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)
Do you think the FBI or DHS are on top of this?

#Antifa are urging their comrades from all over to descend on the Oregon state Capitol on Sunday, 28 March. #AntifaRiots
They’re just exchanging ideas.
I’m sure it’s all by the book.
And do you know who was Alinsky’s Community Organizer mentor? Hint: its why they all lived in Chicago…
I like it . eating their own and making it hard for dc left to keep denying they are a terror org .
hope right is smart enough not to step into another fed ambush
if right is going to make a showing – do it else where, more prominent if possible
So we descend on Martha’s. Vineyard and push our agenda..
Question: So what are the significant differences between Chines state security surveillance and America’s? Answer: Not much at all.
If they were met with devastating force as soon as they started their bullshit, the others would get the message
We all knew this was coming and with The NY Times reporting that the CDC is gonna declare “gun violence” an epidemic there goes the 2nd A.
So whats the number up to now with the Bill of Rights being trampled? We are losing 3 total. 1st, 2nd and now 4th.
The thing is, “gun violence” is a race specific epidemic in that it turns only young black men into killers. Well, some Hispanics, but almost exclusively young black men. Search for the collage of the photos of all the shooters in multiple shooting events in 2021. Almost all are black. Must be something in the water.
Found it. oops, it was 2019 and 2020. Click on them and blow them up. Mass shootings, a black epidemic.
all gang shooting are ommitted from public consumption so the community still allows them into their homes.
The Democommunists (i.e. Democrats back in the day) incentivised the destruction of the black family through welfare policies. When the “well meaning” went wrong they did not seek corrective action because they began seeing the benefit of “keeping them on the plantation” as perpetual D voters. Now that anti-family lifestyle is embedded in the culture (check out BLM’s positions on the traditional family). Pretending that the traditional family isn’t ” black” is a cover up for the huge failure of what the white liberal Democrats created.
Now some new packaging and marketing is needed to keep things going. A manufactured level of racial divisiveness and to go along with old fashioned welfare, new welfare “reparations”. As a bonus the message is becoming that no black can commit a crime or should be in prison because white supremacy or something.
It actually may be much worse than that. Someone, I think back in the 90’s, in an attempt to compile historical data to support the assertion that the Great Society destroyed black families, in fact discovered that the high black illegitimacy rates everyone was fretting about (35% illegitimacy as I recall) were in fact historically high and had remained unchanged all the way back at least to the 1920’s. The conclusion was that there was something else at work.
My theory is that there are cultural remnants that trace back to Africa, not to slave culture but to African cultures, and that neither slaves nor their descendants were ever fully assimilated into Americanized Western European culture.
Some cultures simply don’t assimilate well, some traits despite their destructiveness persist against reason and self-interest.
My own experience with the Dark Continent suggest your theory has merit.
Nonsense trapper. Show your sources from credible news outlets. Thanks, J.C.
Look up the DOJ and FBI ‘Color of Crime’ stats. It supports Trapper 100%.
Look up the federal crime stats. Blacks are 13% of the population yet commit 58% of the murders. We cannot even begin to address a problem until we quantify and identify it.
It’s not a race problem. It’s a mental illness problem. LGBTQWERTY single mothers and no fathers makes for criminal and violently borderline confrontational behaviors.
Most gun deaths are from suicide. Most suicides are the result of clinical depression. We have an epidemic of clinical depression.
The LA Times is a pinko paper. I should be used to line bird cages or wrap up dead fish before disposal.
CDC says that racism is the real health crisis. Lol

Don’t forget the 10th. States’ rights are becoming a quaint relic of the past.
Repeal the incorporation doctrine.
Re “Don’t forget the 10th. States’ rights are becoming a quaint relic of the past.”
States’ rights became a quaint relic of the past when Lincoln decided to invade the Confederate States of America for the purpose of forcing them to remain a part of the Union.
