FLASHBACK: Dr. Fauci said he would HAPPILY testify and “cooperate fully” with any Congressional committee in 2022.
“I have nothing to hide!”
He did not in fact cooperate fully today.
It’s because he DOES have something to hide…
The privileged are so insulated from reality within their social bubbles that they believe they occupy a morally just position. Ultimately, that position often runs contrary to their own best interests, values, and beliefs. Their ignorance and ego serve as their shield. Reality, however, is indifferent to ideology, and it always demands payment in the end.
@benwehrman@grok Did France pass a law to prevent the intentional obsolescence of consumer devices? Would that law also apply to products like light bulbs?
@EpicWarz One million space wizards vs a super wizard, a mid-tier wizard, one dragon, and an army of mutated elves and trolls. 🧌 This isn’t even a comparison.
Tucker Carlson says that Flock Safety Cameras aren’t about safety, they’re about mass surveillance
“The promise is that if you give up your privacy, your right to kind of walk around without having your face analyzed and sent to headquarters somewhere in this or another country, you would in exchange get what? Safety. The problem is it hasn't worked that way.
Harris County, Texas has over 3,000 license plate readers. You would think it would be the safest place in the United States, but weirdly, Harris County, Texas had over 500 murders in 2025.
How is it that we increase the surveillance past what 1984 describes, and we still have 500 murders in one U.S. county”
The data backs this up
Advocacy groups such as the Texas Civil Rights Project have identified that there are nearly 3,800 Flock cameras in the surrounding greater Houston area
The Harris County Sheriff’s Office has reported access to around 480 of these cameras
Yet the murder rate is extremely high
Harris County recorded about 503 homicides in 2024
We need to get rid of Flock cameras while we still can, this is about mass surveillance
Edward Snowden said it the best:
"When you say 'I don't care about the right to privacy because I have nothing to hide,' that's no different than saying 'I don't care about freedom of speech because I have nothing to say.'"
"Simply because you are following the law, doesn't mean that you'll be exempt from governmental interference in your private life."
Flock isn't the only concern.
Ever heard of the 'Axon Lightpost?'
It’s a networked surveillance node with microphones, cameras, and real‑time feeds. Flock tracks plates, Axon LP tracks everything around them.
2 companies, 1 goal...
The normalization of total surveillance.
I’ll soon be sponsoring a bill to withhold federal money from municipalities and police departments that deploy Flock (and other style) cameras to surveil law abiding citizens.
