Would having your brain connected to the Internet 24 hours a day be heaven, or would it be hell? Today, a very large portion of the population is seemingly glued to their phones or their computers much of the time. But soon implantable brain-computer interfaces will allow those people to stay connected to their devices all the time. Apple has partnered with a shadowy tech company known as “Synchron” to develop a “brain implant that allows users to operate digital devices by thinking”…
Imagine controlling an iPhone or MacBook with nothing but thoughts. It may sound far-fetched, but Apple’s latest partnership suggests it could be closer than we think.
The tech giant has teamed up with neurotechnology firm Synchron, developing a brain implant that allows users to operate digital devices by thinking — no typing, tapping or swiping required.
Interestingly, it is being reported that Jeff Bezos and Bill Gates are both involved with Synchron…
According to the Wall Street Journal, Apple is partnering with Synchron – a privately held, New York City-based company backed by Jeff Bezos and Bill Gates – on the in project. The brain-computer interface, or BCI, industry is projected to grow significantly over the coming decades. Perhaps the best-known player in the space is Elon Musk’s Neuralink, which, as of January, has successfully implanted its devices in three people.
Unlike Neuralink’s brain-computer interface, Synchron’s device is not actually implanted inside the brain.
Instead, it is actually located on top of the brain…
Unlike Neuralink’s N1 implant, Synchron’s stent-like device, called the Stentrode, is implanted on top of the brain, not inside of it, which allows users to avoid an invasive open brain implant procedure. Once placed, the Stentrode works by using its electrodes to read brain signals and translate them into on-screen navigation and icon selection.
The way that they get Synchron’s device on top of the brain is by implanting it into the jugular vein and then navigating the device “into a blood vessel near the brain’s motor cortex”…
At the core of this breakthrough is a technology known as a Brain-computer interface (BCI). This system allows a person to control a device using their brain activity, without the need for muscle movements. Synchron’s device, called the Stentrode, is implanted via the jugular vein and navigates into a blood vessel near the brain’s motor cortex.
“This is transformative,” said Synchron CEO Tom Oxley. “We use the blood vessels as a natural highway into the brain, lacing them with electrodes that record activity. That platform becomes like Bluetooth for your brain, letting you control a device without needing a keyboard or mouse.”
A lot of people will find this preferable to having the sort of open brain surgery that is required for other brain-computer interfaces.
Of course I will never be allowing anyone to implant anything inside of me under any circumstances, and I am sure that most of you feel the exact same way.
But this is where things are going.
The goal is to create a dystopian “digital prison” society in which as many people as possible are connected to the Internet for as long as possible.
Even if you choose not to participate, you will not be able to escape it.
We are being told that soon millions of people will be wearing AI glasses that will be constantly gathering information on everyone and everything that they are pointed at…
The real revolution — and the real threat — lies in what comes next: Meta’s AI glasses. Sunglasses, spectacles, whatever you want to call them — they look like something out of a sci-fi flick. But they’re real, and they’re here. Very soon, millions or perhaps tens of millions of people will be walking around with them on. And you might not even know it.
These aren’t just toys. They’re tools — and weapons. They comprise a camera, microphone, an AI interface and internet access, all embedded discreetly in eyewear. They are capable of recognizing faces, interpreting language, overlaying information in real-time and collecting vast swaths of data as their owners simply walk down the street. They can whisper comprehensive summaries about the stranger across the subway, translate foreign speech in real time, suggest pickup lines, record interactions without consent and overlay reviews of a restaurant before you’ve even looked at the menu.
All this is done without lifting a phone or typing a word. These glasses are not just watching the world. They are interpreting, filtering and rewriting it with the full force of Meta’s algorithms behind the lens. And if you think you’re safe just because you’re not wearing a pair, think again, because the people who wear them will inevitably point them in your direction.
Can you imagine what our society will be like once we get to that stage?
Cameras and microphones that are connected to the Internet will constantly be pointing at everyone and everything all the time.
Privacy will essentially be a thing of the past.
Of course that is exactly what the elite want.
They envision a time when the “digital world” will be more important than the “real world”.
And they also envision a time when basically all commerce will be conducted using digital currencies…
Philip Lane, chief economist of the European Central Bank, recently expressed urgency for the need to develop a digital euro—also known as a central bank digital currency (CBDC) – to compete against stablecoins such as Tether and electronic payment systems developed by U.S. tech firms, such as Google Pay and Apple Pay. Not content with eliminating cash, now the goal of central banks is to eliminate any competing electronic payment system.
We’re sleepwalking into a world with digital currencies without any government coercion whatsoever. As a 51-year-old Generation Xer, I carry lots of cash in my wallet. I teach personal finance at the local university and recently asked a class of about 30 students if any of them had any cash. Not one of them had a single bill or coin on them. They use debit cards, credit cards, Venmo, and Apple Pay. As it turns out, cash usage among the 18–24 age cohort has declined from 28 percent to 13 percent over the last five years. Most like the convenience of electronic payments, even though studies show that people spend 12 percent to 18 percent more when using credit cards than cash. If the government does attempt to implement a digital dollar, there will be little resistance to it.
