Like it or not, the COVID-19 pandemic with its veiled threat of forced vaccinations, contact tracing, and genetically-encoded vaccines is propelling humanity at warp speed into a whole new frontier, a surveillance matrix, the likes of which we’ve only previously encountered in science fiction.
Those who see these developments with lingering mistrust have good reason to be leery: The government long has had a tendency to unleash untold horrors upon the world in the name of global conquest, the acquisition of greater wealth, scientific experimentation, and technological advances, all packaged in the guise of the greater good.
Indeed, “we the people” have been treated just like lab rats by government agencies for decades now: Caged, branded, experimented upon without our knowledge, or consent, and then conveniently discarded and left to suffer from the after-effects.
You don’t have to dig very deep or go very back in the Nation’s history to uncover numerous cases in which the government deliberately conducted secret experiments on an unsuspecting populace, making healthy people sick by spraying them with chemicals, injecting them with infectious diseases and exposing them to airborne toxins.
Now this same government, which has taken every bit of technology sold to us as being in our best interests (GPS devices, surveillance, nonlethal weapons) and used it against us, to track, control, and trap us, wants us to fall in line as it prepares to roll out COVID-19 vaccines that owe a great debt to the Pentagon’s Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency for its past work on how to weaponize and defend against infectious diseases.
The Donald Trump administration, by way of the National Institute of Health awarded $22.8 Million to seven corporations to develop artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning, with smart phone apps, wearable devices and software “that can identify and trace contacts of infected individuals, keep track of verified COVID-19 test results, and monitor the health status of infected and potentially infected individuals.”
This is all part of Operation Warp Speed, which president Donald Trump has likened to the Manhattan Project, a covert government effort spearheaded by the military to engineer and build the world’s first atomic bomb.
There is every reason to tread cautiously.
There is a sinister world beyond that which we perceive, one in which power players jockey for control over the one commodity that is a necessary ingredient for total domination: You.
By you, I mean you the individual in all your singular humanness.
Remaining singularly human and retaining your individuality and dominion over yourself, mind, body and soul, in the face of corporate and government technologies that aim to invade, intrude, monitor, manipulate, and control us may be one of the greatest challenges before us.
These COVID-19 vaccines, which rely on messenger RNA technology that influences everything from viruses to memory, are merely the tipping point.
The groundwork being laid with these vaccines is a prologue to what will become the police state’s conquest of a new, relatively-uncharted, frontier: inner space, specifically, the inner workings (genetic, biological, biometric, mental, emotional) of the human race.
If you were unnerved by the rapid deterioration of privacy under the surveillance state, prepare to be terrified by the surveillance matrix that will be ushered in on the heels of the government’s rollout of this COVID-19 vaccine.
Everything we do is increasingly dependent on and, ultimately, controlled by our internet-connected, electronic devices. For example, in 2007, there were an estimated 10 Million sensor devices connecting human utilized electronic devices, cell phones, laptops, to the Internet. By 2013, it had increased to 3.5 Billion. By 2030, it is estimated to reach 100 Trillion.
Much, if not all, of our electronic devices will be connected to Google, a neural network that approximates a massive global brain.
The end goal? The creation of a new “human” species, so to speak, and the NSA, the Pentagon and the “Matrix” of surveillance agencies are part of the plan.
Neuralink, a brain-computer chip interface (BCI), paves the way for AI control of the human brain. “In the most severe scenario, hacking a Neuralink-like device could turn hosts into programmable drone armies capable of doing anything their master wanted,” wrote Jason Lau for Forbes.
There’s no limit to what can be accomplished, for good or ill, using brain-computer interfaces.
Clearly, we are rapidly moving into the posthuman era.
Transhumanism, the fusing of machines and humans, is here to stay and will continue to grow.
In fact, as science and technology continue to advance, the ability to control humans only will increase. In 2014, for example, it was revealed that scientists have discovered how to deactivate that part of our brains that controls whether we are conscious or not.
Add to this the fact that increasingly humans will be implanted with microchips for benign purposes such as tracking children or as medical devices to assist with our health. Such devices “point to an uber-surveillance society that is Big Brother on the inside looking out,” said Dr. Katina Michael. “Governments, or large corporations, would have the ability to track people’s actions and movements, categorize them into different socio-economic, political, racial, or consumer groups and ultimately even control them.”
I make clear in my book, “Battlefield America: The War on the American People”, control is the issue.
All of this indicates a new path forward for large corporations and government entities that want to achieve absolute social control. Instead of relying solely on marauding SWAT teams and full-fledged surveillance apparatuses, they will work to manipulate our emotions to keep us in lock step with the American police state.
Now add this warp speed-deployed vaccine to that mix, with all of the associated unknown and fearsome possibilities for altering or controlling human epigenetics, and you start to see the perils inherent in blindly adopting emerging technologies without any restrictions in place to guard against technological tyranny and abuse.
It’s one thing for the starship Enterprise to boldly go where no man has gone before, but even Mr. Spock recognized the dangers of a world dominated by AI. “Computers make excellent and efficient servants,” he observed in “The Ultimate Computer” episode of Star Trek, “but I have no wish to serve under them.”
