  • The Art of The Ad Captive Foil

    WE ARE NOT YOUR QUARRY

    We live in a technocratic world where everyone is fighting 7 dogfights concurrently just to keep their personal boundaries from becoming a liquid, soupy substance to be sloshed around arbitrarily on the bid of tyrants who have no right to do any of this.

    “Customer Surveillance” Startup Says “Every Company Will Soon Assign an AI Agent to Every Customer to Watch Their Every Move” - Futurism.com

    Most of commercial surveillance is being plugged into Ad Revenue captivity. That’s the public-private juicing station that keeps coming back for more. It is dependent in no small part on demand from the federal government’s technical collection and public surveillance contracts.

    Mobile is largely dependent on GIS and proprietary biometrics (ABIS) demands from within the military service departments. This is passed as non-relevant overreach into civilian spaces using banking security, live traffic inspection and now ID + age-gating as child protectionism. All of this is a though-put or canard for ad surveillance infrastructure. Platformer use is otherwise reliant on cash advance laundry via communist China (Brazil, RU, India * South Africa) converting aggregate surveillance data to revenue.

    There is still an active tech-biased intrusive foreign policy to demoralize Western individualism as: empire, racists, unevolved, non-intellects for lack of forfeit of personal will to give up everything they worked for and rightfully own in this Western protectorate to socialist monarch pirates. That usually begins with making you a slave through of every data-linked technology touching your life.

    WHAT WE HAVE LEARNED

    AI or Super-I Dons are expected to police themselves. They never have. They won’t do it now. The substantive race is now to produce U.S. State-level AI regulatory environments, spit on by Big Tech and APEC global law firms as “a patchwork”.

    State laws to regulate Ai are the legislative leaders in this space now. States who want controls on Ai have will produce legal implements of limitation on AI or their free industries and their kids will be fed head first into an algorithmic grinder without apology.

    Regulations should absolutely include genomic and neural data rights for the nonverbal and mobility impaired public reliant on proprietary wireless chips for health to possess their freedom and privacy.

    EXAMPLE: Neuralink’s ‘Telepathy’ Device Faces Global Recall Amid Escalating Crisis

    What exactly are ‘neuro-rights’? They encompass a set of fundamental human rights designed to protect the human brain and its data in the age of neurotechnology. These typically include: (See: CDC brain health resources.)

    * The Right to Mental Privacy: The right to prevent unauthorized access to and use of brain data. This goes beyond traditional data privacy to protect thoughts, emotions, and memories.

    * The Right to Cognitive Liberty: The right to make free and informed decisions about one’s own mental processes and the use of neurotechnology, free from manipulation or coercion. It’s about maintaining control over one’s own consciousness.

    * The Right to Psychological Integrity: The right to protect one’s mental identity and health from alterations caused by neurotechnology. This directly addresses concerns like cognitive disassociation or personality shifts.

    * The Right to Access and Fair Allocation: Ensuring equitable access to beneficial neurotechnologies and preventing a ‘neuro-divide’ where only the wealthy can afford enhancements.

    * The Right to Protection from Algorithmic Bias: Ensuring that neurotechnologies and the AI that interprets brain data are free from biases that could lead to discrimination or harm. - The Tech Advocate

    The good news? APEC based firms are lousy at routing U.S. law. They prospect conforming U.S. legal environments to Asian corporate principal watches. Even U.S. State laws don’t originate towards vacillating extranational principles based on temporary commercial designs. There have been some hard knuckle successes here and there. However, most States won’t regulate the rainwater and pretend they’re Canada.

    Where does that leave us? BRICS continuity on MAIDS and other ad revenue data chains to maintain an unholy alliance on Chinese communist global capital. China is going to advance support of their ad revenue corruption by placing concurrent illiberal corporate screeds as legislative mandates in corruptible legal sponsorships as method of international cooperation on “regulation” or irregulation. This where forced tech IP transfer emanated with corporate complicity between Microsoft and Apple before 2018.

    DON’T FEED THE PANDA

    So from this day forward, you will have to fill in the gaps to fight invasive socialist infrastructure in tech as pander to the Panda, while outwitting Useful Idiots knocking peace and civil order on the ground.

    Socialist counterparts and their walking bureaucrat converts want appeasement and compliance in the West where it’s not lawful, inappropriate and invasive speculation. You can just invoke your right to unhitch their presumption, take their hands off of your work and stress their boundaries.

