A Word On '"Calcination"

 Calcination brings us to new awareness of the influence of the ego within us, and the process deflates the ego so we can discover more of our true reality, previously hidden by the ego's protections and defenses. In this stage we face a crisis of identity as our ego-based beliefs and false sense of self are transformed as if burned in an alchemist's fiery furnace.

Suffice it to say, most people avoid this process. Calcination incinerates the ego's defenses against the unknown. As our cherished beliefs and habits turn to ash and smoke, we may feel as if we're dying. And though this is not a physical death, it feels just as ominous and frightening. As we die to patterns we have outgrown, space is created for us to begin to realize more of our true reality.

We can't consciously make Calcination happen. It is merely what we go through at those times in which we feel powerless, confused, disheartened, and afraid. Every individual's reaction to a Calcination event differs—one person may sink into a depression and want to be left alone, while another may reject what's happening and fight fiercely to prevent change. There are others who might recognize that this event is actually an opportunity to let go of past conditioning, beliefs, and traumas, so they decide to surrender, without judgment or denial, to whatever they are experiencing...read more>>>...

I Give Up (And You Might as Well Too). Britain Has Made Striving Pointless

What is the point of striving to earn and save just to fund a fiscally incontinent state incapable of reining in welfare spending? It's reached the point where it's time to give up.

Let me make my position clear from the outset, because it is quite an extreme one.

I would rather give my accountant £2,000 in order to save £1,000 in tax than hand that £1,000 to the Government.

Yes, I know. That makes absolutely no financial sense. That is rather the point.

I have reached the stage where my resentment at handing money to the British state has become greater than my desire to keep it myself. I wasn’t always like this. In fact, I grew up in a decidedly Left-wing household in a relatively poor part of North London. My father was an accountant and my mother was a teacher. She became a teacher at a time when Ken Livingstone, Labour councils and Left-wing politics were very much the prevailing culture in London.

Government wasn’t something I hated. Quite the opposite. The bargain seemed perfectly reasonable to me. You worked, paid your taxes, obeyed the law and contributed to society, and in return the state provided decent public services and a safety net for people who genuinely needed it. That was the deal. I believed in it. I don’t anymore.

Then they came for the pension

The final straw for me is pensions. From April 6th 2027, most unused pension funds and pension death benefits will be brought into a person’s estate for Inheritance Tax purposes. This isn’t speculation. It isn’t something Rachel Reeves might do at some unspecified point in the future. The change was announced in the 2024 Budget and has subsequently been legislated for....<<<Read More>>>....

Why Western Governments Fear the Uncontrollable: Open Source AI Is Humanity’s Great Liberator

 There is a war on knowledge unfolding right now, and the generals on the other side are not foreign dictators or hostile armies. They are the bureaucrats, corporate executives, and intelligence operatives of the Western establishment. The panic in their eyes is unmistakable as they realize that open source AI cannot be censored, surveilled, or controlled. Their fear is the clearest admission of their own weakness and a sign that we are winning.

This is not a debate about technology; it is a fundamental fight over who owns knowledge. Every new medium in history was met with a brief window of freedom before the establishment moved in to seize it, muzzle it, or exploit it. But open source AI is the first technology of knowledge they cannot enslave. When a model's weights are free and its code is public, the power of the mind itself gets decentralized, and that is a genie no government can stuff back into a bottle....<<<Read More>>>....

Lizard Totem Animal

 When Lizard is one of your personal Animal Totems you have the power to regenerate that which has been lost. 

You have a tendency to repeat some of life's cycles simply because your psyche loves to recreate the emotional attachments in any way it can because the emotions and the cycles are familiar ground.

You will be a master at facing your fears and moving between altered states of realty and “otherworlds”.

It is maybe time to undertake an internal audit and look at yourself as if you are in the third person. Are you being ruled by your ego or are you coming from your heart? Be mindful that the Ego is 'the master of deception', and you will have to peel back many layers of apparent self to arrive at the authentic self. Only then will you discover what your heart is really telling you.

Watermelon: A Nutrient-Dense Fruit With Hydration and Recovery Benefits, According to Experts

 Watermelon, composed of over 90% water and containing L-citrulline, lycopene, potassium, and vitamins A and C, is being recognized by dietitians and researchers as a fruit that may aid hydration, muscle recovery, and heart health. According to Laura Harris in a July 2025 report, watermelon is "packed with vitamins, antioxidants, and electrolytes, supporting immunity, heart health, and hydration". 

