📸Flock Off AI Cameras!

Flock Safety has partnered with hundreds of police departments, turning dystopian surveillance into a commercial product. You’ve likely already seen these black teardrop-shaped cameras in your town—here’s what they really do.

Flock builds ALPRs that capture every vehicle passing by. They don’t just read plates—they record make, model, color, stickers, and even windshield angle. Millions of reads are logged daily. Police can pull this data without a warrant, and agencies can share feeds across jurisdictions.

Flock claims their system “helps solve 10% of U.S. crimes,” but the study behind it is built on customer surveys, no control group, and data that doesn’t reflect everyday crime. Independent investigations found little to no real impact—Piedmont, CA spent over $576k for more crime and less liberty.

Want transparency? deflock.me crowdsources these camera locations so you can see where Flock units are in your area.

💾You Will Own No RAM

Building your own computer used to be a rite of passage. That era is ending.

Manufacturers that once focused on consumer hardware—GPUs, RAM, SSDs—are pivoting toward AI data centers. Micron is exiting the Crucial consumer business by 2026. Samsung and SK Hynix are redirecting massive memory capacity to AI workloads, while Meta plans to spend $72B on AI infrastructure.

Project Stargate locked up roughly 40% of global DRAM output, and RAM prices have already doubled.

The result? Higher prices, tighter supply, and a push toward cloud computing—where you don’t own a powerful machine, you rent compute by the minute. Another “you will own nothing and be happy” moment.

Avoid over-using cloud AI and software baked with AI. Most data-center demand comes from inference—constant use. The more people go local, the less incentive there is to build massive AI infrastructure.

From Bank Scans to Metro Detentions: Russia’s Digital ID Reality

I recently talked with Jack Spirko on The Survival Podcast and I shared what I’d learned about Russia: how a simple bank facial scan turned into a nationwide surveillance tool.

It started with banks doing their own thing, but now the government’s tied it all together. If you’re in Moscow, the metro can scan your face, match it to your legal identity, and detain you if you’re dodging the draft. It’s a real-life example of where digital ID and biometric control can go.

🗼5G Is Coming Soon

The American Broadband Deployment Act of 2025 (H.R. 2289) has been introduced in Congress. If it passes, state and local governments will lose their ability to stop 5G small-cell installations in their communities.

These aren’t traditional cell towers. “Small Personal Wireless Service Facilities” are compact 5G mmWave antennas mounted under 50 feet—on light poles, traffic signals, buildings. You’ve likely already seen them without realizing it.

The bill overrides local regulations and streamlines approvals.

This dense 5G infrastructure is a key layer for cameras, sensors, robotics, drones, and AI-driven surveillance—while impacts on people, animals, and the environment are an afterthought.

Raise the alarm. Share this locally.

📱 THE PHONE IN YOUR POCKET WORKS FOR THEM — unless you decide otherwise.

I recently joined The Aaron Day Show to talk about our phones. These devices have become the gateway to surveillance, control, and subtle behavioral shaping.

In our conversation, I broke down why mainstream phones are built the way they are, what that means for personal autonomy, and why degoogling isn’t just a tech choice — it’s a statement about who gets to shape your life.

🌳A Tree’s Response to Love

A good gardener feeds and waters their plants. A great one knows love is an essential nutrient.

New research from the HeartMath Institute suggests that focused love and appreciation can measurably affect the health of trees. Using sensors placed in tree trunks, researchers tracked electrical rhythms tied to tree vitality.

In one study, a small group spent 10 minutes a day sending love to a single tree. Its electrical activity rose almost immediately and stayed elevated. In another experiment, hundreds of people from around the world did the same—non-locally—and the trees still responded.

The findings suggest something profound: focused attention and heartfelt intention may influence living systems, even across distance.

Biometric Surveillance: The Next Chapter of Digital Control

So here’s what I shared with Billy from Permaculture Pimpcast: if COVID was just the prequel, then biometric surveillance is the main event. Almost every country is heading toward digital IDs with biometric keys, and it’s basically the final layer of control. I’ve seen it firsthand in the EU’s new entry-exit systems, and it’s like something out of sci-fi. This is the infrastructure that could end up controlling everything from travel to social credit.

How Deep Does the Surveillance State Really Go?

I sat down with Redacted to break down how modern surveillance actually works — and why your phone and laptop have quietly become the most powerful tracking devices ever created.

If you’re serious about protecting your privacy and reducing your digital footprint, this is a good conversation.

Because we are the salt of this Earth, because we are its children and youth, and because our great people deserve no less than a hundred times the effort we are making, the Ele Elna Elak, (What's Ours Is Yours) youth volunteer charity campaign, is launching the "Freedom" desalination plant, which will serve the northern areas of Gaza City and its camps. This achievement, accomplished during the genocide and without resources in such a short time, is truly like digging into a rock.

‼️ CALL TO ACTION: PLEASE, CONSIDER DONATING TO SUSTAIN THIS CAMPAIGN AND TO INCREASE IT'S WORK.. AND SHARE THIS VIDEO AND TELL YOUR COMMUNITY ABOUT US 🤍🇵🇸

Our friend Aaron Day just dropped his new project: https://ownnothing.org/

Its a really good resource to pass to someone who is just waking up. It explores the different dimensions of the "own nothing" scam and educates a layperson on how it was rolled out over time.

I'll be releasing a new interview with Aaron this week where we discuss the fall of Bitcoin, AI, and his various projects! 🔥

🤖Aaron Day on the #TBOT Show: Bitcoin, Surveillance & the Myth of Financial Privacy

In our latest #TBOT Show interview, I sat down with Aaron Day—founder of the Daylight Freedom Foundation and creator of projects like Technocracy Atlas, Freedom Forge, and Oasara.

We dive into the surveillance realities baked into Bitcoin, the lesser-known history of the network, and how regulation and enforcement are reshaping what many still believe is a private, sovereign financial system. Aaron challenges long-held assumptions and explains why simply “using crypto” is no longer enough if freedom is the goal.

In the second half (for paid Substack members), the conversation widens to the rise of AI—how it intersects with finance, surveillance, and governance, and why these systems shouldn’t be viewed in isolation.

It’s a conversation that pushes beyond surface-level narratives and asks bigger questions about autonomy, power, and the future we’re collectively building.
