License Plate Scanners plus AI Tracking Software equals an all powerful police state plus travel restrictions

License plate scanners have been used by police departments across the United States for more than a decade.  I know the police department in the town I live in uses them constantly.   I here them using them on my police scanner.  They routinely stop a vehicle because the registered owner’s license is suspended, or something similar. 

License plate scanners, on their own, are a grave threat to the right to privacy of each and every American.  They are a gross violation of our most cherished constitutional rights.  Every single American has a God-given Natural Right to move as we wish, completely free of any government snooping or surveillance.  .

Thanks to Artificial Intelligence, this gross violation of privacy has become much worse, as you can see from this Breitbart article: Breitbart – Police Use AI-Powered License Plate Recognition to Track ‘Suspicious’ Travel Patterns

American law enforcement are now using AI-powered license plate recognition systems to identify “suspicious” patterns of movement by analyzing billions of license plate records. However, this new technology raises significant concerns about privacy and potential misuse.

Forbes reports that by examining billions of license plate records, AI is now assisting American law enforcement in locating “suspicious” movement patterns. This new technology raises serious concerns about privacy and potential abuse. 

When you combine the gross violation of license plate scanners and AI with this article, Breitbart – Climate of Fear: U.N. Chief Guterres Warns ‘Era of Global Boiling’ Is Here, all of the recent hysteria over the supposed hottest temperatures ever becomes more ominous.

Be afraid. Be very, very afraid. United Nations chief Antonio Guterres on Thursday night rolled out some of his most apocalyptic climate rhetoric to date declaring “the era of global warming has ended, the era of global boiling has arrived.”

He went on to lament how “terrifying” it is seeing children “swept away by monsoon rains, families running from the flames, workers collapsing in scorching heat.”  He said “short of a mini ice age” over coming days, some scientists estimate July 2023 would shatter records across the board.

Could it be possible that license plate scanners and AI could be used to curtail the movement of Americans to fight a made up dire climate change emergency?  Absolutely.  The hysteria over climate change is already beig used to curtail air travel in a very back handed manner: In the Name of Climate Change: Travel Restrictions and the Great Reset – American Thinker

In 2022, the 193-member nation International Civil Aviation Organizations (ICAO), a U.N.  agency, agreed to a goal of net-zero emissions by 2050.  Ironically, the call to reduce the use of aviation fuel is accompanied by a boom in private air travel, as airline travel becomes more difficult.  Private jets constitute 25% of U.S.  flights and increased by 17% in the first half of 2022.  Clearly, despite purported concerns about greenhouse gas emissions, the Great Reset does not restrict travel for the elite.  The agenda obviously has more to do with politics and control than science.

This year, summer air travel was subjected to massive delays.  More than 11,000 flights were delayed or cancelled on June 25; some 8,000 on June 26; and there were 35,000 flight delays and 7,000 cancellations on July 4.  Candid airline employees confessed this had nothing to do with the weather, and that pilot and ATC understaffing was responsible for the chaos.  In late June, I found myself stuck in New York for three days with no available flight options to the West Coast.  I was also trapped in Reykjavik for four nights because of the cancellation of flights to Ilulissat, Greenland.  An Icelandair captain revealed the reason: a tower at an adjacent airport, required for potential flight diversions, was unmanned because of an ATC shortage.

Sorry Facebook Fact Checkers – The Great Reset is not a conspiracy theory

Just yesterday I got hit with another of those fraudulent fact checks that Facebook loves to hurl around whenever a conservative or libertarian posts the actual truth.  I generally rack up several a week, which then earnes me more lengthy stays in Facebook jail.  Like all of their phony fact checks, this one included an article by a supposedly independent news organization.  In this case, the article was from the uber progressive PolitiFact.

A Facebook post says the Great Reset advocates replacing capitalism with an economic system that is “kind of socialism, kind of communism” but “mostly just fascism.”

The World Economic Forum never advocated for the creation of a totalitarian world government or the replacement of capitalism with another economic system. There is no evidence to support this theory, and it has been thoroughly debunked. 

To debunk Facebook’s sham fact check, I went straight to the Great Reset page on the World Economic Forum website.

To achieve a better outcome, the world must act jointly and swiftly to revamp all aspects of our societies and economies, from education to social contracts and working conditions. Every country, from the United States to China, must participate, and every industry, from oil and gas to tech, must be transformed. In short, we need a “Great Reset” of capitalism.

That paragraph rather ominously sounds like the WEF is working hard transform the world into a Socialist economy.

The World Economic Forum most definitely embraces the philosophy of Rahm Emanuel who said:

You never let a serious crisis go to waste. And what I mean by that it’s an opportunity to do things you think you could not do before.

Here is the WEF’s justification for the Great Reset.

All of this will exacerbate the climate and social crises that were already underway. Some countries have already used the COVID-19 crisis as an excuse to weaken environmental protections and enforcement. And frustrations over social ills like rising inequality – US billionaires’ combined wealth has increased during the crisis – are intensifying.

Left unaddressed, these crises, together with COVID-19, will deepen and leave the world even less sustainable, less equal, and more fragile. Incremental measures and ad hoc fixes will not suffice to prevent this scenario. We must build entirely new foundations for our economic and social systems.

The level of cooperation and ambition this implies is unprecedented. But it is not some impossible dream. In fact, one silver lining of the pandemic is that it has shown how quickly we can make radical changes to our lifestyles. Almost instantly, the crisis forced businesses and individuals to abandon practices long claimed to be essential, from frequent air travel to working in an office.

