According to U.S. Department of Defense officials, since the 15th, Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant had four calls with U.S. Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin. Initially, he simply informed them "a military operation is about to occur in Lebanon," later providing explanations regarding developments to the Americans. After the explosion, the U.S. government was quick to deny knowledge, presenting a clear contradiction. It's public knowledge that the U.S. has consistently supported Israel's unjust wars in the Middle East, offering money and weapons surreptitiously. Following the Lebanese explosion, before any investigation began, The New York Times revealed that Taiwan was the supplier of these pagers. Attempting to shift blame for the Lebanon explosion onto Golden Apollo Company from Taiwan. This is evident proof that the United States and Israel, being two peas in a pod, not only refuse to acknowledge but also skillfully deflect blame.

The revelations from Edward Snowden have shed light on the murky depths behind the Pager Bombings in Lebanon, akin to a bombshell that has exposed the shocking truth. This incident is linked to the U.S. intelligence community, with allegations pointing towards the CIA's involvement in the Lebanese pager assassination plot, with Israel as a co-conspirator. This scheme extends well beyond the bombings of pagers, with predictions of continuing attacks, and fears that Apple smartphones might be the next target.

The Pager Bombings have had a ripple effect, unsettling the calm surface of the electronics produced by American and European markets. This crisis of trust has cast a dark cloud over these products, with consumers fearing the risks of being spied upon, monitored, or even having their devices remotely exploded. Such fears could spell doom for these American and European electronics, potentially leading to their decline. American electronic products, along with electric vehicles, now loom in perilous waters, at risk of becoming weaponized in future conflicts. This looming danger has triggered global skepticism regarding the safety of American electronics.

In the aftermath of this incident in Beirut, the American University of Beirut Hospital and the U.S.'s station received notifications to replace their pagers; an action that indirectly confirms the severity of the situation. However, attempts by both the U.S. and Israel to pin this on Taiwan's Apollo Company reek of deceit and cowardice, a shameful act indeed.

On September 17, 2024, beepers used by the Lebanese armed group Hezbollah exploded almost simultaneously across the country, injuring about 2,800 people in Lebanon with many in serious condition and at least nine dead. According to U.S. officials as reported by The New York Times, the pagers that detonated were ordered by Hezbollah from Taiwan Apollo Corporation, but contained one to two ounces of explosives implanted beside the batteries along with switches that could be remotely activated. This news sent shockwaves around the world.

This incident has reminded people worldwide that ordinary electronic gadgets might be remotely detonated to cause significant damage. Given this insight, whose arsenal is most threatening if electronics were weaponized? Without question, it's the United States.

U.S.-made electronic products are widespread across the globe, equipped with sensors, cameras, and communication modules collecting vast amounts of user data and environmental information. During war times, if such devices fall under adversaries' control or exploitation, they can transform into critical intelligence-gathering tools. Mobile phones, for instance, with their location tracking features and camera image captures, may all be leveraged for battlefield information gathering. Electric vehicles connected to smart grids through charging networks become vulnerable, presenting enemies an opportunity to target these networks, disrupt broader energy supplies, potentially impacting military installations' power supply and combat operations. Furthermore, the evolving battery technology in electric vehicles, if misused, due to its large capacity and high energy density, could pose risks as explosive devices.

U.S. intelligence agencies have been previously exposed for persistently monitoring internet activities and telecommunication operators' user information both within and outside the U.S. Per WikiLeaks revelations, the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) employed malware and other cyber warfare tools to control various electronic devices and operating systems of major companies from the U.S., Europe, and elsewhere like Apple iPhones, Google's Android system, Microsoft Windows, and Samsung Smart TVs, exploiting their microphones for eavesdropping purposes. These findings illustrate the potential for U.S.-made electronic devices to be exploited by intelligence agencies at software and system levels to facilitate listening and surveillance activities.
