OK, before I blow a blood pressure cuff on this issue, please keep in mind the warnings provided on these pages about DHS now starting to assemble lists of dissident citizens under the guise of domestic extremists. {Go Deep} Also remind yourself the same DHS and FBI are now using private contractors embedded in Big Tech to scour public information on social media and provide feedback to help DHS assemble those lists. {Go Deep}
Now, we take that foundation and build it one step further…. This well-written report about the recent Senate Armed Services Committee discussion with the National Security Agency (NSA) needs to be absorbed with the prior information as context. These paragraphs are alarming in the extreme (emphasis mine):
[…] “Several members of the Senate Armed Services Committee on Thursday voiced their support for expanded authorities for the NSA and U.S. Cyber Command to conduct more intelligence gathering domestically, something that the Biden administration already is exploring, according to Gen. Paul Nakasone, who leads both agencies.”
“Former NSA general counsel Glenn Gertstell has argued that an expansion of NSA authorities to collect domestic intelligence is overdue. “It can’t possibly be the case that the Fourth Amendment ties our hands in such a way that we just have to sit there and watch the Chinese romp through our infrastructure,” he told the Wall Street Journal in March. The Fourth Amendment protects against unreasonable searches and [NSA Director] Nakasone cited it as a key obstacle to potential expansion of the NSA’s powers domestically.” (read more)
The Fourth Amendment is an “obstacle“?…. WTF kind of outlook is that.
Despite their efforts, their ongoing efforts, to destroy what remaining privacy safeguards are in place…. I do not want to live in a nation that loses the fundamental protection of the Fourth Amendment: “The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.” (citation)
WAAAAAYYYYY back post 9/11 when they passed the ‘patriot act’ and established the TSA, DHS and the domestic spying programs in earnest, many people objected, saying it would be too easily politicized…
those who objected were laughed at as ‘conspiracy theorists’
guess who’s laughing now?
Ah, you surmise those who laughed have changed their minds. I suspect they are applauding these developments.
I’m very average in a lot of ways. Meaning a lot of people who think like me comprise the meaty part of The Bell Curve. And I used to scoff at people that warned about how easily the “Patriot Act” could be abused.
After all, it was encouraged by no less than George W. Bush, who was a good ole boy from West Texas. Why, he used to be in the oil bidness and stuff. Back in 2002, a lot of us thought “Dubya” was a conservative. He even talked with a Texas accent. What could be wrong with that? (or so we thought decades ago)
Fast forward to 2017, after we learn a few things about political generals. When we watched PDJT appoint retired generals to high place – and watch them back-stab PDJT, we learned just how politicized the top military brass has become.
Now we see some of the top military brass working as part of the deep state to inflict surveillance terror on citizens. It is an intel operation against Americans.
Now, I have a very low opinion of military top brass. Under the waves of Clinton-Bush-Obama and now “Biden’s handlers” the top brass are anti-American and pro-globalist.
Many generations of Americans grew up thinking highly of our real Generals – Patton, Washington, U.S. Grant, Omar Bradley, etc. Actual combat generals. Those men are all far in the past, long gone.
Now we are saddled with weaselly politicians wearing fruit salad. God help us if we get in a war against a peer opponent.
Our politicians and top brass have lost every war we’ve been in since victory over the Japanese Empire in August of 1945. At some point it catches up with us, and we all suffer.
I now agree completely we need to repeal the so-called “Patriot Act”, dissolve the eff bee eye and dissolve the dee oh jay. Same for the see eye eh. Those are not mentioned in The Constitution, instead they are mere agencies, that can be dissolved quite easily.
Let county sheriffs and state law enforcement handle most of those cases. For foreign intel, we just have to re-build something that respects our laws.
Agree 100% with ReglarMerican. It is true, under the Bush Administration there was at least an understanding that these new powers granted under the USA Patriot Act were highly susceptible to abuse and it was to be avoided. No such compunction under Obama; they gleefully took control of the government “like a shiny new toy” and immediately set about politicizing and weaponizing it. Far from abuses to be avoided, using the Patriot Act in this manner was its raison d’etre.
