Mercedes Benz Stadium in Atlanta recently welcomed the introduction of “Benzie the Dronedog,” a robot that has facial-recognition capabilities and will patrol the stadium to keep an eye on fans. Benzie will monitor 11 acres around the stadium, continuously uploading real-time video of everything and everyone he sees. He has night-vision capabilities, can read license-plates and sniff for explosives. But is he armed?
No, not yet anyway.
According to The Atlanta Business Chronicle, which broke the story last week, this robot dog will be unleashed on the fans of the Atlanta Falcons when the NFL season starts this month.
The A.I.-powered robot is designed and manufactured by Boston Dynamics and deployed by Evolv Technology, which brags in a propaganda video that this creepy robot will “make guests feel safer at Mercedes Benz stadium.”
Here’s another video put out by the stadium owners.
These are the same type of robots, mind you, that are used in cities across China to boss people around on behalf of their rulers, the Chinese Communist Party. They scan people’s faces everywhere they go and demand a clear shot of your face if it is hidden. But here in America, we don’t see a fierce robot dog barking orders, we see a friendly puppy dog. We’re made to believe it will be “like walking into a friend’s house,” the video above says.
In China, some of the robot dogs have been seen armed with guns capable of shooting a disobedient citizen. Oh, but that will never happen in America. We’re too civilized for that. Our robots are friendly. We take selfies with them and even dance with them.
Sportskeeda noted that in February, during a pre-Super Bowl concert, performing artist Jason Derulo danced with robodogs on stage, at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona.
And the feedback from fans in Atlanta, the stadium owners say, has been “off the charts positive.”
Remember, these transhumanist technocratic mouthpieces ALWAYS use the same language whenever they roll out a new tool to control the masses. It’s always one of three words that can be guaranteed to be included in their slick PR campaigns: Safety. Security. Convenience.
Evolv is no different. They will tell any lie to the ignorant masses while laughing all the way to the bank at how stupid most Americans, and most Westerners in general, can actually be.
Here is what Evolv says on its website:
“Evolv understands that there needs to be a better way. Through a combination of powerful sensor technology, proven AI, and comprehensive insights, Evolv is transforming the way in which people move through life. We can now screen for threats at an unparalleled ease and speed with digital insights that continually improve a security posture.”
Isn’t it nice to know that companies like Evolv are out there “transforming” the way we move through life? Did they ask us if we want our way of life “transformed?” No, but they sure are getting rich off forcing this on us, then telling us how much we will love our slavery.
Evolve brags that it is using artificial intelligence to “make the world a safer place.”
Do you ever wonder that with so many tech firms out there like Evolv bragging about how they keep us safe and secure, why does the world never get safer or more secure? In fact, the opposite is happening.
Arthur M. Blank, owner of Sports & Entertainment LLC, which owns the Mercedes Benz stadium, says the deployment of Benzie the robot is part of a wider push by the Arthur M. Blank Family of Businesses “to become an early-adopter of new modern technologies throughout the stadium.” That’s a fancy way of saying there will be more artifical intelligence taking over human jobs and monitoring every move of those humans who remain.
“We have to innovate continuously,” Blank said. “Do you want to work out here at 2 a.m.? It didn’t replace a human. We want to make that clear. We actually added by getting him. I’d rather this be out there. For us it’s a walking body cam.”
Blank is one of those businessmen who’s brilliant at making money but has zero awareness of how these types of structural changes in societies lead to tyranny. Maybe he does understand the big picture but doesn’t care, as long as the slaves keep showing up to watch his circus acts.
Eric Young, Mercedes-Benz Stadium’s director of physical security and parking, seems a little more honest than Blank. He admitted, “that Benzie’s introduction looks a little dystopian and comes out of a sci-fi police state. It’s like the Terminator … It’s creepy.”
The robot, manufactured by Boston Dynamics, is remotely controlled by Asylon, a robotics firm that offers perimeter security for companies including the U.S. Air Force.
According to ABC, “An Asylon operator stationed in Philadelphia maneuvers Benzie, dubbed a DroneDog, from sunset to sunrise. It sends real-time video with 1080p color and night vision capabilities to security monitors inside the stadium. Its battery lasts 1.5 hours, and it runs in half-hour shifts. The machine docks and charges in an air-conditioned ‘dog house.’”
Moreover, “Benzie is meant to tackle dull, dirty and dangerous tasks — lower-level functions like aimlessly patrolling the graveyard shift looking for nefarious acts. They are not meant for the human condition,” Michael Quiroga, Asylon’s chief revenue officer, said in a statement.
What an arrogant statement. I know guys who thrive in exactly the type of jobs that the elitist Mr. Quiroga dismisses as “dull and dirty.”
The robot can also read license plates and sniff for explosives and narcotics, according to the manufacturer’s website. It was designed for military purposes and yet here we are, in 2023, celebrating their roll out in civilian settings.
Robot dogs have been rolled out by police departments in New York City, Los Angeles, throughout the United Kingdom and, of course, in China. There’s a fine line between the robot dogs used by police and those used by militaries. If the pattern of the last 50 years holds, we will see these police robot dogs become increasingly more like military robot dogs over time.
How would you like to come in contact with this nasty man-made creature?
New York City used drones to spy on residents holding large parties over Labor Day weekend.
More than 27 airports in the U.S. are scanning the faces of airport travelers.
City police departments engage in “pre-crime” analysis where they use surveillance cameras to try to apprehend people suspected of “planning” to commit a crime but have actually broken no laws.
This is not just dystopian. It’s demonic. And it will be used increasingly against we the people. If you want a realistic perspective of how the globalist elites intend to use AI, drones and robots in a full-on technocracy, I recommend the book, The Erik Blair Diaries, by John Whitehead.
Jacob Thompson at The Winepress nailed it when he commented: “The dystopian nature of this is coming in so extremely fast it’s just unbelievable sometimes to realize it. But since people love their football and their pleasure more then basic liberties, the masses will tolerate more and more of it.”
Some will not only tolerate it, they will celebrate it. That’s how the beast system presents itself and advances, step by step.
The folks in Great Britain have started fighting back (read here how they have disabled 90 percent of surveillance cameras in some areas). When will we?

