Office of Inspector General Michael Horowitz testified yesterday that more than 3.4 million search queries into the NSA database took place between Dec. 1st, 2020 and Nov. 30th, 2021, by government officials and/or contractors working on behalf of the federal government. These search queries were based on authorizations related to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA).
[OIG Testimony HERE]
Approximately 30% of those 3.4 million search queries were outside the rules and regulations that govern warrantless searches, what the politically correct government calls “non-compliant searches.”
Additionally, IG Horowitz also admitted that somewhere north of 10,000 federal employees have access to conduct these searches of the NSA database; a database which contains the electronic data of every single American, including emails, text messages, social media posts, instant messages, direct messages, phone calls, geolocation identifiers, purchases by electronic funds, banking records and any keystroke any American person puts into any electronic device for any reason.
If we were in a functioning system of government everything would be stopped right now, and no conversation would be taking place that was not about this issue. This is the total and complete surveillance state being talked about as if we were discussing what’s for dinner.
This is beyond jaw-dropping.
Context: In 2018 CTH revealed through research of their own documents that FBI and DOJ/FBI contractors had done more than 1,000 illegal searches using the NSA database, targeting Republican primary candidates from November 2015 through May 2016. These stunning admissions were from the DOJ’s own reporting to the FISA court.
Few were paying attention.
Although the number of the illegal search queries were redacted, we know the number is four digits from the size of the redacted text. More than 1,000 and less than 9,999.
FAST FORWARD TO 2023 – Yesterday, IG Horowitz outlined that more than 1.1 million illegal searches of this database were conducted in 2021 during the first year of the Joe Biden administration.
Additionally, and perhaps more consequentially, to give scope to how the process of total domestic surveillance has expanded, Horowitz now admits in 2021 the number of federal government employees with access to this total metadata collection system now exceeds 10,000 people. STOP THE PRESSES!
Yes, congress is talking about this ‘as if’ there is some level of importance. However, the basic questions are not being asked, or have perhaps just become so accepted that legislators have become oblivious to the insanity of it. Beyond the blood boiling questions about searching the NSA database, questions like:
In order for these search queries to take place, there has to be a housing facility to capture it.
Where is all of this electronic data being stored?
Why is all of this electronic data being stored?
Who is in control of this all-encompassing electronic data collection?
Forget the searches for a moment, what act of congress authorized the capture of this private data collection? Essentially electronic intercepts of communication systems that flow throughout our life.
The background context here is congress debating the renewal of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act and the power of the DOJ and FBI to intercept American citizen communication and electronic data via the “702” authorizations, that permit the NSA database to be searched and queried.
If the inspector general is now admitting the FISA laws have been so comprehensively corrupted such that 3.4 million searches by more than 10,000 federal employees and government contractors now have access, there is no way that any reasonably intelligent person should support such reauthorization. Even contemplating this request is absurd, beyond absurd.
The United States government is admitting to the public that a total and comprehensive surveillance state is currently in place, and 10,000 federal government agents have the authorization to monitor everything we do.
This is the admitted and current status of RIGHT NOW. Yet people are worried about possible ‘vaccination passports’ or ‘digital currencies’ or ‘social credit scores’ sometime in the future?
Have we totally lost connection to the reality of our current condition?
Can you see the insanity of it?…
… Or should we just ask, “what’s for dinner?”

Our government is wrought with filth.
It’s Friday, so we’re having fish tonight. What about you?
I don’t eat fish on Friday’s or any other time
Raccisss
The NSA wants to know what’s for dessert.
Analysts have pulled your latest grocery purchases and predicted it from past activity graphs — they knew before you got home from the store.
So your saying that they know all about the boxes and boxes of Little Debbie cakes?
: )
sorry, this corrupt piece of shit government is not mine. if you want to claim ownership, that’s up to you, but leave me out of it.
It’s not wrought with it…it is filth.
When will this madness stop?
I am very pro-Trump and no exceptions. But I have to wonder why Trump isn’t speaking about this issue specifically? Probably because they’d just murder him as they have with other presidents. But it needs to be called out and heard by everyone.
This might be a good time to not telegraph the next move. Get patriots in the WH first, then go full wolverine. If you want to get all of the cockroaches, block the exits before you turn on the lights.
Ummm….voting our way out of this ain’t gonna happen.
Who said anything about voting?
I get your reply in full context. I pray others do.
I also wrote the orders for standing up the militia and in the coordinated copy block of the address wrote “delivered” to NSA and USG.
You did. Unless you have a different legal way to “get patriots in the WH first”.
We’ve been saying this for years…yet majority of CTH think we as a civil society can work through this.
The 1st Amendment is nulled and THEY know the ONLY reason their progressive march is held up is the second.
And just to put it in perspective. CTH five years ago.

And to this day not one person sits in a 6×8 cell because OUR government is at war with us.
Our government has been at war with us since FDR re did The Trading with the Enemy Act—making the people the enemy. Follow up was the Patriot Act and after that was Obama signing that NDAA doing same. FDR also presided over YOU being the creditor and the moment your mother signed that birth certificate with MAIDEN NAME and as an “informant” you are a ward of the state! Amusingly mothers go to school bOARD meetings declaring “this is my child” while the board knows ALL children with a BC belong to the state! But the board is not ready to admit it. It is a birth “certificate” not title—but a “certificate “ of title. Do you see this?
Very wise statement….
I remember a tip for washing the dog – before the actual washing begins, make a circle of the soap around his neck (below his ears) so that when the little critters begin to go beserk when the washing starts and then they run up into his poor ears, but they can’t do that if you create a barrier of soap, first.