As far as the totalitarian part, check out these paragraphs:

Clearly, the will to build a better society does exist. We must use it to secure the Great Reset that we so badly need. That will require stronger and more effective governments, though this does not imply an ideological push for bigger ones. And it will demand private-sector engagement every step of the way.

Moreover, governments should implement long-overdue reforms that promote more equitable outcomes. Depending on the country, these may include changes to wealth taxes, the withdrawal of fossil-fuel subsidies, and new rules governing intellectual property, trade, and competition.

The only way a government can implement equitable outcomes is through a totalitarian government.  Wealth must be forcibly seized from one group and given to another.  The WEF also seeks to implement the Green New Deal on a global scale.

The second component of a Great Reset agenda would ensure that investments advance shared goals, such as equality and sustainability. Here, the large-scale spending programs that many governments are implementing represent a major opportunity for progress.  The European Commission, for one, has unveiled plans for a €750 billion ($826 billion) recovery fund. The US, China, and Japan also have ambitious economic-stimulus plans.

Rather than using these funds, as well as investments from private entities and pension funds, to fill cracks in the old system, we should use them to create a new one that is more resilient, equitable, and sustainable in the long run. This means, for example, building “green” urban infrastructure and creating incentives for industries to improve their track record on environmental, social, and governance (ESG) metrics.

Like all Leftist economic schemes, the Great Reset will rely heavily on socialism and totalitarianism.

What do the gas crisis, the COVID crisis, supply chain crisis, and Ukraine crisis have in common?

For the past two years the world has experienced an astounding number of crises and catastrophes.  Just in the past few months the number of calamities we are facing has escalated sharply.  By all appearances, it seems as if some group of individuals is orchestrating some of these crises, ramping up others, and taking advantage of all of them for some nefarious purpose.  The group is the World Economic Forum and the nefarious purpose is The Great Reset.

The World Economic Forum is a Marxist international non-government organization of extremely wealthy individuals who lobby world governments to bring about a socialist one world government.  This organization meets in Davos Switzerland.

For decades the World Economic Forum has been looking for the perfect opportunity to implement their grand scheme.  Because their plans were such a radical departure from the way the world worked, they would need a chaotic period of time to implement them.  The COVID Pandemic offered the perfect crisis, which they milked to the extreme with their lockdowns and mandates while ratcheting the fear and panic to an extreme.

All quotes are from the World Economic Forum’s Website where they openly discuss the Great Reset.

The Covid-19 crisis, and the political, economic and social disruptions it has caused, is fundamentally changing the traditional context for decision-making. The inconsistencies, inadequacies and contradictions of multiple systems –from health and financial to energy and education – are more exposed than ever amidst a global context of concern for lives, livelihoods and the planet. Leaders find themselves at a historic crossroads, managing short-term pressures against medium- and long-term uncertainties.

As we enter a unique window of opportunity to shape the recovery, this initiative will offer insights to help inform all those determining the future state of global relations, the direction of national economies, the priorities of societies, the nature of business models and the management of a global commons. Drawing from the vision and vast expertise of the leaders engaged across the Forum’s communities, the Great Reset initiative has a set of dimensions to build a new social contract that honours the dignity of every human being.

Here is a detailed outline of the Great Reset.

The Great Reset agenda would have three main components. The first would steer the market toward fairer outcomes. To this end, governments should improve coordination (for example, in tax, regulatory, and fiscal policy), upgrade trade arrangements, and create the conditions for a “stakeholder economy.” At a time of diminishing tax bases and soaring public debt, governments have a powerful incentive to pursue such action.

Moreover, governments should implement long-overdue reforms that promote more equitable outcomes. Depending on the country, these may include changes to wealth taxes, the withdrawal of fossil-fuel subsidies, and new rules governing intellectual property, trade, and competition.

The second component of a Great Reset agenda would ensure that investments advance shared goals, such as equality and sustainability. Here, the large-scale spending programs that many governments are implementing represent a major opportunity for progress. The European Commission, for one, has unveiled plans for a €750 billion ($826 billion) recovery fund. The US, China, and Japan also have ambitious economic-stimulus plans.

Rather than using these funds, as well as investments from private entities and pension funds, to fill cracks in the old system, we should use them to create a new one that is more resilient, equitable, and sustainable in the long run. This means, for example, building “green” urban infrastructure and creating incentives for industries to improve their track record on environmental, social, and governance (ESG) metrics.

The third and final priority of a Great Reset agenda is to harness the innovations of the Fourth Industrial Revolution to support the public good, especially by addressing health and social challenges. During the COVID-19 crisis, companies, universities, and others have joined forces to develop diagnostics, therapeutics, and possible vaccines; establish testing centers; create mechanisms for tracing infections; and deliver telemedicine. Imagine what could be possible if similar concerted efforts were made in every sector.

As you can see from their own website, the Great Reset is a complete transformation of the world into a Marxist One World Governent ruled by a small corrupt cabal of power hungry tyrants who believe they alone are smart enough to make any sort of decisions.

The more worldwide chaos the easier it would be for The Great Reset to be imposed on all of us against our will.  That is why the world is facing so many crises right now.  Progressives are unleashing so many crises here in the Unites States to crash this nation and reboot it as a socialist democracy and integrate it into the One World Government they are trying to create. Both Democrats and establishment Republicans here in The United States are part of this conspiracy.
