This Surveillance Tech Is Scarier Than Flock

0:00 Your security camera isn't merely a camera anymore. Neither is the camera overlooking a parking garage, storefront, hotel, hallway, or office. Every insecure network connected sensor potentially becomes another node in an intelligence collection system.

0:48 TOA. You might be asking me what TOA is. You may have never heard of TOA before. Let's just let's just learn about it. Let's just learn about it together because I know a little bit but I don't know a lot. Okay. TOA is an Israeli cyber intelligence company backed by Mark Andre uh of Andre and Horowits that sells its technology exclusively to governments, militaries, intelligence agencies, and law enforcement. Leaked internal documents revealed Toka's technology can reportedly locate cameras, remotely access them, watch live feeds, and even alter live or previously recorded footage while concealing evidence the system was compromised. Yes, they can alter live or previously

1:34 recorded footage while concealing evidence the system was compromised. Did you get that? This Israeli company can literally hijack these the remotely access, hijack the cameras, watch live feeds, and even alter live or previously recorded footage without any trace of there had been any manipulation of the footage. This is truly dystopian. This is the tool of the post-truth world. The truth will be whatever we want it to be. I [clears throat] wonder where the ability could come in handy. The stated purpose for altering footage masking of

2:19 onsite activities during covert operations. In other words, imagine an intelligence team conducting an operation inside a hotel or perhaps a college campus covered in security cameras. Instead of disabling the cameras, they can allegedly compromise them, alter what they record, and leave behind footage that doesn't show what actually happened. Toa calls this new world frictionless surveillance. Nothing concerning about the intelligence agencies possessing the ability to secretly rewrite the video evidence of their own operations. How does that work? With this existing in any way, shape, or form, all camera

3:05 footage of crimes cannot be admissible in court. I I just I just see no way that the justice system can allow this. If this exists, which it does, I think this literally this literally throws that notion out the window. But wait, there's more. Tokco was founded in Israel in 2017 by people who knew the intelligence business rather well. Among them, former Israeli Prime Minister Ahoud Barack. Oh wow, an And Brigadier General Yarn Rosen, formerly head of the IDF cyber staff. This isn't exactly three guys building an app in a garage. It's nice to know that they

3:50 could do this since 2017, isn't it? Yeah. Did you know that this stuff has existed since 17 this technology has been out there at least since it's it's maybe have been out even longer and with commercial AI they're probably light years ahead of whatever we're going to find out today 2018 to emerged from relative obscurity with 12.5 million in seed funding that round was led by Mark Andre of Andre Horowits there they are again other early investors include Dell Technologies Capital, Entree Capital, and Launch Capital. Dell, you remember like last year when the owner of Dell and his wife who looked like an alien

4:35 went to the White House? That's Dell. Mark Andre. What else has Mark Andre invested in? He's invested in Flock. He's invested in Axen. He invested in TOA among many many many other things. So yeah, pretty company if you ask me. [snorts] Today its investor list includes Indorowits, Eclipse, Entree Capital, Dell Technologies, Capri Ventures, Upfront Ventures. Toka says these are the best in the business. Apparently the business is turning the internet of things into an intelligence network. Well, let's be honest. the internet of things. If you don't know what that means, it literally means, you know, how everything is smart now, your

5:21 toaster, your refrigerator, your toothbrush, everything is smart. That is the internet of things, otherwise known as the internet of everything. The connection of everything that you interact with. TOA isn't selling antivirus software to your dentist. The company explicitly says it only works with militaries, homeland security, intelligence agencies, and law enforcement in the United States and allied countries. Keep that distinction in mind. So, what exactly are these government customers buying? In 2022, RATS obtained internal TA documents and had them reviewed by a technical expert. What they revealed sounded less like

6:07 cyber security and more like something from a dystopian television show. According to the documents, TOA's technology could locate internet connected security cameras and webcams within a specified area, then penetrate them. Meaning a camera didn't necessarily have to belong to the government for it to become a government intelligence source. And here's an article that explains all of that. That means that this camera here that I'm using to talk to you could 100% be run by TOA and giving everything even when the camera's not on and giving that information to whoever Israeli

6:52 government our government our military whoever and I would never know because they built it that way so that it leaves no trace. It's some serious hacker And it seems like it totally works outside the bounds of the law or the Fourth Amendment or anything that provides you sovereignty and protection and literally safety. What else has cameras? These things. These little things. These things that you always have on you. Always have a camera pointed at your face. Once inside, operators could reportedly locate cameras, access them remotely,

