It’s Independence Day...
Red, white, and blue in the sky.
But while you cheer, did you notice the system they’ve been building That watches you 24/7.
Can you see it?
VERSE 1- I TRIED TO SHOW YOU.
I read the bills,
I tracked the laws,
I followed the money and connected the dots.
I stayed up nights so you didn't have to.
I built charts,
laid out the truth.
Not for me...
I knew…
for YOU.
You called me paranoid.
You said, "Prove it."
I brought the facts.
You laughed,
you didn’t looked.
Said, you’d get around to it."
Later never came.
PRE-CHORUS
Your to busy picking your outfit.
Filling your shopping cart.
Making vacation plan.
While they’ve been changing the rules. They’ve already profiled you.
Do you even vote,
read?
ask?
Or do you think Freedom is whats on the Bar-B-Que in your backyard.
CHORUS:
I went to my knees for you.
I brought you truth.
You wouldn't look.
The convergence is happening.
It will turn your world upside down...
That's when you'll cry out,
That's when you'll call my name.
Don't even bother.
I won't be here.
I gave you the warnings.
You had the time.
People who love you are the ones you tried. You walked away.
This was never IF.
It’s always been WHEN.
I even told you how.
RESEARCH.
SEE THE EVIDENCE.
MAKE CONNECTION.
KNOWLEDGE IS POWER.
FREEDOM IS CHOICE.
VERSE 2 - THE SYSTEM THEY BUILT
Cameras on the streets, called FLOCK!
Drones in the sky.
License plate readers.
Tracking your every move.
Real-time crime centers.
All paid for by you.
Digital IDs with biometrics.
Wallets and payments,
tokenized for
Programmable control.
They can deny it.
They can delay it, freeze it, redirect it.
They can shut you out and call it "security."
Surveillance everywhere .
Smart homes,
AI doctors,
All converged together for your Predictive behavior. The
Algorithm,
You don't even see it
Happening. They are ranking you.
This is convergence.
This is the prison.
Rome did it.
Empires did it.
They all said it was for
order,
For protection,
For the people,
People traded freedom
for comfort.
HISTORY Doesn’t REPEAT, itself
PEOPLE DO.
They stop pay attention.
So they will do it for you!
VERSE 3 - THE LAWS THEY PASSED
They weren’t hidden.
They were in the
Bills,
The budgets,
the fine print .
You didn’t read.
OUTRO:
Did you expected CNN to tell you about it! Of course you did!
And you still wouldn’t see.
This isn’t in the future.
This is NOW!
THEY WATCH. THEY PROFILED.
AI PREDICTS. ALL TO CONTROL YOU. NO PLACE TO HIDE.
Was it laziness, ignorance,
or to fragmented to see.
Congress PASSED:
US PATRIOT Act (P.L. 107-56) allowing surveillance of you and me.
The REAL ID Act (P.L. 109-13)
Setting national standards for Government access.
Biometric Identification Act
(P.L. 109-349)
Do you even know what this means? It have the government use of our biometrics …
SPOKEN BRIDGE:
You might want to go flip that freedom you forgot about on your BBQ…
I think it’s burning!
Happy 4th of July!
