Quote Of The Day

“In my 20s, I could sleep 4 hours on a floor, wake up, and go to work.
Now at 60, if I sleep 8 hours on a high-end mattress, but my pillow was at a slightly wrong angle, my neck will hold a grudge against me for three business days.
Also, making a classic noise when sitting down or standing up is no longer optional. It’s just a system sound now.“

Do You Notice A Change In The Air?

A Texas constable has personally unplugged or covered every county-operated Flock camera, declaring that mass warrantless tracking has no place in a free society.

Hood County Constable John D. Shirley took physical action over the weekend by disabling and covering all three county-owned Flock Safety automated license plate readers. 

The defiant move followed a unanimous decision by the Hood County Commissioners Court to terminate its contract with the tech company amidst rising citizen pushback and contract performance issues. 

In a public statement on social media, Constable Shirley shared photos of the covered devices, telling the surveillance company to ‘come get your garbage out of my county’ and asserting that the protection of everyday privacy must come before indiscriminate data collection.

Flock Safety cameras, which automatically photograph vehicle license plates and build searchable records of where drivers travel, have become a polarizing issue nationwide. While law enforcement agencies advocate for the systems as indispensable tools for locating stolen vehicles, missing persons, and suspects, civil liberties advocates argue they facilitate continuous, warrantless government surveillance. As Hood County requests a $126,000 refund from the company, the local shutdown has reignited a fierce national debate over where to draw the line between public safety and personal liberty.

I don’t think the oligarchs have yet realized they’ve awakened a sleeping giant, and that is the spirit of the United States that still lives in the hearts and minds of three-quarters of its citizens.
