At least nine people were killed and nearly 3,000 wounded when pagers used by Hezbollah members detonated simultaneously across Lebanon. Some experts have speculated that the explosions could have been caused by the devices’ batteries detonating, possibly through overheating. Others speculated that the pagers could have been intercepted before reaching Hezbollah and either been tampered with electronically or implanted with an explosive device. Lebanon’s prime minister and Hezbollah have blamed Israel for the explosions. Israeli officials have not commented on the allegations. Tony Loughran, director of risk consultancy ZeroRisk International, gives his analysis on CNA’s Asia Now.
Eventually all of us will want to get to the bottom of this, because, many of us have been talking about how EXPLOSIVE Electric vehicles are(EV) with that said, I can buy into the narrative being presented by Tony Loughran, which is that Israeli intelligence intercepted the manufacturing process of the pagers.
Being that many of us have been warning against ESG, Electric vehicles, and the electrification of the entire world, which by the way, ISRAEL is one of the global leaders in terms of innovation, you get a better idea as to why Israeli intelligence, would have been able to IMAGINE pulling this off years in advance.

Staff WriterAt least nine people were killed and nearly 3,000 people wounded across Lebanon on Tuesday afternoon when hundreds of pagers used by Hezbollah and others almost simultaneously exploded.
Hezbollah has blamed Israel, where officials and the military have made no comment.
Many modern pagers use lithium-ion batteries — similar to the ones found in smartphones — which are capable of exploding.
However, battery experts say that it’s very unlikely the pagers could have been triggered to explode with only a wireless signal — and that the descriptions and video of the attack is inconsistent with battery explosions.

Now, if many people remember, I believe it was the s7 Samsung smartphone that had problems when it released their smartphones, becoming very hot and catching fire. When someone hacks your software, they’re merely sending a lot of HEAT to your LITHIUM-powered device.
In general, one could argue that this excess heat wouldn’t be guaranteed to EXPLODE, the way the pagers exploded, however, LARGE Lithium powered vehicles could definitely create a lot of problems during a WAR.
Putting out an EV fire could take days, and even though entities are trying to find ways to change this, the bottom line is that this “solution” to putting out EV fires will also have to go through what could be an EXPENSIVE, SCARCE manufacturing process.
There also might be a patent for this invention so intellectual property rights would have to be respected and even if it weren’t you’d have to imagine that developed nations would want to prevent nations not friendly to her from having unlimited access to it.
What I’m getting at here is that the Israeli military just opened up Pandora’s box in regards to Electric vehicles or even running your HOME on lithium batteries because if only a TINY amount of an explosive element can be added to a pager with a TINY battery can cause so much damage, imagine what it could do to a large Tesla EV, that has a lot of HACKABLE SOFTWARE along with a giant lithium battery.
Pagers are still using analog technology from what I understand, with that said, people are going to have a lot of questions. This is another reason why I personally hate Environmental, social, and governance (ESG) because this is what REGULATIONS on innovation do; a large chunk of the lithium marketplace, for the most part, exists because of ESG; you have to remember yes, there’s a market for lithium batteries, but it’s unclear how large that market would be without ESG, and carbon taxes, which for the most part are the ONLY reason Electric Vehicles are small niche geared towards millions.
I remind you that Tesla, for example, is only profitable on WALL STREET; it’s bankrupt on mainstream even with all the government ESG subsidies. With this move by the Israeli military, those of you thinking outside of the box would be wise to look at how much destruction ESG is creating in the world.