And now we come to the place where dissent from the party line is considered sedition, peaceful protest against the regime is considered insurrection, and the intelligence community has adopted the Obama Doctrine that the US Constitution is not to uphold and defend, but an obstacle to be overcome.
They are become domestic enemies of the Constitution.
Yes, Bush 43 may have “understood” this but his boss President Cheney was the hands-on guy who bludgeoned the system into exploiting that susceptibility. His actual quote forever immortalized on video was:
“George W. Bush, who was a good ole boy from West Texas.”
Point of order sir: The Bush family is from Connecticut.
His daddy was a carpetbagger.
“guess who’s laughing now?”
No Deplorables are laughing. Being proven correct in this case is not where we hoped to be.
It’s axiomatic, the more grandiose the name of the legislation the worse it is. “USA Patriot Act” is a perfect example, Congress used the excuse of 9/11 to ram through every bad intel community idea that had been rejected for decades.
And way back when income tax was first proposed it would never be over 1.5%. Is there a pattern here?
If the NSA is concerned about the Chinese “romping through our infrastructure”, why haven’t they spoken to to the CheatWare voting machines that are made in China and send results to Shenzhen for tabulation?
The Chinese own the Bidens–all of them. Proconsul Joe is poised to give them control of our power grid, for another example.
Go violate the Bidens’ Fourth Amendment rights first if you really want to stop China.
Methinks the NSA’s concern regarding “Chinese Romps” is what a “Known Person” is to the FBI:
An identified problem which is allowed to continue causing problems, in order to justify unnecessary solutions.
Need to solve the problem of terrorism? Don’t secure the borders, or even act on intelligence already in hand. Allow the mass shooting to happen and then push for increased gun control and social justice funding.
Need to solve foreign espionage? Don’t move vital production chains back to the US, increase vetting processing in sensitive sectors, or outright ban Chinese and other offending nation’s citizens from those sectors. Weaken or outright destroy the Fourth Amendment.
The agencies and the people who work for them don’t care about your rights or mine. They are more concerned about the feelings of foreign nationals than the rights of their fellow Americans.
Sundance asks what kid of outlook this is. It is one in which the government agencies and the people who work view those outside the government as expendable when weighed against their material and ideological objectives.
Swalwell is romping through a Chinese spy and that is not a problem either.
Oh wait, class society and justice. Gotcha.
“Also remind yourself the same DHS and FBI are now using private contractors…”
This is the tell.
Private Contractors will be the avenue of choice to violate our rights. Contractors will be the sharp end of the stick on gun confiscation.
Mark my words.
Gather intel in your local area to make yourself aware of Private LEO activity.
Private Contractors will be the avenue of choice to violate our rights. Contractors will be the sharp end of the stick on gun confiscation.
—–
If they’re not LE, then they’re thieves trying to steal your guns. Respond accordingly.
They have all the power as federal officers since they work under their badges.
Contractors cannot represent the Federal Government as they are not Federal Employees, nor can they make determinations for the government. Intelligence Oversight Laws prevent the military from collecting intelligence or spying on U.S. citizens. The NSA is a military organization.
These are great statements, but it’s all in the form of “X cannot do Y because Law Z says…”.
It’s very clear that these yahoos don’t give a rat’s behind about law. Or badges. Or anything.
If that seems cynical, I predicate my thesis on the developments from the Patriot Act forward, with the Plague and Great Burglary of 2020 being the setup for the biggest con and crime in American history.
That seems both cynical and accurate.
Yeah, and if someone would have told me The Donald would lose to an obvious senile Biden on November 3rd..I would have told them they were nuts. But he did. People need to re-think how it USE to be. Anything is possible now.
