Trump Used AI to Scan U.S. Generals' Faces for Loyalty -- and to Root Out Whistleblowers -- Lev Parnas [View all]

On the Jewish Day of Atonement, America Must Reckon With a President Who Never Repents

. . .

After breaking fast tonight, while preparing for dinner and catching up on the flood of missed calls and messages, I heard from sources I trust. And what I heard stopped me cold.

The reason Trump and Pete Hegseth gathered all those generals in one room was not just about a loyalty speech or a pep rally. I’m hearing that the Trump team used artificial intelligence and facial-recognition technology during those briefings to monitor the generals’ reactions in real time. Every eyebrow raise, every flicker of doubt, every moment of discomfort was scanned and analyzed by an algorithm designed to detect who would obey orders without question—and who might resist.

I’m also hearing from my sources that this isn’t limited to the generals. This same technology is being used as a tool inside Trump’s orbit — a quiet weapon of power, deployed by his loyalists to identify and weed out whistleblowers and anyone who isn’t completely obedient. This is how authoritarian power consolidates itself — by quietly monitoring every reaction, every hesitation, every private doubt, and turning it into a scorecard of allegiance.

This is the quiet introduction of a new loyalty test: not just pledging allegiance to Trump, but being scanned and scored by AI for obedience. It’s the kind of surveillance authoritarian regimes use to root out dissent before it begins. And now it’s being deployed against the highest levels of America’s own military leadership.

This isn’t just unprecedented—it’s terrifying. It is the fusion of authoritarian power with the tools of modern surveillance. And it’s happening here, in our country, under our eyes.
