NEW: Group of men spotted lifting a manhole cover and climbing into the sewer system on Long Island, NY.
What the hell is going on with these men crawling into New York sewers?
🚨WOW, they weren't kidding... A 300-pound lioness and her cub really are on the loose in Indiana
The lioness was wearing a BLUE HARNESS.
Nobody reported a missing lion. No sanctuary is short a lion.
No permits exist to own a lion in that county.
Somebody in Indiana has an illegal lion and suddenly REAL quiet🤣

For those who do not want to read…
Here are the…
Fast facts from the post:
• Main claim: While activists focused on canceling visible Flock Safety license-plate cameras (ALPR), Axon (the Taser/body-cam company) quietly rolled out a more advanced, harder-to-detect alternative.
• Axon’s system: “Axon Lightpost” cameras plug into the standard NEMA socket on top of existing street lights (hundreds of millions of them worldwide). They look like ordinary light sensors, install in ~15 minutes, draw power from the grid, use LTE, and are weather/vandal-resistant. They read plates at long range/high speed and also track vehicle attributes (make, model, color, damage, etc.).
• Extra layers: Axon also offers Outpost cameras and in-car Fleet 3 systems. Data feeds into Fusus-powered Real-Time Crime Centers that can combine government cameras with voluntary private feeds (Ring doorbells, business CCTV, HOA cameras). Facial recognition and predictive tools can be layered on.
• Denver example: City canceled its Flock contract amid privacy backlash, then quickly signed a smaller Axon ALPR deal. Axon already held major body-cam/Taser contracts with Denver, creating easy “vendor lock-in.”
• Broader point: The pattern (drop Flock → adopt Axon) is spreading. The new systems are less visible, more integrated, and harder to challenge legally or remove. The post is labeled Part 1 of a 3-part series on Axon surveillance.
In short: Visible Flock cameras got the public heat; Axon’s street-light-embedded version is presented as the quieter, more capable replacement.
The City That Canceled Its Flock Contract Just Signed a $23 Million Deal for Something Worse…
While every activist in America was focused on tearing down Flock cameras, a 40-year-old company was quietly installing surveillance devices inside existing street lights.
Denver canceled its Flock contract. Then it signed a deal with Axon for something far more capable — and far harder to see.
This is Part 1 of a three-part investigation into Axon Enterprise and the next generation of American surveillance infrastructure.
Part 2: The Network

Part 3 of this investigation follows the money — from the $220 million ICE contract that costs $12,359 per Taser to the stock purchases that preceded it.

The Distraction Worked
For the past eighteen months, the national debate over mass surveillance in America has centered on a single company: Flock Safety. The outrage was earned. Flock deployed over 113,000 solar-powered cameras across 5,000 communities in 49 states, recording more than 20 billion vehicle scans per month without warrants, without public hearings, and in many cases without the knowledge of the citizens being tracked.
The backlash was real. Citizens in at least 23 municipalities forced their city councils to cancel Flock contracts. Activists spray-painted the cameras. A 20-year-old in West Virginia cut one down and received nearly 20,000 alibis from strangers online. Courts ruled the data was a public record. The Institute for Justice filed a landmark Fourth Amendment lawsuit. A Washington man named Jose Rodriguez won the legal right to see his own surveillance footage — and the state legislature responded by making it illegal for anyone to ever ask again.
The resistance was focused, organized, and effective.
It was also aimed at the wrong target.
The Company You Weren't Watching
While every camera Flock installed was a visible, vandal-prone, solar-powered pillar mounted seven feet off the ground with hose clamps, a far more sophisticated system was being deployed by a company most Americans know only as "the Taser people."
Axon Enterprise has been in the law enforcement technology business for nearly 40 years. It manufactures the majority of police body-worn cameras in the United States. It operates https://t.co/8zgq8ObM7W, the dominant cloud platform where police departments store body-cam footage. It makes the Taser weapons carried by officers in virtually every American police department.
In April 2020, Axon partnered with Flock Safety. Two years later — right before Flock became a household name for all the wrong reasons — Axon quietly ended the partnership and stepped out of the spotlight.
