1.5 hours explaining what's happening right now.
When Bill Cooper gave these presentations the global threat was nuclear weapons.
With the AI psyop over the last week, it should be clear that they're predictively programming the public for a cyber-attack

People need to go to jail for this @TheJusticeDept. This is one way that DEI literally kills White men.
In 2006, a retired AT&T tech walked in with the blueprints showing that Room 641A had been splitting every fiber in San Francisco and handing a live copy to the NSA since 2003.
A judge refused to bury the case under state secrets, so Congress stepped in, gave the phone companies retroactive immunity, and the lawsuits died.
Klein spent the next 20 years watching that program beat every challenge, then died of cancer in 2025.
A year later the FISA court recertified the authority through 2027.
The closet may be gone but the collection never stopped.
Here’s another example why the government will NOT abuse Flock cameras.
Starting in 1945, Western Union, RCA and ITT handed over every international telegram Americans sent with no warrant and no law for 30 years because the attorney general just promised them immunity.
Army intel asked for the traffic as a wartime favor but as is common with “temporary” programs and measures, it didn’t stop.
When Church exposed it, NSA was reading 150,000 messages a month.
Congress wrote FISA to require warrants, then added 702 so they could collect Americans’ communications without one, but the House let 702 lapse in June 2026.
First time since 2008, but it doesn’t mean they will bring it back like they back then.
So rest assured, it will totally NOT happen.

This is why Anthropic and OpenAI are panicking and saying "AI is going to kill everyone."
They had the market captured before. Now they don't.
Normal people & enterprise companies don't need cracked-out, borderline-AGI models like Astra and Fable for their daily work. It's too expensive.
The market shifted towards using open weights models that offer 95% of the same capability at 1-2% of the price.
These guys totally underestimated their competition, IPOs are now cooked, and they're absolutely panicking. So they're trying to create a regulatory cartel and have all of their competition banned. That's all it comes down to.
Looks like today may be a record day for token volume % of open models on Vercel AI Gateway:
🟦 Open 78.4% 🟨 Closed 21.6%
While spend 💲 usually tells a different story, #3 and #4 today are Moonshot AI & DeepSeek. Adding Z.ai, their combined spend surpasses OpenAI (#2).
(Do note that's the spend for inference of the model across providers (mostly in the US), not revenue going directly to the open weight labs.)

Flock Cameras Can Read Our Lips Under Favorable Conditions
-----
The Modern Rogue tested whether Flock-style street cameras and current AI tools can reconstruct speech from silent video.
Hosts Brian Brushwood and Justin Young recorded conversations at several distances indoors and outdoors, removed the audio, and ran the footage through publicly available lip-reading software.
Specialized lip-reading tools recovered some phrases when the face was large, well lit, and facing the camera.
--- Key findings ---
Newer pan-tilt-zoom cameras can use strong optical zoom to capture a usable face, a prerequisite for lip reading.
Dedicated lip-reading projects, including Open-Alterego, performed better on close and mid-range indoor footage.
Extra processing helped: cropping to a single speaker, running multiple analysis passes, and using a language model to fill gaps from partial matches.
Context was a major factor. Isolated mouth movements were hard to read; a few confirmed words let the system infer more of the conversation.
The hosts said better cameras, more training data on a specific speaker, and more computing power would likely improve performance.
Their conclusion: current public tools cannot reliably read every conversation from a street camera, but they can extract usable speech from good silent footage under favorable conditions.

Trump's AI data centers are IDF military installations. Remember all of the military drones his BBB funded?
The United States 🇺🇸 is arming the data center owners with military-grade weapons systems. BLACKROCK is trying to embed its data centers into military installations.
legislation is being introduced that would give private corporations military-grade weapons systems to protect their data centers, which are being built by companies like BlackRock, Microsoft, Google, Amazon, Meta.👀🚨
the government is privatizing military enforcement authority over national airspace and transferring it to corporate actors who own data centers. The "critical infrastructure" designation is the mechanism - once DHS designates a data center as critical infrastructure, the owner gets military weapons.👀🚨
Billionaires are PRIVATIZING the UNITED STATES 🇺🇸 military that taxpayers pay for , so they can FORCIBLY cause pollution, raise energy prices, deplete natural resources, pull tax dollars from local needs, and the largest centers are owned by a handful of companies and the Government is giving them military-grade weapons systems to protect those data centers 👀🚨

Spain just blocked Archive Today.
Try to visit the web archive and many Spanish ISPs now redirect you to a government page warning:
“YOU ARE TRYING TO ACCESS AN ILLEGAL WEBSITE.”
It even tells users they’re “contributing to an illegal and criminal activity” simply by trying to access it.
A tool used by journalists and researchers to preserve the web is now treated like contraband.
The block reportedly followed a complaint from an unnamed rights holder and was imposed by Spain’s Intellectual Property Commission, not through a court ruling.
That's an entire web-archiving service blocked over copyright and the complainant isn’t even public.

Clinton’s EO 13139 remains on the books today, allowing the experimental drugging of our troops without consent. Every president since - Bush, Obama, Trump, Biden - has kept it active. They aren't protecting the military; they’re using them as lab rats.
Why is this still law?

Many people say they want this to happen.
Well, is it time to actually get serious about this?
Is this actually feasible? Reasonable?
What would getting started look like?
How about we start with one city and grow from there?
First a city, then cities, then states, then the Federal Level.

California, for example, specifically requires notification when "[i]nformation or data collected through the use or operation of an automated license plate recognition system" is "acquired by an unauthorized person." Cal. Civ. Code § 1798.82(a)(1), (h)(1)(G).

Skyrocketing diesel prices and coming diesel outages aren't the worst problems truckers will face. The far bigger long-term issue is the rollout of autonomous self-driving trucks. These will sooner or later replace about 80% of human drivers. And the Tesla trucks don't even burn diesel. They're electric. So they will have a huge cost advantage over diesel engine trucks (with far less maintenance as well). This will cause widespread bankruptcies across the smaller trucking companies, which will concentrate transportation into the hands of a small number of powerful (centralized) freight companies.

Pfizer defends itself in court by saying, "We never said it was safe and effective."
Moderna defends itself in court by saying, "We never said it was safe and effective."
The only people that said it was safe and effective was the government and the media.

If you think things are bad now, just wait until you see what's coming next.
2030 is the goal.