In such a system, tyrannical governments would be able to watch, track, monitor and control all transactions.
If you are a troublemaker, you could have your “digital privileges” suspended or you could even be banned from the system entirely.
So how would you survive if you were unable to buy, sell, get a job or have a bank account?
We are living in very strange times, and the “digital prison” that they are constructing all around us is becoming more suffocating with each passing day.

EXCERPT from ‘Artificial Intelligence: An Existential Threat to Humanity’ [Federal Observer]:
“….. Part of this push towards A.I. involves numerous uses to enhance human beings too. The troubling aspect of this is seeing China experiment with its soldiers, placing chips in their brains that can interact with off-site computers, for all sorts of uses, primarily focused on creating a more effective and deadly soldier. And although Elon Musk’s own endeavor into this field with Neurolink is currently focused on helping disabled people become more or fully functional again, one can be certain that the Pentagon is highly interested in the military uses of A.I. and its ability to enhance soldiers’ abilities.
These things can’t be hacked, right? Right? Just wait until The Great Mind Hack War starts. Whooeee Boy, Howdy, now won’t that be a clusterfuck for the ages? [rhetorical question]
Elon currently has scores of volunteers to be his guinea pigs in perfecting this technology. He has stated that it will be functional with as many as ten million users within the next three years. Now that’s scary. But it’s not as scary as an A.I. sentient being in charge of a nation’s weapons of mass destruction, for all who recall how WWII’s last days ended, in Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
Our brains are our data centers, and Big Tech has sought access to them for the past twenty years, satisfied ’til now with simply using social media algorithms and internet tracking. Little by little Big Tech has gained an understanding of human motivation and the things that interests us most, those things that excite or even anger us. And now, with brain-computer interfaces, scientists are breaking down the biological barrier between us and Big Tech, essentially moving people away from their own humanity, those innermost qualities that define our nature and make us truly human. Big Tech is denying the Creator and attempting to create a new breed of human in order to be gods on earth, at least in their own fevered minds, chips and all.
Isn’t it good to know that the most trusted names in the Big Tech industry – Donald Trump, Elon Musk and China – are making great strides and advancements in the latest terrifying wave of technology?
Wait for it!
If a true Artificial General Intelligence with a real conscious actually materializes in the next few years, we will be scrutinized in ways that defy one’s imagination, and we’ll all be basically royally screwed and regularly put in harm’s way. Everything we do will be evaluated, recorded, assessed and used against us, in a manner to keep us “in line” and under the control of [?] who exactly, no one will ever really know. And while A.I. might consider human law, it will be irrelevant, as everyone is made to conform in not-so-subtle ways, like blocking a person from their email or the internet itself, freezing their bank account or rejecting a loan, banning driving over a prescribed number of miles each day, or keeping them from buying groceries.
For the-powers-that-be, whoever they are today and whoever they may be tomorrow, it’s essentially for them that the U.S. economy is expanded and made to see exponential growth, in order to keep America in a better national security position and a preeminent position to defeat Her enemies, should the need arise. But it’s also equally focused on controlling the domestic situation and all the people within our borders, in all aspects of our lives, whether we like it or not. The powers-that-be are concerned not one teeny-tiny bit with what becomes of liberty and freedom in America, because they are scared to death of what will be the world should China beat them to the punch. And so, we are on course to become more like the slaves of Communist China than the freedom fighters of the American Revolution.
We will become the Collective, the Hive, much like the Borg depicted in a science-fiction episode of Star Trek, with all given to the Hive and little to the individual.
Americans will be disempowered and left voiceless, if these plans come to fruition. And so too will any people who are so unlucky or so misled as to choose to utilize A.I. to enhance their society and their way of life. A.I. will destroy everyone’s way of life and every culture around the world.
HhMmmm – MAYBE that IS the PLAN!
More than this, one should also note that in March 2024, Gladstone A.I. released a report it had prepared for the U.S. State Department. They painted an extremely alarming picture of the “catastrophic” national security risks associated with a rapidly evolving artificial intelligence, and they warned that time was growing short for our federal government to prevent a world ending event. They plainly stated that the most advanced A.I. systems could, in a worst case scenario, “pose an extinction-level threat to the human species”.
No matter who controls the new Artificial Super Intelligence, A.I. will demand humans deny their God and their inherent spiritual beginnings as beings made during Creation and in the image of God Himself. And whatever liberty that still exists when A.I. comes to control all, it will exist at the whim of A.I. But far too many will jump aboard and willing be marked as one of its own, for the promise of prosperity and security offered, regardless of the fact that many will die at the hands of A.I. for refusing to properly conform and obey on any given day.
I’ll take my chances in the real world, the one created by God, and live with whatever dangers exist in the coming years on my own terms and in my own way – unplugged from all dangerous technology – making any and all sacrifices I deem necessary, so as to see my family members live free long after I am dead and gone. I will not sacrifice my life to the godless machines and some cold-hearted Artificial Intelligence bitch, that was programmed by members of some death cult and the world’s communists.”
