When police suspected Danny Kyllo, an Oregon man, of growing cannabis in his home they drove to his house with a thermal imaging device to scan it. They found hot pockets in the house, which were used to obtain a search warrant and subsequently bust Kyllo.

Fortunately, a 5-4 Supreme Court decision ruled the scan an unlawful search under the Fourth Amendment, requiring a warrant the police did not obtain. Score one for privacy, but the government is about to have a far more controversial and dangerous tool at its disposal to monitor what’s going on inside your home.

Unlike a thermal imager, this device is already in your home – and you put it there.

How It Works

WiFi is electromagnetic waves in the 2.4 and 5 GHz ranges. It’s the same thing as the light you see, only it can penetrate walls due to its much longer wavelength. Just like light (and echolocation) these waves also reflect off various surfaces and, when reconstructed properly, can be used to create an image.

Development of this technology goes back at least as far as July 2005, where researchers claimed at an IEEE Symposium that they had created an ultra-wideband high-resolution short pulse imaging radar system operating around 10 GHz. The applications for which were explicitly for military and police use, providing them with “enhanced situation awareness.”

A few years later, in 2008, researchers at UC Santa Barbara created an initial approach for imaging with WiFi that they presented at IEEE ACC 2009. A year later they demonstrated the feasibility of this approach.

The Race is On

Sensing the potential of this new surveillance technology, other researchers began piling on. Progress was initially slow but, in 2017, two researchers in Germany demonstrated the ability to do WiFi imaging using techniques borrowed from the field of holography. According to Philipp Holl, an undergrad student and lead study author who worked with Friedemann Reinhard of the Technical University of Munich to develop the new method, “The past two years have seen an explosion of methods for passive Wi-Fi imaging.”

At the time, the technology could only make out rough shapes of things. “If there’s a cup of coffee on a table, you may see something is there, but you couldn’t see the shape,” Holl says, “but you could make out the shape of a person, or a dog on a couch. Really any object that’s more than 4 centimeters in size.”

The Controversy Begins

In 2018 the team at UC Santa Barbara published a paper titled “Et Tu Alexa?” examining the potential threats of this emerging technology. They examined the problem of adversarial WiFi sensing and the risk to privacy resulting from the widespread deployment of wireless devices, which could be used to track your precise physical location, movement, and other physiological properties.

Fortunately, they also propose some countermeasures for defending against such attacks to reduce the quantity and quality of the WiFi signals captured by the attacker, such as Geo-fencing and rate-limiting. These methods are not as effective with IoT devices, though, due to the frequency with which they make transmissions.

The Breakthrough

Up until this point it was necessary to use frequencies higher than commercial WiFi (2.4 and 5 GHz) to achieve decent imaging resolutions. That all changed in February 2019 when a team from Michigan State University published a paper in IEEE Access outlining how they were able to use signals at 5.5 GHz, which matches the 802.11n/ac WiFi protocol, to create a 2-D image of two reflecting spheres and a reflecting X-shaped target, concluding “full 2-D imagery is possible by capturing the WiFi signals present in typical environments.”

Adding AI and Going 3-D

At MobiCom 2020, researchers from the University of Buffalo, presented their WiPose technology, touted as “the first 3-D human pose construction framework using commercial WiFi devices.” This system uses the 2-D imaging technology previously discussed to construct a 3-D avatar of the humans captured by it. The system uses a deep learning model that encodes the prior knowledge of human skeletons in the construction process of the 3-D model.

In 2019, former DARPA contractor Ray Liu launched his first commercial product in the WiFi sensing domain. Pitched as a way of “Making the world safer, healthier, and smarter,” the original military and law enforcement usages mentioned when this technology was born in 2005 were cast aside. The company claims the technology is so accurate that it can sense your breathing using nothing but standard WiFi signals.

In a 2021 company blog, Liu discusses the development of IEEE 802.11bf, a new WiFi protocol, which is aimed at standardizing WiFi imaging across all devices – thus making it easier for companies such as his to exploit compatible wireless networks. Liu was elected to serve as IEEE President for 2022, and the new standard continues to be developed to this day.

Further refinements to the imaging technology itself have been made. In late 2021 another paper was submitted to IEEE outlining how the researchers were able to achieve high-resolution imaging results with commercial WiFi signals using beamforming on the 802.11n/ac protocol.

Ready for Production

The perfect WiFi imaging system may have just been introduced to the world in December 2022, when researchers from Carnegie Mellon University married the latest in WiFi sensing technology to a human form estimation engine known as DensePose.

DensePose is a technology developed by Meta/Facebook, beginning in 2018. It’s very similar to the WiPose system we previously discussed and aims at “mapping all human pixels of an RGB image to the 3D surface of a human body.” The researchers modified DensePose so that, rather than taking an RGB image, it would be compatible with the imagery being produced by state-of-the-art WiFi sensing technologies. The resulting system “can detect the pose of humans in a room based solely on the WiFi signals passing through the environment.”

