UK to Monitor Citizens’ Emotions through CCTV Footage

Your speech and social media usage could land you in jail in the United Kingdom, but now, authorities will be monitoring your emotions. Technology has enabled nations to become increasingly Draconian, with eerily detailed information available to government agencies at all times. Residents around the UK are well aware of the CCTV cameras monitoring their every move. The Home Office would now like to use that footage to monitor civilian behavior and facial expression to identify criminals.

The technology may be employed at known suicide hot spots to identify anyone who may seem distressed. Yet, the example was merely discussed as it is the most palatable. Facial recognition technology will be cross-referenced with mugshots in the national crime database. Everyone is a potential criminal—your face and likeness exist within a government database, and your file is ever-expanding.

Ministers would like police to have full access to citizens’ information, from passports to drivers’ licenses, that will be stored in a centralized database. There’s no need to ask for identification since the authorities will already know who you are before approaching you. These cameras will identify the clothes you wear, hats, bags, accessories, and of course, your vehicles.

Crime and Policing Minister Sarah Jones said, “Confident, safe, and consistent use of facial recognition and similar technologies at significantly greater scale requires a more specific legal framework. This will ensure law enforcement can properly harness the power of this technology whilst maintaining public confidence.” I highly doubt this move will “maintain public confidence,” instead, citizens will undoubtedly know that the government sees them as a potential threat and their guards must be up at all times.

The Association of Police and Crime Commissioners asked for access to doorbell cameras and body cameras when crime scenes are searched, even if that occurs in a private domicile. “’These technologies are increasingly invasive and sophisticated. If they are to gain the trust and support of the public… they require robust and independent assessment prior to deployment, meaningful oversight and accountability to the public when things go wrong,” the agency commented.

There has not been an instance in history when increased government surveillance led to a safer or happier nation. Governments are desperate and see control and confidence fading from their grip. The West will become increasingly Draconian as we move through this private wave because they believe the people are responsible for their crises.

Germany is Officially a Surveillance State – Civil Liberties Destroyed

Germany granted itself legal permission to use AI technology to aggressively monitor the entire population in real-time. The Berlin House of Representatives passed amendments to the General Security and Public Order Act (ASOG) that grants government access to citizens’ personal data by any means necessary, including forcibly entering their private homes.

Interior Senator Iris Spranger (SPD) declared the new laws necessary to fight terrorism in the digital age. German investigators may now legally hack IT systems, but if remote access is unavailable, authorities may “secretly enter and search premises” a suspect’s personal residence to confiscate their digital devices. The government does not need to notify citizens that they are under investigation before entering their homes without warning.

Germany will equip public spaces with advanced surveillance technology. The cell tower query will be expanded to enable the government to access data from all private mobile phones. Network operators must be able to tell the government the movement and location of all citizens. License plate scanners will be installed throughout the nation, and that data will be sent to a centralized database.

Deutschland has finally achieved official “1984” status—the nation is implementing unmanned drones to monitor the population.

All personal data may be used for “training and testing of artificial intelligence systems.” Authorities have free rein to steal data from publicly accessible websites to collect biometric comparisons of faces and voices. The government will implement automated facial recognition software that enables it to identify citizens immediately. The database will tie into the nationwide surveillance platform.

You are being watched. Civil liberties do not exist. Freedom is merely an illusion; your likeness—face, voice, movement, finances, family–exists in an ever-expanding government database that may be used however the government sees fit.

Governments to Begin Collecting DNA at BIRTH

El Salvador passed a law that requires newborns to submit their DNA to a government-wide database. President Nayib Bukele claims genetic verification is necessary to ensure the paternity of the child. “This is not a law against women, but against lies: there will be no more fathers raising children who are not their own,” the president declared. Yet, this initiative has become global. Of course, the majority of governments will not label these initiatives as DNA collection.

England’s NHA will offer whole-genome sequencing to every newborn beginning in 2026. The initiative is part of a 10-year “Generation Study” pilot program that aims to have every baby’s DNA sequenced at birth. The government claims that the data will be used to assess health risks and enable early preventative care.

The NHS will use blood or umbilical cord samples to collect data that will then be handed over to the government’s AI software that identifies disease risk. Everyone’s individual DNA genome will be analyzed and stores by the government. The National Genomic Research Library plans to use this data for future research.

The US conducts a heel prick test at birth as well to test for genetic defects. Parental consent is not required as it is considered standard care. A few states do permit parents to opt-out of this testing on religious grounds. However, the US has not stated that would be compiling a database to store biometric data.

Italy, Spain, Australia, India, Israel, and most developed countries perform some form of blood testing at birth, but that data was never collected and stored by the government until now. Governments will say that advanced technology is allowing scientists to study genetic conditions to ensure the optimal health of the nation. No one agreed to be part of a study or to permit the government to collect their child’s health information. Governments are labeling children as their own from the moment they enter the world. Unique data on every human born within the health care system will be permanently stored and used as governments see fit.
