united surveillance states follows john doe through 25 years of america’s surveillance boom.

9/11. the patriot act. palantir. flock everywhere. ai watching everything. the government rapidly destroying the american dream

all sold under the same promise:

“it’s for your safety.”

every episode is inspired by real events and the systems built around them.

THE COIN

john wasn��t forced to use the new system.

that’s the point.

his old wallet still worked. the alternative was just faster, cleaner, easier, and connected directly to his identity.

sometimes control doesn’t arrive as a restriction.

sometimes it arrives as convenience.

if this level of surveillance can be abused at the city level, imagine what can happen at the federal level.

the more surveillance power we give the government, the more important it becomes to ask who is watching the people doing the watching.

[FactPost @factpostnews]

At least 69 police officials have been accused or convicted of misusing Flock cameras to track civilians who have not been suspected of any crime.

we’re also going to start adding titles to every video.

as the library grows, we want people to be able to easily find specific episodes, topics, and stories without digging through everything we’ve posted.

more organization. more sources. more content.

making USS easier to explore and easier to understand.

[United Surveillance States @UnitedSurv]

we have some major updates coming to the website.

we want everything we talk about to be easy to verify for yourself.

more sources. more articles. more documents. more context behind every story we cover.

don’t just take our word for it. see the evidence yourself.

[United Surveillance States @UnitedSurv]

bringing awareness to flock, mass surveillance, and what happens when a government with more money than accountability is given increasingly powerful tools to watch its own citizens.

this was never about fear. it’s about paying attention before surveillance becomes so normal that nobody questions it.

Down with Flock! DeFlock! DeFlock! DeFlock!

cash still works.

but we’ve built a world where the most convenient way to pay is often the easiest way to connect a purchase back to you.

john just wanted a mega cola.

he paid cash, took his change, and left.

the transaction was complete.

his profile wasn’t.

john watched one weird video.

then another. then a rebuttal. then a response.

he wasn’t convinced. he was curious.

the system didn’t care about the difference.

by morning, curiosity had become an interest.
interest had become a category.
the category became john.

“i was just looking…”

the system knows where john goes, what he buys, who he sees, and what he does every day.

it can summarize his entire life in a few lines.

and somehow, it still doesn’t know john.

a person is more than their data.

john lived a life.

the system made a summary.

john thought he was just scrolling.

one more video. one more swipe. one more minute.

11:48 pm became 2:37 am.

the entire time, the system was learning what kept him there.

john thought he was watching the feed.

the feed was watching john.

the goal of USS isn’t fear.

it’s awareness.

we want to take things buried in articles, reports, budgets, and policies and turn them into stories normal people actually want to watch.

sometimes the easiest way to understand something serious is to laugh at how absurd it already is.

[United Surveillance States @UnitedSurv]

USS isn’t about telling people what to think.

it’s about making people notice the systems around them that have become so normal we barely question them anymore.

surveillance, algorithms, corporate slop, data collection, attention.

if john makes you laugh first and think about it later, the message worked.

thank you @AxiomExchange for resolving the DEX link issue for the website in literally seconds.

our website is a huge part of USS and how we share the content, research, and message behind the project, so having the correct link displayed on the DEX matters a lot to us.

really appreciate how quickly you guys got it fixed.

[United Surveillance States @UnitedSurv]

the link issue is officially fixed.

everything is now displaying correctly across terminals. appreciate everyone who pointed it out and stayed patient while we got it sorted.

[United Surveillance States @UnitedSurv]

quick heads up: something went wrong while we were updating our DEX information and the website link is currently displaying incorrectly.

we’re aware of it and actively getting it fixed right now.

nothing has changed with the project or the actual site. just an update issue on the DEX.

[United Surveillance States @UnitedSurv]

quick clarification: the website link issue is only showing on one terminal right now. everything else is displaying correctly.

we’re already aware of it and the fix is being worked on.

nothing has changed with the project or website. just a temporary display issue.

john was mad about ai.

a massive data center shows up. more servers. more compute. more infrastructure.

john just wants one glass of water.

then he looks at his hands.

looks at the camera.

“wait… aren’t i part of this?”

for once, the joke is on john.

and us.

BIG UPDATE! (READ):

we’re currently in talks about a endorsement from the Alternative Newsweekly Foundation, the organization our project fees are being directed to and which funds "Have I Been Flocked?".

having the people we’re directly supporting recognize what this community is doing would mean a lot.

we’ll share more when we can.

the future came to john’s city.

new factories. new rockets. new jobs. new development.

then john opened his rent notice.

the city called it growth.

the company called it progress.

john just wondered when he got a raise.

the future came to town.

so did the rent.

we covered this exact topic in an article yesterday, before polymarket posted about it.

pretty wild seeing the same conversation reach a much bigger audience less than a day later.
