Catherine Austin Fitts on DOGE Spending Cuts Cancelled By Republican Leadership!

Trump’s rescission package includes $9.3 billion in cuts to the State Department, NPR, PBS, and other areas, with the majority of the cuts focused on foreign aid, totaling roughly $8 billion. However, the savings will be re-routed into the Pentagon as Trump proposed increasing its budget from $893 billion to $1.01 trillion.

Catherine Austin Fitts explained that if DOGE was interested in stopping fraud, Elon Musk would examine the Treasury and the New York Fed and the bank statements to find where the missing $21 trillion went. She said that because DOGE aims to obtain data from the IRS, Social Security, the Treasury and Health and Human Services (HHS), it appears that the goal is to build a social credit score system and re-engineer government cash flows to implement control. DOGE is not serious because it has yet to audit the Pentagon.

Private Equity Buying Up Affordable Housing Mobile Home Parks. Is There a Solution?

Institutional investors snapped up mobile home and trailer parks during COVID, and from 2020 to 2021, they bought almost a quarter of the parks that were sold. 12 private equity firms own at least 1,200 parks nationwide. 22 million Americans live in mobile home and trailer parks and are often the last line before homelessness. Residents own their homes and pay rent on the lot; they are captives because it costs too much to leave.

Some tenants band together to get financing to buy their park. A few states are considering legislation to limit rent increases and other measures that can hurt the landlords trying to sell the parks. A critic noted that if legislators are concerned about losing affordable housing, they could work with state housing authorities to provide funding for park owners looking to expand.

TRACK Is a New AI Surveillance Tool Allowing Police to Skirt Facial Recognition Bans

Veritone has produced a controversial new artificial intelligence (AI) tool, Track, that can track people using attributes like body size, gender, hair color and style, clothing, and accessories instead of facial recognition. Police and federal agencies are using it to get around a growing patchwork of laws that curb how they use facial recognition.

The system scans various video sources including closed-circuit security cameras, body-worn cameras, drones, Ring cameras, and publicly shared social media footage. Users select specific attributes, such as type and color of clothing, accessories like bags or hats, and physical features, to filter and identify subjects in the footage.

Privacy advocates warned that Track raises many of the same privacy concerns as facial recognition but also introduces new ones at a time when the Trump administration is pushing federal agencies to ramp up monitoring of protesters, immigrants, and students.

FBI Agents Beg Court to Destroy List Before ‘Shame’ Campaign

Attorney Ed Martin was appointed to head the Justice Department’s Weaponization Working Group, and he has vowed to to “name” and “shame” the thousands of FBI agents who helped crack down on more than 1,000 Americans allegedly involved in the Jan. 6, 2021, protests.

In response, a group of FBI agents involved in the Jan. 6 investigations asked a judge to destroy a Trump administration list containing the names of roughly 5,000 agents tied to the probes.
