It’s Independence Day...
Red, white, and blue in the sky.
While you cheer, did you notice them building the system That watches you 24/7.
Can you see it yet?
Or are you still believing their lies?
VERSE 1- I TRIED TO SHOW YOU I read the bills, Itracked 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... I knew,
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.
Do you even vote, read, ask.
Or is freedom on the Bbq in your backyard!
Think about it. FREDOM
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.
People who love you enough would even try.
You walked away.
It was never IF.
It’s always been WHEN.
QUESTIONs?
Are you ready to LOOK?
RESEARCH. SEE THE EVIDENCE. MAKE 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 RANKED.
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 DOSENT REPEAT, PEOPLE DO.
You didn’t pay attention.
Well, they’ll do it for you!
VERSE 3 - THE LAWS THEY PASSED
It wasn't hidden.
It was in the bills, budgets, the fine print you didn’t read.
I offered you the proof, laws, names and numbers.
OUTRO
WHAT!
You expected CNN to tell you about it! Of course you did!
And you still wouldn’t see.
This isn’t the future. This
is NOW!
THEY WATCH.
THEY PROFILED.
AI WILL PREDICT.
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
Biometric Identification Act
(P.L. 109-349)
Do you even know what this means?!
Oh… by the way,
HAPPY 4th of JULY!
All Hypothetical…
Laughter out
of course!
