Subject: DARPA Technology Expanding with the Times and OUR Time is Running Out !
Ed Note:
Have you ever wondered if the stories you've heard about Wal*Mart FEMA Camps real or not? Do you know how sophisticated most Wal*Marts are with security.....facial recognition [DARPA] technology, or the [pre-planned] ability to transform from being your favorite retail giant to a full blown shelter /prison overnight?
Wal*Mart is the government's favorite retail giant too ! "See something say something" was rolled-out in 2015 by DHS Janet Reno and Wal*Mart became the latest Orwellian version of a 'New Brave World' when privacy concerns are no longer yours anymore. Once you walk through the door, your 4th Amendment Rights are gone....
From the time you exit your vehicle, Wal*Mart security are watching you, but then as you enter the front door with a senior citizen welcoming you, the facial recognition of your face is immediately scanned and presented to the security person with details about who you are and why security needs to watch your every move while you shop.
Fear not if you haven't had a bad experience at Wal*Mart like NOT presenting your receipt at the exit door, or worse.....shop lifting, but looking at their cameras can get you tagged.
I personally love Wal*Mart because they have everything I need and they're everywhere !However....I'm in their security system and my face is automatically captured by their facial recognition system.
A green square encircles my face and then turns red as I enter with a tag next to my face with data.
I'm not sure what that data is, because I haven't seen the tag, but based-on what I have learned, the tag now has my name (from using my debit/credit card at check-out) and is likely linked with the federal government's National Crime Information Center (NCIC) — FBI (Updates forthcoming if a Communist wins the 2020 presidency????)
It all started at a Wal*Mart in Show Low Arizona one evening when three of us were in and around the ammo / rifle section, but no employees were present. My friend wanted to talk with someone about a .12 gauge shotgun, and myself and his girlfriend looked at the nearest security camera hanging on the ceiling and motioned to whoever was watching....we want some help !
Still....nobody showed-up, so the girlfriend decided to mess with them by appearing to do suspicious things as if she was stuffing something in her jacket. Anyway, nobody seemed to care, except a woman that appeared to be a shopper shows-up out-of-nowhere, and is fiddling around some products nearby and very obvious she was NOT shopping....so, we messed with her !
The girlfriend (acting like an employee) asked the lady if she could help her find something and that threw the woman security shopper off. She had no answer...even a "no" would have been expected, but instead just a confused and rattled security shopper that didn't really know how to act next. She just moved further down the aisle, fiddling with stuff, which I will point-out is a tell-tail sign you're being watched.
We moved-on from the ammo section, since nobody showed-up to help my friend look at a shotgun, but as we left Wal*Mart, the three of us were followed right out the door. It was obvious, the security camera watching the girlfriend pretend she was stuffing (nothing) in her jacket did not cause an event for a shop lifting check to occur. But it gets better....
A couple months later, I entered another Wal*Mart, 300 miles away and was alone. I was not even thinking about the Show Low incident, but the only thing that caught my attention was an announcement over the P.A. system of a code "alpha" or something similar. (I notice stuff like that, but didn't think anything of it).
As I am looking for index cards in stationary, a regular Wal*Mart employee, wearing blue vest, shows-up and is "fiddling" with stuff as if he was straightening out a display, but obviously wasn't. That was my first indication that he was there for me.
I needed a pair of boots and proceeded over to the shoe section. As I am looking at boot sizes, a man in a suit, wearing an ear piece, shows-up and stood about 4 feet away from me, looking at nothing, but appeared to be standing guard.
So....I knew right then and there, he was there for me, so I asked him...."hi, do you have a size 12 in this boot in the back?"
He looked at me and said ABSOLUTELY NOTHING ! I then said....'Yep, you have a tough job." No reply, no nothing.
At the checkout lane, I casually asked the woman, "I heard a code (?)alpha...what is that?" She was a bit hesitant, but quietly said, something to the effect...."It means there is a troublemaker in the store."
From the point of encounter with the employee "fiddling" with products and followed by the (FBI) sort of looking security employee, I quickly realized, I'm in Wal*Mart's facial recognition system.....and I'm that "trouble maker!"
How much data do they have on me is unknown, but since that event some four years ago, I am sure....Wal*Mart's security system has advanced and continues to advance.
Sure.....retailers have a major problem with shop lifters, causing mega stores like Wal*Mart to lose millions of dollars annually, but shoplifting is not the only item on the shelf, when it comes to government over-reach and the 'Police State' environment we currently live under.
