Police in Canada Are Tracking People’s ‘Negative’ Behavior In a ‘Risk’ Database’ and US Post Office Spying On You
Sunday, March 3rd, 2019
Government surveillance is increasing. Notice the following:
Canada Creates ‘Risk Tracking Database’ with Disturbing Parallels to China’s Social Credit System
Canada has assembled a “Risk-Driven Tracking Database” (RTD) that collates a great deal of information about people who are vulnerable to crime and misfortune, making them known to social service agencies and law enforcement so they can benefit from proactive services.
The benevolent goal of the program is to find at-risk people before they are victimized or harm themselves, but the resulting system has disturbing parallels to the decidedly non-benevolent “social credit system” created by China’s pervasive surveillance state. https://www.breitbart.com/national-security/2019/02/28/canada-creates-risk-tracking-database-disturbing-parallels-chinas-social-credit-system/
Whatever happened to Canada, our sweet little sister to the North? Well, for one thing, she elected a foaming-at-the-mouth, stark raving Liberal as their leader. Under his auspices, Canada has passed a bill into law making it a crime to use the wrong pronoun when addressing transgenders, partnered with Google to create the first Mark Of The Beast surveillance ‘smart city, and voted to legalize beastiality. Not satisfied to rest on the laurels of these dubious accomplishments, Trudeau’s Canada is now instituting pre-crime prevention, like from the movie ‘Minority Report‘.
China’s bizarre ‘Social Credit System‘ … showed … much it had it common with the coming Mark Of The Beast world system? Well, Canada’s Risk-driven Tracking Database is very similar to that …
Police in Canada Are Tracking People’s ‘Negative’ Behavior In a ‘Risk’ Database
FROM VICE: Documents obtained by Motherboard from Ontario’s Ministry of Community Safety and Correctional Services (MCSCS) through an access to information request show that at least two provinces—Ontario and Saskatchewan—maintain a “Risk-driven Tracking Database” that is used to amass highly sensitive information about people’s lives. …
he Risk-driven Tracking Database (RTD) is part of a collaborative approach to policing called the Hub model that partners cops, school staff, social workers, health care workers, and the provincial government.
These “pre-crime” interventions can often be a simple chat, but many involve minors, and some end in forced hospitalization or arrest. The Hub model is now in use in more than 100 cities across Canada.
Information about people believed to be “at risk” of becoming criminals or victims of harm is shared between civilian agencies and police and is added to the database when a person is being evaluated for a rapid intervention intended to lower their risk levels. 03/02/19 https://www.nowtheendbegins.com/canada-recording-negative-behaviour-citizens-risk-driven-tracking-database-pre-crime-mark-of-the-beast-end-times/
My wife and I saw the movie ‘Minority Report.’ In it, government agents would arrest people for crimes that the government said they would commit in the future. Here is some information about it:
Minority Report is a 2002 American neo-noir science fiction action film[5][6] directed by Steven Spielberg and loosely based on the short story “The Minority Report” by Philip K. Dick. It is set primarily in Washington, D.C., and Northern Virginia in the year 2054, where PreCrime, a specialized police department, apprehends criminals based on foreknowledge provided by three psychics called “precogs“. (Wikipedia, retrieved 03/03/19)
We are getting closer to that type of thing in many parts of the world–but instead of ‘precogs” being used, police profiles, internal espionage, and ‘artificial intelligence ‘ are getting involved.
What governments are working on are not the way to stop crime. We have a sermon on crime that some may wish to watch: Crime and How it Will be Stopped!
As far as Canada goes, it has taken away various freedoms, and like many other governments, is moving towards more monitoring, like an Orwellian society.
As far as China goes, check out the recent post: Is China’s Social Credit System A Preview Of The Coming “Beast System”?, AI ‘Robot Wife,’ and ‘Chicago’s vast camera network’.
What about the USA?
Notice the following:
It’s called the “Mail Cover Program” and it’s run by the U.S. Postal Service (USPS). Yes, even the Post Office is spying on us, writes John Kiriakou.
