Biometric Iris Scanning Technology Rolled Out Across
Entire City "Every person, place, and thing on this
planet will be connected [to the iris system] within
the next 10 years"

A
biometrics research and development company is set to roll out
iris recognition technology across an entire city in a move
that it claims will create a real life Minority Report
society where anyone taking a train or shopping in a department
store will have their eyes scanned by hi-tech sensors.
Global
Rainmakers Inc. (GRI), based out of headquarters
in New York, has announced that it will use the technology to
begin creating what it claims will be "the most secure
city in the world" in Leon, one of Mexico's largest cities.
The move will see GRI's "eye swipe" machines, which
come in a variety of different shapes and sizes, hooked up to
a huge iris database created in conjunction with Leon law enforcement
authorities.
"In the future, whether it's entering your home, opening
your car, entering your workspace, getting a pharmacy prescription
refilled, or having your medical records pulled up, everything
will come off that unique key that is your iris," Jeff
Carter, CDO of GRI tells tech
website FastCompany.com.
According to the article, "Criminals will automatically
be enrolled, their irises scanned once convicted. Law-abiding
citizens will have the option to opt-in."
Yet Carter seems confident that everyone, whether a criminal
or not will soon be hooked into the database:
"Every person, place, and thing on this planet will be
connected [to the iris system] within the next 10 years,"
he says.
In Carter's hideous control freak vision of the future, anyone
taking money out of an ATM, paying for items in a store or simply
catching a bus will have to stare directly into the beast system
while "Police officers will monitor these scans and track
the movements of watch-listed individuals."
Carter even alludes to Philip K. Dick's Minority Report,
noting that the system will operate to a degree even more controlling
than in the cult classic dystopian story.
Not even the "dead eyeballs" seen in Minority
Report could trick the system, he says. "If you've been
convicted of a crime, in essence, this will act as a digital
scarlet letter. If you're a known shoplifter, for example,
you won't be able to go into a store without being flagged.
For others, boarding a plane will be impossible."
One of the blinking iris scanners is revealed in the video
below:
This scanner can process 50 people per minute, while the other
smaller units seen in the picture at the top of this article
can scan between 15-30 people's irises per minute.
"Phase one" of the plan encompasses placing the machines
in law enforcement facilities, security check-points, police
stations, and detention areas, while "Phase two" will
see the technology integrated into public locations across the
city. This speaks volumes. Integrate the criminals and prisoners
first, then simply shift the prison framework out into society.
Presumably "Phase 3" will be to begin implementing
the thing in every city in the world.
There isn't even any pretence of a benign agenda behind this
- it is a bold in your face admission of a plan to force every
human being into a big brother system by hooking it up to the
essential amenities and infrastructure of the city. The stated
aim is to monitor everyone, everywhere, all the time - the perfect
technological matrix-like prison system.
This system is the ultimate perversion of humanity, taking
what makes us all unique and using it to catalogue every one
of us as if we are sheep or cattle on a plantation. It represents
the screaming death knell of freedom.
Mr Carter and GRI don't care about that though, they want
you to know that your freedom is already utterly dead, so resistance
is futile:
"The banks already know more about what we do in our
daily life--they know what we eat, where we go, what we purchase--our
deepest secrets," he says. "We're not talking about
anything different here--just a system that's good for all of
us."
Carter also has a warning for any sheep who think they can
stray from the flock:
"When you get masses of people opting-in, opting out
does not help. Opting out actually puts more of a flag on you
than just being part of the system. We believe everyone will
opt-in."
Carter even speaks of tailoring the technology to "enable
advertisers to track behavior and emotion" by scanning
people's eyes from when they look at a billboard to when they
enter a store and purchase the product.
Minority Report was written as a stark warning of
what may happen in the future should society be engulfed by
invasive technology and begin to regard privacy and civil liberties
as antiquated. Yet increasingly it, and other works like it,
have become
the handbooks for those who would gladly see the
planet fully transformed into a giant fascist control grid if
it means they can swim in the filthy meaningless lucre and revel
in the pathetic soulless power trip it will generate for them.
This technology is here now - it is not some paranoid geek's
frightening description of a distant future. it is time to grow
up, wake up and take note of what our society is being transformed
into.
Readers may politely and constructively voice their disapproval
of GRI's plan to cover the planet with biometric iris scanners
here.
We can only pray that citizens of Leon will raise hell with
their elected representatives over the invasion coming their
way and refuse to allow their city to become a testing ground
for a monstrous worldwide big brother control system.
