Subject: Big Brother: We'll call you!
Shalom my friends,
Are you aware that Big Brother is able to eavesdrop on you by
simply calling you? It's called "phone trapping". The usual scenario
goes like this: the phone rings. You answer. Dead silence... You
hang up. The monitoring party disables the disconnect, which keeps
the microphone in your handset (and all the handsets in the house)
LIVE. Your phone is now what they call "hot on the hook". Using
high-gain amps, "they" are able to hear all that happens in your
house.
And it happened to me and my buddy tonight. I was visiting him
for our usual Thursday night fellowship. I explained the above technology
to him, and he replied "yeah, I've known about that for a few years."
Just then, the phone rang. We smiled at one another, and he said
"speak of the devil!"
My buddy went into the livingroom and answered the phone.
"Hello? Hello? Hello... Andrew pick up the phone!" When I did, I was
suprised to hear the sound of a somber piece of classical piano music
playing clearly. It was a bit eerie. So we hung up the phones, and
promtly unplugged them.
Why mess with small fry like Uncle Drewski? Because I've been
speaking the truth about Yeshua (Jesus), the government, the New World
Odor, FEMA, famine,emergency preparedness, mondex etc... to EVERYONE I
meet. How did they know I'd be at my buddy's place? He called earlier
and we discussed it. Do the math. This isn't paranoia, and it isn't
coincidence, AND I'M NOT SHAKEN.
It happened to another close friend of mine on Sunday morning.
IF ANYTHING SHOULD HAPPEN TO MYSELF OR MY WIFE, PROCLAIM THIS STORY
EVERYWHERE. HEY, DO IT ANYWAY!
If it happens to you, don't hang up immediately. Unplug ALL the
phones in the house, then wait a minute, and plug'em back in. They'll
call back. If they know you're on to them, they may just keep it up
to shake you. DON'T LET IT!!!
Remember...
Matthew 10:28
And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the
soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body
in hell.
Isaiah 51:12
I, even I, am he that comforteth you: who art thou, that thou
shouldest be afraid of a man that shall die, and of the son of man
which shall be made as grass;
Psalm 27:1-3
A Psalm of David.
The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the LORD
is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid? [2] When the
wicked, even mine enemies and my foes, came upon me to eat up my
flesh, they stumbled and fell. [3] Though an host should encamp
against me, my heart shall not fear: though war should rise against
me, in this will I be confident.
Psalm 91:1-3
He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide
under the shadow of the Almighty. [2] I will say of the LORD, He is
my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust. [3] Surely he
shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome
pestilence.
In Yeshua,
Andrew
