The US Government Is Dramatically Expanding the Use of Facial Recognition Technology
Do you want to live in a society where you are required to have your face scanned wherever you go?
If not, you may want to speak up now while you still can. As you will see below, the U.S. government is aggressively expanding the use of facial recognition technology for identification verification purposes. For now, the use of facial recognition technology will be optional. But as we have seen before, once a voluntary option is adopted by enough people our leaders have a way of making it mandatory.
Of course it isn’t just our government that is pushing facial recognition technology. It is popping up throughout our society, and given enough time it would literally be everywhere.
Login.gov is billed as “a single sign-on solution for US government websites”, and now users of Login.gov will be given the option to use facial recognition technology to verify their identities…An online hub for Americans to access benefits and services across the federal government is giving its users a new option to sign on.
The General Services Administration (GSA) will begin offering facial recognition technology as an option for users of Login.gov, a one-stop for government-provided public services, to verify their identities.
GSA’s Technology Transformation Services announced Wednesday it will allow Login.gov users to verify their identity online through facial technology that meets standards set by the National Institute of Standards and Technology’s 800-63-3 Identity Assurance Level 2 (IAL2) guidelines.
We are being told that this will help reduce identity theft and fraud, and I don’t know anyone that likes identity theft and fraud. But do we really want to live in a dystopian world where our faces are constantly being scanned all the time
Mask Mandate Map Shows Where They Are Coming Back
Pandemic-era mask mandates are returning in some health care facilities in California.
As cold and flu season gets underway, four Golden State counties have enforced mandatory mask wearing in health care facility settings for workers and in some cases for visitors.
Wearing masks can help slow the spread of illnesses, such as COVID-19, the flu and other viral infections, and was widely required across the U.S. throughout the coronavirus pandemic in health care settings and beyond.
“Generally, masks can help act as a filter to reduce the number of germs you breathe in or out,” the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) says. “Their effectiveness can vary against different viruses, for example, based on the size of the virus. When worn by a person who has a virus, masks can reduce the chances they spread it to others.”
Currently, coronavirus cases are neither increasing nor decreasing in California, according to the CDC. Overall, COVID-19 cases are declining across the country.
New York Mets Sued for Using Facial Recognition Technology on Fans at Citi Field
The New York Mets may have more information about you than you wanted to give them.
According to a new lawsuit, the Mets and their billionaire owner Steve Cohen have reportedly been taking digital scans of Mets fans’ faces using new facial recognition technology and giving it to third party vendors.
A lawsuit filed by Mets fan Chris Dowling claims that the team is using their Citi Field cameras as “facial identifiers” and sending them to third party processing sites that then uses your data (and facial features.) Dowling claims that the facial tech information is thereby being used ‘for value or profit’ and is a violation of New York City’s Biometrics Law.
The team says that they only use the facial tech for “security purposes,” although free speech proponents claim that the term “security” is vague and can lead to a slippery slope.

Tiktok’s Research Reportedly Acknowledges Negative Effects on Teens
Court documents suggest that TikTok executives are aware of the app’s potential harm to teenagers, according to reporting by NPR and Kentucky Public Radio.
Fourteen U.S. attorneys general sued TikTok earlier this week, claiming that the app harms children’s mental health. Much of the material in those suits was redacted, but reporters were able to read some of that material by copy-pasting.
According to Kentucky’s lawsuit, the company’s own research shows that “compulsive usage correlates with a slew of negative mental health effects like loss of analytical skills, memory formation, contextual thinking, conversational depth, empathy and increased anxiety.”
Mask Off: Globalist Technocrats Reveal Plan to Kill Free Speech
Remember the last time the globalists took the mask off? It wasn’t that long ago, but some people might have already forgotten how the Western world almost lost all individual freedom under the guise of an over-hyped health emergency. When globalists are honest about what they truly want, it usually coincides with an engineered calamity.
In the two years since the failure of the COVID-19 pandemic narrative, I have argued that globalist organizations are trying to regroup under a new plan.
The evidence suggests that these people suffered a shocking revelation after their attempt to implement perpetual medical tyranny. They’ve realized they don’t have as much control over the flow of information and public discourse as they originally assumed.
Even with full-spectrum censorship using algorithms to bury contrary data, even with the full force of the government partnering with social media to silence dissent, even with the threat of economic exile for anyone refusing to take a steady series of mRNA jabs, they still failed.
The truth about COVID-19’s minimal Infection Fatality Rate still spread, along with data proving the uselessness of the mandates and lockdowns. There was nothing they could do about it.
Billions of Gmail Users at Risk From Sophisticated New AI Hack — How to Stay Safe
Hackers are now targeting Gmail account holders with a “super realistic AI [artificial intelligence] scam call” that can trick even the most experienced users. Given that there are more than 2.5 billion Gmail users based on Google‘s figures, it’s little wonder that hackers are targeting Google’s message platform in increasingly sophisticated phishing attacks.
Sam Mitrovic, a Microsoft solutions consultant, flagged the scam in a recent blog post detailing what happened to him. It started when he received a notification asking him to approve a Gmail account recovery attempt, a pretty common phishing technique intended to send the user to a fake login portal to quietly harvest their credentials.
Mitrovic didn’t fall for it and denied the request. About 40 minutes later, he received a notification that he’d missed a call claiming to be from Google Sydney.
Medical Data of Almost 400,000 Americans Stolen: Here’s What We Know
American healthcare management organization Gryphon Healthcare recently suffered a supply-chain cyberattack in which sensitive data on hundreds of thousands of patients was stolen.
The company confirmed the news in a breach notification filed with the Office of the Maine Attorney General, stating a company partner that Gryphon provides medical billing services for was breached some time before Aug. 13, 2024.
The company did not name the partner that was breached, but it seems that the breach gave the attackers access to personal and protected health information that Gryphon maintained.