Mr. Lincoln helped create and enabled the oligarchs of his day. His weakness allowed big government control to be consolidated by greedy evil bastards. The crooked banksters railroad and steel magnates manufacturing kingpins and land speculators of that day all had a hand in his control. War with the South was good for business. Mr. Lincoln was all too ready and willing to sell out the Constitution to stay in power. His duplicity and weakness played a major part in where we find ourselves today as a country.
I agree 100%.
It’s a garbage propaganda piece. Softening the battlefield. Truth is they’re already doing it and have been for quite some time. They’re just tired of having to hide it.
Less than 2% of the aggregate population, the criminal LGBTQWERTY, have neither the balls nor the numbers to unilaterally abrogate the COTUS/BOR after 70 years in political power. All they can do is gaslight you.
They are not even trying to hide their motives anymore, are they? Wonder at what point the sheep will wake up and realize that they are being led to slaughter? Sadly, most will walk willingly into the chute, happily “baaaaaa-ing” all the way!
They’ll be looking down at their phones as they lumber forward, playing video games or something equally productive.
I’ll stop short of calling this news jaw-dropping but man, I feel a bit floored. I guess I just need to learn to take these daily gut punches while trying to keep my anger on ice. The most challenging time of my life, it seems, lays ahead.
I read the article you referenced Sundance… they’re trying to capitalize on fear (imagine that) and bring up the Solarwinds hack again. I wish I knew what really went on there. I’m definitely wary of Nakasone… he’s being praised by democrats for his job in securing the 2020 election.
As a reminder for those that may not know, Chris Krebs (fired from CISA by President Trump after the “most secure election ever”) and Alex Stamos (of Facebook, Yahoo, Zoom, and Stanford Internet Observatory fame) formed a cybersecurity company that was quickly hired by Solarwinds to help “advise” them through this difficult time.
https://techcrunch.com/2021/01/08/chris-krebs-and-alex-stamos-have-started-a-cyber-consulting-firm/
Krebs was on Knights’ Watch when the Solarwinds attack happened and we know that the Treasury, State, and Department of Energy were all compromised and who knows how many else. I believe there were somewhere around 18,000 clients that had the bad code, including my workplace (though I was told “we weren’t the kind of target they were looking for” when talking to State and cybersecurity experts).
https://www.zdnet.com/article/sec-filings-solarwinds-says-18000-customers-are-impacted-by-recent-hack/
Wondering if that Nashville explosion on Christmas Day was related (maybe not, but still a very suspicious event in my mind).
I’m going to holler at my Senators offices tomorrow. It may make no difference but I’m going to give them my opinion on this anyway. When I look at the membership of the Senate Armed Services Committee, it doesn’t make me hopeful:
https://www.armed-services.senate.gov/about/members
Dick Blumenthal, Crazy Hirono, Kaine, Pocahontas, Manchin, Duckworth… “conservatives” like Cotton, Tillis, Sullivan, and Rick Scott? Oh boy.
everyone need to dump their smart phone. and social media
The only phone I’ve had for the past 5 or 6 years only answers calls or sends them.NO INTERNET CONNECTIVITY at all.And I only use it when I’m out in the car.I see NO other reason to carry it around the home at all,not like I see most people do every day.Very strange how people get really upset if they miss a call.
Wondering if that Nashville explosion on Christmas Day was related (maybe not, but still a very suspicious event in my mind). ‘
The Nashville Christmas day explosion has a few aspects that are mighty suspicious.
There was nothing left of the RV recognizable as a piece of an RV. The explosion was powerful enough to punch through a reinforced blast-resistant wall. Why no crater then? If the answer is “it was probably designed to direct most of the blast horizontally”, then why no drivetrain parts on the street? This was a commercial V8 chassis, cast iron block and rear end, where did those massive iron parts go? And don’t forget the video said to be from a surveillance cam that showed an inbound smoke plume a few seconds before the explosion plume, as might occur with a missile strike. (I reran it at 0.25x, it was clearly inbound.) Finally, there were multiple surveillance cams going on the street, why has the FBI not released video of the RV being parked? If it was truly the lone nut blowing himself up as the FBI says, why not release this video supporting this “narrative” – could it be because the video would actually show someone else parking the RV and walking away?