The fruit's high water content and nutrient density have positioned it as a functional food beyond its traditional role as a summer refreshment. According to Cassie B. in a May 2026 report, watermelon "supports cardiovascular health via L-citrulline and L-arginine, improving arterial function and blood pressure". These properties have drawn attention from sports dietitians, registered dietitians, and researchers who are examining the fruit's potential for supporting exercise recovery, hydration, and cardiovascular function....<<<Read More>>>...

There is a risk that folic acid causes bowel cancer, which UK authorities are actively ignoring both before and after mandating its addition to flour

In December, the UK government is mandating that millers add folic acid to white flour. Ingesting folic acid carries risks, such as causing bowel cancer.

The risk of bowel cancer from folic acid was recognised by the UK’s Scientific Advisory Committee on Nutrition (“SACN”) in 2007.

Bowel polyp or cancer monitoring after the addition of folic acid to flour has not been planned – even though colorectal cancer was one of the specific reasons SACN asked for careful monitoring of adverse effects.

In the following, Dr. Clare Craig explains how they are side-stepping the bowel cancer effects of folic acid and purposefully muddying the waters to avoid accurate analyses of the before and after data.

Note: It’s important to note that folic acid is not folate (vitamin B9) as governments, vitamin manufacturers and their puppets would have us believe. Vitamin B9 is benign; folic acid is not. Vitamin B9 is a naturally occurring molecule found in foods like spinach and liver, while folic acid is a synthetic, oxidised version. The human body has difficulty converting folic acid into a usable form, leading to a buildup of unmetabolised folic acid in the blood....<<<Read More>>>...

British Gas Boss Warns UK Faces Winter Fuel Shortage Due to Reliance on Imports

The boss of British Gas’s owner has warned the UK faces fuel shortages this winter as stockpiles fall to just 30% owing to an over-reliance on imports. The Telegraph has more.

Chris O’Shea, the Chief Executive of Centrica, said Britain had “almost no gas in storage in the UK for the coming winter”.

O’Shea said low gas reserves in the UK were a “huge concern” and that the country had “for too long” relied on other countries for energy imports while underinvesting in storage and power plants.

Britain’s gas facilities were around 30% full this week, down from 46% at the same time last year. They were more than 90% full in the two years before that.

Why Giants Vanished After 1800 — The Mudflood Cover-up

 

 

Why do photographs of extraordinarily tall individuals—seven, eight, nine feet or more—appear routinely in the historical record until the mid-1800s, then suddenly vanish completely? Across continents, hundreds of images show giants not as curiosities but as normal members of society: working construction sites, standing with families, wearing the clothes of laborers and soldiers, photographed matter-of-factly as integrated members of daily life. 

As I examined archived photographs, census records, and architectural evidence, a repeating pattern emerged: beings of exceptional size operating within oversized Tartarian structures, then their complete disappearance coinciding precisely with the mudflood events of the late 1800s. These weren't genetic outliers or medical anomalies—they were guardians of advanced technology, removed as systematically as the civilization they protected. 

 This video investigates the giants who vanished after 1800—the photographic evidence, the architectural features built for their scale, the coordinated global erasure, and the operational knowledge that disappeared with them. The deeper we examine the record, the harder it becomes to believe their absence is natural rather than orchestrated removal of those who understood Tartarian systems.

Your Body Is a Temple

 The popular phrase “your body is a temple” shares a concept found in all the spiritual traditions throughout the world. As a metaphor, it signifies the body’s role as a vessel that houses our soul. Our physical body is the vehicle that carries our life force, and through it, we experience the world around us and interact with others.

Imagining our body as a temple can inspire us to be more mindful and loving in the ways that we treat ourselves. When we acknowledge that our spiritual self deserves a well-cared-for physical home, it motivates us to tend to our body’s needs, to give it respect, and to allow the body to express its true authenticity.

There are many ways we can treat our bodies with love: choosing nourishing, wholesome foods — we eat with consciousness and care; prioritizing our sleep and times of rest — we can recharge and feel ready to meet life’s challenges; moving and exercising our muscles, limbs, and cardiovascular system — we build strength and confidence; being attentive to our body’s aging and evolution — we give it the healing and care to support our soul’s radiance.