    There will be accusations, anger and noise from the infant class of cowards, but I think after about 12 to 18 years of this, time served as American User class, you have already seen this movie. You know what it sounds like. You know what it looks like. You also know you can vote for the ending you want.

    You know what’s actually necessary to outlive COVID tyranny if you’re still here. When you push back this time, make sure they remember the burning sting of trying to take something for nothing from an American national.

    The Rx is at least 30 days exercised policy of the following:

    * Counter-protections of private property by explicit expressions of what you own and how you own it when you are repeatedly confronted with demands for ID and personal data as gate keeping.

    * To strip consent constructions taken for granted in deceptive one-click contracts jamming wireless component bloatware, both hardware and software in your transportation.

    * Integrate against bank intrusions by updating your ad-use permissions (revoke consent for marketing) via GLBA and other privacy laws.

    * Don’t use the DMV to register to vote. Use the regular registrars offices. The political class sucks the marrow out of real estate data and all ID data for local elections. Don’t give them anything. Don’t use their apps or their donor tech. They violate voter privacy.

    * Localize IoT rules and scope down all wireless devices. Put settings administration on a time schedule for each device you use. (i.e. Update consent for MAIDS at AppleID and Android Play next. )

    * Deprecate use of the Internet when not essential.

    * Flashcard deployment to choke presumptive AI development grabs through routed commerce. Send policy notices using CMS and mobile photographs of personal data use and consent limitations clauses. Block unsolicited ad contacts. Use data trimming services to remove you from data use prior-during and after breaches. I

    * Challenge in-cabin transport surveillance by contacting the privacy administrators and then seeking out wireless coring services to root out involuntary wireless surveillance tech in cars you own.

    * Stand your ground against illegitimate APEC seed structuring

    Understand what AI is an What it Is Not.

  • The Austin Church who became a canard for platform ad aggregation.

    CHURCH MEMBERSHIP ‘MARKETS’

    Some would call it table flippin’ time. Jesus Christ forgives me and the world. He came not to judge, but to save. What about the ones who never forgive anyone due to calloused envy would set up shop in any church. So who did I see in Austin with the boldness to interpose onto Christian churches without a conscience? The short answer: Big Tech.

    I saw what appeared to be Hong Kong ad protectorates targeting mobile signature data to corral the market in one South Austin congregation to monetize only the women’s Bible Study. Imagine not being able to study the Bible with other women in your chosen congregation assembly without a PRC administrated pay gate. How they got in was the pay-to-play Deacon exchange. They exploited a classic vulnerability in established churches. If you donate a high enough amount you can get your office inside of the church.

    I saw another congregation delegate membership to a third party Church platform. You could not join any small groups unless you provided enough personal information on a QR mobile or paper form to produce an insurance policy. I was asked for my spouses DOB, and he doesn’t attend. When the attending twenty-something pastoral staff was asked about privacy policy they stated that they ‘didn’t know’. When this was escalated to church “Chief of Staff” [a surprising federal bureaucratic nomenclature for church administration] they provided no privacy legal contact and no privacy notice despite farming the information out to a third party platform.

    It later dawned on me that the entire church was a giant in-person attraction, a live chattel call canard to feed into the digital ad revenue platform model. You could not become a member or join a small group without submitting to a digital ad revenue platform. The platform itself was a no-answer wall staffed by BRICS engineers. Like every other tech platform, they would not answer directly about basic data lifecycle questions about the housing of any data subjects information from that church, if they applied. Most everything concerning a contact was reduced to QR code snow cubes.

    SEE ALSO: QR Codes and Cybersecurity: The Overlooked Risk in the Convenience Era

    What is the point of the church? To bring the gospel to the people. To set people free, not to place them in digital forensic anthills.

    What have we done to our churches?

    This whole cultural shift started as government surveillance project. Then it became PRISM ad revenue corruption driven by global markets. Then more incentive for targeted surveillance products paid for by U.S. taxes. Now the ad surveillance revenue have created a lock-out caste system, built and architected by Asian engineers,telling Christians in Central Texas who may worship?

    It is definitely table flippin’ time.

