This is a rather bold public admission. They are saying the quiet part out loud and absolutely confirming what we have been writing about in our Fourth Branch of Government series. Remember, the Fourth Branch is only possible because of a Public-Private partnership with the intelligence apparatus.
Today, the biggest names in Big Tech announce they have partnered with the Five Eyes intelligence network, ultimately controlled by the NSA, to: (1) monitor all activity in their platforms; (2) identify extremist content; (3) look for expressions of Domestic Violent Extremism (DVE); and then, (4) put the content details into a database where the Five Eyes intelligence agencies (U.K., U.S., Australia, Canada, New Zealand) can access it.
Facebook, Twitter, Google and Microsoft are all partnering with the intelligence apparatus. I can’t believe they admit this sentence in the release (emphasis mine):
[…] “The Group will use lists from intelligence-sharing group Five Eyes adding URLs and PDFs from more groups, including the Proud Boys, the Three Percenters and neo-Nazis.”
Think about that sentence structure very carefully. They are “adding to” the pre-existing list…. admitting the group (aka Big Tech) already have access to the the intelligence-sharing database… and also admitting there is a pre-existing list created by the Five Eyes consortium.
Obviously, who and what is defined as “extremist content” will be determined by the Big Tech insiders themselves. This provides a gateway, another plausible deniability aspect, to cover the Intelligence Branch from any oversight.
When the Intelligence Branch within government wants to conduct surveillance and monitor American citizens, they run up against problems due to the Constitution of the United States. They get around those legal limitations by sub-contracting the intelligence gathering, the actual data-mining, and allowing outside parties (contractors) to have access to the central database.
The government cannot conduct electronic searches (4th amendment issue) without a warrent; however, private individuals can search and report back as long as they have access. What is being admitted today is exactly that pre-existing partnership. The difference today is that Big Tech will flag the content from within their platforms, and now a secondary database filled with the extracted information will be provided openly for the Intelligence Branch to exploit.
The volume of metadata captured by the NSA has always been a problem because of the filters needed to make the targeting useful. There is a lot of noise in collecting all data that makes the parts you really want to identify more difficult to capture. This new admission puts a new massive filtration system in the metadata that circumvents any privacy protections for individuals.
Previously, the Intelligence Branch worked around the constitutional and unlawful search issue by using resources that were not in the United States. A domestic U.S. agency, working on behalf of the U.S. government, cannot listen on your calls without a warrant. However, if the U.S. agency sub-contracts to say a Canadian group, or foreign ally, the privacy invasion is no longer legally restricted by U.S. law.
What is being announced today is an alarming admission of a prior relationship along with open intent to define their domestic political opposition as extremists.
July 26 (Reuters) – A counterterrorism organization formed by some of the biggest U.S. tech companies including Facebook (FB.O) and Microsoft (MSFT.O) is significantly expanding the types of extremist content shared between firms in a key database, aiming to crack down on material from white supremacists and far-right militias, the group told Reuters.
Until now, the Global Internet Forum to Counter Terrorism’s (GIFCT) database has focused on videos and images from terrorist groups on a United Nations list and so has largely consisted of content from Islamist extremist organizations such as Islamic State, al Qaeda and the Taliban.
Over the next few months, the group will add attacker manifestos – often shared by sympathizers after white supremacist violence – and other publications and links flagged by U.N. initiative Tech Against Terrorism. It will use lists from intelligence-sharing group Five Eyes, adding URLs and PDFs from more groups, including the Proud Boys, the Three Percenters and neo-Nazis.
The firms, which include Twitter (TWTR.N) and Alphabet Inc’s (GOOGL.O) YouTube, share “hashes,” unique numerical representations of original pieces of content that have been removed from their services. Other platforms use these to identify the same content on their own sites in order to review or remove it. (read more)
.
All is not lost. There is a way to stop the Intelligence Branch, but it requires some outside-the-box thinking and reliance on the Constitution as a tool to radically change one element within government. We will be covering this in the near future.
In the interim, we must remain focused on the three tiers that we need for success.
♦ Tier One is “tactical civics” at a local level. Engaged and active citizen participation at the community, city, town and hamlet level of society. This is what might be described as grassroots level. School Board level; City Council level; County Commissioner level.
♦ Tier Two is “extreme federalism” at a state level. Engaged and active citizen participation through your State House and State Senate representative. This is state level assembly and action demands upon the House, Senate and State Governor.
♦ Tier Three the challenge of “federal offices” on a national level. This is where CTH will present an action that can be taken way upstream that allows the first two tiers to take control over federal offices. This is where we throw the One Ring into the fire of Mordor.
I am confident that ultimately We The People will win. Details will come soon; in the interim, tactical civics and extreme federalism are doable right now, in this next election cycle.
Most planning takes place in private. If it’s planned on any of these platforms, it’s all BS! Yes, even the stupid idiots who cry out for vanities sake.

