The city of Ironton, Ohio is now considering passing a law that would ban Flock/APLR and other mass surveillance devices/software from their city.
If towns/cities don't want to lose future lawsuits, they'd all be wise to adopt similar measures and stop violating their citizens rights. Time will tell...
Plan accordingly...

Activist: "Going plant-based means nothing has to die for my dinner."
Farmer: "Ever walked behind a combine?"
Activist: "No."
Farmer: "Follow one across a wheat field in August. Mice, voles, leverets, ground-nesting birds that sat tight instead of running. The buzzards learn the timetable and sit on the poles waiting. Then there's the rat poison round the grain store, the slug pellets on the oilseed, the pigeons shot off the brassicas, and whatever dies against the rabbit fence."
Activist: "That's incidental. It isn't deliberate."
Farmer: "It's annual, and it's on the invoice. The vole hasn't got an opinion about your intentions. You've drawn a line between the death you paid for and the death you paid for and didn't have to watch."
Activist: "It's still fewer deaths than eating meat."
Farmer: "Depends on the field. One bullock off a hill that's never seen a plough feeds a family for months and cost the wildlife the grass and nothing else. A hundred acres of arable gets combined, sprayed and baited every year to make your bread."
Activist: "You can't seriously claim veganism kills more."
Farmer: "I'm claiming nobody eats without something dying. You've chosen the version where it dies out of sight and called that innocence."
“En la obra de Tolkien no hay mujeres. Se nota que fue un autor de su época.”
Galadriel: su mera presencia infundía terror al hombre mas fuerte, siendo capaz de intimidar y doblegar sus mentes. Una de las elfas mas sabias y poderosas de la Tierra Media.
Éowyn: se carga al Rey Brujo de Angmar sin pestañear y a su bestia alada, salvando así la Tierra Media.
Arwen: rechaza su inmortalidad por una vida junto a su gran amor Aragorn. Uno de los mayores actos de sacrificio.
Lúthien: fue la heroína elfa mas grande de El Silmarillion. Desafió al dios oscuro Morgoth para rescatar a su amado Beren, derrotó a Sauron, y eligió renunciar a su inmortalidad para compartir el destino mortal con su esposo.
Melian: una Maia que fundó el reino de Doriath y lo protegió.
Haleth: después de que los Orcos acabaran con su padre y su hermano, se convirtió en la líder de los Haladin, y mantuvo viva a su gente durante siete días de asedio.
Pero sí, supongo que las mujeres de Tolkien son floreros y él era un machista.
Solo un ignorante puede atreverse a hacer tal afirmación.
The crime they see: 15,415 litres of water to produce one kilogram of beef. Every campaign, every documentary, every leaflet through the door since about 2012.
The crime they do: not reading the paper.
The figure is real. It comes from Mekonnen and Hoekstra at the University of Twente, and it is careful, peer-reviewed work. What the campaigns strip out is that the same authors split that number into three parts, because the three parts are not the same thing at all.
Green water is rain. It falls on the grass. The cow eats the grass. For beef, green water is about 94 per cent of that headline.
Blue water is the stuff that matters. Rivers, lakes, aquifers. The stuff that gets pumped, metered, fought over in court, and does not come back.
So here is the blue water, in litres per kilogram, from the same authors, same method, same units.
- Pistachios: 7,602
- Almonds: 3,816
- Walnuts: 2,451
- Dates: 1,250
- Cashews: 921
- Beef: 550
Read that last line again, then go and look at what is in your granola.
The 15,415 counts rain that fell on a Welsh hillside as a cost, against an animal that was standing in it, on land where nothing else grows, in a country where rain is the one thing we have never once been short of.
The pistachio is drinking fourteen times more of the water that actually runs out.
She is outside in the rain right now, getting blamed for it.
BREAKING: Ukraine is the new porn capital.
Parliament has legalized the production and distribution of pornography.
The country is at war. Men are dying on the frontlines. Zelensky is passing porn laws.
@YoDanno I still reread The Belgariad and The Mallorean every year! Love them! It’s hard to say what hooked me because I read so many in a short time, but I read The Chronicles of Narnia pretty young and that probably got the ball rolling.