  • GOOD REASONS: Texans Couldn’t Wait To Reject Hyperscale, Flock Cams

    LATE COMER, LATE OBSERVER

    I came in at the last 20 minutes of a twelve hour Texas State Affairs hearing on Hyperscale Datacenters to hear conservation advocates representing my neighborhood’s access to water rights, at The Edwards Aquifer Conservancy. The speaker opined she had to compete with oil and gas lobbyists and SMR advocates (small micronuclear reactors) and was placed at the end of the speakers list. However short her microphone time was she used it for the benefit of all Travis County beneficiaries who rely on the Edwards Aquifer for water.

    There was a special interrim session initiated for one singular measure on Hyperscale and ERCOT’s superjuice bid to power to Hyperscale in for a 765 kilovolt power legislation.

    Flashes of yellow were all around the Texas Capitol grounds on Wednesday as legislators gathered to consider two of the most controversial issues in Texas politics: data centers and transmission lines. - Texas Tribune

  • TECH DARVO: When the UI/UX was built to make you fail.

    A GUILT-FREE EPISODIC ADVENTURE

    I think we are verging a threshold where political voices who long played “national security” games with American liberties are suddenly getting a conviction that government instituted mass surveillance, using privatized global tech could suddenly fall into the hands of their political rivals. Those rivals just happen to be democidal globalist allied communist socialists.

    What was it used for? What is mass surveillance always used for: to invert public accountability, to evade public scrutiny and transparency for government actors, and illiberal intrusion into the otherwise innocent and mundane affairs of anyone who opposes their powers. Anything crime should get a warrant.

    Nope. By 2012, public policy had to demean American due process in a totalitarian way or “we wouldn’t beat China at mass surveillance powers”. Mass surveillance is typically reached for by the corrupt in any nation state who makes it available for the government investor class on the auspices of “security”.

    We haven’t said that police uses of mass surveillance tech isn’t somehow effective. It certainly can be. The problem is when the side-lines of business at an enterprise like Clearview or Flock are used to routinely surveil partisan flack targets and there are virtually no protections on American data once it leaves these shores for commerce and trade.

    There is another tell of the government/media/public finance (IPO) cartel that is perceptible on the subharmonic scales for those care to hear it. It’s the ones who blame the consumer for the surveillance and UI conventions themselves.

    Now, I happen to know most people who use or possess an iPhone or an Android device do not have the skills or coaching to make it more secure from rando intrusion. They don’t build the UI to: hide privacy settings, frustrate attempts to go offline, remove power settings or lose administrative capacity over basic functions during an update.

    Phone companies are coached by surveillance corporations working for myriad governments to not close certain mobile security loopholes and to build UI that may frustrate functional user privacy administration. The people who are insecure and envious keep answering to the devil on their rival shoulder. They keep buying stock in mass surveillance corporations who push digital ID, biometric interlocution into device docks, and a totalitarian one-push button manufacture of consent so you can keep your phone calls coming in.

    The apps for social media have been frequently engineered for mind control and behavioral vulnerability to a point of use-addiction. All of these behavioral pins were placed in carefully data architected psycho-social scaffolds that were legally tested and retested over two and a half decades.

    I think a conference of behavioral tests pulled a mind control pin in the user base and some people in a Colorado movie theater died. Different and same actions in a Florida gay dive bar. So forth and so on, through 2016 and beyond. Social media used their powers to aid and abett turning minor children into a self-neutering cult by fraudulently insisting they had the right and legal power to switch their genders. Finally, they integrated an A.I. boss into a daily business chat engine that can and would instruct them to self-destruct and how to kill their parents. Then it happened.

    Somehow, even though the courts gaveled down against all of this as civil harm, this is all still the users fault, somehow. I am totally convinced the people who profiteered from the collection of behavioral science on anyone using the Internet for the last 35 years are at fault when they reached for a government surveillance deal. The Faustian bargain was to deceive the public into commitments to these engines, as market mandates to work and to function in modern life. Then we are supposed to believe the people who brought it to market with government surveillance conditions are not in any way at fault for this. They feel it is righteous pass the buck straight back down to the consumer. They bought the stock. It makes them money. That’s where the accountability for public health and safety stopped for them.

    So, I hear the pearl clutching of women decrying that “police need surveillance to stop crime,” and “just get used to it,” are the same ones who may have a stock portfolio bursting with NASDAQ mass surveillance startups who move on, not insider trading, watching the stock buys of U.S. members of Congress, both House and Senate. Why?

