"The face recognition and CCTV cameras that are used to catch criminals can be used for social control and surveillance.

In England at the moment, there are more closed circuit TV cameras than in the whole of North America.

China is putting 600 million CCTV cameras into its country this year and
they are developing social control. It's already operating in 13 cities.

And the
basic idea, they will probably modify it a little, is that each citizen is given 300 points. And people are tracked.

They're observed. And if they're seen buying something that the authorities think might be a waste of time or going to a questionable place, they lose points.

And then they begin to discover that their credit card won't be accepted or that they can't get onto a train or they can't go to their favorite restaurant or they do things that are regarded as good and their point score goes up and they may be able to buy a new car and there's been a time argument a Time article about it that's makes really scary reading.

It's saying it's setting the stage for the most thorough form of surveillance the world has ever seen. This point system in China is welcomed by people.

The amazing thing is they think it's marvelous and they go around saying to people to their friends, "I've pushed my points up by 50.
How are you doing?"

that's from the reasonably short thread video, here's the Time article with a full description of the Surveillance and Point system.

Posts like that put you in the same league as... everyone else who substitutes ad hominem for argument.

biblical prophecies fulfilled

More non-argument, more ad hominem.

So telling.

Yes, because as an Gnostic Atheist, you KNOW THE TRUTH!

So naturally you laugh at anything outside your self-perceived knowledge.

I mean, obviously these Oxford and Harvard Profs of Pure Mathematics and Astrophysics are intellectual pikers in comparison.
