If you understand how the Dept of Homeland Security and FBI access and ultimately control the content of social media platforms, specifically the public opinion square of Twitter, then you can start to understand a much bigger aspect to this hidden court case.
KEY CONTEXT – During the Twitter File releases, existing DHS/FBI guidance controlled what the Twitter legal team was allowed to share with researchers. The Twitter File group gave Twitter search terms, and the Twitter team entered the search words/phrases and generated results. However, the Twitter legal team then had to filter that information against the instructions of DHS/FBI to determine what the research group was allowed to know; ultimately, what was allowed to become public information.
This reality stimulates the question: where/when did that prior guidance from DHS/FBI originate? The answer to that question is discovered in a little-known lawsuit by Twitter against the U.S. government.
Please do not overlook the dates here.
Back in 2014, Twitter sued the government, “seeking to make public the number of times the FBI requested user information from the company in connection with national security investigations.” {link} Why? Because during the Obama administration, Twitter “was blocked from publishing the quantity of requests in its biannual online “Transparency Report,” claiming the government unlawfully restrained its speech.” {link}
In essence, DHS/FBI were weaponizing Twitter data and demanding information on specific users, specific inquiry about issues of greatest concern to the Obama administration. The Obama administration then told Twitter they were not permitted to talk about their demands due to “national security” issues. Twitter was barred from telling the public what was happening.
Keep in mind, the lawsuit by Twitter against the Obama administration (DHS/FBI) was in 2014, so the demands from government were ‘prior to’. Now, does my prior outlining of “Jack’s Magic Coffee Shop” start to make more sense? [Keep in mind, I received a ridiculous subpoena for writing about this.]
The Twitter lawsuit against the government wound its way through the lower courts and various levels of appeal. Each lower court ruled against the release of the information, forbidding Twitter from releasing the information. Why? Because the executive branch, in this example Obama DHS/FBI, have unilateral authority to determine what constitutes a “national security” issue. If DHS/FBI says the issue is a “national security” threat, the judicial branch is not prepared to challenge that definition.
Ultimately the lawsuit ended up at the doors of the Supreme Court, and the Supreme Court refused to engage the question thereby supporting the rulings of the lower court. You can read about THAT PART HERE. However, there’s another layer to this story that needs to be accurately understood, because this deference by the judicial branch to the executive branch is part of how the system is weaponized.
You might remember this 11th circuit court of appeals ruling against Trump; it essentially encapsulates the issue:
These rulings are essentially correct, as following the process within a constitutional republic. However, here’s the rub. The weaponized Deep State are using this deference, as a tool in their Lawfare arsenal.
If the Deep State can unilaterally determine what constitutes “national security,” and if the judicial branch is not going to review or challenge those determinations, then the executive branch can target people, target institutions, and/or conduct domestic surveillance while hiding their conduct behind the shield of national security.
That’s exactly what the weaponized institutions (DHS, DOJ, FBI) have been doing.
That’s exactly the process that Barack Obama and Eric Holder created.
That’s exactly the motive for Eric Holder creating the DOJ National Security Division (DOJ-NSD).
Now, can you see the bigger issue, as presented by the Twitter case against government, that was just highlighted by the Supreme Court decision not to get involved.
The DOJ-NSD is the targeting mechanism for corrupt interests in our government to target us. The Dept of Homeland Security and the FBI unite in the process and provide the results to the DOJ-NSD for action against the targets. The collaboration then uses “national security” as the technique to stop those being abused by the targeting system from ever finding out, and the judicial branch cannot provide oversight.
Hopefully, this helps people put the scale of the ‘weaponization of government’ issue into a context.
That’s how they are carrying out Lawfare. That’s why there’s no process to impede them within the ordinary structures of constitutional protection.
Their ability to use “national security” as the justification for all of the corrupt targeting and surveillance is ultimately the source of power for the Fourth Branch of Government.
Real question. What would be a process to impede them ‘outside’ of the ordinary?