What would you classify as “waking up”? Anything beyond realizing you’re in the boiling pot and complaining about it?
Something as simple as half the population simply refusing to wear their stupid, useless masks would be a huge step forward, IMHO! I do not wear one to my local grocery store – never have – and I am usually the only one in the whole store who isn’t, even though management have never said a word to me about needing to wear one. It’s not a big scary thing but almost everyone is absolutely terrified to even do that!!
I don’t wear a mask either. Lot of people don’t wear them in the stores where I live.
I think masks are harmful to the wearer. I won’t wear a muzzle and nobody is going to force me to.
When they are in breadlines.
And even then, many will still blame everyone else! Especially those horrible conservatives who warned them that it would happen!!
So true. It’s like how Christians are getting blamed for all of the ills of society now. History seems to repeat. Christians were blamed and persecuted by the oligarchs as Rome declined. The Lord Himself was unjustly executed for daring to admonish the powers that be for their folly. The Conservative Christian is rapidly becoming an enemy of the state. A state that seeks total control. Want to see what’s coming? Maybe a little research on Christian persecution will shed some light on where we as humanity are headed.
I don’t want to live in a place that has already destroyed the first Amendment, is working on the 2nd, and now needs to get rid of the 4th. What Constitution or bill of rights ? All seem to be obstacles now.
And who will stand up for the Bill of Rights? SCOTUS?
You’re now on your own. With your property line in plain view.
Plan accordingly.
Pray up your border. Read scripture as you walk your property boundary. If you live in a small town, spend a nice spring day doing this on your town boundary. Get another person or a couple of friends to come along.
Patriot Nurse on YouTube has an excellent channel there, in this video she explains:
That is funny in a sickening sort of way.
And this is in the first 100 days!!
Welcome to Commies ‘R’ Us.
60 days – they havent even got started yet with the real plan.
Still got the 3rd Amendment to keep His Majesty’s red coats from taking up quarters in our homes. If Prince Harry decides to invade then that SOB will have to pitch a tent.
That good for the people and bad for our minders.
Upholding the Fourth Amendment, and staying safe from Chinese, are not mutually exclusive because investigations for criminal acts are fundamentally different from investigations for national security.
This is simply an attempt to conflate the two to get people to give up their rights from unreasonable criminal investigations.
When reading the article, I felt simple and stupid… I couldn’t make the leap to ditching the Fourth Amendment so we could take on the Chinese. If it’s a civilian, and they want to know what’s what, why don’t they just use the tried and true FISA method of spying on folks? It’s not like they can’t just manufacture the warrants, amiright?
You’re looking at a coordinated attempt to push you into becoming afraid of the Chinese. Give us whatever we want, and we will keep you safe from the Chinese.
Now, why continue to accelerate their complete takeover of the government? Time is running out on something?
“China is going to eat our lunch? Come on, man.”
China can try. But, we have not been purchased.
Bingo!! The loss of rights is always couched in terms of “keeping you safe” which is why so many people willingly go along with whatever is being proposed. They do not understand (because history is no longer being taught) that the very people who want to take away your rights are far more dangerous to your life and liberty than any supposed “crisis” they are utilizing in order to keep you afraid!
I’m telling you, the time for serious secession talk is here.
I’m with you, I live in CA, Break the state from Fresno north for lefties, and from Fresno south for those who believe in the United States Constitution and The Bill of rights.
I wonder if states will begin to understand that they are sovereign entities and begin to push back? I am praying so and will continue to encourage our legislative leaders here in North Carolina. May the Lord bless us each one.
Oh Texas where art thou.
Start the expelling of federal agents tomorrow.
we are trained to follow our politicians. so if you usurp the politicians with your puppets then you control the trained people.
no bravehearts here. and we are being warned they are looking for one.
