Mayor Bloomberg, New York’s renowned government nanny, and the NYPD exploited the attacks of September 11, 2001, to argue for the creation of their high-tech surveillance system. The NYPD, however, soon began to use the system for routine police work, a migration undoubtedly encouraged by its public-private partner, Microsoft. “Microsoft, as you might recall, has a great and long-standing relationship with government, law enforcement, and even intelligence agencies in the form of helping to fund fusion centers as well as provide fusion center technology,” writes Network World. The technology magazine quotes Dave Mosher, Microsoft VP in charge of program management, who admits the transnational tech corporation “is looking at smaller municipalities, law enforcement agencies and companies that handle major sporting events.” In other words, the market for surveillance extends beyond police departments and government agencies. The “multi-device ecosystem” proselytized by Microsoft and documented intelligence asset Google provides an ideal foundation for the sort of all-encompassing and artificially intelligent surveillance envisioned by the global elite. Smart cities, smart meters, smart growth — such catchy phrases pushed by sharp ad campaigns are instrumental to the lingua franca of control. infowars/microsofts-smart-cities-ideal-template-for-stasi-police-state/
