The Internet was once hailed as liberating, but it’s become a tool of surveillance and repression. From Dr. Joseph Mercola at theburningplatform.com:
Story at-a-glance
- The internet was likely not intended to remain free forever. The intention for it to be used as a totalitarian tool was baked in from the start
- Google started as a DARPA grant and was part of the CIA’s and NSA’s digital data program, the purpose of which was to conduct “birds of a feather” mapping online so that certain groups could be neutralized
- All of the early internet freedom technologies of the ‘90s were funded by the Pentagon and the State Department. They were developed by the intelligence community as an insurgency tool — a means to help dissident groups in foreign countries to develop a pro-U.S. stance and evade state-controlled media. Now, these same technologies have been turned against the American public, and are used to control public discourse
- In the past, censorship was a laborious task that could only be done after the fact. Artificial intelligence has radically altered the censorship industry. AI programs can now censor information en masse, based on the language used, and prevent it from being seen at all
Pappy showed me the prototype years ago at a now defunct military base.
It was all military and connected to other databases.
I studied WAR there at the library with my civilian ID.
Good times back when the Long March wasn’t endgame.
