Alfred Schafer, an FTJ streamer in Germany, was just arrested, simply for his speech. He's just a sweet old guy who says the Holohoax didn't happen. Both he and his sister have served prison terms in Germany for the same thing in the past. Germany only has those vile blasphemy laws because of jew run America. These people are considered criminals in Germany, while Arabs rape girls, both of these conditions exist because of jews.

"Privacy is Dead" Video:

The more obvious threat is to your home security, and to who inhabits that home. Most devices use a cloud service to store data. But while YOU can't access this data, hackers definitely can, and have in the past.

Look at EUFY, the smart camera system that proclaimed everything was local and not in the cloud.

lifewire.com/why-ankers-eufy-c…

In March 2021, hackers breached a server for security cameras, gaining access to live feeds for hospitals, women's health clinics, prisons, police departments, and even schools.

finance.yahoo.com/news/hackers…

Alexa speakers were also hacked, with malicious actors getting access to banking details, voice search history, and even access to the various skills and commands you could ask Alexa.

avira.com/en/blog/these-are-th…

Or, still on Amazon, their Ring range of devices was also easily hacked.
nordvpn.com/blog/ring-doorbell…

With access to your smart home devices, hackers could remotely disable the alarm, disable the cameras, and just wait until you leave to go and grab everything they want. They could even have a full map of your house thanks to your robot vacuum which diligently created that map for them.

Same applies for privacy, but the main people who benefit from that are the companies that sell you the products.

Most companies that make smart home appliances don't care about the smart home, they care about the data these appliances can give them, and how they can sell access to that data to advertisers.

And again, why would that matter? We're already giving away most of our data to Google, Apple, Meta, Microsoft, and a lot of others.

But it's not just data about YOU, is it? It's data bout your home, and everyone who lives in it. Your significant other, your kids, your visiting friends, family. As long as they stay in your house, their data is also going to the company who made your appliances.

But why you probably SHOULD care is because that data isn't going away. And it's available to any government that has laws that gives it access to.

Basically, here again, if your data is going to a server that's not yours, then the company that hosts it probably uses that data for profiling, and various governments around the world probably have access to it as well.

Now, of course, you CAN set up a smart home without using cloud based products. There's a very cool thing called home assistant. It's open source, it can run on something as small as a raspberry pi, so you can self host it, and all the data stays on your local network, where it's not 100% safe, but it's still way safer than being on the open internet.

Home Assistant integrates with tons and tons of services, like homekit, alexa, google assistant, zigbee, philips hue, samsung smarthings, google cast, Z Wave, and more.

BUT home assistant isn't perfect. First, out of the box, it's local only, so no controlling your stuff when you're not on your wifi network. You can solve that using Home Assistant Cloud. But guess what: you're still using other cloud services like a voice assistant for example to communicate with Home Assistant.

Why Anker’s Eufy Cameras Upload Scandal Shows the Dangers of Home Automation

The whole eufy camera debacle raises a good point; even if you choose a reliable brand, how do you know your security cameras won’t leak data, or worse, be hacked to spy on you?

Varcoe: Carney says it's 'highly likely' an oil pipeline will make Ottawa's major project list.

I'm a way, liberals are worse than conservatives on the climate because at least conservatives are honest about what they're doing.

Meanwhile, liberals pretend to care about the climate while doing the exact same thing.

This is exactly why people become cynical about politics and become open to ’they’re all the same - corrupt!' - appeals.

July 7 - Robert A. Heinlein birthday!

American science fiction author, aeronautical engineer, and naval officer. Sometimes called the "dean of science fiction writers", he was among the first to emphasize scientific accuracy in his fiction, and was thus a pioneer of the subgenre of hard science fiction.

It's the birthday of science fiction writer Robert A. Heinlein, born in Butler, Missouri, in 1907. He studied physics and mathematics at UCLA and then began writing science fiction, or, as he preferred to call it, "speculative fiction." His novel Stranger in a Strange Land, published in 1961, became a cult classic.

He said, "I think that science fiction, even the corniest of it, even the most outlandish of it, no matter how badly it's written, has a distinct therapeutic value because all of it has as its primary postulate that the world does change."

Der Grund, warum wir Gutmenschen immer verlieren, liegt darin, dass wir uns an zig Fronten verzetteln: Artenschutz, Klimaschutz, Arbeitskämpfe, Mieterkämpfe, Verkehrswende, Energiewende usw. Unser Gegner hat dagegen nur ein Programm: Wirtschaftswachstum um jeden Preis, für immer mehr Gewinn für eine kleine, kaum wachsende Zahl von Menschen. Was wir brauchen, ist eine Mega-Organisation, ein mächtiger und auch finanzstarker Zusammenschluss aller, die begriffen haben, dass Bienensterben, Pflegenotstand, Klimakrise und Mietwucher alle die gleiche Ursache haben.

Well the space it's been limping along in is going away, and it's just gonna go into storage if we don't sell it like now.

It was $30,000 a few years ago, so it's now ONE-SIXTH the price. C'mon, come get this machine and whatever else is left in the space.

Yesterday's #sunset started rather humbly with a large amount of clouds and not much sun to be seen. (A typhoon was approaching.)
enter image description here
Waves were quite stronger than usual and I thought that capturing the sun a last time in the gap between clouds and horizon would be it.
enter image description here
But then the sun had disappeared behind the horizon and lit up more and more clouds from below.
enter image description here
That was quite a spectacle and the fiery red clouds spread more and more. Only for a short time, but that was impressive.
enter image description here
Partially it gave the impression that the clouds were on fire.

DOJ released 11 hours of video outside Epstein's cell. One of the comments I found from someone who watched it:

They may have used the old 'take a picture of the hallway and put it in front of the camera' trick from Mission Impossible. Or more likely the looped camera footage one. If you look closely at the video, you can see the same cockroach take the same path across the upper right hand corner of the frame seven times. 😂

In a review of a new biography: "Although [Tim] O'Brien was adamantly opposed to American involvement in Vietnam, he dutifully showed up when his draft number was called because he 'lacked the courage' to do otherwise."
This confession challenges the macho penchant to dismiss as cowards those who refused to kill on command - & to glorify all who followed orders, regardless of whom they killed & why.
Would that there were more quietly heroic resisters today in, say, Israel, Russia, and the U.S.
