yeah that's actually
Top LobstaHOST
72:25
kind of what do you what do you think about the idea of like nano nanoparticles uh being dispersed in the air because you know they do this kind of shit with mosquitoes google's like oh yeah we made mosquitoes and released them in florida and nobody told you they love to do that they just smart dust
AndrewGUEST
72:39
you know micro electromagnetic sensors is what they're called the men's uh

Lights are going up.
AndrewGUEST
74:31
That is what's now possibly programming people even to be more kind of acquiescent to the state, et cetera, through COVID vaccines, why we've seen such a programmability with people since COVID, uh, It could have a lot to do with cell membrane computing, which, by the way, Epstein was very big in funding.
AndrewGUEST
74:49
So this is, you know, again, all-encompassing system.
AndrewGUEST
74:52
And the smart dust, I think, is another factor of this.
AndrewGUEST
74:56
So when you look at the Microsoft patent, 06-06-06… Yeah, that's right.
Noel BrownHOST
9:12
Your boy can have a rutabaga, too.
Noel BrownHOST
9:14
While harvesting them, Bag Badger says, my mind wandered to a recent episode about smart dust and how... would or how we would or could, or how rather would or could it could be used to affect vegetation.
Noel BrownHOST
9:28
Guys, we should take a quick pause.
Noel BrownHOST
9:31
Was that about... delivering nutrients or it was like about even testing soil? What was remind me about the how smart dust was being suggested to be part of like the, you know, what's the word I'm looking for? Agricultural kind of supply chain or process.
Ben BowlinHOST
9:46
Yeah.
Ben BowlinHOST
9:47
So so for this one, the idea here is that you would be able to work closely, as Noel just said, monitor the the nutritional content of the soil.
Noel BrownHOST
10:29
I could see, yeah, some egalitarian uses for something
Ben BowlinHOST
10:32
like that.
Top LobstaHOST
129:21
Here we go.
speaker_9SOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
129:22
There is something called smart dust there dropping in the sky.
speaker_9SOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
129:25
I think this is the answer behind the so-called chemtrails that we are seeing get sprayed.
speaker_9SOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
129:29
There is a patent for this created in 2016, and it's a product of DARPA and handed to Wells Fargo.
speaker_9SOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
129:35
Smart Dust is known as MEMS, an acronym for Micro Electro Mechanical Systems.
speaker_9SOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
129:40
The MEMS device sensors are called MOTES.
speaker_9SOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
129:43
The chip is so small, it makes a salt crystal.
Matt FrederickHOST
4:28
Okay, then I guess we're doing it.
Matt FrederickHOST
4:30
Let's jump to the phone lines and hear a little message from Big Cheese, who's been listening to us talk about SmartDust.
Matt FrederickHOST
4:38
Maybe you have too.
Matt FrederickHOST
4:39
Maybe you've had a nightmare or five about that episode and the concept, like we have.

Ben BowlinHOST

And there is a huge rise of authoritarian far-right governments throughout Europe, despite your political leanings.
Ben BowlinHOST
61:03
If you are a fan of democracy, you should be worried.
Ben BowlinHOST
61:08
Astute listeners, audience members who are watching this on Netflix, you may recall during our SmartDust episode, I was pulling out a few books from another life.
Ben BowlinHOST
61:17
One of these books was Democracy in Europe.
Ben BowlinHOST
2:28
It used to be, hey, I like science fiction too.
Ben BowlinHOST
2:32
But as we know, this is inspired from a previous conversation on Listener Mail where our fellow conspiracy realist Jai Sri Ram asked us for more information about something called smart dust.
Ben BowlinHOST
2:47
Jai Shree, you sent us down the rabbit hole proper on this one.
Ben BowlinHOST
2:51
So what exactly is this dust? What makes it smart? And why are some experts so concerned? We'll be right back.
Ben BowlinHOST
5:30
A moot of a backstory, if we may, courtesy of our old paterfamilias, Marshall Brain.
Ben BowlinHOST
5:38
Marshall Brain wrote about SmartDust years and years ago in an article for HowStuffWorks.
Ben BowlinHOST
5:44
And the way he explains it, smart dust is just one of the more recent names for a computing concept, also known as MOTES, M-O-T-E-S, or wireless sensing networks.
Ben BowlinHOST
5:57
And Marshall is the guy who taught us how to break complex ideas down into simple, understandable components.
UrbanHOST
5:37
We're also going to talk about how that connects, where so, you know, maybe this sounds like sci fi and nonsense, and just a mythology on the surface level.
UrbanHOST
5:48
But what I'm going to talk about tonight is how it actually overlays perfectly to something called smart mesh, which is a product developed by our favorite UC Berkeley dust networks, smart dust.
UrbanHOST
6:03
We're going to get into it.
UrbanHOST
6:04
We're going to start off.
UrbanHOST
6:46
Yeah, so they're making more of a debut now in the 2020s than they ever did back when they were writing this stuff.
UrbanHOST
6:52
But I should also start off by saying their time span that they were active, 1995 to about 2005.
UrbanHOST
7:01
It's the same time that the Smart Dust project was being completed at UC Berkeley.
UrbanHOST
7:06
Okay, so a couple of texts that I found.

And it's called Smart Dust and Quantum Dots.
Bryan ArdisGUEST
49:43
Smart Dust.
Bryan ArdisGUEST
49:46
Smart Dust.
Bryan ArdisGUEST
49:46
You know what a smart TV is, right? Smart Dust is an invention of MIT...
Bryan ArdisGUEST
49:54
and DARPA in the United States, and all of you have it in your urine and in your blood samples.
Bryan ArdisGUEST
50:00
We have a lab with an electron microscope, and we can confirm it all in 100% of all people.
Bryan ArdisGUEST
50:32
You never told us you were doing this.
