2. It correlates with Mother Jones' July/Aug issue entitled "Technofascist Takeover".

The point of the second article (the first was about Fetterman's rewiring), "Control, Delete" is this (centered in bold):


IF THIS BUREAUCRATIC
SMASH-AND-GRAB
HAD A TECHNICAL MISSION,
IT WAS TO BREAK DOWN EXISTING
SILOS OF DATA
THE GOVERNMENT COLLECTS ON YOU
TO ENABLE A SORT OF
GOD'S-EYE VIEW OF THE
AMERICAN POPULACE.

This video is just a small part of what will try to become so entrenched as to end democracy.
