The US military is conducting wide-area surveillance tests across six midwest states using experimental high-altitude balloons, documents filed with the Federal Communications Commission

If you thought that the election of Donald Trump as president of the United States was going to repeal the Patriot Act at best, or stop government intrusion into our lives at least, you would be quite wrong. Case in point is our story today about DARPA and the Pentagon conducting high-altitude spy tests using mass surveillance balloons over 6 midwest states. And no, this is not conspiracy theory either. Down below are links to the manufacturers of the balloons.

As we have been warning you, very radical change is underway right now that will transform the United States, no matter who is president, into a place that cannot be rightly imagined by a generation raised on Norman Rockwell paintings, baseball and apple pie. America is coming apart at the seams from all sides, and we are starting to see why the United States doesn’t appear in end times Bible prophecy though dozens of other nations do.

Whistleblowers like Julian Assange and Edward Snowden tried their best to warn us, but we ignorantly failed to heed their warnings. As shocking as these surveillance balloons are, it is only the very tip of the government surveillance iceberg. Perhaps you need to visit our DARPA Archive and refresh your memory.

Pentagon testing mass surveillance balloons across the US

FROM THE GUARDIAN UK: Up to 25 unmanned solar-powered balloons are being launched from rural South Dakota and drifting 250 miles through an area spanning portions of Minnesota, Iowa, Wisconsin and Missouri, before concluding in central Illinois.

Travelling in the stratosphere at altitudes of up to 65,000ft, the balloons are intended to “provide a persistent surveillance system to locate and deter narcotic trafficking and homeland security threats”, according to a filing made on behalf of the Sierra Nevada Corporation, an aerospace and defence company.

The balloons are carrying hi-tech radars designed to simultaneously track many individual vehicles day or night, through any kind of weather. The tests, which have not previously been reported, received an FCC license to operate from mid-July until September, following similar flights licensed last year.

Arthur Holland Michel, the co-director of the Center for the Study of the Drone at Bard College in New York, said, “What this new technology proposes is to watch everything at once. Sometimes it’s referred to as ‘combat TiVo’ because when an event happens somewhere in the surveilled area, you can potentially rewind the tape to see exactly what occurred, and rewind even further to see who was involved and where they came from.”

The tests have been commissioned by the US Southern Command (Southcom), which is responsible for disaster response, intelligence operations and security cooperation in the Caribbean and Central and South America. Southcom is a joint effort by the US army, navy, air force and other forces, and one of its key roles is identifying and intercepting drug shipments headed for the United States.

“We do not think that American cities should be subject to wide-area surveillance in which every vehicle could be tracked wherever they go,” said Jay Stanley, a senior policy analyst at the American Civil Liberties Union.

“Even in tests, they’re still collecting a lot of data on Americans: who’s driving to the union house, the church, the mosque, the Alzheimer’s clinic,” he said. “We should not go down the road of allowing this to be used in the United States and it’s disturbing to hear that these tests are being carried out, by the military no less.”

For many years, Sierra Nevada has supplied Southcom with light aircraft packed with millions of dollars’ worth of sensors, which then flew over Mexico, Colombia, Panama and the Caribbean sea. But planes require expensive crews and can only fly for a few hours at a time. In a report to the Senate armed services committee this February, Southcom’s commander, Admiral Craig Faller, wrote: “While improving efficiency, we still only successfully interdicted about six percent of known drug movements [in 2018].”

The new balloons promise a cheap surveillance platform that could follow multiple cars and boats for extended periods. And because winds often travel in different directions at different altitudes, the balloons can usually hover over a given area simply by ascending or descending.

Neither Sierra Nevada nor US Southcom responded to requests for comment on this story. However, the rival balloon operator World View recently announced that it had carried out multi-week test missions in which its own stratospheric balloons were able to hover over a five-mile-diameter area for six and a half hours, and larger areas for days at a time.

“The very nature of these balloons is that they can operate for weeks and months,” said Ryan Hartman, the CEO of World View. “The challenge is how to harness the stratospheric winds to be able to create a persistent station-keeping capability for customers.”

Raven Aerostar, the company that is supplying the balloons for Southcom’s tests and launching them from its facility in South Dakota, told the Guardian that it has had balloons remain aloft for nearly a month. Raven also makes balloons for the Alphabet subsidiary Loon, which uses them to help deliver internet and cellphone service from the stratosphere.

