This trade is hilarious. The last time a top-5 pick in the NHL was traded (with both teams knowing it was top-5) was 2008. 18 years ago. This doesn't happen. GMs always chicken out.

And the one that finally happens is for... Bowen Byram??? For the right to overpay him???

If the provision in the NDAA to integrate/synchronize the U.S. and Israeli militaries (section 224) makes it out of committee, I’ll offer an amendment to strip it from the bill on the floor.

You literally can’t make this up

NBC News is now making videos “Debunking the tick conspiracy theory”

They’re “consulting with the experts” and have found there is no connection to the rise in ticks and Lyme disease right as Pfizer is about to release a vaccine

You literally don’t hate the media enough

First off, the claims the make in this video are easily debunked by literally just searching ticks on any social media platform

And they say Lyme disease is incredibly common…. How many people do you know that have Lyme disease? Growing up I never met anyone with it

But now, right before Pfizer’s vaccine states like North Carolina is seeing a 40% increase in tick related Lyme disease in their ER

The timing is too perfect. Maybe they need to do a little more research before taking to one “holistic expert” and then deciding thousands of peoples testimonials online are false

This isn’t reporting. It’s the same propaganda we always see from the mainstream media

Ticks spreading alpha-gal syndrome, triggering severe meat allergies and forcing people off real beef, pork, and lamb.

Meanwhile, Bill Gates-funded labs are pushing lab-grown “meat” as the replacement.

Just a coincidence.

When a Crow feels sick, it goes to an Ant nest and deliberately disturbs it. The Ants get angry and start climbing on the Crow.
But the Crow doesn't move. It stays still with its
wings open. The Ants then spray formic acid on the Crow. This acid helps remove germs and fungi, like a natural medicine.

This is horrifying and every American needs to hear this

California resident exposes what’s really going on with Flock Cameras in America

“I want to be clear what these cameras actually are, and I say that with somebody with 20 years of experience in IT. I've served as the chief network architect for Fortune 500 companies, I've designed data centers, and today I work on cloud infrastructure for one of the largest loan origination companies in the country. I'm not speculating on how this technology works. I've read their patents and I know how it works.

Flock advertises these cameras as simple license plate readers. But their own patents tell a different story.

They're AI-powered surveillance machines that capture every passing vehicle and person and transmit that data to a private corporate cloud, making it queryable by a multitude of state and federal agencies. The city of Corona does not control that database, and Corona residents have no public record rights against a private company's servers. Our daily movements are being harvested by a $7.5 billion corporation, that only answers to venture capital investors, not to us. Flock did not reach that valuation on their per-camera subscription fees. That math doesn't add up

The city council should also understand who they're doing business with. Flock CEO was asked whether the company had any federal contracts. He said no. That was a lie.

Public records revealed that Flock had been secretly running a pilot program giving the US Border Patrol access to local police camera data without the knowledge of the cities that paid for the cameras.

Now consider who's behind the company and where your data flows. Flock integrates directly with Palantir, a data fusion platform, with a $30 million contract with ICE. Peter Thiel, the founder of Palantir, is also one of Flock's primary investors. These are not separate companies with separate agendas. They are connected actors that are building a connected infrastructure.

Palantir's own CEO stated publicly just this month that his technology is being used as a political instrument, designed to reduce the political power of certain voters. And that's the ecosystem that our Corona cameras are feeding into.

We're not anti-police at all. We're against mass surveillance of innocent residents by a company with a documented record of deception, built by investors with a stated political agenda. We're asking the City Council to start auditing the queries made against Flock's database, to disclose any data sharing agreements, and to take a vote to cancel the Flock safety contract”

I looked more into this and he is 100% right

Patents describe broader object detection, including tracking people and pedestrians, patents like US11416545B1. The system uses a centralized cloud database for nationwide queries

Data goes to Flock’s private cloud, AWS-based, encrypted. Nationwide lookup is common, 75%+ of customers are enrolled enabling cross-jurisdictional searches. Residents have no direct public records access to the corporate servers.

This creates a mass surveillance network feeding a private company’s infrastructure

If you ask me this is laying the infrastructure for a mass surveillance network in America. We are being lied to. Cancel all contracts nationwide