Congress has proved such a level of corruption that they would never repeal or dismantle the Patriot act or DHS, FBI, DOJ or any of it as the bureaus like IRS and EPA are armed to the teeth against the people. Trying to understand what could be done.
Tribunals.
But who forms a ‘tribunal’? Military? The top brass seems up to their eyeballs going along with regime. Who has the authority to do that?
Sadly all I have been able to figure out are tribunals that involve the Supreme Court which hardly inspires confidence lately or article III with judges appointed by president and confirmed by senate.
Guess it’s above my pay grade to figure out.
Gets back to Devin Nunes’ question – “Who watches the watchers?”
What agency can actually investigate and bring charges against a corrupt DOJ?
Secret Service? DHS? US Marshals? It’s almost as if Trump would have to form a group like The Untouchables.
And if there was an investigation, would Congress impeach Trump for starting it?
UGH! You have nailed it, I suspect.
Think outside the box. The answer is already found in the dormant Militia clauses of Article 1. A militia unit does not have to be local defense. It can be whatever Congress decides it should be. Congress has the authority today to do all of this, per the Constitution.
Simply create an investigative body under the militia authority of Congress and the 50 States, arm it properly, give it the resources needed for this mission, and smartly send the cases to a new Article III court system to avoid the existing corrupted system.
The Constitution gives Congress the power to create these lower courts. In this case, the new “honor courts” would try these cases outside the existing judicial system, much like the military court system. You can even arrest every single Federal judge, excepting SCOTUS.
The guilty will complain vociferously, saying this isn’t how it’s done, nor is it fair. Do you really care?
The problem is solved in less than 18 months.
Any questions?
But does Congress have the courage or are they as corrupt and blackmailed?
Sure they will, impeach trump, for anything as was demonstrated in his 1st term and later.
The Supreme court cannot hear the case, They are part of the treason.
We the people
Yes, but this only happens after a French Revolution-type event.
………and it punished both the bad and good in the process.
In short absolute power cannot be trusted to anyone, even the most virtous.
Concentrated power is not the answer.
Only limited and government divided at all levels can. As Jefferson wrote power should begin at the soil and work its way up, not the other way around. In my mind, that means from the precincts to the cities to the counties to the States, to the United States of America, to the World.
It’s getting harder and harder to find any “good” ones in government service.
Given the corruption of power, it’s only a matter of time before even the most virtuous falter.
I have felt just a taste of this power firsthand. It was hard to give back. But I’m much better for it like Sam.
Military tribunals are the stuff of fascism, communism and Banana ‘Republics’.
….and yet the Leader of El Salvador has cleaned up the country in record time. So much so that illegal immigrants to the USA have returned.
Perhaps this is the best way?
PDJT wanted to shift manufacturing from the CCP (our enemy) to Mexico and South America.
See this is how PDJT sees the world, punish your global enemies, reward those who would be your friends.
We seem to hit two out of three of those qualifications.
Let the tribunals loose, guided by the Constitution, human decency, and Christian morality. The sooner they begin their grisly work, the sooner this cancer is permanently removed from American society.
You need a declaration of martial law to try citizens by drumhead courts martial.
You know they have no respect for the American People when they name acts of bureaucratic preservation and perversion, the Patriot Act. The Act of wanton, unchecked, spending on themselves and their insiders, the Inflation Reduction Act.
Sick Phooks.
“Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.”
― John Adams
Easy: make a law that requires the doj to review “national security” claims for disallowing foia requests.
Allowing the DOJ to review anything would keep us in the same place we are in. They would just allow the FOIA rejection. The DOJ is apart.ofnthebsame.national security apparatus the redacts the incriminating info
Is this that part of the joke about killing all the lawyers?
The swamp is full of lawyers, lawyers who become judges, judges move up the court ladder to the Supreme court.
sigh.
Is the answer to the county’s problems in banning lawyers from government?
