Flock Cameras and the Betrayal of American Liberty: You’re an AMERICAN. Start Acting Like One

Flock Cameras and the Betrayal of American Liberty: You’re an AMERICAN. Start Acting Like One

AntiCorporatism

As America prepares to celebrate its 250th anniversary of independence — 250 years of a bold experiment in human freedom unmatched in the history of the world — we find ourselves installing a vast network of surveillance cameras that treat free citizens as suspects to be tracked and catalogued. This is not merely a policy failure. It is a national disgrace. While we wave flags and speak of liberty on this sacred milestone, a corporatist surveillance grid is expanding in the shadows, funded by our own tax dollars and enabled by Americans who should know better. The shame of this moment demands a reckoning.

Flock cameras do not merely read license plates. They test the character of a nation.

The Chain of Responsibility

From the CEOs who sign the contracts and celebrate rising valuations, to the engineers who design the systems, to the sales teams that pitch them to local governments, to the technicians who install the cameras, and even to the custodians who clean the facilities where this data is processed — every link in this chain is playing a role in constructing a surveillance apparatus that would have horrified the Founders.

AI Surveillance Is the New Flock Cameras — And the Corporate-Government Partnership Just Got Much More Dangerous

AI Surveillance Is the New Flock Cameras — And the Corporate-Government Partnership Just Got Much More Dangerous

AntiCorporatism

The era of license plate readers quietly recording your movements is already being eclipsed. A more powerful and far more intrusive system is being built on top of it — and in many cases, in partnership with it. Artificial intelligence is now being deployed at scale by governments and law enforcement agencies across the country, turning passive cameras into active surveillance tools that don’t just record what happened, but predict what might happen next.

This is not a modest technological upgrade. It is the next phase of the surveillance state, built through the same corporatist model that made Flock cameras possible: private technology companies receiving massive taxpayer-funded contracts and police-like authority to collect, analyze, and act on data about ordinary citizens.

The Corporatist Engine Behind AI Surveillance

Major tech firms — including Palantir, Amazon, Google, and a growing list of specialized AI contractors — are securing lucrative government contracts to provide “public safety” platforms powered by artificial intelligence. These systems integrate existing camera networks, license plate readers, facial recognition, social media scraping, and other data sources into centralized platforms that can identify individuals, track their movements in real time, and flag “suspicious” behavior based on algorithmic predictions.

Local police departments and federal agencies are not building this technology themselves. They are outsourcing it to private corporations that profit from every new contract, every new data integration, and every expansion of the system. Taxpayers fund the infrastructure. Corporations own the technology and the data pipelines. Law enforcement gains expanded powers with reduced accountability.

This is the same pattern seen with Flock cameras, only more sophisticated and more dangerous. What began as “reading license plates to solve crimes” has evolved into AI systems that can analyze your face, your gait, your vehicle, your associations, and even your online activity to generate threat scores or predict future behavior.

What These Systems Actually Do

AI-powered surveillance does not simply watch. It interprets. These platforms can:

  • Match faces across thousands of cameras in real time
  • Cross-reference your movements with data from social media, phone records, and commercial databases
  • Use predictive algorithms to flag people who “fit a pattern” of suspicious activity
  • Integrate with existing Flock networks and other camera systems to create a more complete picture of someone’s life

The stated purpose is almost always “fighting crime” or “protecting public safety.” In practice, these systems create the capability for mass monitoring of entire populations with far less human oversight than traditional policing. Once the infrastructure exists, the temptation to use it for broader purposes — political monitoring, protest tracking, or targeting disfavored groups — becomes difficult to resist.

History shows that surveillance capabilities created for one purpose are almost never limited to that purpose for long.

Guardrails Are Already Failing

Proponents claim these systems come with strict oversight and narrow use cases. The reality is that once powerful surveillance tools are in the hands of government agencies — especially when built and maintained by profit-driven corporations — mission creep is nearly inevitable.

Data that was supposedly collected for “serious crimes” has already been used for far more routine enforcement. Facial recognition systems have produced high error rates, leading to wrongful stops and arrests. And because much of the technology is proprietary, independent oversight and auditing are extremely difficult.

The corporations selling these systems have every incentive to encourage broader adoption and deeper integration. More data means more capability. More capability means more contracts. More contracts mean higher profits. The public interest in limited government and protected liberties is not part of that business model.

This Is the Logical Next Step After Flock

Flock cameras created a nationwide network of automated license plate readers feeding data into centralized systems. AI surveillance is the software layer being built on top of that network — and on top of countless other data sources. It transforms a system that once recorded where you went into one that tries to determine why you went there and what you might do next.

The same political class that enabled Flock cameras is now greenlighting far more powerful AI tools. The same corporations that profited from the first wave of surveillance infrastructure are positioning themselves to profit even more from the second wave.

This is not innovation in service of public safety. This is the steady construction of a more sophisticated control grid, funded by taxpayers and operated through public-private partnerships that shield both government and corporate actors from meaningful accountability.