The FCC documents show that Southcom’s balloons are carrying small, satellite-like vehicles housing sophisticated sensors and communication gear. One of those sensors is a synthetic aperture radar intended to detect every car or boat in motion on a 25-mile swath beneath the balloon.

The balloons also have advanced mesh networking technologies that allow them to communicate with one another, share data and pass it to receivers on the ground below. READ MORE

SmartLA 2028: I’m Sure It’s Just A Massive Coincidence, But Did You Know They’re Planning On Turning Los Angeles Into A Smart City In Just 3 Years?

SHARE NOW THE END BEGINS:

In the confusion of the COVID Pandemic of 2020, a plan was quietly hatched to turn Los Angeles into a digitized smart city, welcome to SmartLA 2028

Earlier today, we wrote an article asking a question about the massive fire that has destroyed 12,000+ acres in Los Angeles, wondering if it happen by neglect or by planning. Did Gavin Newsom failed to prepare his state for this fire because he was so hyper-focused on transgender rights and healthcare for illegals? That’s a very likely possibility, and certainly part of the story, but as Paul Harvey used to say, “now for the rest of the story”. The rest of the story takes us to a little something called ‘SmartLA 2028’, the plan to turn all of Los Angeles into a digitized, smart city. That’s the memo.

“And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.” John 8:32 (KJB)

Remaking a city is hard work, it takes a lot of time, a lot of planning and a lot of money, with little guarantee that the city you wish to make can be created from the existing structure. But what if there was a massive fire, say the largest fire in the history of Los Angeles, and much of the city you want to remake gets destroyed? Well, making the new city now would be so much easier to do. Is that what they just did? I don’t know, but it sure is crazy suspicious to have a preventable fire of this magnitude that somehow was not prevented, raze much of Los Angeles to the ground, leaving the mandate to rebuild, and as quickly as possible. Before you make up your mind, just remember that, if you were alive in 2020, you’ve already been exposed to a man-made virus intentionally released on the world from a lab in China, you’ve already been locked down against your will, and you were bullied into taking a ‘vaccine’ you did not want and did not trust that has already sickened and killed millions of people. Now, is staging a fire to turn Los Angeles into a smart city really so hard to imagine? Nope, makes a whole lot of sense to me.

In the confusion of the COVID Pandemic of 2020, a plan was quietly hatched to turn Los Angeles into a digitized smart city that would administer social justice, implement digital surveillance, and begin to start the process of making all residents give up their vehicles to take public transportation. One key ‘tell’ you will notice is the use of the term ‘stakeholder’ when referring to the residents of Los Angeles. You know who else talks like that? Klaus Schwab in the Great Reset. Here below is their plan to create a smart city out of Los Angeles, the full PDF is below it.

SmartLA 2028: Technology for a better Los Angeles

In 2019, the City of Los Angeles Information Technology Agency (ITA) convened its Smart City Committee, composed of 24 departments and elected officials. While Los Angeles had become a civic technology leader (winning #1 U.S. Digital City award for three straight years), the exponential growth of new technologies and increasing public expectations SmartLA 2028 1requires new levels of coordination to realize our vision. Our Smart City Committee came to the following conclusions:

  1. Smart cities are multi-faceted and made up of several components, not just IT infrastructure
  2. Smart cities are evolving, which requires both near-term and long-term goals that adhere to an overarching set of Smart City values
  3. Smart cities require collaboration, where government and non-government entities work together to deliver best-in-class services to the public
  4. Smart cities require local resident and business participation, especially in light of major social movements, such as the protests for racial justice, the Digital Divide, and social impacts from the COVID-19 pandemic
  5. Smart cities don’t happen by accident; they require careful strategic planning and investment to become intelligent urban ecosystems designed for the humans that live there. Understanding the importance of technology for the modern city, SmartLA 2028 is our concise smart city strategy, which is followed by specific working group meetings and an implementation plan for impacted City of Los Angeles departments.

The events of the year 2020 further remind us of the importance of being a Smart City. The COVID-19 pandemic has been a humanitarian and economic crisis. The protests for racial justice are a stark reminder of the urgency to unite and act upon our guiding principles for a just society that upholds and values the lives of all Americans, regardless of race.