The DC Republicans stabbed Trump in the back with reoncilation and supported Big Tech in Dec 2020. Then the Republicans passed the Defense bill over his veto getting rid of the Confederate names on Army bases. Then refused to support $2000, and doubled in voice vote the number H1B’s to further help Big Tech. Then the DC Republicans refused to support “Stop the Steal”
Then they cried about losing the 2 Senate Races and their Senate majority.
they meant and worked to lose those races
I’m sure McCarthy has a hearing planned any day now. And some tweets.
Sorry McCarthy can’t be reached for comment at this time. He’s busy writing ” A letter”

Yes, funds for his personal bank account.

Might settle for Charlie at this point.
He’s Harry Kameltoe’s VP.

At risk of saying the quiet part out loud, some stuff of some sort will start happening, spread, and the whole thing is going to get burned to the f’ng ground. I will happen, just a matter of time. They are terrified. They know that we know. These maggots have mistaken silence for weakness. Big mistake. Can’t wait to see the looks on their faces when karma comes to town.
yes . . . they are going around a big curve in the rolly coaster and they are holding on tight as hell
the white-knuckle grip indicates fear . . . they are so full of it . . .
and speaking of the NSA . . . the Angry Birds app that was so very popular when it was being played on millions of phones . . . then it was revealed at some point that the NSA scooped up tons of private data of Angry Birds app users . . .
so now Mr. Angry Birds, Peter Vesterbecka, is like a point man for the Tallinn (Estonia)-Helsinki (Finland) train tunnel project brought to the region by the splendid brilliant people at BRI – the Belt and Road Initiative people, the PRC . . .
Mr. Vesterbecka seemed perplexed as to why having the PRC doing a project in that neck of the woods should alarm anyone . . . why should anyone object? What’s the worst the Chinese could do? Shut it down? So, in that response, he is even according to the PRC a potential sovereignty over the project itself, in the land and the water . . . “just shut it down” . . . until when?
When I hear NSA and Big Tech going further into their endeavors, I just wonder and worry where the CCP fits into all of this when we see down the road in the years since the NSA-breach of app users info did not affect the fortunes of Peter Vesterbecka but he goes onward to be a champion of a BRI project.
I think all the breach of app and user info data theft is just a cover for the gubt having acquired the data already by other means.
Kinda’ like the Mueller file on President TRUMP. The UNIParty wanted it SO BAD, they sued and sued and sued, even though it was already illegally leaked to them by the Mueller kabal, but they couldn’t really use it against him unless they had acquired it legally.
Trump has it all. I believe he, or whoever he worked with is supplying Mike Lindell with those data captures he is going to show the world about how the election was stolen in REAL TIME. That will be the shot heard around the world.
The FBI/CIA form extremist groups to provide organizations that need spying on.
They will demand more funding because creating white supremacist terrorists requires substantial resources.
These “terrorist” organizations will reel in a few silly people who have limited intellectual ability. These unfortunates will plead guilty to whatever they are told.
They need fodder for the Jan. 6 committee.
No, Nitwit Tehran Nan-chi already has a plan. She’s opening U.S. Capitol Police offices across the country to target their political enemies. And these are the people, the U.S. Capitol Police, who, like our CongressCritters, have no accountability whatsoever.

