mercator (black smoke: Rome)

Yes some years ago I ordered a mercator k55k black cat knife on Amazon. The knife was designed in Germany in the 1800s, and the purchase had nothing to do with initials or numbers, associated with road delivery, or personal mobile 'boxes'. I just used it to cut up an shipping box on the front porch, because the design from the 1800s was solid and functional. The delivery ads currently playing on the international news station are for gift cards for, the gap, door dash, bath and body works, and AMC movie theaters

I confirmed with my father, uneccessarily, since I already knew, he is unaware of any information, aside from what I told him directly, about someone I know with the same initials. 55 is his birth year.  

Once again, I believe some dumb spies were allowed to brainwash idiots into pretending they are doing covert police work, by having alternative understanding of regular food, water and consumer products. Which I do not believe. 

Yes, I think there are people who believe giant international conglomerates are doing behind the scenes covert state leveraging, policing and security, on behalf of random civilians, based on their consumer purchases, which if true, would be roman empire crumbling level stupid. 

The 'blink' advertisement explains conceptually how this would work.

 Yes I think it would be essentially an international American decline machine, built on regular consumerism, marketed as security. 

It would result in, fairly rapidly, private international tyrannies, maneuvering the pieces of a puppet state, policing and security, while interpreting, as they wish, the metaphors associated with passive American consumerism. (Someone nearby, suggested something along the lines, of, if you order the right product at the right time, they will be able to lock the door with the trucks... Yes, that level of insane) 

I think this would be particularly globally dangerous and destabilizing in the world's leading hegemony, with a passive and detached political population.
