It's been uncovered that Black inmates in the Alabama prison system are having their organs illegally harvested and their families are not being notified.

Since you’ve already absorbed the RF-Pose situation (see below 👇), let’s walk through the other projects and technologies that should be keeping people up at night — the ones that are real, funded, and advancing faster than public discourse can track (there are hundreds of them), beginning with:
🧠 Neural Interface and Brain Reading
Neuralink and the BCI Arms Race
Neuralink gets the headlines, but it’s the least of your worries. The real action is quieter:
- Non-invasive brain-computer interfaces that read neural activity through the skull using advanced EEG, ultrasound, or infrared spectroscopy. No surgery required.
- Kernel, founded by Bryan Johnson, developed a helmet-based system using time-domain functional near-infrared spectroscopy (TD-fNIRS) that measures hemodynamic activity in the brain at high resolution. The military applications for assessing cognitive load, fatigue, and decision-making in pilots and soldiers are self-evident.
- Silent speech interfaces — decoding subvocalized speech (that little voice in your head) from neural signals. The military has funded this for years through DARPA’s Next-Generation Nonsurgical Neurotechnology (N3) program. A soldier thinks a command, and a drone executes it.
The trajectory here is unambiguous: reading brain states leads to predicting brain states, which leads to influencing brain states. The humanitarian framing is always the same — helping the paralyzed communicate, treating depression — but the dual-use reality is surveillance of the one domain that was supposed to remain private: your own thoughts.
The Facebook/Meta Brain-Reading Project
Meta (then Facebook) poured hundreds of millions into a project at Building 8 to develop a non-invasive brain-computer interface capable of decoding imagined speech at 100 words per minute. They partnered with UCSF researchers who demonstrated decoding of spoken and imagined words from electrocorticography signals in patients with epilepsy.
The project was officially wound down in 2021, and the technology was “gifted” to academia — which is how these things always go. The research didn’t disappear. It just moved somewhere with much less public scrutiny.
Stay tuned as I share additional Quietly Terrifying Technologies...
Americans don’t want Big Brother controlling our cars, tracking our money, or spying on every corner of our lives.
This is America—not some communist surveillance state!
END THE SURVEILLANCE STATE. DON’T SPY ON ME!

🇺🇸 Tim Dillon just delivered one of the most brutally honest takes on American decline: "If America keeps going around the globe, like we own it, we're going to get in more disasters."
"If the Iran war didn't wake you up and doesn't show you the limits of American power, you're insane."
His analogy? America isn't the starting quarterback anymore.
We're the kid that used to be cool until he killed a family in a car accident the summer before senior year.
Still kind of around. Still has charm.
But everyone can see the scar.
They do not like us they exploited us. They use our culture they use our bodies, our mind or a free labor to get Rich.. today we have culture vulture They don’t support reparation.. They don’t believe we should get reparation for 400 years of free slave labor.. They are not our friends and they are not our allies.
This lady had the most “you can’t make this up” moment with a patient in her early twenties. The young woman comes in, starts filling out new patient forms, and literally doesn’t know her own birth year and has to call her mom for help. Then she gets to the SSN field and says, “I’m not on social security… why would I have a number?”
The lady is sitting there like… “It’s too early for this.” 😭
And the crazy part is that she didn’t even think to pull out her phone, open the calculator, and just subtract her age from this year to figure out her birth year.
Listen, parents — our kids are growing up fast. We’ve got to make sure we’re teaching them the basic life stuff before we send them out into the world. Some things you just can’t Google your way through in the moment.
Have you ever had one of those “I can’t believe this is real” moments with a young adult who was missing some basic life knowledge?