It was not stepping away from surveillance. It was building something Flock never could.
The Camera Inside Your Street Light.
The fundamental weakness of Flock's hardware was that you could see it. A black pillar with a solar panel bolted to a pole is obvious. It requires new infrastructure, municipal permitting, and presents an easy target for anyone with a can of spray paint or a pair of bolt cutters.
Axon engineered a solution to all of those problems by exploiting infrastructure that already exists in every city in America.
The Axon Lightpost, developed in partnership with Ubicquia, is a surveillance camera designed to plug directly into the NEMA 7-pin photocell socket — the industry-standard fitting found on top of over 350 million street lights worldwide. That socket has been on lamp poles for 60 years. It traditionally houses a simple light sensor that turns the lamp on at dusk and off at dawn.
Axon replaced the light sensor with an AI-powered license plate reader.
The device draws regulated AC power (up to 480V) directly from the municipal electrical grid. It requires no solar panel, no new pole, no trenching, and no specialized electrical permitting. Installation takes less than fifteen minutes and can be performed by a utility worker with no network engineering skills.
Once energized, it operates autonomously. A built-in LTE modem provides persistent cellular connectivity to Axon's cloud ecosystem, entirely independent of municipal Wi-Fi or on-site network infrastructure. The unit is encased in IK10-rated vandal-resistant housing, carries an IP66 weather rating, and survives hurricane-force winds up to 150 miles per hour. It operates continuously in temperatures from -40°F to 140°F.
The camera module — an Axis Q1800-LE — captures license plates across multiple traffic lanes at distances up to 328 feet, on vehicles traveling at speeds up to 155 miles per hour, at 1080p resolution and 90 frames per second.
It looks like a street light.
The Lightpost is supplemented by the Axon Outpost — a standalone camera that combines ALPR, live video streaming, and Vehicle Attribute Recognition (VAR) for areas without optimal street lighting. It can be mounted on buildings, trailers, poles, or trees, powered by either 110V connections or independent solar panels.
Both devices use Vehicle Attribute Recognition to identify and index not just license plates but the physical characteristics of the vehicle itself — make, model, color, roof racks, bumper stickers, body damage. If a vehicle has no plate, a stolen plate, or the plate is intentionally obscured, the system can still track it.
Axon also deploys Fleet 3, an in-car camera system that turns every police cruiser into a mobile plate reader. Legacy in-car systems had a capture area of approximately 192 cubic feet. Fleet 3 uses a 60-degree field of view covering three full lanes at 50 feet — a detection volume 90 times greater than previous systems, capturing plates at closing speeds of 140 mph and returning hotlist alerts in under one second.
Between the fixed Lightpost cameras hiding in street lights, the flexible Outpost cameras on any available structure, and the mobile Fleet 3 cameras roving in every patrol car, Axon has engineered a layered optical dragnet where practically no vehicular movement can evade detection.
The Brain: Real-Time Crime Centers
Hardware collects data. What makes Axon's system categorically different from Flock is what happens to that data after it's collected.
Axon acquired Fusus, a cloud-native software platform that powers Real-Time Crime Centers (RTCCs) — centralized command hubs where law enforcement analysts monitor walls of screens fed by every sensor in the network simultaneously. The Electronic Frontier Foundation's Atlas of Surveillance has documented over 135 established or forthcoming RTCCs in the United States, with approximately 20% running on Fusus.
Fusus eliminates the data fragmentation that historically limited law enforcement. Body-cam footage, ALPR hits, drone feeds, gunshot detection alerts, and 911 dispatch data used to live in separate, disconnected databases. Fusus pulls all of it into a single, interactive live map.
It gets worse.
Through the "Community Connect" program, Fusus allows private citizens, homeowners' associations, and commercial businesses to voluntarily share their private security camera feeds directly with the police.
Your Ring doorbell.
Your business's CCTV system. Your HOA's gate camera. All of it can be piped into the Real-Time Crime Center and overlaid on the same map as the government's own cameras.
This creates what privacy researchers call a hybridized public-private surveillance mesh. When an incident is reported, an RTCC analyst can instantly access a mosaic of camera angles — an Axon Lightpost scanning the intersection, a business camera viewing the sidewalk, a Ring doorbell covering the driveway — and track a subject's movements in real time.