Consider how sports is the most important part of some people’s existence. Either playing it, watching it, or betting on it. To some, it is clearly like a religion, faithfully followed, incessantly talked about, thought about throughout the day and even has established rituals such as going to a sports bar to watch several games all at once or purchasing season tickets immediately after available for their favorite team(s). It certainly is “big, big business”.

Yes, thinking about those Terminator movies, again.
Thanks, Leo, for giving us another hard reality check. It’s so tempting to want to brush aside everything taking place now because it’s such a nightmare.
When I saw that mechanized dog, it reminded me of how the template of our overlords today is so anti-life, not just in their population reduction schemes, but wanting to move away from the natural toward the artificial as they try to force the Fourth Industrial Revolution upon us.
Dog’s really are man’s best friends in the sense that they are lovable, good protectors, and are often used for therapy and rescue operations. They are also indispensable, loyal, and brave members of local law enforcement and the military, who are capable of forming bonds with the men and women depending upon them in life-or-death situations.
Substituting something lifeless, mechanical, or digital (and possibly lethal) for flesh and blood is a perverse mimicking of creation and another way to play God. But the master manipulators are making people comfortable with this technology, so they won’t have a problem with humanity 2.0.

Revelation 9; 10: “They had tails like scorpions, and there were stings in their tails.” I know the context sounds different but when I read these things I think the vision showed this type of futuristic stuff and he wrote it down in the symbolism and language that he understood. It is supposed to be veiled to a degree and those with the Holy Spirit have the key to unlock it and the Bible itself.
Daniel 7; 7: “After this I saw in the night visions, and behold, a fourth beast, dreadful and terrible, exceedingly strong. It had huge iron teeth; it was devouring, breaking in pieces, and trampling the residue with its feet. It was different from all the beasts that were before it, and it had ten horns. ”
7; 19: “Then I wished to know the truth about the fourth beast, which was different from all the others, exceedingly dreadful, with its teeth of iron and its nails of bronze, which devoured, broke in pieces, and trampled the residue with its feet;”
7; 23: “Thus he said:
‘The fourth beast shall be
A fourth kingdom on earth,
Which shall be different from all other kingdoms,
And shall devour the whole earth,
Trample it and break it in pieces.”
7; 25: “He shall speak pompous words against the Most High,
Shall persecute the saints of the Most High,
And shall intend to change times and law.
Then the saints shall be given into his hand
For a time and times and half a time.” (Three and a half years.)
The 4th beast is the global government. It will be just as treacherous and tyrannical as we can imagine it and worse. We will be persecuted by the antichrist during this time (we, the church, the bride of Christ).
Just a side note but I never listen to the ‘famous’ prophecy teacher’s interpretation of end times events. They get so much wrong. For one thing they have been talking about a ‘revived Roman empire’ and that this has to come to pass. But you read that nowhere in Scripture. They may link that part in Daniel that talks about ‘the prince of the people to come’ and you can make a connection but you can stretch it in many ways, one of which is the vatican. But they make it sound like Europe will be a ten kingdom confederacy and they have people out with their binoculars looking for this ‘revived roman empire’ that is nowhere to be found in prophecy. This fourth beast will be global, it will cover the whole earth, and the only one to do that will be the end times antichrist kingdom, so that is the 4th beast. I couldn’t care less if it is roman or anything else, but with the vatican’s fingerprints all over everything it makes sense that it is just that.
Then they also talk about the great mystery Babylon and have people thinking that this exact city will be rebuilt so they are all out with flashlights and monocles looking for Babylon to pop up again. But it is the whole world system with ties to the mystery religion stuff. And then there is the timing of the rapture thing… but I won’t step into that here now.
All I can say is; don’t take their word for it. Just read the NKJV Bible and it is in plain English, we understand English, and that is enough. Just throw out all those commentaries and what so-and-so said this means and crumple it all up and toss that ball over your shoulder into the waste basket and start from scratch. Don’t fret about the Hebrew and Greek, get a book on that too if you want but most of all pray about it and He will show you what is to come. It’s not what they are leading you to believe.

