#USA #DHS Wants a Single Search Engine to Flag Faces and Fingerprints Across Agencies

On February 3, 2026, President Trump signed Public Law 119-75, the Consolidated Appropriations Act, which preserved funding for Section 24220 of the 2021 Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act. This mandate requires all new passenger vehicles starting with model year 2027 to include advanced impaired driving prevention technology that passively monitors drivers and can disable vehicles if impairment is detected.

The House rejected Rep. Thomas Massie's defunding amendment 164 to 268 on January 22, with 57 Republicans joining 211 Democrats to keep the mandate funded. The No Kill Switches in Cars Act, introduced by Rep. Scott Perry to repeal Section 24220 outright, has a 2 percent chance of passing committee according to GovTrack analysis.

Two technologies under development through the DADSS program include breath-based sensors using infrared analysis and touch-based systems using tissue spectroscopy to measure blood alcohol through skin contact. After 18 years of development, NHTSA told the Associated Press in February 2026 it is still assessing developing technologies, and Congress is advancing a bill offering a $45 million prize for the first consumer-ready system.

Former Congressman Bob Barr identified critical privacy concerns including always-on monitoring, vehicle control access for disabling, and backdoor access for third parties. The Alliance for Automotive Innovation warned regulators that even a 1 in 10,000 false positive rate would strand thousands of unimpaired drivers daily. Vehicle telematics abuse is already documented in court: GM settled with the FTC over sharing driving data with brokers, Toyota faces a Wiretap Act class action in Texas, and Allstate's subsidiary Arity was caught collecting driving data from 40 million mobile connections every 15 seconds through unrelated apps.

How 53mb of code EXPOSED #Discord overnight…

On February 16, things took an extremely dark turn as researchers stumbled across 53 megabytes of exposed code that would open an insane rabbit hole forever, involving ties to mass #surveillance, #OpenAI, and even the USA government

Whitney Webb:

Won't it be fun with "X Money" launches next month, and then they can cancel your account and steal your money after you criticize war crimes that Big Tech is complicit in?
Please be smarter and keep your finances off of Musk's would-be "everything app" as much as you possibly can.

Quoting Alan MacLeod (@AlanRMacLeod)
Anonymous X users are reporting their full names are being Googled in Israel after they criticized its war crimes.

Many link it to X's use of Au10tix ID verification software - an Israeli company founded and staffed by "ex"-Israeli spies.

#Tether is not just a stablecoin, it has huge investments in brain-machine interfaces, data centers, satellite #surveillance (tied to #lutnick also), content creation and much much more.
It will not only be a key part of the basis of the new digital dollar (which @markgoodw_in called back in 2021 when it was still an unpopular talking point), it is also meant to be an entire ecosystem for technocratic control.

For past reporting from Mark and I on Tether see tweets below

LATEST: @Tether CEO @PaoloArdoino is set to speak at a conference and attend a gala luncheon with Donald Trump at Mar-a-Lago.

🇵🇸How Cisco Quietly Became Part of Israel’s Military and Surveillance Infrastructure | Boycat Times

Most people have never thought about #Cisco.But if you search online for “boycott Cisco”, “Cisco Israel”, or “Cisco #Palestine,” you will quickly find a growing controversy surrounding the company.

Cisco, one of the largest internet infrastructure companies in the world, has been accused by human rights researchers and #activists of providing #technology used in Israeli military #networks, #surveillance systems in Jerusalem, and data infrastructure connected to the war in #Gaza.

These claims have led the Palestinian-led Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions (#BDS) movement to list Cisco as an official boycott target.Cisco does not build weapons.
It builds the internet’s plumbing.
The routers, switches, servers, and communication systems that move data around the world.Hospitals rely on it. Universities rely on it..

Google Deploys Gemini on Dark Web

Google has integrated #Gemini-based #AI agents into its dark web monitoring infrastructure, with the company claiming the system can analyze millions of daily events at 98 percent accuracy. The capability is positioned as an expansion of existing threat intelligence pipelines, applying large language model agents to data sources previously handled by conventional automated tools.

According to the Register report, the deployment scales dark web surveillance capacity without proportional increases in human analyst involvement. This follows a structural pattern across major platform operators: replacing or augmenting tier-one analyst functions with LLM-based triage at ingestion volume that manual workflows cannot sustain.

Age Verification Isn’t What You Think (New Investigation) | Tech, Privacy, News Explained

A new OSINT-based investigation is raising serious questions about how age verification systems actually work.

These systems are often presented as simple checks — “are you over 18?” — but this report suggests something much broader may already be in place.

Surveillance Findings: Age Verification as Mass Surveillance Infrastructure - TBOTE Project

Age verification laws in Brazil, the United Kingdom, and the United States are creating mandatory markets for #BiometricIdentity verification infrastructure that doubles as #surveillance. The same investor, Peter Thiel, simultaneously controls the surveillance analytics company (#Palantir) and funds the identity verification company (Persona via Founders Fund). A coordinated legislative pipeline creates the legal demand for these services across borders. The identity verification ecosystem is now converging with the AI agent infrastructure..

FBI’s New Political Pre-Crime Center Is Dedicated to "Hunting" Americans Opposed To MAGA |The Free Thought Project

The Trump administration via the FBI is working tirelessly designate any ideology outside of the #MAGA-sphere as "domestic terrorism", giving the green light to drastically expand illegal domestic #surveillance and the targeting of political dissidents.

Now, Trump’s budget request reveals, the #FBI runs a dedicated “NSPM-7 Joint Mission Center”; with personnel from 10 federal agencies, it is busy “proactively” identifying domestic terrorists motivated by any of the following beliefs:

“anti-Americanism,”
“anti-capitalism,”
“anti-Christianity,”
“support for the overthrow of the U.S. Government,”
“extremism on migration,”
extremism on “race,”
extremism on “gender,”
“Hostility towards those who hold traditional American views on family,”
Hostility towards those who hold traditional American views on “religion,” and
Hostility towards those who hold traditional views on “morality.”
