Trump Administration Considering Social Credit Score System To Determine Who Can Buy A Gun
Summit News ^ | 09/04/19 | Paul Joseph Watson

Would partner with Big Tech to use spy data from Amazon, Google and Apple.

The Trump administration is considering launching a social credit score-style system in coordination with Big Tech that would use spy data collected from Amazon, Google and Apple devices to determine whether or not an individual can own a gun.

“The proposal is part of an initiative to create a Health Advanced Research Projects Agency (HARPA), which would be located inside the Health and Human Services Department,” reports the Daily Caller. “The new agency would have a separate budget and the president would be responsible for appointing its director.”

HARPA would employ “breakthrough technologies with high specificity and sensitivity for early diagnosis of neuropsychiatric violence,” including Apple Watches, Amazon Echo and Google Home.

In other words, data collected from devices that spy on private conversations and closely monitor user behavior would be used to strip Americans of their fundamental rights.

“Though the proposal is starting as a voluntary data collection scheme allegedly aimed at finding warning signs of mental illness, we all know so-called “voluntary” government programs often become mandatory at the drop of a hat,” comments Chris Menahan.

According to the Washington Post, Trump has reacted “very positively” to the idea.

The full scope of the program is chilling and would provide Big Tech with an easy excuse to formally impose the total neuro-surveillance of citizens via their smart phone and home assistant devices, something that has already been occurring surreptitiously for years.

One wonders if Trump has any idea of the slippery slope this would entail, or whether he was sold on the idea because Ivanka cried.

The proposal bears some similarities to Communist China’s social credit score system, where citizens’ behavior is tightly surveilled and then met with rewards or punishments.

Because this is how you lose an election.

This is how you lose a country.

The next step:

Democrat is elected to Presidency.

Google/Facebook/Twitter is brought in to monitor Social Credit System.

If they do not like your posts, they signal to state to take your firearms.

You must participate on Social Media.

No account that passes muster, you are considered a loner and your firearms are taken away.

This sounds pretty nifty....couldn’t we use it to pick/allow who can run for President? Maybe the Pentagon could use it to determine Generals? Maybe it could even be used to determine who plays in the next Avengers movie.

The only way to escape detection as a conservative and subsequent banishment to the camps would be to disguise oneself as a raging leftist, like walking around wearing a Barack Obama T-shirt for example, and spending a lot of time in Starbucks and wine bars.

Winston Smith in “1984” had to act outraged and yell and scream during the two-minute hate, while inside he retained his revolutionary spirit, until they finally got to him and destroyed it.

Dark times ahead, I fear.

If someone like ME wouldn’t vote for him?

Very few will.

My question is if you are not on Social Media, what will they use for a score?

You will be considered an off-grid, right-wing terrorist, and your score will be negative. Off to the re-education camp for you!

Want a positive score? You must have a presence on Social Media, and regularly post happy talk about the current regime.

“Social Media”?
“Smart devices”
“Google, Amazon, Smart watch, etc.”?
I’m about as publicly invisible as it gets, so does my “Score” fall to zero and I’m automatically banned from owning firearms?

Eff the big tech companies and their socialist control-state trash.
I’m pretty well armed already, let’s see Musk and the other heads of these socialist cabals lead the confiscations instead of sending others to do them.

I chose my tagline carefully.

There shouldn’t be a social credit score for anything in the United States of America or any other country that allegedly values freedom. China is big on this social credit score thing. China is a totalitarian country.

If this is true, and if Trump is actually planning to announce support for something like this, he might as well announce that he is not seeking re-election at the same time.
