The topic of Flock Cameras or ALPR (Automatic License Plate Reader) cameras has become of increased interest to a variety of people and groups concerned about privacy.   The issue is increasingly controversial.

There are reports of false identification, wrongful stops, violations of civil liberties and abuse from police and government officials as they use the Flock camera resource network to trace and locate the travel of persons of interest.  To continue putting scale to the transparency effort a crowdsourcing platform has been created where you can search for the Flock cameras near you.

larry johnson on iran; 

 

Last week, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent promised something spectacular. “Watch this space,” he told a television interviewer, previewing “measures like have never been seen in the history of the economic isolation of a country.” Paired with the ongoing US naval blockade of Iran’s ports — a “one-two punch,” in his phrasing — the coming sanctions are meant to force Tehran’s capitulation after nearly six months of war. Ambassador Mike Waltz gave the effort a name: “Operation Economic Fury.”

The ambition is real. So is the problem with it. Bessent is reaching for a tool whose power depends on a world that no longer exists. The economic isolation that once brought Iran to the negotiating table was possible because the walls around Iran were sealed on every side — and, just as importantly, because the money still had to move through pipes the United States controlled. Today those walls have doors — to Russia, to China, and, since this spring, to Pakistan — and the money has found a channel that bypasses Washington’s plumbing entirely. The countries holding the doors open are precisely the ones whose cooperation once made the old sanctions bite. The most useful way to understand why “unprecedented” pressure may nonetheless fail is to compare the board Bessent is playing on to the one his predecessors played on a decade ago.........more............

 i'm still trying to decide if he's an intentional idiot or just a common fool. nukes? what crap; 

 

U.S. President Donald Trump again dismissed Americans’ concerns about high prices and said he will not apologize for starting an unconstitutional war or the high gas prices that have resulted.

Speaking to cadets at the New York Police Academy on August 14, Trump said $4-per-gallon gas is the price Americans must pay to stop Iran from building a nuclear weapon. 

The remarks reprise comments made in May, when the president said he isn’t worried about the financial situation of Americans because, again, Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon. Oddly Trump and top administration officials have said Iran’s nuclear capability was destroyed last year.

The latest comments aren’t good optics, as the argot inside the Washington beltway goes. Americans strongly disapprove of Trump’s performance by margins of almost 20 percent.

 israel vs no israel; 

 

The primary season is winding down, but the battle over Israel within the Democratic Party continues.

Next week, in Florida’s 25th district, union organizer Oliver Larkin will face off against incumbent centrist Jared Moskowitz.

Moskowitz is one of Israel’s staunchest House allies. He’s backed by AIPAC, opposes any conditioning of military aid, vehemently opposes BDS, and has led resolutions condemning the United Nations for an alleged anti-Israel bias.

Larkin, who is an active member of the DSA, openly refers to himself as anti-Zionist. He calls for an end to the genocide in Gaza and the illegal occupation of the West Bank. He calls for the Palestinian right of return to be recognized and wants an immediate suspension of military aid.

“With respect to AIPAC—or with disrespect to AIPAC—they pull the United States in this direction where we’re now spending $1 to $2 billion a day, and we’re sending billions of dollars annually to Israel, which has heavily subsidized or universal health care and college education,” Larkin recently told Hamilton Nolan. “As our cost of living is growing exponentially higher, it is a bitter pill for people to swallow to see that there’s never a question of sending hundreds of millions of dollars for another foreign war. But when the question is why we’re not expanding healthcare, why we’re cutting Medicaid, or why there’s no affordable housing, or why there’s no investments in public transportation—people are no longer separating domestic and foreign policy.”

“It’s all of a piece together,” he continued..............more.........

 Former US Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene claimed Sunday that high-level strategy meetings are underway to discuss the potential use of nuclear weapons against Iran.

“I’m not speculating, I know. And it’s pure evil,” Greene wrote on US social media platform X. She did not provide evidence to substantiate the claim.

Greene alleged that the US government was considering lowering the threshold for nuclear weapons use despite President Donald Trump’s repeated claims of victory in the war and assertions that Washington has control over the Strait of Hormuz.

She accused the administration of disregarding internal intelligence assessments that suggested Tehran was not close to developing a nuclear weapon and instead favoring Israeli claims.

Greene argued that the resulting military campaign had caused widespread civilian suffering and led to Iranian control over regional energy corridors.

The former lawmaker warned that such an escalation could trigger a global “nuclear holocaust,” leading to an economic depression and unprecedented casualties.

“America is not untouchable,” Greene said, urging the public to stop what she called the “insanity.”........more ...........