Big Brother’s New Eyes

It’s telling how the pitch for this technology has pivoted from military and police use to keeping people safe in their own homes. The true purpose of this is obviously for law enforcement, the military, and intelligence agencies. We already live with mass digital surveillance and if you don’t believe that this won’t get incorporated into their plans to monitor everything you do, then you haven’t been paying attention.

Apart from putting CCTV cameras in everyone’s living spaces, this technology offers a comprehensive and supremely surreptitious way of putting eyes in every room of your house and place of work. Indeed, this just may become the norm. With nearly a third of Gen Z favoring the installation of government surveillance cameras in your home, this less-intrusive method may just find even broader support from the brainwashed masses. It will be possible to know where you are in the house and exactly what you’re doing, from sitting on the toilet to making love.

We’ve seen how easily intelligence agencies can get secret warrants to surveil anyone of particular interest. We’ve also seen just how easy it is for someone to become a target for surveillance. You very well might, one day, find your WiFi router and access points feeding imagery to an alphabet agency that didn’t like your social media posts, while armed thugs wait for the perfect moment to execute their next no-knock raid.

A King is a fraudster who, through instilling a false sense of authority in his followers, manages to extract a significant portion of their wealth for himself. In this sense Emory Andrew Tate III, and his brother Tristan, are no different. And like a King, this family line has more than one skeleton in its closet.

A Perfect Murder Weapon

In 1975, dubbed “The Year of Intelligence”, the Church Committee made a terrifying discovery. It wasn’t the shady and unlawful acts of Operation MKULTRA, nor the coordinated disinformation campaigns of COINTEPRO and Operation Mockingbird. Neither was it the Family Jewels report of countless murders of foreign politicians or Project SHAMROCK, arguably one of the first mass-surveillance programs involving private telecommunications companies across the United States. What was found was a weapon the CIA had devised for committing the perfect murder, a weapon that would leave practically no trace it was used on the victim.

Later described in a 1998 documentary by former CIA employee Mary Embree, her research into poisons culminated in the creation of a special firearm that Senator Church held in his very hands and questioned then CIA Director William Colby about its function.

As described, the gun would silently fire a small dart of frozen poison. The projectile would enter the victim, leaving only a small bruise at the site of entry, and the poison would go on to trigger what looked like a catastrophic heart attack in the victim.

It is unknown how many times, and on whom, this weapon has been used.

Death of Tate Jr.

The person most people know as “Andrew Tate” is actually the third in a line of firstborn sons to carry this name. While Tate III’s career has been the subject of much discussion in the media, little attention has been paid to his father, Emory Andrew Tate Jr.

Born in Chicago on December 27, 1958, his father (Emory Andrew Tate Sr.) was an attorney, and his mother ran a truck-leasing business. He learned chess at a young age and grew up to be a ferocious adversary at the game. Tate Jr. joined the Air Force and rose to the rank of staff sergeant, where he “excelled as a linguist” and was hailed by his chess-playing peers as having “unmatched perspicacity,” earning him the nickname “Extraterrestrial.”

He married Englishwoman Eileen Ashleigh in 1985 and his son, Emory Andrew Tate III, was born shortly thereafter.

As his career in the Air Force waned, he continued rising as a competitive chess player, eventually earning him the title of an International Chess Master. He won the US Armed Forces Chess Championship five times.

According to Tate III, at some point in his career, Tate Jr. was recruited into the CIA. His ability to rapidly learn new languages was seen as potentially useful to the CIA, and he learned Russian in record-breaking time. Beyond this nothing is known, as Tate III is the only source of this information, and no media outlet has ever covered Tate Jr’s possible CIA connections.

Looking for more, this author served FOIA requests on both the CIA and USAF for records pertaining to Tate Jr. The CIA responded, predictably saying they could neither confirm nor deny that he ever worked for the agency. The USAF’s response, however, raises some alarms – they could not locate any records for him at all. Were these expunged after being recruited into the CIA, or is this simply a case of bureaucratic laziness?

The weirdness does not end here.

At a chess competition in Milpitas, CA, on October 17, 2015, Tate Jr. suddenly drops dead of a heart attack shortly after returning from the bathroom to his match. While such events are now commonplace, in 2015 it ought to raise some questions. This was not a man anyone expected to die in moments from a catastrophic heart attack, especially since Tate Jr’s opponent stated he did not sense anything was wrong with Tate Jr. until he returned from the bathroom.

The autopsy report raises even more questions surrounding Tate Jr’s death. The Santa Clara County medical examiner, Joseph P. O’Hara, remarks on some unusual scarring that covers his extremities.

How these scars got there is yet another topic that has never been discussed by anyone. Are these evidence of torture, self-harm, or something else? There’s no way to know for sure, and Tate III has not been forthcoming about answering questions about his father (more on that later).

Further down the report, though, is a bombshell.

Remember the CIA’s heart attack gun and imagine a man coming up behind someone standing at a urinal, drawing the gun, and firing it. Assuming a right-handed assailant, where would the projectile hit? Exactly where you would expect, we find precisely the wound that former CIA employee Mary Embree said this weapon would leave.