The platform can also integrate with facial recognition software. It is used not only for live incident response but for historical data mining and predictive policing. Because Fusus permanently records and indexes the movements of millions of citizens, it transforms passive observation into an active, globally searchable database of human behavior — without requiring a warrant.
The Denver Paradigm
If there is a single case study that reveals how this replacement strategy works in practice, it is Denver, Colorado.
In early 2026, following intense public pressure over reports that Flock camera data was being accessed by federal immigration authorities, the Denver City Council opted not to renew its 10-year, $22 million contract with Flock. The council drafted a letter citing Flock's "disregard for honesty and accountability." Civil liberties advocates celebrated.
The celebration was premature.
Denver Mayor Mike Johnston rapidly pushed through a one-year, $150,000 contract with Axon to replace the dismantled Flock cameras with 50 new Axon ALPR systems. The justification was revealing: Axon was deemed a "reliable partner" because the city already used Axon to store its body-cam footage on https://t.co/8zgq8ObM7W.
That dependency was not accidental. Just months earlier, Denver had approved a five-year, $27 million contract with Axon for 2,563 new body cameras and 2,175 Tasers. Because Axon already controlled the city's digital evidence vault and hardware infrastructure, the barrier to entry for their surveillance cameras was essentially zero.
This is vendor lock-in operating as designed. Axon weaponized Flock's public relations catastrophe to capture the market — replacing a highly visible threat with a deeply integrated, less transparent, and vastly more capable alternative. The ACLU of Colorado noted that despite promises of 21-day data retention limits, the dragnet surveillance of innocent civilians remained functionally unchanged.
Denver is not unique. This pattern — cancel Flock, sign Axon — is replicating across the country.
The Constitutional Crisis Nobody Filed a Lawsuit Over
The legal challenges to Flock cameras were built on the "Mosaic Theory" of the Fourth Amendment — the principle, recognized by the Supreme Court in Carpenter v. United States (2018), that while a single observation of a vehicle in public may not constitute a "search," the continuous, aggregated collection of location data over time violates a reasonable expectation of privacy.
That theory was successfully applied by the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals in Leaders of a Beautiful Struggle v. Baltimore Police Department (2021), which struck down Baltimore's aerial surveillance program as unconstitutional.
Axon's system presents the same constitutional violations as Flock — but with additional layers that make legal challenge harder. Because the cameras are physically integrated into existing municipal infrastructure, they don't require the same permitting process that triggered public notice and opposition to Flock installations. Because the data flows through Fusus alongside private camera feeds volunteered by citizens and businesses, the line between government search and private observation is deliberately blurred. Because the entire ecosystem is bundled into multi-year SaaS contracts that also include body cameras and Tasers, separating the surveillance component for legal challenge requires disentangling contracts worth tens of millions of dollars.
Legal scholars have warned that the current Fourth Amendment framework — built for an era of physical trespass and episodic investigation — is fundamentally unequipped to regulate passive, ubiquitous, and continuous digital surveillance. The gap between what the technology can do and what the law can stop is widening every month that a lawsuit is not filed.
What This Means for Your City
There are over 350 million street lights with the NEMA 7-pin socket that the Axon Lightpost was designed to exploit. Installation takes fifteen minutes. No city council vote is required in many jurisdictions. No new infrastructure is visible to the public.
If your city canceled its Flock contract, the most likely replacement is already on the market — and it was designed from the ground up to be invisible, indestructible, and legally entangled with the body cameras and Tasers your police department already depends on.
The question is not whether your city has these cameras. The question is whether anyone on your city council knows the difference between the surveillance system they canceled and the one they just approved.

Stone House Farm which is located Western PA area, they use regenerative methods to cultivate our 10 acres. They raise Katahdin sheep, chickens, ducks, and bees.
They’re mad… justifiably so!
Read on…🫣
I’m really mad.
With no notice, yesterday a plane flew weirdly low over our property.
