🚨 THE CEO OF FLOCK JUST SAID THE QUIET PART OUT LOUD — AND PEOPLE ARE LOSING IT
Remember when Flock cameras were only supposed to read license plates?
Apparently that's not enough anymore.
Now we're talking about AI that can find a vehicle from a simple description.
Microphones that are always listening for so called "sounds of distress."
Drones that can be launched automatically after a 911 call.
And camera networks that can follow movement across entire cities.
Every year the cameras get smarter.
The databases get bigger.
The AI gets more powerful.
And the amount of information being collected keeps growing.
Then came the comment that really got people's attention.
The CEO behind Flock, one of the largest camera networks in America reportedly compared people who map camera locations to terrorists.
Think about that for a second.
The cameras aren't the problem.
The people tracking the cameras are.
Some people see a tool that makes communities safer.
Others see a system that knows where you've been, where you are, and eventually where you're likely to go next.
If mapping Flock cameras makes you a "terrorist," what does that make the people putting cameras everywhere?
Kathy Hochul is converting hundreds of thousands of acres of rich New York farmland into solar farms that sit under snow six months a year.
Some foreign company is getting paid, while our farmers are losing everything, and your electric bill is spiking.
When I am Governor, I will protect our farmland to lower food prices, and repower real power plants to cut your electric bill in half.
What a sad ending to prime farmland, grassland habitat, pastoral history, and viewsheds for everyone in this area.
“It’s my property - I’ll do what I want!”
Zoning exists for a reason. It’s why you can’t build a Walmart in your backyard if you decide to one day. The zoning creates predictability that protects everyone’s property values.
When one person is allowed to deviate and build an industrial complex, equipped with perimeter fencing, Chinese-made panels, “danger signs,” and access roads… it causes everyone else surrounding the complex to suffer a decrease in their property value.
How is that fair or American?
Along the way, the soil, water, and wildlife pay the price… and we’ll all be paying an even bigger price when a food autonomy crisis looms on the horizon.
You want a country with OWNERS, lots of them
You want the people of your nation to personally OWN their properties and maintain them
A nation of homeless slaves is not a flex… that’s been the norm for millennia
—That’s why Americans WERE the exception
I used to say this when I began to fight for our open spaces at local town board meetings.
I didn’t get why they’re putting the panels on prime farmland.
And then I began an 8 month long investigative look into the “green” energy industry.
The only thing green about green energy is the disgusting amounts of money being laundered between corrupt American politicians and foreign corporations.
Why do they target farmland?
4 reasons. A solar salesman told me this:
1) the land is already flattened / cleared so they can get the panels in quicker
2) the scalability… the more acres covered, the more subsidies and credits earned
3) solar companies count on rural Americans being “too dumb” to have an attorney review the contracts
4) solar companies know rural towns don’t have the funds to enlist legal help to stop the complexes
this is f*cking gold
A senior Google engineer dropped a 424-page doc on agentic design patterns.
424 pages.
Most engineers bookmarked it and never opened it again.
if I had this a year ago, I would've shipped my first app in a day instead of 2 weeks
in the right hands, this changes everything:
Your government will cheerfully let you:
- Drink until your liver waves a white flag
- Smoke forty a day for fifty years
- Inhale a kebab at 3am with a fistful of chips and a fizzy drink the colour of antifreeze
- Eat ultra-processed gunge until you're diabetic at thirty-four
- Swallow pills with a side-effects leaflet folded like a road map
- Get inked by a bloke called Spider in a garage that smells of Dettol and regret
- Hurl yourself out of a perfectly good aeroplane
- Climb a frozen mountain that kills experienced men every year
- Pay good money to swim with sharks
But there is one substance so dangerous, so reckless, that a grown adult cannot be trusted with it:
- Milk. From a healthy cow. On a clean farm. The next village over.
They'll wave you onto the skydive and the shark cage, then step in to save you from a glass of the stuff your great-grandparents drank every single morning of their lives.
Funny, that.
Hubby’s 2012 GMC truck needs a new part and the cheapest 'cost' quote? OVER $3500 😡
We’ve ALWAYS driven reliable used vehicles - GMC/Chevy trucks that last. Now they’re pricing repairs so high it’s basically forcing folks into brand new ultra-expensive newer spy mobiles. Your choice... until parts for everything else become impossible or unaffordable. This is all by design. 👀
It's one of the many reasons used car prices went up dramatically during the Biden era.. they were pushing everyone into an electric vehicle to "save the planet" 🙄
They're squeezing us from both sides, unaffordable repairs on reliable old trucks + new vehicles full of tracking tech. Rural families, working people, and DIYers get hit the hardest.
I'll buy a horse before I buy a new spy mobile that can shut down when it believes I'm too "anxious" to drive.

Every state is different but this is outrageous
UPS: “Your package is in your city, on a truck driven by Mike. It will arrive on your doorstep at 6:27pm today.”

If Americans knew where their beef came from, they could CHOOSE not to support those countries.

🇬🇧 UK - June 13th and people all across the UK are both out protesting and reporting this is the first time they’ve seen the Sun out in June in 13 days.
The ones looking up all know why - you can see it. Planes never used to do this.

A new legal filing seeks to stop Bayer-Monsanto’s proposed Roundup settlement, saying it violates the Constitution. Bayer and a group of plaintiffs’ lawyers, including Seeger Weiss LLP, structured a class action settlement in a Missouri state court that would lock all future Roundup-cancer victims into a program where they would receive as little as $6,000 and mades it very difficult to opt-out. The law firms that struck this deal with Bayer, on the other hand, will see a windfall $675 million payout for helping Bayer.
“It would reward Bayer and Monsanto for its past deeds and give them the green light to have Roundup sprayed everywhere on everything and everybody …,” The new court filing states. “Approval of the settlement would be to free one of the nation’s most notorious, long-term polluters from jury trials and real liability for their misdeeds.”
In the May 22 filing in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri, lawyer Ashley Keller sought to “remove” the case from state court to federal court jurisdiction. The hope is that the matter would then be sent to federal court where U.S. District Judge Vince Chhabria has been overseeing the nationwide Roundup litigation since 2016. Chhabria is on record as questioning the ethics of the settlement, calling it “filthy”, “mind-boggling,” “legally problematic,” and plagued with “major problems. But Chhabria has no jurisdiction over a state court matter. “This class action was filed not to litigate active claims, but to launder a liability-management scheme through the courts,” the removal filing states. ⤵️
