Hidden Cameras, GPS Data, and License Plate Readers: How the USPIS Tracks Down Mail Thieves
A court record shows how the oft overlooked United States Postal Inspection Service turned to all manner of tech to investigate someone stealing from mailboxes.
This article was produced in collaboration with Court Watch, an independent outlet that unearths overlooked court records.
To track down an alleged mail thief, a US postal inspector used license plate reader technology, GPS data collected by a rental car company, and, most damning of all, hid a camera inside one of the targeted blue post boxes which captured the suspect’s full face as they allegedly helped themselves to swathes of peoples’ mail.

When Should Security Clearance Be Denied Based on Interest in QAnon and Three Percenters?
Security clearances can be denied based on constitutionally protected speech; but there’s an adjudicative process aimed at reviewing whether such denials make sense in light of the facts of each case.
From a decision released Oct. 24, but just posted on Westlaw, ISCR Case No. 22-00849 (Dep’t of Defense Office of Hearings & Appeals) (Administrative Judge Edward W. Loughran), concluding that the applicant, who worked for a DoD contractor, should regain his security clearance; an excerpt, though you can read the full decision for more on the Three-Percenters, QAnon, and the general legal rules applicable in this case:

… On January 13, 2021, a U.S. servicemember reported that a vehicle on the military installation was “displaying Three Percenter and QAnon stickers on its back window. Both of these organizations/beliefs have been linked to racially motivated violent extremism and anti-government actions.” He reported that he first noticed the “III” sticker on July 31, 2020, and the QAnon sticker on January 12, 2021. He stated that he became aware of the III symbol because it was reported that an NFL player had the symbol as a tattoo. Continued . . .

Modern Monetary Madness
The destruction of Western Cultures is not an unintended consequence of Neoliberalism, it is deliberate part of the plan of Neoliberalism. Cultures bind peoples together, give them purpose, give them a sense of belonging and create a cohesiveness in the citizenry. Neoliberalism does not want that. Neoliberalism wants desperate, rootless people who can be arbitraged against other desperate, rootless people for the profit of the so-called elite.The destruction of culture is not an artifact of Neoliberalism – it is part of the very design of Neoliberalism.

By destroying the family, the elite transfers the allegiance of the individual from the former to the government. The later in return grants him the benefits of its numerous social programs that proclaim to mimic the security the family previously provided (more or less equitably or justly). The practical result is that now the portion of income that the individual could save is now justifiably taxable. And the longer he contributes to these social schemes the stronger his destiny is bound to that of the system. Once a critical mass of the population has been driven away from the family to the government, the ability to issue currency greatly increases since no one would dare disturb the system which has now become synonymous to his retirement plans.