Eckbach – “The Blank Family (Jewish) in the Russian Empire was the family of the grandfather of Vladimir Lenin.“
Since you brought up those two wikipedia articles, I thought it worth mentioning that the one on the Blank family in Russia also says in the opening paragraph: “Some researchers suggest that Lenin’s maternal grandfather was a Jewish convert to Christianity (Alexander Blank).” The article goes on to say that several other members of the Blank family converted to Christianity: the two sons of Moshe Blank, Abel and Srul, followed by Moshe himself.
A Wikipedia article about Vladimir Lenin says that Lenin’s father:
“…was a devout member of the Russian Orthodox Church and baptised his children into it, although his mother, Maria Alexandrovna Ulyanova…a Lutheran by upbringing, was largely indifferent to Christianity, a view that influenced her children.”
So Lenin became an atheist who rejected the Christianity of his father and grandfather and established a communist totalitarian regime. Given the cruelty of his iron grip, it’s obvious that the faith of some members of his family had no positive impact whatsoever on his politics.
Klaus Schwab and the majority of the members of his global fascist regime that we’ve heard about the most all belong to different denominations within the Christian faith. Unlike Lenin, many of them claim to be Christians and some attend church regularly. But like Lenin, their religious upbringing has had no real impact in their lives, because their politics, like his were, are really rotten.
You can always tell a tree by their fruits.

Looking back at Leo’s story, “Why do our Western governments fear the truth and seek to crush its most ardent messengers?” (8/3/23), that graphic he posted of the Worldwide Criminal Power Structure, for his interview with J.B. Hixon, is really interesting:
1. Spiritual entities
2. Families
3. Banking imperiums, global corporations, World Economic Forum, International Monetary Fund, etc.
4. Governments
5. Law Enforcement
The globalists are in level 3. I’m curious if any of them are truly cognizant of who’s really behind the construction of this Tower of Babel (the one worshiped by those in level 1), or if it’s purely a political ideology for the majority of the elite in level 3. If it’s the latter, then they’re just useful idiots.
BTW, that was a great interview Leo had with Hixon!

Just think of the progress being made on so many fronts: one day soon robo-dogs will patrol our neighborhoods, surveillance cameras placed everywhere to protect us from crime, even pre-crime; drones to precisely strike the bad sort (a technique well tested in Afghanistan and Pakistan). Our very environment will be improved in every way because slum clearance (that breeding ground for crime) can be (and has been) quickly and resolutely wiped out by the DEW tactics—resulting in a boon for real estate developers and population planners as well! A win-win situation, no doubt for the powers-that-ought-not-to-be. But who are these powers??
Private corporations (some of which have budgets bigger than some countries) seem to be driving the overall vision of the future. They are driving the technology and the science, and what’s to be done with it. The governments create nothing, but they are the biggest customers that buy their products, because governments are into population and resource control. It’s no secret how compromised and corrupted our government has been by private corporation interests that now seem to rule. All this dangerous-to-civil-liberties techie stuff filters down throughout the whole economy to the point nothing can function without it. And these corporations flex a lot of financial (sometimes physical) muscle. So who’s in charge really?? Who or what is this Beast? I think we’ll find out before long.
Most of all—how do you oppose this?? Hide from it? It’s sickening.