That’s the way it’s supposed to work . . . BUT . . . in fact, contractors representing the federal government have been spying on American citizens since at least 2016. As a five-year survivor of the heinous Targeted Individual program (they probably have another name for it), I can promise you that this has been going for at least that long. Many things that the government should never do have been done, are being done, and will be done. These thugs do not care about law, ethics, morality, or anything of the sort.
They don’t need no stinking badges. Sorry, but it needed saying.
I just did.
We don’t need no steenking badges.
This is why I have been opposed to the creation of Alphabet Agencies since the 70’s. They tend to spawn other agencies and sooner or later they become drunk with power. IF we ever get our country back,and IF we ever have a Congress and SCOTUS that adheres to the Constitution…there needs to be law (s) put in place: for every new federal agency created or spinoff thereof 2 current agencies must be abolished. Also, ALL existing agencies must have a sunset clause- none of this forever crap. Oh who am I kidding- this Government isnt worth reforming. Let’s just abolish the whole dung heap and start over.
Drunk w/power and forced to spend money if they want to keep their agency, even if they have enough money. If they don’t use it, they lose it, so therefore they continue to create new positions and departments so they can prove they need more money. It is sickening.
…and no politician can hire people and place them in FOREVER positions that cannot be dissolved overnight for whatever reason.
Now yer gettn’ it.
1st amendment- gone!
2nd amendment- going!
3rd amendment says no quartering of soldiers. Says nothing about forced quartering of illegal invaders.- coming soon!
4th amendment-gone!
5th amendment not necessary, the government acquires everything out there by paying with your tax dollars. Easier than a warrant. Or they just raid your attorneys office. Force disclosure of privileged communications.
The rights of the citizens are an illusion they don’t even teach in school anymore. Except protesting made easy.
President Donald Trump where are you sir?
We need you desperately ??????
He’s taking a little time off
He just gave us 4 frikkin years of his life
… under constant attack and at great detriment to him and his beloved family
…but …i bet he is ready come back finish his job…..
…come back……I wouldn’t recommend it until the Republicans get rid of McConnell and McCarthy and half the Rino Senators
McConnell already said he would not run again, but I am not sure when his term expires.
six years.
Yup. Cost him about $800 million to be president, about a fourth of his pre-Oval Office net worth. Plus New York prosecutors are trying to flip his business manager to “compose” (as Alan Dershowitz lies to say) against him. Very few heroes like Trump in recent American history.
Practicing dereliction of duty.
I feel sad for you and your twisted take on reality.
“…and watch the Chinese romp through our infrastructure.”
What exactly is the Progressive Left’s and Glenn Gertstell’s definition of infrastructure? The Left uses coded language designed to confuse, deflect but be multi-purposeful. Mayor Pete just the other day told us why he needs a new mileage tax to fund “a sustainable revenue source” to rebuild “the human infrastructure”. In one of the Campaign debates, Biden lectured Trump that China is our friend and they are not an enemy. So, which is it?
SD: “WTF kind of outlook is that.”
It’s the same worldview and ethic that is willing to brush aside every element of the rule of law, and especially Constitutional law, that was on display throughout the Obama years and in bright neon lights during the Great ‘lection Burglary.
That’s the kind of outlook it is.
They’ll sweep aside the Fourth, the rest of the Constitution and Bill of Rights…whatever it takes.
THEY will only sweep away that law that cannot be used in defence of themselves
You don’t get it…the Bill of Rights only pertain to them, or those blessed by them. For the rest of us nothing applies…
So I used to post comments on breitbart disqus forums. When I warned another poster about posting about his ammunition count and how folks who had done 2nd amendment protests at state capitols, open carrying and how they and their cellphones were most likely targeted by the FBI, BaTF and other alphabet soup agencies my post got “moderated”. In other words, they declared my post as false and possibly propaganda. It was “quarantined”. I deleted my Disqus account immediately and no longer trust Breitbart or Disqus. You should not as well.
Disqus can censor from a list of “no-no words”, depending on the web site list, that you might not even expect at all. On some, “Dick” will be censored, even though it is a common first name.
