The US Now Has More Unemployed People than Job Openings

This is the same Clearview AI that received startup funding from Peter Theil, and whose facial recognition system was used to hunt down the J6 protesters. And dont think for one second they wont be compiling data on everyone is the operational areas while using this. But I guess as long as those impoverished brown people have their lives ruined even more, what's a little total surveillance?
ICE awards Clearview AI $9.2M facial recognition contract
Clearview AI’s technology allows law enforcement to match faces against a database of billions of images scraped from the Internet has long drawn scrutiny from privacy advocates and lawmakers.
Critics have warned that the software’s reach risks turning every online photo into potential law enforcement fodder without individuals’ consent. Civil liberties organizations have also challenged the government’s practice of awarding such contracts without competition or public debate, raising concerns about transparency and oversight.

The U.S. Government Is Waging Psychological War on Its Citizens: Inside the Deep State’s PsyOps Machine
From viral memes to military-grade influence operations, the government is waging a full-spectrum psychological war—not against foreign enemies but against its own citizens.
The goal? Compliance. Control. Conformity.
The battlefield is no longer physical—it is psychological—and the American people are the targets.
From AI-manipulated narratives and National Guard psyops to loyalty scorecards for businesses, the Deep State’s war on truth and independent thought is no longer covert. It is coordinated, calculated, and by design.
Yet while both major parties—long in service to the Deep State—have weaponized mass communication to shape public opinion, the Trump administration is elevating it into a new art form that combines meme warfare, influencer psyops, and viral digital content to control narratives and manufacture consensus.
In doing so, President Trump and his influencers are capitalizing on a propaganda system long cultivated by the security-industrial complex.
What we’re witnessing is not just propaganda. It is psychological warfare.
