Director of National Intelligence
National Counterterrorism CenterPresident Trump,
After much reflection, I have decided to resign from my position as Director of the National Counterterrorism Center, effective today.
I cannot in good conscience support the ongoing war in Iran. Iran posed no imminent threat to our nation, and it is clear that we started this war due to pressure from Israel and its powerful American lobby.
I support the values and the foreign policies that you campaigned on in 2016, 2020, 2024, which you enacted in your first term. Until June of 2025, you understood that the wars in the Middle East were a trap that robbed America of the precious lives of our patriots and depleted the wealth and prosperity of our nation.
In your first administration, you understood better than any modern President how to decisively apply military power without getting us drawn into never-ending wars. You demonstrated this by killing Qasem Solaimani and by defeating ISIS.
Early in this administration, high-ranking Israeli officials and influential members of the American media deployed a misinformation campaign that wholly undermined your America First platform and sowed pro-war sentiments to encourage a war with Iran. This echo chamber was used to deceive you into believing that Iran posed an imminent threat to the United States, and that you should strike now, there was a clear path to a swift victory. This was a lie and is the same tactic the Israelis used to draw us into the disastrous Iraq war that cost our nation the lives of thousands of our best men and women. We cannot make this mistake again.
As a veteran who deployed to combat 11 times and as a Gold Star husband who lost my beloved wife Shannon in a war manufactured by Israel, I cannot support sending the next generation off to fight and die in a war that serves no benefit to the American people nor justifies the cost of American lives.
I pray that you will reflect upon what we are doing in Iran, and who we are doing it for. The time for bold action is now. You can reverse course and find a new path for our nation, or you can allow us to slip further toward decline and chaos. You hold the cards.It was an honor to serve in your administration and to serve our great nation.
Joseph Kent
Director, National Counterterrorism Center

Board of Aldermen Meeting - Monday, March 16, 2026

 

Board of Aldermen Meeting - Monday, March 16, 2026 "Good evening, Board members and fellow residents. My name is Buddy Huggins, and I live here in Ozark. I create YouTube videos and write on my blog about topics that affect our community, including the Flock Safety cameras. Let me start by recognizing the good side. These cameras recently played a role in an Amber Alert success. They helped locate a vehicle quickly, leading to the safe recovery of a 4-year-old child. That's exactly the kind of public safety win we all support. However, I have some real concerns about how these systems are used—not just here, but across the country and even in similar ways around the world. First, they don't just watch criminals; they track all of us. For example, in one study from Virginia, a single driver's car was scanned over 500 times in just four months. That builds a detailed picture of someone's daily life—where they work, shop, or attend events—without any suspicion of wrongdoing. I came across a rumor online that Flock cameras are used in Iran, but after checking, that's not accurate. Flock is an American company focused on the US. Still, it raises a point: In countries like Iran, similar license plate readers and cameras have been hacked by foreign militaries to monitor people during conflicts. Closer to home, Flock has connections to US military bases and federal agencies, like pilots with Border Patrol that ended up sharing data in ways that broke some state rules. This makes me wonder: Are we building a network that's more about broad surveillance than targeted crime-fighting?Take missing children as an example. If the technology works for one Amber Alert, that's great—but why isn't it making a bigger dent in the larger problem? Each year, over 800,000 children are reported missing in the United States alone, and millions more worldwide. Yet, research shows these cameras only contribute to solving a small percentage of cases, often less than 20% even when they're involved. If they're truly effective, couldn't we direct them more narrowly toward high-priority alerts instead of collecting data on everyone? I'm not calling for a complete removal of the cameras. Perhaps we could limit them to major highways or use them only for active investigations and emergencies. That way, we balance safety with protecting our privacy and civil rights. I'd like the Board to consider these points and maybe discuss options for stronger oversight or restrictions. Thank you for your time and for listening to community voices like mine."

The Idea That Changes Everything, We Are Livestock. It Was All a Lie

🐍🔥💥‼️A MUST SEE VIDEO‼️💥🔥🐍
 

Years of behavioral conditioning have replaced your reality with a simulation you never consented to.

Once you see the six layers of control operating beneath every headline, every outrage cycle, every political drama — you cannot unsee them.

Unsettled is exactly how you're supposed to feel right now.

Architecture — not individuals, not parties, not villains — is what this video exposes. Reality was never taken from you by force. It was substituted so gradually you called it normal.

Every emotional reaction you've ever had to the news, to politics, to social media — was engineered.

Grounded in behavioral science, military intelligence doctrine, and documented history — this is not a conspiracy video.

Only one thing changes after watching this: you stop reacting on cue. Deciding to see the machinery is the most dangerous thing you can do to the system that built your cage.

Independent civilizations, separated by geography and centuries, described the same underlying structure of reality. If the pattern holds across time and culture, it stops being myth. It becomes a model.