I was told when a lawyer can’t make a living litigating worth a damn, he becomes a government lawyer. They get paid regardless. lol
And most senators and congressmen are lawyers too so they just cover for each other.
I never thought I would say this, but the press is going to be ahead of the lawyers. Default back to the messenger joke and then option the lawyer one.
Congress needs to step up. A different President could also clean house. But as with so many political issues, the courts are NOT the place to fight it out.
If the fight is not to be in a court of LAW is the fight to be in the streets? The point of equal treatment under the Law is to avoid a royal battle of mob violence.
What course exactly are you suggesting, perhaps I misunderstand your meaning.
There’s also the court of public opinion and action, and some gentle readers have referred to non-violent movements by citizens in other countries to overturn or invalidate undesired regimes.
We can discuss the value of public opinion and sentiment and analyze how the Communists have used it to indoctrinate and motivate the public to facilitate integration of its regime into our culture. IMO, they’ve been very effective.
JFK said it best.
“Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable.”
Hopefully, it doesn’t come to this.
o
Not ‘any’ President, but one that is willing to fire everyone in DC and start over again.
….and then dare Congress to ‘impeach’ him over executing the law.
The executive should only have those under his command willing to execute the laws of the land.
Exhibit A is the complete lawlessness of those in charge of the immigration system.
As deeply corrupt and nurtured as the courts seem to be, pretty unlikely every correct action a president would take to wipe out the swamp by legal means would be overturned by compromised judges.
Look, we are in different times. In short, the gloves need to come off.
Under executive powers, we are at war, with the CCP/WEF, controlling 2/3rds of our government. They even brag about it, in many YouTube videos.
Thus they should all be declared terrorists and sent home without pay pending their trial. Using the same measure that was granted to those patriots who ‘peacefully’ protested the illegitimate election.
President Lincoln also had to deal with traitors to their oaths and the US Constitution.
We are already a nation at war via stolen election, are we not?
Look we need to get out of this legal this or that, and into the realm satan’s useful idiots operate within.
Than you need a new and better court system. Congress could create that in a single day of legislating.
Congress is compromised.
Let’s see.
The SCOTUS wouldn’t hear questions about possible voter fraud in 2020 because ” nobody had voted yet”, then refused to hear questions about sketchy votes because “the election already had been held”.
Perchance a justice doesn’t vote with the Left, then she or he gets threatened by a mob. The cops stand down.
Our army won’t protect us from invasion because of posse comitatus. (So why have an army?) The top brass are woke. The unwoke brass have been purged.
The Congress on both sides like the Deep State and have benefitted financially.
The media is owned by the Left. They lie with impunity.
All bureaus are on the Left.
Congress LET this be done so that they would have the GOODS on EACH OTHER…think about this for a minute…IF the dems had some snarly event on a Repub then the Repub has some snarly event they cancel each other out…HOWEVER, the PTB understood this so they went and got the MOST corrupt CONGRESSMEN on BOTH sides of the aisle…
I have always thought that there was something in the background with people making these choices that didn’t jive with what I was seeing…
NOTE: I have spent 30yrs in the military and from Vietnam to parts unknown and when I read something like Sundance has exposed…then the ONLY outcome is to destroy said system!!!!
Question is: HOW TO DO IT WITHOUT DESTROYING THE COUNTRY & THE CONSTITUTION!!!
Easy, fire DC.
They are altogether parasites. The GDP will increase by +20% overnight.
The States, as imperfect as some are, can handle it until we reconstitute a much smaller Federal Government.
Then let’s roll out the US Constitution and figure out what actual roles the Federal Government should ‘legally’ be doing going forward.
I’m pretty sure mass survivance of dirt to control powerful people won’t be found.
I asked “What would be a process to impede them ‘outside’ of the ordinary?” but you managed to go to the heart of it.
Well said. Thank you.
The question remains “HOW TO DO IT WITHOUT DESTROYING THE COUNTRY & THE CONSTITUTION!!!”
