Homeland Security Uses AI Tool to Analyze Social Media of U.S. Citizens and Refugees
September 10th, 2023They have an unthinkable surveillance capability that includes all of your email, web, purchasing and telephone activity. And, if I’m right, they’re keeping track of where you are and where you’ve been.

Customs and Border Protection (CBP) is using an invasive, AI-powered monitoring tool to screen travelers, including U.S. citizens, refugees, and people seeking asylum, which can in some cases link their social media posts to their Social Security number and location data, according to an internal CBP document obtained by Motherboard.
The news provides much more detail on how CBP deploys a tool sold widely across the U.S. government. Called Babel X, the system lets a user input a piece of information about a target—their name, email address, or telephone number—and receive a bevy of data in return, according to the document. Results can include their social media posts, linked IP address, employment history, and unique advertising identifiers associated with their mobile phone. The monitoring can apply to U.S. persons, including citizens and permanent residents, as well as refugees and asylum seekers, according to the document.

Towards Digital Tyranny? Beware of the QR Code, Remember Agenda ID2020?

“The time has come to universalize Agenda ID2020 into an all-encompassing, uniform, worldwide digitized platform called “Quick Response”, or QR code. Google calls it a barcode on steroids.
“What is the infamous ID2020? It’s an electronic ID program that uses generalized (Covid) “vaccination” as a platform for digital identity. … The program harnesses existing birth registration and vaccination operations to provide newborns with a portable and persistent biometrically-linked digital identity.
“While the barcode holds information horizontally, the QR code does so both horizontally and vertically. This enables the QR code to hold exponentially more information than a barcode.
“And here lays the danger: the QR code can accommodate literally all the information your life has ever produced or accumulated in a single square code, unreadable to the bare eye. It can be read only electronically by a digitized QR code reader which is set to read only specific data, as required by the authority concerned. Only the QR code central management system can read all the data.”
How to deal with this — have babies at home, no birth certificates and no immunizations? What will happen to them when the authorities discover they have no code (tattoo, implanted chip, whatever)? It’ll be called child abuse, and they’ll be taken from you by the state?
Kevin – I tried to copy a pic of the QR code image and paste it here, but it didn’t work. I didn’t recognize its name but did recognize the pic. Maybe everybody else already knows about this, but it’s news to me. What I don’t know is probably worth several *snorts*.