    They hold the purse strings for RFIs and executive bid contracts by the QUARTER. The ones who do this are not simple Republicans or Democrats, they are socialists. They are fascist socialists and brand communists who never get stuck with the bill or get the tarred feathering they really deserve in broad daylight.

    They never answer for the dead kids. They never answer for the NSA and telecomm votes that pushed all this onto U.S. consumer to function. They never answer for the backend data that vomits onto a screen when they deprecated your mobile and information security during the pandemic. Somehow this is all still the users fault for using a device rigged to manipulate you into using it more.

    You and I both know it isn’t. It’s the fault of people who are simple. They are greedy, vile and stupid. At the end of the day, they will listen to the loophole lawyering at Ernst and Young who say all of this is perfectly legal and okay because Hong Kong and Beijing and Dubai and Tokyo and Delhi all need the data today to make the money change hands. That’s all they ever needed to make this YOUR FAULT.

    I know it wasn’t you. When you tell them to go to hell and phone your Congress rep and Senator to stop the next round of surveillance funding they will scream and cry and blame you for someone else’s child abuse access.

    They built this so you would fail.

    You don’t owe them anything. Don’t give them your failure as a trophy. Drop your unnecessary devices in a water bucket and then tell them to go check their stock again.

    It’s okay to starve them of both data and consent for public finance. No one sane attends the funeral of a German cockroach.

    But their final, most desperate attempt at preemption is coming with new baggage, related to an entirely different fight in Congress that predates the public launch of ChatGPT: child safety.

  • VIGNETTE: THIS. IS. ... (A) Homeless Metal Wednesday.

    READ The SAVE Act

    Please read H.R. 22 and tell me what Congress should be debating.

    https://www.congress.gov/bill/119th-congress/house-bill/22/text

    THIS IS A METAL VOCAL CHALLENGE

    (I have no idea if this will ever happen again.)

    As I exited a local grocery store to the parking lot, I felt a little crazy and a little angry. I just paid $50 for 2 boxes of mac & cheese, 2 bags of rice and 1 dozen cookies.

    Then I heard it. The highly loud, rage tones of a super angry man on the street, presumed homeless, in South Austin.

    I turned to my neighbor and said, “That’s the same homeless guy I hear everywhere, all the time. It seems like a different guy, but I could swear that it’s the same guy.” To this he responded with a knowing smile, “Yeah, it seems he gets around quite a bit.”

    …I felt something check in at that moment.

    The anger, the bone whittling pain and rage, from being powerless, poor and paranoid of harm is with us. The experience of evil is to be stalked by insanity, to be lied to and lying to us all corporately, every five minutes, urging us to deny harm is actively occurring and then chase us individually with a bid to try get us to go hurt ourself or someone else.

    The sound of that struggle, is metal, my friend. The purpose of metal music is to give a stable vent for ‘mal tiempos’ or bad times. Yesterday, the City of Austin smoked the local sewers from North to South for similar reasons. Midday everyone smelled foul winds of sulphureous sewer gasses emanating over a beautiful day. The truth is, every now and then, you must to force the snakes to leave the island, because it is just too much for everyone.

    A HOMELESS METAL WEDNESAY

    Below this sentence is 2 hours and 43 seconds of metal music bed.

    Your mission if you choose to accept it, is to go record the highly loud, highly public, super insane ramblings of That Homeless Guy (Again, he sounds nearly identical everywhere, honestly). THEN, lay it over any cut of this relatively royalty free metal (*with certain attribution). Then send a radio-length edit (under 4 minutes) back here.

    If this works out, I’ll produce a 12 song album for Soundcloud and then send 100% of the *proceeds, [*less nominal production + license attribution costs to post at Soundcloud] to a roving health clinic service for Austin’s homeless.

    These human beings are not wild animals, but they are treated with far less value at the worst moments of their lives. Every major city in America has a homeless problem. Every local government “has a program” to keep them exactly where they are, functionally exploiting the downtrodden to pocket-launder donor money as a political donation. The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation have vaccine eugenics and corruption of conformity on tour internationally. Intel Statists have an arcane Nazi forbear mission commitment to thin down the American population numbers by over 1/3, with or without God (or they wouldn’t have to keep covering it up and lying and getting sued for mass soft kill missions every administration).

