I've posted about this before, but I'll do it again here. I completely agree with Max that it's "all about surveillance", but to what end? In Orwell's "1984", O'Brien (the inner party official who "befriends" Winston - this is Trump btw), tells Winston that his suspicions are correct - that "Big Brother" is a gigantic psyop aimed at control. When Winston asks "why"?, O'Brien tells him that it is "power for power's sake".

That's where Orwell failed to understand the next step. HousatonicITS (Mark Kulacz) seems to have figured out WHY "it's all about surveillance". Lab monkeys are expensive, and in the end there's no guarantee that what "works" (for good or ill, literally) on monkeys will work in the same way on humans. Thus, HUMAN "lab monkeys" are the best test subjects. But they must be, as lab monkeys are, restricted as to their movements, diet, et cetera, to produce meaningful results. By limiting our movements, homogenizing our diets, we become the perfect "next generation lab monkeys" for the sociopaths' experiments. The obvious guess is that the sociopaths, who are jealous of creation, feel that they may supersede the works of the Creator and thus become immortal. They shake their fist at the heavens and have no qualms about defiling the works of the Creator in their war upon the Creator. We'll see how that goes....