The federal government has been using tax/borrow-and-spend to get the states to go along for many years.
The $1.9T covid bill just poured hundreds of billions on the states, with strings attached. What state will say “no thanks, we want to stay independent”? Especially now that the covid-1984 worsened fiscal distress for many.
The covid-1984 looks more and more like a part of The Big Plan. Ousting Trump was just a small but necessary step in the Plan, with election fraud enabled by the arbitrary psuedoscientific covid orders and fear.
History has proven that revolutions start organically and whether they try to circumvent any of the amendments, it never prevents an uprising even where countries have no protections.
Our strengths, is their weakness. That is why we see a capital fence, they are scared and they know that We the people know they are scared.
They are NOT scared. They stole an election and are going to get away with Treason. I don’t understand why you would even think they are scared.
If you study sociopaths you’ll find that when they lose control and are scared that is when the control mechanism inside them gets worse but in end, they always lose.
Yes, they are scared.
they may lose after they gas a couple million of us though.
Have to disagree. As long as we are armed the commie dems will always be a little fearful. Once they find a way to take away 2nd A without pushback than it is all over.
They already have that figured out, gun confiscation that is, and by and large it will not be by direct force.
Just as Biden did away with Trumps Executive Orders, the same is true with Biden’s Executive Orders. Once exposure of all which makes-up the Swamp is exposed for all to see and digest.
It is then remedies can be applied. It is happening right now with State legislators in the process for correcting their State voting laws. Interesting even the 6-swing States are in the process of taking positive action for correction.
Because they are scared.
They are being exposed as never before and the people do not like what they see. The people are not their allies.
There are more yet to be exposed; everything and everyone. Think what you know today you did not know even a week ago.
Right now they are being exposed and yes they are scared. This will be followed to a point of desperation. Yep, right now this is all about the “Seeing”. We have yet to experience the “Feel” phase, but it is coming right around the corner.
No one will avoid the necessary pain, however you can be aware and there are things you can do to protect yourself financially.
Preach it man. As said in other post when commenters say it’s impossible bc of military might, I try and remind them all the times in history when outnumbered forces won bc they had God on their side.
The commie dems don’t as evidence of them rejecting God three times at convention.
I really have no problem with NSA SELECTING for a chinese threat.
the only question I have is this:
why aren’t they already doing it?
where is the evidence for instance that pelosi and swallwells “CLOSE” companions didn’t make it to the radar?
here’s a suggestion:
target every single congressman, and state official.
target every single university
target every single wallstreet and technocrat corp
THAT IS WHERE YOU WILL FIND YOUR CHINESE THREAT.
the chinese threat doesn’t exist on main street.
my neighbor is NOT hosting multi-billion dollar deals with the chinese state and their cutouts and offshoring BILLIONS of taxpayers dollars to produce deals for private interest.
follow the money!
yes, I know what the secret police spy state is after…
it most certainly is not about some boogie man chinese threat.
after all, can someone please explain to me why the IC failed to report to the Whitehouse what open source was already posting about the WU FLU, at least 80 days before the IC even made mention of it to President Trump?
yeah, I not interested in hearing about new powers and new selectors.
Just do the damned job and go after the threat where it exists.
IF this government was serious about the chinese threat, it would be targeting amazon…amazon traffics for stolen technology and knockoffs that violates every single meaningful intellectual property and copyright law. If I did this, I would find myself subject to immediate arrest and heavy penalty.
and yet, amazon is allow to broker the deals to anyone around the world to buy china stolen junk and clones and knockoffs.
the threat is how china makes it money.
the government isn’t serious about the china threat….the reality is that the US gov’t is COMPLICIT to the china threat.
the US gov’t MADE the china threat and enriches itself to that fraud.
the gap narrows
stage 3 advances
more people are joining in the dissent toward a corrupt central government.
stay frosty
God Bless America
and it wasn’t obvious where I was going with the amazon line:

..the more you know
Disturbing. Especially the “private contractors”.