We REALLY need that question answered.
It’s the same nuts and bolts type of dilemma that confronted our founding fathers before the revolution.
They tried dealing with the British in the courts first, that failed.
Then in written protest, then in boycotts, until it escalated to mob nullification of the Stamp Act and the Boston Tea Party.
All was done before Lexington. Are we moving toward nullification of the Patriot Act?
Ending “Chevron Deference” will be a good start. Stop allowing these executive branch agencies to write their own de facto law. Force Congress to actually write narrowly tailored laws instead of just handing a blank-check to the Swamp.
SCOTUS had already ruled that emergencies cannot be used to restrict Constitutional rights. If emergencies cannot trump Constitutional rights, it is difficult to see how the mere claims of some documents being “classified” can do that.
“If the Deep State can unilaterally determine what constitutes ‘national security,’ and if the judicial branch is not going to review or challenge those determinations, then the executive branch can target people, target institutions, and/or conduct domestic surveillance while hiding their conduct behind the shield of national security.”
Well, you see, the reference to the President having total control over classifications of information, which is the essence of determining what constitutes “national security,” this is likely why SCOTUS is unwilling to challenge such a designation of “national security,” which leaves three other institutions that could have the ability to change this legal environment:
Congress, which is the most powerful branch of the federal government according to the Federalist Papers (explicitly stated there) and the Constitutions descriptions of authority among the NOT “coequal” branches of the government. Congress is the most powerful, followed by POTUS, and finally SCOTUS. Congress controls SCOTUS jurisdiction and could pass a statute creating some form of judicial authority over this subject. Better yet, the Congress itself can take a hand in controlling what constitutes “national security.”The States can exert pressure through calling for a Constitutional Amendment to control determination of what constitutes “national security.”The People can finally get interested in such matters and put pressure on the Congress and States to get this under control.
The institution that has the ability to skirt what is defined by USGOV as “national security” is the MEDIA. Under the ruling in The New York Times (NYT) v United States, the NYT was able to publish The Pentagon Papers, that were classified documents (shielded by “national security” designation). The media can publish, Constitutionally under the First Amendment, classified documents, which means “national security” information.
Now that we know what the problem is we’re pretty much screwed unless the 4th branch can be obliterated.
No.
Forget the feds. Pour sand in their gears. Work locally. The feds are completely and totally #unserviceable.
Work toward secession in some form from the federal parasitic system.
I’m just still working out the tax issue. I might officially die. One way or another.
seccesion by any other name,…lol.
Not a fan of literal, legal succesion, but assertive 10A, by State Giverments I am all for.
If my fingerprints and photo were not already in the database, I would seriously consider going South, and U-turning back, in order to generate an alternate I.D.
The $5000 and plane ticket would just be ‘extras’.
I agree, with all this legal talk. We tried, its completely corrupt, voting?, well 2024 will be the tell.
We are likely well beyond that.
The power of NO needs to be applied at every level.
They are the parasites ‘We the People’ are the producers.
The mentality needs to be more along the lines of siege.
Never forget ‘We the People’, ‘We the Producers’ are the vast majority. We count in the end they don’t.
Hasn’t it been established by some that there is no law that we have to pay taxes?
Backdoor Dictatorship. Unchallengeable.
Constitution? Checkmate.
The Nation was created by breaking the Law. British Law.
That is the problem behind all Laws and Rules. Honesty and Decency is the Foundation.
Otherwise Laws are Technicalities, bent by the devious minds of grubby insiders.
True, and that is the core of the problem.
“Our constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.”
John Adams
Indeed the same could be said of the bible.
Perhaps all of this is a test?
All I can surmise is that several of the SCOTUS are compromised on the conservative side.
“Justice” John Roberts comes to mind.
He gave us UNCONSTITUTIONAL Obamacare.
As is much of our ‘government’.
Absolute power corrupts absolutely.
This is horrifying! Can’t it be changed?

I prefer to think the best is yet to come.
