Beacon O' Truth

Guys - I have a way that we can collectively and passively redpill the masses. It's called "beaconing".

Advertisers and retailers have been using this technology for years to market products and attract customers. I’ve actually been implementing it in a company I work for.

The basics are very simple. All Android phones made in the past few years have a feature called “Nearby” which, when Bluetooth and Location (GPS) are enabled, scan your surroundings for bluetooth beacons. These beacons are typically running a protocol called “Eddystone-URL” which allows for a 40 character message and a URL to be sent to any phone in range that has Bluetooth and GPS turned on. (Note: This does NOT work with Iphones)

Here’s the great thing: You can turn any Android phone into a beacon – for free. There’s an app in the play store called “Beacon Toy” (I don’t know if there’s an Iphone equivalent). Install it on your phone, turn on your Bluetooth, and create a “Eddystone-URL” beacon. Whatever you name the beacon will be the message it transmits (remember, 40 character limit). Also: Whatever link you choose to use it MUST be httpS url or it will not work. There is a built in url shortener & verifier that will test your link. You can even set up multiple beacons to broadcast a variety of things.

Arbitrary Examples:

Beacon name: “White genocide in SA”
Link to news article

Beacon Name: “Blacks commit majority of murders”
Link to FBI stats

Beacon Name: “You’re being manipulated”
Link to Sinclair Youtube collage

Be creative. Imagine being in a college classroom, a train station, an airport, a mall… just going about your day while dropping truth bombs on everyone around you, shattering the narrative and their social media safety bubbles. If you’re tech savvy enough you can tie your links to Google analytics and see how many people are actually reading them.

If you REALLY wanna go nuts you can buy a long range standalone beacon. For example: kontakt.io has a “tough beacon” you can buy for $20. It’s weatherproof and has a 70 meter (~230 feet) range. These can generally be programmed from an app on your phone. You could set it with a generic message & link that you control on the backend – IE it’s just a re-direct link whose target you can change on the fly. Set one of these up and hide it in a planter at the park, under the seat of a subway car, or just keep it in your glove compartment as you drive around. The battery lasts for 2 years and they can’t be turned off, not that a layperson would know what the fuck they are if they were found anyways.

I’m pondering ideas on how we could collectively pool results, which I don’t think would be very difficult, but I’m NOT a web developer. I’ve also set up a Twitter account on this premise (@beaconsoftruth) but I haven’t decided what, if anything, to do with it yet. I don’t have a tripcode or anything so I’d probably just use it for ID confirmation purposes.

Thoughts/opinions/suggestions? Let’s discuss.

2/3

Addendum: JIDF/Shareblue will attempt to commandeer these threads and accuse me of being an app shill or other such bullshit. Truth is there are a number of play store apps that can accomplish this, I just picked the most common one for brevity sake. Use whatever the fuck you want.

Addendum 2: “How do clients see the beacon messages?”

It's a passive notification that shows up on the "pull down" menu of an android phone, much like what would happen if an open WiFi network was available. It does NOT vibrate/ring the phone.

Addendum 3: JIDF/Shareblue has upped the ante on these threads, accusing any suggested app of being Trojans/keyloggers/virus’s/etc. This is a lie.

Addendum 4: JIDF/Shareblue has a new tactic. They claim these threads are FBI honeypots for violating FCC rules. This is patently false. Bluetooth is (obviously) an approved FCC technology as it’s been around for 20+ fucking years. Ignore this bullshit.