But we’ve already let the foreign enemy inside the gates. Ref all the computer hacking we keep hearing about, and including in part the shenanigans in the 2020 elections. Cyber cannot see bad acts, whether by foreigners here temporarily or permitted residents, that originate in the United States. .. watch the Chinese romp through our infrastructure.
What is the solution? Maybe no good one. Which is the worse evil. I don’t know. Distressing.
the most they get is who will fight, and who wont. who is on their side and who isnt.
with that info they go into impacting their incomce (job firings , taxes, etc.)
we need to start companies and income paths to counter this.
PDJT could have done this but chose not to FOR SOME reason
——
BOTTOM LINE PDJT runs on ego- he ran because Obama made fun of him at a press party. We should tell PDJT he submitted to Obama and thats why he is fighting pathetically.
HE will respond to his ego being fcked with. its the only way
It looks to be China again using SolarWinds. You know, the software used to help steal the 2020 election. This time in what appears to be a coordinated effort to help the Senate Armed Services Committee on Thursday to expand authorities for the NSA and U.S. Cyber Command.
We have not seen the end of this.
Is this the same Cyber Command that told us our elections in 2020 were safe? I tell you, this smells to high heaven.
I’m with you, Joe Cool. They’re praising General Paul Nakasone in the article, and this gentleman started his climb when JoeBama was in office the first time.
General Paul M. Nakasone assumed his present duties as Commander, U.S. Cyber Command and Director, National Security Agency/Chief, Central Security Service in May 2018.
He previously commanded U.S. Army Cyber Command from October 2016 – April 2018.
2016, huh?
Looks like he was installed to me. I think he may be no bueno.
Wyden has this to say:
Sen. Ron Wyden, D-Ore., who serves on the Senate Intelligence Committee, earlier this month voiced skepticism for giving expanded authorities to foreign-facing spy agencies.
“The government already has the authority to watch every bit of data going in and out of federal networks. [The Cyber Infrastructure Security Agency] and NSA still missed the SolarWinds backdoor calling home for further instructions. The problem here isn’t our privacy laws, but that the government is failing cybersecurity 101. Some in the government now want to ask for new, warrantless surveillance of Americans’ communications to distract Congress from asking unpleasant questions about why CISA’s $6 billion cyber shield failed to stop or detect the hacks,” he said in a March 9 statement.
The Republican Kabuki on this issue will be amusing. More generalities and abstractions and “concern” theater right up to when they get their orders from the Chamber Of Commerce. As always, we are focused on betrayal from Republicans instead of implementing ACTIONS to fight the left.
Readers of CTH need to tie this together with the fact that violation of 4th Amendment Rights was the reason Admiral Rogers tried to shutdown contractor queries to NSA data in 2015-16, and that prompted his visit to President Elect Trumps Headquarters to have him move away from Trump Towers in December 2016.
This is the INTEL Community resuming their practices from Comrade Obama’s regime. It also points to the resuming contractors being let back into the hen house as well as the INTEL Community actually using the FBI as a front.
thedoc00: Exactly. The same NSA queries and unmasking that was used on political targets for the 2016 election will now be expanded to much larger domestic target groups. Everything will get evaluated. Web searche, social media activity. Online commenting. Blogging. Phone activity. Travel activity. Contact tracing.
What was previously a cottage industry for domestic surveillance on political figures will now become industrial scale domestic spying.
Maybe if the IC wasn’t looking for garage pulls and “insurrectionists” they would have time to find Chinese spies that reside on every major university campus that’s involved with technology.
pedophile logic. They are trying to save the kids leg by putting their hands on it.
they arent looking for chinese spys.
Great article, thanks, taking it to my site, be well J.C.

Nakasone Warns Adversaries Hack Unseen In US
“We should understand what our adversaries are doing,” Gen. Nakasone told Congress. “They are no longer launching attacks from different parts in the world. They understand that they can come into the US, use our infrastructure, and there’s a blind spot for us not being able to see them.” – 25 Mar 2021
https://breakingdefense.com/2021/03/nakasone-warns-adversaries-hack-unseen-in-us/
And yet, of course, it was “the most secure election in history.” How do they know?
