SAN FRANCISCO AND SAN DIEGO ARE NOW THE MOST EXTREME PUBLIC SURVEILLANCE CITIES IN AMERICA
HIPPIE DIPPIES IN SAN FRANCISCO ARE THE MOST SPIED ON IN USA! IRONIC!
Can you imagine a city in the United States secretly creating a
Chinese-style public surveillance network that can identify everyone? Can
you imagine that same city secretly creating a Chinese-style public
watchlisting network?
Well imagine no more because it has already happened.
When I wrote about "covert
facial recognition street lights coming to a city near you" last
year, I never would have dreamt that my article would become a reality so
quickly.
A recent article
in the San Diego Reader reveals how a hacker discovered emails between the
Port of San Diego and BriefCam.
The emails revealed that law enforcement is secretly using a network of
400 facial recognition surveillance cameras to identify everyone. (Click here to view a map of
where all 3,200 spying street lights are located.)
Last year, BriefCam announced
a "breakthrough" in real-time facial recognition surveillance.
"Robust multi-camera search capabilities identify men, women, children and
vehicles with speed and precision, using 25 classes and attributes, face
recognition, appearance similarity, color, size, speed, path, direction,
and dwell time."
According to another article,
the City of San Diego is using GE's CityIQ
street lights to listen to everyone.
In 2017, civil rights advocates sent a letter to the mayor and city
council asking the city not to install GE's streetlights.
“Devices capable of monitoring and recording residents invade privacy,
chill free speech, and disparately impact communities of color."
But as the article revealed, San Diego ignored the public's concerns and
secretly installed 3200 spying GE streetlights.
GE's spying streetlights have effectively "turned the city into a stealthy
laboratory for infrastructure-embedded intelligence collecting with
devices regularly used by the DEA, ICE and other security agencies." (To

Sounds like a lot of money would've been involved. Wonder where that could've come from since apparently none of this is in the public record.
ReplyEdward Hasbrouck of the
Identity Project discussing facial recognition:
The big takeaway is that the broad surveillance of people in
airports amounts to a kind of “individualized control of citizenry”
— not unlike what’s already happening with the social credit scoring
system in China. “There are already people who aren’t allowed on,
say, a high-speed train because their social credit scores are too
low,” he said, pointing out that China’s program is significantly
based in “identifying individual people and tracking their movements
in public spaces though automated facial recognition.”
“This is opening the door to an extraordinarily more intrusive and
granular level of government control, starting with where we can go
and our ability to move freely about the country,” Hasbrouck said.
“And then potentially, once the system is proved out in that way, it
can extend to a vast number of controls in other parts of our
lives.”

Social Media, Universal Basic
Income, and Cashless Society: How China’s Social Credit System Is
Coming To America
Unbeknownst to most people, there appears to be a real attempt to
create a system in which all citizens are rationed their “wages”
digitally each month in place of a paycheck, including the ability
to gain or lose money. This system would see any form of dissent
resulting in the cut off of those credits and the ability to work,
eat, or even exist in society. It would not only be the end of
dissent but of any semblance of real individuality.
In some cases, the move to become cashless is made by social
engineering and predatory marketing to convenience. In others, such
as India, the cashless society has been brought forward by law.
As I have written in many articles in the past, cashless programs
are almost always first introduced under the guise of convenience.
Then, as more and more people take the bait, the older methods of
payment are seen as cumbersome and, eventually, are phased out
completely. Mandates then replace what was once a personal choice.
Yet, what is so ironic about these programs is that, while the
program is touted as providing so much more convenience, even when
putting privacy and Cashless Society issues aside and, with the
program running at its optimum, they aren’t often really much more
convenient.
But that doesn’t stop the rollouts and it certainly doesn’t stop the
mandates. It’s as if people believe that masses of scientists,
corporations, and DARPA are putting their noses to the grindstone
for their convenience and not some other purpose. Do we really
believe that those organizations have, as their top priority, our
health, freedom, convenience, or happiness? Do we really believe
this or do we just not think about it at all?
Regardless, with the disappearance of cash also goes the ability to
live outside the mandates of the State which has always been the
goal of moving toward a cashless system. The United States is
rapidly approaching the phase out of cash as a means of exchange.
Don’t believe it? Just go to your local convenience store with a
$100 dollar bill.
