Private companies are deploying AI-powered surveillance networks across U.S. cities by contracting directly with businesses, bypassing municipal oversight and public review — with police later accessing footage from systems they never approved or purchased. This represents a significant step toward the kind of total, inescapable population monitoring that Bible prophecy describes as a hallmark of the coming global control system, where no one can buy, sell, or move without being tracked. Revelation 13:16-17 describes a system of absolute control over individuals, and the infrastructure for such oversight is now being built quietly, outside democratic accountability.
