Fair enough. In my opinion, WaPo presents the CIA perspective, which has advantages and disadvantages. When I tried to search for the actual conspiracy theory, most of what I found were tweets and videos, which are poor documentation for considered conversation. So I used the piece by Republic Broadcasting Network as a counterpoint to the WaPo messaging. I doubt the Republic Broadcasting Network is at all trustworthy.
My biggest concern is the expansion of phone-based systems of control. This featured heavily into the pandemic response in many places. Now the powers that be may have a taste for increasing phone-based control of populations.
