NFL to Roll Out Facial Recognition Systems at All Stadiums
August 9th, 2024Via: The Record:
The National Football League is the latest organization to turn to facial authentication to bolster event security, according to an announcement this week.
All 32 NFL stadiums will start using the technology this season, after the league signed a contract with a company that uses facial scans to verify the identity of people entering event venues and other secure spaces.
The facial authentication platform, which counts the Cleveland Browns’ owners as investors, will be used to “streamline and secure” entry for thousands of credentialed media, officials, staff and guests so they can easily access restricted areas such as press boxes and locker rooms, Jeff Boehm, the chief operating officer of Wicket, said in a LinkedIn post Monday.
“Credential holders simply take a selfie before they come, and then Wicket verifies their identity and checks their credentials with Accredit (a credentialing platform) as they walk through security checkpoints,” Boehm added.
…
Some teams also have extended their use of the technology to scan the faces of ticket holders. The Cleveland Browns, Atlanta Falcons and New York Mets all have used the company’s facial authentication software to authenticate fans with tickets, according to Stadium Tech Report.
“Fans come look at the tablet and, instantly, the tablet recognizes the fan,” Brandon Covert, the vice president of information technology for the Cleveland Browns, said in a testimonial appearing on Wicket’s website. “It’s almost a half-second stop. It’s not even a stop — more of a pause.”
“It has greatly reduced the amount of time and friction that comes with entering the stadium,” Covert added. “It’s so much faster.”

Ukraine Forces Reach 10km Into Russia’s Kursk Region As Raid Enters 3rd Day
August 8th, 2024I don’t think the explanation below is very convincing, but I’ve got nothing better.
Via: ZeroHedge:
One question remains is: why?… given that this is basically a suicide mission. Some Ukraine war analysts have claimed it is at least in part about causing confusion in Russian military ranks and forcing the diversion of resources away from frontlines in the Donbass region, where Moscow forces have steadily advanced of late:
“It wasn’t accidental,” said war expert Kostyantyn Mashovets in a Facebook post. “It’s clearly part of one clear plan.”
Mykhaylo Zhyrokhov, a military analyst, agrees. He told the BBC that Russia had been forced to redeploy some troops there from the front line in eastern Ukraine.
“If you look at official reports, there were significantly fewer Russian glide bombs dropped in the Donetsk area,” he said. “That means the aircraft which carry them are now elsewhere in Russia.”
Russian media has meanwhile taken note of a fresh European Union statement lauding the brazen Ukrainian raid on Russian territory, with European Commission spokesman Peter Stano saying the EU fully supports the actions of Ukraine’s military.

And Now… “Robot Dog With Gun Turret For Hunting Aerial Drones Being Tested By Army”
August 8th, 2024Via: The War Zone:
A rifle-toting “robot dog” has become one of the latest additions to the ever-expanding array of concepts the U.S. military is exploring to help protect friendly forces from drones. Observations from the war in Ukraine and ongoing crises in the Middle East have provided renewed impetus for the acquisition of new anti-drone capabilities across America’s armed forces. Weaponizing robot dogs is also an area of growing interest within the U.S. military and elsewhere around the globe.
A Ghost Robotics’ Vision 60 quadrupedal unmanned ground vehicle (Q-UGV) armed with an AR-15/M16-type carbine is among the counter-drone capabilities being demonstrated at the U.S. Army’s Fort Drum in New York as part of what has been dubbed Operation Hard Kill.
Paper Straws Contain PFAS (Forever Chemicals)
August 7th, 2024Via: Xatakaon:
A team of researchers from the University of Antwerp in Belgium, has published a study on paper straws in the journal Food Additives and Contaminants, and it’s not good news.
After analyzing 39 brands of straws made of various materials such as plastic, paper, glass, stainless steel, and bamboo, the team found that paper straws contain the most perfluoroalkylated and polyfluoroalkylated substances, also known as PFAS. These synthetic substances are considered harmful to humans, animals, and the environment.
Ukrainian Forces Fight Inside Russia For Second Day
August 7th, 2024Via: The War Zone:
For the residents of Russia’s Kursk Oblast, the war is hitting home in a way few envisioned as a surprise mechanized Ukrainian incursion there stretches into its second day. Hundreds of Ukrainian troops and dozens of vehicles including tanks and other armor are said to have poured over the border, creating a pocket upwards of nearly 10 miles deep at some points.
…
Knowing exactly what is going on is difficult.
”I can confirm that we are aware of the recent movement by the [Ukrainian Armed Forces] into the region,” a Pentagon spokesman told The War Zone Wednesday morning. “The U.S. was not consulted about this movement.”
The fighting was still ongoing as of this morning, said the spokesperson, deferring any further updates to Ukraine.
The Russian Defense Ministry (MoD), which just last night claimed they repulsed the incursion, said on Wednesday that “the operation to neutralize the [Armed Forces of Ukraine] AFU units is in progress.” The MoD proffered that Ukrainian forces have paid dearly in the operation, ticking off a laundry list of hundreds of casualties and scores of equipment losses it is impossible to verify at this point. The MoD also said that Russian forces responded by striking several rallying points inside Ukraine.

The opening ceremony of the 2024 Paris Olympics generated such backlash that it was effectively scrubbed off the internet. However, this mega-ritual should not be forgotten. This article details the symbolic meaning of this ceremony, which celebrated France’s capitulation to the occult elite’s sick, satanic, and thoroughly degenerate agenda.
