The Flock cancer is going metastatic
54,000 Flock cameras around the country in January, to 129,000 now. This, despite intense public opposition at every level.
It’s becoming more clear what all the data centers will be used for: to process the data collected by AI surveillance tech.
This tech is being sold as a way to “make us safer”, but we’ve never needed total surveillance to make us safer. We already know who the criminals are. Our problem is arresting them, prosecuting them, and ensuring they remain imprisoned. The answer is not to treat every single citizen as a suspect. We know how this system will be used. We know how it would’ve been used during COVID, we know how it would’ve been used by Biden against Trump supporters, and we know how it will be used during the next manufactured crisis.
While we can theoretically legislatively prohibit Flock use by police, there is nothing to stop private companies from using it. And many already are. Facial recognition is used throughout the retail industry. We saw during the COVID era that private industry is more of a threat to personal liberty and privacy than government, because private industry isn’t constrained by the Constitution. During COVID, government simply told private industry what to do, and they did it, bypassing the legislative process entirely.
Why is a massive surveillance apparatus being rolled out almost overnight? Here is my theory: The post-WW2 Boomer generation was the most heavily-propagandized generation in history. Propaganda became a high art, and with the advent of mass media (TV, radio, phones, et cetera) it became very easy to transmit beliefs and realities to Middle America, so much so that agitprop artists could create reality for the vast majority. The propaganda became so ubiquitous, Middle America so saturated with it, that it ceased to be seen as something apart. It was their reality, and formed their minds during crucial phases. With the advent of the internet, Elon’s purchase of X, and more unrestrained flow of alternative sources of information, the Propaganda lost its grip on the American mind. The gatekeepers and manipulators of information see that their reign is at an end. The American mind can no longer be held in thrall, and so they see that new methods of control must be instituted. Hence, total surveillance and control of the rising generation, who can no longer be puppeteered by covert persuasion. The carrot is being discarded for the stick.
On January 1, 2024 there were 440 flock cameras in the US.
One year later that number was up 10x to 4,511
In January of this year it had increased another 12x to 54,072
And in just the last 8 months it has ballooned to almost 129,000