This will come to a head and will be fixed.
Ultimately, we will all die and some will graduate to a better place.
Now that we have stopped (somewhat) killing babies, maybe a great leader is yet to come.
Troubling that the country’s debt service is now equal to our military spending. We really need to slash and burn government like never before. Just axe various agencies. Cut budgets in half.
So about 6 million deer alone, after many hours in the forest, are harvested in the USA per year. It would be far more without the need to get deer tags and the anti-poaching laws.
Having said that, the more civilized and cost-effective approach is to finish the border wall and send them all home, all expenses paid.
Sorry, when did the DOJ/FBI acquire the power to pass laws?
…Or ANY of the federal agencies (IRS, ATF, FDA, ect.) for that matter!? 🤷♂️😡
In most cases, its just ILLUSION.
For instance, MOST people BELIEVE that the FDA has the authority to dictate which substances (medications) are legally available “OTC”, which are “Drs Rx Only” and which are further “Controlled Substances” despite the Constitution not granted the Fed. Government any authority over medical care, and 10A saying if the Constitution doesn’t give it that authority, it doesn’t HAVE it.
Notice during Covid, ONE State Gov. DEFIED the FDA, and Declared Ivermectin OTC, and the Fed. Giverment did NOT challenge that in Court (cause they knew they would LOSE).
Likewise, the States that have defied the Fed. Giverment, regarding Marajiuana; the Fed threatened, and blustered but did NOT sctually challenge the States in Court, cause they knew they would lose.
And any such loss, sets a National precedent, destroying the illusion the Fed. Giverment wants, which is for the populace to believe the illusion of authority.
Yes, it’s amazing how powerful the word NO is.
If we as U.S. citizens ever do get genuinely serious about redress and reform of our government then the whole thing (all three branches) will have to be turned upside down, stripped to the walls, all present employees cashiered and put on unemployment. Is there an orderly way to accomplish that? How do you keep rag tag Antifa and BLM and the government employee unions from setting fires & looting? I believe 1000 dead bodies laid neatly along a sidewalk of recently looted stores would be a strong deterrent. Impending death focuses the mind, enabling one to think more productively about one’s alternatives. Don’t you agree? Communists use death to punish their people for not being evil enough. If it comes to it, we should employ the teaching tool of death to teach people that it really is better to be good, not evil.
Orderly will IMO take generations and we should expect to suffer millions of unnecessary casualties, a sample of which we’ve seen in my lifetime, since the march to Communism started before I was born in the 50’s, to slowly build back morality and faith into localities, then states, then regions, then the nation.
A cataclysmic event could change the timeline but I figure diligent work, procreation and indoctrination of future generations, and some luck, perhaps by the dawn of the next century we can get there.
Orderly means taking the high road, peace, compromise, no violence nor offensive killing.
If we take the long view and don’t expect it in our lifetime, then IMO it can be done.
Thought experiment.
If everyone in the executive branch were fired ‘today’ what of a material significance would happen?
Only the ones that come up should continue, the rest are parasites by definition.
I also start with the US Consitution.
What exactly is authorized by the States, that formed the Federal government, for it to do?
If we look at every historical incident from JFK to Watergate, Clintons, Oklahoma City, Waco, 911, Barry Soetoro, Boston Bomber, San Bernadino, Los Vegas, Crossfire Hurricane, J6, Mar-a-Lago…….. on and on, we see the FBI acting incompetently or not at all. Yet, they get a new HQ bigger than the Pentagon.
The FBI investigates and vets all politicians, judges, government workers. They control who is eligible to hold office, wear a robe, carry a gun. They control information via NCIC, NICS, Twitter, socials, etc.
Everything is controlled by the FBI with zero oversite. If they cannot control you then they eliminate you.
I believe the FBI is running our country or at least controlling the outcome.
Is it no longer common knowledge that if
This has always been the problem with unchecked power throughout human history.
