Fellows, this is worse than we thought.

#Dystopian #corporate #surveillance threats today come at us from all directions. Companies offer "always-on" devices that listen for our voice commands, and marketers follow us around the web to create personalized user profiles so they can (maybe) show us ads we'll actually click. Now #marketers have been experimenting with combining those web-based and audio approaches to #track #consumers in another disturbingly science fictional way: with #audio #signals your phone can hear, but you can't. And though you probably have no idea that #dog #whistle #marketing is going on, researchers are already offering ways to protect yourself.

How to Block the Ultrasonic Signals You Didn't Know Were Tracking You

#Idiocracy - 02/03 is the date it takes place

The plot follows U.S. Army #librarian Joe Bauers, who wakes up five hundred years in the future after a botched government #hibernation experiment to find himself in a #dystopian #society run by #corporations, where #evolution has made #humanity #stupid because the benefits of #technology made it unnecessary for people to be #intelligent
and physically fit to survive

'Straightforward dictatorship': CNN panel thrashes Trump's 'total immunity' claims

After reading Trump's Thursday Truth Social post where he said that he deserved complete immunity even if he "crossed the line" into illegal behavior, host Phil Mattingly suggested that Trump was telegraphing that he was "going to do some criming" if reelected.

He then turned to panelist Errol Louis, who outlined the dark implications of Trump's argument:

"It's a pretty straightforward statement of what dictatorship is, right? he said. "A president -- in his case he is talking about himself -- should be able to, must be able to legally do with legal impunity do whatever it is he or she wants."

The right to protest is under threat in Britain, undermining a pillar of democracy

  • For holding a sign outside a courthouse reminding jurors of their right to acquit defendants, a retiree faces up to two years in prison.
  • For hanging a banner reading “Just Stop Oil” off a bridge, an engineer got a three-year prison sentence.
  • Just for walking slowly down the street, scores of people have been arrested.

They are among hundreds of environmental activists arrested for peaceful demonstrations in the U.K., where tough new laws restrict the right to protest.

'Chilling preview': Ex-FBI official warns MAGA threats against judges are just the start

The Colorado Supreme Court justices who ruled to bump former President Donald Trump from the ballot have already been inundated with violent threats that include the warning “this ends when we kill these f---ers,” and that could spell trouble for the entire nation, a former FBI official warns.

He fears ramping up court security and pursuing legal action against the those issuing threats, "might mean the difference between securing our future as a country of laws and letting it slip away."

During Covid, callous Tories knew this about old people: they’re very expensive

"I doubt many older Tory voters will forget the terminal plans being hatched for them inside No 10, not just by Boris Johnson but also by those around him."

The Tory chief whip, Mark Spencer, allegedly said: “I think we should let the old people get it and protect the others”, to which Johnson replied: “A lot of my backbenchers agree with that, and I must say I agree with them.”

Members of Covid-19 Bereaved Families for Justice say the evidence they are hearing is even worse than they feared.

I saw this. It was the first prophecy I received, and it is the most vile scenario of them all. Those orbs get renamed "brainballs" after a war in which nanobots are released to render all biological material into fuel for war robots in a region, and they begin to reproduce, resulting in a "gray goo" scenario. Only a relative handful of living creatures remain, protected by a daily treatment of pills called "The Quicksilver Cure" after their inventor, who claimed to be the living embodiment of Hermes. The pills are distributed once a day in a group meeting that is a mix of political debate and religious service, and the brainballs are used as prisons for anyone who violates the rules or standards of the commune. Because biological material is scarce, the balls (orbs) swap consciousness with the current body owner, and the entire system is based on something I guess you could call "social credit," which was really just incentivizing people to accuse others of things to stay out of the brainballs.

The removal of our international human right to protest is terrifying

We should all be terrified at the authoritarian removal of our international human right to peaceful protest.

You can now be arrested in the UK, just as in Russia, for merely holding a placard – or even being suspected of even thinking about doing so.

Indeed, earlier this year, 10 Downing street said that the bill would mean that “police will not need to wait for disruption to take place and can shut protests down before chaos erupts.” This, indeed, is vague enough to include everything – and exclude nothing.

Not My King: it’s not a crime to say it

The Tory's Fascist Kingdom has arrived

Protest organisers at King Charles’ coronation have been arrested, and placards confiscated.

The protest was all legal and agreed with the police, but organisers were arrested on their arrival. It is the latest in a series of state over-reaches trying to stop awkward questions about the UK’s new, unelected head of state.

Scotland Yard later said “several” arrests had been made for breach of the peace and conspiracy to cause public disorder.

Originally titled ' #ElectronicLabyrinth ', this #short #film made in #1967 was the depiction behind the later #GeorgeLucas #SF classic, THX 1138 from 1971.

An important piece of cinematic film #history in the genre of #dystopian #science #fiction.

It came out around the same time as Solyent Green (1973) and although they share many similarities, those similarities do seem to predict what we're seeing today. The differences are mostly cinematic plus the storylines, but unlike most of today's SF Hollywood polyfiller which lacks imagination and relies heavily on CGI and past worn-out regurgitated comic Marvel/DC paraphernalia turned franchises etc..
That earlier period of cinema produced much higher quality films without the need for multi-layers of technical wizardry but which more people seem to miss and relate to today.
It's also been compared to Stanley Kubrik's, 'A Clockwork Orange' - another classic social dystiopian film released in 1972 and 'Planet of the Apes' released even earlier in 1968, but that too unfortunately fell victim to the curse of the Hollywood franchise syndrome. Even when we fast forward ~1977 - Capricorn One, Coma, Star Wars, Moonraker and Close Encounters of the Third Kind all carry that theme of how an Evil Empire or the Deep State manipulates, deceives, oppresses and controls humanity...

George Lucas said in one #interview that it was a reflection of oppression and the feeling people generally had around the time of the Vietnam War and the string of assassinations from #JFK, #RFK, #MLK to #MalcolmX...and that feeling was to amplify even further just around the corner.
