Technology and a tyranny worse than prison

March 28, 2023 -

(Article by Bert Olivier republished from Brownstone.org)

Significantly, at the time she reminded readers that Orwell’s goal with 1984 was to alert British and American societies that democracy is not immune to totalitarianism, and that “Totalitarianism, if not fought against, could triumph anywhere” (Orwell, quoted by Zuboff, p. 16). In other words, people are utterly wrong in their belief that totalitarian control of their actions through mass surveillance (as depicted ...

5 Hidden ancient civilizations discovered by laser technology

January 12, 2023 -

This laser technology, called light detection and ranging (LiDAR), employs planes or drones to beam thousands of laser pulses from the sky to the ground below. These pulses penetrate through the thick, deep forest covering – which researchers then use to generate three-dimensional maps beneath the vegetation that reveal human-built structures.

Here are five early civilizations whose ruins in Latin America were found using advanced LiDAR technology.Secret 2,000-year-old ...

WEF speaker touts technology allowing companies to monitor employees’ brains

January 23, 2023 -

Legal ethicist Nita Farahany of Duke University's School of Law remarked that wearable mind-reading devices are no figment of the future during her Jan. 19 talk titled "Ready for Brain Transparency" in Davos. She described these devices as akin to "Fitbits for the brain," similar to Neuralink implants conceptualized by Tesla and Twitter CEO Elon Musk.

The Iranian-American scholar proceeded to elaborate on what these devices look like. She told the audience: "These are ...

6G wireless technology could tap humans as a power source

January 19, 2023 -

In particular, 6G could exploit Visible Light Communication (VLC), a wireless version of fiber optics that uses extremely thin glass or plastic strands to transmit information on flashes of light.

The researchers have already devised a low-cost and novel way of harvesting and recycling waste energy from VLC – using the human body as an antenna. (Related: Forget 5G, Apple is now looking for engineers to work on 6G.)

"VLC is quite simple and interesting. Instead ...

BIPARTISAN TREASON: Obama, Clinton, and Bush partner with American Express to fly illegal aliens into American communities

April 23, 2023 -

With the help of fake president Joe Biden and his illicit regime, the three former presidents, via their NGO, initially resettled some 85,000 Afghans across the United States both in 2021 and 2022. Their goal for 2023 and beyond is to bring in a whole lot more than that until every last crevice of the country is occupied by "migrants."

For the Afghan portion of its operation alone, Welcome.US helped fly nearly 20,000 Afghans to American communities. The millions of dollars ...

March 14, 2023 -

"Big Tech was not using only their technology, but [also] their leverage over our perception and our everyday lives," he told New American Senior Editor Veronika Kyrylenko during the 2023 Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC).

"It became evident that the conservatives, the Christians, those that don't fit inside the less ideological box. It became obvious that we didn't have our own infrastructure."

Archaeologists discover ruins of Mayan civilization in Guatemala using LiDAR technology

January 11, 2023 -

The long-lost urban jungle was composed of almost 1,000 settlements spread out across 650 square miles. The settlements, connected by a vast causeway system, were mapped out using airborne light detection and ranging (LiDAR) technology. LiDAR works by bouncing lasers off of surfaces to create detailed maps that are based on the time it takes for the pulses to return to a receiver.

According to a study published Dec. 5 in Cambridge Core, the archaeologists' findings "unveiled ...

Chinese military says it just achieved “huge breakthrough” in laser weapon technology

a month ago -

Experts from the National University of Defence Technology, located in China's Hunan province, say the new cooling system for high-energy lasers eliminates all of the harmful heat that is otherwise generated during their use. Too much heat continues to be a major challenge in laser weapon development all around the world.

Thanks to the new technology, the People's Liberation Army (PLA) will have the ability to blast laser beams for as long as needed, without any interruption ...

Lithium batteries used in EVs and other “green” technology are anything but clean

October 24, 2022 -

The issue rarely gets attention because devices that use batteries, we are told, are "cleaner" than those that use gasoline or diesel because they do not emit visible pollution during use. What the greenies never seem to talk about, though, is what it takes to produce "emission-free" batteries in the first place.

It turns out that the mining and processing of just one ton of lithium consumes an astounding eight million liters, or 500,000 gallons, of water. Ironically ...

Study: All-cause mortality rapidly increasing for American children

March 21, 2023 -

The all-cause mortality rate for children ages 1 to 19 years increased by 10.7% between 2019 and 2020. The trend continued from 2020 to 2021, increasing by an additional 8.3%. The researchers found that the increases in childhood mortality were only minimally related to covid-19. Fatal injuries such as drug overdoses, alcohol poisoning, suicide, homicide, and vehicle accidents drove the spike in mortality.

“In 2020, the COVID-19 mortality rate at ages 1 to 19 years was ...
