I don’t know who needs to hear this, but if the corporate-state intelligence nexus can upload a U2 album to your device w/o your consent, they can also upload a word document which makes you sound like a crazed lunatic, title it “manifesto,” then frame you for a spree of crimes…

POLICE WATCHDOG ASKED POLICE TO WATCH THE POLICE. WHAT COULD GO WRONG. A woman was murdered by a serving Met officer. Women gathered on Clapham Common to grieve. The Met sent officers to arrest the grieving women. Then the government asked a watchdog to review whether that was fine. The watchdog, @HMICFRS, concluded the Met had acted "sensitively and proportionately." Problem solved. Everyone go home. Except a civil servant inside HMICFRS filed a formal complaint saying the review panel was stacked almost entirely with police officers. No independent voices. No meaningful input from the women who were arrested on the night. That last part was later confirmed by a parliamentary group as a "significant failing" that made it impossible to give the watchdog's findings "full weight." The complaint directly attacked the credibility of the verdict. It accused the review of systematic pro-police and anti-protester bias. HMICFRS never publicly acknowledged the complaint. The whistleblower was never named. They remain anonymous to this day. Then the High Court stepped in. In March 2022, judges ruled the Met had unlawfully interfered with the human rights of the vigil organisers, violating their rights to freedom of expression and assembly. None of the force's decisions, the court found, were in accordance with the law. So the watchdog cleared the police. A whistleblower said the watchdog was compromised. The High Court then proved the whistleblower right. The system reviewed itself and gave itself a pass. A nameless civil servant said that was wrong. A court agreed. That person still has no name. No recognition. Nothing. Source: The Guardian, BBC, Bindmans LLP

And it begins Sullivan & Cromwell just admitted to a federal judge its court filings contained AI hallucinations The firm apologized to the federal judge as they had to submit multiple corrections focused around: • Fictitious Case Names: The filing included names of legal cases that do not exist • Fabricated Quotes: The document contained direct quotes that were never actually spoken or written • Non-existent Statutes: The AI incorrectly analyzed or entirely invented provisions within the U.S. Bankruptcy Code The primary team and secondary review all failed to catch these errors, meanwhile the firm's partners bill $2,000+ per hour

As the Metropolitan Police rolls out facial recognition nationwide, remember that the software is from Israeli firm Corsight AI and was used as part of the Gaza genocide first.

ANNOUNCEMENT: After discussions with my legal team, we will now begin the process of opening proceedings against Labour peer Mike Katz for his defamatory comments against me. For too long, senior political figures have used their status and backing to slander independent voices. I am determined to hold this Labour government to account. If that means defending myself legally, then so be it. They will not delegitimise our work or silence our voices. Legal campaigns cost money, but it's vital that we stop the government clamp down on dissenting voices. We have now passed 80% of our target, thanks to your generous support. If you are able to do so, please consider making a contribution: chuffed.org/project/175916…

💢 BREAKING | Israeli settlers shoot dead a 14-year-old student and a 32-year-old man at a West Bank school, with Israeli forces providing protection Israeli settlers opened fire on Al-Mughair Boys School in the village of Al-Mughayyir, east of Ramallah, on Tuesday afternoon, killing a 14-year-old student, Aws Hamdi Al-Naasan, and a 32-year-old man, Jihad Marzouq Abu Naim, and wounding three others with live bullets, according to the Palestinian news agency WAFA and the Ministry of Health. A paramedic at the scene said at least three settlers deliberately fired at children attempting to escape from classrooms from a position approximately 50 meters away, with a level of accuracy he described as close to sniping. An eyewitness said shooting was directed at classroom windows and balconies still full of children as residents attempted to evacuate the school by crawling. Israeli forces arrived during the attack and, according to witnesses, provided protection to the settlers rather than stopping them. A 63-year-old man, Attallah Abu Aliya, said he was shot in the leg by an Israeli soldier without warning as he walked toward the school after hearing it was under attack. Their deaths bring the West Bank toll to four killed on Tuesday alone, after a 16-year-old boy was run over by a settler's vehicle in Hebron and a 49-year-old woman died from injuries sustained in an Israeli army shooting in Jenin.

Facial recognition isn’t the end point, it’s the infrastructure. Let me explain. Step 1: introduce the technology for a “reasonable” purpose crime prevention public safety efficiency Step 2: normalise it “law abiding citizens have nothing to fear” only used in limited cases, nothing to worry about Step 3: expand its use more locations more databases more integration with other systems Step 4: connect it ID systems Digital banking Currency Travel online access public services Step 5: enforce through it access granted or denied movement tracked behaviour monitored By that point, it’s no longer optional, that’s how digital control systems are built through layers. Once the infrastructure exists, it rarely stays limited. What it’s used for today is what it makes possible tomorrow.

