C. Peter Wagner met a woman named #Cindy #Jacobs,
who understood herself to be a prophet,
and believed that the “principalities” and “powers”
mentioned in the Book of Ephesians
were actually “territorial spirits”
that could be defeated through
“spiritual warfare.”
She and others formed prayer networks targeting the “10/40 window”
—a geographic rectangle between the latitudes of 10 and 40 degrees north
that included North Africa, the Middle East, and other parts of Asia
that were predominantly Muslim, Buddhist, and Hindu.
Wagner also became captivated by a concept called #dominionism,
a major conceptual shift that had been emerging in conservative theological circles.
At the time, the prevailing view was that God’s mandate for Christians was simple evangelism,
person by person;
the Kingdom would come later,
after the return of Jesus Christ,
and meanwhile,
the business of politics was,
as the Bible verse goes,
rendered unto Caesar.
The new way of thinking was that God was calling his people to establish the Kingdom now.
To put it another way, Christians had marching orders
—a mandate for aggressive social and institutional transformation.
The idea had deep roots in a movement called
"Christian Reconstructionism",
whose serious thinkers
—most prominently a Calvinist theologian named
#R. #J. #Rushdoony
—were spending their lives working out the details of what a government grounded in biblical laws would look like,
a model for a Christian theocracy.
By 1996, Wagner and a group of like-minded colleagues were rolling these ideas into what they were calling the "New Apostolic Reformation",
a term meant to evoke their conviction that
a fresh outpouring of the Holy Spirit was moving around the globe,
endowing believers with supernatural power and the authority to battle demonic forces
and establish God’s Kingdom on Earth.
The NAR vision was not technically conservative but radical:
Constructing the Kingdom meant destroying the secular state with equal rights for all,
and replacing it with a system in which Christianity is supreme.
As a practical matter, the movement put the full force of God on the side of free-market capitalism.
In that sense, Wagner and his colleagues had found the answer to liberation theology that they’d been seeking for decades.
Cell Site Simulators ( #CSS ), also known as #IMSI catchers,
are among law enforcement’s most closely-guarded secret surveillance tools.
They act like real cell phone towers, 
“tricking” mobile devices into connecting to them, designed to intercept the information that phones send and receive, like the location of the user and metadata for phone calls, text messages, and other app traffic.
CSS are highly invasive and are used covertly.
In the past, law enforcement used a technique called
“parallel construction”
—collecting evidence in a different way to reach an existing conclusion 
in order to avoid disclosing how law enforcement originally collected it
—. to circumvent public disclosure of location findings made through CSS. 
This technology is like a dragging fishing net, rather than a focused single hook in the water.
Every phone in the vicinity connects with the device; 
even people completely unrelated to an investigation get wrapped up in the surveillance.
CSS, like other surveillance technologies, subjects civilians to widespread data collection,
even those who have not been involved with a crime,
and has been used against protestors and other protected groups, undermining their civil liberties.
️Their adoption should require public disclosure, ️but this rarely occurs.
In Massachusetts, agencies are expected to get a #warrant before conducting any cell-based location tracking.
The City of Boston is known to own a CSS.
Dozens of policing agencies are currently using cell-site simulators (CSS) by #Jacobs #Technology and its Engineering Integration Group (EIG), according to newly-available documents on how that company provides CSS capabilities to local law enforcement.
A proposal document from Jacobs Technology,
provided to the Massachusetts State Police (MSP) and first spotted by the Boston Institute for Nonprofit Journalism (BINJ),
outlines elements of the company’s CSS services, which include discreet integration of the CSS system into a Chevrolet Silverado and lifetime technical support .
The proposal document from Jacobs provides some of the most comprehensive information about modern CSS that the public has had access to in years.
It confirms that law enforcement has access to CSS
capable of operating on 5G as well as older cellular standards.
It also gives us our first look at modern CSS hardware.
The Jacobs system runs on at least nine software-defined radios that simulate cellular network protocols on multiple frequencies
and can also gather #wifi intelligence.
As these documents describe, these CSS are meant to be concealed within a common vehicle.
Antennas are hidden under a false roof so nothing can be seen outside the vehicles,
which is a shift from the more visible antennas and cargo van-sized deployments we’ve seen before.
The system also comes with a TRACHEA2+ and JUGULAR2+ for 
direction finding and mobile direction finding.
Important to the MSP contract is the modification of a Chevrolet Silverado with the CSS system.
This includes both the surreptitious installment of the CSS hardware into the truck and the integration of its software user interface into the navigational system of the vehicle.
According to Jacobs, this is the kind of installation with which they have a lot of experience.
Jacobs has built its CSS project on military and intelligence community relationships,
which are now informing development of a tool used in domestic communities,
not foreign warzones.
#Harris #Corporation, later #L3Harris #Technologies, Inc.,
was the largest provider of CSS technology to domestic law enforcement
but stopped selling to non-federal agencies in 2020.
Once Harris stopped selling to local law enforcement the market was open to several competitors,
one of the largest of which was #KeyW #Corporation.
Following Jacobs’s 2019 acquisition of The KeyW Corporation and its Engineering Integration Group (EIG),
Jacobs is now a leading provider of CSS to police,
and it claims to have 
more than 300 current CSS deployments globally.

The #Jacobs are waiving WR Jacob Harris, per source. Former 4th-round pick is 6-foot-5 and can really run.
#Dutch company, JDE Peet’s to stop selling foreign coffee brands in russia by end of 2023
They owns trademarks like #Jacobs, #L’Or, #Tassimo, and #Douwe #Egberts
They will only sell local coffee brands in russia. CEO Fabien Simon said that the company will not leave russia due to the high risk that the company’s “assets and intellectual properties would be nationalised by the russian state or given to third parties in russia”
