The authors of the "proximal origins" paper that claimed COVID was natural and could not come from a lab.....had "handlers" in the intelligence community. Nothing suspicious about that at all.

If you want to build a shed behind your house, who should get to vote on it ?

How many computers do you have to put in it before you think they should get a vote ?

If you want to build a shed than someone has to approve it as you pay for a permit. This requires Re-Zoning as the elected officals are bribed to push it through.

ICE will be spending upwards of $20M for "Shock Gloves" to help de-escalate confrontations with illegal immigrants, according to the AP.

The "G.L.O.V.E." is manufactured by Compliant Technologies LLC, based in Kentucky.

"70% of officers killed with firearms are shot within 10 feet. The G.L.O.V.E. gives officers a non-lethal option at exactly that distance, bringing resisting subjects into compliance in seconds, without lasting harm to anyone involved," their website says.

If these three dickheads are so infuriated with G.L.O.V.E., it must be a tool that has it's place for lower level deescalation.

Chatty Kathy: “That appears to me on its face to be a violation of civil rights, to cause that kind of physical harm to an individual, regardless of what the offense may be.”

The Hutt: "Potential violation of multiple foundational laws, including state administrative procedures and constitutional thresholds ... there will be a private right of action as well as action from the state of New York.”

ICE agents could soon use electric shock gloves

State Attorney General Letitia James says New York is currently “reviewing” DHS’s proposal.

Eh, so it's used to address combative suspects with a lower voltage taser after verbal warnings instead of higher voltage tasers or physically subduing. NY is bitching that it does not leave a wound and officers will stop trying verbal de-escalation ... WTF body cams are proof enough for the inevitable Attorney General lawsuits.

Maybe Hochul, James, and the Mayor like the more tragic clickbait press they can get if officers use batons, pepper spray, tasers, water cannons or physical disabling to submission when faced with illegally combative "peaceful" subjects.

It's not a supernatural weapon, a leo still needs bare skin contact, it can be used against the Leo, and the Leo is close enough they are vulnerable combative trained persons.

So asking for a friend....

With a seeming majority of the public on both sides of the political spectrum apparently agreeing on data center and flock cameras and constant spying and surveillance, what happens next?

It seems we're reaching the point where people are getting really fed up and think they no longer have a voice or representation in the political process, and the process has lost credibility.

I've seen videos of people vandalizing and destroying flock, is this the start of a modern day Boston tea party protest where citizens are hitting their breaking point and are completely disillusioned?

Where do you see a majority of the public ok with Data centers and flock? I see town halls overwhelmed with people against. As far as the rest? They are empty vessels or NPC's that dont care about shit until its too late. The "Is what it is" crowd.

I think you misunderstood me, I meant the majority of people are aligning against flock cameras and data centers. (Not OK with them) But majority of people seem to agree that they suck and they don't want them.

It's about the only thing that people on the left and right have common ground on right now.


Of course there are NPCs that are indifferent, you'll get that no matter what. But there is a lot of anger at flock and I'm loving seeing people getting pissed and maybe this will be a lightbulb moment to wake people up.

90% of people in both parties want term limits in congress too.

The fact that we never even get a bill to a vote should tell you all you need to know about how much "the people" are in charge.

Even widely supported non partisan ideas like "stop moving the god dammed clocks twice a year" doesn't happen.
