We're fucked.
And go where?
The US is the last bastion of freedom,if we fall the world is fucked.
Not just yet but we're sure heading that way.
My one regret is my Niece is going to have to grow up with where we're headed.
Me...I'll be dead before it happens.
'IF" ?
And go where?
The US is the last bastion of freedom,if we fall the world is fucked.
Yes if.
I'm not ready to just give a bunch of commies the US.
This is what many are counting on. We know what's coming but don't want the psychological burden of accepting that it's our fault.
Of course you're not ready.
You may mean well, but your act of valor won't stop the inevitable.
If there's anything you could actually do....what are you waiting for?
There will be no act of valor from me other than a last stand.
My hip is far too fucked up to form any real resistance.
The Marxists and Communists (aka Socialists) can't believe how great things are going.
Sounds just like China.
The U.S. Government Is Building A Vast Surveillance And Speech Suppression Web Around Every AmericanOur government is preparing to monitor every word Americans say on the internet and censor citizens who don’t toe the party line.21 Mar 2023 ~~ By Margot ClevelandGrants Reveal Feds' Horrific Plans To Censor Americans’ Speech
Our government is preparing to monitor every word Americans say on the internet and censor citizens who don’t toe the party line.thefederalist.com
Our government is preparing to monitor every word Americans say on the internet—the speech of journalists, politicians, religious organizations, advocacy groups, and even private citizens. Should those conversations conflict with the government’s viewpoint about what is in the best interests of our country and her citizens, that speech will be silenced.
While the “Twitter Files” offer a glimpse into the government’s efforts to censor disfavored viewpoints, what we have seen is nothing compared to what is planned, as the details of hundreds of federal awards lay bare. Research by The Federalist reveals our tax dollars are funding the development of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine-learning (ML) technology that will allow the government to easily discover “problematic” speech and track Americans reading or partaking in such conversations.
Then, in partnership with Big Tech, Big Business, and media outlets, the government will ensure the speech is censored, under the guise of combatting “misinformation” and “disinformation.”
AI and ML Technology Will Monitor Everything We Say and Read
The federal government has awarded more than 500-plus contracts or grants related to “misinformation” or “disinformation” since 2020. One predominant area of research pushed by the Department of Defense involves the use of AI and ML technology to monitor or listen to internet conversations.
Originally used as a marketing tool for businesses to track discussions about their brands and products and to track competitors, the DOD and other federal agencies are now paying for-profit public relations and communications firms to convert their technology into tools for the government to monitor speech on the internet.
1. Everything Everywhere All At Once First,
First, the AI and ML technology under development will mine every conceivable mode of conversation for the government. Consider, for example, the databases monitored by just a few of the companies the government is paying to develop this AI and ML technology.
PeakMetrics, the recipient of a $1.5 million award, tracks millions of news sites, blogs, global social platforms, podcasts, TV and radio, and email newsletters.
Omelas Inc., which received more than $1 million in taxpayer money, culls data from “the most influential newspapers, TV channels, government offices, militant groups, and more across a dozen social networks and messaging apps, thousands of websites, and thousands of RSS feeds.”
2. We’re Talking Americans, Not Just Russian Bots
It is also important to recognize that the AI and ML technology under development will not just mine foreign or state-connected actors, but will monitor everyone’s speech. Both the government grants and the web pages of the monitoring companies confirm this reality.
We also know from the “Twitter Files” that the government and its fellow residents in the Censorship-Industrial Complex view the speech of Americans as related to foreign influence operations merely because the viewpoint matches what they claim is an adversary’s perspective. And we know the government pushed for the censorship of ordinary Americans.
By its nature, AI and ML technology has unlimited potential to flag problematic speech on any imaginable subject. Here, the past is prologue: Speech need not involve terrorism, acts of war, or even our electoral process for our government to consider it within its purview to fact-check. (It also need not be false; see point 4).
~Snip~
With Democrats, the legacy media, and many Republicans all in on the government’s efforts to censor misinformation and disinformation, it will be extremely difficult for the public to recognize the risks free speech faces—especially since those trying to sound the alarm have already been falsely branded purveyors of disinformation.
A chance remains, though, that enough ordinary Americans will hear the message before it is too late and demand Congress close the Censorship-Industrial Complex.
Commentary:
Amendment I
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.Maoist Democrats do not care about the Constitution. It is a worthless piece of paper in their minds. "It is a worthless piece of paper in their minds." Meaning they can reinterpret, alter, or destroy some or all of it.
The tenacity of our benevolent Maoist Communist rulers in imposing more and more tyranny is unmatched by those seeking (supposedly) to protect our Constitutional freedoms and liberties.
I continue to believe that George Orwell was a prophet.