I am wondering, do people still wash their dogs or is that frowned upon, like washing your car in your driveway (and now you are supposed to take it to the car wash where they have water-saving systems).
Just kidding . . .
or maybe I shouldn’t.
Daniel, I’m actually surprised (and thankful!!) that PDJT is still here with us today.
May God have mercy on this country.
Give him a chance, Gaetz’s questioning of Horowitz has just revealed it it seems; so I suspect when DJT hears it, he will respond.
Trump has known about this for a long time… as have we. What’s “new” is that it continued even after they had removed Trump through election fraud.
It’s a really powerful toy for them and they can’t help themselves. It surprises me none-at-all. Law enforcement people have been using their resources to check up on their girlfriends and wives forever.
You dont sound pro Trump to me. This sounds like wishful thinking on your part.
All of you anti Trumpers start out the same way and out yourselves before you even begin.
I am sure Tucker would have brought it up, but it seems he has been duct taped until after 2024.
I worry about those last FOUR words.
When its stopped, and not one moment sooner.
methinks it will stop when we the people burn it all down!
We don’t have to burn it down if we can alternatively shut off the money flow — many possibilities exist here and very few people will need to travel outside their state to “execute” this side.
We will need a forum, communication, and self-defense: that’s all that is required for now… but self defense is MILITIA in case you were wondering.
I want the databases destroyed, the FISA court dismantled, the Patriot Act revoked.
I want police forces to be exceptionally clean in order to earn funding (clean police precincts will get paid higher because they have weeded out the corrupt cops)
Will exceptional law enforcement, one does not need Databases, FISA courts, or Patriot Acts.
By now people should realize the future is not going to go well….but there is always hopeium.
Jesus saves if you want to miss out on the antichrist, Tribulation and hellfire.
Well kinda sorta, per 2 Thessalonians, Jesus comes AFTER the anti-christ is made publically known
Rapture…..
No such thing as rapture.
Jesus comes the SECOND time to Earth after the anti-christ has reigned for 3 1/2 years, but Jesus comes “in the clouds” prior to the beginning of the tribulation to remove His church: we are not destined for the wrath of God.
We are instructed to watch for the coming of our Lord, NOT to watch for the coming of the anti-christ.
Sounds like an excuse to do nothing.
Military is the only way.
Nope. Riddle me this. 2 million injected with COVID crap. Start stressing those folks and they’ll drop like flies
They will follow the militia and the Constitution and will not be initiators until/unless attacked.
The defense of US and Constitution =yes military when enemy is defined
The enforcement of domestic laws = yes MILITIA supported by military if Constitution is threatened.
THEY are wiping their asses with the Constitution
yep – that’s what the Rapture is.
awesome. you can go to church and sing songs and hide in your closet because Jesus will save you from the tribulation.
Meanwhile, the rest of us will be fighting the good fight for our kids and grandkids against the evil bastards while many coddle themselves with the myth of Rapture. I studied it. It ain’t in there. Go check it out, again.
You know why we’re always losing……? Lousy Christians that pray and pray and pray, but never are willing to put anything on the line. They are special and will be whisked away before any serious suffering. Meanwhile, the end times have come over and over again throughout history when the innocent are killed by the powerful.
sorry, I don’t mean to sound so ugly, but my patience wears very thin.
Your anger is misdirected, friend. This is not a battle that will or can be won by Anyone other than God Himself. The task is too large & the filthy rot too deep for human hands to dig out of. It takes a decided measure of humility to admit this.
The Rapture is not a myth, nor is it an excuse for inaction. On the contrary, Jesus said to “occupy till I come”. That doesn’t mean sitting on your hands & watching the world descend into further chaos while staying silent & refusing to get involved in anything. While it’s true that too much of the Church today seems to be disposed towards passivity, you’re still painting with far too broad a brush. The presence of the true Church is very likely the only reason God hasn’t yet poured out the full measure of His righteous judgment upon this nation.
You deride prayer while failing to recognize that this is, at its core, a spiritual war that cannot be fought or won with earthly weaponry. Far worse is that you’ve allowed your bitterness to place you in dangerous proximity to the very evil you rail against.
Just commenting to add more than a “Thumbs Up” for your comment is why I am “replying” right now.
I think you have nailed it pretty much right on the head.
Faith.
( and the willingness to do more, if need be…) 😉
I’m pretty sick of hearing about the rapture myself. It was made up by some preacher just a couple of hundred years ago. When the tribulation comes, any christians still alive will suffer like the rest. Think of it as a test of faith. The Bible states pretty clearly that Christ only comes to earth twice, not three times.
How long has Joey been in office now?
“Were in error.” Ha ha — good one!
We need to make it illegal to be in possession of ANY of that information in any way, by any person (regardless of security “clearance”) and for any reason.
Reading “The Puzzle Palace” by James Bamford – about the NSA –
in order to get access to wires, Yardley went AROUND the Radio Act that was supposed to prevent telegrams from being read by anyone but the sender and recipient.
If you could even accept the value and need for what the NSA did in order to help protect our country wherein they were working against enemies of the United States through wars and the Cold War . . . but they have been gathering data on American citizens AS IF we are the enemies of our own country.
Back when the “Angry Birds” app was so popular, it was unfortunately a “leaky app” and thus the NSA scooped up data on the millions of Americans playing that game.
Peter Vesterbecka, the “Angry Birds” app developer, went on his merry way. Now he has been promoting a PRC “Belt and Road Initiative” project -an underground rail line between Helsinki, Finland and Tallinn, Estonia – his response to concerns about the PRC being involved, “what would they do, shut it down?”
