This is Tony Blair’s house.
The architect of ‘rubbing our noses in diversity’, and consequential rape/murder of our so many women and children.

He is presently working on our digital ID with Larry Ellison.
Nice house, for a politician, isn’t it.

FISA 702 is not dead . FLOCK data is being "LAUNDERED" to
Make the origin legal. 🚨🚨🚨

Flock Safety is giving data to Intelligence Communities. The mechanism is not a direct contract. The mechanism is the "Task Force Officer" (TFO) integration system. The Intelligence Community (IC) is using local police departments as proxies to bypass federal restrictions and access the Flock network.🚨🚨🚨🚨
Here is how it works

⚠️Federal agents are deputized as "Task Force Officers" (TFOs) or are assigned to Joint Terrorism Task Forces (JTTFs) within local police departments. A DHS agent assigned to a local precinct has a valid badge and email for that precinct. They use the local police department's Flock login.

Flock sees the search coming from "Springfield Police Department" (Local). Flock allows it. The data goes to the Springfield PD. But the person running the search is the DHS agent. The agent then downloads the data and puts it into the federal database.
The Smoking Gun:
The University of Washington report confirmed "side door" searches where local police conducted searches on behalf of federal agencies.² This is the TFO mechanism in action. The local cop is the administrative front for the federal agent.
—-
Not only this

Flock offers a feature called "National Lookup." This allows a police department in one state to search for a license plate in another state if both departments have opted in.🚨🚨🚨

The Intelligence Community has created a "National Lookup" network of its own. They strategically task a small number of friendly local agencies to opt into National Lookup. Once they are in, they can search cameras in thousands of jurisdictions nationwide.

The Intelligence Community does not need every department to share data. They only need a few "hub" departments that are willing to share. If a federal agent is embedded in a hub department (via the TFO program), they have access to the entire national database. The "local autonomy" defense is a shield. The reality is that one compromised local agency provides a federal backdoor to the whole country.🚨🚨⚠️⚠️⚠️

🚨🚨🚨
In April 2026, Flock launched "Audit Assistance," a tool that automates compliance monitoring. They claim this is to increase transparency.
The Reverse-Engineered Intent:
The Intelligence Community was getting sloppy. The "side door" searches were being detected.² The Audit Assistance tool was not designed to stop the federal access. It was designed to sanitize the data.

The tool flags "unusual" activity and forces the user to input a "Case Number" and a "Search Reason." The federal agents (using local logins) now simply input a generic case number (e.g., "FED-2026-001") and a valid reason (e.g., "Fugitive Search"). The system sees a case number and marks the search as "Compliant." The audit trail now proves that the search was legal, even though it was a federal warrantless surveillance operation disguised as a local search.
—-
🚨
Local police departments are dependent on federal money and equipment, specifically the Department of Defense's "1033 Program" which transfers military gear to local police.👮‍♀️

The Intelligence Community tells the local police: "If you want the free armored vehicles and the tactical grants, you must participate in the JTTF and you must keep your Flock camera network open to Task Force Officers."🚨

The local departments comply. They install the Flock cameras. They opt into National Lookup. They give the federal agents logins. They do this because they are bankrupt and need the federal money. Flock is just the software; the enforcement arm is the federal budget.🚨—

They are using the "Task Force Officer" program to legally disguise federal agents as local cops. They are using these disguised agents to query the Flock network for national security targets.

Brave got my Zones of Thought solution more quickly and correctly than Gemini (which has alas dropped our nice exchange from its cache).

Sparked by SUPERGIRL film woes; the producer/studio-head gets more blame than the star in my view. Ask Brave exchange: https://t.co/CAjCKP7zhh

We shipped Brave Origin, with shields + baseline Brave speed but otherwise minimum browser UX: https://t.co/sla0owHM3t (on the https://t.co/SXWZCOTi6r products page). It's another way to support us directly, a fair play _quid pro quo_, because TANSTAAFL (https://t.co/M8khPYacTf).

[BrendanEich @BrendanEich]

@zooko Shortest URL for Ask Brave is https://t.co/sW4ZfakBzD.

It grounds answers in many search API calls, so tends to hallucinate a bit less than Grok in my experience. All the clankers do hallucinate, by design and as a trade-off for generativiity. Perhaps new architectures will fix.

[BrendanEich @BrendanEich]

Should go without saying but I'll say it: the "Tusli" drop came too late, Fauci skated on May 11, 2026, and no one should celebrate late/limited hangouts. https://t.co/0sc3VklVWL

[BrendanEich @BrendanEich]

Of course no accountability for Reedley or Las Vegas covert biolabs yet. Ask Brave session on that: https://t.co/mu2fAGJWeq

Old news to those following this thread, good to confirm anyway:

[BrendanEich @BrendanEich]

I have to say I'm loving @Brave Origin: minimal UX just feels lighter. It's a cliché, but even with familiarity, busier UX takes a cognitive toll.

The counter-argument is many can't afford to pay. We will always provide https://t.co/VrTMOnx8E0 for free.

The new Hungarian government has moved to abolish the National Oath introduced by the government before it, more than a decade ago.

Some are puzzled why. A document was found in which the Brussels bureaucrats explain to Peter Magyar what's wrong with that oath. The explanation follows each line in the Hungarian oath:

We are proud that our King Saint Stephen built the Hungarian State on solid foundations one thousand years ago and made our country part of Christian Europe. *We EUrocrats are against Christianity, it cannot be mentioned in official documents.