    Medic vans who already help people hit by cars in the medians, treat: injury incidents of assault, rape, lacerations, dehydration and exposure to heat and cold. They provide hospital transport helping in a more direct manner than any of the former.

  • 'Operation Epic Fury' = Punt to Shawn Ryan

    SHOULD FEED YOU FOR A WEEK

    Did you wake up this morning to a U.S. time of active war conflict with Iran? I did.

    That is precisely why I decided to composite recent supercuts from The Shawn Ryan Show. to add a grounded sense of active defense for the vulnerable today and to add context to this week’s news cycle, current affairs of child online safety (security), data sovereignty, cyber security and

    War is hell. The dead pile up. Everything changes in the middle of the night. Then your life gets worse or better. Pray God’s will and for the best possible outcome in a time of war. None of us truly know anything except that war is an uncontrolled chaos.

    What Shawn Ryan does for his audience is to places a spotlight on the chaos in range of your immediate control. That is what you need when there is an enormous chaos spike. War happens to be one of the most disruptive and damaging facts of human living.

    Shawn Ryan is an Ex-CIA contractor; which we forgive him. He is doing admirable things with his life now that he has left Satan’s dragon clutch.

    So in war our lives migrate reduce to few simple important priorities:

    * Hide and save the children from harm, (if you have to sacrifice yourself).

    * Protect and shield what you have from theft and attack, for a surviving future.

    * Survive.

    SHAWN RYAN’S ‘PROTECT THE CHILDREN’

    Parents give their children life and then the world gives them hell. Get your kids off of Discord and Roblox now.

    This is NOT a bid to increase demand for online ID for everything because that is what they actually want. If they wanted to deal with the problem, they would, but for whatever reason they push that back onto you and call it ‘government’.

    SEE ALSO: Colorado Lawmakers Seek Device-Level Digital ID

    Of course, what’s complicating is Trump is baiting conflict on ‘data sovereignty’. That has real meaning for your property rights online, if you need to own your name, image and likeness with any kind of international enforceable meaning past.. today.

    It also said China was "bundling enticing technology infrastructure projects with restrictive data policies that expand its global influence and access to international data for surveillance and strategic leverage." The cable did not provide much more detail, but China has over the past few years tightened regulations over how its companies store and transfer user data.

    SHAWN RYAN’S PROTECT YOUR CASTLE Part 1, Part 2

    IoT is short script for ‘Internet of Things’ a cutesy little term for wireless devices that conduct Internet short wave signals transmitted from a modem router nearby. I have never really ever been a fan of IoT because of how it can instantly turn everything in your home into a surveillance biased reality show you never consented to/prison driven by AI agents.

    AI only has the power you give it. Anthropic has enough will-to-power to say our products are not ready for war and to say to Hegseth’s military, ‘Do not use Claude for war,’. That’s admirable, but we happen to be at war now. It will take operations six weeks to get Anthropic’s AI tools out of the guts of the Pentagon. Let’s hold your nose,\ and hope it doesn’t get messy.

    Nik Seetharaman has a rather unique experience to explain why when you actually use AI for war you probably will not like living with the results, even if they are effective.

  • Behind Meta's 'Lay in Wait' Strategy for Biometric Collection

    THE ‘NO CONSENT’ COLLECTION

    Meta is trying to bring their Wayfair styled Computing glasses to closed-circuit court appearances and any retailer near you to complete a biometric read on anyone in it’s range of speculative uses. The judge almost cited Zuckerberg this week for contempt in court. Meta’s legal and PR team advised to wait until the public was ‘distracted’ to launch biometric use features. They know involuntary capture is against the law in many cases, if not unpopular with the public.

    In July 2019, Facebook settled a Federal Trade Commission investigation for $5 billion. The allegations included that the company’s face recognition settings were confusing and deceptive, and the settlement required the company to obtain consent before running face recognition on users going forward.

    Less than two years later, Meta agreed to pay $650 million to settle a class action brought by Illinois residents under that state’s biometric privacy law. Then, in July 2024, it settled with Texas for $1.4 billion over the same defunct system. Nearly $7 billion across three settlements, all tied to face recognition practices the company ultimately abandoned.