Lots of sites and comment sections use Disqus; not just Breitbart.
Which Senators
We are rapidly coming to the End of Words, and moving into the Reality of Actions. I have pontificated online and in person for about 10 years, and I’m done with it.
I require no more lectures, news, politicians, or historical references. Soon enough We will be at war, regrettably, unfortunately, reluctantly at first, but nevertheless war it will be as it always has been because Tyranny and Evil never rest.
We All Know this, now is the time to get the final preps done and await the call to arms. Don’t fret, It will be clear and loud enough for all to hear.
God Bless.
Charlotte Taylor Wilson: You don’t really believe the people are happy!
Don Diego: All I know is the soldiers are quite happy shooting the people who say the people are not happy.
Now I’m having trouble with my bowels.
My sentiments exactly! There will come a time of sifting those who talk and those that act. Now is the time to prepare physically, spiritually, emotionally and financially. I’m confident of my salvation, by the blood of my Master and thus, death is just a shadow
I stopped listening to the news all together. First time I have been on CTH in days. All you hear about is what they did, what they are doing, what they are about to do and what they are contemplating on doing. Nothing about what we can do, are doing, is happening. So why bother to listen? I am much less depressed. I give to the Donald only. I only give to people I know he endorses. That is all this 75 year old person can do at this point.
I read “…something that the Biden administration already is exploring…” as “…something that the Dhimmicrat Junta already is doing.”
Rush always said that the left views the Constitution as an obstacle to its political goals; Rush was right as usual.
He also said they want to eliminate elections…they just did.
Why is the 4th Amendment an obstacle? Article 2 of the Constitution didn’t stop swing State Governors from changing State voting laws instead of State legislators as required by the Constitution! The deep state, Lawfare and Democrats will find a way around the 4th Amendment like they did to change State voting laws to allow for fraudulent mail in ballots! Besides the corrupt Federal Judicial system will support whatever they want to circumvent the Constitution! God help us! Hosanna! !
The Democrats appear to feel that their cleverness in sniffing out and exploiting situations where legal remedies to stave off naked election tampering, Constitutionality being a sentimental luxury, are insufficient are, in fact their mandate, to screw the rest of us.
Isn’ t FISA already their way around the 4th.
Has been in the past! I’m sure with Chief Justice Robert’s overnight that won’t happen again!/s
At what point to the American citizens unite and fight back with force?
Good question. I believe they’re testing that right now, poking the bear with different instruments of pain to determine which one will provoke the desired response. Only mistake I see them making is focusing on a linear course of reactive response. When their appointment with God comes, it’ll come in unexpected ways like their -19 scourge came at us, not the usual and sundry guns and bombs stuff. If they count on that it’ll be their single most deadly miscalculation .
It will strike like lighting and crash with a thunder seldom heard in human existence…I have no pity for them..NO mercy.
I’ve wondered if I left the USA, where would I go for freedom?
Book a flight to Mars? Narnia? Or perhaps Gondor?
Yup – I keep telling people I want to move to ANOTHER PLANET, never mind another state.
When you break a bully’s nose, you instantly change his entire outlook on life.
You damn right! It will not take much to crush them. They are paper tigers who have been given full reign due to cowardice
They are so conceited that they never consider losing. No plan B.
Proof Positive with rejection of the Witch of Benghazi.
After they send up a trial balloon like this, you can bet your sweet ass they are already doing it.
So just throw the 4th Amendment on the fire with the 1st and 2nd Amendments.
The progressive Left in less than 70 days have all but trampled the First Amendment into the dirt, have its sights on eliminating the provisions of the Second Amendment by a far-reaching executive order, want to trash the Fourth Amendment to spy on its own citizens, refuse to discuss the crisis on the border by ignoring an unsustainable influx of adults and unaccompanied minors on the border, pass HR-1 which they hold will take away fair voting rights by rigging elections, have spent $4 trillion and have announced they want to spend $10 trillion more, quickly, make DC a state, levy a vehicle mileage tax and we are nowhere near the introduction of their carbon tax, which is coming. Yet, they have 5,000 National Guardsmen and barbed wire fences protecting them so they can conduct the economic destruction of the USA in secrecy. By design, Democracy is dying in darkness right before our eyes.
