Speaker 1: Toxic around. This is the seventy seven WABC Mini cast,
Speaker 1: absolutely one of the greatest controlled seeming You know this,
Speaker 1: And there are differences, Don't get me wrong, of course
Speaker 1: there are, but deep down inside, when you keep going
Speaker 1: up and up and up, higher and higher and higher
Speaker 1: around the world, there's only a few people in charge.
Speaker 1: But there's this illusion that there's all this dissension. Not really,
Speaker 1: not really. Oh, there's always a difference. There's always a difference.
Speaker 1: There's more descent between a Mexican restaurant and a Chinese restaurant.
Speaker 1: There's more differences than in anything else. And one of
Speaker 1: the things that we are absolutely woefully so quiet about
Speaker 1: is privacy. Privacy. We don't even know what that means.
Speaker 1: Most of us were raising this notion of what the
Speaker 1: word Orwellian means. Nineteen eighty four, Eric Blair, the Great,
Speaker 1: you know, this notion of being not under the boot heel,
Speaker 1: the jack boot of surveillance. It's just incredible. I thought
Speaker 1: we learned, I thought we learned at Nope, not at all.
Speaker 1: We forgot all about that. It's something which just to
Speaker 1: this day absolutely gets me. Let me give you a
Speaker 1: couple of ideas here. I want you to look around you.
Speaker 1: I want you to really look really pay attention. Okay,
Speaker 1: pay attention. The surveillance state we used to fear in
Speaker 1: science fiction. Okay, it didn't arrive wearing jack boots. It
Speaker 1: arrived wearing ray bands. Oh yeah. Meta glasses, Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: remember they were there was the Google glass and that
Speaker 1: was a flop. Well they're back, but it's different. Meta
Speaker 1: now selling AI power glasses that you can't detect, that
Speaker 1: can photograph and record and listen and analyze what the
Speaker 1: wearer sees. And Meta says that captured videos and photos
Speaker 1: remain private unless unless the user chooses to share them,
Speaker 1: and the glasses contain a recording indicated raw. But the
Speaker 1: technology has already generated disturbing complaints that nobody well people
Speaker 1: are talking about, but not regular area disturbing complaints from
Speaker 1: people who discovered that they had been recorded without their consent.
Speaker 1: Meta's own DIY documentation, by the way, also describes AI's
Speaker 1: features capable of interpreting the world directly through the glasses cameras.
Speaker 1: This is so scary and wait until you see, are
Speaker 1: you people? When you you're going to be seeing signs
Speaker 1: that businesses and in restaurants and in courtrooms, no Mada glasses.
Speaker 1: Take those off, and there's going to be a way
Speaker 1: to hide the light so you won't be able to
Speaker 1: see whether you're recorded. And it's here. And guess what
Speaker 1: I tell this to people, and their reaction is, oh well,
Speaker 1: oh well, what are you gonna do about it? See,
Speaker 1: something happened to us, Something happened even in the days,
Speaker 1: even in the days of Cronkite, you know, talking about
Speaker 1: Big Brother and George Orwell and wiretaps and co intelpro
Speaker 1: and j Edgar Hoover, and it was this, it was
Speaker 1: this sense, this appreciation for it. But now it's it's
Speaker 1: not in our vocabulary. Nobody's talking about it. And let
Speaker 1: me also tell you something. You better believe you're not
Speaker 1: going to hear it on mainstream media, no way. You've
Speaker 1: got you've got news great, you've got news stations and
Speaker 1: news rooms that are about to be shuttered. They don't
Speaker 1: know what to do. And you know, the last thing
Speaker 1: in the world they're gonna want to do is to
Speaker 1: go and tell folks that their overlords, their paymasters, are
Speaker 1: involved in restricting your particular freedoms. You're never going to
Speaker 1: hear this, absolutely, never, never, So that's why the vigilance.
Speaker 1: We have to wake people up again, and you've got
Speaker 1: to remind people of this, and that's why all kinds
Speaker 1: of media. I hate to say this, but what you're
Speaker 1: listening to right now is now alternative media because I
Speaker 1: want to I want to resurgence and what it used
Speaker 1: to be used to be scary, used to be interesting.
Speaker 1: I didn't know that. I want to be mad as hell.
Speaker 1: I want to bring back the spirit of Howard Beale.
Speaker 1: I don't want to sit back and repeat the stuff
Speaker 1: that is like. I don't want to repeat bumper stickers
Speaker 1: and headlines. It's barring. I know that I want to
Speaker 1: make people upset. I want to ask people in the government,
Speaker 1: what are you doing about this? What about my individual
Speaker 1: personal liberty? We're in a surveillance state. I want to
Speaker 1: wake people up, shake them up, and say do something.
Speaker 1: Get off your arse and do something.