7:39 watch live feeds, access archived footage, which is already fairly insane. But then we arrive at the feature that should make every defense attorney on Earth sit upright. TOA's internal documents reportedly claimed operators could m manipulate both live video and previously recorded footage. Again, the technology was also reportedly designed to conceal evidence that the camera had been compromised. You can't know. You literally cannot know if your camera has been compromised by this company. You can't know. A government intelligence tool designed not merely to watch surveillance footage, but potentially alter the record of what happened. Why

8:25 would an intelligence agency possibly need that? Why would Israel need that? Why does Israel always have this type of technology? They're the size of New Jersey. They are the size of New Jersey. It has like the same population as the county I live in. And yet, they're at the forefront of all the surveillance tech. And then all of the surveillance tech that's coming in to the United States and they're all connected to unit 8200 and all of these Zionist tech transhumanist weirdos. Again, let's imagine an intelligence team conducting an

9:11 operation inside a hotel or perhaps a college campus. lobby cameras, elevator cameras, hallway cameras, parking garage cameras. Every movement potentially creates an evidentiary trail showing who was there, what they did, when they arrived, and when they left. What's been super viral this week? all of these alleged videos of Tyler Robinson walking around different garages. I'm sure I'm absolutely sure that Toa has absolutely nothing whatsoever to do

9:57 with that. I mean, that would be crazy to even suggest that all of that footage going around was 100% in toa. Seriously. But what do I know? I'm just an angry spicy dude talking to 10 people on the internet. The hell do I know? The old solution is to avoid the cameras or disable them. But a dead camera is itself evidence. A much better solution would be a camera that appears to have worked perfectly while simply failing to record the thing that you don't want anyone to see. How convenient. Now, imagine possessing the ability to quietly rewrite the surveillance trail.

10:44 This isn't merely surveillance. It's potentially counter surveillance through control of the surveillance infrastructure itself. You don't hide from the cameras. You take control of the cameras and potentially decide what the cameras remember. That's the significance of TOA. Surveillance footage is routinely treated as evidence. Criminal prosecutions, police mis misconduct investigations, civil lawsuits, investigations, intelligence operations now introduce technology specifically capable of manipulating the underlying footage while attempting to conceal the intrusion. Do you see the problem? Its own current marketing describes providing governments with

11:29 signal intelligence and access capabilities. It advertises intelligence collection through connected devices and reducing reliance on traditional human and airborne surveillance. This is from their website. Let's check out their website. Oh, isn't that sweet? Actually, it's really that's actually nice. As a guy who builds websites, that's actually really nice. But, you know, them. It's a nice landing page. Oh, look at these people. Look at these people. Every single one of them a greatest ally. For sure. For sure. They are an Israeli company. So, it's like statistically pretty sure. Toga calls one concept particularly revealing. frictionless surveillance,

12:16 which may be the most Silicon Valley phrase ever invented for the target doesn't know we're inside their devices. And the technology isn't confined to cameras. Reporting and company materials have described exploiting the broader internet of things. The basic concept is profound. The billions of network connected devices surrounding modern human beings can potentially become intelligence sensors. Your security camera isn't merely a camera anymore. Neither is the camera overlooking a parking garage, storefront, hotel, hallway, or office. Every insecure network connected sensor potentially becomes another node in an intelligence collection system. No installation of

13:02 government hardware required. This is this is like worse than what I thought worst case scenario was. And I knew some about TOA, but I didn't know all of this. Uh, shout out Champagne Joshy Josh Walcos at Josh Walcos on X for putting this together. Thank you for putting this together and putting this out there. Crunch reported that Andre Harowitz's co-founder Ben Harowitz had attempted to donate money to the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department to purchase TOA software. According to TOA, Las Vegas didn't accept the offer. yeah. yeah. Let's remember that that town was built on crime. Okay, that

13:51 town was built on crime. So, they're not down for it. I I love that. Think about that arrangement for a moment. The billionaire whose venture capital firm invested in the surveillance company reportedly tried to give a police department money to purchase that company's surveillance technology. Nothing says organic market demand quite like financing your customers purchase. You got to ask the question, how many municipalities did they make that offer to and how many of them accepted? We may not ever know. We may not ever know. Uh, Techrunch had also reported that Herets had previously found Toko was seeking work with US special forces and an unnamed American

14:36 intelligence agency. At the time, exactly how far TOA had penetrated the American government remained unclear. In February 2026, TOA announced that it serves customers in 13 countries, including the United States. The company also announced it had officially transitioned into a US-based company, its headquarters, Colombia, Maryland. TOA reported more than 60% year-over-year growth during the year of 2025. Its new CEO, Greg Smith, had spent decades building cyber security and technology companies serving US government and allied agencies. TOA says more agencies are adopting its platform. Then in April 2026, TOA provided another interesting description of what it has