The Choice Ahead

America is at a decision point with AI surveillance that is similar to the one it faced with license plate readers — only the stakes are significantly higher. Once these systems are fully integrated into daily policing and governance, reversing course becomes extremely difficult.

Some communities have already begun pushing back against earlier generations of surveillance technology. The same resistance will be needed here. Citizens can demand transparency on contracts, require warrants based on individualized suspicion rather than algorithmic predictions, and reject the normalization of constant AI monitoring in public spaces.  But is any of this going to protect future generations?  Unlikely.

It is imperative that real American do EVERYTHING they can to stop this massive encroachment into out lives.

The question is whether that resistance will come in time — or whether the corporate-government surveillance partnership will continue expanding until it becomes simply another accepted feature of modern life.

The technology is already being deployed. The contracts are already being signed. The only remaining variable is how much longer the public will tolerate the construction of a surveillance apparatus more powerful than anything that has come before it.

They’re Already Cutting the Poles Down: The Growing Rebellion Against Flock Cameras

They’re Already Cutting the Poles Down: The Growing Rebellion Against Flock Cameras

AntiCorporatism

Flock “Safety” cameras were sold to communities as a simple, modern tool to fight crime. What actually arrived was a nationwide surveillance grid — paid for with your tax dollars, operated for private profit, and designed to track the movements of ordinary Americans in real time. Once the cameras went up, the data started flowing. Once the data started flowing, the temptation to use it for more than “local crime fighting” became irresistible.

That is the nature of these systems. They do not stay limited. They expand.

But something else is happening now — something the people who built this grid never expected.

Across the country, communities are already pushing back — hard. Local governments are canceling contracts. Residents are showing up at meetings and refusing to accept the surveillance state being built on their streets. In multiple places, the poles and cameras are being removed entirely. The infrastructure of control is being dismantled.

This is not theoretical. This is happening right now.

Why Resistance Is Necessary

These systems were never going to remain narrowly focused on “solving crimes.” The technology is too powerful, the data too valuable, and the incentives too corrupted. Every promise of “strict oversight” and “privacy protections” has already proven hollow. Data that was supposed to stay local has been accessed by federal agencies. “Hot lists” have been used for purposes far beyond what was sold to the public. Errors have led to innocent people being stopped and harassed.

This is what always happens when government partners with corporations to build permanent surveillance infrastructure. The technology creates capability. Capability creates temptation. Temptation, left unchecked, becomes abuse. The only thing that has ever slowed these systems down is organized, sustained public resistance.

When people treat these cameras as inevitable, they win. When people treat them as something that can — and must — be removed, the equation changes.

Flock Cameras: Corporatist Surveillance State in Action — Government Power Enriching the Corporate Interests Who Own Our Politicians, Big Brother in Action

Flock Cameras: Corporatist Surveillance State in Action — Government Power Enriching the Corporate Interests Who Own Our Politicians, Big Brother in Action

AntiCorporatism

Flock “Safety” (Big Brother’s cameras) exemplifies modern American corporatism at its most insidious. A private company, flush with venture capital from politically connected tech investors, has constructed a nationwide network of automated license plate recognition (ALPR) cameras and data-sharing infrastructure that depends entirely on the coercive power of government—taxpayer-funded contracts that YOU FUND, police authority, and the massive expansion of surveillance capabilities.

Localities and law enforcement agencies sign recurring subscription agreements that funnel public money straight into private coffers, building a centralized, searchable database of Americans’ movements. This system is marketed as a crime-fighting tool but functions as a dragnet that records the comings and goings of ordinary citizens, enables mission creep into political and federal enforcement priorities, and crushes core protections against unreasonable searches and seizures. Politicians who facilitate these arrangements—through contracts, lax oversight, or outright promotion—serve as enablers for a surveillance industrial complex that profits handsomely while slowly but consistently eroding the privacy, rights, and liberties that distinguish a free republic from an authoritarian one.

This is not free-market capitalism. This is George Orwell’s Nineteen Eighty-Four brought to life on American roads. It is cronyism and a naked power grab dressed in the language of public safety, where government picks winners, subsidizes their infrastructure with your money, and grants them access to coercive state power in exchange for recurring revenue streams and political leverage. True limited-government conservatives and libertarians recognize this pattern: expansive government tools rarely remain narrowly targeted and frequently expand to serve the interests of the connected rather than the citizenry.

The Electric Car Mirage Amid the Iran War Gas Spike: Short-Term Savings Mask the Corporatist Trap for American Drivers

The Electric Car Mirage Amid the Iran War Gas Spike: Short-Term Savings Mask the Corporatist Trap for American Drivers

AntiCorporatism

In the spring of 2026, the American driver faces yet another energy price shock. The ongoing U.S.-involved conflict with Iran, which began in late February, has disrupted critical oil flows through the Strait of Hormuz. This has driven national average gasoline prices up more than 50 percent—from around $2.94 per gallon pre-war to $4.50–$4.62 per gallon as of mid-May. The corporatist establishment—Big Government allied with Big Oil, Big Auto, Big Utility, and their allies in Washington—continues to insist that electric vehicles (EVs) represent the path to “resiliency” against such fluctuations. But does the data from this current crisis support that claim?