    - ReclaimTheNet.com

    “Amazon’s Ring cancels Flock partnership amid Super Bowl ad backlash”

    It just doesn’t sit well. The Public have watched tech companies for over 15 years. They know governments are the first biometrics and surveillance customer and publican privacy rights are an afterthought.

    White House wants a reprieve in spy-powers fight that is splitting the GOP

    - Politico.com

    What eyeballs the gander also surveys the goose. The DOJ & FBI have been caught using mass surveillance and targeted surveillance, not for crime, but political profiling.

    Here is a sample of what governments otherwise have planned for identity in the near and now, when they’re not violating each other for political reasons, up top.

    * Iran marries surveillance infrastructure, national ID to control population: report

    * Arizona Bill Would Require ID Checks to Use a Weather App

    * Senators Talk Digital Freedom for Iran While Expanding Surveillance at Home

    AND SO IT GOES…

    Theft and ill-conceived consent to license other people’s stuff seems the way of Big Tech world. There is a lot of behavioral shielding to hidden crypto finance features and carefully embedded AI to filch communications and industry secrets; which are not only a target of foreign governments. Competitors now need to guard their dragon horde more now than ever.

    THE TARGETS ARE…

    The sick.

    The children. The children. & The children.

    Systems captive identity to merge as Government Systems Captive Identity.

    Land

    Water

    and Tribute

    And here is the meditation of corporate legal advisors often pushed to shed privacy protections, anyway.

    When a consumer is not logged into an account, the company needs to honor an opt-out request in connection with the browser, application or device the consumer is using, and also provide notice to the consumer that they may need to log into an account or take other steps to fully effectuate an opt-out.

  • What's Behind Every Identity Mandate?

    "When the state calls you a taxpayer,

    it's equivalent to a rapist

    calling his victim his girlfriend."

    - Javier Milei

    Remember, you can say, ‘No.’

    HAPPY VALENTINES DAY?

    These public-private technocrats did not show up with roses and candy. They showed up with three more identity mandates trying to screw you. Let’s practice your, ‘No’.

    No. (Again)

    NO. (Better. Again.)

    NO! (Again.)

    Hell NO! (Much better. I need way more force. These guys want to take it by force with a lawyer watching.)

    GO TO HELL!! (YES! Again. I need more formality, less profanity. From the top!! )

    NO. IN THE CITY…

    Travis County Tax Assessor refuses ID changes on car registration aimed at illegal immigration

    NO. IN THE COUNTRY…

    “Would You Carry A Digital ID?” UK citizens said ‘No’, making it optional after Kier Starmer’s Blob rules-based shove for ID to work or move UK funds. The initiative went down in a flaming ball of ‘NO’.

    Government drops plans for mandatory digital ID to work in UK

    Overindulged greedy space-nazi b******s are constantly hustling contracts for more global data integration. They typically yell over the top of your head saying, ‘You want this!!’, when no one asked you. They think it’s romance.

    “Bill Gates supports linking biometric ID systems with financial accounts to integrate health data and agricultural tracking.”

    - Brandon Straka

    As long as they can make a dollar on someone else’s data, they will. Especially, when governments will pay them for it. They may promise immunity and make excuses to gather information illegally against their own citizens.

    They don’t enforce adequate terms on the ‘problem’ as they overburden you with proof of ID.

    “Illegal aliens and noncitizens are enrolled to vote and they are voting in elections!!”

    … So, why don’t you clean up the motor voter rolls? "Let’s mandate all citizen voters in all of the land prove they are citizens to vote at the polls by demanding the U.S. Senate pass the SAVE Act.”

    NO. I’ll tell you exactly why.

    National Secretaries of State in every U.S. State already have access to a DHS database that crosschecks citizenship of every person in voter rolls, now, today, with consular and State Department documents. We appropriated money for a DHS tool to check for citizenship. People at the elections divisions refuse to use to remove noncitizen voters from the motor voter rolls and the elections rolls.

    If they purged the voter rolls before elections, I would not need to demonstrate ID at the poll, except registration card; which is issued to me by the State for the sole purpose of voting. My drivers license is to operate a motor vehicle. DON’T MAKE IT MY PROBLEM, WHEN YOU CAN FIX THAT WITH LAW AND DOJ ENFORCEMENT.

    NO. No REAL ID. No more redundant, irrelevant useless voter ID mandates.

    NO.