Is there any way to find out if the “Angry Birds” app was specifically designed TO be a “leaky app” so that the NSA could access all that data?
Neither worse nor better than Tik Tok.
And accept that the CRITICAL issue is NOT INTEL LOSS through the ap. The CRITICAL problem with Tik Tok is information NOT being “vetted” by the “Appropriate ‘Au-THOR-ITAYS’ ”
Meaning that the “Disinformation Quotient” damages the “Approved Narrative”.
Truth videos are on Tiktok reaching the young liberal masses, which is a reason to keep Tiktok.
It is naive to believe that the leaky Angry Birds app wasn’t designed to be leaky…
They don’t need apps to be leaky. They scoop up all data on the fiber-optic lines that makeup the backbone of the Internet. Literally every bit that crosses the wires is scooped up and stored by NSA.
How will we ever do that? Maybe we also need to destroy the control silos the Deep State uses to maintain its control over the elected Government. No wonder it seems like a Uni-Party. This is a big mess, folks.
I think it already is illegal… But the Congress (SSCi), DOJ, and Fourth Estate act as if they are above the law due to the arrogance of their human sinful nature…. More laws won’t fix this… Anyway, the foxes guarding the henhouse would never allow it…
So we’re back to the question (the elephant in the room) that everyone here dances around… What are “We The People” going do about all of this brokeness? If nothing, then I, for one, am focusing on my relationship with the Lord every moment that I can…
godsbattlefield.com
So we need no more laws?
We need ALL guilty parties to be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the Law …. but did they already establish a precedent that any member of the vile Deep State Swamp goes free???
Who the Hell is actually in control of this nation? Who, or what, exists at the top of the pyramid of filth & corruption & psychopathy???
Another law…that’s the ticket…should clear those bad people overnight.
Criminals don’t follow laws, remember?
its already illegal: you are missing an enFORCEment tool and the one listed in the constitution is the MILITIA.
“The Puzzle Palace” . . . alive and well!
Didn’t Admiral Mike Rogers blow the whistle on this mess back in 2016?
The Obama gang had been searching with abandon until Rogers shut it down.
So, who cranked it up again?
We’ve got so many things that need to be shut down permanently.
How do we get it done when the worst abusers have grabbed complete control?
I would say the Buyden Admin cranked it up again.
Not without ACTIVE participation from the G of 8, and SSCI, which is to say Congressional Republican leadership.
Can’t be said too often: from muh Russia, to Covid horror, to the Steals of elections, to obvious worldwide human and drug trafficing, NONE of these horrific acts could have been done, WITHOUT ACTIVE Cooperation, coordination etc. of Republican leadership.
There are no “Biden admin ” or “Obama admin” scandals, they are U.S. Government scandals.
There is no populism in the traditional Republican Party. MAGA is a new breed.
Well, ADM Rogers blew the whistle on the FISA abuse surrounding President Trump buy then….during four years of the FBI and DOJ trying to frame President Trump for a crime that never even happened…we didn’t hear a peep out of Admiral Rogers. Why is that Captain Ron?
Even retired Admirals wish to stay alive for a few more years.
I don’t think it ever got shut down, just exposed, right?
only an idiot would believe that it stopped. smart money says it ramped up.
Partially exposed and was only explained to limited audiences…. (such as here in CTH)
Probably Susan Rice. I don’t think Biden is smart enough to understand what is going on. Obama is still running (aka ruining) the country.
And Clapper’s video/audio just keeps being replayed, where Rep. Wyden asked him if they were recording our calls, and he answered “Not wittingly.”
Sure. It’s all just an….accident.
“Not wittingly”?
Seriously?
What a strange response.
Wow.
I knew he was king the minute I saw it. What a “tell”.
TINVOWOOT!!!!
There Is No Voting Our Way Out Of This!
It HAS to be kinetic going forward. (MUCH to my internal distaste [Wishes, Horses, etc.])
“If Blackbrier goes South, we’ll tie it around Landrys neck, shut it down,…and start it all up again with a new name.”
Bourne supremacy, IIRC.
Admiral Rogers warned Trump about bugs and retired soon thereafter. There is no way the Admiral could shutdown all of NSA, even if he wanted to.
He could have spoken up publicly and saved President Trump from a four year inquisition of the FBI and DOJ trying to frame the President of the United States for a crime that never even happened.
But he didn’t?
it never stopped. don’t kid yourself. It very likely increased. the temptation for power and abuse is too great.
The Federal Government is much too large and needs to be taken back to zero and any increase about that needs proper justification supported by facts and built in limits. Supervisors are needed that will terminate the law and rule violators, and ban them from government work forever, including their family members. Political Appointees need to be limited to a very few who are evaluated yearly by a panel of citizens picked by some random process that eliminates bias, and the ability to terminate their appointment based on facts. Or, “Burn it all down.”
Perhaps it is we Deplorables that need to burn it all down so we can BUILD BACK BETTER!
That IS our either/or coarse.
Either PDJT and an ARMY of MAGA patriots charge into D.C. and tear it down, branch and root, and MAGA,..or…
We accept that A) we have NOTHING to lose B) since the laws and rules don’t apply to THEM, they don’t apply to US, either and we just “have at it”.
This is why 2024 IS the decisive battle,THEIR goal IS the destruction of America, while OURS is MAGA, if its B),…THEY win I will do EVERYTHING I can to work for A) as hard as I can.
And term limits, too!