The Chicom virus induced the self-destruction of our economy, a major crash only prevented by this:
2020 Federal tax receipts – $2.13 trillion
2020 Federal spending – $6.55 trillion
“COVID” relief bill – $1.9 trillion, nearly the entire tax receipts for last year.
Now, Chicoms infesting our networks are being used to induce the establishment of a surveillance state here. Clever, sinister dragon…
Just think, these are just “simple” reconciliation spending bills added to the $4 Trillion FY2021 Budget, which started October 2020. Sock Puppet Joe’s handlers, in violations of the Federal Budget Act, have not yet used Joe’s pen and cell phone to proposed the 2022 Budget that starts October 2021.
Plus, in violation of the law, Sock Puppet Joe’s pen and cell phone have been used to stop FY2022 obligated funds to projects started by President Trump without congressional authority and using appropriate regulations (not that it matters to demo-commies..just pointing out some facts).
Xi Jinping’s use of hysteria as warfare
3 January 2020
https://sanjeev.sabhlokcity.com/Misc/Xi%20Jinping%E2%80%99s%20use%20of%20hysteria%20as%20warfare-combined-piece.pdf
As Sherlock Holmes said, “When you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth”. I will show that all roads lead to Beijing. It is Xi Jinping alone who has – if I may add, brilliantly – orchestrated the Great Hysteria. The novel coronavirus pandemic of 2019 presented him with an opportunity which he grabbed with both hands. In an astute manner, he has not only wiped out the threat of Donald Trump, but grievously harmed both the USA and India, the two nations which have the potential to challenge China.
The principles of war articulated by Sun Tzu include: all warfare is based on deception, supreme excellence consists in breaking the enemy’s resistance without fighting, know the enemy, let your plans be dark and impenetrable as night, and make your way by unexpected routes and attack unguarded spots.
The Russians aren’t stupid either.
As I said here long ago, the RussiaGate business was a poison pill opportunity for the Russians. As you know, Russian individuals supplied our Deep State involved personnel with everything they wanted to hear.
The Russians desired goal – to play like a violin our massively corrupt government and media to create extreme political division and a loss of trust in institutions – was achieved in spades.
Our idiocracy, both governmental and civilian, has been brilliantly played by both the Chicoms and the Russians.
Dominion Likely Used a Version of the SolarWinds Orion Platform Which Provides Backdoor Access Into their Voting Machines
Were Dominion and SolarWinds aware of a back door in the system which allowed for election fraud?
Two days ago we reported that a CISA emergency directive called on all federal civilian agencies to review and power down or disconnect all SolarWinds Orion Products:

There is an old Irish folk tale that is relevant here. It involves a woodcutter, a leprechaun, gold and a red ribbon tied around every tree.
Tie a red ribbon around every tree and the woodcutter can’t find the gold.
A parallel plan of justification – – often after the fact – – will be definition of “unreasonable”. Wonder why everyone is being portrayed as a potential threat?
If they can come up with some angle, including those inherent to someone’s genetic makeup, background, or worldview, those inclined to do so can argue that it’s “reasonable“ to watch you and everything you do like a bug under a glass and take what they deem “reasonable“ actions – – including investigation, file keeping, detaining, holding under suspicion, confiscating and freezing assets, and so on.
Note: SolarWinds is used all over the government. Would you continue to use this product?
BREAKING BIG — The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) on Sunday night issued Emergency Directive 21-01, in response to a KNOWN COMPROMISE involving SolarWinds Orion products.
This was only the fifth Emergency Directive issued by CISA under the authorities granted by Congress in the Cybersecurity Act of 2015.

May Christ have Mercy. I feel powerless.
You STILL have Google Analytics installed on this site!
Problem meet solution… get with it Sundance.