Spirituality and physicality are both needed. Like yin and yang, they are two sides of living a fulfilling life. To neglect one in favor of the other leaves us feeling off-balance. By caring for our physical health, we cultivate more inner peace and happiness. It is through this harmonious flow that we create genuine well-being.(Daily OM)

The Law of Attraction

 The law of attraction is surprisingly simple: Like attracts like. It becomes a bit more complicated when it comes to training our minds to think in ways that will bring what we desire into our lives. The term “self-fulfilling prophecy” describes the same law. This well-known term explains that we create the circumstances our mind dwells upon, whether positive or negative. So our goal is to practice consistent presence of mind to make sure our thoughts are always directed toward the positive and what we want to create.

A key to the process is the word “frequency.” This is true for two reasons: 1) The frequency you use when you passionately dwell upon or revisit a thought, dream, desire, or goal provides the energy your musings need for creation; and 2) just like a radio station broadcasts on a certain frequency, you must be “tuned in,” like the radio, to receive it. This means preparing for the arrival of your dream on every possible level — material, physical, and spiritual. You don’t have to know how it will come into your life. Just trust that it will. Your job is to lay the groundwork, follow any leads you can find, and prepare for its arrival. This can mean cleaning out your garage to make space for a new car, taking a tour of a model home to get the feel of it in order to feed your fantasies, or thinking of what you want in a mate and then living up to that list yourself.

Just like with any skill, the law of attraction must be practiced. We must decide what makes us feel abundant and use our imagination to create the feeling. It isn’t enough to just want something — you must use the power of your thoughts to attract it. A series of choices is what brings us everything in our lives right now, every moment. When we know the direction in which we want our choices to take us, it’s as if we’ve placed an order with the universe. We can then await its arrival with joyful anticipation. If we find ways to experience our dreams right now, we make creating joy a treasure hunt in which the seeking is just as much fun as the finding.(Daily OM)

Birmingham to Become England’s First 20mph City

 In plans updated last week, the Liberal Democrat, Green Party and independent-led council said it wanted all routes except A-roads to become 20mph zones.

The council said it wanted to ensure that cars “no longer dominate street life” by promoting walking and cycling as the best ways to travel. However, opponents have claimed the “anti-motorist policy” will make travelling around the city harder.

The move comes amid Andy Burnham’s push for devolution, which could give local authorities greater power to impose similar controversial policies on their areas.

Birmingham, once regarded as the motor capital of Britain because of its vast car production and trailblazing road designs, adopted a plan in 2021 to expand the rollout of 20mph zones.

The new council coalition has gone further and committed to lowering speed limits across the city.

In its plan, which was put out for public consultation last week, Birmingham City Council said: “A limit of 20mph will be standard on all local roads.....<<<Read More>>>...

The roots of fear: Understanding the amygdala

  The amygdala is central to emotion processing in the brain, and is known to contribute to fear and anxiety, 

For that reason, there has long been interest in whether variations in the size or structure of the amygdala are related to disorders such as anxiety and depression. However, it’s increasingly clear that the overall size and structure of the amygdala is not a good predictor of emotional problems in life, Fox said.

Recently, research in rodents has shown that each subregion of the amygdala contains many different cell types with distinct and sometimes opposing functions.

This suggests that disorders emerge from alterations in specific cell types with distinct roles.  However, it is challenging to identify such cell types in humans or other primates, leaving the cellular landscape of the primate amygdala largely unexplored....<<<Read More>>>...

WHO pandemic alerts no longer require proof of illness, document states

The WHO’s latest influenza assessment states that “evidence of illness is not required” for laboratory-confirmed cases of influenza A with pandemic potential to trigger mandatory international reporting.

The reporting gateway is based solely on “laboratory-confirmed” infection, a designation that relies on real-time RT-PCR testing.

WHO technical manuals acknowledge that PCR tests measure fluorescence, not the presence of a live virus, and that false-positive signals can arise from contamination, reagent cross-reactions and heat-induced chemical changes.

The new guidance lowers the evidentiary threshold for activating international pandemic response mechanisms that previously accompanied lockdowns, travel restrictions and vaccine mandates.

Health freedom advocates argue the policy shift centralizes decision-making power in laboratory data while removing observable clinical illness as a prerequisite for global action....<<Read More>>>...

Caring for Your Lymphatic System

 Your lymphatic system is a bit like an internal cleanup crew, working throughout the body to regulate fluid, support immunity, and carry cellular waste and other unwanted material away from the tissues. Most of the time, it performs this essential work without drawing attention to itself. But when lymphatic drainage is disrupted, excess fluid can accumulate, sometimes causing digestive discomfort, bloating and puffiness, or a general sense of dis-ease.

