Growing The Surveillance State: Drones, Facial Recognition, AI Enlisted To Fight Crime But At What Cost?

(Truth UnmutedBig Brother is at it again. With rising crime as the backdrop, New York City Mayor Eric Adams is growing the surveillance state with a plan to use drones to fight crime in Central Park. Sadly, neither rising crime or increasing surveillance are unique to NYC, as both are becoming global trends indicative of a much greater agenda.

Gone are the days when “Robocop” and “Skynet” were just dystopian ideas for Hollywood blockbusters. The dark, distant future those films portrayed is now a present reality. In classic problem-reaction-solution fashion, NYC Mayor Eric Adams and the NYPD are preparing to deploy surveillance drones to stop lawlessness in Central Park.

According to the New York Post, the drones could be patrolling the skies very soon:

Central Park frolickers could soon find themselves under Big Brother surveillance from NYPD drones flying above them, as the iconic green space struggles with a whopping crime increase.

Tech-loving Mayor Eric Adams on Tuesday floated the notion and also using nebulous other “new technology” to deal with a worrisome surge in sex crimesassaults and robberies in Central Park — including an incident involving three teenage muggers targeting a trio of park-goers that very morning.

Peace and Safety – But at What Cost?

The goal of authoritarian technocrats is to employ technology to control every aspect of society from dispensing justice to collecting garbage. When a crisis develops, such as an increase in violent crime, they rush in with a pre-planned solution to increase surveillance under the guise of protecting the innocent. However, the ultimate goal is to erect a pervasive surveillance system capable of monitoring human actions and interactions at all times.

When considering why footage of violent and bizarre crime is so prevalent on social and traditional media, one reason may be to provoke the population to demand a solution. Growing outrage over injustice might be the perfect catalyst to achieve a pre-determined outcome. If people respond positively to openly being spied on, the technocratic psyop gains steam and becomes a rousing success. Weary of being preyed upon by people with bad intentions, many in NYC are taking the bait and praising the mayor’s proposals.

In New York, drone surveillance may begin in Central Park but if left unchecked, it will eventually engulf the whole Big Apple. As more cities implement similar policies and deploy comparable technologies, mass surveillance threatens to spread throughout the entire country. While everyone is preoccupied with the latest “thing” on social media, the surveillance state is advancing largely unopposed.

Confirming the spread of Big Brother tech, Biometric Update recently reported that police departments countrywide are launching drone surveillance programs:

Police across the U.S. are putting eyes in the sky, as the adoption of drones for law enforcement emerges as a trend…

In short, U.S. police now have the ability to patrol lower airspace with drones that are ready to host facial recognition cameras and software, and some have laws that allow the two technologies to be used together. Like drones, facial recognition for law enforcement is seeing increasing uptake.

In the following interview, Adams discusses the problems with allowing (largely) unvetted illegal immigrants to enter the country and later be transported to New York and other cities where crime is increasing and tensions are rising.

Could the country’s failed immigration policy be part of a broader plan to get legal citizens to accept greater surveillance measures for the entire population as part of the solution? The constant fearmongering of repeated terror attacks worked to increase domestic spying after 9/11, so why not repeat the same strategy with threats of immigrant violence?
