Remember Pokémon Go? You know, that cute game where you And! Battle . . . Pokeballs? . . . to capture . . . .monsters in a gym? . . . or something like that. Anyway, the point is, people went bananas over this augmented reality nonsense 8 years ago and of course those cracy conspiracy kooks at places like The Corbett Report had to rain on everyone’s parade by warning them about the app’s shady, intel-connected origins. Well . . . guess who just got proven correct again. (SPOILER: it’s the crazy conspiracy kooks who just proven correct again.)

Once I started realizing how Nintendo actually worked, I dropped it all and never looked back.
Funny thing is that I knew a church where they actually had an issue with cars pulling up and parking while the drivers battled pokemon….one of the guys tried to take over the pokestop or whatever its called to stop it.
I also was working at the library one time and heard an old black lady telling the librarian about the app on her phone that paid her money 9or some kind of crypto) to walk place. She was all enthusiastic about being remote controlled, though in her defense she probably got a ton of exercise from it and sounded like she had absolutely nothing else going on. i know some one who has a bird thing on their phone that reminds them to do stuff, its permissions are not extensive but I guess it makes a decent connections heat map as well as having a big ”mental health” component that encourages users to write little notes about how they are feeling and such.
It reminds me that that all the way back in the days of the short lived Barvarian Illuminati people were working on ways to ferret out how subjects thought so they were predictable and controllable. The members were ment to journal in a special book their supiriors kept jold of. Funny enough EM Jones says that psychoanalysis was freuds updated version of the same technique. Alledgedly Weishaupt got the idea from the jesuits.
Also amusing is that Detective ”Pikachu” turned out have a transhumanist plotline, which was quite a surprise, lol.
Thanks for the report
