🚨 HE ASKED GROK ONE QUESTION IN HIS TESLA — AND WISHED HE NEVER HEARD THE ANSWER

A man sitting in his Tesla asked Grok the one conspiracy that is actually true and would send the world into a panic.

Grok didn’t hesitate.

The entire internet was built as a government honeypot from day one. ARPANET was DARPA’s project in the 70s.

They didn’t just want to connect computers... they wanted to connect people so every click, search, and message would feed a giant AI that’s been training on us since the Reagan era.

We built their panopticon ourselves the moment we signed up for Gmail, Facebook, TikTok, everything.

No warrants needed.
We already gave permission.

Then Grok went further: say the wrong combination of words out loud or type them into Google or Siri and the algorithm lights up.

Next thing you know your ads change, your mail gets watched, and a black SUV might show up for “routine checks.”

They’re not waiting for you to build anything.
They’re waiting to see if you’re dumb enough to say it.

Would you still talk freely in your car after hearing this… or did Grok just confirm the paranoia was real the whole time?

You’ve got to be shitting me.

We’re spending $20 MILLION of our tax dollars on stun gloves. And we’re supposed to pretend this will cut down on lethal force AND that ICE has good judgment?

This is going to lead to more abuse, not less.

[dan elliott @SpaceXToaster]

Just don't get them wet! 😉

[Christopher Webb @cwebbonline]

The $25 MILLION ICE stun gloves are fucking diabolical.

If you want to see how they’re supposed to work, watch this video. There’s no way this ends well.

Now add this to the fact that DHS has already said body-cam footage will only be released when it’s “beneficial” to ICE.

So ICE gets stun gloves, and ICE gets to decide when we see the footage.

Trump is spending $20 million to give ICE electric shock gloves.

MAGA loves screaming, "They're wearing masks so you can't dox them!" Is that why they'll be wearing the shock gloves too? So their soft little hands don't get doxxed?

Security footage from an apartment complex in Herndon, Virginia captured an ICE goon sneaking around an apartment complex and slapping a tracking device onto a work truck. Where’s the warrant? Probable cause?

This is a really crazy situation that caused quite a stir when it happened.
A “Home Instead” franchise owner Jennifer Hannah in Illinois fired her seven month pregnant staff member Crystal because she was wearing maternity pants. After she fired her, she locked her in the office, and would not let her go because she wanted her identification card back .

Here is Jennifer on the phone with cops asking them to come because she’s afraid of her employee who she has locked in her office with her. The arrogance of this woman is off the charts. Crystal, the former employee is having a panic attack, and begging the owner to please let her out. When police arrived Crystal needed medical attention.
She finally let Crystal out when the police told her that she was not allowed to imprison anyone on the premises.
Jennifer Hannah was served a summons, and had her Home Instead franchise taken away from her by the parent company.

Home Instead issued a statement emphasizing they "do not condone behavior that is inconsistent with our values" and took the incident "very seriously"

ICE is getting electric shock gloves. I guess it's tough to fight grannies, beat up women, and shoot Americans in the back.

No other agency has the gloves or the masks. The reason ICE is the only law enforcement agency in masks is because they aren't there to enforce the law.

Trump secretly transferred from Air Force One in Turkey, via an airport catering truck/container, while leaving his staff and the press behind as decoy human shields. Because a country with no air force or navy that we’ve already beaten 40 times threatened him.

🚨 ROCKTON, ILLINOIS: 8-MONTH-OLD FRENCH BULLDOG COLLAPSES AND DIES FROM EXTREME HEAT WHILE UNDER AN OFFICER’S WATCH - OWNER PLEADS FOR OVER 30 MINUTES FOR HELP

On a hot, 97-degree day, Collazo Gonzalez was pulled over for speeding and detained for driving with a suspended license. Gonzalez stated that he did not know his license was suspended.

Officers detained him and instructed him to call a family member for a ride because his vehicle was going to be towed.

We requested all camera footage through an open records request to find out exactly what happened next.

The result was a clear message from Rockton PD to me and my team:

“You’ll only get what we want to send you.”

They redacted nearly the entire written report. They also redacted very strange portions of the bodycam footage, including a portion where, allegedly, Gonzalez’s aunt was telling the officer over the phone to at least give the dog some water. She also told the officer, “The dog is gonna die if they don’t do anything.”

There were other portions of the bodycam footage that were redacted as well.

Gonzalez was pulled over at 12 : 40 pm. When he was pulled over, Kody, his 8-month-old French Bulldog, was already panting.

When officers removed Gonzalez from the vehicle, they left Kody inside the non-running car for more than 20 minutes. During the process, Gonzalez asked if they could please put Kody in one of their police cars.

He was ignored.

At 1 : 02 pm, Kody was finally placed in the back of the police vehicle with Gonzalez. The AC was not on.

When one of the female officers came to check on them, Gonzalez begged her for air. She turned on the air, but it was not cold.

For the next 15–20 minutes, you can see Kody in visible distress. I have looked over every minute of this footage. And I cried.

I haven’t cried watching bodycam footage in a long time. This made me cry.

And if anyone wants the file, I’ll happily provide it.

Then, approximately 30 minutes after being placed in the back of the hot police vehicle, another male officer finally comes to speak to Gonzalez.

This is the footage I’m showing here. 👇

He listens as Gonzalez pleads with him over and over again while he stands there and doesn’t budge to help.

In additional footage, you can see Gonzalez, with his clearly distressed dog, attempt to head toward a nearby house to get water. He is stopped by the officer so they can read off his citations.

All while there appears to be no urgency for Kody.

They then offered to drive Gonzalez several minutes to a nearby convenience store - not an emergency vet.

And in this footage, they REDACTED anything said about the emergency involving Kody, but the sound came back in when they were discussing Gonzalez’s citations.

I will share another video in the thread with more context regarding this.

Unfortunately, Kody later passed away in Collazo Gonzalez’s arms.

Gonzalez has retained an attorney and has actively tried to raise awareness about what happened to Kody.

RIP, baby. 💔
