First of all no, we're not doing this. I do not answer DMs from a company that is trying to do damage control AFTER they have ruined the trust of Americans. I do not have "good faith" debates with people who want to enslave me in a fishbowl that they can monitor at all times.

Guess what guys: We don't actually have to give anyone the benefit of the doubt, or engage in "good faith" debates with bad actors. I don't have to justify my concerns about Flock to anyone. But since this condescension pissed me off, I will respond publicly, since Flock seems to want to keep our voices in the shadows and out of the public eye.

Note the argument:

"You see, King George specifically authorized quartering troops among you, I don't know what you're complaining about it's ALL LEGAL".

Well, golly gee guys, I guess it's all right then, they made it legal.

That's exactly the problem. Notice how nobody has a problem with standard security cameras. Public security cameras are not the problem...directly pumping the feed of every square inch of the country into a centralized federal database is one HELL of a problem and we must do everything within our rights as Americans to push back against efforts like this, if we are to have a future as a nation.

Flock, much like Palantir, took the decently good idea of improving security, and implemented it in the most cartoonishly evil way possible at nearly every single step. They are working directly for all levels of government....not the citizenry. They use subterfuge, legal technicalities, and every single trick in the book to put up hundreds of cameras every single day. They constantly mislead the public about what databases their sensors feed into, and who they sell the metadata to.

They have so little oversight that it's laughable, and ALL oversight involves the classic case of "we investigated ourselves and found no wrongdoing". Flock has been caught lying MANY times, and misleading the public regarding what their cameras actually do. Newsflash...they don't just read license plates.

They are also concealing which agencies purchase their data specifically so as to avoid getting warrants, and in doing so they have turned the ENTIRE COUNTRY into an open air prison....where THEY get to provide the intelligence data to those who enforce the laws as selectively as they please.

And their defense for doing so? "Aww look at the cute puppy we rescued" or "We arrested one guy using our camera network, we're so AWESOME".

You don't get to arrest one genuine criminal, and use that as justification to set up and entire Minority Report-esque surveillance system to surveil the entire country. You don't get to betray trust, and then be sad that people don't trust you. You don't get to cozy up to the boot of tyranny so much that you become the boot yourself, and then pretend to be just "one of the guys".

We will not fall for this gaslighting, no matter how hard they try.

For some reason, many people think that private companies can't be tyrants, which could not be further from the truth. At a certain point, a private company can be so heavily embedded within government, that they might as well BE the government. Except they are worse, because we don't even have the tiniest way to hold them accountable except for taking the billion-dollar company to court.

That's my problem with Flock, Palantir, and pretty much every single other defense contractor in existence. I will NOT accept every single facet of my life being monitored, just in case a criminal commits a crime somewhere near me. I will NOT live in "ze pod", no matter which politician is in power, and I will not accept a future where people like this will dictate to me what my country should be.

Starting in September, California law will require anyone renewing a CCW permit to get a livescan done for that renewal too.

Until now, Livescans, which cost about $100, used to only be required for the first permit, then you could renew without doing it again, as they already have your fingerprints from last time.

There was literally no reason to make this change, except one:

They hate you for exercising your Second Amendment rights, and want to increase the cost of doing so in as many ways as possible. It's yet another poll tax.

[Kostas Moros @MorosKostas]

You literally signed a bill into law in CA banning carry at protests! And you support existing laws banning the pistol Pretti was carrying for several different reasons.

Bessent made a dumb comment, yes. You have actually signed into law attacks on the Second Amendment.

@99ZULU11Z There will be a Massive Protest in Dublin this weekend to protest against this ludicrous decision. Tens of thousands of patriots are expected to attend. There are also plans to hold a HUGE National Strike to bring Ireland’s Economy to a standstill. This judgement cannot stand!

Gavin Newsom took office with a $13.8 Billion SURPLUS.

He will leave with a $46.8 Billion DEFICIT.

Newsom pissed away $60.6 Billion on illegals and fleecing the system.

Who else agrees Newsom is 💯corruption????

Netanyahu: The US is "the new Rome."

"The last time Pompeo visited Jerusalem didn't end that well," he told Sec. Pompeo during a 2019 presser, referencing Roman general Pompey's conquering of Judea in 63 BC.

Israel has to win the "next" war vs. "Rome," he now says.

WOW 🚨 Both the person who drew the new Prop 50 Redistricting Maps and the California Legislature said the purpose of them drawing the maps the way they did was to “increase the power of Latino voters” while taking away voting power from white people and other races

INSANE

“We have filed this lawsuit because the map enacted in Proposition 50 for California's congressional districts is unconstitutional. The map is designed to favor one race of California voters over others. This violates the 14th Amendment's guarantee of equal protection under the law, and the right under the 15th Amendment to not have one's vote abridged on account of race.

When drawing the Proposition 50 map, the chief consultant who drew the map has stated that the first thing that he did was to increase the power of Latino voters. Additionally, the state legislature has announced that the maps increase the power of Latino voters.

— We have seen with Prop 50, these maps, they are completely diminishing the voices of other groups to benefit other groups. They have weaponized this entire process and they have lied to the California voters.”

[Mark Meuser @MarkMeuser]

Dear Gavin Newsom,

I hate to rain on your parade but your celebration over the passage of Prop 50 will need to wait a few days.

You have been sued. Your unconstitutional racial gerrymandering is now heading to a federal three-judge panel and maybe to the SCOTUS to determining if your use of race in drawing congressional districts should be enjoined.

We are asking the court to require the old maps to be in effect while we litigation your unconstitutional actions.

I’m naturally not a conspiracy theorist.

I’ve been in science fields / data science for over a decade.

…but after seeing all the evidence

I’m becoming more and more convinced that Democrats are cheating to win elections at every available opportunity.

It’s everywhere.

California could create a proposition that would take your first born, and all your money.

Millions of Californians would vote yes.

All Gavin would have to say is that he’s doing it to fight Trump.

I’m surrounded by morons.
