"to ensure freedom of movement" -- Bwahahahaha, if this is not some of the most Orwellian shit yet from a deeply Orwellian moment in time! "We surround innocent folks trying to move freely between spaces, monitoring and managing every visible aspect of their person in deeply coercive, constraining ways, because: FREEDOM!"

(We sure do not use the word "freedom" the same way. Bwahahaha. These people are so brazen!)

Hey buddy, take off the tinfoil hat long enough to get down on your knees and thank these goodly people for keeping you safe from the likes of people like you.

Slavery is Freedom, remember?

The real quote from 1984 is “Freedom is Slavery.” But it seems our tyrannical slave masters have even perverted Orwell. Their gibberish means nothing and is meant to confuse, disorient, dishearten and further enslave us.

Confused citizens are easier to herd than free thinkers.

Yup- and the same Winston Smith character who sat at a keyboard and put together that string of nonsense probably already has one written up for when they come kick down your door for a social media post the Intelligence Community deems thought crime.

TBH, with everything I've been posting about our instrumentatian "Googleocrat" overlords since early March, I am not entirely sure how I haven't already been disappeared yet.

My "surround innocent folks" text in quotation marks further above was at least as much about my own experiences (https://deborahlrobinson.com/2024/07/23/the-electronic-bombardments/) being surveilled/stalked for wrongspeech as about Gabbard's. I have already lived in an invisible but potent cage, and I won't go back. My words are now how I stay out of that cage, and will keep doing so for as long as I remain outside a physical cage.

To LOL to see the absurdity of it, here? I was glad for the chance to laugh, to see how ludicrous it is to be on this timepath where ... any of this is happening at all. It reads more like bad fiction than real life!

I sure hope we can get on a better timepath before long. This Googleocrat-overlord one suuucks (for non-oligarchs, anyway).
