Dangerous Intellectuals Podcast

We are off and running! Episode 1 is up!

Let’s splash some gallows humor on some very serious stuff. @_tommyspodcast @EMBurlingame @ThePathFoward25 @ColonelTowner @the_irascible youtu.be/FZyYSbNuXHY?is…

The feds don't need a warrant when you give away your location data for free. Flock’s camera network hands police a 30-day retroactive map of your entire life. Every aspect of your daily life from your trips to the gun range to attendance at political rallies are fully indexed and searchable. This isn't just mass surveillance. It is a systematic bypass of your Fourth Amendment protection against unreasonable searches, forcing your own daily routine to bear witness against you in violation of the Fifth.

Episode 44--REMASTERED! Better, more clear sound from Monday's Technical issue! Please Share! @the_irascible @MarkAttwood open.substack.com/pub/foreigndom…

Who will win in the war between sovereigntists and the globalists, & how better to understand what is happening, ably explained by @clif_high - Clif gives a shout out to @TFL1728 and the team at @PrometheanActn too youtu.be/naS-JE45uEo

Garrett Langley runs Flock Safety, a $8.4 billion company whose AI-enabled cameras, more than 100,000 of them, now line the roads of over 6,000 American communities. Will Freeman is a software engineer whose open-source project, DeFlock, maps the locations of publicly visible surveillance cameras so individuals can see where they are being watched. For this, Langley has called DeFlock a “terroristic organization” whose “primary motivation is chaos.” Sit with that inversion for a moment. A billion-dollar enterprise photographs most cars in America (regardless of whether their drivers are suspected of a crime), logs each vehicle’s movements into a searchable national database, and grants access to thousands of police agencies, no warrant required. A private citizen responds by noting, on a map, where the cameras sit in plain view atop public poles. And in the CEO’s telling, the man with the map is the menace. Consider how strange this standard is. Tens of millions of Americans open Waze every day, an app that lets drivers flag police cars and DWI checkpoints in real time. When the NYPD demanded Google shut the feature down, the company refused, noting that informed drivers make safer decisions, and nobody seriously calls Waze a terrorist network. Freeman's map does less than Waze. The ACLU (rightly) called Langley’s assertion “simplistic, juvenile, and ultimately authoritarian.” But even that seems charitable. When merely watching the watchers gets branded as terrorism, something foundational has flipped in the relationship between citizen and state. Fairness demands we grant Flock its strongest case, so what is that? (Continue reading, link in the thread…)

Episode 44! Apocol-Optimists: Mark Attwood on the Spiritual War for Sovereignty and Why Freedom Will Win We are living through a Spiritual War — a silent, multi-front battle for the soul of humanity, where narratives, institutions, and technology are being weaponized to erase national sovereignty and individual freedom. While many see only darkness and inevitable defeat, Mark Attwood — host of The Mark Attwood Show and author of God Wins: Spiritual War Poetry — sees something far more profound. He calls himself an “Apocol-Optimist”: someone who clearly recognizes the apocalyptic nature of this war, yet remains fiercely optimistic because he believes truth and freedom are destined to prevail. Mark breaks down the real nature of the Sovereigntist vs. Globalist conflict, exposes how the old systems are collapsing, and explains why those fighting for freedom have every reason to stay in the fight with courage and conviction. If you’ve been feeling the weight of the times but refuse to surrender to despair, this conversation will reignite your fire. Mark Attwood cuts through the noise like a blade. @the_irascible themarkattwoodshow.com Duration: 1:10:54

“This is a very dangerous enemy—who is in its final throes.” Brigadier General Blaine Holt, USAF (Ret.), joins @OldGravyPodcast to break down the latest targeted strikes against Iran—and what could happen next. 🎙️

Market Analyst Tom Luongo says Trump isn't fighting Iran to control the Strait of Hormuz; he's using the Strait to break Europe's ability to finance the Ukraine war. Most people see Iran and Ukraine as two separate conflicts, but Tom thinks they're the same war being fought on different fronts. His argument is that oil is the collateral that underpins the modern economy. The more expensive and uncertain energy becomes, the harder it is for European governments to borrow cheaply, keep their industries competitive, and continue funding Ukraine at the current pace. That's why he thinks the Strait of Hormuz matters so much, because whoever controls the world's most important energy chokepoint also influences the financial foundations that wars are fought on. Trump can't simply announce the end of the Ukraine war, even if he wants to, because too many powerful interests are invested in keeping the conflict going. So instead of attacking the war directly, Tom believes Trump is attacking the economic conditions that make the war possible. He also made one of the interview's boldest claims: Europe has poured so much money into Ukraine because many European leaders expected the war to eventually open the door to Russia's vast natural resources, providing the cash flows needed to justify years of borrowing and military spending. If that never happens, they're left with enormous debts and very few ways to pay them back. Most people think the shortest route to ending the war in Ukraine runs through Kyiv, but Tom thinks it runs through the Strait of Hormuz. And if he's right, we've been looking at the wrong map all along. @TFL1728

Great discussion on tap for Monday! Please join and share! Fun stuff! @the_irascible @MarkAttwood

Gubernatorial candidate Anthony Hudson is calling for a ban on Flock cameras. @Hudson4Governor "If government wants more cameras, fine. I'll tell you where to put them. In every government building, every office, every hallway, every conference room, every place where public officials conduct the people's business."

🚨 BOMBSHELL! Top journalist Ana Kasparian confirms Texas police use unregulated AI Flock cameras to track women crossing state lines for abortion pills. She reveals the company blatantly lied to city councils. The establishment is building a massive tracking database!

Police officer becomes a whistleblower and says that Flock Safety Cameras are not what were being told they are He says they are not just capturing license plates, they are capturing everything and being used for mass surveillance without a warrant, “It records the make, the model, color, bumping stickers, you name it — it's a very sophisticated AI software that uses a camera system to track and monitor every vehicle that goes by the camera lens” “This information is shared city to city and even state to state without a warrant” “Your consent was never required nor even asked for or even thought about when your city governments was putting up this new technology. For example, the chief of the Pateka Police Department, she was confronted by a local reporter on this very question of what gave them the right to put up these cameras without consulting the public. Her response was, so the criminals wouldn't know about it and avoid detection. So there you go. That's their best argument about” He says he brought up concerns about privacy and transparency and in return he was suspended without pay He says we are headed the same way as the soviets and China He says this is what you’re told by authority, “If you are worrying about it, it's because you have something to hide. The philosophy that this innovation is already grounded on is already proven to be rotten. It's grounded on this idea that you, the citizen, are first and foremost a potential suspect or potential defendant that needs to be tracked and monitored for your safety and for the safety of others. It's the same philosophy that the Soviets and many authoritarian states during the 20th century adopted, and we all know how that worked out for them. It's the same philosophy that the Chinese are currently adopting right now and they have a similar surveillance system” Keep in mind I’ve also shared videos of the Flock camera called “Condor” This goes beyond vehicles and actually tracks you as you walk by. The cameras follow you, can zoom in and automatically detect you in areas This goes way beyond license plate reading. This is the mass surveillance network being established in America We are right around the corner from a police state

Important post me does think. @the_irascible

I am greatly looking forward to this discussion! All eyes on @CryptoRichYT and Cliff! @the_irascible
