flock enables local cops to become even more petty and dictatorial than is usually the case giving them more tools to use in their bully tactics;

 

Morale inside the surveillance company has deteriorated so badly amid the public backlash that employees are considering leaving. Flock has now introduced a voluntary separation program offering severance, subsidized healthcare, and additional time to exercise vested stock options. People familiar with the program believe a significant number of Flock’s roughly 1,500 employees could apply. This is what happens when people finally discover what has been constructed around them.

Flock was sold to communities as a crime fighting tool. Put cameras around town, read license plates, find stolen cars, catch criminals. It always begins with something that sounds reasonable. Nobody walks into a city council meeting and announces, “We would like to construct a nationwide surveillance network capable of recording where ordinary citizens travel.” You sell it incrementally under the banner of safety. Then the network expands, databases become interconnected, thousands of agencies gain access, and suddenly technology created to find a stolen automobile can potentially reconstruct the movements of people who have committed no crime whatsoever.

The abuses are precisely why the public has become angry. Neowin recounts cases involving officers allegedly using Flock to track women with whom they had personal relationships. In Georgia, an officer was accused of searching for his former girlfriend and her teenage daughter hundreds of times. In San Jose, an officer was fired after authorities said he used the system to obtain location information involving a woman and shared information with a man accused of abusing her. There have also been reports of innocent motorists being stopped after automated systems incorrectly identified vehicles...........more..........

 the upside is that the police are firmly stating who they intend to protect and serve; 

 

UK citizens, taken to the brink, face migrant-defending police.

While Prime Minister Andy Burnham is posing as a world leader in the UN General Assembly in New York, back home the small boats invasion continues unabated – and so do the citizen protests blockading the receiving ports.

A small boat heading to the UK was monitored after spending more than 33 hours at sea in ‘precarious conditions’ despite refusing help from the French coastguard.

The boat was holding around 60 migrants...........more.........

 we're not all the same. it ain't a small world. there needs be boundaries and legal consequences; 

 

A Missouri woman has pleaded guilty to first-degree “endangering the welfare of a child resulting in death” after she killed her infant daughter by putting her in the oven.

Prosecutors dropped a first-degree murder charge against the mother, Mariah K. Thomas, 28, as part of the deal.

Judge Sarah A. Castle sentenced the Kansas City woman to 13 years in the Missouri Department of Corrections with no probation.

The infant, Za’Riah Mae Thomas, was about eight weeks old when she was killed by the person she was dependent on for protection.

Kansas City police were called to a home on February 9, 2024, on a report that an infant could not breathe.

A relative who rushed home had said he smelled smoke and found the infant in her crib. He asked Thomas what happened. She told him she thought she had put the baby in the crib and had put her in the oven instead.

Officers found the baby unresponsive with burn injuries.

Firefighters pronounced her dead at the scene............more.........

 israel still effectively runs the world but things like this NAZA film might change that; 

 

After seeing it, I can understand why Israel finds it so threatening. Its subjects described factory-scale targeting, enabled by artificial intelligence, in which little effort was made to avoid enormous numbers of civilian casualties. The Israeli military made a series of choices that ensured Gaza would become a killing field.

Israel is treating the new documentary “NAZA,” by the Israeli filmmakers Yuval Abraham and Rachel Szor, less like bad publicity than a national security crisis.

“NAZA” is Hebrew military shorthand for nezek agavi, or collateral damage. One of the speakers described a computer interface showing how many people would be killed if a particular site were bombed. Typically, said one, “20 NAZA” was a benchmark — meaning it was OK to kill 20 civilians for one Hamas target. (That figure was previously reported by The New York Times.) An interviewee said that for one bombing, a NAZA figure of 500 was approved, which the I.D.F. has denied.

Part of what makes “NAZA” so devastating is the way it shows that mere indifference to civilian deaths can shade into deliberate mass killing. To Israel’s defenders, after all, the fact that the military puts limits on acceptable collateral damage shows that it’s not trying to kill as many people as possible and thus can’t be genocidal. The Israeli journalist Ariel Oseran argued, for example, that the very word NAZA is exculpatory, writing, “If Israel’s specific objective were to destroy the Palestinian population, Palestinian deaths would not be categorized as collateral damage; they would be the intended goal*.”.......more.........

 the base of why they killed jfk summed up in this quote; 

 

"For we are opposed around the world by a monolithic and ruthless conspiracy that relies on covert means for expanding its sphere of influence--on infiltration instead of invasion, on subversion instead of elections, on intimidation instead of free choice, on guerrillas by night instead of armies by day. It is a system that has conscripted vast human and material resources into the building of a tightly knit, highly efficient machine that combines military, diplomatic, intelligence, economic, scientific and political operations.

"Its preparations are concealed, not published. Its mistakes are buried not headlined. Its dissenters are silenced, not praised. No expenditure is questioned, no rumor is printed, and no secret is revealed." -- John F Kennedy, Speech April 27, 1961

 you know that they know, the empire, that all is lost or could easily be where it ain't fully yet; 

 

At the insistence of the American side, Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has met with the United States’ regional envoy Steve Witkoff on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly’s 81st meeting, a report says.

The news outlet affiliated with the Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting (IRIB), Iran’s national broadcaster, carried the report on Tuesday, citing an exclusive IRIB source.

According to the source, “Iran agreed to Witkoff’s request for the meeting in order to convey Tehran’s conditions for reopening the Strait of Hormuz.”

Iran’s “firm positions” were communicated to the US representative during the meeting, it noted.

The source identified the conditions specified by the Islamic Republic during the meeting as the immediate lifting of the illegal naval blockade that the United States has imposed on Iranian ports and vessels, the immediate release of all of Iran’s frozen assets, and “an end to the war on all resistance fronts.” ….........more.........

 a good idea way past due;

This reminds me of David Copperfield asking “more please”. This legislation is unnecessary as it is self-evident. All men are created equal means one man equals one vote. Not multiple votes, not fraudulent votes – one vote. For those who say “but 3/5 of a vote” need to do research on who mandated this. Hint: it was not the South.

Now ask yourself how long this attempt has been going on in North Carolina?

Grok:

The modern push for photo voter ID in North Carolina began in 2011, when the newly Republican-controlled General Assembly passed a bill requiring government-issued photo ID; Democratic Gov. Bev Perdue vetoed it.

Rights are never given back by “legislation”. This pertains to all rights........see......