I’ve used computers since the mid – 60s and since I retired, I’ve begun to lose focus. When I requested a refresh at CTH yesterday, I thought I saw a Google reference popup and disappear. Do you have a link to privacy stuff for which I can watch? How about sharing at Gab-Treehouse friends.
Well, at least NSA actually acknowledged an amendment. I mean I was shocked they even did that. As noted before, it’s a given that they already spy on us and with the assist from tech without asking…..it’s a feature. As noted, this is probably ramping it up many more rungs of the ladder. Sweeping up everyone…..and the at least mentioned the 4th amendment. Also, they want CONgress to actually put things in writing.
Maybe this is kind of like recent few judges all of the sudden realizing where we are actually headed and even they are a bit slightly concerned.
The Fourth Amendment is stopping the NSA, FBI, CIA and DOJ from doing their jobs? What a monstrous diversion. China is stealing in the background all that they cannot buy out in the open because of POLITICAL cover, not the American People cooperating with China.
It looks like our freedom of speech will be stifled by our own federal gubment.
Other than being a historical document the constitution is basically irrelevant. The courts, Congress critters, office of the president and unelected bureaucrats operate under a different set of rules that seem to allow their actions and treat them with impunity. The dumbed down sheeple just continue to graze on the propaganda fed them and have no say in the matter. It’s no longer a constitutional republic.
It truly is amazing how dumb and stupid so many Americans can be. At this point in time, I put anyone still a Libtard Democrat in the dumb and stupid category…….I don’t care; IQ, Degree’s, PhD’s and Certificates plastered on their wall. If you can’t tell the difference between Communist control slavery and Liberty/Freedom, you are a moron.
Two IT professionals have reached out to us to share the following about SolarWinds and their Dominion connection.
Dominion Voting Machines Are Trying to Hide Their Relationship with SolarWinds – Why’s That?
Link to Article
Good stuff, hadn’t seen that one. Thanks Snoopy!
Orion is a suite of programs and you just license and activate the programs you want to use. As you can see from the offerings, the tech that described it being used as a jump point is more than believable:
https://www.solarwinds.com/solutions/orion
The ‘jump servers’ talked about in the linked article is nothing more than Domain Controllers used by every network. DNS servers makes it possible for users to browse the internet without knowing the specific IP addresses. It is basic to the internet from the beginning. If Dominion did not use Solar Winds software it would others.
The key is the security within those programs to limit what servers can be connected and what they can do once connected. The problem is the purposeful lack of control (security) by Dominion so they can do much more than what is needed.
When President Trump was in office, millions upon millions for the first time were exposed to freedom the likes they’ve never felt or understood. Are we just going to believe it was all for not?
Of course not, but the masses had to “see” it. The necessary exposure has been happening since the election. The proof people are seeing it is Trumps numbers are going up and not down. Wait until the masses start “feeling” real pain. Then and only then will the masses understand it.
blood pressure cuff! yes! one of those
I keep trying to get people to realize that we are no longer a Constitutional Republic. If you keep thinking that, you’re well behind the curve and late to the party. We are a Socialist Democracy where those in power make the rules and laws which are enforced selectively. The Deep State is emboldened beyond belief at what they accomplished with the election. Buckle up, it’s going to get rough.
Where you live is going to become critical. Local and State Representatives are going to be extremely important. Vote and plan accordingly. I’m just hoping we have 2 to 4 years before it really goes full on Communism. The States are our “last best hope for victory” to paraphrase B5. We just need a multitude of B5s now.
The only hope this country has is President Trump running for the U.S. House of Representatives in 2022. pRESIDENT Biden is going to die one way or the other in the near future. With Trump as speaker of the house ,Kampala can be impeached and the rightful leader of our country regain the presidency.
Our only hope is that our God – who created this world – is working to turn all this evil and hatred into good. That’s it. He is the only one we can trust and turn to in these times. No one in the government is going to “save” us.- not federal, state or local.
Amen.