Los Angeles residents will experience an improved quality of life by leveraging technology to meet urban challenges. No longer the “car capital of the world”, residents will choose how they wish to get around LA, using a single, digital payment platform, with choices like renovated Metro rail and bus systems or micro transit choices, such as on-demand LANow shuttles or dockless bicycles. Neighborhoods will again welcome the pedestrian and allow easy access to green space. NTEB TRANSLATION: You will give up your car, and like it (Klaus Schwab 2021)

Other advancements will enable Angelenos to access City services like park information or library digital content from the comfort of their homes through an Amazon Echo, Google Home, or Apple Siri. Living in a Digital Economy, the City of Los Angeles will continue to improve both the speed of Internet access and accessibility for underserved communities through a dedicated digital inclusion fund. NTEB TRANSLATION: There is no need to leave your home, everything will come to you, this is what a 15-minute smart city is built to do.

From An ISIS Terror Attack In New Orleans To A Tesla Cybertruck Exploded In Front Of A Trump Hotel, We’re Getting The Message Of What’s Waiting In 2025

SHARE NOW THE END BEGINS:

An ISIS terror attack started us off on New Year’s Eve, and now a Tesla Cybertruck has exploded like a bomb in front of the Trump Hotel in Las Vegas. What’s the message here?

Over the past few weeks on our NTEB Prophecy News Podcast, we’ve been warning you to buckle up for some serious stuff in 2025. We repeated that warning with our good friends at The Soul Trap in a special New Year’s Eve podcast last night. A podcast so hot, mind you, that YouTube removed it almost as soon as it aired. Yeah, man, that’s the business. All those warnings have come true in spectacular fashion as we are, right now, a mere 15 hours and 20 minutes into the new year of 2025, and already we’ve witnessed a mass casualty event in New Orleans where 10 died and 30 were wounded by a homegrown ISIS terrorist, and now a Tesla Cybertruck exploded in front of the Trump Hotel in Las Vegas. Almost forgot, the skies have literally been scorched from chemtrail activity this morning.

“Behold ye among the heathen, and regard, and wonder marvellously: for I will work a work in your days, which ye will not believe, though it be told you.” Habakkuk 1:5 (KJB)

On the Podcast last night, Bro. Tillis, Bro. Kevin and I talked about the extremely high likelihood that 2025 was going to be a ‘sister year’ to 2020, and let me just say right now we’re calling it. Donald Trump famously campaigned, (some would say infamously), for president alongside the world’s richest man and tech titan Elon Musk. You might even say that it was Musk’s help that put Trump in the White House. So what do we now make of a Tesla Cybertruck, outfitted as a literal bomb, and exploded in front of the Trump Hotel in Las Vegas? It’s a message is what it is, and that message is ‘prepare for war’ in 2025, because it’s not only coming, it’s here. That’s the memo.

Tesla Cybertruck ‘explodes’ at Trump International Hotel in Las Vegas, video goes viral

FROM THE HINDUSTAN TIMES: Authorities are investigating a car fire that took place at Donald Trump’s Las Vegas hotel on Wednesday. A vehicle was reportedly caught up in flames, leaving a cloud of smoke outside the Trump International Hotel in Nevada, reported Fox 5 Las Vegas. While the fire has since been put out, the Las Vegas police department said that they are looking into what caused the incident at the hotel’s entrance.

In the video obtained by the outlet, smoke can be seen billowing from the 64-storey luxury hotel. A Clark County spokesperson confirmed that a vehicle fire was first reported around 8:40 am in the valet area, per KSNV. While no injuries have been reported, roads near the hotel were shut down. Fashion Show Drive is currently closed from Las Vegas Boulevard to Sammy Davis Jr. Drive.

According to a viral clip shared on X, a Tesla Cybertruck can be seen wrapped up in flames at the president-elect’s hotel. Internet personality Nick Sortor also shared the video along with the tweet, “Police are now calling the Cybertruck explosion outside Trump Tower in Las Vegas an “ACTIVE CRIME SCENE.” Multiple injuries are being reported as well. Is someone trying to send a message?”

Another X user who goes by the name Marissa said that they were staying at the Trump Hotel. “Staying at Trump International right now. The elevators are off & the hallways are smoky on the 26th floor. No communication from the hotel to the guests yet,” the user wrote while attaching seemingly real-time videos from the hotel.

