Jack- an enormous tip of the hat to your work here. As an older white guy, I’ve decided to try to be like the canary in the coal mine a bit to test the depth of this surveillance penetration. My front-facing windows and doors are all anti-trump and pro-democracy memes. My LinkedIn profile contains my home town. My Substack profile is clearly anti-regime. I’ve got my phone camera ready to record if anyone comes a knocking.
They are all dangerous Jack; Ellison, Thiel, Musk, Metaman; all disciples of the modern day Rasputin, Curtis Yarvin's unitary executive theory. The ploy to bring Orewells, dystopian 1984 into reality. Ice contracts with Penlink- collect and analyze massive amounts of internet and social media communications data in realtime; giving Ice unprecedented ability to track, map, and analyze individuals movements and networks without a warrant. Graphite; an invasive spyware platform can penetrate Signal and turn your phone into a surveillance tool using the camera and microphone. ( thank you Olga Lautman for the heads up)
At my last visit with my PCP, they asked to record the encounter using AI technology in order to have "more accurate notes." I wondered if I should agree to that, and then wondered if it really mattered because if they're using this technology for in-person visits, they already have ALL of my info in the MyChart data base. It's not really private at all.
a) I deeply believe the current president and his gang (those Congress approved + those merely appointed + most of Congress itself) are amoral, to put it mildly.
b) there are others with whom I disagree on most individual issues but for whom I have unwavering respect; Liz Cheney is an example.
My question: is Ellison a moral, principled person along the lines of Liz mentioned in (b) above or, an unprincipled, amoral paskudnik as the crowd mentioned in (a) above?
Ok, I’m happy to say that I understood most of this, and I attribute that to the fact that I began working in healthcare waaaay back when everything was written by hand, in smaller offices, even the doctors’ notes. The larger places had tiny little tapes that were transcribed into physical charts, doctors signed off physically. THEN the transitions began. All kinds of things could no longer be counted on. I’m glad my work shifted out of the offices and into direct patient care.
I wonder how much of his surveillance was used at Quantico? I have visions of every member of the military being scanned constantly while both kegs breath and 🍊💩 spoke, to judge their reactions to every statement made. Makes it easier to later decide who stays and who goes.
Ellison owns Lanai (an Island of the shores of Maui a State of Hawai’i Island), previously run by Dole Pineapple then Murdock. Not sure if Murdock still owns 2% of Lanai (transmission lines = electric company); Musk flew out to visit Ellison (unsure of timeline); Ellison’s ‘son’ owns SkyDance and due to connections paid $8 Billion for the Paramount Merger.
Hawai’i’s linear monopoly includes it’s electric companies (biggest shareholder is Vanguard [Hawai’i Island used called its leg Helco : sane phone number in Hilo: (808) 969-6666]); a bank (believed to be American Savings), a shipping company (Hawái’i could be fairly self sufficient except for the fact most goods are imported), believed to be Young Brothers - which wants Hawai’i PUC to allow rates to be raised!) and Ellison doesn’t care about anyone because if he did the Maui hires that decimated Lahaina would be put back together by now. Enough said. Peace out.

I hope I am able to convey my thoughts on this.

Also, what happens when Ellison is no longer controlling the levers? His son? Board of directors?

All of that makes this easier for me to grasp.
I still want to cry having read this.
Yeah, I’m gonna have to.