Let us examine the question directly: During this recent gasoline price spike caused by the war, has the cost to run an electric vehicle remained the same relative to gas-powered cars, or have EVs actually saved money?

The numbers reveal that EVs have delivered clear short-term savings on a per-mile basis. A typical gas-powered light-duty vehicle achieves 25–30 miles per gallon. At today’s prices near $4.50 per gallon, that translates to roughly 15–18 cents per mile. Meanwhile, the average EV consumes about 0.30 kWh per mile (equivalent to roughly 3.3 miles per kWh). With residential electricity rates holding near 18 cents per kWh, the per-mile energy cost for an EV remains approximately 5–6 cents—creating a widening advantage as gasoline surged. In absolute terms, EVs are shielding many drivers from the worst of this war-induced spike.

On the surface, this appears to validate the establishment narrative of EV resiliency. Yet a closer, more honest analysis shows this advantage is temporary, distorted, and ultimately part of a larger corporatist design that offers no genuine long-term economic protection or freedom for the American driver.

Electricity prices have not spiked alongside gasoline because the U.S. power grid derives only a tiny fraction of its generation from petroleum. However, residential electricity rates have climbed steadily—up about 7.4 percent year-over-year as of early 2026 and projected to continue rising through at least the end of the year. These increases stem directly from federal mandates, subsidies, and “green energy” policies that force utilities to invest billions in grid upgrades, intermittent renewables, and infrastructure to support widespread EV adoption. The very policies pushed by the two-party establishment are baking higher long-term electricity costs into every American’s budget.

Moreover, the apparent short-term savings mask deeper structural problems. EV “fuel” now ties drivers to a centralized, regulated grid controlled by utility monopolies and their corporate partners—entities that receive billions in taxpayer subsidies and rate-base guarantees. One major blackout, cyber incident, or policy-driven rate hike, and the mobility you thought you owned becomes dependent on the same crony system that engineered the crisis. Gas vehicles, by contrast, allow refueling from a decentralized network with far greater domestic production flexibility.

The full picture of ownership costs further undermines any claim of economic superiority. EVs carry higher upfront prices, elevated insurance premiums, and expensive battery replacements that often erase per-mile fuel advantages over time. These realities are frequently obscured by massive federal tax credits and mandates that function as corporate welfare for manufacturers like Tesla, GM, and Ford—handouts that distort market signals and force taxpayers to subsidize the transition.

This is classic corporatism in action: Government power merged with corporate interest to limit consumer choice, erode personal independence, and redirect economic flows into favored hands. The establishment does not offer true resiliency through competition or innovation; it offers controlled dependency dressed up as progress. During this Iran war–driven gasoline spike, EVs may save on fuel in the moment, but they do not deliver lasting protection against energy price fluctuations. Instead, they accelerate America’s shift toward a politicized energy system where everyday drivers bear the costs while elites capture the benefits.

Americans deserve real energy independence and genuine market-driven options—not mandates that trade one form of volatility for another, more permanent form of control. Reject the corporatist EV push. Demand policies that prioritize affordable, decentralized mobility and true competition.

Your wallet, your freedom, and the future of American driving depend on it.

Why, all of the sudden, is there Asian hate in America? Here is the answer:

Why, all of the sudden, is there Asian hate in America? Here is the answer:

AntiCorporatism

There are two main elements to the current assault against Asians in America.  The events seen recently, noticeably all the sudden, are not a coincidence and not a matter of hate towards Asian Americans necessarily.  It is an effort to maintain the current political environment that perpetuates the institutionalized racism enacted and enforced by Affirmative Action, and preparation for the Establishment’s race war in America.

Reason 1:  Racism is in high demand by leftists in America, and they have a real supply problem

The Establishment in America, both Republican and Democrat, clearly want a race war in America.  Asians are a needed demographic in the leftists’ race war, because two factions are being formed and those waiting to ignite the spark need as many identities as possible to unite against “white” America.

Those seeking a race war know that those they consider “white” must be outnumbered by as much as possible, be that Asians, African Americans, transgender people, feminists, gays, Latinos, and whomever, because “white” America is heavily armed and clearly in the majority.  For the Establishment to create a new slave class in America, they must first convince enough factions it is in their self-interest to exploit the new devil, “white” America, no different from what Nazis did to the Jews.

Declaring War by a million paper cuts: The Democrats and our overseas enemies plan to destroy America

AntiCorporatism

World War III is brewing and let this statement be a warning to all American patriots.

The comparatively subtle efforts by prior Establishment politicians to provoke true Americans into demanding their obvious and natural rights failed over the years.  Their assumptions of our determination and passion for preserving the American Dream were proven an overstatement by each of their half measures.  From Obama’s continual race-bating to offending the basic sensibilities of families by legislatively allowing men to join women of all ages in the bathroom, true Americans took it on the chin and simply hoped a shift back to common sense would soon return.

Although this saved America from any kind of internal conflict at the time, it emboldened the Establishment to push more, and more, and more. Read more →
