DS seems to know the gig is mostly up in the U.S., and strengthening itself elsewhere. Massive dictatorship moves in Europe. The takeover of Syria. My educated guess is that they are going after control of food, water, and energy. There's plenty of evidence of this. Plus spying on everyone, especially with "AI." (AI is fishy as shit.)
I think what they are WAY scared of is that MAGA/ Russian alliance. "Russia, Russia, Russia" is starting to mean even more than it did originally.
What say you?
The AI has been spying on everyone for years. I believe it was a declassified technology, released recently to make it clear to people that with AI and connected systems, there is no privacy. A move, I hope, to prevent further connection of systems, a preventer of digital ID, because if AI has the master key of digital ID, then it can aggregate everything you do. In effect the criminals in charge would rather not have digital ID and AI at the same time. So declass AI and that stops digital ID (of the government, need it for everything type).
Just incoherently rambling my pet theory, please ignore.