We must be assured that in the future, any and all corrupt compromised members of our government must retire immediately after their term expires and leave government altogether. Permanently…….long before they fade into states of demented imbecility.
We must also have rigid anti-lobby legislation which is strictly enforced.
this can’t be fixed. it must be starved to death and we must start form scratch. and we don’t need to wait until this one dies to do so.
You can reduce the total tax rate of the people by 50% asap, and then only fund essential parts of government. Aim to fire 1 million of the 2.5 million federal bureacrats in DC.
Who polices the police? Who polices the thought police?
The Origins of the Thought Police—and Why They Scare Us
Fee, November 15, 2019
https://fee.org/articles/the-origins-of-the-thought-police-and-why-they-scare-us/
“Most people, if the pressure is sufficient, will eventually say “2+2=5” just to escape punishment. That’s exactly what Winston Smith does at the end of 1984, after all. Yet Orwell also leaves readers with a glimmer of hope.
“Being in a minority, even a minority of one, did not make you mad,” Orwell wrote. “There was truth and there was untruth, and if you clung to the truth even against the whole world, you were not mad.”
In other words, the world may be mad, but that doesn’t mean you have to be.”
When I was learning some programming skills back when a good university had a computer, we demonstrated that 2+2=5 for large values of 2 and small values of 5. Example: 2.4 + 2.4 = 4.8. If all factors are rounded to the nearest whole number, there you have it.
On the serious side, “Sanctify them through the truth, your word is truth,” still stands. Always has, always will.
In every litter of Wolf pups (or dog puppies) there is ONE Alpha.
An alphas brain is simply, genetically WIRED differently, the differences can be detected and tested for at an early age, and as adults every dog will immediately recognise an alpha.
Dogs are actually, in many ways far more “like” humans, than chimpanzees or other primates.
About 10-20 percent, in each generation are sceptical of “established norms” and are innately non conformist, rebellious, inquistive and defiant of authority.
Thing Gallileo, think Manafort, think PDJT, KL or Tina Peters.
Perhaps all of their amassing of massive DNS Databases, and gene manipulation thru the vax, is to identify and eliminate these rebellious free thinker “alphas” from the gene pool?
Now this is a conspiracy theory with the definite ability to become true fact!
You lost me at Manafort. I believe he is unparalleled at convention management, but that is where it ends. I am, as I told a good friend when he told me two years ago that RDS is false opposition, that I was open to reviewing the evidence.
Think maybe you’re giving these worms to much credit for being able to think at all. They more closely resemble rabid packs. Having raised Dobermans for 30+ years it becomes evident fairly early that dogs especially act differently in a pack than as individuals
Does it seem safe to say the overwhelming number of the 10,000 plus govt employees doing these millions of personal searches without search warrants are democrats?
Would democrats let republican govt employees do this?
Self evident, isn’t it?
This is wrong. They know it.
They *KNOW* it….
A simple answer regarding whether or not the DC trash pawing through everyone’s personal data are Dimwastes, is that there is only unparty power. These pieces of crap don’t care about political parties as long as they’re protected inside the government bubble and are still being paid. Once inside the swamp, parties don’t matter except for the agency figure heads.
Referring to the DC elites as “pieces of crap” might be incorrect.
Crap, was once something tasty that had value.
Those in power in DC had neither.
And how many are drawn to the ilk of Rep Adam Schiff?
The Democrats and most Republicans are at war with us; the ordinary American citizen who pays their bills. They don’t CARE that it’s wrong, they believe they are “special” and better than we are.
The only thing either side would do is make talking points of it. WE have to FORCE them to do the right thing. They are all scumbags and will slither out of doing the right thing unless forced into it.
Kevin McCarthy is Exhibit #1. I rest my case.
Comey and Mueller were bith lifelong registered Republicans, …
In the Swamp, they do NOT think like this, greg1, not even close.
They party together in Georgetown, both “R” and “D”s, with complete interaction and comity, and shares “worldview”.
WE “the American public” are THE ENEMY, and THEY are comrades and share a common worldview.
R and D means NOTHING in DC.
Comey said he was a Communist.
Corney convinced me of that in 2016 Max.
TRUTH!
The Uniparty is comprised of Democrats, Republicans and Independents.
1984 + 40 = 2024
We have arrived at their destination for us EARLY!!! And just like that (snap)…privacy was gone.
“It is, Sir, the people’s government, made for the people, made by the people, and answerable to the people. The people of the United States have declared that this Constitution shall be the supreme law.”

Yes.. I know I’m a nobody.. but been saying this for a while. The gov and military have been doing this at an expanded rate..
Why do you think it was sooooo important to get everyone back on Twitter… wakie-wakie
“I told you so doesn’t have that nice new ring to it anymore… But it still fits just fine..” TB
Exactly. Made similar comments right after Musk took over. Makes it easier for them with so many on one platform.
I don’t KNOW if Musk is controlled op, but to me it doesn’t matter, really.
Fox didn’t WANT to fire TC.
What they WANTED, was for TC to toe the company line, like Hannity, etc.
The fired TC because they HAD to.
THEY, did not WANT the whole “twitter files” to come out; THEY HAD NO CHOICE.
Hence, any “limited hangout” is REACTIONARY, that is its a reaction, its NOT done unless circumstances FORCE it.
Any time WE FORCE them to react, WE are on OFFENCE, and THEY are on DEFENCE.
And battles and wars are NOT won by a side that is consistently forced by their opponent into defence.
THEY are NOT winning
Dutch, running late. Was announced today that requests to ‘flag’ or ‘screen’ whatever the f#^* you want to call it is higher proportionally that before Mush took over.