I wonder if any “extremist” person who on occasion would post verses of scripture, particularly those where the prophets are raining down fire, brimstone, flood, and pestilence upon the damned, would actually be “flagged” – followed, photographed coming from church, or handing “something” to a homeless guy (sure sign of intel op) – damn turns out it’s a ham sandwich. “But, they’re up to something, we just know it” imagine they – Ya, dude, they sure are – they’re trying not to let the whole candy store sink into the crapper – YOU, mr and mrs surveillance have created. Maybe they should listen back to all their “tapes” – read the posts and maybe they might just learn something.
I agree in theory. However, They HATE us. So the point is moot. What you describe is coming, and sooner than we would like trust me. Pray, pray with your bible open, tell God and Jesus, you are standing on these promises, for healing, for prosperity, for PEACE and for Victory!!!! Go to the verse and speak it to our Father and to our Savior Jesus Christ, ask that the Holy Spirit be freed to bring these promises to completion, bring the very Culture of Heaven to Earth right here and Now!!! In Jesus name and by His precious blood, Halleluiah and Amen! That is what our Pastor preached to us at yesterdays sermon. It makes sense to me to do it. Stay blessed.
The entire country needs to be reminded what a slimy mentality directed COINTELPRO when Hoover was at the helm . . .
send a tidbit to a Hollywood entertainment news columnist, something about the lovely Jean Seberg having an affair with a Black Panther in order to destroy her and any influence she might have . . .
so her little baby died and she had an open casket to let everyone see for themselves that the child was not the child of the purported Black Panther father, not that it was anyone’s damn business.
Then she ultimately took her life . . . could not overcome the battering . . . just crushed.
That was the perfect illustration of the vile nature of the COINTELPRO, go after a woman, you big brave louts, to put the fear in people that they should not give the Black Panthers any credence or credence to anyone who supported them . . .
but breaking our Constitution ultimately, not respecting the privacy of persons . . .
These are the inheritors of that same legacy . . . and they have not disavowed the willingness to go into the slime.

https://caselaw.findlaw.com/us-supreme-court/16-402.html
“As technology has enhanced the Government’s capacity to encroach upon areas normally guarded from inquisitive eyes, this Court has sought to “assure[ ] preservation of that degree of privacy against government that existed when the Fourth Amendment was adopted.”
“A person does not surrender all Fourth Amendment protection by venturing into the public sphere. To the contrary, ‘what [one] seeks to preserve as private, even in an area accessible to the public, may be constitutionally protected.’”
While the quote is much appreciated, the wizards of sophistry can wordsmith around any pesky Constitutional rulings. In other words, the Constitution says whatever they want it to say–they’re just making it up as they go along.
That’s how it is in a banana republic.
This banana Republic is now diseased similar to the banana pandemic of TR4 fungus which attacks the vascular system causing wilt and rot, gaining foothold before symptoms appear. Sound familiar? This banana republic needs new growth from a replanting of the seeds of Liberty, bearing fresh wholesome Freedom for ourselves and our children once again!
It is still illegal for the government to outsource violation of our constitutional rights.
Facebook violates fourth amendment
Twitter violates first
Amazon violates 13th
I agree. Many of the companies that they do it through are 100% federally funded to actually create the tools that can then be used against us. Meaning of curse that we are obliged to pay them to spy on and report us.
I thought, they were All part of the government…

FTA “Republicans voting against Democrats in the House is now treason. The left no longer is satisfied with going after Trump voters. The left is after all the opposition. Are you now or have you ever been a Republican?
This smacks of the desperation facing Democrats who know that Donald Trump upset them on November 3 so badly that they had to Xerox off thousands of mail-in ballots at the last minute to make it appear they won. Mind you, this came after their cheating. That they got away with it disturbs me.
We are close to losing our nation to government of the government, by the government, and for the government.”
Prescient words from Don Surber as we get closer and closer to a “government, by the government for the government” excluding We The People! God help us! Hosanna!
Wow!
They scared us into submission using the January 6 arrests and treatment of the people. Why would they not tell us more to keep us domicile. I’m not sure its working as they think it is. Americans can play possum if they have too. The water might be calm but under currents are raging.

