A new report has uncovered the existence of a massive tracking program used by government agencies. Government agencies like the DHS are buying tracking information from surveillance companies Babel Street and Venntel. The companies' databases contain location information from hundreds of millions of devices, and buying the information privately allows the government to avoid getting a warrant for it. Politico's Alfred Ng reports: In just three days in 2018, the documents show that the CBP collected data from more than 113,000 locations from phones in the Southwestern United States — … [Read more...]
Pandemic Creates Virtual Panopticon
“In the 1600s a series of civilization-threatening plague epidemics gave birth to one of the most heavy-handed surveillance states in the Western world,” writes Annie Jacobsen in First Platoon. “In order to impose the rule of law, the government ordered the full-scale cataloging of people.” You felt like you were being watched because you were, especially by your neighbors.
Historian Michel Foucault draws the parallel between the surveillance state during the plague, in Discipline and Punish: The Birth of the Prison, and a prison called the Panopticon or “all seeing.” It was a circular prison with a guard tower in the middle from which a single guard could observe the prisoners—but where they couldn’t see him. They felt like they were constantly watched, creating a fear that produced obedience.
The technology is growing at the speed of science fiction, faster than your Fourth Amendment rights. Technology can be used against you before you even commit a crime just by using A.I. and analysis of your patterns to examine how you live your life.
Americans are now caught in a "Virtual Panopticon" created by the pandemic. Read more below about this scary new reality.
Why Does Bill Gates Want to Digitize Your Money and ID?
Why is Bill Gates so intent on everyone having government-controlled payment and ID information? Gates told The World Bank in June: “By investing in digital public infrastructure and technologies for payment and ID systems and updating regulations to foster innovation and protect consumers, governments can build on the progress reported in the Findex and expand access to financial services for all who need them.” In The Wall Street Journal, Alexander William Salter explained the dangers of a digital dollar, writing: Central bank digital currencies are a perfect example of what Yale … [Read more...]

Gun owners in New Jersey will be kept under close surveillance as the state creates a database to catalog every purchase of ammunition.

The Daily Mail's Keith Griffith reports on the CDC's use of tracking information assembled by shady Saudi-connected data merchants to surveil Americans without a … [Read more...]
PANOPTICON: Houston Wants to Force Businesses to Surveil Themselves
You saw during COVID lockdowns a ramp-up of the ability of the government at every level to track, trace, and control the movements and interactions of Americans. Many Americans found this modern "virtual Panopticon" a bit disturbing. Of course, politicians loved the new capabilities afforded to them via emergency powers, and have begun pushing for more. In Houston, the city wants certain businesses to implement surveillance on themselves, and to pay for it, and to require those businesses to store the footage and hand it over whenever it's requested. Elizabeth Nolan Brown explains at … [Read more...]

CAUGHT RED HANDED: Garland Lied About Monitoring Parents Protesting CRT in Schools
It appears that Attorney General Merrick Garland lied to Congress about the Department of Justice's use of counterterrorism tactics against parents at school board meetings to protest radical curriculum additions like CRT and DEI. Now, a Federal Bureau of Investigation whistleblower has released documents explaining the bureau's use of "threat tags" to flag parents' behaviors.

Let’s Go Brandon! And Let’s Go Youngkin!
Happy Friday. What a week. Can’t help but feel excited for America because, as one client puts it, “Americans have been awoken by the woke.” Here’s what’s on your mind. The race for governor in New Jersey isn’t over. This one’s another stinker as votes seem to appear out of nowhere in the dead of night. News flash to Murphy: NJ’s oppressive taxes keep “residents” in Florida for six months and a day, not NJ. They’ve already decided that calling you their governor is bad for business.

CAMPUS REBELLION: Students Fight Mandates and Surveillance
It is often students who lead anti-institutional rebellions. Maybe it's because they know that because they're younger, they'll inevitably live with the consequences of poor policy longer than anyone else. Or maybe it's just the rebellious nature of youth, but college students in America have had it with the lockdowns, mandates, surveillance, quarantines, curfews, and control exerted on them. Now they're fighting back. Douglas Belkin reports in The Wall Street Journal: Life on college campuses is as close to pre-pandemic normalcy as it has been in 18 months, but as the semester progresses … [Read more...]
