    And we knew that shit was happening there, just didn’t have confirmation it was Larry Fucking Ellison and Bill Gates enabling it.

    And since it was onebigassholenamedlarryellison et.al. to me that means it’s already here in the west, we just don’t have confirmation yet.

      I try to share this whenever I can

      https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2025/05/19/live-facial-recognition-police-new-orleans/

      Police have allegedly stopped using it bc they were in violation of city law. The private company that is definitely related completely unrelated to Palantir continues to use them and the police are pushing for a new ordinance which would allow them to legally keep using them while claiming this is no different than any other surveillance in the U.S.

      Except it’s the first of its kind in the U.S. real time tracking and monitoring network surveillance system using facial recognition tech. It notifies police of your movements in realtime. The cameras are everywhere and inescapable.

      Our roads are crumbling, we have a boil water advisory every other week, and parts of the city still flood every time it rains hard.

      Explain to me why we can’t have those issues fixed, but we have the privilege of being the first city to adopt and test out this system. Especially after we had the privilege of being one of the first cities Palantir secretly tested their predictive policing tech.

        This stuff gets even less attention in China. State censorship is even stronger there.

          US is an ascended super power… Our censorship is a two sides propaganda.

          No matter the issue, it is always left right. The fake duality of the US regime is deff biggest play of 20th century still printing in 21st.

          Single party/man regimes can’t play it so they reverted to censorship.

          But make no mistake, USian system of censorship is way more effective. They got the normies fighting each other while fucking robbing both of us.

          Can’t even properly align on the pedo bad issue 🤡
