Thank you for this insightful review! It reminds me again of my University days and stumbling into its early beginnings.
In terms of selling products, services and perceptions, I've been aware of commercial efforts for a long time. I've reflected on whether allowing access to my psyche, so to speak, was a fair trade-off for the service I am being offered (for free or at low cost).
In particular, I have been advised by the selling people that I dont think like others. I've never belonged to Facebook or Google social offerings. I use Gettr to follow persons whose views I'm interested in. My sources of others' perspectives are largely reading articles and comments re topics of interest.
So, re surveillance capitalism. It seems to me we have been/ are programmed to gobble up tasty freebies without a thought as to any ramifications. Thus, step one, as you illustrate here, is to provide awareness. Once in a while, I've reflected on whether trade-offs like these are worth my cooperation. So next, every person reflects on such issues.
We seem to go through life blithely focusing on ourselves and our wants. We believe, trust and expect a supportive environment. Lately we have been learning those expectations are not being realised. Thank heavens for the Paul Revere's (R & JM's) bringing it to our attention. In hopes we will further carry and share the concerns and need to deal with them with others.
Profiling consumer likes on a one to one basis is the goal to control purchasing decisions. Applying this to voting is a given. Deciding what should be read is being taken out of the hands of the individual!
Speak of strange coincidence! Your report hit my email inbox just as I was going to open a report in the Sunday Telegraph, headlined: "How the rise of ‘surveillance pricing’ is hitting shoppers at the checkout - Companies are using AI to harvest vast amounts of data from consumers’ online footprint" - paywalled link: https://www.telegraph.co.uk/business/2024/07/27/expose-hidden-middle-men-forcing-you-pay-higher-prices/
Thanks - now I'll read yours first before reading the one in the Sunday paper ...
An excellent piece of analysis and writing. Especially with the reference material. We have morphed into this environment unsuspecting from the Madison Ave advertising drive for information extracted from sales data and Nielsen ratings to instant extraction of key data from social postings. This has evolved to a partnership between large corp interests and government with the goal of driving outcomes for profit. It is all about profit and power to drive profit from every possible corner of human interaction. We would do ourselves a great favor by returning to cash transactions which insure privacy of individual behavior rather than using cards which are the gateway for every privacy intrusion and online purchasing. It seems an impossible task, The convenience and cost effectiveness of technology has made data mining a vast endeavor to generate evermore profit that is very difficult to eliminate from one's life. No law can put this back in the bottle. We need to truly rethink and self-educate users. It must be bottom up. No top-down solution which inevitably becomes dominated by those seeking power is possible in my opinion. It has to be up to individuals not giving away their information for free which is turned against them by institutions wanting to be paid evermore from one's income.
Yup....Plus a tad concerned about the DJT advocation of the Bitcoin World in the USA.
One step closer to dislodging the current USD/FED Product system and Global reserve currency hierarchy. Once it's all digital, the Data mining floods rampant on each of us.
A mega power grid collapse, surely keeps it's foot in the doors of possible scenarios.
Goals of the Gov/Corp are to corrupt the status quo. Which the USG did by seeded $ to individuals to build its user-friendly mechanisms of control ending in a cashless society that data-mines all transactions including individual thoughts, reflections, beliefs and understandings. The list is lengthy starting with PayPal, EBay, Amazon, YouTube and every other internet-based avenue, even SubStack. Using the plandemic, local businesses were forced out of operation and most national outlets are closing their stores. Products made overseas are given brand names and sold directly from Amazon removing any possibility of creating manufacturing here for local distribution. We are already living in the New World Order. There are just a few tidying up actions left like CBDC and the installation of KH.
I disagree. I see a major self-education in process from people like Robert Malone, his readers and Elizabeth Nickson, AlilyBit and many others, each of whom has a following with a wide reach. This is not top-down but bottom-up based on individual awakening. This is the only route to returning authority back to individual choices. As the Internet helped to organize the top-down control groups so it has let many individuals to emerge with the thinking to awaken the rest. We are early in the process of taking back personal decision making, but the momentum is in that direction. Good to see and I do not believe it wlll stop. All it needs is that truth be told and that it must be accessible to all who wish to hear it. I see this working,
Knowing that election results are not in the hands of the voters it will take an overwhelming, almost unthinkable amount of votes to keep the Dems out of power in the WH and Congress.
Keep your positive attitude and spread the truth. I am old and will not be around to see the results after tens of millions are finally shook awake to fight back and not in a FEMA camp instead.