They are monitoring key words, because technology remains limited compared to the human brain. The safest way to criticize the State is through sarcasm and irony. Declare Biden to be the greatest President who ever lived. This is how people in communist countries learned to mock their government.
We will all learn to speak in code, and soon.
As we saw when Trump asked Russia to find Hillary’s emails, the State finds jokes to be hugely subversive. The late-night talk shows abandoned all Democrat jokes while Obama was President. Cartoons and films are particularly accessible to the totalitarian mindset. The staff at the Charlie Hebdo magazine were massacred for publishing cartoons that mocked Mohammad. Dinesh D’Souza went to prison for making a film that mocked Obama. Same mindset on display.
Again, in communist countries, the people probed for which art forms, which means of expression were least accessible to the IC mindset. The internet may prove to be baffling to the very narrow-minded John Brennan types, as long as we make our points in circuitous ways.
Declare Biden to be the greatest President who ever lived.
NEVER.
Bite your tongue.
Yes, that is sarcasm to the OP, but is very close to what the press says with a straight face!
Your options, our options are narrowing by the day.
This is not a game.
Big Tech actually help create and maintain the list FOR the 5EYES INTEL Group. They have been under contract since 2010 to do so as well as for DoD.
Of course one way to combat this is to stay off social media. I use only Telegram. Not sure it is actually safe, based on some recent happenings I have my doubts. But limiting exposure and staying away from FM, IG, Twatter et all seems a no brainer to me. I have never participated in any of them, save for Twatter for one week before getting banned. By using only one platform if they come after me I know the reason why and can respond appropriately. Looking forward to throwing the ring of fire into Mordor.
Sadly, it isn’t just social media. You can bet your bottom dollar they’re following web traffic and content. That means this site and others. Watch them shut down internet access if it should ever get dire for the Deep State.
My hubby dealt with a particularly nasty ex-wife. I commented that if she’d spent half the amount of time she did on nasty vindictive BS she could have had an excellent job which paid her more than she was looking to get from him.
I feel the same about our government. If they spent half the amount of time they spend targeting American citizens and applied it to thwarting our enemies, this might still be a country I’d recognize.
Im with you my man. From this sailor’s mouth to God’s ears.
Im an oath keeper. Just not the kind the government wants the fools to think I am. Honor. Courage. Commitment.
The Navy taught me well.
Silent no more.
White supremacy is defined in Critical Theory as God given rights and Judeo Christian morals. In other words, the founding principles of the United States. Straight white Christian males are by definition the worst of the oppressors, but you don’t have to be Caucasian to be a white supremacist. Adherence to the Bible, the Declaration, or the Constitution are grounds to identify an extremist. That is what we are up against.
Big Tech= Big Red China
I am not at all shocked. It’s not the first time. The Five Eyes part, maybe.
What is the reward on these bounties? And who pays it?
At least 2 and possibly 3 of the “Five Eyes” partners were active participants in the Steele Pee-pee Dossier…I am not sure of NZ but certainly, the UK and AU had some of their SENIOR operatives working against PDJT before and after the 2016 election..this is more of an admittance of a similar program the US used to justify spying on its citizen when an electronic signal used microwave transmission it was deemed to have left the territorial restrictions on NSA capture of that data and was susceptible to intelligence gathering methods
Start whispering in local ears and let 1000 whispers become a voice and thousands after become our cry.
Don’t whisper! That’s what they want because if you whisper only those you are speaking too will hear. Don’t stop posting even to the threat of cutoff. Democrats are reading the posts. Some see the points of realism, but if we stop because they say we should stop, they’ve won. Its like the January 6 protest. No protests since then. It shouldn’t have stopped because they think they’ve won. Be seen but be seen peacefully. Be heard but with truth, not anger.
For those who fail or disregard the legal “Definitions” of laws are doomed to live in fear. Congress knows the legal laws as I do, IRS knows the legal laws as I do but every time one fails to understand the the legal “Definitions” of law will continually be subjected to the circumstances that they hope you don’t understand.
You want to win? Then pick out any United States Title 1-53, pick out any section of that particular title and search out the Legal “Definitions” and only then will everyone stop being bullied under “Words of Art”.
I’m surprised lawyers who frequent here don’t speak out on this subject.
We don’t need a Revolution, we need to use the laws they wrote in our favor!
You know what the one of the greater problems of congress. They’ve grown soft. Read? Are you kidding me? If they took time to read they’d not be able to be there for the cameras. Point of fact but not a quote. Susan Collins during the Kavanaugh hearings was ready and willing to vote no until she actually stopped and read the testimony of Ford. How many days did that hearing go on? You have to vote for it to know what’s in it congress is often told. Actually they’d have to wait until someone reads it for them.

How to convince the posters on this site that they must measure every post for its impact? For its political correctness?
Me. My Facebook account deleted last year, Twitter account deleted, Gmail accounts closed, use Brave and Duck Duck Go instead of Chrome and Google, Signal instead of Whatsapp, etc. No Alexa, etc. Best I can do in an all digital world but a start.
Ditto, dropped Amazon and cancelled the account as well as the above. Gotta start somewhere.
Someone posted the other day that senior military were advised to stock up their homes. It was a veteran that shared it.
I’ve been spreading the word to my close friends. I want to be as self-sufficient and not need to shop for anything for at least a month. We have a generator and on site gas. We’re good for a bit.
If I had a buck for every time I have seen or heard , “saying the quiet part out loud” in the past few months my bank account would be pretty substantial.
What I take from it is that the fascists don’t fear us at all and are thus amplifying and accelerating their plans.
Be safe, be smart and be prepared.
Monitor?!? They can see them right on their televisions! The extremists carry flags and signs that say antifa and blm.
Oh, not those actual extremists? Just the imagined kind? Never mind.
Thanks to Obama, Biden , Big Tech and BIG Intelligence