FLASH, MARK STONE, AND THE £102 MILLION COVER-UP A Metropolitan Police officer spent seven years living as an environmental activist. His name was Mark Kennedy. His undercover name was Mark Stone. He was known to friends as Flash. He attended protests. He went to meetings. He helped plan direct actions. He was arrested alongside the people he was spying on. He committed crimes on behalf of foreign police forces. He had sexual relationships with multiple women who had no idea he was a paid state agent. His supervisors knew everything. Every call. Every move. Every relationship. His cover officer, he said, was the first person he spoke to in the morning and the last at night. He claimed he never sneezed without a superior knowing. In October 2010 activists unmasked him. Within months prosecutions collapsed. The whole rotten architecture started to fall apart. What Kennedy triggered was the Undercover Policing Inquiry, a £102 million public investigation into decades of political spying by the Metropolitan Police @metpoliceuk that has been running since 2015 and may not conclude until 2032. Hundreds of activist groups infiltrated since 1968. Dead children's identities stolen. Campaigns for justice for murder victims like Stephen Lawrence spied on and undermined. Women deceived into years-long relationships by officers following orders. An Investigatory Powers Tribunal ruled that what was done to the women Kennedy targeted was an abuse of the highest order. That it had grossly debased and humiliated them. The Metropolitan Police has since apologised. Multiple times. At least 12 women received compensation. The inquiry grinds on. Kennedy told one activist after being unmasked: I hate myself so much. I owe it to a lot of good people to do something right for a change. The institution that put him there has never said anything that honest. Police Spies Out of Lives @out_of_lives are still fighting. The inquiry is still hearing evidence. The officers who gave the orders are still mostly anonymous. One cop got unmasked. The scandal behind him goes back sixty years.

Why is the BBC - which is meant to be balanced - running what amounts to propaganda for the AI industry, presented as reporting? In this segment: - we are told it “can only be good for all of us” - concerns of job replacement are dismissed - concerns of students being overly reliant on AI are dismissed - someone says AI will only take away boring, repetitive jobs - using AI to generate images is celebrated without mentioning the models are powered by theft - Google, Microsoft & other tech companies are celebrated as supporting the drive to embrace AI, with no mention made of the lawsuits against them - the presenter ends with “AI is here to stay” Is the government behind this segment? If not, why does it sound like an ad for AI?

Wow. The establishment judges voted in favour of the establishment cops using technology to violate people’s rights in the name of protecting the establishment. Shocker. ‘Cause for a second there we didn’t know which way that might go.

Amazon just got caught running a secret price manipulation operation with Levi's, Home Depot, Walmart, and many more. Every time you "comparison shopped" online, you were looking at prices that were already rigged. Here's what happened: Amazon would monitor prices on Walmart, Target, Best Buy, Home Depot, and Chewy in real time. The second a competitor listed a product cheaper than Amazon, they'd contact the brand directly and tell them to "fix it." And the exact emails are now PUBLIC. Amazon sent Levi's links to two Walmart listings with the subject line "styles of concern." They basically said the prices on Walmart are too low and we have a problem. The next day, Levi's responded: "I talked to Walmart and they have partnered with us to take Easy Khaki Classic fit back up to ladder SPP price, $29.99 immediately." Levi's literally called Walmart and told them to raise the price. Because Amazon told Levi's to make the call. Walmart complied. Then Amazon matched the HIGHER price. Both retailers ended up charging more. The customer paid extra. Nobody competed. Same playbook with Hanes: Amazon sent them links showing Target and Walmart prices were lower. Hanes confirmed they "reached out to Target and Walmart to have the prices increased." Target increased the prices. Walmart increased the prices. Amazon kept their margins. But it gets even worse... Amazon told Allergan (the company that makes eye drops) that their product was "suppressed" on Amazon because it was cheaper on another site. Allergan responded: "Walmart got their price back up to $16.99." Amazon then unsuppressed the listing. They did this with pet treats on Chewy. Furniture on Home Depot. Products across dozens of categories spanning YEARS. The mechanism is simple but terrifying: If you're a brand and you sell cheaper on Walmart than on Amazon, Amazon suppresses your product, removes you from the Buy Box, buries you in search results, and effectively makes you invisible to 300 million customers. Brands can't afford that. So they call Walmart and Target and say "raise your prices or we'll lose our Amazon listings." Walmart and Target comply because they need the brand's products. Amazon captures 40 cents of every dollar spent online in America. That gives them the leverage to set prices across THE ENTIRE internet. Not just their own platform. So turns out, you were never comparison shopping. You were looking at a coordinated price floor set by Amazon through backroom phone calls between brands and their competitors. "Amazon is working to make your life more unaffordable." 3 separate antitrust trials are now scheduled for 2027. The FTC has its own case. 18 states plus the DOJ are piling on. This is literally happening during the WORST affordability crisis in a generation. Groceries up 25% since 2020. Housing unaffordable. Wages flat. And the largest ecommerce company on Earth has been secretly coordinating with brands to make sure you can't find a cheaper price ANYWHERE. "Competition" in retail is just a fantasy.