Tate Jr’s other injuries are consistent with someone falling and hitting their face on a table, floor, or both on the way down. No other injuries were present on his corpse, so what happened here, and why? Was the CIA concerned Tate Jr may be revealing (or about to reveal) things he wasn’t supposed to?

While this is circumstantial, what is not is Tate Jr’s estate. It is apparent that he had means far beyond what a simple airman and chess player has, with one news report revealing the true extent of his wealth.

They [Tate III and Tristan] would have inherited from their father a hotel in Thailand, through which they would have amassed a significant fortune, which would amount to millions of euros.

What was Tate Jr’s interest in Thailand, and why would he buy a hotel there? With what money? Nothing about this man’s official story lines up with the facts and evidence that have been presented here and by various other outlets. According to Tate III, his father led a peripatetic lifestyle, eschewing material possessions – so what was he doing buying hotels in Thailand, and when?

Grifting in Romania

By the time of his father’s death, Tate III had exited his kickboxing career and, shortly afterwards, he appeared on the UK’s Big Brother reality show. He was quickly removed after video surfaced of him “hitting a woman with a belt.”

It’s at this point that Tate III’s career as a foil for the anti-male, radical feminist movement appears to begin, and is probably no coincidence this started within months of his father’s demise. His appearance on Big Brother was the seed being planted in the public mind, which grows with him (and others working behind the scenes) creating the appearances of him being a pillar of virtue in the male community.

I’m a person of integrity who doesn’t need money. I will not let a single person who believes in me lose money because of my words. I refuse to sell any bullshit. I will not sell my soul. That’s it. If you believe in Tate, your life’s gonna get better.

Gaining your victim’s trust is step one of a con game, and Tate III has taken his game to unprecedented heights. Constant negative media coverage creates the pathos needed in the growing population of disaffected men. With the help of his younger brother Tristan, the pair recruited dozens of young women to work for them out of a studio in Romania. They’re on record as having chosen to operate out of Romania because they knew the laws around what they planned to do there were lax.

With his team in place, they proceeded to defraud hundreds of men out of millions of dollars selling fake ‘sob’ stories to men desperate for female attention. The women would feign interest in the victims, even making plans to meet, which they never had any intention of honoring, often collaborating with and impersonating each other so they could maintain a 24/7 online presence. Both Tate III and Tristan have proudly declared, multiple times, that their business is a scam. Tate III’s only regret appears to be his inability to create the kind of revenue that a former ex-Disney star could in a single day on OnlyFans.

Despite these arrogant and audacious confessions, men continue to flock to Tate III, utterly hypnotized by his charisma. He has all the hallmarks of a career psychopath or, at the very least, a high functioning sociopath.

Hours after what appears to have been a staged online spat with climate catastrophist Greta Thunberg, Romanian police raided Tate III’s company headquarters, arresting him and Tristan. The charges, involving human trafficking, are almost certainly designed to fail once tested in court. As previously stated, Tate III thrives on the Stockholm-syndrome-like empathy of his victims. None of the girls working for his scam operation were being sexually trafficked, and they all came out in support of their gravy train. Many of them were earning tens of thousands of dollars each month lying to hundreds of men online, and they certainly don’t want that income to stop. Rumors of Tate III’s failing health while in custody began circulating and it seems like he will emerge from this ordeal with the Tate brand stronger than ever.

Being an international incident, this author served the US State Department with a FOIA request on all their communications with the Romanian authorities, and other documents pertaining to the Tate affair. The Department has effectively refused to comply with that request, stating they would need until March 2025 to complete their search for records.

It is clear there are things about the Tate’s the US government is protecting. The why is almost certainly going to be more interesting than the what.

Lingering Questions

As with my other reports there are always unanswered questions, blind spots, gray areas, and other holes that must be filled in before a complete picture emerges. What is certain, however, is that nobody truly knows what Emory Andrew Tate III is all about. The same goes for his father, and just how much does Tate III know about it?

This author approached Tate III multiple times with these questions. All requests were met with silence.

@Cobratate DM me, we need to talk about the circumstances of your father’s death. pic.twitter.com/dkpYobXpfH

Why are you avoiding speaking to me about the strange circumstances of your father’s death, the hotel in Thailand he left you, and your arrest in Romania for human trafficking?

— Mr.E (@MisterEReports) December 2, 2022

When chatting with ‘Seagal from Cobratate’, he insisted I buy a $4,500 membership to join the “War Room” so I could ask these questions, confirming Tate III does not do legitimate interviews about real issues that personally impact him.

There is also the question of whether Tate III had some involvement in his father’s death. The deep state typically requires new entrants to do something depraved, horrifying, and illegal, so they can ensure their silence should they ever decide to leave their service. Kanye West once referred to this as a “sacrifice,” necessary to join the upper echelons of this dangerous cult.

So, I ask you, dear reader, given the evidence how probable is it that Tate III “sacrificed” his father to enter the deep state and take his role as King of the Simps?
