      New metadata tag added to each individual’s archive. We already know thanks to Snowden that they’ve been collecting EVERYTHING and using it to effectively go back in time and retroactively monitor anyone they want.

        I remember when this would just get you called a crazy conspiracy theorist. Then when it turned out to be true, nobody said anything.

        I‘m guessing for now all this data is functionally useless since there is too much of it and you can‘t really differentiate between shit poster and actual threat.

        What I wonder though, if eventually some AI could predict future behaviour, like say they fed it digital footprints of those that go ahead and do something, could it spot those similar?

        Well, I hope I‘ll be dead by then cause I don‘t want to see the future police states at work, it‘s bad enough as it is.

          Oh no that information is readily available, indexed, ready to be brought up at a moments notice as soon as they have someone new on the radar. They can crunch through that data very quickly to generate a threat assessment on a new person. For the government, the difference between trolling and real threat don’t matter, they treat them the same until you are about to do something. If you’ve ever made a joking threat about a politician on the internet, there’s a file open on you, it just may not have your name on it yet.

          It’s not about predicting, it’s meant to be retroactive once they have a person in mind. That’s what makes the data collection technically legal according to the courts, since no specific individual is being targeted by the mass data collection, no warrant is necessary. They can gobble it all up now, and sift through it later.

    I would be extremely concerned about anybody with positive views of health insurance, only slightly less so if they were directly enriching themselves off of it.

    Oh, I know I am firmly on that list. Brian Thompson got what he deserved. It’s a shame it hasn’t happened to more of them.

    Saint Luigi of Baltimore, forgive us our debts. Deliver us from the greed of the Wicked. Protect us in sickness and in health. Lead us from the labyrinth of insurance denials. Bring Justice to the Merchants of Death.

    I referred to Luigi during a call with my SSDI attorney earlier today. I was shocked that she didn’t immediately get the reference.

    They turned down my application despite their own doctors saying I was disabled.

    The document is one of a flurry threat reports quietly circulated to law enforcement across the country by a sprawling network of little-known intelligence organizations created in response to 9/11. Called fusion centers, groups like the New York State Intelligence Center were tasked with fighting terrorism, which alleged the killer Luigi Mangione was charged with. Today, there is at least one fusion center in all 50 states (even Wyoming, home to the Wyoming Information Analysis Team.)

    Marked “LAW ENFORCEMENT USE ONLY,” the document quoted above is, like other intelligence reports, not usually available to the public. But this record was pried loose by the open records wizardry of the transparency nonprofit Property of the People. Without them, this report would join the countless others exempt from public scrutiny. That’s a real gift to the government agencies that produce these reports, which often serve little purpose beyond inflating supposed threats into zeppelin-like proportions.

    Consider, for example, the report’s boldfaced title —“Executive ‘Hit Lists’” — evoking some kind of John Wick-style serial hitman. But the evidence for this amounts to “viral posts online” that “listed the names and salaries of several health insurance executives” and some “Wanted” signs posted in Manhattan.

      feds just doing busy work, online shit posters ain’t no Luigi.

      And future Luigi is smart enough not to shot post about his or her sentiment on such issues.

      This entire thing is a psyop to make normies to self censor. And it works.

    How is this different than before? The NSA and every other three letter agency has been sweeping up domestic data and doing warrantless monitoring of U.S. citizens for as long as they’ve had the capability.

    Okay, we already know the spooks are already monitoring everyone. We’ve known this for a long time. They don’t have to come up with an excuse to try and tell us.
