The parents got this letter from the high school serving Weare & Henniker, NH.

They cancel welding & small engine courses because they could not find the teachers.

But they replace those with Arabic & Culture course? Wonder why our kids can't compete.

Every single voting machine in the USA is compromised.

Almost all of them are manufactured in China — with Chinese components.

The machines are then shipped to Taiwan where false labels are prepared so they appear to be made in Taiwan.

They all must be destroyed.

Something to think about:

We know that there were miillions of accounts collecting Social Security but we were never told who the names on the receiving accounts were.

Congress, are oddly silent on learning the answer to that simple question.

Who was collecting the money that was paid out?

The MET police are PART of the muslim rape gangs.

They held “cop nights” where they took turns raping little girls.

They also transported little girls in official police vehicles so they would not get caught.

The police, the courts, the politicians are all complicit

I am 100% convinced that every single mosque in the United States has an armory.

They are preparing for a full jihadist takeover.

Americans can’t afford to eat while illegals get $4,500/mo in free money.

And then republicans campaign to bring in even more foreigners.

My brother in Christ, the northern half of DFW already looks that way.

Houston, Austin, some small enclaves of SA…. In 2 years they will have a serious political foothold and this state will flip.

Texas is the big red fence for the rest of the country.

The gate in that big red fence is being kicked open by Marxist, Hindus, and Muslims all temporarily working together.

The chain reaction is now sustaining. We can no longer vote our way out. McKinney proved it last night with their 7-0 vote.

The Texas GOP not only was ineffective at stoping it… They DIRECTLY profited from it.

God have mercy on Texas.

You're sitting in your backyard, kids in the inflatable pool. Then the high-pitched scream of small motors.

And a large drone is hovering over them.

You shout for the kids to go inside. They run.

Maybe it's a Flock drone?

What do you do? Do you need to show your hands? Or can you throw something at it? Would that be illegal?

Drone spends a minute looking around. It turns and gets closer. You see the cameras center you. Looks kinda like a spider eye.

Scanning your face? You try to hold still, smile, and not look like a threat.

And then it's gone.

Were you in danger? Were you a suspect in a violent crime?

Or are you suspected of violating a water use ordinance by filling the pool?

You hear your kids crying inside. What do you tell them?

This is a scenario. For now.

But Flock is deploying drones this September in places like Lancaster, NY.

They already operate 120,000+ cameras, but Flock pole cameras were just the leading edge. It's clear that drones-in-your-backyard come next.

Flock has shown that their model is to push as fast and hard as they can into communities. Outrunning oversight and bypassing the public.

Flock claims self-regulation. But Flock has few incentives to publicly disclose abuses. What they do have is an incentive to use spin & secrecy.

Abuses, everywhere:
And the abuse cases are spiraling: Officer Ayala in Milwaukee tracked his ex over 180 times. Police chief Steffman in Georgia ran a woman & her teen daughter through flock ~600 times. 10 cops under investigation in Mooresville NC over abuse, 6 city employees in Savannah suspended... Plenty more cases are surfacing nationwide.

And these are just the obvious ones that got caught.

Same kind of official that abused Flock poles will abuse Flock drones, especially as the sensors multiply and data gets richer. And the same pressures that lead to petty police misconduct & intimidation will only grow with the ability to buzz a home with a drone.

But...how about sloving crimes?
And yes, people feel insecure. And Flock talks about solving crimes, but these things are not a binary. Technology can simultaneously help police catch criminals, and represent an intolerable surveillance overreach. Especially when it is physically unavoidable.

Frisking everyone before they could walk out the door of their home could also solve many crimes...

There needs to be a better balance.

Regular people minding their own business should be able to trust that this powerful surveillance tech won't be used against them. Or their loved ones. But right now, we just can't trust that.

And you are in Flock's grid just to live your life...

We Deserve a Say
People must have a say in the places where governments can observe and track them. We give governments certain powers, and not others based on balancing our rights and the kind of society we want to live in.

A lot of local governments can't seem to spot the problem, and adopt these systems while minimizing citizen input and oversight. So citizens need to get ahead of the Flock lobbyists, show up at city council meetings, bring facts. And ask tough questions.

We also local privacy commissions. The number of Flock and Flock-like cases are growing. And it's really clear that most local governments are failing at their jobs.

No sex offender registry

Not even a rape conviction on his criminal record

Fuck this absolute joke of a justice system

The State Department shouldn't let the socialists get to the right of them on J-1.

Here's Bernie Sanders saying the program is a scam that replaces young Americans.

Does Marco Rubio have a response to that?

A man hopped the fence of a NYC church and SMASHED a statue of the Virgin Mary.

Police are now investigating this as a possible hate crime.

This is the FOURTH time this church has been vandalized.

My wife and I went to a new dentist when we first moved to town. He came highly recommended so we didn’t think twice.

At the first appointment, he told me I had 7 cavities. He told my wife she had 2.

My wife has never had a cavity in her life. But we reluctantly got them filled.

After she got them filled, I scheduled my appointment. But then, we got skeptical. Life comes at you fast when you’re staring at a bill to fill 7 cavities.

So I asked for a copy of the X-rays and sent them to my uncle who is a dentist in another state.

He confirmed what we were starting to believe. That dentist was full of it. The x-rays were such low quality that you couldn’t confirm if I had even a single cavity. Let alone 7.

We cancelled our appointment and found a new dentist. The new dentist said I didn’t have any.

The experience still shocks me to this day. Makes you wonder, how much medical fraud is out there that no one knows about? Especially in dentistry

Some white people are at Custer State Park in South Dakota just petting donkeys

Look how openly racist all the comments are

White people are going to have an incredibly bleak future when they become the minority in America. It’s clear racism towards white people isn’t just normalized, it’s celebrated

🇪🇸 Sevilla, España | 🔴 Así evitan los vecinos del Polígono Sur (Sevilla) la construcción de una mezquita y centro islámico: Lanzando huesos de jamón al terreno donde se pretende construir.
Según el islam, no se pueden construir mezquitas sobre terreno que se considere contaminado, siendo el cerdo un animal impuro y que, para ellos, contamina el suelo.

🇩🇪 En Alemania, un ciudadano experimentó un poco de diversidad cultural, al discutir con un Mustafa que lo amenazó con un machete y pistola, y le rompió las puertas de su local. Luego Mustafa se fué sin problemas en su Audi.
¿Por que a ellos no le aplican la ley de armas?