15:22 built. It's called the technology theater proven and it said it was se it was seeing increased usage and strategic adoption. Its customers included intelligence agents units and raw law enforcement agencies. The company's latest platform can also integrate information across proprietary tools, customer databases, thirdparty ecosystems, and AI platforms. Essentially, so essentially this can be in anything and everything and I'm pretty sure this is being used everywhere. The company latest platform can also integrate information across proprietary tools, customer database, thirdparty ecosystem, and AI platforms. In other words, camera IoT information

16:07 or or um internet of things intelligence doesn't necessarily remain an isolated feed. It can become another input into a larger intelligence architecture. And here is the part I find particularly interesting. Remember who founded TOA? Andre Horowits. Now remember another company we've been discussing recently, Flock Safety. Adre Horowitz is a major investor there too. Flock and TOA are not the same company and I have found no evidence that their systems are integrated. But consider the investment thesis. One company helps build enormous searchable networks of physical world surveillance sensors. The other specializes in turning IoT, Internet of Thing devices into government

16:53 intelligence sources. Interesting portfolio. This is the larger story people are missing. America's surveillance state doesn't necessarily need to look like China's. It doesn't require one enormous government database with Ministry of Surveillance written on the building. That would almost be refreshingly honest. Instead, different private companies can provide different pieces. cameras, license plate readers, drones, facial recognition, phone location intelligence, data brokers, AI analytics, IoT exploitation, and government agencies simply purchase access to the capabilities they need. Which brings us back to TOA. A company founded by a former Israeli prime

17:39 minister and former IDF cyber chief financed by some of America's most powerful venture capitalists sells intelligence technology exclusive to governments and security agencies. And American agencies are now customers. Yet, we still don't publicly know which American agencies are customers. I can definitely tell you that that is true because I've done some digging and I cannot find who actually uses this technology, not just in the intelligence space, but at the municipality level. Those are not minor details which one of the companies reported capabilities involving manipulating the very surveillance footage that could someday become evidence. How can we be asked to

18:25 believe our eyes when we know that covert technology exists purchased by our own governments that could be used to cover up crimes by literally altering security footage? who was super chummy with Ahoo Barack and Peter Thiel and Mark Andre and all of these other and was also a transhumanist and also ran the most prolific child sex ring ever in history, Jeffy Eppy. And this company had existed and probably was well well well into development far before Jeffrey Epstein ever went to

19:10 prison and died. Wink wink got frozen. Am I Am I crazy here? Champagne Jossi Josh Walcos. Okay, great job on this. This is craziness and this is just one piece. So yeah, I think this is really messed up. I think this is really messed up. I think that if we know that this exists, we know that the the government is using this technology. We we know that it's being used in this country and like 18 other countries, I think it said or something. We're not fighting the surveillance state that's coming. Okay. I think people have this misunderstood. The surveillance state is

19:56 here. There's 120,000 flock cameras. That's just one company. 120,000 in the United States. And people think that that just like popped up overnight. No, they've been popping these out since like 2018. There's probably a lot more out there than 120,000. But let's say that's the real number of Flock. How many other companies are out there? How many other products? Those are just Flock ALPRs. Flock has other products. They have a drone. They have other things. Axen has multiple products. Motorola has multiple products. There's different layers to the surveillance state, right? So like your flocks and your Motoras and your

20:41 Axons and stuff, those are the collectors. They're the feeder. They're the cameras, the systems that gather all of the data. And then those go to the aggregators. That'd be your oracles and your palunteers, right? The databases, the aggregators making sense of the information that the vast amounts of information that's being given. And TOA sits in between those two layers, basically doing one big man-in-the-middle attack between the two. Really messed up situation that we find ourselves in. I actually don't know if it's too late. I'm still going to fight against it as if it's not. It may

21:28 very well be too late. I mean, just look around us. We're fighting the data centers. There's 5,300 data centers in this country. The next country with the most has 10% of that. We have 10xed the second largest data center country in the world. And now we're fighting against them. And we're not winning against the data centers because we're winning against the data centers. They're running out of the materials needed to make all of the data centers. They've actually expanded this too quickly that they kind of can't right now. So yeah, I I think that our best bet is the political solution that reminds our

22:14 politicians or instills the politicians that remember the fourth amendment, the first amendment, the founding documents, the things that make America America. I I just believe that if if we just if we just keep following the founding documents and we only make amendments to account for the technologies of the world that we live in so long as we are still accounting for those technologies but acting in the exact framework of the founding documents. I think if we just do that we leave nothing to interpretation. I think if we did that and we had politicians that

23:01 remembered who the we are and they go out and they act accordingly. Give me 500 Thomas Massies up there or however many people are in government and I think we can do something here. You know, put pressure on the the Supreme Court. They seem to be the only ones that can ever get anything done. But it's got to get to the Supreme
