ID via "selfie" aka biometrics. That's a big no-no in my book, but not all airbnbs may require it. I would also ask the host if they have wi-fi cameras on the premises, since this can disrupt sleep and also is a privacy concern. But often it's listed if they do have cameras. Whereabouts r u located? Cottages Canada is a decent site.
A fantastic, fascinating post, with the mark of a true wordsmith as evidenced here:
"In the days of Olde, herdsmen who wandered the countryside in search of greener pastures were called nomads. Today shepherds of the Western world have transformed into digital nomads, seeking places of refuge from the 9-5 animal farm. Yet an invisible wolf stalks them all the while. The predator trails them like a shadow to virgin lands, devouring communities from the inside out with fangs of unabated electrosmog, disemboweling the security of society with the not-so-smart technology that supports a digital lifestyle."
I have a question about the red auto lens tape. I've been looking for something like this to cover things in my rental home but haven't found anything easy to remove. The product you linked to seems to have strong adhesive. How the heck do you remove it from the hotel when you leave? Or maybe you have a recommendation on a similar product that's easier to remove? Thanks!

Yeah, I thought about the kids angle too. It was super creepy.

Smart is the new dumb! https://timothywiney.substack.com/p/literal-sheeple
Thank you Timothy for stopping by and chiming in - will take a look at the article.
in my mind, 'smart' has become a "dirty word".
100% Someone told me SMART stands for not what we are told...I forget...I'm making my own acronym on the spot...Surveilling Malignant Asinine Radical Technocracy LOL
or maybe it just means the verb smart - as in "this smarts" , meaning it hurts!
What an experience!!!!!! It would be a nightmare, but a nightmare is usually about unreal fears. Your experience: real and nightmarish.
Thank you Elsa for emphathizing! It truly was surreal...but glad I went through it. I know understand the real pitfalls. Even if I had a phone, the fire risk alone is enough for anyone not to stay in this type of place I believe.
I empathized with the total powerlessness, unless there was human intervention.
Wow, what a nightmare. The "requirement" of having a cell phone concerns me. It's becoming common for a business to expect you to have a cell phone on you. Since I never carry a cell phone when out and about locally this can be a problem. When traveling it's in a faraday bag.
Life is becoming less and less convenient.

You may already know about this. A friend is sure that his cancer was caused by sleeping in his motorhome over the running generator.

That is a really good point - there are practical ways we can starve this beast, if each of us do what we can in our own way.

Wow.
I thought all of that tech was supposed to be convenient and make our lives easier.
It seems we've been sold a bill of goods.
You hit the nail on the head Kyle - we've been sold an idea...fairydust, nothing more.
Water filter - I like! I also bring my own shower and sink filters! Remind me to do a post about that! And an air purifier too!
Nice! What kind of shower filter do you like?

Hi Charlene, thank you. I appreciate you letting me know how & what you found valuable about the article. That's why I also like to put an emphasis on fire risk, apart from EMF, as this is a risk most can understand.
To make the 4th phase plasma water, I used this far infrared table lamp https://www.relaxinfraredsauna.com/shop/p/relax-far-infrared-table-lamp, and pointed it at the water. This company also sells infrared saunas - if you ever have questions about the lamp or the sauna, you can contact Gerard (I met him at the conference): https://blinq.me/JA7olrZ4JekdZpFUz67A?u=Ay5lsfOP
You could also put a glass jug of water out into the sun for an hour or so, as infrared is around all of the time, however the lamp just ramps up/ accelerates the process so you can have this type of water all the time. Putting water in sunlight for too long makes the water molecules sluggish "lazy" if that makes sense.

Cold water has more electron density thus more energy.
I love Gerald Pollack. Thanks for this information Roman. Really good of you to provide it.
Thank you Denise! Glad you appreciated it. Pollack is changing science and biology as we know it. How long have you been researching / known of his work?
If you click on the link you find it is not Gerald Pollack. It is another Gerald selling FIR stuff. Some of us are not fans of MLM.
Hi Angela, no his name is Gerard who sells the FIR. He's a colleague (I get no credit from sales). It's a coincidence of names.
Respect for the author and the information shared. Sympathy for the absolute nonsense he had to go through.
