‘Shoot Them Down’: Trump Chimes in on Drone Sightings, Calls for Answers

A Key Element to Understanding the Next Four Years

To understand the outcome of the next four years (and beyond) as we discuss on these pages, it is important to begin with the same baseline of information.  One key element that is not going to be discussed anywhere else, is what you will read below.

Consider this a baseline to review, consider and carry as context for what is going to come later in the world of the USA and President Trump politics.

Summarized it looks like this: In late summer 2023 not only myself, but several insightful analysts in the world of high finance, had come to the conclusion that Musk’s financial effort with the purchase of Twitter was unsustainable, unless something changed.

Something did change.

In early August of 2023, understanding the dynamic at stake, and also having a strategy for his own interests, Oracle’s Larry Ellison said, ‘he would not let Elon Musk fail with Twitter’.

Billionaire Larry Ellison, a Tesla Board member, already had invested money in place, but that wasn’t the motive on this move. In hindsight, Ellison was brilliant and intensely strategic.  It is important to understand what exactly ‘board members’ are recruited for, and the stability/security reasons for why they are recruited.

Ellison pumped money into the problem, relieving Musk of the cash flow problem created by his inability to divest shares (Musk was max-limited by Board). Ellison also helped make the $1.5 billion loan made by SpaceX, (unknown at the time) go away.

Ellison essentially positioned Twitter for the same dynamic reason that Bezos bought and used WaPo.  This is the world of high finance, and these moves are all about influence, leverage and ultimately positioning.   Ellison wanted a vessel for influence, a friendship and common ideological alignment therein just made sense.

With financial breathing room and a nod in the direction he needed to follow, after a brief stint with Ron DeSantis, Musk using his platform, leaned forward into Trump. The rest of that relationship origin is history.

Oracle, specifically Larry Ellison, is now positioned as the biggest benefactor of a second Trump administration, with a very specific group of technocrats in close alignment. AWS Jeff Bezos has been trying to make up ground ever since.

♦ Now that’s the elevator speech part; that’s the encapsulated or summarized version.  But it’s in the details where things get interesting.

It should be emphasized up front that no one is a bad guy in the framework of what took place; however, neither is this altruism.

These are essentially self-interests in a common alignment.  As long as the alignment is for good purposes, then the network of billionaire allies is in a very cool place.

Wyoming last week became the latest state to install AI-powered mass surveillance cameras, which will begin in the town of Jackson.

Cameras using automated license plate recognition (ALPR) technology can scan passing cars and capture license plate numbers, makes and models, colors, and identifying markers such as bumper stickers or broken tail lights. They then use artificial intelligence to break these data down into searchable queries and match them against the FBI’s National Crime Information Center (NCIC). If there is a match, a real-time alert is sent to law enforcement.

Jackson, Wyoming

The cameras feed into a centralized mass camera network owned by the manufacturer, Flock Safety, which it calls a “public safety platform”.

On Wednesday, the Jackson Town Council narrowly voted to spend $185,000 to install 30 ALPR Falcon cameras from Flock Safety, though even proponents of the measure felt uneasy.

“I don’t like this particular arc of this particular part of history,” said Councilman Josh Schechter. “I’m screaming ‘stop’ as I vote ‘yes.’”

Councilwoman Sell Chambers, who also voted “yes”, expressed her trepidation.

“I have traditionally been anti-surveillance, I think it has been a slippery slope,” she said. “But I just think that that ship has sailed. We are so under surveillance, like constantly, everywhere.”

Over 2,000 cities across 43 states have already installed Flock Safety’s ALPR cameras, according to the Daily Wire. The devices can also be purchased by private individuals, businesses, schools and homeowners associations (HOAs), who can also create their own “hot lists”. Hundreds of HOAs are reportedly using the cameras.

Flock Safety also sells other devices such as Raven, an audio device built to detect the sounds of gunshots, breaking glass, sawing metal or screeching tires.

Aside from being used to “fight crime” ALPR cameras are being used in other parts of the world to enforce climate mandates.

Wyoming

In the United Kingdom and Europe, Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) cameras are placed around Ultra-Low Emission Zones (ULEZ), areas only accessible to low-emission vehicles. Cars that do not meet the city’s environmental standards are charged a daily fee for entering the ULEZ, which in London costs £12.50 ($16.00). Fines are levied against cars which the cameras catch entering without the authorized sticker.

But Londoners are not responding well to the climate mandates, refusing to pay the fines and even vandalizing dozens of cameras.