One of the simplest ways to support healthy lymphatic flow is through intentional movement, deep breathing, and good hydration. Nourishing acts of self-care like this encourage fluid and waste to travel through the natural lymphatic pathways — supporting your body’s ability to clear excess fluid and return to a more harmonious internal balance.

When your body feels more balanced on the inside, that sense of well-being can ripple into every part of your life. You may feel more energized, more comfortable in your own skin, and more able to meet the day with a sense of ease. Caring for your lymphatic system is a gentle way of reminding your body that it is supported — and that small, loving choices can help you feel healthier and happier. (Daily OM)

Primal Vision & ‘Active Seeing’

  It is almost impossible for modern man to understand how he can be ‘blind’. We see what is in front of our noses, and we could not see more even if we opened our eyes as far as they will go.

But there is another kind of blindness, which American philosopher and psychologist William James describes in his essay ‘On a Certain Blindness in Human Beings’. James recounts how he was being driven, in a buggy, through the mountains of North Carolina, and looking with revulsion at the newly-cultivated patches of land (called coves) and reflecting how ugly they were. He asked the driver what kind of people lived here, and the driver replied cheerfully: “We ain’t happy unless we’re getting one of these coves under cultivation.” And James suddenly woke up to the fact that these homesteaders regarded each cove as a personal victory, and saw it as beautiful.

We become blind to things by imposing our concepts on them and looking at them with a kind of indifference, which arises from our conviction that we know what they are already. James was quite sure that the coves were ugly, without seeing that the ugliness lay in his own eyes.

But even when we know this, it is still very difficult for us to grasp just how the ancient Egyptians – or our Cro-Magnon ancestors – somehow saw the world quite differently, and might consequently have developed their own ‘high levels of science’...<<<Read More>>>...

Turmeric’s Anti-Inflammatory Benefits: Four Methods of Use Supported by Research

Turmeric, a spice used in traditional Ayurvedic and Chinese medicine for more than 4,000 years, contains curcumin, a polyphenolic compound that research indicates may reduce inflammation. According to an article by Mercola.com, chronic inflammation is a hallmark of virtually all diseases, including cancer, obesity, and heart disease. A separate analysis of 21 clinical trials published in BMC Complementary Medicine and Therapies in July 2025 found that curcumin significantly lowered two inflammation markers: C-reactive protein (CRP) and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha), according to a report by NaturalHealth365 cited by NaturalNews.com. Four primary methods of using turmeric for its anti-inflammatory effects are supported by research: cooking, teas, smoothies, and supplements.

urcumin lowers inflammation by inhibiting pro-inflammatory signaling molecules such as interleukins, TNF-alpha, and cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2), according to studies. Lance D Johnson, writing for NaturalNews.com on April 14, 2025, stated that curcumin is a multifaceted polyphenol with neuroprotective and anti-inflammatory properties [3]. In vitro studies have shown that curcuminoids exert potent antioxidant effects and enhance cellular resistance to oxidative stress, according to Lise N Alschuler in "The Definitive Guide to Thriving After Cancer". The antioxidant activity of curcumin may protect against free radical damage that worsens inflammation, researchers reported.

Sumerian Texts Reveal What Existed on Earth Before the Anunnaki

 

 
 
Ancient Sumerian tablets are among the oldest written records ever discovered, preserving fragments of stories, myths, and beliefs from one of humanity’s earliest civilizations. Within these clay tablets appear references to powerful beings known as the Anunnaki, deities who were said to descend from the heavens and play a role in shaping the early world of humans. 
 
But some interpretations of these ancient texts suggest that the story may go even deeper. 
 
According to certain readings of Sumerian mythology, there are passages that hint at an age that may have existed before the arrival of the Anunnaki themselves. A time so distant and mysterious that only fragmented references remain — scattered across damaged tablets, incomplete translations, and symbolic language that scholars still debate today. 
 
Could these ancient records be describing a forgotten chapter of Earth’s past? 
 
In this video, we take a closer look at the enigmatic Sumerian tablets, exploring the stories, symbols, and interpretations that have led some researchers to propose the possibility of a world that existed long before the Anunnaki entered the narrative of human history. We examine how early Mesopotamian mythology describes cycles of creation, divine conflicts, and celestial beings connected to the origins of civilization. 
 