Mush is DS! Trust me on this one, brother, just like I trust you sometimes.
I hear that. I never had a personal twitter account but made one just for the election. After the 2016 election I closed it down and dabbled with a few other SM sites. I spent a good amount of time cleaning up mewe of all the BS and coin ads. Made a bit of a name for myself however it was so full of feds I had to cut out a few times. It was like j6 every day before it even happened.. I kept pointing the feds out but no luck. Most were DeScantus supporters and/or worse. There were a few rooms worth the time but it was few and far between and they were constantly attacked by cucks and fakes. I was hoping a smaller less used SM site would be free of them but it was quite the opposite. Back when things started to turn I advised them all to stop going on twitter.. that it was an obvious trap but the feds in the room always talked it up. It is what it was. you can lead a horse to water….
Everyone is not on twitter.
Have never been on any social media except fakebook to download some family photos then terminated the account. Used an old email account I haven’t used in 10 years to setup the account then terminated that email account as well
I think they meant all the people who got their accounts suspended a couple years back because they didn’t March in adherence to the approved version of Group Think.
Elsewhere I’ve read that less that 20% of American adults have a Twitter account and of that small number less than ten percent of them ever tweet anything. Ninety percent are lurkers.
I believe that the small number of Americans who actually actively participate on Twitter is primarily, but of course not exclusively, made up of high IQ insecure individuals who thrive upon endless stark raving debates in a never ending addictive quest to prove one another wrong.
There are many Americans who know not one person who follows Twitter.
Recall how they used to catalog all Tweets at the Library of Congress? Or so they said, and then they changed that policy to be more selective– this was sometime before or after the 2016 election.
Upon that policy change, & there were News stories re., it was reported they’d hired some group to supposedly go in & filter through the storage.
What was odd, & why it stuck with me… they specifically noted the group/individuals doing so were “Chinese”.
Knowing what we do now, I gotta wonder what was that all about??
Sounds like our digital world is ripe for a massive emp or cme. On March 12 the one controlling the sun sent out a massive cme directed away from the earth. Could be a warning shot.
People don’t realize how close we ALL came (everyone on earth) to being sent back to 1823 in the blink of an eye on March 12th.

What a glorious day that would have been… nature leveling the playing field is beyond poetic.
“Burn it all” (to the ground).
And salt the ground underneath it!!!
Now it doesn’t actually matter if CONgress makes it illegal for the govt to do it.
Private corporations own all this data. And they’ll sell it to the highest bidder.
Want to start a company selling the info your spouse is texting to others? Want to see if they’ve searched for poison? Divorce? Pictures?
It’s a multi billion dollar industry that right now the government holds a monopoly on.
Want to buy info on which phones text which people? Where was your spouse last night? Let me check the geolocation info. Yeah… it’s all there.
Who’s chatting about pewpepews? Etc. ALL there.
Who visits CTH 100 times a day? Me!!
Interesting take; not at all beyond the realm of possibility that at least some of those searches were done at the behest of corporations or even foreign governments, considering whatever US government entities are involved in, it’s usually about money.
If you are one of those “contractors” how hard is it to monitor a small team of lawyers, involved in Mergers/Aquisitions, and get inside info in order to make a fortune in stock investments?
Just one example.
It works both ways. Far too many focused on the visuals of 2000 mules, and missed that TTV initially got the cell phone “geolocation” tracking info, and only after analysing that, did they sue to get the videos, KNOWING what they would show.
By releasing those videos, AND making public how they got the info, they effectively insured THEY will have to significantly alter THEIR ‘game plan’ for any envelope collecting, stuffing and insertion operation, in 2024.
So much for those who state, without any attempts to support it “NOTHING HAS CHANGED, and so no sense in voting, as they will just steal it, again.”
“Approximately 30%….” I think it is “at least 30% minimum.”
Why? For future control/coercion of any and all ‘dissenters’ and non-Uniparty members.
What did the Bolsheviks do to the educated, professional & Intelligentsia classes after the Russian Revolution / Civil War? That is what they have planned for us!!!’
Pay attention closely: every single American citizen is being categorized for ‘future’ purposes. Take it to the bank!
You/We the People are ALL enemies of the new STATE!
This is how they consolidate control, by murdering the intelligent class so future generations won’t have that intelligence.
There’s so much corruption throughout the government now, they can’t even keep up with it all. So intertwined and interlaced, they don’t even know who to arrest and charge. They have a taste for all the spying now. They’ll never let go. The entire government body would have to be thrown out – baby and bath water – to ever straighten this out now.
PDT called it a swamp for a reason
Yes. And they all have social media profiles where they exchange cat gifs wtih Ma and Pa Kettle, pretending to be real people.
Everything you see online is staged with crisis actors, from the news to the people making comments on message boards. Signature reduction. They have turned the internet into the world’s largest pachinko parlor game where real people are the ball filtered between and surrounded by feds pretending to be ordinary people. All to keep dangerous ideas from spreading.
I will not comply. I am a free speech pirate. When censored or banned, I only come back stronger. You want to know why I can do that? Because once upon a time after I was injured trucking, I LEARNED TO CODE.
Free speech pirates are legion.
We do not forgive.
We do not forget.
Expect us…
How many of those were done by the IRS?
As of 2020, we cant vote the cancer out and they know it. It simply would not be happening anymore if they knew we could. The state run msm cannot be relied upon any longer as an effective enough tool to manipulate election results. The composition of officials in Congress should look much different. Lots of installed occupants.
Trump would still be President and much of this would be fixed by now. Fake pandemic was the last resort to preserve the draining wetlands.