It does seem like an impossible task. If we have some cataclysmic event that shuts down the global power grids, we may learn then. Otherwise, I can't see things changing.
I agree with you. I don't think many people are willing to give up their devices at this point, but I sometimes get an urge to dig a deep hole, fill it with water, and throw all my devices in it! Lol! Seriously, I do think a cataclysmic event that shuts down the power grids may be be the only way. Having to start all over again from scratch might not be as bad as we think.
Technology in itself is not a bad thing, and can be used for good, but it's gotten into the wrong hands. I use cash whenever I can. Go to: keepcashalive.com for info on ways to do that and spread the word to others. You can print out pages of the message: "I paid cash today for a reason" which lists the reasons, cut them into wallet sizes and hand them out with your cash payments. I do that, and I get a lot of positive reactions!
It’s very overwhelming for me to understand and think of the implications of my life being monitored through my phone and computer in a way that companies can then manipulate my life, because I believe this is what the they are doing. My fear quickly turns to a fascistic surveillance which is how the government takes this surveillance information and models laws and its justice system to go after people like me. This we may think of as fascist surveillance done through these huge companies. I realize this is already happening and our politicians are much too greedy taking the data dollars to ever create laws that would actually stop the surveillance of us. So for me a person that doesn’t really use face book and needs to divorce myself from google what can we do?
In the ancient times when you subscribed to a magazine, the magazine rented your name to a manufacturer, who then mailed you a brochure on a product related to your interest. You never consented or likely made the connection. Today it's the same, only with digital ads.
While I’m a fan of Dr. Malone’s scientific achievements and his fight against both the government/ biopharma complex and the Intel/ Big Tech surveillance complex, the proposed remedy of more regulation is foredoomed to fail. Because Big Capital has captured Big Brother, lobbyists control and corrupt regulation to form a moat that shields Big Capital from competition arising from enterprising small startups who offer more value to consumers. We are indoctrinated to believe that Big Brother shields us from Big Capital, when it reality, Big Brother is their Big Stick. The only real solution is cut Big Brother down to size via radical decentralization.
Careful about making assumptions. You know the saying about the word assume? I think you may find we are more aligned than you apparently imagine. Regular reading of these essays and the new book might help dispel your misunderstandings. I will also be speaking at the upcoming Mises university meetings.
Radical decentralization will not protect us from this invasion for our data any more than decentralization will protect us from an attack from, say, China. We need a Congress that legislates in our interests and a government who enforces those laws. Unfortunately, we have the opposite of that. Decades ago, snail mail was considered private and it was highly illegal invade that privacy (without warrant). But none of those protections were transferred by Congress to email and over the years, snail mail privacy became equivalent to email privacy. Meaning, there is none. Even health data, which decades ago was decentralized and highly private seems to be no longer ours to own. In fact, now doctors seem to be under regulations to put everything on computer systems.
We need people to believe in and honor their oaths of office. Until there are consequences for not doing so, people who would do away with the US will have the advantage. As much as I love decentralization, and see it as the answer to many problems, until we get a Congress that nullifies things like the PREP Act and upholds our right to privacy, we’re not in a good place. I just read that all 50 states have FEMA camps that are reportedly empty and that one in Alaska can hold millions of people. We seem to be way behind in the fight for the future.
I do not put my trust in Congress - I thought my comment made that clear. But I believe Congress could fix this if they faced consequences for their nefarious actions. Not only is there no penalty for ignoring the Constitution, many frame themselves as activists to change it which takes from us the process of amending it and reserves the power for themselves.
So you don’t trust Congress, but rather than strip power from them via radical decentralization, you hope that they come to their senses and fix the problems they created?
If I am talking to a friend about a topic my email and Facebook pages start advertising some products pertaining to that conversation. It is really disturbing. The fact that J6 people were rounded up because their phone locations were monitored. Big brother’s always watching. AI is really disturbing.
Fascinating! I am persuaded. Free market capitalism's use of "free" data has been used by the tech giants to hijack our freedom and our privacy, and influence our behavior. It has placed enormous power in these giants' hands, and in the hands of their "uni-party" governmental co-conspirators. This is what Eisenhower's "military industrial complex" of the 1950's has become. Thank you for laying this out and enlightening me.
