Facial Recognition Technology from the NFL, British Govt, etc

“Facial recognition is expanding. It is a crucial element of the Technocratic State. [Of course] it would come via football because entertainment is one of the easiest ways to sell surveillance,” wrote journalist Derrick Broze.

He continued with a quote from his book How to Opt-Out of the Technocratic State, saying, “From doorbell cameras to home assistants and TVs that are always snooping, the masses are voluntarily abandoning privacy in the name of entertainment and convenience.”

The Technocratic State is here, face it. :joy:

It came via the border security and airports first. For your safety of course.
The same argument will be used until it is implemented worldwide, with a facerec-cam next to that Pepsi machine on top of the Kanchenjunga mountain.
And if there should be any protests there will be some false flags op’s and the people will demand them everywhere.

Ah, yes, once again “to enhance security and convenience” . . . the warm-and-fuzzy Orwellian boot that yearns to stamp on our faces forever!

In all likelihood, we have been under constant facial recognition technology since the events of 911.

From President Eisenhower’s Farewell Address to the nation; January 1961 (emphasis mine).

"In the councils of government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military-industrial complex. The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists and will persist.

We must never let the weight of this combination endanger our liberties or democratic processes. We should take nothing for granted. Only an alert and knowledgeable citizenry can compel the proper meshing of the huge industrial and military machinery of defense with our peaceful methods and goals, so that security and liberty may prosper together.

Akin to, and largely responsible for the sweeping changes in our industrial-military posture, has been the technological revolution during recent decades.

In this revolution, research has become central; it also becomes more formalized, complex, and costly. A steadily increasing share is conducted for, by, or at the direction of, the Federal government.

Today, the solitary inventor, tinkering in his shop, has been over shadowed by task forces of scientists in laboratories and testing fields. In the same fashion, the free university, historically the fountainhead of free ideas and scientific discovery, has experienced a revolution in the conduct of research. Partly because of the huge costs involved, a government contract becomes virtually a substitute for intellectual curiosity. For every old blackboard there are now hundreds of new electronic computers.

The prospect of domination of the nation’s scholars by Federal employment, project allocations, and the power of money is ever present and is gravely to be regarded.

Yet, in holding scientific research and discovery in respect, as we should, we must also be alert to the equal and opposite danger that public policy could itself become the captive of a scientific-technological elite."

Ironically using a television broadcast to warn us, yet it seems all we did was just watch more television as more and more channels were added which take our mind off his message and ta da! Here we are…

Or the government will supply them on their own; in response to… oh, protests. What a coincidence.

Unedited excerpt of his speech:
Rather – this was a meeting to pull together our response…
A response both to the immediate challenge…
Which is clearly driven by far-right hatred.
But also - all violent disorder that flares up.
Whatever the apparent cause or motivation – we make no distinction…
Crime is crime.
And so - to that end…
I can announce today, that following this meeting…
we will establish a national capability, across police forces…
To tackle violent disorder.
These thugs are mobile…
They move from community to community…
And we must have a policing response that can do the same.
Shared intelligence…
Wider deployment of facial recognition technology…
And preventive action – criminal behaviour orders…
To restrict their movements…
Before they can even board a train…
In just the same way we do with football hooligans.
And let me also say to large social media companies and those who run them…
Violent disorder clearly whipped up online…
That is also a crime.

The special policing task force to control the hooligans statement…“A Clockwork Orange” (Anthony Burgess) comes to mind. But I doubt those caught will get ‘rehabilitated’ in the same way.

… pun intended? Heeee!

… yet another reason for not wasting time on such events.

The NFL and all other sport-ball events ought to be completely ignored, if not boycotted for their obvious roles in engineering degeneracy.
