I'm glad you approve of my post.
I was a little afraid that people might think that I was trying to make trouble.
Believe me, I would love to live in a world where we would not have to worry about things like that... but I do believe that this is a serious issue and something that people can't (or don't want to) wrap their minds around because it's just too scary.
I think it's because people figure that because there's so many millions of people on the Internet that they are just a little ant in a big jungle and no one would care about their lives.
But that's really not the point.
The point really is not that the government is going to get you if you are just a fat lazy American watching TV all day and rooting for your favorite team and couldn't care less about anything.
The problem lies in the fact that if someone so desires to protest the government and become an activist that they will have the power to find you.
Facebook is likely sitting atop the world's largest database of biometric information and new reports show that they have now deployed Facial Recognition Software against their billions of users.
And this ain't no paranoid shit either.
Facebook “pilot-tested” their Facial Recognition Software against people protesting the oppressive US-backed regime of Bahrain when it was used to hunt down dissidents thus consigning them to rape, torture and death.
http://www.telegraph.co....-Bahrain-dissidents.htmlThey're even trying to memorize how a person walks for identification purposes like a fingerprint!
The end result seen by the the United States Information Awareness Office is what they call Human Identification at a Distance (HumanID) that they describe as:
“The HumanID project is an automated biometric identification technology to detect, recognize and identify humans at great distances for “force protection,” crime prevention, and “homeland security/defense” purposes.
Its goals include programmes to:
Develop algorithms for locating and acquiring subjects out to 150 meters (500 ft) in range.
Fuse face and gait recognition into a 24/7 human identification system.
Develop and demonstrate a human identification system that operates out to 150 meters (500 ft) using visible imagery.
Develop a low power millimeter wave radar system for wide field of view detection and narrow field of view gait classification.
Characterize gait performance from video for human identification at a distance.
Develop a multi-spectral infrared and visible face recognition system.”
An in-depth October, 2010 report by the American newspaper Examiner detailed how Facebook was already censoring and suppressing various news stories in the United States, including keeping protests from starting against the BP oil spill.
The way I look at it is like this.
Just imagine if in the days of George Washington King George of England had this technology to spy on and know about everything and everyone in the Continental Army.
Do you think we would have won the Revolutionary war?
The King would have known about everyone in the Army and all their family and would no where to find their relatives so that they could be tortured unless the Army would surrender.
How about if they had this technology during the Spanish Inquisition?
Boy... the Catholic Church sure would've had a field day with that!
So I really think that it's TIME FOR US TO GROW UP and admit to ourselves the reality of this dangerous world.
Like the Bible says "when I was a child, I acted like a child, I spoke as a child, I thought like a child, but when I grew up I gave up my childish ways"
Hey maybe,,, they say that psychedelics make people paranoid because,,,, they really do reveal to the mind of man the real truth about the world we live in.
