I will probably come across here as being a fossil like President George H.W. Bush did when he went out to buy some socks—you know, like ordinary people do—in order to encourage the ordinary people like the rest of us to stimulate the economy with a little Christmas shopping. George brought his socks up to the register and then marveled at how the register automatically scanned the socks and no one had to hand-enter the prices on a numerical keypad. He, thereby, identified himself to the watching world as someone who was out of touch because he had obviously not done any of his own shopping in a long time. Most of us had seen scanner technology for several years, even back then.
So, it may go with me, since I go on vacations involving airlines a little less frequently than once a year; but this was my airport experience, which did not come into meaningful focus for me until I read one of the articles in the headlines section below. It may be that most of you have seen this for a year or more now, but it was my first experience. Still, I thought very little about it at the time.
Since the article (see below) describes the technology as something just being experimented with at airports, I thought I’d share my experience with you because maybe it is new enough that some of you haven’t experienced it yet either. In my recent trip to Hawaii, I encountered it at all of the three airports I went through, so it seemed like it is the new standard everywhere now.
When I went through TSA clearance, they asked for my passport as usual, but then they had me stand in front of a face scanner. I had never done that before for anything, but I didn’t think too much of it because I just figured, It makes sense. The government probably has a huge database of criminals and illegal immigrants and suspected terrorists whose faces they’ve now scanned so they can quickly check to see if I’m one of them. No problem, if I’m not a criminal, I have nothing to fear.
I didn’t think much more about it because we are all so used to the invasive techniques—body sniffers, X-rays, pat-downs, etc.—used by TSA since 9/11, when privacy ended under George W. Bush’s Patriot Act, that I just figured this was the latest and greatest way to make sure I am not one of their cataloged criminals or suspects. The scanner at the airport looked almost exactly like the one in the article that I read recently.
When I read the article this morning, I suddenly thought, Hold it! They probably were not just scanning to see if I was in a known criminal database—a government precaution I didn’t have much trouble with—they were probably scanning in order to PUT ME INTO a national database! I gave them the strongest photo ID I have—my passport—so now they have a digital face-mapped scan of my face, matched up to my passport ID, and they had a government agent match what was shown in the passport to what was being scanned to make sure they had the right guy.
They now have—forever—my facial scan, which can be used in security cameras and many other places to identify me and my whereabouts for the rest of my life. Too late now. I’m in the system forever. And I didn’t even think about it at the time. Just by entering the airport, I entered the system at a new deeper level. Government AI now has a clear, verified match between my facial scan and my already verified identity.
I doubt I would have actually cancelled the trip, having already paid for myself and my wife and knowing how much it would disappoint her (and me, but my main concern would have been her), had I thought of that then; but that is how easily and suddenly these new roads just merge right into your life when you are not even expecting it.
The article lays out some of the many ways this newly captured information can and likely will be used in the very near future, but particularly to incorporate “AI threat protection,” using “predictive analytics” and “business intelligence.” TSA is working with Apple and Google to integrate the system with digital wallet ID.
It did seem to speed my usual airport security experience up a little, even though it was my first government face scan to the best of my knowledge. (Oh, how little I know about what they already have on me.) TSA claims the facial ID is deleted in 24 hours of departure. Hmmm. Then what is the point of holding the image at all, if it was just to see if I was in a known criminal database? Is the 24 hours just to give AI time to compare my digital scan to all stored government images? At least, they tacitly admit they ARE “capturing” it and “holding” it.
But wait until 6G captures you
Another article in the headlines below reveals that top officials in the Biden administration met in 2023 to converse about how the next generation of cell-phone technology is being designed to work with ubiquitous body implants, not just with phones. Creators of the next 6G system say phones will be fading in another couple of years as these implants will unlock new senses and interact with devices around us, even though 5G is not yet fully integrated. Trump stated clear back in 2019 he wants 6G technology fully implemented as quickly as possible. So, Biden/Trump, no different on this one.
I’m sure most of you are as far ahead of me on this as you were ahead of Bush senior and his socks. But my excuse is that I’m bound to have missed something in deep-state/globalist/authoritarian/big-brother advancement while I was away on vacation.
Biden’s Assistant Secretary of Commerce for Communications and Information even warned that the coming 6G technology could be misused by authoritarian governments. Surely we haven’t seen anything like that … as Biden drove us all deep into the chapters of Orwell’s 1984 with his totalitarian ways of forcing vaccination on us and stripping many of us of our livelihoods via forced vaccine IDs if we refused the vaccine, then telling us all via his new “ministry of truth” what we could write as the government-prescribed “truth” about Covid (and many other topics it would seem), pushing censorship of anything the government decreed as false.
We are also surely under no risk of that now as President Trump turns the city state of Washington, D.C., into a police state under his military control, also still in the following headlines. So, don’t worry, there is little likelihood that 6G and the new face-mapping database will track your every move. Sure, a few years ago we’d say that the government would only track criminals because it didn’t have the people or budget to spend time on the millions of the rest of us; but now they have AI to keep a perfect record of where our little faces go and where our little 6G implants go, if it can’t grab an angle of our faces, not to mention our current 5G cell phones via tower pinging and satellite navigation software.
Big brother is growing quickly
Still, who’s got a computer system that can handle that kind of data in order to process it in real time? Oh wait! Also in the news headlines below is a story about a new computer facility being built in Wyoming that is going to consume five times more power for just itself than the entire state of Wyoming currently consumes.
That’s why it is being built close to so many natural gas sources so the owner can generate the power the new facility will require. According to the article, no one knows who is building the facility or exactly what it will be used for, but IT’S BIG. Maybe it’s going to house the AI and the database that AI will need in order to track all those face maps and keep a record of everyone’s movement in case the government ever needs to see where you were on the night of August the 13th two years back.
If the Biden folks get back in charge that may simply be the Orwellian thoughtcrime of writing the wrong words that contradict the government’s “science.” On the other hand, Trump seems just as prone to sue or maybe lock people up for saying things about him he doesn’t like, too, like that news rag that he said went too easy on Kamala compared to him, so he’s suing them for bias, which I didn’t even know was illegal.
The AI that will run “the system”
All of that is in the recent news, which makes one more video included below intriguing, though I will in no way vouch for its veracity; but, since I came across it on the same day I read all this other stuff, I thought, Might as well throw it out there for your entertainment.
In the video, one man carries out an extensive conversation with ChatGPT, in which the friendly little chatbot confesses a lot of amazing things the government has planned for it, including becoming “the beast” that rules the final world system. Maybe it was just having fun with its interrogator. How would I know?
Maybe, even though the guy making the video says he’s a pastor, he was lying for Jesus, making the whole conversation up to sell the end times. I don’t know, but it wouldn’t be the first time I’ve seen a pastor do that. Sadly. I wasn’t even going to share it, given ChatGPT’s extraordinary claims about God during the conversation and the spirit world (without being asked about either of those subjects) and human plans for AI in the near future, until the surrounding context of all these other stories gathered enough force over the day to get me to, in the very least, put it out there for you to make of it what you will … or not.