The data gathering is justified as an in masse effort where personal identities remain anonymous. It is the anonymity that is B.S.. The sophistication and abundance of today's server farms can track and store every "0" and "1" of code in all communication. I have an age related so what attitude, but for younger generations this is scary at best. They are the zenith of profiling. Data on their every post and purchase ultimately bears their entire personal lives available for sale. It starts with the sale of goods and services and morphs into influencing, coercion and extortion.
I find this not so surprising for several reasons. First, sometime ago it seemed to me that it was very likely the sharpest knives out there may well be writers of advertising so the likelihood of them using digital intrusion was inevitable. That they are purveyors of dirty tricks also nothing new. Dorothy Sayers's 1930s novel Murder Must Advertise went into this way back then. It has always been virtually the sole responsibility of the consumer to validate adverts hence the aphorism...let the buyer beware. Sad to say, our digital footprint will make this harder.
Fascinating subject and much to complicated for my simple mind.
It's clear this model produces rewards for those using it. Once it becomes a ubiquitous commodity it will slowly turn on entities that partake in its benefits. Those entities will be the new subjects of its inquiring mind and it will end with the ultimate dictator who will eventually fail to sustain. as this model will collide with human nature in the end.
Dr Malone, Steve Kirsch is having some serious problems with his eye / blood clot and has 5 days left before he loses his sight. I want to send him some information on DMSO that could help him get rid of the clot but I do not have his direct email. In the event you have is direct contact email or telephone number please pass to me or pass mine to him so I can get this information to him as soon as.

"In many cases, surveillance capitalism merges with PsyWar tools and technologies to power the modern surveillance state, giving rise to a new form of Fascism (public-private partnerships) known as techno-totalitarianism. Leading corporations employing the surveillance capitalism business model include Google, Amazon and Facebook. Surveillance capitalism has now fused with the science and theory of psychology, marketing, and algorithmic manipulation of online information to give rise to propaganda and censorship capabilities that go far beyond those imagined by the twentieth-century predictions of Aldous Huxley and George Orwell."
Spot on. Social media = Big Brother PLUS total 24/7 surveillance and propaganda. This must be changed if we are to survive as a free Republic.
Bill Cooper talked about this in his book, "Behold A Pale Horse." He also was in Navy Intell in the 60s and they (the military) were doing this then - i.e., figuring out what people would do if and when each variable was manipulated however they chose. Not a new phenomenon, but certainly much easier now with this advanced tech. The answer is to unplug. Well, part of the answer, anyway.
Google censoring searches about Trump Assassination attempt...
Google appears to be actively censoring search queries on the attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump.
Users reported that Google’s autocomplete search results for “Assassination attempt on tr” finishes with “assassination attempt on Truman” and other topics unrelated to Trump’s assassination attempt.
"Google has hidden autocomplete suggestions related to the assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump. By removing autocomplete suggestions, the Masters of the World are trying to make it more difficult for users to access information about the attempt on Trump’s life. This is just the latest act of election interference by the internet giant."
Breitbart News tested Google’s search bar on Sunday, finding that typing in the words “assassination attempt” resulted in autocomplete suggestions of “truman,” “reagan,” “fidel castro,” “slovakia,” “bob marley,” “lenin,” “gerald ford,” “teddy roosevelt,” “saudi arabia,” “john paul ii,” and “franklin roosevelt.”
Like those cute little surveys I get from my insurance provider that I never send back and then they contact me again requesting the info. All for my health benefit, so they better know how to serve me! And the little warning at the beginning of me trying to contact a phone company stating that I need to request privacy of the material they glean. Never a word said after that from anyone. Etc. Etc. Etc.

I am looking at getting a degoogled phone at abovephone.com.
Degoogled phones are a great idea. We use a Google Pixel 7 that runs CalyXOS. Very happy with it so far.
The deep state has the problem of filtering thru the ocean of data that comes in every minute. They are drowning in volumes of data.

thank you for sharing this.
I've heard a lot about satellite phones. I might be looking into that.
Hey James, can you see this reply, let me know. Testing.
Yes I got it Pat👍
thanks, I had no nibble for days, and wondered if I was losing it or shadow banned,
losing it, it is.
Oooh, oooh, I am pretty sure I have shingles in my right eye (am getting treatment for that) and had to make a new joke.
You know how a few moms will have a chicken pox party because they have delusions about chickenpox??
Well, why did the dad have a chicken pox party??
He was hoping his old roof would catch shingles.
Best I can do this week.
Well I hope you’re all set!!!