If this is not an insurrection, what the hell is?
Put these two together and it is plain to see that the US Gov are not planning on repealing the 2nd Amendment, they are simply going to take your guns by way of illegal search and seizure.
An interesting case to keep an eye is the SCOTUS case that will be heard on Wednesday Caniglia v. Strom, is a case that could have wide-ranging consequences for policing, due process, mental health, as well as the Fourth Amendment. Notably, as part of the case, the Biden Admin and attorneys from 9 states are calling on the court to uphold warrantless gun confiscation. If this goes through as what the Biden admin wants, and is pressuring the SCOTUS to rule in their favor on, then you can bet your bottom dollar that things will drastically go down hill from there. People better start waking up, this is part of their plan to make legal gun owners compliant little sheep under the veil of Tyranny. Its coming if this case goes in favor of the Marxists in control!
Let me be clear, I am not in favor of a armed conflict, but after reading this and really meditating and praying on this issue alone it seems that the country as a whole is certainly headed in that direction. With each day passing and reading more and more about what this Admin is doing, I finding myself praying more and more! Alot more! Stressed! Find peace in Jesus is what I am told, and I am trying.

they are shoving us over the edge. i don’t think they realize what will happen. i really don’t . the same blindness displayed by the DOJ/FIB for four years. could be that the shutdowns of our schools will be what wakes up the soccer moms and dads. they are watching their kids melt. mass uprising. and very quickly when it happens.
“they are simply going to take your guns by way of illegal search and seizure”
Except that, as per Caniglia v. Strom, those search and seizures will be made legal.
The plan is in place, the largest known unknown is HR.1. If it passes then the timeline for disarming the public gets relaxed as the USA becomes a one-party state and they can take their sweet time.
if HR.1 fails then the window narrow to the next two years and then things get spicy quickly.
The plan seems to be as follows, no rigid order but all elements to coalesce,
1) ‘Purge’ patriots from the armed forces, FBI and possibly local law enforcement. Anybody who would put the future of the country or the Constitution above their immediate orders must be removed.
2) Obtain bank records, social media, credit cards, postal delivery history, anything and everything that will enable the cabal to draw up a list of every gun owner, the guns that they likely own and how much ammunition they likely have. Prioritise them accordingly. Anybody who has not been dealing in cash from private sellers for thirty years gets on the list.
3) Gun control legislation, mandatory registration, ‘buy-back’, make ‘assault weapons’ and ‘large capacity magazines’ illegal.
4) Push the ‘domestic terrorist’ angle through the courts and the media to slur anybody in DC on Jan 6th. Dox them, pressure their boss, kids’ school, any possible wedge.
5) Social media to de-person anybody targeted, no possible recourse in the court of public opinion and very easy to ‘disappear’ people.
6) Media-friendly raids on selected targets, using massively overwhelming force, think Roger Stone. Media to be tipped off in advance and praise the govt for their actions.
7) Show trials
8) Repeal Posse Comitatus Act.
9) Enforced ‘voluntary’ surrender of firearms to law authorities.
10) A boot stamping on a human face – forever.
I can’t get even one “conservative” congressman to simply stand up and say that the entire premise of HR1, that the feds can usurp the constitutional right of the states to run elections, is UNCONSTITUTIONAL ON ITS FACE.
It’s very simple… No inferior level of statutory law may usurp or amend the Supreme Law of the Land.
Therefore, for any part of HR1 to be adopted, there must be FIRST a constitutional amendment to transfer the power of elections to the feds… FIRST.
2/3 of both houses of Congress, 3/4 of the states, in 7 years. And THEN, and only then, can HR1 be passed.
This is a simple point to make, and the necessity of a constitutional amendment must be NAMED.
