Despite official reassurances, Oklahoma City has entered into a contract with the controversial facial recognition firm Clearview AI—an organization that has already been fined tens of millions internationally for privacy violations and unauthorized data harvesting. The $37,250 contract, approved by a 7-2 vote, grants Clearview access to Oklahoma City Police operations through 2026. Authorities insist the tool isn’t for surveillance, but merely to “compare facial images” for investigative purposes. Yet anyone paying attention can see where this is headed: a vast biometric database powered by AI, quietly expanding under the banner of “public safety.”

When a company is scraping billions of faces from social media without consent and being slammed by watchdogs for lack of oversight, it’s hard to believe this isn’t the slow rollout of something much bigger. The Oklahoma City Police Department claims this tool is for identifying criminals or fighting child exploitation, but such justifications are often the wedge used to normalize invasive tech.

The reality is that biometric surveillance is becoming embedded in everyday policing, and as prophecy warns, a global system of control doesn’t arrive overnight—it creeps in, one “harmless” contract at a time. The rise of facial recognition technology and biometric surveillance aligns with prophetic warnings of increasing global control and the erosion of personal freedoms in the last days. As governments normalize these tools under the banner of safety and efficiency, the world is being conditioned to accept invasive technologies that could later be used to monitor, control, and ultimately persecute those who refuse allegiance to a coming global authority.

Stay Awake. Keep Watch.