After 2020, “drop and roll” is off the table; it is not an option, and we know that “swamping the vote” is the way to KEEP it off the table.
Notice in Maracopa County, in 2022 they DID NOT use “drop and roll”, because we have effectively taken it off the table.
We have now ALSO taken off the table, by letting them know we know, changing zipcodes just before mailing out ballots, so that they can easily get a large quantity of the “raw material” they need for a massive, centralised envelope stuffing operation.
And, WE have let them know we know and can easily expose/disrupt such a large, centralised envelope stuffing operation.
And, there is more. Point is 2020 forced their hand, and they exposed ALL of their methods.
As always in warfare, WE have developed countermeasures, and NOT by relying on the RNC.
THEY will HAVE to come up with NEW ways to cheat in 2024, and WE are already developing countermeasured.
Respectfully, anyone who thinks the battle over election integrity is over, and they won, has no understanding of warfare, and is being driven by emotion, instead of being guided by logic,…a fool to put it bluntly.
IMHO
Im telling it like it is. In other words stop pretending and look for solutions based on reality.
It shouldnt make anyone feel like giving up. If it does then good riddance. “Voting Harder”, as I think you mentioned in the past prior to 2022 will help a little bit but it wont change the outcome in the age of the New Normal. Ive thought about many possible scenarios and while every effort you mentioned above does help, it wont change the outcome. We are being held hostage to an unelected regime. I dont think everyone has acknowledged this fact yet. They are still thinking Politics. Its way past politics. We need to fight fire with fire.
Didn’t Wray recently testify there had been significant improvements? He should immediately be canned. Hard to believe all that training he promised didn’t fix it. /s.
Watch the gang of eight do nothing. They do not provide oversight, they provide cover. Shut it down.
Wray is evil. Please understand that.
Oh… starve the beast!

The Gestapo will eventually turn on itself. They won’t be able to resist. When that happens it will destroy itself. It is just a matter of time.
Interesting theory, like turf wars.
Some think the FED is in a war with WEF already, that by raising interest rates it undermines Mr “Eat-Zee-Bugs”Euro-banker financials like their dollar trade game.
It would seem to me that either the number of people authorized to request surveillance searches is much larger than 10,000 or the number of searches claimed to have been done was altered to include at least 2 million totally insignificant searches just to make the number of egregious sound better at only 30%. I suspect both numbers are wrong. If 10,000 people did 3,400,000 searches in one year, this means that each authorized person did an average of 340 surveillance searches in that year. I find it hard to believe that one Government slug can get 340 FISA warrants in a year. This is a nightmare that has come true for any of us who opposed the Patriot Act when it was passed over 20 years ago.
There is no doubt this kind of FISA abuse has been going on as a matter of course since the day the Obama/Holder apparatchik became the Executive Branch of our Goobermint. This means many in the intelligence apparatchik were working hard to set up this process long before the Obama gang began its conquest.
Come to think of it, that smell in the air is a cesspool and not a swamp!
They are not getting FISA warrants except in very few cases, they are just doing the NSA searches and doing whatever they want with the information.
Also remember that FISA warrants are not like regular search warrants. The FISA court can issue a “warrant” for the data of a whole country if they want to. For example, if NSA wants to spy on Russia, they need FISA approval, and FISA will likely give them carte blanche authority to scoop up everything. If NSA wants to spy on a close ally like Britain, the FISA court will probably limit what they can collect to some extent, but still allow them to collect a lot of stuff on people suspected of no wrong doing.
It works the same way with domestic FISA warrants. They likely aren’t as broad as foreign warrants, but still much broader than typical search warrants. The PRISM program which scooped up call metadata of every American was approved by the FISA court. Let us not forget that. We also must remember that NSA has several different “authorities” under which they collect. FISA is just one.
And to make it worse, no one is allowed to know what powers FISA has or hasn’t granted NSA when it comes to domestic surveillance. (Without Snowden, we would have never known FISA had authorized NSA to collect data on millions of Americans). No one outside of the FISA court, the President, some top advisors, and the intel chiefs know the full extent of what the court has approved. To me this system is broken and unconstitutional. You cannot have a secret court issuing warrants on Americans, especially “general” warrants that cover millions of Americans at once. General warrants are specifically banned by the 4th amendment. The 4th makes it VERY clear that warrants have to be specific to the “items to be seized” and “the places to be searched.” Simply “going fishing” to see what one can find was NOT the intent of the 4th amendment. The founders would be horrified if they knew the government was spying on millions of people under a general warrant.
The irony is that FISA was passed in the late 1970’s on the heels of the Church Committee hearings. The Church Committee was setup to expose all the domestic surveillance that CIA/FBI/NSA had done illegally in the 1960’s and early 70’s (you can watch the hearings on Youtube – it’s fascinating). Congress vowed to pass legislation to stop future illegal spying and the secret FISA court is what they gave us.
Their reasoning was that the intel agencies had no oversight from any outside body, so they figured a court with judges who oversaw everything would be better. The problem is the court itself has no oversight and works totally in secret. I am fine with extreme secrecy when it comes to foreign surveillance, but I have a real problem with it when it comes to domestic surveillance – especially when they are issuing “general” warrants for the entire population. Domestic warrants should be issued by regular judges, period. Just as they were before FISA was established.
Our intel agencies were founded with the sole purpose to spy on FOREIGN countries, not Americans. Somehow over time, mission creep has set in (as it always does) and they have begun spying on Americans wholesale. 911 was the major catalyst, but it happened before that as well. And neither party seems to want to stop it. One of the few things Reps and Dems agree on is that we need more domestic surveillance. Just check the voting tally when reauthorization of FISA comes up. Almost all R’s and D’s vote in favor every time. It’s infuriating.