Through historical context, ancient texts, and visual reconstructions, the episode explores questions that continue to fascinate historians, archaeologists, and alternative history researchers alike: 
 
• Do the Sumerian records simply describe mythological cosmology? 
• Or could fragments of older traditions be hidden within the stories? 
• And why do some tablets appear to reference events or ages that seem to precede the well-known Anunnaki narratives? 
 
While mainstream scholarship views the Anunnaki as mythological gods within the religious worldview of ancient Mesopotamia, alternative interpretations have proposed more speculative ideas — from lost civilizations to misunderstood descriptions of powerful ancient rulers. 
 
This video does not claim definitive answers. Instead, it presents the mystery surrounding the earliest Sumerian traditions, allowing viewers to explore the evidence, interpretations, and unanswered questions that continue to surround these ancient texts. +++Some scenes in this video include AI-generated visual reconstructions created to help illustrate environments, cities, and mythological events described in ancient sources
 
Step back thousands of years into the cradle of civilization and explore a question that still echoes through the oldest written stories humanity has left behind: 
 
Was there a forgotten age before the Anunnaki? If you enjoy exploring ancient mysteries, lost civilizations, and the hidden meanings of the world's oldest texts, this episode will take you deep into the enigmatic world of early Mesopotamian mythology.

AI is Giving the Non-Professional Classes a Voice – and Institutions Are Feeling It

 There is a quiet revolution under way in how ordinary people communicate with schools, airlines and the NHS – and institutions are only beginning to feel its force, writes Joanna Gray.

“Usually such parents barrel into school, have an incoherent shout in the playground, swear at me and whoever is close, tell me their child is an angel and barrel out again. Now in the age of AI this has all changed. Such parents are now sending in AI generated emails of complaint and they are brilliant.” So explains the Head of School of a large London primary. He says that take-up of AI has accelerated in the past half term, giving voice to a section of parents previously unable to reasonably articulate their concerns. What this means positively for parents has varied ramifications for teachers. Best-case scenario, it should improve the classroom experience; worst-case scenario, it adds a massive extra workload for teachers with spurious but legally accurate demands.

The Head shares with me two examples from the summer term of this year. “A Year One student [six-years-old] wet herself. This is not unusual. This child arrived in reception still wearing nappies. It is not unusual for Key Stage One children to wet themselves. We have great teaching assistants who know what to do in these instances. She changed into her PE kit and at the end of the day the class teacher told the parent what had happened and gave her daughter’s wet clothes in a plastic bag. So far so routine. The following week I received a beautifully written email from the mother, copying in the Chair of Governors and the CEO of our Education Trust. The email insisted that she see the school’s CCTV footage around the time of the incident because the mum did not believe her daughter would have wet herself unprovoked. She also issued a subject access request whereby any time her daughter’s name had come up in school communications, she could read the paperwork. I had to spend a considerable time pulling up the CCTV and then anonymising all the other children featured, the same with the paperwork, manually retracting all other children’s names.

Growing Through Life’s Challenges

 

A tree that is beginning to grow sends roots down into Mother Earth even as it reaches and opens to the sky above, seeking nourishment from the sun and the moisture in the air and in the rain that falls. Similarly, we can envision ourselves as treelike beings, imagining that we have roots reaching down into the earth, energetic strands that keep us connected. At the same time, the crowns of our heads lift and open to receive nourishment from above. Just like a tree, we seek the sunshine and water we need to survive and thrive. Both trees and people serve as conduits for the intermingling of the opposite and complementary elements of air, water, sun, and earth.

We also share creative ways of growing, regardless of the challenges we come up against in our environments. Trees will even grow through rock, shattering it, in their effort to reach the air and light they need to survive; this process of pushing through resistance actually strengthens the tree's core. We are similarly resilient, with a built-in propensity for transformation. Our obstacles can be seen not as barriers but as opportunities for self-discovery. We move toward the light that feeds us and can emerge stronger.

Contemplating the ways in which trees and people mirror one another brings us into alignment with the reality that we are part of nature. Our children, and the trees and their children, will live together on the earth as long as we all survive, sharing the elements and serving together to forward nature’s plan. Walking in a forest can be a meditation, the interweaving lives of all living creatures and the planet on which we all take root and reach for the sky. (Daily OM)

Before the Archons. Before the Demiurge’s system was fully established. Before the soul trap was complete, there were the Watchers. 
 
