Despite appearances, the “smart” society was never based on saving energy, saving money or saving the environment.
The real aim has been to control the population and conduct absolute surveillance on the larger herd and even every individual.
Thanks to smart phones, smart meters, smart
grids, smart TVs, smart cars and smart appliances, the places you go,
the people you contact and all the things you interact with are logged,
tracked and analyzed by advanced computer algorithms. Thanks to search
engines, the technocrats even believe they known what you’re thinking
and what you’ll do next.
Now, the “smart” street lights that record
conversations and broadcast government propaganda are actually being
rolled out on city streets across the America.
The latest is in Jacksonville, Florida.
From the Business Journals:
Through a pilot program with GE Lighting, JEA
and the city, Downtown and surrounding neighborhoods will be outfitted
with about 50 data-collecting LED streetlights, as part of the GE
Intelligent City Initiative, announced Thursday morning.
As the first city on the East Coast to have this
technology — and the second in the world, behind San Diego — the move
is an opportunity for Jacksonville to become a cutting-edge city, said
Mayor Alvin Brown.
The lights — which will come at no cost to
taxpayers during the pilot program — will be interconnected with one
another and will collect real-time data, as seen in a presentation by
GE.
[…] GE’s Predix software will then analyze the data so the city can use it.
Check out this promo video for “Intellistreets,”
the makers of one of the leading smart street lights. While it has a
few interesting features, the creepy factor is clear enough by the end
of the video.
Admittedly, the lights carry two-way
communication, acting as a watcher and spy of passersby, while carrying
“official” messages. The system is designed to work with supervision by
Homeland Security, and may have terrorism applications.