We’ve found 6 LIVE rabies vaccines so far in our front yard area. **this is our mowed, cared for, played in area of our 10 acres**
One of those packets my sons found and ripped open because he didn’t know what it was.
Like any 8 or 5 year old boys they didn’t bother to wash their hands or tell their parents until the next day when I warned my kids about the issue.
There seems to be no concern for our livestock, pets, or precious children. All in the name of safety, we put our most precious things at risk just to *possibly* treat a few coons that may or may not have any risk of rabies.
We will take care of the coons ourselves…thank you very much.
Please let me know if you have any additional information on this issue- 15010 for reference.
Who’s got any information of this?
Sound off.
Our healthcare system is horribly failing Americans
There is a tiny town of only 5,500 people right on the Mexico border of California and Arizona
This tiny town has over 1,000 dentist offices that cater to “dental tourism” of Americans heading across the border to get dental care because they can’t afford it in America
“Every year, more than a million Americans cross the border into Los Algodones, where they can get more affordable dental care, things like root canals and veneers and implants”
This has become such a destination for dental tourism it’s become known as “Molar City”
Prices are as much as 80% cheaper compared to the US
“Look what happens when you zoom into this tiny little town. Boom. Dentist, dentist, dentist”
ZOOM IN: CNN was just FORCED to APOLOGIZE — showing photo of a Dolly Parton impersonator, named Kelly Vohnn in RIP piece
‘We regret the error and apologize to the PARTON family’
A Kentucky officer ran 2,048 Flock camera searches to track the mother of his child. No warrant. No probable cause. No judge ever saw it.
The Fourth Amendment protects Americans against unreasonable searches, and retracing where someone drove for five months is a search. And it’s why I take issue with surveillance networks like Flock.

@WallStreetApes That happened to me too. They tried to tell me that they have to substitute the chicken sometimes. It was disgusting. I couldn't eat it. I waited a few months and got the same poor quality chicken again. They don't even have slaw anymore.
This video is going extremely viral with nearly 100,000 Likes because something very obviously has changed with Chick-fil-A chicken
If you look closely at this chicken, it almost doesn’t look like chicken anymore. You’d probably think it was fish
But this is what Chick-fil-A chicken looks like because their texture is different than what it used to be
Also, the chicken is no longer just chicken. There’s a chemical and water solution that’s added
The chicken breast contains up to 17% solution of water” plus seasoning:
‘Yeast extract, onion powder, sea salt, garlic powder, sugar, salt, corn maltodextrin, gum arabic, natural flavor, lemon juice concentrate, vinegar solids), chicken flavor (chicken breast meat, chicken stock, salt, maltodextrin), modified corn starch, dried vinegar, apple cider vinegar, soybean oil, sugar, cane molasses, spices, chicken fat, and other binders/flavorings like xanthan gum.’
Up to 17% of the weight of the grilled chicken piece can be this added solution
It's Over.
We just left the Federal Courthouse in Tampa. The California man who threatened the lives of my wife, my 4 children, and myself in explicit detail was just sentenced after pleading guilty: 11 months in federal prison. 2 years probation. Restraining order.
Kate and I delivered victim statements to the court. The Judge did a profound job of reasoning through the sentencing and explaining the weight of rising political violence and its effect on our Constitutional freedoms. The Judge wanted this case to be a deterrence for others who would terrorize a family.
That is why we’re sharing this today...
George Isabell sent a letter to my house a week after Charlie was murdered, threatening to blow my head off in front of my family. This letter, compounded with a multitude of other physical threats at our doorstep had my wife terrified. Our kids were scared. We had to hire security. New cameras. Gates. We had police outside our house for months. My kids were forced to shelter inside out of fear for their safety. This is terrorism.
This type of evil has no place in any civil society. Having a different opinion shouldn't put a target on your back. We thank the judge for ruling in favor of our God-given liberties. We thank you deeply for all the prayers and messages you've sent in support of our family.
As a Christian, I encourage you all not to harbor hate. Choose forgiveness. We forgive this man. And we leave justice in the hands of righteous men to wield for the terror of evil men.
"For the one in authority is God’s servant for your good. But if you do wrong, be afraid, for rulers do not bear the sword for no reason."
