Chris Larsen, cofounder of Ripple who just sold $250million of XRP last week, upgrading SFPD surveillance grid.
The net is closing fast it seems...
San Francisco Mayor Daniel Lurie announced Thursday a $9.4 million donation from a crypto billionaire to upgrade the police department's surveillance technology, including a new Real-Time Investigation Center (RTIC).
According to the mayor's office, the donation comes from Chris Larsen, co-founder of Ripple. With the money, the center will move from its current location at the Hall of Justice to a vacant office in the Financial District.
"It gives the team room to grow and ensures they're fully operational in a crisis. And it puts them right in the heart of downtown, where they can best serve every neighborhood across San Francisco," Lurie said at a press briefing Thursday morning.
Larsen said in a statement, "We are proud to help usher in a new era of accountability with the launch of an enhanced Real-Time Investigation Center for SFPD and law enforcement partners that matches San Francisco's reputation as the innovation capital of the world."
Also known as RTIC, the center brings together live data from drones, surveillance cameras and automated license plate readers, providing first responders with real-time information.
Lurie said the center has helped with more than 500 arrests and prevented numerous police pursuits since its launch in March 2024, including 32 arrests in the past week.
"This is the beginning of a new era of policing in San Francisco," said police chief Bill Scott, who is soon leaving the department to lead the Los Angeles Metropolitan Transit Authority police. "Our hard-working officers can continue to drive crime down by identifying and arresting offenders as quickly as possible."
UPDATE: Fox News is now reporting that a former midshipman is responsible for the shooting, though a name has not yet been released. An unnamed official stated that the shooter is "knocking on doors posing as an MP (military policeman)" and is shooting victims.
Tonight, in Epping, the police have arrested local children who are protesting against the courts decision with their families.
BREAKING: Room goes SILENT as an emotional RFK Jr. reveals the latest numbers on chronic disease.
THIS is why he’s cleaning house.
“This morning, I got the latest numbers from the CDC that 76.4% of Americans now have a chronic disease. This is stunning. When my uncle was President, it was 11%. In 1950, it was 3%... That’s why we have to fire people at CDC. They DID NOT do their job. This was THEIR JOB to keep us healthy. I need to fire some of those people to make sure this doesn’t happen again.”

The contrast between these two groups is not accidental but fits into a long tradition of subversive tactics. The United States itself, through the CIA and other channels, has run coups, color revolutions, and destabilization campaigns abroad by exploiting divisions and polarizing societies. Today, similar strategies are at work domestically. The “beards and glasses” demographic (men with jobs, families, and responsibilities) are not weaponized, they value merit and stability, which restrains them from reckless action. In contrast, the “blue-haired nose ringers” are fed a steady diet of grievance and victimhood rhetoric online, priming them over the past two decades to be easily provoked into kinetic activity. The dynamic is deliberate: one group anchored in responsibility, the other conditioned for agitation.
Charlie Kirk Shooter Update: As of September 11, 2025, 10am EST, the Charlie Kirk shooting suspect remains at large, and no one is currently in custody. Authorities believe the attack was targeted, with a single shot fired from a rooftop, specifically from the Losee Center, approximately 150-200 yards away from where Kirk was speaking. The weapon, identified as a high-powered bolt-action rifle, was recovered in a wooded area near the campus, along with a footwear impression, a paw print, and a forearm imprint. Security camera footage shows the suspect, described as wearing dark clothing and appearing to be of college age, arriving on campus at 11:52 a.m. local time, moving through stairwells to the roof, and fleeing into a nearby neighborhood after the shooting. The FBI has received over 130 tips and set up an online form to collect further information, but the suspect’s identity and motive remain unclear.
Two individuals were detained shortly after the incident but were released ...
While the media and social platforms bicker over the murder and assassination of Charlie Kirk, the United States is now in a vulnerable position. This is a prime moment for adversarial nations such as Iran, China, and Russia to push further unrest, division, and destabilization. Expect to see an increase in rhetoric designed for that purpose. (Remember these nations employee many bots/artificial intelligence to saturate social media with an agenda or to direct opinion ) Use logic and place this event in the broader geopolitical and economic context. Any asset that can be leveraged against a rival nation will be used. So while people fight each other online, understand that this emotional state is valuable to our enemies and will be exploited.
