Forget Facebook: China Now Mines Data Directly From Workers’ Brain

Orwell was a Neanderthal at surveillance compared to what Technocrats in China are currently implementing: brain-wave sensors that continuously monitor your emotions and state-of-mind. While offered as a ‘worker safety’ technique, there is no comfort to be taken from this draconian application to control human behavior.

On the surface, the production lines at Hangzhou Zhongheng Electric look like any other.

Workers outfitted in uniforms staff lines producing sophisticated equipment for telecommunication and other industrial sectors.

But there’s one big difference – the workers wear caps to monitor their brainwaves, data that management then uses to adjust the pace of production and redesign workflows, according to the company.

The company said it could increase the overall efficiency of the workers by manipulating the frequency and length of break times to reduce mental stress.

Hangzhou Zhongheng Electric is just one example of the large-scale application of brain surveillance devices to monitor people’s emotions and other mental activities in the workplace, according to scientists and companies involved in the government-backed projects.

Concealed in regular safety helmets or uniform hats, these lightweight, wireless sensors constantly monitor the wearer’s brainwaves and stream the data to computers that use artificial intelligence algorithms to detect emotional spikes such as depression, anxiety or rage.

The technology is in widespread use around the world but China has applied it on an unprecedented scale in factories, public transport, state-owned companies and the military to increase the competitiveness of its manufacturing industry and to maintain social...

MUSLIM AFRICAN IMMIGRANT COUPLE BRING SLAVERY TO AMERICA: KEPT GIRL AS SLAVE, BEAT AND TORTURED HER

SOUTHLAKE, TX (New York Daily News) – The son of the first president of a West African country and his wife enslaved a woman for 16 years before she escaped, authorities say.

Mohamed Toure and Denise Cros-Toure arranged for the victim, believed to be 5 years old at the time, to travel alone from her village in Guinea to Texas in 2000, according to an affidavit filed with the federal complaint.

The couple forced the victim, who did not speak English, to work long hours in their Southlake home without pay, according to a Department of Justice press release. She was forced to cook, clean, do laundry, perform yardwork, paint and care for the couple’s first children, according to authorities.

Investigators say the victim was also denied access to schooling and other opportunities “afforded” to the other kids, even though she was close to them in age.

Additionally, the suspects allegedly took the girl’s documents and caused her to remain unlawfully in the U.S. after her visa expired.

The couple physically and emotionally abused her, according to authorities. She was beaten and was assaulted with a belt and electrical cord, according to the Washington Post.

At times she would be locked out of the house and would be forced to spend nights in the park, according to the newspaper. She was found sleeping on a bench once.

She was “wearing dirty unkempt clothing and was very visibly scared and nervous,” a police officer wrote, according to the Washington Post. He returned her to the home even though he did not understand why the couple did not call 911, according to the newspaper.

The victim did not know her own age because the suspects never gave her a birthday party, according to the Washington Post.

The victim was able to escape in...

On Monday, the Associated Press was forced to delete a factually inaccurate tweet that promoted a lie about the NRA which originated from far-left Parkland activists.

In a now-deleted tweet, The Associated Press wrote: "NRA bans guns at President Trump, VP Pence speeches during it's annual meeting in Dallas."

The lie started when far-left activist Cameron Kasky tweeted a photo of an NRA announcement that stated that firearms would not be permitted at the convention due to the attendance of Pence, and then proceeded to mock the gun rights organization over the statement.

The media then promoted the lie as several news organizations and far-left activists attacked the NRA over the apparent hypocrisy. The Secret Service and the NRA both responded to the claims by saying the NRA did not have jurisdiction over the event and it was the Secret Service's call to prohibit weapons at the event where Trump and Pence were speaking.

The Associated Press quickly deleted their tweet and issued a correction stating: "AP has deleted a tweet that incorrectly said the NRA had banned guns during Trump and Pence speeches at its annual meeting. The ban was put in place by the Secret Service. A corrected tweet is coming."

The new tweet from the Associated Press correctly stated: "NRA members can bring their guns during most of the annual meeting in Dallas – but not while Trump and Pence are speaking. The Secret Service has barred them during their speeches."

Ammunition giant Hornady is cutting off government buyers in New York over an order by New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo to financial services companies regarding gun politics.

Steve Hornady, the company’s president of manufacturing, announced on social media on Friday that the ammo maker will halt sales of their products to Cuomo’s state government or agencies in the Empire State. The move comes after an order directed by Cuomo earlier last month that cautioned banks, insurance companies and lenders against involvement with the National Rifle Association and similar organizations. Slamming the Governor’s move as one of the most “despicable acts ever perpetrated by any state,” Hornady closed the doors to the state.

“While it may not make a difference to New York, Hornady will not knowingly allow our ammunition to be sold to the Government of the State of NY or any NY agencies,” Hornady said. “Their actions are a blatant and disgusting abuse of office and we won’t be associated with a government that acts like that.”

The guidance issued by Cuomo came from the state’s Department of Financial Services on April 19 in the form of official letters to all DFS-regulated insurers and banks in the state. In the missives, Financial Services Superintendent Maria Vullo urged financial institutions to examine their relationships with the NRA and organizations that promote guns to take “prompt actions to manage these risks” when it came to protecting their corporate reputations. Pointing to the public backlash on gun rights groups and firearm companies in the wake of a high-profile mass shootings that have dominated the news cycle, Vullo encouraged those regulated by her agency that “Corporations are demonstrating that business can lead the way and bring about the kind of positive social change needed to minimize the chance that we will witness more of these senseless tragedies.”

In recent weeks, big-name lenders such as Citi and Bank of America have adopted new policies that could see them cut ties with partnering businesses unwilling to adopt new policies for selling firearms or manufacturing some types of semi-automatic guns — which has in turn brought calls for more regulatory oversight of the institutions with respect to government contracts.

Hornady is one of the premier ammunition suppliers to law enforcement in the country. The company recently was awarded a $19 million contract to provide a new generation of ...