..please stop this crap..2022…it is now or never…
2022 is too late. It has to be within the year (2021). What good is any year if Fraudulent elections are not remedied? Either the 2020 election is corrected or it is Communist States of America until the cows come home. Not enough people realize it yet. I guarantee they will when they “feel the burn”.
Several years ago I was wondering why DUI checkpoints could be set up without violating the 4th Amendment. I remember reading that the case was actually taken up by the Supreme Court and they ruled in favor of the checkpoints. They just put several stipulations on HOW they would be done in order to “balance the burden on the driver and the public interest in maintaining safe highways.”
I really was surprised to see them rule that the 4th Amendment could be less important than public safety issues. (Especially when there are other, less intrusive ways to catch drunk drivers). I’m sure the current court would be glad to weigh in on whether it is ok to ignore the 4th Amendment when trying to insure “public safety from right-wing violent extremists”. And not in a good way.
The Commies know they have Epstein Island Roberts vote!
Who are the several members?
Domestic extremists=Conservatives and those who refuse to follow the edicts issued by the Democrats.
musing:
why isn’t china susceptible to attacks like solarwind?
the answer is pretty clear
spoiler: if the US really wanted to get after china and reciprocate they could just give a call over to google and microsoft who helped them design and engineer their infrastructure!
NOW YOU KNOW!
There comes a point where we, the people, who had given consent to be governed, remove the shackles of an unlawful government that is based on tyrannical rule. In the years leading up to the Revolutionary War, the citizens of the colonies revolted against tyranny. They rejected the rule of autocrats. Why should we, a people who were supposedly freeborn, capitulate to this illegally assembled regime disguised as a president and congress?
We are in a war, and the left are determined to pretend it is all on the up and up. It is not. Biden is not the legally elected president, nor is Congress fully legally elected.
It is why they built up the sanctuary around DC, and why they are using the National Guard to protect the usurpers of power against the citizens of this failing country. The left do not see the Constitution as the legal constraints to their power, they view it as an inconvenient road bump to toss away as Obama tossed away the constraints on his powers.
This is ugly, and going to get uglier if we do not rise up against this unlawful power grabbing.
You go first, and we’ll follow your lead.
The Fourth Amendment was no obstacle for them to go after the president of the USA President Trump and his helpers.
We are looking at a coordinated attempt to push you into becoming afraid of the Chinese. Give us whatever we want, and we will keep you safe from the Chinese.
Now, why continue to accelerate their complete takeover of the government? Time is running out on something?
The criminal LGBTQWERTY in government are insane. Too much projection and prevarication by less than 2% of the aggregate population attempting to attribute their neurotic behavior and its associated paraphilias/delusions to the majority normal heterosexual population. Thanks, Alfred Kinsey and Harry Blackmun. The sooner the criminal LGBTQWERTY in government find their gonads to unilaterally abrogate the COTUS/BOR, the sooner the majority can restore constitutional order.
how did PDJT solve this?
he told china if you ROMP through out Infrastructure I will cut your food supply off bitch. Romping never happened.
Let’s imitate President Trump’s foreign policy framework. Identify the responsible party and create the necessary leverage.
Take away the Fourth Amendment and the Second Ammendment follows.
Two words for these people:
melon lobby
Isn’t the 4th Amendment supposed to be an obstacle! I think that’s why it was put there because despots can always come up with a justification. No?
Sit there and watch the Chinese romp through our infrastructure?
They aren’t US citizens. This is crazy and scary. Looks like 1984 is the template.
I guess Gertstell and nakasome need to get a visit. No 4th for us, no 4th for them…. So, where do they live????????
The firewall against fourth amendment protections is the job of the Supreme Court. . .uh-oh.
Domestic extremists, like those that took up arms in 1775. People that enrolled in twitter, facebook, and all the ridiculous social media crap now used by foreign entities deceiving young Americans are going to have their day of sorrow and regret. Yes, everything will be used against you. You will conform as your told to.
