Fascinating to me that once women could control their reproductive choices, they opted for fewer (or no) kids, & once women had financial independence, fewer choose to marry, & men can't seem to figure it out. Instead they insist women were happy back then.
THIS image is an image of Signal Trace from a company called Leonardo.
SignalTrace is not separate from license plate reader surveillance, it is built to work with license plate readers.
By pairing plate reads with signals from phones, watches, headphones, vehicles, key finders, and other electronics, it can create an “electronic fingerprint” tied to a vehicle or person and continue identifying them even when a plate is hidden, changed, missing, or unreadable.
That means a Flock, Motorola, Axon network can become a people tracking network capable of revealing where someone travels, who they travel with, and which homes, workplaces, protests, churches, medical offices, or political events they visit.
6 degrees of separation track EVERYONE.

There needs to be an ordinance with steep fines with criminal penalties for adding devices onto public power poles or poles without labeling.
Right now, any company, private or public can come in and put sniffing devices on anything and get away with it. They can track the Mayor, track The police Chief, sports figures or other dignitaries that come to town, including all of us.

The NDAA doesn't 'merge' the US & 'israeli' militaries. There is ZERO equivalent law in 'israel'.
'israel' gets everything—US data, joint R&D, and supply chain integration.
The US gets no matching access to IOF bases, factories, or decisions.
It's an official one way takeover.
What if you signed a contract to do business with a billionaire? You mortgaged everything because it was such big contract and he was such a big name. You borrowed money to pay for all your building materials and employees.
But, when you complete the job, the billionaire tells his comptroller not to pay you. He says, don't pay him until he takes us to court.
During the wait to go to court he offers you half of what you were supposed to be paid. In your desperation, you agree. But, when you get to his office the comptroller only has a check for a quarter of what he owes you.