Glorious America has been an island in a sea of human despair.
We are entering a dark age, not leaving it.
Our enemies want to return to the world of a few very rich and privileged people, ruling over a sea of poor. Neo-feudalism. Our enemies want to end the very concept of middle-class average people living lives of comfort.
The internet? And if they turn off the internet tomorrow, then what?
So many posters on this site think it’s all a game. Rant about free speech, rant about the Second Amendment.
Our enemies wish us ill. They wish we were dead. Start there.
This just makes the 81 + Million who voted for Trump get even more solid about their support. AND more will get on the band wagon.
Stupid big tech. HA!
“Obviously, who and what is defined as “extremist content” will be determined by the Big Tech insiders themselves.”
But it WON’T be determined by “insiders.” That is what I am trying to say. No “insiders,” no humans, will define it it or determine it. AI Precog algorithms will do it, and will spit out a list of names for arrest based upon their predictions of what those individual citizens MIGHT do. This is the only way this makes sense. And Big Tech is helping by both providing data and helping to crunch it.

Are we really surprised, at this point?
A former CIA is dispatched by or with the WH knowledge to harass a reporter from a network the regime has despised since the Obama years. Called out often by Obama and clue-less Joe.
The Fourth Branch has to keep their brain dead masses from looking at the human, drug, and gun smuggling by the cartels and gangs, along with CCP/CoC/JoBamala/UniParty (and their family) policies. Thus, .Gov has been chasing white phantoms that they create since at least Bubba.
This has got to be illegal and unconstitutional. Even a partly honest Democrat judge would admit that. I think the Democrats want to see what they can get away with before they get shown the door in 2022. Who knows, they may even roll tanks one fine evening.
Big tech and the IC, working together diligently, to identify all those mean, dangerous extremists, how utterly pathetic. So these sorry excuses for americans will be monitoring Patriots. Go for it pukes, we still outnumber your cowardly corrupt asses. Hell we should be monitoring you. Big tech and the IC fear Patriots that much.
From the looks of many large cities it doesn’t appear Facebook, Google, twitter, et alia have been of any assistance against the scourge of selling people, drugs and guns – internationally or internally.

That sound good, the problem is most American don’t believe or honor God. Our churches teach everything but God’s Truth known as the Bible or God’s Word.
In the beginning was the Word so it goes. The vast majority of the people do not believe in God heck they don’t even believe in the Constitution. Without a moral society we cannot function that’s what our constitution says. So unless we have a true revival aknd return to the word of God we will not survive.

To be so forthcoming at this time – does this not mean that the one-world-government designer (that German fellow what’s-his-name Schwab) believe he and his acolytes have already accomplished their mission and that nation-states really don’t exist anymore except as palliatives for the unaware natives?
We’ve already got U.S. Army Generals taking on private citizens in twitter disputes for their personal opinions the State does not approve of, that alone, and that he still has a job, seems to indicate we’ve already crossed the threshold to a brave new world.
Yes, Ma’am. That’s what it means.
…publications and links flagged by U.N. initiative Tech Against Terrorism.
UN involvement – like having the UN come in to assess systemic racism in the USA?
I have a list
..when the time comes…and it will.
I will release this list.
here and everywhere
you will know exactly what is required when you see the list.
it will be taken down quickly.
your job is to share it with EVERYONE.
when we talk about stage 3…we have to talk about mechanics…the stuff…the details.
one of the important details is the list.
it’s not comprehensive. it doesn’t have to be complete.
you will know what to do.
God Bless America
Upon it’s inception, the CIA started info sharing with the vatican, and still does so today. It used to be mostly foreign stuff, but I would be surprised if they are not doing it domestically now.
If everyone cancelled their phones and internet they would get the message.
Might be time to get a landline.
Mobile phones and internet can be useful for counter-intelligence work, to create scenarios. The IC uses such techniques all the time. They’re great teachers.
IDK, maybe a resurgence in numbers stations? When I noticed Nellie Ohr got an amateur radio license, the thought did come to mind. She was a CIA contractor and Bruce Ohr’s wife.
If one’s local telco is still old school with battery backup for twisted pair, a landline could be useful when other communication equipment and networks are neutralized. Be prepared for alternate coms would be my advice.
“Although fascist parties and movements differed significantly from one another, they had many characteristics in common, including extreme militaristic nationalism, contempt for electoral democracy and political and cultural liberalism, a belief in natural social hierarchy and the rule of elites, and the desire to create a Volksgemeinschaft (German: “people’s community”), in which individual interests would be subordinated to the good of the nation.”
