Homelessness Tracking, Digital Wallets, Obama Phones

Government programs may utilize digital payment systems to increase surveillance and tracking of homeless populations. By providing smartphones, often referred to as "Obama phones," agencies can require "clients" to use digital wallets for benefits, potentially tying access to compliance with health mandates or vaccine testing. This shift would effectively turn every individual into a trackable number within the financial system.

Smith-Mundt Modernization Act, Obama Phones

The Smith-Mundt Modernization Act of 2012 is cited as the legal framework allowing the U.S. government to disseminate propaganda domestically via social media. The "Shadowgate" documentary suggests that the distribution of free "Obama phones" with unlimited data plans facilitated influence operations during events like the Ferguson riots. These devices are characterized as tools for tracking and manipulating low-income communities through integrated intelligence apps.

Telecommunications Provisions and the T-Band Auction Repeal

The relief bill contains a telecom section that includes funding for "enhanced Lifeline" phones and emergency broadband. A specific provision titled "Don't Break the T-Band" seeks to repeal the auction of certain radio frequencies. The hosts cite this as evidence of sloppy bill-drafting where lobbyist slogans were accidentally included as official headings.

Quarantine Selfies, Poland and The "Obama Phone"

Poland has implemented a mandatory app for quarantined individuals that requires them to upload selfies at random intervals to prove their location. The hosts joke about the difficulty of enforcing such measures on people with older flip phones, suggesting the government might eventually issue "Obama phones" or tracking bracelets to ensure total compliance with digital surveillance.

Homelessness Crisis, Irrelevant Class, Millennial Housing Market

The growing homelessness crisis in cities like San Francisco and Berkeley is described as the emergence of an "irrelevant class" of people who have no path back into the modern economy. Millennials are reportedly being discouraged from homeownership by false beliefs about 20% down payments, when 3.5% options exist. The hosts contrast current conditions with the "Obama phone" era, suggesting that the underclass is being pushed into permanent shanty towns or "favelas."

NBC Red Phone Report and Teletype Technology

An NBC report regarding President Obama using the "Red Phone" to warn the Kremlin about election interference is scrutinized. The hosts point out the absurdity of "highly classified" information being leaked to NBC. They explain that the "Red Phone" is actually an antiquated teletype system with long-travel keys, rather than a literal telephone.

The Obama Phone Lady and Campaign Viral Videos

A viral video featuring a woman shouting about receiving a free "Obama phone" is analyzed as a potential campaign setup. The hosts clarify that the Lifeline program providing subsidized phone service actually dates back to previous administrations, including Reagan and Clinton, but is being used as a racialized political tool.

United Nations Global Tax, SDRs and Local Taxation

The United Nations is reportedly moving forward with plans for a global tax system to finance international initiatives, supported by the Obama administration. This would likely involve Special Drawing Rights (SDRs) as a form of indirect taxation. The hosts also complain about the high level of existing local taxes on cell phone bills, hotels, and car rentals in the United States.
