Excellent piece from @NassMeryl - Read and Share!!! We need to understand what we pay in transaction costs for what we buy--it is considerable and while the costs are mostly hidden now, using cash could make things cheaper in future, by @NassMeryl https://t.co/fb6AdKg6PM

@mattvanswol For those who don't mind mass surveillance, remember this:
Instead of investigating a crime to find a perpetrator, the government can target an individual first and subsequently fabricate or finding a pretext to convict them.

8 Ways To Take Down Flock Without A Sawzall:
1. Demand An Audit
Most cities never independently audit whether Flock cameras in town actually reduce crime. Ask your city council to show evidence that these cameras reduced violent crime. Make them prove it. They usually can't.
2. Find Out When the Contract Expires
Every Flock camera program has a contract renewal date. Use FOIAs to request the original contract, all amendments, renewal dates, and termination clauses.
This one is SO important because we must organize BEFORE renewal, not AFTER the cameras go up.
3. Demand the Privacy Impact Assessment
Before deploying any type of surveillance devices with public funds, many city governments are supposed to evaluate the privacy risks.
Ask for privacy Impact Assessment, civil liberties review, and constitutional analysis. If they never conducted one... Ask why not (they hate that.)
4. Show Up Before They Vote
Flock cameras aren't installed overnight. They usually require budget approval, council approval, contract approval. Use tools like "Citizen Portal" to setup automatic notifications for upcoming city council meetings. Speak before, not after installation.
5. Follow the Money
Want to know why your city suddenly wants Flock cameras? It's usually always grants or cronyism.
Ask for grant applications: DHS grants, DOJ grants, Homeland Security funding, ect. Surveillance programs begin because outside money make them "free."
6. Ask About Data Sharing
Every city should have to answer this question: "Exactly which agencies can search our city's license plate database?"
Ask for sharing agreements, MOUs, list of agencies with approval, and search logs. Most people think it's just local police. It rarely is, usually the feds too.
7. Audit Every Search
Public records requests aren't just for the contracts. You can publicly request every audit log showing who searched the Flock system and why.
Ask for date, user, reason for search and any case numbers. Abuse often shows up in the logs before it makes the news or a viral social media post.
8. Compare Crime Before & After
Download your city's crime data. Compare property and violent crime before and after Flock was installed.
If there's no meaningful change... Ask why taxpayers are still paying for it. If officials claim the cameras are effective, ask them to produce the evidence supporting continued funding.

@ShannonJoyRadio It's happening everywhere. That's the idea right? Take nature away, the most natural thing that helps us and the environment. Its all part of the plan (i.e., cloud seeding, shots, glysophate, etc.) Make us sick and some die to keep us from rising.
How to legally and lawfully GET RID OF ALL @Flock_Safety
🚨 Flock has a hidden weakness many don’t know: public records requests.
Activists have successfully forced at least 8 cities to shut down Flock programs, either by exposing unauthorized data access or showing the footage was publicly accessible.
One of the most effective ways to take down Flock cameras?
FOIA Freedom of Info Requests
PRA Public Records Requests

@AaronSiriSG Stop buying the poisons. The marketplace will decide if the Supreme Court won't. Vote with your wallet. Demand that these poisons and forever chemicals be banned. Europe and Russia are way ahead of the US on this topic.
Yesterday’s Supreme Court decision reflects that the capture of government by big industry is nearly complete. It affirmed the right of chemical companies to injure, maim, and even kill you and your children with their pesticides, herbicides, etc., with near complete impunity.
This means you can expect increasingly toxic pesticides, herbicides, fungicides, rodenticides, etc., because the more toxic they are, the better they will kill weeds, pests, etc. And farmers that then use the most effective products, no matter how harmful to humans, will have a competitive advantage. The result will be that the farmer who adopts the most effective products (meaning most toxic) will have the largest crop yield. Other farmers, to compete, will then also be forced to adopt the more harmful product. With that, the race to the bottom has begun.
I expect that in the coming decades we will look back and wish to return to the “safer days” of glyphosate. So, bottom line: your government has abandoned you and your children. Think about this decision: 7 out of 9 Supreme Court judges sided with the chemical company against the public, and Trump’s DOJ intervened in the case on the side of the chemical company. Anyone who thinks this administration cares about you over industry profit is, at this point, delusional.
Shame on the DOJ, shame on the Trump admin, and shame on the Supreme Court for letting chemical companies get away with injuring, maiming, and killing Americans with their products instead of just allowing normal market forces to protect us and our children. Now, in addition to vaccines, we can add pesticides, etc., to the list of products that can injure and kill with near complete immunity.
Below is the decision and, in a nutshell, it holds that failure to warn claims brought under state law (which is the primary type of claim one would bring for harms from a pesticide, herbicide, etc.) are preempted by the EPA-approved label such that, if the harm is not on the label, your claim loses (since EPA didn’t add it to the label as a harm), and if the harm is on the label, your claim loses (since it has been disclosed on the label). Meaning heads or tail they win, and you and your children lose.

