Message: <blockquote data-quote="scolairebocht" data-source="post: 147543" data-attributes="member: 8">The Obvious SurveillanceFirstly what they are doing is taking data from internet and telephone companies and banks and state agencies, combining it and getting their data from this combination. In practice the security agencies will then be able to use that data to build up computer databases of voice and facial recognition, even if officially these databases are not permitted by law in the various countries, the computer AI systems will just be compiling this automatically. I will try and explain this by a practical example.At a protest, say, the security agencies will gather data on various phones that are used at the protest, somewhat obviously, and usually that will tell them who it is, their banking arrangements (used to pay their phone bills obviously), and their voice prints (because you probably record a voice message on your phone and that will be you and obviously these agencies will get that data too). But the great power of this data is when it is combined, so they go through the banking data on that person and they will get video from when the person uses an ATM machine (your interactions there are normally recorded on video), hence voila they now have a facial print of you to go along with the voiceprint. Then all the places you use a credit card can be combined with the data from the phone masts and they will instantly have a per second map of everywhere you have been for the last few years.In any case there is probably no need to go through all these new sources of digital data, because it might be obvious to most people and anybody can see that the powers that be are deliberately seeking information from people that will then be used by these AI systems, when the information they gather would not be needed for any other reason. For example, a simple case is car parking. Since time immemorial there are countless simple ways of paying for parking, that don’t have to involve complicated surveillance systems, but now many areas, like UCD and soon Blanchardstown Shopping Centre, are implementing parking so that it is only available if you input your car registration number and that is then read as you enter and leave.You can see this deliberate drift of acquiring information for these databases, everywhere if you pause to think about it. For example when Ireland joined the Common Market one of the claimed benefits was supposed to be agriculture and so that Union boosted farming incomes by the simple and inexpensive method of acting as a buyer of last resort in the markets of agricultural produce. But then they changed from that to direct payments (about €12,000 per farm), which are only paid to farmers after they submit huge agricultural plans, detailing everything about their farms to the EU authorities. Then these plans are monitored by satellites which minutely photograph every inch of the farms and match that to the details in the plans. At first these satellites monitored the farms every year or so, but now its weekly.(5) Another simple example could be house letting and renting. We have laws here that have stood the test of many centuries, until they were overturned by our new Communist style system of state control in the person of the Residential Tenancies Board. Now every minute detail of all properties, who lives in them and every dispute in microscopic detail is recorded on their databases and you can be sure is used now for these controlling AI systems. A further simple example could be the Irish courts system. In this country it can be quite expensive to get transcripts of court proceedings, if they were indeed so recorded, but you needn’t think that this is a bar to these databases and the international intelligence agencies behind them. Nowadays all Irish courts are monitored by what they call the DAR (Digital Audio Recording) system, which records everything that goes on there. These recordings are unavailable to the ordinary Irish person but you can be sure not so in the case of the security apparatus here, and hence will be added to these giant databases.Another obvious one is the urban camera surveillance systems installed about a decade ago all over Ireland. Monitored by the Gardaí and hence fed to international intelligence agencies, you can add them alongwith the high quality cameras installed on all Irish public buses. In fact many businesses, and even Churches and other semi public places, are effectively compelled (sometimes they say because of planning regulations, sometimes because of  insurance company requirements) to install camera systems which, in all cases you can be absolutely sure, will be combined into these real time AI databases. Finally notice the recent adoption in this country of postcodes called Eircode, which track people’s apartments etc, very exactly. We are told, through constant TV and other advertisements, that these were adopted and should be used constantly, because emergency services need them, e.g. ambulances. But actually it transpired recently that that was all a lie, the Irish ambulance service doesn’t use Eircodes.(6) But of course its of great help for these database systems, integrating onto peoples personal files whatever can be gleaned of their personal mail and parcels, some of which at least, go through airport style X-ray systems and therefore can be somewhat read. At the time of Brexit the postal authorities introduced incredibly onerous new regulations on parcels sent into Ireland, from the UK at least, including compulsory electronic registration of the address of the parcel before it can be accepted into Ireland. (Some people who just manually wrote an address on a small parcel to be sent into Ireland from the UK ended up with it being returned or in some cases just lost, they all have to go through this electronic bureaucracy now.) Its not rocket science to see how this is been integrated into these data centres, and the Eircode was adopted to facilitate that.</blockquote>
