…”oh say can you see!” Hum , probably NOT

It’s Independence Day...

Red, white, and blue in the sky.

But while you were cheering, They were building the system That watches you 24/7.

Can you see it yet?

Or are you still looking through the lies?

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 the charts, I wrote the truth, Not for me... for you.

You called me paranoid.

You said, "Prove it."

So I brought the facts.

You never opened them.

You laughed before you looked.

Said, "I'll get around to it."

Later never came.

PRE-CHORUS

You worried about your outfit.

Your shopping cart.

Your vacation plan.

While they changed the rules

That own your life.

You don't vote.

You don't read.

You don't ask.

You don't care...

Until it's too late.

CHORUS

I went down to my knees for you.

I brought you truth.

You wouldn't even look.

Now when convergence

Turns 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.

You had the warnings.

You had the time.

You had the people Who loved you enough

To try.

You walked away.

THE QUESTION ISN'T IF.

THE QUESTION ISN'T WHEN.

THE QUESTION IS...

- YOU FINALLY LOOK?

RESEARCH. EVIDENCE. CONNECTION.

KNOWLEDGE IS POWER.

FREEDOM IS CHOICE.

VERSE 2 - THE SYSTEM THEY BUILT

Cameras in the streets. (Flock)

Drones in the sky.

Tracking every move.

License plate readers.

Real-time crime centers.

All paid for by you.

Digital IDs and biometrics.

Wallets and payments.

Tokenized money.

Programmable control.

They can delay it.

They can deny it.

They can freeze it.

They can redirect it.

They can shut you out.

And call it "security."

Retail cameras.

Smart homes.

Al in your doctor's notes.

Predictive behavior scoring.

Algorithmic decisions.

You don't even see it

Happening anymore.

This is convergence.

This is the prison.

BRIDGE - HISTORY REPEATS ITSELF

Rome did it.

Empires did it.

They said it was for order.

For protection.

For the people.

Every time...

The people traded freedom

For comfort.

History doesn't repeat itself.

People do.

Stop paying attention.

Give up your rights.

Then cry for someone

To save them.

VERSE 3 - THE LAWS THEY PASSED

It wasn't hidden.

It was in the bills.

It was in the budgets.

It was in the fine print.

I gave you the numbers.

OUTRO

It's always been public.

What! You expected CNN to tell you about it!

You still wouldn’t see.

This is the future.

The time to act, ran out!

THEY WATCH.

THEY PROFILED.

THEY PREDICT.

ALL TO CONTROL YOU

YOU CANT RUN OR HIDE

Is it laziness, ignorance, to fragmented to see,

Congress PASSED (maybe now you’ll see )

• USA PATRIOT Act (P.L. 107-56)

Expanded surveillance, searches, and information sharing.

• REAL ID Act (P.L. 109-13)

Sets national standards for ID and federal access.

• Secure and Responsible

Biometric Identification Act

(P.L. 109-349)

Promotes federal use of biometrics

Oh by the way….

Of course this is all hypothetical !

🤣

HAPPY 4th of JULY!