“This is admitted and current to RIGHT NOW, yet people are worried about possible ‘vaccination passports’ or ‘digital currencies’ or ‘social credit scores’ sometime in the future? Have we totally lost connection to the reality of our current condition?”
“Lost connection to… reality” is correct.
The entire security state apparatus being built exploits the prevailing “safetyism” that took over America. Fearfulness, seeking anxiety relief and security and protection.
Irrational fear of infectious bugs (forced inoculation and vax passports). Seeking heightened monetary system security (central bank digital currencies). Seeking protection from conflict caused by others not conforming with the collective (social credit scores).
Q: What gender is the primary locus of such?
A: Same gender that become dominant in America after Pandora’s Box was opened with third-wave feminism in the 1970’s.
Safetyism, yes, or put another way, evil overuse of the preventative principle to stampede the public into a fateful decision.

another word usage I’ve learned to hate – along with equity and cohort
There is nothing normal or recognizable about any of these deceptive, pretentious tyrants.
And yet none of those people will be removed from their positions. None of their bosses will be removed. In fact, I bet some of their bosses are being re-assigned with a raise for doing such a good job as I type this statement.
I’ll say it again… for the umpteenth time.
We’re past the point that the Federal Republic still exists.
Disgusting! The breadth of the criminal activity in government is astounding!
What more corruption. Individual rights to privacy and first amendment is apparently nullified by government agencies. It’s probably far worse than reported. So just multiply this times ten, or a hundred, why not a thousand. Funny these government employees know more about legal law abiding American citizens, but they have no clue where illegal immigrants are located.
Oh, but he says in his report:
The overarching conclusion from this series of reports is that transparency, and effective internal and external independent oversight, are necessary to ensure that the tremendous authority held by the Department’s investigators and prosecutors to surveil Americans is used in accordance with applicable laws, court orders, and the Constitution”
Nice of him to mention that. Since he knows that why isn’t it being done? Huh? Did they really need a “series of reports” to figure that out? Based on their own communication, they are apparently really stupid, or incompetent, or criminal. They get to choose their favorite descriptor there…
That reminds me of a report I read last week out of Portland (OR)–they had launched a commission to do a study about how what the needed to know about the people who died in the heat wave two years ago – when it was 114 for several days in a rows and people who were in high rise apts who didn’t open the windows (or couldn’t) and which didn’t have AC…died.
The results of their study included these stunning revelations:
PEOPLE SOMETIMES OPENED WINDOWS, AND THAT HELPED SOME.
WHEN IT’S REALLY HOT AND YER GONNA DIE, IT IS GOOD TO OPEN THE WINDOWS.
Seriously, not a single one of the 4-5 reported conclusions and recommendations were any more significant than that. So not only are individual citizens too stupid and ignorant to stay alive from day to day, but the people who do the studies on why they died are just as stupid.
And don’t start with the “Oh, Sharon, you’re being too harsh–some people really aren’t able to walk or open a window on their own….” THAT is NOT the problem. The stupid is going to keep killing people.
That’s of “public reports”. How many millions of searches were done that have not been made “public”? The FISA Court needs to be shut down immediately. But the members of Congress will continue to do nothing but talk about it.
They’re all compromised. Remember Julian Assange insisted that were the full truth about Washington DC to become public knowledge, that fully 97% of the politicians would be taken out.
Until election fraud is eradicated we cannot expect Congress to be filled with anyone other than compromised blackmailed individuals who following orders issued by our foreign enemies.
May God have mercy upon anybody anywhere in this country who is not corrupt or in any manner compromised!
What an Evil time to be alive!
At first glance, thought the above title read ” OMG” — after reading it, still think it fits.

Don’t worry. The Republicans will save us.

The Democrats are protected by Satan’s minions.
The Republicans have more reasons to want to change.

Former Trump Official Peter Navarro Handcuffed and Put in Leg Irons by FBI, Joe Biden State Police Force
“Department of Justice filed a civil lawsuit against Navarro to compel him to hand over the emails after he refused to do so without first being granted immunity.
Lawyers for Navarro alleged the Justice Department was using the Presidential Records Act, which requires that official White House records be preserved, as a way to gather evidence against him”
and
“Separately, Navarro has been ordered to stand trial on criminal contempt of Congress charges for refusing to cooperate with the Jan. 6 committee
after a judge denied his bid to delay the proceedings so he could promote his new book.
A judge, however, moved in January to delay the trial for months.
Navarro has pleaded not guilty to the charges.”

Our FedGov is FUBAR…
Who the hell in this country is watching the watchers???
Huh?
How long have we been a nation of peeping toms?
This is outrageous….
A number of years ago there was talk amongst the right of a massive fusion center that was being built in Utah.
Sundance, if you have not read this, here’s an article from 2012 https://www.wired.com/2012/03/ff-nsadatacenter/
Of the 10,000 (probably an under estimate) I’m sure some are from the Post Office, IRS, Department of Education, BATF, Public Library and the EPA.
That would be my first guess. Kinda ceeepy how they out it in Mormon country, and how they are a main recruiting ground for CIA new hires.
And how Mormons have an intense interest in family trees and ancestry for some reason, I never learned why.
Their prepping makes sense, maybe they have even better knowledge on why it’s appropriate.
CIA wants its new recruits susceptible to brainwashing, so they target young Mormons who grew up in a cult like environment.