Truck drivers are now taking down Flock cameras in an Ohio town by ramming directly into the poles, and more people are starting to do the same.
The destruction has reportedly triggered a chain reaction, with other drivers following suit and leaving law enforcement scrambling.
Even people without vehicles are joining in, using baseball bats to smash the cameras.
"The vandalism is part of a trend across the country."
The Museum Civilization
There is a peculiar class of modern Westerner who believes history has been permanently retired.
They speak of conquest the way a child speaks of wolves. Simply confident it no longer applies, offended that you would even mention it, and deeply upset when reminded that teeth still exist.
They insist the world runs on rules now and that borders are sacred. Also that true power has been replaced by paperwork.
This belief is not moral in the least. It’s f*****g archaeological.
They live inside institutions built by violence, defended by men they no longer understand, and guaranteed by forces they refuse to acknowledge. Like tourists wandering a fortress, they admire the stonework while mocking the idea of a siege.
They confuse order with nature. EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. Then blame the person that reminds them of this.
Civilization is not the default state of humanity. It is an achievement that is temporary, fragile, and expensive. It exists only where force once cleared the ground and still quietly patrols the perimeter.
A lion does not debate the ethics of hunger. Neither does a starving empire.
History is not a morality play, it is a pressure test. When pressure rises, abstractions collapse first. Laws follow power; they do NOT precede it. Property exists only where someone can prevent it from being taken. Sovereignty is not declared, it is enforced.
The modern West outsourced this enforcement, then forgot the invoice existed.
So when someone points out uncomfortable realities (whether about Greenland, Venezuela, or the broader balance of power) they respond with ritual incantations: “You can’t do that.” “That’s wrong.” “That’s against the rules.”
As if the rules themselves are armed. As if history paused because we asked nicely.
This is how empires fall. Not from invasion alone, but from conceptual rot. From mistaking a long season of safety for a permanent condition. From believing lethality is immoral instead of foundational.
Every civilization that forgot how violence works eventually relearned it the hard way. The conquerors did not arrive because they were monsters; they arrived because their victims could no longer imagine them.
The tragedy is not that power still exists. The tragedy is that so many have forgotten it does.
Idk who needs to hear this but civilization is a garden grown atop a graveyard. Ignore the soil, and someone else will plant something far less gentle.
Hate me for being the messenger and asking the hard questions about conquest if you want. You’re just wasting your time.
A teammate felt guilty for praying.
A few of us were sitting in the Team Room after a hard day of training.
This guy was a stud. He came to our team from the 75th Ranger Regiment.
Multiple combat deployments. A tactical phenom.
With shame in his voice he confessed he only prayed when he was on a dangerous mission or a high-risk training event.
"I feel like I'm being fake, only praying during those times."
I told him I didn't think he was fake at all.
In moments of real danger, everything goes quiet.
Suddenly you see clearly.
The man you should be.
The things you should do.
What you should stop doing.
Risk of death has a way of burning off the noise.
The problem was never that he prayed in danger.
The work is holding onto that clarity when the danger is gone.
To carry it into the ordinary days.
That's where most men lose it.
I saw a post that asked: "How would you feel if you found out your neighbor has 40 guns and 10,000 rounds of ammunition?"
My answer: "Pretty damn good because if shit goes down I know at least one dude that has my back and has the hardware"
I hope this makes liberals cry!!
No. Zero sympathy. These are the same justices who ruled against securing our border and protecting American citizenship. They don’t get extra protections we don’t get. Not one dime more.
So they pass laws in favor of illegals that make American citizens unsafe, but want 15 million more tax payers dollars for their own private safety. Got it.
Hey, @Flock_Safety and the rest of the Surveillance State using 1984 as a DIY guide rather than the warning it is, you should probably brush up on your American History and meditate on your decisions that led you here.
Historically speaking, this is the peaceful option. Take the hint.
Unless you are announcing an end to all immigration, and the start of the largest deportation operation in history…
Americans don’t give a shit what you have to say!!!
