Meet Flexman, the Italian vigilante who wages war on automatic radars
Meet Flexman, the Italian vigilante who wages war on automatic radarsEel under the Rock - Jan 31, 2024
For eight months, a mysterious man, nicknamed “Flexman” by his motoring fans, has been decommissioning speed cameras in several regions of Italy by cutting the metal poles that support them using an angle grinder.
The angle grinder was invented in 1954 by a German company called Flex. Even today, in many European countries, the angle grinder is commonly called “flex”.
Little did the creators of this useful tool know that, several decades later, the flex would inspire the nickname of a vigilante who specialized in dismantling speed traps on the roads of Italy using an angle grinder on the metal posts that support them. Flexman made headlines in May last year, when it disabled its first radar on a road near Bosaro, in the Rovigo region, Italy. Since then, he has managed to disable at least seven other cameras in Rovigo and Veneto using his infamous angle grinder, and authorities still don't know who he is or how to stop him.
Flexman carries out his missions in the dead of night, usually between 1 and 2 a.m., approaching traffic cameras and taking an angle grinder to tackle the base of the metal posts that support them. He's been nicknamed the "motor's vigilante," and many drivers consider him a sort of modern Robin Hood fighting the system, but to the authorities, Flexman is nothing more than a menace causing tens of thousands of euros in damage and making the roads less safe.
For Flexman and those who support him, things are quite simple: too many municipal and provincial governments have mushroomed radars, placing them in the oddest places except where they are actually needed, more concerned to fill their own coffers than to prevent road accidents.
Mirco Gennari, provincial coordinator of the local police workers' union, called Flexman a criminal, but expressed hope that his popularity among motorists makes some administrations think about the use and abuse of certain tools, as well as on the proper use of local police, who deserve better than being relegated to the role of tax collector.
The Italian press reported that Flexman's exploits in Rovigo and Veneto inspired similar actions by disgruntled motorists in other parts of Italy, with some choosing to blow up speed cameras, others bombarding them with large stones, and still others copying the modus operandi of the vigilante.

Revolt: citizens dismantle London surveillance cameras
Revolt: citizens dismantle London surveillance camerasThe Free Thinker - August 17, 2023
Anything done by the elite can be taken down by the people...
British citizens are furious. Sadiq Khan is installing #ULEZ (Ultra low emission zones) reconnaissance cameras all over London. Those unable to afford electric vehicles will be fined £12 (around €15) every time they drive past them. The citizens retaliate by shooting them as soon as they are installed as you can see on this video. Tyranny only works when the population accepts it, otherwise it can be stopped immediately, it all depends on the will of the people.

Towards the dismantling of Google!
Towards the dismantling of Google!Insolentiae – Jan 28, 2023
“The US Department of Justice has filed a complaint against the Internet search giant, Google, accused of “monopolizing” the online advertising market.
“Google has used anti-competitive and illegal methods to eliminate, or drastically reduce, any threat to its dominance over the technologies used for digital advertising,” the authority said on Tuesday, January 24, in a court document sent to the press. . The ministry and eight American states, including California and New York, are asking the courts to condemn the Californian group for violating competition law, to make the company pay damages, and finally, to order the sale of its activities related to the sale of online advertising space.
This is the second complaint launched by the ministry against the Californian group since the inauguration of President Joe Biden two years ago. The first, which relates to the domination of its search engine, should lead to a trial this year.
Google has already been fined in the past for violating competition law, notably by the European Union. In the United States, the company is already facing lawsuits launched at the end of 2020 by a coalition of states, led by Texas. They accuse Google of having sought to oust all competition by manipulating advertising auctions.

US wants to make EU integration into NATO irreversible
US wants to make EU integration into NATO irreversibleInternational Network - Jan 13, 2023
It is obvious to me that the real strategic objective of the United States is not primarily the weakening of Russia. The weakening of Russia is an ancillary objective of the main objective which is the remodeling of the world order in the preparatory framework of the acceleration of the calendar of future confrontation.
I wrote a short time ago that the United States had chosen a hardline position.
I maintain it.
They have gotten themselves into a terrible trap and instead of navigating with caution and restraint, they are trying to put the Europeans in the same trap as them.
They take note of the now definitive rupture of international cooperation, they play the cleavage to the fullest and want to make it irreversible.
The position of France and Italy in favor of negotiations and a return to the previous status quo, the position of German industrialists who want to remain partners with China, bothers them.
They seize this tipping point in Ukraine to force the hand of the Europeans with the help of frenzied Atlanticist Trojan horses like von der Leyen, Charles Michel and the German Greens.
I believe that we are at a critical point in terms of international relations. Or in terms of the world order.

The order of doctors collaborated: “The destruction of medicine is underway. »The Media in 4-4-2 - Oct 17, 2022
We think we are dreaming when François Braun, Macron's Minister of Health, dares to present the National Council for Refoundation as the heir to the National Council of Resistance.
Macron's National Council for Refoundation is not the National Council of Resistance. François Braun is not Jean Moulin and those who want a medicine for who can pay overruns are not those who wanted a medicine for all citizens. The order of doctors collaborated. It continues and the so-called Refoundation is nothing but destruction.

The Western strategy to dismantle the Russian Federation
The Western strategy to dismantle the Russian FederationVoltairenet - August 16, 2022
Reconnecting with the strategies of Germany during the First World War and of the United States and Ukrainian integral nationalists during the Cold War, the West has just created a Forum of the Free Peoples of Russia.
It is a question of prolonging the break-up of the USSR, of creating separatist movements in order, ultimately, to proclaim the independence of twenty regions of the country.
On August 15, 2022, President Vladimir Putin, who is acutely aware of this Western strategy, announced the convening of a world anti-Nazi conference in Moscow.