DRONE MYSTERY SOLVED: Palantir and Shield AI Are Releasing The Hivemind Autonomous Drone Deployment System And We’re The Test Subjects

Published

SHARE NOW THE END BEGINS:

Palantir and Shield AI are collaborating on a new effort to use Hivemind technology to allow drones and other uncrewed systems to autonomously detect and respond to threats without direct human control

On the Podcast that ended just moments ago, we showed you the incredible trail that starts with Elon Musk and Peter Thiel creating PayPal, takes you to a company called Palantir who created a COVID Vaccine Recipient Tracking System called Tiberius for the Trump administration, to Thiel ‘gifting’ JD Vance $15,000,000.00 in 2022, to Vance becoming VP in 2024, to Elon Musk who ‘adopted’ Trump and used his vast wealth to drive his election bid over the finish line, back to Palantir who is, right now, working with an AI company called Shield to launch the Hivemind. What is the Hivemind? It’s the reason for the drone sightings all across the country, it’s a practice run.

“Then was the secret revealed unto Daniel in a night vision. Then Daniel blessed the God of heaven.” Daniel 2:19 (KJB)

Alex Burtness, director of product management at Shield AI, said the Hivemind system enables uncrewed aerial systems (UASs) to perform tasks such as threat detection, targeting, and mission adaptation without manual input. Palantir’s interface provides operators with command and control, situational awareness, and data-driven decision-making, Burtness said. “It allows them to see the big picture,” he said.

The aircraft uses sensors to create a map or world-view, the Hivemind then tells the aircraft or autopilot where to go and what to do to execute its mission. No GPS, no waypoints, and no comms are needed for aircraft to accomplish their missions.

Donald Trump in the closing weeks of his campaign, was all of a sudden courted by tech titans Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, Mark Zuckerberg and a few others. They all wanted in and no one knew exactly why. Shortly after Trump’s stunning win on November 5th, the drones started appearing in the skies over New Jersey. They have increased in frequency and duration since that time. Strangely, Elon Musk who loves all things sci-fi, created a rocket ship company bigger than NASA, built a town called Starbase in Texas, and wants to colonize Mars has had exactly ZERO interest in finding out anything about the drones, or even talking about them. Why? Because these drones are a test run, a practice run to launch the Hivemind. Whoever controls autonomous drones will control everything, and this is why the tech titans are all onboard with Trump. The Pandemic was Phase 1, this is Phase 2. Phase 3 will be implementation along the lines of Revelation 13. Got questions? Great, here’s some more answers.

We’re building Hivemind, our AI pilot, to enable swarms of drones and aircraft to operate autonomously without GPS, communications, or a pilot.

Now before you make up your mind about what I just said, did you know about HR 8610? There is a bill before Congress right now called the HR 8610 Counter-UAS Authority Security, Safety, and Reauthorization Act, and it is there to “reauthorize and reform counter-unmanned aircraft system authorities, to improve transparency, security, safety, and accountability related to such authorities, and for other purposes.” Isn’t that an amazing coincidence? I mean, what are the chances of that? Pretty good, as it turns out.

Listen to today’s explosive Podcast!

So is it possible that all the drones sightings over the past few weeks, more than 5,000, are because the American people are being used as guinea pigs in a massive experiment to bring in the Hivemind system. Not only is it possible, it is highly probable when you consider we were used as test subjects during the forced COVID vaccine injections from 2021 – 2023. (Well, I was not used in that way, but maybe you were as 230,637,348 Americans got the clot shot.) The tech titans who have attached themselves to the incoming Trump administration – Peter Thiel, Mark Zuckerberg, Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk – are in prime standing to not only launch the Hivemind, but everything else they’ve been working on in secret DARPA, Meta and X backroom experiments.

But since they say that a picture is worth 1,000 words, let me leave you with this. At the Army Navy football game attended by Donald Trump, JD Vance and Elon Musk, one of the main sponsors for their massive Jumbotron billboard was, you guess it, Palantir. You can see the screen capture at the top of this article, that’s not Photoshop. During that game, dystopian software company Palantir released this commercial that will tie the rag on the bush, and connect all the dots for you.

What does the Palantir commercial show you? Well, on the surface it purports to show you a massive cyber system protecting America from her enemies, but after you’ve watched it a few times, you see a little deeper into the release of bursts of drones, and then you know exactly what you’re looking at. The drone sightings over the past few weeks have been a real-time experiment to see how Americans will react to an aerial army patrolling the skies. Peter Thiel bought himself a VP in 2022, Elon Musk bought himself a Commander-in-chief in 2024, and Amazon’s Jeff Bezos, ChatGPT guru Sam Altman and Meta monster Mark Zuckerberg just paid for Trump’s inauguration. (“cue crypto replacing the dollar”) The tech titans have taken over, and that’s exactly what they have planned for us here on Day 1,736 of 15 Days To Flatten The Curve. Welcome to the Hivemind.