Revulsion is what I feel and the hypocrisy is choking me. To think they want to persecute a 21 year old
for disseminating classified documents….
This won’t end until hangings start.
Every Republican voter must make his or her vote contingent on their representative and senator making a sworn declaration to abolish FISA and make this publically available on the party website.
I grew up believing in our judicial system. I grew up believing that the American government valued freedom, liberty and justice. The past 15 years have proved that my beliefs were naive and simply wrong. We have a judicial system that even the Soviet Socialists would have been proud to take credit for. The Socialism that has invaded our country has taken our judicial system from one which bore allegiance to the Constitution to one which bears allegiance to the Communist Manifesto.
Now I understand the obsession of Biden with the Russians. He simply doesn’t want them to reveal that he is following their playbook to the letter and that he learned at the feet of the master when he was VP.
Believe in the America our Founding Fathers wanted for us.
“In order for these search queries to take place, there has to be a housing facility to capture it.
Where is all of this electronic data being stored?”
My thoughts too, that is a lot of Terabytes…then I remembered reading about a large data center being built by the USG, I thought it was only about 4-5 years ago, but it was all the way back in 2013…of course the Obama admin.
Here is a headline from an NPR article from June 10, 2013,
Amid Data Controversy, NSA Builds Its Biggest Data Farm
Here is a link to a more recent article about this NSA Data Center;
The Utah Data Center Covers More Than 1 Million Square Feet, And It Holds A Massive Amount Of Info
The 1.5 Million-Square-Foot Utah Data Center Stores Public Data (onlyinyourstate.com)
Here you go SD (from the article),
According to the NSA, the data collected and stored here includes text messages, phone calls, website visits, Internet searches, emails, credit card information, travel information, legal documents, financial information, and health records.
I am shocked, SHOCKED I tell you!
Not really…
Obama Expands Surveillance Powers on His Way Out
JANUARY 12, 2017
https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2017/01/obama-expands-surveillance-powers-his-way-out
With mere days left before President-elect Donald Trump takes the White House, President Barack Obama’s administration just finalized rules to make it easier for the nation’s intelligence agencies to share unfiltered information about innocent people.
New rules issued by the Obama administration under Executive Order 12333 will let the NSA—which collects information under that authority with little oversight, transparency, or concern for privacy—share the raw streams of communications it intercepts directly with agencies including the FBI, the DEA, and the Department of Homeland Security, according to a report today by the New York Times.
FISA court chided the FBI for sharing NSA data on Americans with outside contractors

NSA’s Utah Data Center

Where is the asteroid, oh Lord?
The way to expose this is to get Meta, Amazon, and Alphabet in a street fight over who gets to host the NSA databases and gets the most gubmint funding.
I hope they enjoyed me.

So with lawlessness like this we are to believe there are fair elections?With lawlessness like this we can and must believe the J6 committee? With lawlessness like this we should believe Joe isn’t taking bribes?With lawlessness like this we are to believe the border is closed? I could go like this all day. Capture these keystrokes ass wipes.
We’re good. Totally trustworthy people – the whole lot of them.
Imagine what a true opposition party could do with this revelation, they could generate national outrage and actually fix this problem. But we have the GOP, so nothing will be done, the criminality will continue. Another day that ends in “Y.”
Of COARSE they have such a comprehensive survellence system in place.
The “Total control” they hope to get, FROM a CBDC system, REQUIRES they have such a system; without it, CBDC system is only what it will be “sold” to the public as; “just a more efficient system for handling transactions.
Its only with such a system of MONITORING, that they can then say “Oh, you went on THIS website, posted THIS comment, said THIS to your friend in a conversation, text or email, purchased this unapproved product, AND SO we are,..docking your acct. ,..freezing your account for this period of time, or in extreme cases ‘disappearing’ you, by making it impossible to engage in commerce.
Its a TWO PART system for absolute control of the population.
Without this survellence system, CBDC’s do NOT give them the control.
Without CBDC’s, this system DOES NOT give them the control, although it gives them SOME increased control.
J6 is an example of SOME Control; with CBDC, along with this survellence system, they would have been able to insure there were no J6 rally’s, at all.
With this two part system, they CAN (they believe) “finally” and completely nullify 2A; what use is a gun, to resist Govt. tyranny, when they have the power to monitor everything you say, do, think AND the ability to restrict or cut off your access to commerce at any time?
They can use the power of this two part system, to destroy “the rebel alliance” in short order;
TCT, TGP, IF, ALL “alt-right media, GONE.
And, with lists of all who lurk or comment here, “let the targeting begin”; just as THEY are STILL arresting (on average) 4 people a week, and charging them for J6, they can target all viewers of “alt-right” media as seditionists, and they don’t need to bother with TRIALS; just as an “administrative law” matter, shut off their access to commerce.
Respectfully, Sundance its a TWO-PART recipe for absolute tyranny, and the recipe only gives them ABSOLUTE CONTROL with BOTH PARTS.
Survelliance is the backbone of the Chinese Social Credit Score.
CBDC will be the icing on the cake. At that point, the government will know and control everything.
The Uniparty’s disregard for balance of government power, as evidence by their ruthless drive for aggrandizement of the Executive Branch as well as the unabashed defense of the Executive from scrutiny and consequence, is evidence of how so many of our political representatives (both Rs & Ds) project a solidarity with the ruling class against the ordinary citizen. I say, “Bravo, Matt Gaetz!” Your inquiring mind and determined voice demonstrates that one can be successful in spelunking for hidden treasure within the Government.
