They tell you Flock cameras are there to fight crime — theleahfiles

So I pulled the actual police logs from my new favorite website (haveibeenflocked . com). 233 million searches that they have been able to get via FOIA requests and here’s what “fighting crime” actually looks like:

84% had no case number at all
The most common reason a cop typed in the box? Blank, nothing
Only about 9% were even tagged as a real crime.
“Test” and “training” show up as reasons, run on real people’s cars
The FBI and Homeland Security were wired into local camera networks your town never signed off on.

So what is Flock?

FLOCK: 100,000+ plate cameras bolted to poles across America. They read your plate everywhere you drive and never forget.

NOVA: Flock’s AI that turns your plate into you. Your name, address, family, everyone you know, in seconds, no warrant.

SIGNALTRACE: a competitor’s tool that tracks the Bluetooth off your phone, your AirPods, your watch. Doesn’t even need your plate.

Then I followed the money and the lead investor behind Flock also funds an Israeli company that can hack cameras and change the footage. Another lead investor backs a 911 app that flips on your phone’s camera and mic. Trace it all the way back and you hit a former Israeli prime minister and Jeffrey Epstein’s money.

The Israeli Spy Behind PragerU’s Plan to Rewrite American Education to Indoctrinate Children

PragerU is trying to take over American schools. The right-wing, pseudo-educational group is now an official educational partner in at least ten states, and blitzes children with highly questionable messaging on race, history, and politics. Even more concerning, PragerU is led by former Israeli spy, Marissa Streit, who has stated she uses the tactics and techniques honed by IDF military intelligence on the American people.

Streit’s company is involved in a big-money operation targeting children with neoconservative, pro-war, pro-business, pro-Israel messaging, attempting to indoctrinate them at their youngest and most impressionable age.

Leave Our Kids Alone

You have probably seen a PragerU video. An estimated one-in-three Americans have. The billionaire-funded media machine is a powerful force on the American right, providing highly-produced conservative content attempting to push U.S. politics and society rightwards.

Recently, however, PragerU has set its sights on children, and is seeking to hijack the American education system. Since 2023, it has signed deals with ten states – Alaska, Arizona, Florida, Idaho, Louisiana, Montana, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Texas, and Utah – to become an official education provider, supplying books, videos, and other content to schools across the United States. Students in New Hampshire, meanwhile, can earn credits by completing online PragerU courses. And with PragerU Español, it has plans to expand into Latin America as well.

Ben Shapiro is their enforcer. Question Israel, and he comes for you

Tucker Carlson questioned it. Shapiro called him a “super spreader.”

Candace Owens questioned it. He went to war on her.

This week JD Vance touched the Epstein intelligence story on Rogan. Shapiro was attacking him inside 48 hours.

Then there’s Charlie Kirk. What started my entire follow the money on Shapiro and it’s dark.

In his final weeks, Kirk started questioning Israel. A pro-Israel billionaire named Robert Shillman reportedly pulled $2 million out of Turning Point to punish him. He routed it through a fund that erases his name, so the check can never be traced.

That same Shillman built Ben Shapiro’s career. In his own words: “With a pen and a checkbook, I provide ammunition.”

And it isn’t just Shillman. The Wilks brothers, the fracking billionaires who funded Shapiro’s Daily Wire, also funded Rob McCoy, Kirk’s own pastor, whose son worked inside Kirk’s operation.

So, Charlie Kirk wavered from the pro-Israel cause, and weeks later he was assassinated.

Ben Shapiro was then handed the opening slot at Kirk’s own convention and used it to call Israel skeptics “frauds and grifters.”

Now the part he hides. Shapiro doesn’t just take their money. He’s invested in Israel himself. He is the largest shareholder of an Israeli company that makes Covid Vaccines in the pill form, and he is the founder of a fund pouring money into Israeli tech. But, he doesn’t tell his audience this.

Full follow the money article is up on my Substack now (link in bio).

