Fake Cell phone base stations, or ISMI catchers, which allow a third party to listen to phone conversations and monitor other phone activity, were found in Oslo around the Norwegian parliament building, the Prime Minister's home, among other places. At this point it is not known, or at least revealed, who planted them. Criminals? Members of the government spying on other members? More Five-Eyes shenanigans?

    Oh, so that's where I lost those things. I'm very sorry to have been a bother. You can just send them back COD and we'll cover the shipping.

    Thanks again,

    I don't know if the translation is not great, or if it's the Norwegian press standards that are very different from what I'm used to, but skimming on the form of the article, it's an interesting read, reasonable on the details.

    The fact itself stinks of public-opinion-shaping tactics, I'd immagine govt's find and remove this shit regularly all over the world. The whole story of "hey look I'm a journalist and I found rouge antennas" sounds kinda staged, but, well, plausible, so credit for them.

    Let's look what will it unwind. Nothing good for the people, probably.

    Until you understand this, you are still BLINDED by this world:

    "For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places. Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand firm."

      So what you're saying is:

      Jesus take the wheel.

      Yeah that's going to help. /sarcasm