Thiel said this in 2010: “The basic idea was we could never win an election… because we were in such a small minority. But maybe you could actually unilaterally change the world without constantly having to convince people… through a technological means.” He must be stopped.
Palantir@PalantirTech

Because we get asked a lot. The Technological Republic, in brief. 1. Silicon Valley owes a moral debt to the country that made its rise possible. The engineering elite of Silicon Valley has an affirmative obligation to participate in the defense of the nation. 2. We must rebel against the tyranny of the apps. Is the iPhone our greatest creative if not crowning achievement as a civilization? The object has changed our lives, but it may also now be limiting and constraining our sense of the possible. 3. Free email is not enough. The decadence of a culture or civilization, and indeed its ruling class, will be forgiven only if that culture is capable of delivering economic growth and security for the public. 4. The limits of soft power, of soaring rhetoric alone, have been exposed. The ability of free and democratic societies to prevail requires something more than moral appeal. It requires hard power, and hard power in this century will be built on software. 5. The question is not whether A.I. weapons will be built; it is who will build them and for what purpose. Our adversaries will not pause to indulge in theatrical debates about the merits of developing technologies with critical military and national security applications. They will proceed. 6. National service should be a universal duty. We should, as a society, seriously consider moving away from an all-volunteer force and only fight the next war if everyone shares in the risk and the cost. 7. If a U.S. Marine asks for a better rifle, we should build it; and the same goes for software. We should as a country be capable of continuing a debate about the appropriateness of military action abroad while remaining unflinching in our commitment to those we have asked to step into harm’s way. 8. Public servants need not be our priests. Any business that compensated its employees in the way that the federal government compensates public servants would struggle to survive. 9. We should show far more grace towards those who have subjected themselves to public life. The eradication of any space for forgiveness—a jettisoning of any tolerance for the complexities and contradictions of the human psyche—may leave us with a cast of characters at the helm we will grow to regret. 10. The psychologization of modern politics is leading us astray. Those who look to the political arena to nourish their soul and sense of self, who rely too heavily on their internal life finding expression in people they may never meet, will be left disappointed. 11. Our society has grown too eager to hasten, and is often gleeful at, the demise of its enemies. The vanquishing of an opponent is a moment to pause, not rejoice. 12. The atomic age is ending. One age of deterrence, the atomic age, is ending, and a new era of deterrence built on A.I. is set to begin. 13. No other country in the history of the world has advanced progressive values more than this one. The United States is far from perfect. But it is easy to forget how much more opportunity exists in this country for those who are not hereditary elites than in any other nation on the planet. 14. American power has made possible an extraordinarily long peace. Too many have forgotten or perhaps take for granted that nearly a century of some version of peace has prevailed in the world without a great power military conflict. At least three generations — billions of people and their children and now grandchildren — have never known a world war. 15. The postwar neutering of Germany and Japan must be undone. The defanging of Germany was an overcorrection for which Europe is now paying a heavy price. A similar and highly theatrical commitment to Japanese pacifism will, if maintained, also threaten to shift the balance of power in Asia. 16. We should applaud those who attempt to build where the market has failed to act. The culture almost snickers at Musk’s interest in grand narrative, as if billionaires ought to simply stay in their lane of enriching themselves . . . . Any curiosity or genuine interest in the value of what he has created is essentially dismissed, or perhaps lurks from beneath a thinly veiled scorn. 17. Silicon Valley must play a role in addressing violent crime. Many politicians across the United States have essentially shrugged when it comes to violent crime, abandoning any serious efforts to address the problem or take on any risk with their constituencies or donors in coming up with solutions and experiments in what should be a desperate bid to save lives. 18. The ruthless exposure of the private lives of public figures drives far too much talent away from government service. The public arena—and the shallow and petty assaults against those who dare to do something other than enrich themselves—has become so unforgiving that the republic is left with a significant roster of ineffectual, empty vessels whose ambition one would forgive if there were any genuine belief structure lurking within. 19. The caution in public life that we unwittingly encourage is corrosive. Those who say nothing wrong often say nothing much at all. 20. The pervasive intolerance of religious belief in certain circles must be resisted. The elite’s intolerance of religious belief is perhaps one of the most telling signs that its political project constitutes a less open intellectual movement than many within it would claim. 21. Some cultures have produced vital advances; others remain dysfunctional and regressive. All cultures are now equal. Criticism and value judgments are forbidden. Yet this new dogma glosses over the fact that certain cultures and indeed subcultures . . . have produced wonders. Others have proven middling, and worse, regressive and harmful. 22. We must resist the shallow temptation of a vacant and hollow pluralism. We, in America and more broadly the West, have for the past half century resisted defining national cultures in the name of inclusivity. But inclusion into what? Excerpts from the #1 New York Times Bestseller The Technological Republic: Hard Power, Soft Belief, and the Future of the West, by Alexander C. Karp & Nicholas W. Zamiska techrepublicbook.com
