WOAH 🚨 Senator Josh Hawley says that Flock Safety Cameras admitted to him in a private message they are saving images of every American inside their vehicles and they can search those images BY PEOPLE, not license plate Hawley says this is a mass surveillance network like we’ve never seen being setup right here in America at a very shockingly fast pace He says Flock is also searchable by bumper stickers on vehicles, like Trump stickers or NRA or pro-life or anything. Flock is using AI to be able to identify people down to the bumper stickers on their cars, even dents “Flock's cameras can even recognize whether people are in the images. And in fact, Flock admitted in a letter to me ahead of this hearing that you could search their database based on people's images. You could ask to search people, images that had people, images that are scanning the the inside of the cars. I mean, this is really quite extraordinary” “What seems to make these networks unique is not just the sheer number of cameras, it's the fact that they're all linked together and powered and searchable by AI. It's unlike anything we've ever seen in this country before — They store and catalog details like the vehicle's make, model, color, location, date, time. Flock's searchable features include details like dents and roof cracks and vehicle damage and racks on the roof or racks on the back or specific bumper stickers even. You think about that. I mean, Flock can tell you if a car has a Trump sticker or a Harris sticker or a Pro-Life America sticker or an NRA sticker. It's really quite extraordinary.” Just so you can get a sense of how truly vast the mass surveillance network already is in America with Flock cameras I included the current September 2026 map of all Flock cameras installed. It is insane Why is this being allowed to happen

A landmark Finnish study has found a sharp rise in psychiatric illness among adolescents following sex-alteration procedures. The peer-reviewed study, published in Acta Paediatrica, tracked every young person under 23 who contacted Finland's gender clinics between 1996 and 2019. A total 2,083 individuals were studied, with 16,643 matched controls. They were followed for up to 25 years. Finland's health registers are mandatory, which means no one opts out — this is the complete national picture. The numbers: psychiatric morbidity rose from 9.8% to 60.7% in adolescents who underwent feminising reassignment, and from 21.6% to 54.5% in masculinising reassignment. Even after adjusting for prior psychiatric history, gender-referred adolescents faced five times the risk of male population controls, and three times the risk of female controls. "Psychiatric needs do not subside after medical gender reassignment," the authors concluded. Referrals after 2010 arrived sicker. 47.9% had already needed psychiatric treatment before their first clinic visit, against 15.3% among controls. The authors' read: for some adolescents, gender distress may be secondary to other mental health challenges. The evidence keeps mounting. The silencing continues anyway. How many more adolescents will be told this is "care"?

Universe 25 In 1968 John Calhoun put eight mice into what was basically mouse paradise. Food and water never ran out and there were no predators. Disease was controlled. Their basic survival was handled for them. The population exploded and eventually hit around 2,200 mice. Then everything started going to shit. The social structure broke down and some males became extremely violent. Others completely withdrew. Mothers started abandoning young and sometimes attacking them. Mating dropped. Young mice stopped learning normal social behavior. Then came what Calhoun called the “beautiful ones.” They ate, slept and groomed themselves. Stayed away from conflict. Looked physically perfect. They also basically stopped mating. Eventually births stopped altogether. The population went from around 2,200 mice to zero. Every single one died. By spring 1973 Universe 25 was gone. Calhoun originally thought overcrowding was the big issue. But the animals had food and water. They were not starving. The deeper problem seemed to be what happened when normal social roles stopped working. Eventually you had animals that were alive physically but had basically checked out of being mice. Sound familiar? Calhoun literally wrote, “I shall largely speak of mice, but my thoughts are on man.” Today more than half the countries on Earth are already below replacement fertility. The WHO now says about one in six people worldwide feels lonely, and younger people are among the hardest hit. People are surrounded by other people and still isolated. We have more entertainment than any humans in history. Food delivered to the door. Porn instantly. Endless fucking shit to consume. Think about it for a bit.