🚨🚨Ed Dowd Calls It: Says Trump in compromised, has betrayed every promise and is helping to implement a satanic, technocratic new world order. @DowdEdward 🚨🚨
The AI infrastructure buildout sweeping the country has been funded through subsidies designed to attract venture capital and drive growth. As those companies now move toward IPOs and stock valuations, they are raising the price of AI to reflect its true cost, and the market is responding by concluding that human workers are often more efficient and affordable.
@DowdEdward says we are at a critical juncture. The data center announcements flooding the news are not all going to be built. The pricing model that justified them is not working, and many of the projects currently planned or under construction will not survive the correction.
Communities that have already been absorbing rising electricity bills and strained water resources for operational facilities are dealing with a real and worsening problem. Communities being asked to approve new ones may be approving infrastructure for a bubble that is already deflating.
AI will have genuine uses. However, it won't be able to deliver on what is currently being promised, and the classic technology hype cycle playing out right now has a predictable next phase...
Florida recorded six confirmed West Nile cases in 2025. California had 113 cases and 11 deaths. Those are the numbers being used to justify releasing 64 million lab-raised mosquitoes into open ecosystems with no long-term field studies on what happens next.
Google has applied to the EPA for permission to release up to 64 million lab-raised male mosquitoes over two years across parts of Florida and California. The stated purpose is to suppress wild mosquito populations that carry West Nile virus and St. Louis encephalitis. The males are infected with a naturally occurring bacterium that prevents eggs from hatching when they mate with wild females. No genetic modification is involved.
The public comment window closes June 5th, and most of the 250+ comments already submitted express concern about ecological harm.
Epidemiologist Nicholas Hulscher has described it as one of the largest open-air biological experiments in US history, warning that disrupting a mosquito species could trigger cascading effects on birds, bats, and frogs that depend on them for food, and that any ecological damage at that scale could be irreversible.
Kudzu was introduced for erosion control and became the vine that ate the South. House sparrows were released to control insects and displaced native birds across the continent. Asian carp were imported to manage algae and are now threatening the Great Lakes food web. Every one of those interventions was well-intentioned. None of them were reversible.
There are also no long-term empirical field studies on what a release of this scale actually does to an ecosystem. The pre-release modeling concluded negligible risk. Modeling is not field data, and 64 million mosquitoes is not a small trial.

🔎FOIA Exposes the Blueprint for Shaming You Into Compliance
@ICANdecide obtained a 2019 presentation by NYU bioethicist Dr. Arthur Caplan, delivered to the National Vaccine Advisory Committee, outlining a framework to increase vaccination rates through coercion, social pressure, and public shaming rather than improved safety or informed consent. The document was obtained via FOIA. This is what it says.
💰 Caplan opened by disclosing his financial relationships with Janssen, Sanofi, Novartis, GlaxoSmithKline, Otsuka, CSL, and others. He then presented his strategy for public health policy to a federal advisory committee.
📊 His central premise, stated plainly on slide 5: "Facts alone are not enough to increase vax rates." And then: "Facts sometimes look weaker than they should." A man advising the federal government on vaccine policy is acknowledging he cannot make the case on the merits, and his solution is not to improve the science, but to change the strategy.
🎯 The strategy he landed on is summarized in his own words. Use ethics arguments to "guilt hesitators and resistors." Characterize anyone opposed to vaccine mandates as "selfish, bad neighbors, indifferent to the vulnerable." This is a messaging operation with a bioethics veneer, presented to federal advisors on taxpayer time.
🚫 On exemptions, Caplan pointed to California's SB 277 and Michigan's 2014 policy changes as the models to follow nationally. He recommended to the National Vaccine Advisory Committee that all other states eliminate non-medical exemptions. He described parental beliefs as "bogus values" that should not "override protection of children."
🔍 The full presentation is now public because ICAN's legal team went and got it. Read it yourself at the link below, and then consider that this is the kind of person public health authorities consult when deciding how to handle the people who ask questions.
