John Titus and Catherine Austin Fitts take on the theme “Don’t Spy on Me” — a week of surveillance stories that read like satire: Flock cameras swarming an innocent man with armed police, garbage trucks that spy on you (your car already does), AI facial recognition at the grocery outlet, and an AI web where “we’re just rats in the walls.”

They cover the strain on the US strategic petroleum reserve, Pennsylvania’s teachers’ pension citing private equity drag amid a $41B shortfall, and the widening wars: renewed strikes on Iran, a new Saudi–Yemen front, the drone strike in Kiev, and Lavrov’s declaration that Russia no longer trusts the West’s readiness to negotiate.

They confront Washington’s claimed “sovereign right” in the deaths of children abroad and Israel’s continued shooting of children. In Hey Robot: Harriet Hageman demands answers from Zuckerberg over Cheyenne data center contamination, dry-cleaner permits are being used to build AI power plants, and a gambling pandemic traces back to DARPA.

Pushback: public informants rat out the Batman & Robin Flock-camera vandals, and DeFlock maps license plate readers in the open. In house at Solari: How Poland Kept Its Culture, Cracking the Sleep Code, the State Legislative Briefing on Programmable Money, and the Hero of the Week — Jon Rappoport.