February 28, 2019
The Mail Cover Program allows postal employees to photograph and send to federal law enforcement organizations (FBI, DHS, Secret Service, etc.) the front and back of every piece of mail the Post Office processes. It also retains the information digitally and provides it to any government agency that wants it—without a warrant. … the Postal Service doesn’t have to answer to anybody – my attorneys, my judge, even its own Inspector General. It doesn’t need a warrant to spy on me (or my family) and it doesn’t have to answer even to a member of Congress who might inquire as to why the spying was happening in the first place.
The problem is not just the sinister nature of a government agency (or quasi-government agency) spying on individuals with no probable cause or due process, although those are serious problems. It’s that the program is handled so poorly and so haphazardly that in some cases surveillance was initiated against individuals for no apparent law enforcement reason and that surveillance was initiated by Postal Service employees not even authorized to do so. Again, there is no recourse because the people under surveillance don’t even know that any of this is happening. https://consortiumnews.com/2019/02/28/john-kiriakou-neither-rain-sleet-nor-snow-will-stop-the-post-office-from-spying-on-you/
Let me add that banks in the USA, Canada, and around the world are also expected to spy on account holders.
And then there is ‘Artificial Intelligence’ (bolding below mine):
March 1, 2019
It is nearly impossible to traverse web news or popular media today without being assaulted by vast amounts of propaganda on Artificial Intelligence (AI). …
The globalists have long held AI as a kind of holy grail in centralization technology. The United Nations has adopted numerous positions and even summits on the issue, including the “AI For Good” summit in Geneva. The UN insinuates that its primary interest in AI is in regulation or observation of how it is exploited, but the UN also has clear goals to use AI to its advantage. The use of AI as a means to monitor mass data to better institute “sustainable development” is written clearly in the UN’s agenda.
The IMF is also in on the AI trend, holding global discussions on the uses of AI in economics as well as the effects of algorithms on economic analysis. …
The globalist desire for the technology is not as simple as some might assume, however. They have strategic reasons, but also religious reasons for placing AI on an ideological pedestal. …
The actual effectiveness of AI as a means to help humanity is questionable. AI is primarily about “learning algorithms”, or machines that are programmed to learn from experience. The problem is that a learning algorithm is only as effective as the human beings that program it in the first place. …
The goal is to gauge and eventually “predict” public behavior. …
This all boils down to the idea that AI will one day be able to identify criminals before they ever commit an actual crime. In other words, AI is meant to become an “all seeing eye” that not only monitors our behavior, but also reads our minds as a force for pre-crime identification.
The question is not whether AI can actually tell us who is a future criminal. AI is obviously incapable of accurately predicting a person’s behavior to such a degree. The question is, WHO is setting the standards that AI is looking for when identifying potential “criminals”? http://www.alt-market.com/articles/3674-the-real-reason-why-globalists-are-so-obsessed-with-artificial-intelligence
Yes, Artificial Intelligence (AI) programming is flawed in many ways. But it looks to be a way that governments intend to ‘manage’ massive surveillance data. AI will be used in ‘crime control.’
Crimes that do not now exist, like buying and selling without the Mark of the Beast (Revelation 13:16-18) will seemingly involve Artificial Intelligence. Related to that, we put together a couple of videos:
Billionaire Elon Musk declared he was worried that artificial intelligence (AI) may lead to the rise of an “immortal dictator,” a “godlike” entity that could take over the world. Is this accurate, or at least, close in some ways? Does Bible prophecy foretell of the rise of an immoral leader who considers himself above all gods? Will this result in great destruction? What is AI? How might it fit in with various prophecies? Was the increase in technological knowledge we now have prophesied over 2000 years ago? Will 666’s control over buying and selling involve any form of AI? Dr. Thiel goes over many scriptures, including prophetic ones, that involve human knowledge–which is the basis of AI. He also points out that when various prophesies were made, there was no technology capable of fulfilling them, but that because of computers, such ability exists now. Dr. Thiel also points out what Jesus will do about it.