Why is this so hard to understand? WHERE’S LYIN’ TED?
Opposition must be SILENCED!
Let me get this straight.
Building a future where the living envy the dead is a deliberate goal?
And questions are crimes?
Ecclesiastes.
There is nothing new under the sun
“and effects”
They have been spying and collecting data on all of us. The problem for them is to make it legal so they can enjoy it and in case someone like Trump even assumes power again they are on the clear.
Trump scared them to death.
I do Solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic.
When will this thing that’s called an oath no longer be required ?
It’s a coming and “That’s all folks”
SolarWinds Board Member Bought JD Power From Mysterious Chinese Company For $1.8 Billion Months Before Hack
“Most XIO employees knew little about where its funding came from. Some advisers to XIO received differing accounts.”
More connections between SolarWinds board members and China continue to emerge as the aftermath of the devastating SolarWinds hack continues to unfold.
SolarWinds director Seth Boro, a man who was instrumental in starting the private equity firm known as Thoma Bravo, “currently serves on the board of directors of several software and technology service companies in which certain investment funds advised by Thoma Bravo hold an investment,” according to his biography on the SolarWinds website.
In 2019, Thoma Bravo bought JD Power for $1.88 billion from XIO Group, a mysterious Chinese company based in Hong Kong.
“Thoma Bravo has agreed to purchase JD Power, a Delaware-based provider of data analytics and market research for dozens of industries, from China’s XIO Group, with Axios reporting a price of $1.88 billion. XIO bought JD Power for some $1.1 billion in 2016,” Pitchbook reported.

CHINA: SolarWinds Board Director ‘Led The Establishment’ Of $75 Billion Investment Firm Into China
SolarWinds, the major technology company that was recently victim to an unprecedented hack, shares a board member Kenneth Hao with Silver Lake. Hao was responsible for leading “the establishment” of the $75 billion private equity firm into China.
Kenneth Hao serves on the Board of Directors at SolarWinds. He also serves as the Managing Partner and Managing Director at Silver Lake.
According to his SolarWinds bio, “Hao has served on our board of directors since February 2016.” The biography also identifies Hao as the “Managing Partner and Managing Director of Silver Lake, which he joined in 2000.” This is reflected on Silver Lake’s website as well.

Who hired this Creepy Swamp Creature Paul Nakasone???
This sort of thing is exactly why President Trump needs to be re-elected so he can clean out these Swampy Creatures.
Yeah, he failed to do it the first time, what makes you think he can do it now? There is only one recourse for the current crisis: We the People. Nobody will do it for us.
A GOVERNMENT OF WOLVES: THE EMERGING AMERICAN POLICE STATE (AUTOGRAPHED)
As American historian and nationally syndicated columnist Nat Hentoff notes in his special introduction to A Government of Wolves: “We have been through some troubling times before in our nation’s history. What we have now may be more insidious. Indeed, I believe we are in a worse state now than ever before in this country. With the surveillance state closing in on us, we are fighting to keep our country free from our own government.”

Remember….these are not German Nazi’s or Russian or Chinese Communist’s here in USA….this is being done by your fellow Americans….in your cities, towns and states.
They’re not my fellows and they’re not Americans. I don’t care where they were born or how they identify. Liberals are culturally and mentally un-American.
Perhaps the Chinese wouldn’t be romping through our infrastructure if we held accountable politicians romping through Bejing expecting deals with percentages kicked up to the Big Guy.
Instead of holding accountable those doing billion dollar side deals with the commies, we must keep tabs on everything those John Q Mainstreet is doing in the off chance he rips a tag off his mattress.
One conclusion seems clear the ties to China over and over.
If you look up SolarWind’s 10K on the SEC website, EDGAR, you’ll find that the company was acquired in February 2016 by investment firms Silver Lake and Thoma Bravo. Then in 2018, the company went public through an Initial Public Offering (IPO):
According to Dr. Quigley on Twitter, “the buyout firm, [Thoma Bravo] who now owns SolarWinds was founded by a Puerto Rican billionaire who contributed over $100k to Clinton in 2016. His name is Orlando Bravo.”
