They tell you Flock cameras are there to fight crime.

So I pulled the actual police logs from my new favorite website (haveibeenflocked . com). 233 million searches that they have been able to get via FOIA requests and here's what "fighting crime" actually looks like:

> 84% had no case number at all
> The most common reason a cop typed in the box? Blank, nothing
> Only about 9% were even tagged as a real crime.
> "Test" and "training" show up as reasons, run on real people's cars
> The FBI and Homeland Security were wired into local camera networks your town never signed off on.

So what is Flock?

FLOCK: 100,000+ plate cameras bolted to poles across America. They read your plate everywhere you drive and never forget.

NOVA: Flock's AI that turns your plate into you. Your name, address, family, everyone you know, in seconds, no warrant.

SIGNALTRACE: a competitor's tool that tracks the Bluetooth off your phone, your AirPods, your watch. Doesn't even need your plate.

Then I followed the money and the lead investor behind Flock also funds an Israeli company that can hack cameras and change the footage. Another lead investor backs a 911 app that flips on your phone's camera and mic. Trace it all the way back and you hit a former Israeli prime minister and Jeffrey Epstein's money.

According to Clint Eastwood, during the filming of "The Shootist" (1976), Don Siegel got into trouble with John Wayne. He asked Wayne to shoot the villain in the back in one of the scenes in the movie. After a long pause, Wayne asked, "You mean I shoot him in the back?". Siegel replied, "Yeah, just shoot him, because he has got four other guys with him". Wayne replied back, "I don't shoot anyone in the back". Siegel then told Wayne that Eastwood would have shot him in the back. Wayne's face turned blue and he said, "I don't care what that kid would have done, I don't shoot him in the back". Eastwood felt that it was a terrible error on the part of Siegel in saying that.

P.S: On this day, 50 years ago, "The Shootist" (1976) premiered in Carson City, Nevada, USA.

🚨#BREAKING: Police in New Bern NC are asking the public's help to identify the two men who cut down a brand-new Flock camera that was just installed.

The public allegedly has submitted hundreds of tips by sending in names like "Batman and Robin" and "Lone Ranger and Tonto."

Today, I’m releasing never before seen intelligence revealing new evidence of past US government funding for more than 120 biolabs in over 30 countries, including Ukraine.

In support of President Trump‘s Executive Order to end federal funding of dangerous gain of function research around the world, and increase transparency and accountability, ODNI will continue working with partners across the Administration to identify where these labs are, what pathogens they contain, and what “research” is being conducted.

In the summer of 1921 ten thousand armed men walked into the mountains of West Virginia.
Black men and white men. Side by side. Shoulder to shoulder. On the same road going to the same fight for the same reason.
That is the part of the Battle of Blair Mountain that history forgot to tell.
The coal companies of Mingo County had spent years crushing any attempt at unionization with hired gun thugs, mass evictions, and the full cooperation of the state government. Miners who joined the union were fired and thrown out of their company houses with their families in the same day. Union organizers were beaten and murdered. The sheriff of Mingo County ran a private army on the coal company payroll.
In August of 1921 the miners had enough.
Ten thousand of them, a significant portion of them Black miners who understood better than anyone what it meant to have no rights and no recourse against men with money and guns, armed themselves and marched toward Blair Mountain to liberate the coalfields of Logan and Mingo counties.
The coal operators called in private mercenaries. The governor called in the state police. The federal government sent the United States Army and military aircraft that dropped bombs on American citizens on American soil.
The miners held Blair Mountain for five days before surrendering when faced with federal troops.
They lost the battle. But the story of what happened on that mountain, ten thousand men of every color standing together against one of the most powerful industries in America, is one of the most extraordinary and most deliberately buried chapters in American history.
It deserves to be remembered.

22 yrs ago today, after a long zoning dispute with local officials that ruined his business, welder Marvin Heemeyer had enough & created the Killdozer.

He destroyed the mayor’s house, the judge’s house, town hall, the police station, & the bank - while avoiding hurting civilians or their property.

Happy Killdozer Day to those who celebrate 🎊

This Sears story is sparking debate about today’s economy.

A man’s viral reflection on working at Sears in the early 1990s has social media debating the reality of today’s economy. He described coworkers in customer service, hardware, and appliance sales living what he called “normal middle-class lives” through full-time retail work alone.

@MoundLore My grandfather retired from Sears,he was something that is extinct. T.V. repairman,who could fix the space shuttle if you gave him 2hrs.

[MoundLore @MoundLore]

A lot of Americans remember Sears as a dying store in a half-empty mall.

That’s not what Sears was.

Sears was how American factories entered ordinary houses. Kenmore in the kitchen. Craftsman in the garage. DieHard under the hood. Coldspot humming in the corner. Lawn tractors in sheds. Socket sets in drawers that nobody was allowed to lose.

It was basements, workbenches, catalogs, part numbers, repairmen, delivery trucks, credit accounts, and old men who could hear a washer struggling before it finally quit.

A kid could flip through the Wish Book and learn what adulthood looked like. Tools. Appliances. Work boots. School clothes. A bicycle. Sometimes even a whole house ordered by mail and built piece by piece after the materials came in by rail.

That was the part Sears understood. America was full of people trying to build stable lives with practical things.

Then the practical world got replaced by a disposable one. The catalogs vanished. The stores hollowed out. Manufacturing moved overseas. Repair got expensive. Replacement got cheap. The people who knew how everything worked got older, retired, or died, and a lot of what they knew went with them.

People call it the death of a department store.

I don’t.

Sears was one of the last national systems that still assumed ordinary Americans should know how to maintain the world around them instead of just replacing it. That’s the strange poverty nobody talks about now.

Not having fewer things. Having more than ever and understanding almost none of them.