Ring Divorced Flock... Now they Spy with Axon

 

Amazon just canceled Ring's partnership with Flock Safety, a surveillance company operating over 100,000 automated license plate reader cameras across 49 states that scan more than 20 billion plates per month. The deal would have allowed law enforcement to request Ring doorbell footage through Flock's platform, but Amazon pulled the plug after massive public backlash following a Super Bowl ad that showed Ring cameras coordinating across neighborhoods using AI. In this video, we cover exactly what Flock Safety is, how their network has been used by ICE for immigration enforcement through local police side-door access, and the case where a Texas sheriff's deputy searched 83,000 cameras to track a woman who had an abortion. We examine how security researchers found Flock cameras streaming live to the open internet without passwords, how stolen police login credentials ended up on a Russian cybercrime forum, and why Senators Wyden and Krishnamoorthi are demanding an FTC investigation. We cover Ring's Familiar Faces facial recognition feature already violating biometric privacy laws in three states, why the EFF warns that combining face recognition with neighborhood-wide searches is the obvious next step, and why canceling one partnership changes nothing when Ring still partners with Axon for police access and Search Party is enabled by default. We also cover the growing rebellion as more than 20 cities have pulled the plug on Flock, California's Attorney General has sued El Cajon for illegally sharing data with 26 states, and courts are split on whether any of this is even legal. We provide specific alternatives, including Frigate NVR and Home Assistant for local-only camera systems that keep your footage off corporate servers and out of law enforcement databases.

You’re probably worried about your Ring camera or Alexa listening to you — and that fear makes sense. But while everyone debates individual devices, almost no one is talking about the secret Amazon network quietly connecting them behind the scenes. And if you don’t understand what Amazon is doing, you’re allowing law enforcement to know everything about you without ever getting a warrant.

The tragic events of February 23 and 24 deeply affected Christian County and our Ozark community. During those difficult days, two Christian County deputies lost their lives in the line of duty, and two others were injured while protecting our community. Our thoughts and prayers remain with the families of these fallen heroes, the injured deputies and their families, and with Sheriff Brad Cole and the entire Christian County Sheriff’s Office. Even in the midst of this tragedy, I have witnessed the incredible strength and compassion of our community. The memorial at the corner of the Christian County Courthouse Square, filled with flowers and tributes, shows the deep respect our residents have for those who serve. Many people have also reached out asking how they can support the deputies’ families, and I have seen the outpouring of food and encouragement delivered to the Ozark Police Department in support of our officers. These acts of kindness speak volumes about the character of Ozark. In difficult moments, we come together. It is the people of this community who make Ozark such a special place, and I am deeply proud to serve as your mayor — especially during times when our support for one another matters most.  ~Mayor Don Currence

Join the Conversation: Charter Process Public Meeting March 24 Ozark voters will see two questions related to a potential city charter on the April 7, 2026, ballot. To help residents learn more, the City of Ozark will host a public informational meeting on March 24, 2026. Residents are encouraged to attend and ask questions. The meeting will also be available via live stream on the City of Ozark’s YouTube and Facebook pages. In Missouri, a charter city operates under a locally written charter, sometimes described as a city’s governing “constitution,” rather than relying solely on state statutes. A charter can outline how a city government is structured and how certain administrative and operational processes function. On April 7, Ozark residents will vote on whether a charter should be drafted and who would serve on a Charter Commission. If approved, the elected members would have approximately nine months to prepare a proposed charter. Any proposed charter would then return to Ozark voters for final consideration in April 2027. Residents can learn more about the charter process by visiting the Charter Commission Education webpage, which includes a list of Missouri charter cities, frequently asked questions, and a sample ballot to view.

Ozark Police Chief Visits Washington, D.C.

In February, Ozark Police Chief Justin Arnold traveled to Washington, D.C., with the Executive Board of the Mid-States Organized Crime Information Center (MOCIC). Chief Arnold serves as Missouri’s elected representative on the MOCIC Executive Board, representing approximately 410 Missouri law enforcement agencies. MOCIC is one of six Regional Information Sharing Systems (RISS) nationwide and supports law enforcement agencies across Missouri, Kansas, Nebraska, South Dakota, North Dakota, Minnesota, Iowa, Wisconsin and Illinois. The organization works to strengthen cooperation and intelligence sharing among agencies to combat organized crime and enhance public safety. During the visit, Chief Arnold and fellow board members met with federal leaders to discuss the importance of information sharing, collaborative investigations and continued public safety improvements. Meetings included conversations with Congressman Eric Burlison, Senator Eric Schmitt and other elected officials to highlight the impact of regional law enforcement partnerships across Missouri and the Midwest.  The City of Ozark thanks Chief Arnold for representing our community and Missouri law enforcement so well on the national stage! (Photos: Chief Justin Arnold with Congressman Eric Burlison (top) and with Senator Eric Schmitt and David Hall, MOCIC Executive Director)

Chadwick Flyer Bridge Nearing Completion The Chadwick Flyer Multi-Modal Bridge is in the final stages of completion. The fencing manufacturer is making a few adjustments to the remaining railing pieces, and once those are installed, city officials, MoDOT, and the contractor will conduct a final walk-through. If everything is approved during that inspection, the bridge will be ready to open. You may notice a few finishing touches taking place in the meantime, including staining the walls, as crews wrap up the last details. The finish line is in sight!

Progress Continues on Garrison Springs Trail

The Garrison Springs Trail project has been moving forward quickly thanks to the recent nice weather. Concrete has been poured from the culvert on 3rd Street to halfway into the city's Public Works property, and another section has been completed from just past the Public Works property to approximately 200 feet before 6th Avenue. Road widening and culvert extensions have also begun. Thank you for your continued patience and support as we build infrastructure that makes it easier to walk, bike, and move throughout Ozark. We’re thrilled to see this exciting project taking shape.
