Personal data is the new oil for capitalism. The control of the distribution of resources through personal data aggregation and analysis is the new reality.
Harvesting personal health data is part of that objective. Change laws to make it easier.
@Paulbyjove1@Dave_Khan@jkenney@shandro It is being overlooked. Most focus on individual threat, but this legislation permits the government to harvest data and use it for any purpose they consider “in the best interests” of the public. Consider who UCP sees as the “public.”
Corporations & Dominionist Christians.
@Paulbyjove1@Dave_Khan@jkenney@shandro This legislation permits AB government to transfer individual and aggregated data to Corporate and Faith based entities for analysis, manipulation and influence.
The documentary “People You May Know” revealed that health data (more specifically mental health data) is sought.
@Paulbyjove1@Dave_Khan@jkenney@shandro It’s used to recruit the vulnerable to faith institutions who then indoctrinate and manipulate the “faithful” to vote in the best interests of corporations.
That is the whole point of the Dominionist movement.
Controlling voters to give an appearance of democratic freedom.
The Dominionist Christian political movement is the greatest threat to humanity and its continued existence.
@Paulbyjove1@Dave_Khan@jkenney@shandro Should the architects of this movement succeed, privacy, freedom of thought, independent choice and freedom will be faint and distant memories.
This is modelled after Chinese Social Credit System that Chinese Communist Party has implemented.
@Paulbyjove1@Dave_Khan@jkenney@shandro The Chinese Social Credit System (or a version of it) has been exported and installed in autocratic nations. It’s a behaviour control system. Installation in democratic nations is currently in progress. Kenney’s legislation is a step in that direction to achieve that goal.
@Paulbyjove1@Dave_Khan@jkenney@shandro Free agency is troublesome and limiting to autocratic leadership. Modern technology permits those with the means to access volumes of personal data to manipulate, influence and shape the behaviour of entire populations.
Cambridge Analytica was a limited use of that technology.
@Paulbyjove1@Dave_Khan@jkenney@shandro By analyzing the behaviour of individuals on social media, those with access to personal data can predict an individual’s behaviour better than most intimate partners. Often, better than the individual understands their own behaviour.
@Paulbyjove1@Dave_Khan@jkenney@shandro The insight into the thought processes and decision making capacity of an individual provides opportunity to influence and shape perception and behaviour.
Currently, that ability is the most valuable commodity on the planet. Bought and sold regularly.
With the addition of personalized health data, propaganda micro targeting can be refined to precision.
It expands the power to control masses of people.
@Paulbyjove1@Dave_Khan@jkenney@shandro That’s what this legislation is. Legalization of the transfer of personalized health data to be used by corporate and faith based organizations to manipulate individuals with more precision.
Once the data is transferred it cannot be “untransferred.”
@Paulbyjove1@Dave_Khan@jkenney@shandro This action is a result of a power grab Kenney & UCP made with Bill 10. Awarding themselves the power to repeal, create & amend legislation at the whim of each minister, without oversight, without the requirement of the legislative process, in the best “interests” of the public.
Just like Nazi Germany, UCP is making everything they do “legal.” They just change the laws to make their actions and policies legislated and legitimate.
@Paulbyjove1@Dave_Khan@jkenney@shandro The Holocaust was within the legal code of Germany. Hitler made sure to “legally” document the policy of the “Final Solution.”
I’m not hyperbolic. I’m not exaggerating. Kenney and UCP represent full throttle fascism.
We don’t have much time to remove him from power.
@Paulbyjove1@Dave_Khan@jkenney@shandro If he succeeds in transferring health data to external entities, which I assume is imminent, Albertans will be subjected to increased micro targeting and influence.
Only those who are resistant to manipulation will be able to maintain full control of their thoughts & beliefs.
@Paulbyjove1@Dave_Khan@jkenney@shandro There is an explanation for the extreme personality changes we have all witnessed in friends and relatives over the past 5 years. I just gave it to you. A social credit system.
It’s not just cult manipulation. It’s a technologically advanced behaviour modification system.
