Did you know car ownership, physical cash and credit cards, lack of ubiquitous surveillance, and past American prosperity are all obstacles in the way of our future progress? That if we do not eliminate these obstacles, we will lose our superpower status and risk our very way of life?
What?
Did you know that the Chinese model of Total Government Domination & Control Of The Socio-Political Sphere & Its Discourse (Online & Off) is the most successful -- that, as the Atlantic puts it, one thing we learned from the coronavirus pandemic was that "China was right?"
WHAT?

Techno-Tyranny:
How The US National Security State
Is Using Coronavirus To Fulfill An Orwellian Vision
20 Apr 2020 Posted by Whitney Webb
Last year, a U.S. government body dedicated to examining how artificial intelligence can “address the national security and defense needs of the United States” discussed in detail the “structural” changes that the American economy and society must undergo in order to ensure a technological advantage over China, according to a recent document acquired through a FOIA request.
This document suggests that the U.S. follow China’s lead and even surpass them in many aspects related to AI-driven technologies, particularly their use of mass surveillance. This perspective clearly clashes with the public rhetoric of prominent U.S. government officials and politicians on China, who have labeled the Chinese government’s technology investments and export of its surveillance systems and other technologies as a major “threat” to Americans’ “way of life.”
In addition, many of the steps for the implementation of such a program in the U.S., as laid out in this newly available document, are currently being promoted and implemented as part of the government’s response to the current coronavirus (Covid-19) crisis. This likely due to the fact that many members of this same body have considerable overlap with the taskforces and advisors currently guiding the government’s plans to “re-open the economy” and efforts to use technology to respond to the current crisis.
