Let’s get to it.
Conjuring Big Brother
It has long been understood that the most successful method of influencing and directing large numbers of the human population is through direct social pressure. Not wanting to be outshined by over-achievers like Israel or Australia, ZeroHedge informs us the Japanese Government Starts “Naming and Shaming” Quarantine Rulebreakers. It’s almost like the governments of the world keep taking direction from some sort of playbook or something.
Speaking of Australia, they just can’t seem to stay out of the news. Citizen Free Press updates us on the latest dystopian developments from the land locked down under.
Aden Tate returns to the Organic Prepper with the eye-opening article the Citizen App: a Questionable Idea That Could Go Horribly Wrong. It appears Big Tech may have finally figured out how to turn ordinary unsuspecting people into components of the surveillance matrix. A concerned former employee of the developer behind the Citizen app had this to say:
“It fuels public insanity and fear. The effect of Citizen is to make everybody afraid in a community. I’m not a supporter.”
Call me crazy if you like, but Citizen appears to be right at home in the Orwellian landscape of COVID-1984.
Police State University: Class is in Session
Cryptogon reports on the Global Information Dominance Experiments(GIDE) being conducted by the U.S. Military, and a possible connection to Elon Musk’s Starlink project. The new blog post the Pentagon is Experimenting With Using Artificial Intelligence to “See Days in Advance,” is short on details, but posits that it could potentially allow the military to effectively peek days into the future. I’ve been doing that for years just by paying attention to the direction of the corporate media narrative. Which, at this moment, is reminding me of all the stories of FEMA camps being built around the country from a few years ago. I’m sure that was fake news, though.
California has finally gotten heart-attack-serious about dealing with their homeless problem. Uh, sorry… un-housed persons dilemma. Excuse me while I roll these eyes.
Writing for the Grayzone, and republished by Consortium News, Max Blumenthal exposes the money trail behind the latest round of social upheaval in his article Cuba’s U.S.-Backed Pop-Culture Dissidents. All the usual suspects have orchestrated their way out of the spotlight, and created convenient scapegoats for the corporate media to demonize. Just like they do with American pop-culture puppets – I mean – celebrities. READER ALERT: Like most of Max’s work, this is a time-consuming read.