@Paulbyjove1@Dave_Khan@jkenney@shandro Cambridge Analytica was merely the tip of the iceberg. Child’s play compared to the power technology currently affords those with access to data mines.
And it’s completely unregulated. Facebook, Twitter, Google & Silicon Valley in have succeeded in eliminating free will.
@Paulbyjove1@Dave_Khan@jkenney@shandro Few understand this capacity and very few give any credence to this ability. We all like to believe we are the masters of our own thoughts.
But psychological research has revealed we are biological beings with built in mechanisms for behavioural control.
@Paulbyjove1@Dave_Khan@jkenney@shandro Understand how those mechanisms function and you have almost unlimited potential to control the behaviour of the masses.
Combine it with personal data and the word “power” doesn’t adequately describe the capacity to shape human existence anymore.
@Paulbyjove1@Dave_Khan@jkenney@shandro That’s what paleolibertarians have been working on for 40 years. The ability to command totalitarian control of humanity in perpetuity.
None of it will happen if we don’t remove fascists from power first. That includes the corporations and faith organizations funding corrupt politicians who are engineering a global coup.
@Paulbyjove1@Dave_Khan@jkenney@shandro It’s not just the US presidency that is under threat of a coup d’état. It’s democracy and freedom of thought altogether.
I’m powerless to change anything. I’m one person screaming for 3.5 years into the wind. I knew that going in 4 yers ago.
I’ve documented it all in threads. Fully sourced. This has been planned and conducted in the open.
Because it’s so heinous, few believe it is happening.
@Paulbyjove1@Dave_Khan@jkenney@shandro Only geeks like me know what’s about to happen. Chris Vickery, Dr. Kriel, Sarah Kendzior, Dr. Timothy Snyder, Dr. Shoshana Zuboff. People who have studied fascism, Dominionism & technological capacity. We’ve all been screaming in horror for years. With very little impact.
All the appearance of choice, but the participation in voting changes nothing. Even in overwhelming popular votes. This is the electoral and political system Russia has used since Putin took power.
That is what is being engineered through gerrymandering, voter suppression, vote tampering and blatant cheating.
A tyranny of the minority.
An autocratic state controlled by theocrats, kleptocrats and oligarchs.
Kenney is a Dominionist Christian. He believes human rights are divinely bestowed by god through the “inerrant” bible. Natural law supersedes secular law. It’s not just international law rejected. He also rejects the Charter of Rights & Freedoms.
The UCP platform included a commitment to repeal human rights legislation in Alberta. And also to make access to the Alberta Human Rights Commission difficult.
Kenney believes and will legislate that human rights are bestowed by god, not man.
Kenney is incapable of altering his ideology. He so fervently believes his own rhetoric about liberty and freedom and god’s will is to let the chosen people decide for themselves as their divinely bestowed rights permit, that he will not intervene to halt COVid.
We can wait. We have example after example of American states collapsing healthcare systems to know what to expect.
This is arrogance, hubris & blind faith in divinely bestowed rights that’s preventing Kenney from acting in the interests of public health vs individual liberty.
That’s why he removed the power of the Chief Medical Officer of Health in April 2020. She unilaterally closed schools and ordered a lockdown in keeping with the rest of the nation. He stripped her of that power very shortly after.
Eventually, Biden will call in the marshals to remove Trump.
The process to remove Kenney is similar in nature. We could wait until an election 2.5 years from now. Or we could protest en masse to remove the stubborn turnip now.
My preference is now. Why allow Kenney & UCP any more opportunity to inflict policy that will kill people & exacerbate the spread of COVid? Why allow UCP the ability to claim a Public Health emergency and gain another power grab?
Law and order, broadcasting laws, the inability to outright lie in media like Fox News does. Think Hannity and you’ll know what I mean. Hannity “reports” completely bogus disinformation. Fake news that doesn’t have an ounce of truth.
@MgS_2011@brianlilley@anthonyfurey Canadian legislation limits how media portrays the far right. Because of laws put in place to keep information truthful and based on facts. But mainstream media has found a way around those laws and regulations. They need to be tightened up.
