My SoundCloud Page! Dope Ol Skool Cutz but more importantly my narrative of what it’s like to be on the s***-covered end of America’s “safetyism” predictive policing stick.
My MarathonView Page! I’m no Galen Rupp, merely a weekend warrior getting his participation trophy - race diaries plus some tie-in with my bigger picture of trying to put a human narrative to how prediction, prevention, biometrics, and all other forms of AI-enhanced security tear people’s lives down, even in their “happy places” and moments.
My Athlinks Page! Just results, no race diaries
I am a co-owner of an extremely…
small business! Check out the page.
…I helped build it when I was on some bizarre form of "mental health” probation. My description to psychs and POs of what I was doing was portrayed as a “delusion of grandeur” by the psychiatry and criminal justice world and my resistance to their horrific plan for my life was documented as “hostility” and “aggression” and diagnosed as “malignant narcissicm.” And all accounts of hardcore tracking tech being weaponized against me by cops and community stakeholders was a “delusion of persecution.” To all of you judging me a schizo (which feels like a gut-punch for me, it’s like being called the N-word) I would simply ask you to review the timeline. Look at the explosion of the surveillance industry, the way I actually profile (like my Soundcloud page, not the lies and lies and lies cops have written about me where apparently I look like a white nationalist on paper hahahahaha) and I think there’s a clear case to me made that I was simply explaining what was going on to people who (a) didn’t know what was going on or (b) had some personal or professional stake in suppressing “whistleblowing” as to what was, is, has been, and will apparently continue to be, going on in the realm of surveillance tech.
Long story short, Toketee was definitely a “false summit” in my life, I got to a point where things were selling well, all was smooth and easy on the heels of the most challenging conditions under which to get it going (going to my own accounts and AI-surveillance systems are flagging me as a menace to patrons doesn’t help close the wholesale deal, let me tell you), and yet nothing was changing in my real life, I was still being hunted by every cop and Karen and bigot and blue-blooded DOT guy and BS healthcare professional in America, being treated like dirt. Everytime I ship something in or out my front porch and vehicle come under surveillance. Customs / ICE flags every shipment. Customs / ICE flags me at airports and border crossings. I get hunted around every single time there’s any change to my medical record by healthcare employees, it’s so f***d. I realized nothing I do personally will ever have the leverage to match the power of the American healthcare, criminal justice, psychiatric, transportation (among others) industries’ consolidated vice grip on my life so why try? It’s one of those “careful what you wish for” things. Everytime I run a digital transaction at my street market downtown, I draw the harassing attention of asshole vigilantes, so I feel like a powerless prostitute every Saturday night … like “look, I got this money! But I also got f****d without really consenting to it.” So I chose to deemphasize it in my life, I don’t really come up with new logos or products anymore and haven’t tried for 2 years, it’s just in cruise control, as I don’t see myself ending up in Oregon anyway and that’s the only place where this has any value. I’d rather be homeless living under an overpass as a free man than continue to “succeed” as a bit player in this cottage industry under constant persecution. I really mean that, I would give literally every and anything to be surveillance-free!
Interestingly, I recently heard it suggested this page is a form of “showing off.” To whomever said that, I mean, have you read any of this stuff? I think it’s pretty tragic and heavy myself! And mostly humiliating but necessary. I guess if me posting all this crazy s*** is your definition of “showing off,” I feel quite badly for your life situation. Also I’m sure you don’t have a Facebook or Instagram account, and have never ever ever posted about anything positive in your life on those platforms for the world to see which, by your apparent standard, would be showing off. I sincerely apologize for wanting the world to know about my positive sides and happy places (all of which were taken from me by private-public “crime prevention” entities within months of posting), a few of my achievements (all of which have been severely impeded by private-public “crime prevention” entities within months of posting, via means by which if I described them now, you would not believe possible or realistic). In short, I’m trying to survive, and if I can’t, to leave behind a message that prevents this from happening to anyone else by training Americans to ALWAYS be very skeptical of “official messaging” and to think, decide, and organize, for themselves. This is NOT a “partisan” message. I am a rather Liberal American. But with a very Libertarian streak. As such, I don’t necessarily support the way the Establishment has done so-called “Far Right” extremists either, whose discontent I see more as a symptom of the real issue, which is simply the powerless not being heard or supported, or perhaps placated-but-not-actually-helped by the powerful.
“I'm not saying I'm gonna rule the world or I'm gonna change the world, but I guarantee you that I will spark the brain that will change the world. And that's our job, It's to spark somebody else watching us. We might not be the ones, but let's not be selfish and because we not gonna change the world let's not talk about how we should change it. I don't know how to change it, but I know if I keep talking about how dirty it is out here, somebody's gonna clean it up.”
