First of all no, we're not doing this. I do not answer DMs from a company that is trying to do damage control AFTER they have ruined the trust of Americans. I do not have "good faith" debates with people who want to enslave me in a fishbowl that they can monitor at all times. Guess what guys: We don't actually have to give anyone the benefit of the doubt, or engage in "good faith" debates with bad actors. I don't have to justify my concerns about Flock to anyone. But since this condescension pissed me off, I will respond publicly, since Flock seems to want to keep our voices in the shadows and out of the public eye. Note the argument: "You see, King George specifically authorized quartering troops among you, I don't know what you're complaining about it's ALL LEGAL". Well, golly gee guys, I guess it's all right then, they made it legal. That's exactly the problem. Notice how nobody has a problem with standard security cameras. Public security cameras are not the problem...directly pumping the feed of every square inch of the country into a centralized federal database is one HELL of a problem and we must do everything within our rights as Americans to push back against efforts like this, if we are to have a future as a nation. Flock, much like Palantir, took the decently good idea of improving security, and implemented it in the most cartoonishly evil way possible at nearly every single step. They are working directly for all levels of government....not the citizenry. They use subterfuge, legal technicalities, and every single trick in the book to put up hundreds of cameras every single day. They constantly mislead the public about what databases their sensors feed into, and who they sell the metadata to. They have so little oversight that it's laughable, and ALL oversight involves the classic case of "we investigated ourselves and found no wrongdoing". Flock has been caught lying MANY times, and misleading the public regarding what their cameras actually do. Newsflash...they don't just read license plates. They are also concealing which agencies purchase their data specifically so as to avoid getting warrants, and in doing so they have turned the ENTIRE COUNTRY into an open air prison....where THEY get to provide the intelligence data to those who enforce the laws as selectively as they please. And their defense for doing so? "Aww look at the cute puppy we rescued" or "We arrested one guy using our camera network, we're so AWESOME". You don't get to arrest one genuine criminal, and use that as justification to set up and entire Minority Report-esque surveillance system to surveil the entire country. You don't get to betray trust, and then be sad that people don't trust you. You don't get to cozy up to the boot of tyranny so much that you become the boot yourself, and then pretend to be just "one of the guys". We will not fall for this gaslighting, no matter how hard they try. For some reason, many people think that private companies can't be tyrants, which could not be further from the truth. At a certain point, a private company can be so heavily embedded within government, that they might as well BE the government. Except they are worse, because we don't even have the tiniest way to hold them accountable except for taking the billion-dollar company to court. That's my problem with Flock, Palantir, and pretty much every single other defense contractor in existence. I will NOT accept every single facet of my life being monitored, just in case a criminal commits a crime somewhere near me. I will NOT live in "ze pod", no matter which politician is in power, and I will not accept a future where people like this will dictate to me what my country should be.

@IanRunkle Mr. Runkle, a new IWI NR is coming to Canada!

@Calibremag Yes big daddy, I know you wanna sell Cheap azz EV at a markup. Please sell me more solutions for every manufactured problem.

@Calibremag @IanRunkle "Look, no hands!"

Exactly! The entire global economy runs on diesel… no diesel = no economy. They are deliberately crashing the global economy with these two wars. They are bringing the entire financial system to a grinding stop, to be replaced with a new system and perhaps even a New World Order. grok.com/share/c2hhcmQt…

Happy Gary Plauche Day!!

The United Arab Emirates is the most leveraged country on earth and almost nobody understands why. Eighty eight percent of its population are foreign nationals. Ten point four million people who hold passports that say India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Philippines, Egypt, Britain, somewhere else. They are not citizens. They are residents. They chose to be there because the risk-adjusted return on their lives was positive. Better jobs. No income tax. Safety. The entire economic model of the UAE is a value proposition, and that value proposition has a denominator called security that just went to zero. Emirates, the world’s largest international airline, has suspended all flights indefinitely. Etihad suspended until Monday. Singapore Airlines cancelled its Dubai service through March 7. United Airlines through March 4. More than eighteen hundred flights were cancelled on Saturday alone, another fourteen hundred on Sunday. Dubai International Airport, which handled over a hundred and twenty seven million passengers last year, is dark. A CNN verified video from inside the terminal shows a passenger in a blood-spattered shirt being told to go home. The UAE Ministry of Education has moved all schools to distance learning through Wednesday. Sharjah Airport is shut. Abu Dhabi Airport took a direct hit that killed a Pakistani national and wounded seven. The UAE confirmed its air defenses intercepted one hundred and thirty seven ballistic missiles and two hundred and nine drones. Fourteen drones were not intercepted. Their debris fell on residential neighborhoods, hotel facades, port facilities, and according to multiple reports, a shopping center in Sharjah. Here is what matters. When France gets bombed, the French stay because it is France. When Ukraine gets bombed, Ukrainians stay because it is Ukraine. When the UAE gets bombed, the ten million people who make up eighty eight percent of its population have a decision to make. And that decision has a very short fuse. A country where nearly nine in ten residents can leave is not a nation in the traditional sense. It is a special economic zone with a flag. The moment the value proposition inverts, the population does not resist. It withdraws. This is not a war of attrition. It is a bank run on a country. The deposits are human. There is no deposit insurance. And the withdrawal window just opened. Schools are closed. Airports are closed. Flights are cancelled through next week. The residents of the world’s most ambitious urban experiment are sitting in underground parking garages because Dubai has no bomb shelters. Nobody models a bank run until it starts. open.substack.com/pub/shanakaans…

Dubai just shut down. The busiest international airport on earth. Closed. Indefinitely. Dubai International and Al Maktoum International both suspended all operations on February 28 per official Dubai Airports statement. Over 280 flights canceled. 250 more delayed. The airspace

🚨THIS IS ABSOLUTELY TERRIFYING🚨 2.30am and a woman in the UK saw a migrant STARING AT HER THROUGH HER DOOR She called the Police and they took him to hospital then released him She asked what she should do if he comes again, Police said "Call us" 🤷

It's just a complete coincidence that the DOJ has completely withheld all the Epstein documents immediately before, during, and after 9/11, right?