This is an OK take but remember Shapiro is just one person. He’s the public face of a huge gang or tribe of anti-American, anti-Western-civilization operators. Shapiro is worth knowing about and focusing on but he is also, to a large extent, a limited hangout. He draws attention away from a multitude of anonymous players who fund the gangs and their covert violence. The covert violence is the factor very few seem to understand or be willing to reckon with. Even Candace Owens on her last episode only lightly suggests there might be a Hollywood gang which controls the film and music industries. Stew Peters figured the other day that ‘thousands’, maybe even ‘100s of thousands’ of Westerners have been Charlie Kirked. Guys, no, the takeover has been massive — millions, tens of millions of Westerners have been covertly disabled before their careers ever took off. This has been happening for many decades and this is why the West is so weak and hopeless today. No Westerner ever gets anywhere unless they support the takeover (see USA Congress for irrefutable proof of this). Occasionally, someone rises despite the danger. Candace is probably one of them. Stew maybe also. Just look at the most recent influencers who claim they saw Robinson pull the trigger. They are all bs-artists, turncoats profiting on our downfall. Do the math: 10 million disablements of potential non-compliant Westerners over 80 years (since WW2 ended) is ‘merely’ 120,000 per year, plus or minus. If you disable or kill that many talented boys and young men, you will destroy a massive and powerful civilization in, lemme see, 80 years. That is a multi-generational covert military strategy, which costs next to nothing compared the the reward. ABN

Parasitoid (Parasitology 🧬)

A parasitoid is an organism that lives in close association with its host at the host's expense, eventually resulting in the death of the host. Parasitoidism is one of six major evolutionary strategies within parasitism, distinguished by the fatal prognosis for the host, which makes the strategy close to predation.

The Secret History of Polymarket — Whitney Webb

We’ve been quiet recently because Mark Goodwin and I have been working to write the most comprehensive investigation into Polymarket’s origins and ambitions to date.

We found that Polymarket’s “official” origin story, that Shayne Coplan founded the company alone in 2020 and then built “the company in his bathroom”, is a lie. Polymarket really started years earlier as another company called TokenBnk that was deeply tied to Israeli interests, specifically a crypto company founded by Benjamin Netanyahu’s niece and nephew. Coplan has actively tried to obfuscate this company from his story and it’s not the only thing either.

In Part 1 of this two-part series, we unravel the real history of Polymarket, directly connecting the company to Peter Thiel’s efforts to resurrect controversial DARPA programs from its now defunct Information Awareness Office. Polymarket appears to have been chosen by Thiel and his associates to succeed in resurrecting DARPA’s Policy Analysis Market where another Thiel-linked company, Augur, had previously failed.

Stay tuned for Part 2, where we explore the current influence of prediction markets and Polymarket, including how an insidious effort to have prediction markets replace representative democracy as a governance model is already being slowly implemented by the White House.

#MiteMonday: As I watched this aphid laden with parasitic larval mites, one small light-coloured one climbed off the aphid and ran away over the leaf. The aphid, disturbed by me handling the leaf, began walking away and shed a few more mites. So the mites seem ready to detach as needed at any stage, which is interesting I think.

Also does this count as a parasite on a parasite? :thonking:

Public schools are imploding by 1.5 million kids as parents seek alternatives that don’t turn their kids into gay Democrats who can’t read — Peter St Onge

Yet school budgets are exploding since public schools know who they serve: Teacher unions

I was surprised when today’s sermon was announced as part of a series on ‘Israel’ that included textually debunking the idea there is a biblical basis for sending tax dollars or military support to the modern political nation of Israel

I go to a protestant denominational church that consistently avoids making political statements and does not explicitly endorse political positions.

So, I was surprised when today’s sermon was announced as part one of a three part series on “Israel” that included textually debunking the idea there is a biblical basis for sending tax dollars or military support to the modern political nation of Israel. The pastor took the main verses people cite and explained why it’s a mistaken interpretation. He established that the “Israel” established as a nation in 1948 is not the “Israel” of the Old Testament. He defined dispensationalism and explained why it both inaccurate and a modern theological fad, one which we do not subscribe to. On the present and future of this Israel, he said “The political nation of Israel may come and go, it has before…”

I found this to be surprising and noteworthy. I would call my church a medium size, uncontroversial, family heavy, buttoned up, affluent church. Just a report from the normie Christianity front

The debunking of ‘dispensationalism’ is going to cause one of the largest swings in Christian religious belief and political opinion ever.