17:29
In 2016, the journal of Science published a paper that claims that crowdsourcing and artificial intelligence was the best way to deal with complex “wicked problems” like disease and climate change facing humanity. Is that possible or a false gospel? Is groupthink the answer? What does the Bible teach? What are real “wicked problems” and what does the Bible teach are real solutions?
A written article of related interest is titled: Study claims artificial intelligence and crowdsourcing will solve ‘wicked problems’ in the 21st century.

Bible prophecy shows that a militaristic European dictator will arise and his supporters will apparently use something like AI.
Of course, human enforcement will also be needed, and we recently put together a video on that:
The European Union is in the process of establishing the European Public Prosecutor’s Office.This is a major, first-of-its-kind move, with the EU setting up a European-wide prosecutor’s office that will have power to investigate and charge people for financial crimes committed against the EU. It looks like this type of office may end up persecuting those that do not have the mark of the Beast when they “buy or sell” as that will later be considered a financial crime in Europe. What does 666 mean? How has that name be calculated? How can we be certain that this is a prophecy for Europe and not Islam? Is the appointment of this new office of significant prophetic importance? Dr. Thiel addresses these issues and more by pointing to scriptures, news items, and historical accounts.
Here is a link to the sermonette video: EU Setting Up 666 Enforcer?
As far as an Orwellian society goes, we put together the following video:
In 1949, the late George Orwell wrote a disturbing book about a totalitarian government called “nineteen-eighty four.” Despite laws that are supposed to protect freedom of speech and religion, we are seeing governments taking steps consistent with those that Geroge Orwell warned against. We are also seeing this in the media, academia, and in private companies like Google, Facebook, and Twitter. With the advent of technology, totalitarianism beyond what Orwell wrote is possible. Does the Bible teach the coming a totalitarian state similar to George Orwell’s? What about the Antichrist and 666? Will things get worse? What is the solution? Dr. Thiel answers these questions and more. A written article of related interest is titled “Totalitarian controls getting closer–The Guardian pushing internet censorship.”
Here is a link to our video: Orwell’s 1984 by 2024?
As far as a ‘surveillance police state’ goes, this is something that Church of God writers have expected for some time.
Decades ago, an article titled ENTERING THE AGE OF TERROR in the old Plain Truth magazine in June 1977 said that as a response to terrorism we may see “
Notice the following from the Bible:
1 Hear my voice, O God, in my meditation;
Preserve my life from fear of the enemy.
2 Hide me from the secret plots of the wicked,
From the rebellion of the workers of iniquity,
3 Who sharpen their tongue like a sword,
And bend their bows to shoot their arrows — bitter words,
4 That they may shoot in secret at the blameless;
Suddenly they shoot at him and do not fear.5 They encourage themselves in an evil matter;
They talk of laying snares secretly;
They say, “Who will see them?”
6 They devise iniquities:
“We have perfected a shrewd scheme.”
Both the inward thought and the heart of man are deep. (Psalms 64:1-6)
And while you might think that if you have done nothing wrong, you have nothing to fear from surveillance, consider that many in the government of the USA consider that not supporting homosexual marriages, etc. are extremist. I also saw someone once on a documentary that stated that people who believed in the millennium could not be trusted and should be considered as potential terrorists. The fact that we in the Continuing Church of God would be considered pacifists, does not change the fact that since we hold to millennial and other biblical views that we will not be improperly classified by government employees with various agendas.
Having biblical views are becoming more problematic in the USA, as well as in China, Canada, and in Europe.
The governments of the world are continuing to move towards becoming more totalitarian.
This will not end well for them (cf. Revelation 19). But the good news is that then we will see the Kingdom of God.

Will the internet be a factor in the ‘short work’ of Romans 9:28 and the coming ‘famine of the word’ that the Prophet Amos warned about? Will internet control be something that the 666 power will have? Dr. Thiel addresses these matters and more in this video.
