A FLOCK OF SHEEP, OR, THE SHEEP ARE FLOCKED.

There are 120,000 Flock spy cameras installed now in 49 of the 50 states, that do more than just read license plates as they were originally intended. They can also identify the person driving the vehicle, and track the vehicle by its:

• Dirt and scratches
  Bumper stickers or specific dents
  Roof racks and unique wheel rims
  The exact make, model, color, and year
  The projected full saturation of these cameras when completed is estimated at 2 to 3 million, considering not just Flock but their other competitors in a growing market. These cameras don’t just track vehicular traffic, they watch everything, foot traffic, everything. This is the well-established beginning of a national surveillance system on a par with China’s.
  What makes the 2-to-3 million cameras in the future possible isn’t just buying more hardware—it is connecting what already exists.
  Private security cameras (like Ring doorbells or commercial building cameras) are increasingly being upgraded with software patches that turn standard video feeds into license plate readers. This means the infrastructure can grow exponentially without anyone needing to dig holes or plant new metal poles. That Ring Doorbell Camera you pay monthly for is reporting and recording everything that goes by your front door, including you.
  Google AI and no doubt the other social media AIs all retain what you ask and talk about to some degree, in order to simply keep an eye on what you’re doing. In China, where there’s a Social Behavior point system, this really matters. Their surveillance system is much more advanced than in the US, which doesn’t yet have a social point system, and literally where your next meal comes from can depend on your social points. China has established as full a control over it’s people as it may be possible to do.
  Considering the advent of Flock and other surveillance, Ring cameras, Facebook and other social media, the US is well on the way to comparing to China, and that social point system may be coming, too.
  Then there’s AI. Since the government, via the military, has built and is expanding their own and civilian AI’s are built and being expanded while still others are being built, it’s impossible to get an estimate of just how much electronic brain power there is now, let alone what the future holds. Elon is building Colossus, to be the largest single AI in the world and his funding comes mostly from the US military budget, one reason Trump has pushed for a greatly expanded military budget. Elon Musk is deeply imbedded with the US government, the US military and with China. Remember this. He may not be the Great Benefactor of Humanity that his press keeps saying he is.
  One of the purposes of all this expanded AI is to keep track of everyone. All those cameras are useless unless the data can be instantly analyzed. When they want someone tracked they want it done in real time. Between the massive surveillance system and unlimited AI, there will be no problem knowing what anyone is doing at any time. And, of course, don’t forget the technology which is well advanced now that can see through walls and hear every word.
  “Fringe” is a word I haven’t been very fond of because search engines and the MSM always use it in a derogatory manner when discussing any group, person, theory or anything else that doesn’t gibe with their political or  Woke bias. But lately, as government surveillance of the citizenry expands and becomes more effective in the cities, the more I appreciate living out here on the fringe of civilized society, in a remote small town with no Flock cameras. Yet anyway.
