I generally try to avoid enemedia stories. Events like Las Vegas and Parkland make that hard to do. There are legitimate questions as to who, what, where, how, and why these events occurred, and the enemedia coverage isn't designed to answer those questions.
It's designed to use the events against us.
One of the worst effects of using these events to push propaganda (like disarmament of Americans, a dire threat at present) is that the confusion, disinformation, political grandstanding, virtue signalling, and outright bullshit isn't curtailed, it's magnified. Cops lie. Witnesses mistate. Reporters exaggerate and pontificate. Suspects are demonized, and even lie when confessing. Insane people do insane things, for insane reasons.
Presently Broward County Sheriff Scott Israel is refusing to release the surveillance video of the event.
Given the evidentiary nature of the video and the pressing public interest, I do not agree that the video should be kept secret. In fact, I don't agree that surveillance video should be withheld from the public at all, ever. Even when no crime has been committed.
If the video is of a public place, and is owned by a public entity (government) then it's public property, and we own it. It should be in our possession. Do you choose to delegate your ownership (possession is 90% of ownership) to Sheriff Israel? Were I a Broward County citizen, I would not.
Further, that footage being in public hands would prevent cowards, liars, and potential accessories from concealing their crimes. Not just in Parkland, and not just crimes of mass murder of innocent children, but every crime which is recorded by publicly owned video surveillance.
We need to setup a live stream blockchain medium to receive and store live public surveillance video, for several reasons.
First, we own it. It's ours, not Sheriff Israel or any other spook, cop, or criminal's, and I don't need a gatekeeper keeping my stuff from me.
Second, government often is the criminal actor the surveillance would reveal. Allowing government to conceal the evidence of it's crimes is less than wise. Kinda guarantees government will be corrupt, doesn't it?
Third, the blockchain would protect the evidentiary nature of the video. There are presently various means of altering video convincingly to make it appear that people said things they didn't, or did things they never did. By live streaming video to a blockchain where it can be proved to have remained unaltered, that video can be evidence.
Video Sheriff Israel and his crack team of photoshoppers releases someday will have zero evidentiary value.
Fourth, surveillance of criminal activity is a known potentiator of blackmail. Blackmail seems to be the primary mechanism of control the deep state uses to keep our 'public servants' in line, and doing us dirty. The CIA certainly knew of Dennis Hastert's kiddy diddling--and that made him their slave, and a weapon against us. Who knows how many more victims suffered his assaults even though they knew, because revealing that information would have released their profitable blackmail on him.
Had we known what they knew, he'd have never been third in line for the Presidency of the United States of America. I am certain multiple surveillance videos are currently being used to blackmail various officials, and were that video instead in the hands of the public, those criminals would be in jail where they belong, and not sucking at the public teat of our labor stolen from us by force--which that blackmail evidence being secret from it's owners makes those officials unable to change, even if they wanted to.
Fifth, we are being surveilled mercilessly, by myriad actors, to an unknown extent. We should know how badly our privacy is compromised. We should certainly know information regarding us that exists, that we paid to generate, and we own, rather than it only being known to potentially bad actors. This would at least ameliorate that problem. We'd have a better idea of how to protect our privacy, and know what we can't help but reveal.
When our secrets are compromised by such surveillance, we should damn well know it, or we could be the subjects of blackmail, insider trading, or innumerable potential means of theft or other harm.
Sixth, we should demand our public servants prove they are actually worthy of the salaries and encomiums they receive for their service. I am certain sure that many of them are not. If you get a paycheck of money extorted from the public, you don't have a right to be free from surveillance. We have a right to know what we're getting for our money. Many private employers use surveillance to make sure they're not being ripped off by employees, and that their employees are working diligently.
Do you think any of those private employers would tolerate for one minute not having access to their surveillance video they own, paid for, and have a need for? No. Not one of them, and neither should we.
Seventh, we can end government corruption, for the most part, by surveilling the corruptocrats, from the lowliest meter reader, to the President hisself. Should we?
srsly? YES, you're damn right we should!
They're already being surveilled. We the owners don't have possession of our property, which we need to ensure we're not being sold down the river by corrupt congresscritters and crooked cops.
Like Sheriff Israel, who needs to prove he isn't an accessory to the murder of 17 children in Broward County, February 14th, 2018.
I'd like to have a conversation about Proof, a blockchain surveillance livestreaming and storage service.
Would a cryptocurrency make it easier, or muddy the water? Are there potential surveillance video scenarios that might make this undesirable? Let me know what you think please. Also, for anyone thinking of running with this ball, and cutting me out of the immense profits, go ahead.
Please, steal this idea and make this happen. I have no interest in profits, other than the freedom of my people, and the security of our children. Those are the only profit I am interested in.