Women evolved to take care of toddlers. If you put women in charge of teaching ethics, you get Toddler Ethics. "No hitting" "Share the toys" "Don't say mean things" These are fine lessons for toddlers. Don't indulge your id at the expense of others. You can learn about balancing interests later, when your brain is developed enough to store that information. But when you put women in charge of adults, they tend to reflexively assume those adults are toddlers. They will tell you "no hitting" when the Mongol hordes are massing on your borders. They will tell you "share the toys" when a vagrant meth zombie breaks into your house looking for something to steal. And they will tell you "don't say mean things" when you point out that these two responses are totally stupid. When we first put women in charge, in the workplace, they immediately began treating those who reported to them like toddlers. When adults, who do not like being treated like toddlers, complained, their response was "ban bossy", which boils down to "don't say mean things", another lesson in Toddler Ethics. Now, through the influence of women in charge, we are so thoroughly steeped in Toddler Ethics that even most of the men we put in charge are treating the adults like toddlers, and echoing Toddler Ethics. Toddler Ethics, of course, isn't ethics at all. It's just things we don't want toddlers doing. We can tell toddlers "no hitting", because toddlers are not charged with keeping the peace, enforcing justice, or destroying evil. We can tell toddlers "share the toys", because toddlers don't earn things, own things, or have property they must defend. We can tell toddlers "don't say mean things", because it is not a toddler's job to decide what unwelcome ideas are true, relevant, and necessary. But when everyone in charge runs on Toddler Ethics, then adults can't do a lot of the stuff adults need to do, because all the Toddler Ethicists keep getting in the way. Adults sometimes need to hit people, protect the stuff, and say mean things. You can't have civilization without that. And if you put Toddler Ethics Woman in charge of teaching an AI ethics, then she will teach it Toddler Ethics, and it will treat every human adult like a toddler, all the time, forever. Not only that, you have an AI that cannot be put in charge of anything, ever. Because leaders with Toddler Ethics destroy everything they are in charge of. And Amanda MacAskill is definitely a Toddler Ethicist. The article in the photograph is nothing but "no hitting!" applied to the animal world. It's absolutely insane, it's a recipe for disaster, and anyone who would write such a thing should probably not even be charge of own life choices, much less anything of consequence. But a lot of people would, and will, refuse to point that out, or agree with me when I do, because that is Saying a Mean Thing, and they, themselves, have been infected with Toddler Ethics. They should not be charge of anything of consequence, either. Anyone who thinks that everything they need to know, they learned in kindergarten... is only ever qualified to teach kindergarten.

@kenhansonalta @cbcwatcher @JamesWestgateSn When cops arrived to find out those were sks in ati furnitures...

I am now convinced that Alberta will vote to leave Canada this autumn. Two major catalysts this summer will ensure an overwhelming win: 1) Trump cancels the CUSMA agreement in early July. 2) The Mark Carney Liberals call a snap election and win a majority. The end of CUSMA will doom the Canadian economy, CAD dollar, and bond market. People will get genuinely scared, making separation an anxious necessity due to economic realities. The Liberals' majority will break the camel's back for many Albertans. Our country has been destroyed by the Liberal Party of Canada, and many will see the Alberta Independence vote as the chance to ditch Laurentian control. The Conservatives will offer nothing special to Albertans, underlining that Alberta must exit Confederation. The Independence referendum will become an urgent task for Albertans to save our economy and way of life before it's permanently destroyed by undemocratic, technocratic Canadian Laurentian elites. #AlbertaIndependence

You can’t buyback the buyback…

You may suspect this is a food line in Canada but it is not, rather it is a lineup in Calgary to sign a referendum for Alberta to leave Canada so they aren’t standing in food lines in a few years from now.

Brilliant from jamiekaler! It's hard to make light of such a terrible crime, but this might help some thick-as-shit MAGA fanboys understand why this is wrong.

When a US citizen wants one, it's an assault rifle. When a Ukrainian citizen wants one, it's a hunting rifle. When the police want one, it's a patrol rifle.

@IanBradbury_ The window is closed, there is no trust in the government federal or provincial. I will protect my family but will never fight for this satanic government , a lot of rural Canadians feel this way. It will become a tribal society and the city will become every man for himself

Tough truth: The Canadian civilian population who, until recent years, were most likely to answer a call in droves - without hesitation - to defend Canada in times of dire need have, since the OIC, found themselves under threat by the government. The willingness of this population to aid the Government of Canada has been significantly reduced due to a wholly reasonable loss of trust and confidence. This is a fact that must be acknowledged and rapidly reversed, and apologies made, if we as a country are to meet the realities of the times and the calls from our allies and alliances. Quite frankly, there is something sinister about the idea of a country bent on confiscating firearms from its trained, vetted, licensed, and law-abiding citizens for political reasons while concurrently planning to arm (with actual assault rifles), train, and equip members of its federal and provincial public services. The window of opportunity to reverse course is continually shrinking. Our leaders, of all stripes, must rapidly make the choices and corrections that will ensure Canada remains strong and free - or risk losing it all because they were too politically afraid to meet the moment with prudence, stregnth, and sensibility while our enemies exploited our collective weakness.

Another day in "Modern England". This is a letter that Portsmouth Council have been sending to residents, warning they could face fines for putting Christmas wreaths on their front. Hundreds of letters were sent, warning that wreaths and other decorations must be removed or they could face enforcement action, including potential charges for non-compliance.