Every aspect of our lives, in our homes, on the street walking, at stop lights, and in most every store or resturant we enter.....our faces and credit card information is in a federal database that can easily be displayed with the click of a mouse. In the home, Google / DARPA listens via 'Alexis' (WiFi), laptops, and knows everything about our lifestyle(s) and can be used against us at a later time.
Wal*Mart is ground zero for such technology to evolve and is it any wonder why Wal*Mart can go from being our favorite place to shop to being a FEMA camp overnight...if the government needs to, be it for refugees, hurricane shelters, or a detention facility?
Consider the many reports about Wal*Marts shutting down over "plumbing problems" and why they do not re-open, but windows sealed-off and razor wire placed in strategic places on the building. Other reports say, there are tunnels built underground near certain Wal*Marts....plus sites selected for new Wal*Marts are pre-selected for military operations (see video).
DARPA technology is expanding with the times and OUR time is running out !
And....I often wonder why was the Red Chinese Communist Star removed from the Wal*Mart logo?

Top DARPA Projects That Should Creep You Out
National Facial Recognition Database To Use Loyalty Rewards To Identify American Shoppers
For years, I have been warning people about facial recognition in retail stores, but this story might convince you to avoid retail stores altogether.
A recent article in Biometric Update. com (BU) reveals that retail stores have a master plan to convince Americans to accept facial biometrics.
BU interviewed four facial biometric company CEO's and what they revealed is frightening.
The article starts off innocuously enough by telling us that U.S. retail biometrics is used primarily in loss-prevention but things quickly take a turn for the worse.
BU's interview with FaceFirst CEO Peter Tripp is especially disconcerting, as he reveals how retailers plan to use a "facial recognition opt-in environment."
“There is another step though that exists which has more to do with consumer loyalty, and consumer experience, that is not quite as expensive an endeavor, and I think there are lots of folks looking at ways of doing that in a friendly opt-in environment, where privacy is not the cornerstone issue, Tripp said."
If any of this sounds familiar its because they are doing the exact same thing with digital drivers licenses.
Biometric companies are trying to convince Americans to accept digital drivers license by tying them to loyalty rewards programs. Last year the Lincoln Motor Company installed "complimentary" TSA PreCheck biometric scanners in all their new vehicles so customers can get through airport and sport stadium check-in lines quicker.
Corporate-run national biometric database
According to a recent ZDNet article a new partnership between SureID a biometric fingerprinting company and Robbie.AI a facial recognition company "could create a national biometric database."
"Adding facial recognition from Robbie.AI gives the two firms the building blocks of a nationwide biometric database that could be used in a number of settings, from retail authentication and employment verification to more speculative applications like driver-identification for keyless self-driving cars or even user recognition in future robotic platforms.""As technology emerges and companies adopt more sophisticated forms of security, it will be crucial for safety and security to authenticate the real identity of technicians and consumers," says Ned Hayes, General Manager at SureID.
BU's article reveals how retailers plan to identify every customer.
Whoo.ai CEO Arturo Falck said, "Once companies are using this type of technology for crime prevention purposes, there’s no reason why they should not be using it for upselling their customers.”
SensibleVision CEO George Brostoff sees customer loyalty rewards as a logical next step in the U.S. And Goode Intelligence Founder Alan Goode, sees a huge potential for biometric customer loyalty programs. Goode also thinks retail facial recognition should be used for age verification in self-check out systems.
A company called BiteKiosk wants restaurants to use their self-service facial recognition kiosks to increase profits and offers customers food discounts as an incentive to use them.
Loyalty rewards used to create a national biometric database
Falck said, loyalty rewards could be used to convince the public that facial recognition is not that bad.
“It is a way for the businesses to turn what could potentially be bad public relations into engagement opportunities.”
BU admits that loyalty rewards are a scam.
"Companies participating in the scheme can offer app users incentives to opt-in, as well as loyalty rewards or discounts on particular items they may be interested in. The back-end uses an open REST API for companies to integrate it with their facial recognition systems."
Goode admits that facial recognition is really about creating a national biometric database.
“China, India, Russia, parts of Latin America and Japan have been using centralized biometric databases for a long time."
Oddly or perhaps by design their is no mention of retailers creating facial recognition watchlists.
So what is their master plan?
Tripp revealed that retailers are planning on a "gradual expansion of facial recognition."
The BU article goes on to say that 'retailers have been slowly installing facial recognition in back-of-house deployments which builds familiarity not only with retailers but with the staff as well.
The article ends on a disturbing quote, "the infrastructure in this case is people’s perspective. That can change quickly."
Our perspectives had better change or corporate America will buy everyone's identity using rewards programs and the ability to skip check-in lines.