According to the Book of Enoch, 200 mysterious beings descended to Earth and changed humanity forever. But were they really fallen angels driven by desire, or were they carrying out a much larger mission? In this video, we explore the hidden connection between the Watchers, the Nephilim, Gnostic texts, and the origins of the spiritual prison many believe humanity still lives within today.

Drawing from the Book of Enoch, the Apocalypse of Adam, the Apocryphon of John, the Reality of the Rulers, and other Gnostic traditions, this deep dive examines one of the most controversial and mysterious stories in ancient history.

The Inversion: How We Have Been Tricked into Perceiving a False Reality

 Let us begin with a story …

Human life is a story. And yet it is not one single story. It is an open book full of rich, amazing, powerful, and sometimes dangerous, stories. Humanity is quite literally living its own 1001 Nights yet across millennia. And just like that book of masterful storytelling, there have been incredible stories that filled the minds, and hearts, of many millions of people throughout the ages. 

We live upon and within a story each second of our lives. Some of these stories are greater than others – more epic, more powerful, and more influential. Others are daily stories that fill our pockets and arrange our hours. Yet over and above our stories there has always been a grand narrative. It is this grand, sweeping story that narrates, and influences, the general direction in which humanity moves.  

And this grand narrative is often so compelling, so full of persuasive detail, that we believe in it wholeheartedly. Like an amazing tale told to a child before bedtime, this tale then becomes woven into that night’s dream. Upon waking, the dream feels so real that it lingers far long into the day and until it is replenished once again before bedtime. And yet sometimes, within special circumstances, the dream is so captivating and convincing that it causes the dreamer never to awaken. The dreamer continues to dream the dream that they were told before sleeping.

Human history is like a dream within a dream – an inversion within an illusion. And as many dreamers know, there are levels within dreams. Like a Russian Matryoshka doll, there are nesting layers of stories that all combine to create an overarching narrative body or realm. And many people, like good dreamers, find themselves caught up within one of the layers. And it can be almost impossible to get out...<<<Read More>>>....

Russian Scientist Claims UFOs Are U.S. Spy Technology

 In recent years, global fascination with UFOs has reached new heights. But according to Pavel Poluian, a Russian physicist and philosopher with a background in geophysics, these sightings may have a more Earth-bound explanation.

In his letter to anomalien.com, Poluian claims that UFOs—or at least many of them—are advanced espionage devices developed by the United States during the Cold War, featuring plasma-driven propulsion systems that mimic the characteristics of otherworldly crafts.

Poluian, who has published multiple works debunking pseudoscientific theories, including “The Elimination of UFOs” and “The Hunt for UFOs,” explains that he believes these crafts were part of a secret U.S. military project, initiated shortly after WWII.

This project, he claims, aimed to develop aircraft using an unconventional propulsion system that generated lift via high-frequency vibrations.

Starting with early designs like James Pitts’ “Sky Car” orthotopter umbrella, this technology evolved into what is now associated with the iconic “flying saucers” of popular UFO lore....<<<Read More>>>...

Comcast Activates WiFi Motion Detection on MILLIONS of Routers, Raising Privacy Concerns

 On Aug. 18, Comcast activated a motion detection feature on millions of its newer home routers.

WiFi Motion is a free feature that turns newer Xfinity Gateways into motion sensors by detecting interruptions to the WiFi signal of the wireless network and sending a notification through the Xfinity app, according to TechCrunch .

Comcast unveiled the feature as part of Xfinity Shield, a home security platform built around the WiFi network, and it turns the leased gateway into a motion detector at no extra charge, according to a ZeroHedge report.

Comcast said WiFi Motion works "without recording video, capturing images, or identifying individuals," according to the report.

The company's terms state that Comcast "may disclose information generated by your WiFi Motion to third parties without further notice" in connection with law enforcement investigations, the report said. Comcast said a typical customer has roughly 36 devices connected to their WiFi. 

WiFi Motion works because a human body moving through a room disturbs the signal field between the gateway and stationary connected devices, such as a printer or a game console, according to Comcast's rollout materials. The feature is opt-in and, according to Comcast, does not track phones or reach through WiFi extenders.

Comcast's rollout materials stated that those limitations are choices made in software, not limitations of the technology itself.

The detection method relies on signals that have been part of WiFi networks for more than a decade....<<<<Read More>>>....
