Lutnick: Data centers don't use water. This is propaganda by our adversaries to try to slow us down.

Lutnick last year: These AI things suck water. They need water.

Private equity has been quietly buying every boring business in your town and almost nobody has noticed.

Dentists, vets, car washes, HVAC companies, funeral homes. All of it.

The logic is simple. These are businesses people can't stop using. Your dog gets sick whether the economy is good or not. Your air conditioning breaks in July regardless of what the Fed does.

So a fund buys 40 independent vet clinics in a state, keeps the names on the buildings so nobody notices, and now they set the prices for the whole region.

That's why your vet bill doubled and the receptionist can't explain why. She doesn't know either. The pricing comes from somewhere she's never been.

I don't think most people realise how much of their monthly spending now goes to about a dozen funds.

NEW: Flock says its cameras don’t identify or track people

We obtained the code for its police AI and rebuilt parts of it

The tool can find witnesses, surface associates, search people by race or physical description, and flag vehicles by how they move.

Whitney Webb just exposed that Polymarket is part of a secret deep state plan to build a digital control grid.

“Polymarket and Palantir are partners.”

“The goal is not just … mass surveillance.”

“It’s predictive policing.”

“This is the privatized panopticon.”

This story is way darker than you think.

The “official narrative” of Polymarket’s founding is this:

Shayne Coplan created it during Covid, “in his bathroom,” because the “uncertainty” of the Covid era was the “best time for prediction markets.”

Webb declared that story is “bunk.”

“Even though he’s alone in his bathroom building this company … he somehow raises $4 million just three months after the company launches.”

“We know that he had all these connections, particularly the people that sort of bridged the US-Israeli crypto tech scene.”

“And the main people backing him are Coinbase’s earliest employees.”

“Remember, Coinbase takes Augur and sunsets it.”

“Augur was an attempt to resurrect PAM.”

“What was PAM?”

“PAM was the Policy Analysis Market that these guys have been trying to resurrect.”

It was a DARPA project.

“There’s an interview that he gave in 2020 where he said a lot of the passion for the creation of Polymarket … was DARPA’s [PAM].”

“It was part of TIA.”

“Total Information Awareness.”

TIA was another DARPA project launched after 9/11.

The goal was to build a federal mass surveillance apparatus.

TIA was defunded by Congress after public backlash, but it never really went away.

It was just privatized, and eventually became Palantir.

The goal?

“It was to predict.”

“Pre-crime.”

“So Polymarket … just like with PAM, the odds are there to help feed the pre-crime engine.”

“And we know that Polymarket bets can be rigged.”

“And that Polymarket itself puts out misinformation sometimes to make trades swing one way or the other.”

“And that insider trading is a huge problem.”

“The context of that, and as it’s meant to interface with what is now Palantir, is really unsettling.”

THIS IS F*CKING DISTURBING!!!🤯

A leaked Anthropic document just came out in court. Their own words:

"Project Panama is our effort to destructively scan all the books in the world."

Next line: "We don't want it to be known that we are working on this."

They planned to shred every book on the planet, in secret. And they almost got away with it.

It starts with theft. Anthropic stole 7 MILLION books from pirate sites to train Claude, because their CEO said paying authors was too much of a "slog."

Then the lawsuits hit and they needed a legal way to keep going. So they hired the ex-head of Google Books and sent him to publishers to ask for permission. Publishers said no.

That's when they found the loophole.

Buy millions of real, physical books. Cut the spines off with a hydraulic blade, scan the loose pages, and throw what's left in recycling.

One vendor offered to destroy 2 MILLION books in 6 months. That's 11,000 books a day.

Now the insane part.. destroying the books is what made it legal.

If you scan a book and keep it, that's a crime. If you scan it and shred it, that's fair use. A judge actually approved this, which means the shredder WAS the legal strategy.

They still paid $1.5 billion for the stolen books, the biggest copyright settlement in history. Works out to $3,000 per book.

And the scans are locked in Anthropic's private library forever. Nobody outside the company will ever see them. The authors got a shredded book and nothing else.

The part I can't stop thinking about is that a book on a shelf lasts 500 years without power, wifi, or a subscription, and the AI it was destroyed for gets thrown away in 18 months.

They killed something permanent to feed something disposable.