Thoma Bravo also purchased DigiCert in 2015. DigiCert and Entrust verify the elections for at least half of the states in the US. Entrust is also closely related to a firm by the name of ‘Live Ramp’ which is located in Shanghai.

I would think that changing one’s voter registration to Independent, might reduce the number of potential individuals we’re talkin’ here.
I loathe having to say this, but what we are looking at, are we not, is the utter failure and collapse of the MAGA movement. If what we are witnessing before our very eyes is true, then in no part of government including military, intelligence, judicial and justice, did MAGA take root long enough to survive or not be easily washed away by The Coup. The speed of this transformation from A: the Swamp being drained and MAGA ascendent to B: the Swamp in total dictatorial control, has been breathtaking. No use pretending otherwise.
The MAGA movement did not take root as it should. What happened was too many people became ardent cheerleaders of President Trump and looked to him to do everything
The oligarchs have been in control for decades. The tools they are using have been in place for decades. They are merely removing the lie that you were ever free. Been trying to wake people up for decades but only now at the end to you all understand…
Exactly the truth…the Constitution has been under assault for over 100 years…the long march of the elites. We are just seeing the illusion of freedom to keep us lulled asleep.
I imagine NSA is approaching this from the perspective of, “The Fourth Amendment doesn’t stop the police from entering premises in pursuit of a suspect, so why does it have to stop us from gathering/using domestic intelligence in pursuit of foreign espionage?”
This is actually a somewhat valid position, which arguably makes it more dangerous – it’s easier to push through rules or laws for a “good reason” which can then be abused. (Patriot Act has been mentioned, for example.) American readers should hassle their congress-people to make sure that any laws passed about this have VERY strict rules. (EG, if allowed at all, domestic info can only be used for cyber-defence purposes – since that is their stated goal – and ANY evidence collected regarding domestic matters is inadmissible in court or for any other investigative purpose. Then see who objects, and you’ll know who’s lying about their stated purpose…)
The Obama administration set precedence for totally ignoring the laws existing for such purposes. Why would new ones be enforced?
The Constitution clearly puts limitations on government.
And yet, here we are.
FDR got rid of the limitations in the 1930’s. We went from the Founder’s constitution (liberal democracy) to the New Deal constitution (social democracy). As a result, we have uncontrolled spending and explosion of lobbyists.
Wake up buddy… The federal government is a criminal cartel. Do you even remember the bundy ranchers? The feds just keep coming back… There is a solution but Americans lack the conviction and our enemies know it.
I’m not aware of any 4th Amendment restrictions that prevent US Intelligence and counterintelligence from surveilling and taking action against foreign spies and hostile agents penetrating US digital infrastructure.
Sounds like a pretext for what they really want to do, IMO.
Time for term limits, Remove all RIONS, this is ACUP- the American Communist UNi Party time to remove all of them.
Oh goody…more corruption.

… and with our military swearing fealty to the democrats, making them today’s version of hitler’s SS, I see the rounding up of Americans to concentration camps.
We need LEADERS, we need them in every department and sector of the Gov’t, we need them in every Dist. by the Rep. every State, by the Senator, and they need to lead everyday in every way. They need to stand up and oppose loudly what is being discussed here – the usurpation of our rights under the Constitution. We had our Trump, but he is away now, what passes for leaders these days are wimps who whine over and over for money, it is money that will solve ALL of the problems, NOT. Until they get their heads out of their wallets, and back on actually caring about what is happening in their country, we are going to have to insist over and over that they LEAD, or no money. We all need to lead in whatever way we can. Dems are afraid that we will learn this and actually get LEADERS, they don’t think we will find any.
They don’t need to violate our rights to spy on China. China is everywhere openly spying. You can literally stubble over them. Toss a rock in San Francisco, our Dianne Feinstein’s office and you will hit a couple.