We are proud of our forebears who fought for the survival, freedom and independence of our country. *Can't talk about independence, as it'll be history and you're giving it up for EU domination.

We are proud that our people, over the centuries, defended Europe in a series of struggles and, through their talent and diligence, enriched its common values. *That's racist. We'll teach you the real meaning of 'enrichment'.

We recognize the role of Christianity in preserving nationhood. *We've told you already not to mention Christianity!!

We value the various religious traditions of our country. *Nice try, but you need to value the religious traditions of non-European countries! Otherwise you might value Christianity. Haven't you attended any of our satanic rituals?

We promise to preserve the intellectual and spiritual unity of our nation, torn into parts by the storms of the past century. *We operate the British divide and rule system. It is anti-EU to wish for a united nation!

We proclaim that the nationalities living with us are parts of the Hungarian political community and constituent factors of the State. *You can leave this one in here as we'll deliver new nationalities that you will have to cherish.

We undertake to cherish and preserve our heritage, our unique language, Hungarian culture, the languages and cultures of the nationalities in Hungary, and the natural and man-made values of the Carpathian Basin. *Unacceptable. Only Ukrainians are allowed to talk like this, because we need them to fight Russia. Join the war against Russia, and we can talk.

We bear responsibility for our descendants; therefore, through the careful use of our material, intellectual and natural resources, we shall protect the living conditions of future generations. *That is not allowed. The EU will undermine the future of your country.

We believe that our national culture contributes richly to the diversity of European unity. *You need to come for some Brussels training sessions on the meaning of diversity. It is to reduce whiteness by importing non-Euro.peans. Is that so hard to understand?

We respect the freedom and culture of other peoples and strive to cooperate with every nation of the world. *How on earth is that supposed to help? We have usurped foreign policy.

We hold that the foundation of human existence is human dignity. *Dignity for the new arrivals. The non-migrants will need to learn a life without dignity.

We hold that individual freedom can unfold only in cooperation with others. *You mean "in subjugation to the EU Commissars"?

We hold that the most important framework of our coexistence is the family and the nation, and that the fundamental values of our cohesion are fidelity, faith and love. *That's already too much talk about the family. How will those feel who don't have one of the old two genders?

We hold that the basis of the strength of the community and the honour of every person is work and the achievement of the human mind. *Work? We don't have time to get acquainted with concepts unknown to us.

We hold that helping the vulnerable and the poor is a duty. *Only if they are not white.

We hold that the common goal of citizens and the State is the achievement of the good life, security, order, justice and freedom. *This nostalgia may poison Hungarians against the hardships we are preparing for them. The good life is only for the EUrocrats.

We hold that true democracy exists only where the State serves its citizens and administers their affairs fairly, without abuse or partiality. *This sentence is clearly anti-EU.

We honour the achievements of our historical constitution and the Holy Crown, which embody the constitutional continuity of Hungary’s statehood and the unity of the nation. *See above. Your nation will be split and flooded with migrants, so such talk is inappropriate.

We do not recognize the suspension of our historical constitution due to foreign occupations. *The new occu.pation by the EU begins, so this is not helpful.

We deny any statute of limitations for the inhuman crimes committed against the Hungarian nation and its citizens under the rule of the National Socialist and Communist dictatorships. We do not recognize the communist constitution of 1949, because it was the basis of tyrannical rule; therefore, we declare it invalid.*This anti-authoritarian talk besmirches the goals of the founding fathers of the EU. To form the EU, the CIA took the Nazi economic program and combined it with the Soviet Union institutional design. So this statement is not helpful.

We agree with the members of the first freely elected National Assembly, who declared in their first decision that our present freedom sprang from the Revolution of 1956. *Talk of revolutions and insurgencies is not helpful. We need obedient citizens.

We date the restoration of our country’s lost self-determination from 2 May 1990, when the first freely elected popular representation was formed. We regard this day as the beginning of our country’s new democracy and constitutional order. *And the Hungarian entry to the EU is the end of that order. So let's not play this up unnecessarily.

We hold that, after the moral decline of the twentieth century, we are in urgent need of spiritual and intellectual renewal. *Trust the intellectual leadership of the unelected EUrocrats.

We trust in a jointly shaped future, in the commitment of the younger generations. *We'll make sure that there will largely be non-native younger generations in your schools.

Japan is in the same situation as Germany. What look like self-inflicted bad policy choices actually are due to politicians spinelessly doing what their US Deep State minders had instructed them, in line with Kissinger's dictum that the US exploits and sacrifices its allies.

[Socket @SocketSecurity]

🚨 BREAKING: Active supply chain attack across npm, PyPI, and Crates.​io.

Socket detected TrapDoor, a crypto stealer campaign hitting 34 malicious packages and 384 versions and artifacts, with attackers repeatedly pushing new releases across ecosystems.

TrapDoor targets #crypto, #DeFi, AI, and security developers, stealing wallets, SSH keys, cloud credentials, GitHub tokens, browser data, env vars, and API keys.

Socket detected releases with a median detection time of 5 minutes, 27 seconds. The fastest detection occurred 58 seconds after publication.

This might be the first X article to use the new table feature. You can basically copy/paste MarkDown code if you want. Have a look at my article.

I harassed @yagiznizipli for weeks. But it is finally here!

I think it looks good!

Both LinkedIn and X have 'articles'. They are somewhat similar. LinkedIn does not have syntax highlighting (which is bad for people like me)... and it also lacks a table feature.

I'll keep posting articles on LinkedIn, but X is now way better as far as I am concerned.
