Google Facebook et al, Big Tech are currently rewriting grammar school courses for children.

The trick? NO hard copy of the education propaganda are available. None.

So your Alexa kid can be recruited for homosexuality, globalism, tax slavery or sex trafficking and NO RECORD EXISTS!

Big Tech is Communist Evil.

Be Very Afraid.

Alexa is just a friendlier name for telescreen.

I’ll try to keep a pencil and pad on me since HAL can read lips.

Oh, I absolutely understand and agree. They are creating mindless tech dependent minions. They are kidnapping our next generations right under our noses and we are letting them do it. Toys are now a priority over our own children.

Dish Network sent me a new remote that has Alexa installed......I didn’t activate the batteries and stuffed in in a drawer.

What scares me is the thing that can translate thoughts into speech. Great for someone who is mute, but think what a government (like Red China) could do with THAT, combined with facial recognition technology!
Alexa is NOT welcome in my house!!

“But Why?”

Shadows of the ‘mark of the beast’

The dots if connected are beginning to form an image of what it will look like one day, its rising up right in front of us on the waters, while standing on the sand of the sea, a silicon based computer AI used for both John in the book of Revelation to understand those things he saw and by the Dragon to make use of it for his own ends,

It’s happening even faster now than I believed it would and I’ve believed it was coming for a long time,

I knew what I was looking at in 1997,

All will ‘receive’ the ‘gift’ our technocrat overlords will mark us with, any degree of non conformity to the image of this AI beast system will initially result in our being shunned and not being able to function in society in any meaningful way, then later to be relegated to the back of the bus then onto the streets of Revelation Chapter 13 and the End of the Age,

When that day arrives, what follows will happen very quickly, Satan is not in control of when it will be allowed to proceed, God is, and it will come with a ‘falling away’ from the truth of the knowledge of the Gospels,

Its not going to be forced on us, we’ll receive it either gladly by actually believing the lie (in our foreheads) or we’ll simply click our tablets and smartphones to ‘like-like-like’ on every NWO globalist reprobate lie (in our right hand) just to have a minimal and certain raised social media score to be able fly commercial or rent a car, pay our mortgage, buy food, medicine, visit the doctor, collect our 401ks and pensions, sure, maybe we dont believe it but we ‘mash’ the like button, hit the bell notifications and subscribe, the baby needs milk and the Beast is watching, its image must be acknowledged,

Fortunately for us God Almighty in heaven as shown in Revelation Chapters 4,5 and 6 and Daniel Chapters 7 and 12, where Jesus takes the scroll and ownership of this Earth from the wicked tenants, and makes a quick end to this beast abomination empowered over the Earth by these evil reprobate men given over to the workings of Satan,

Just to be clear, I’m not saying the coming ‘man of sin’ and ‘son of perdition’ is a computer, no we are being shown a living person, same for the False Prophet.

What I am saying is that these technologies and systems are the precursors of the very images that move and speak and appear to have life and give power to the beast “to cause all” to worship that anti-Christ spirit rich and poor, free and bond,

My wife won an Alexa in a raffle years ago; she connected it, the kids played with it a while, and within a couple of hours it was disconnected and tucked away in a drawer (never to re-emerge). Just creepy stuff...

Why for the totalitarian-leaning intel community/swamp, as well as purveyors of purveying? That’s easy.

But why for consumers? I continue to be flummoxed by that. It seems as if there may be no limits to the degree of supposed “convenience” that may drive an appalling number of people.

Yes, it is happening now. My 22 YO daughter has her smartphone setup to control her lights and is waiting on a control for her thermostat. She can't wait!

Little does she realize it's just the start. Soon the government will mandate settings and then start to control them through your devices.

The gub'mint won't have to require people to carry PDA's (smartphones), they already will be doing that. They'll just require them to connect through government controlled ISPs....

Soon the government will mandate settings and then start to control us through their devices.

Imagine a Hillary or obama type in power again with millions of these things in American homes. With the power to cut off your electricity, implant incriminating things on your PC, record your voice and make a few changes to the recording and on and on.

It is subtle and insidious,

Big government will step in to regulate and this was the plan from the beginning, to assign a state mandated social media credit score and monitor compliance, its only for our benefit and safety, its for the children,

Worse still is how many that recognise this evil today will eventually begin to believe the lie, that it is correct and true and simply they way it should be,

There is an 8 minute NBC news report about how far along this is already in China, absolutely frightening to watch.

Not sure links are allowed, but do a search on youtube for the following: “A Look Inside China’s Social Credit System, NBC News Now”