Our Founding Fathers never envisioned the United States of America ever becoming a world power, let alone with the technologies we now have.
Our best ‘peaceful’ option is to win the 2024 election and fire all of DC.
Backfilling with patriots in each executive branch of government. If you know anything about the subject, you are hired.
Removing the CCP/WEF traitors in the Senate and Congress would also help.
It’s not the uniparty, but the CCP/WEF sellouts vs Patriots at this point.
A key aspect will be PDJT going medieval on these traitors. One good thing is the surveillance state has all the goods on them.
Leave or Jail time, your choice.
It is so biblical to turn evil against itself.
The movie this script was written for came out in 1998. Will Smith, Gene Hackman in “Enemy of the State”.
Using ‘National Security’ as the ‘get out of jail free’ card to get away with all sorted of unthinkable crimes against Americans.
Was it already happening? Was it a warning of what was already being planned back in the Clinton years?
Or was it the suggested game plan on how to destroy Americans, the Constitution, and America? Just couch it as a warning.
It was already happening. It’s why Congress created the Church committee in the 70’s. One outcome of the Church Committee was creation of the FISC. The CIA and FBI just came up with ways to get around it.
Part of the problem – nobody ever goes to jail.
Saw this movie over Christmas. Love it, and yes, so relevant to 2024.
It’s a Christmas movie too. Will Smith is buying a gift for his wife for Christmas when his life turns upside down.
It also underscored an important tool, using humans like Gene Hackman’s character, who had tactical knowledge of enemy operations, to achieve mission goals.
We need to actively recruit such individuals in real life on every level, not just the Eric Snowden’s of the system. Miltary vets, medical personnel, computer engineers, information technology specialists, communications experts, scientists, even grunt nobodies like me with experience in ‘making it go’…..
Every tool in the toolbox is valuable. The enemy is formidable.
A # of prescient movies, and particular scenes,…
Borne series, ,…”If itcall goes South, we’ll wrap up Blackbrier, tie it to Pamela Landry,…and then start it up again,..”
And “3 days of the Condor” in the final scene outside the NYT’s offices, when Cliff Robertson asks Redford “What makes you think they will PRINT it?”
Both eerily prescient movies. I dislike Redford the person, but Three Days of The Condor was a really good movie.
Can’t see anything with will
Smith in it
Sounds like they’re very interested in hiding the truth.
Also sounds like they’re the REAL threat to national security.

The Democrats found the HOLY GRAIL LOOPHOLE, a long, long time ago. Everything is now crystal clear.
This is a game over moment. Mountains are literally going to have to be moved to fix the root problems. We could be FUBAR.
No, Ma,…
NOT “Democrats,..”
UNIPARTY elites.
KNOW your enemy, otherwise while you are sighting in on the “Democrats”, and holding fire until you can see the whites of their eyes, their comrade the Republicant will come up behond you, and stick a knife in your back.
Yes. You are correct.
But 16 years ago, Democrats had more DC whiteboard Think Tanks dedicated to finding their ‘final solution’ , to circumvent the Constitution, than the RNC and the Bushites.
Now we are incomplete freefall with the Uniparty.
It can be fixed.

Why can’t the Supreme Court see through this?
That court makes me nervous with decisions like this.
Is the court just as corrupt?
Or hopelessly out of touch with reality?
one should be nervous
unfortunately
What solutions are there?
So, freedom is extinguished due to national security. Ben Franklin was right – “… as long as you can keep it.”
Trade freedom for security and now we have neither.
The temerity of John Roberts helps end the Republic. It is why when Trump is reelected he needs to take a Sledge Hammer to the Deep State and all the people that turned their gaze away from the sedition.
I’m sick of the supreme court choosing to not get involved. That’s why they are there. Its why the get paid the big bucks and live like kings and queens. Do your jobs!
It’s simple… decide what is constitutional and what isn’t! Stop worrying about the impacts of your decisions. We don’t pay you for that. you’ve got one F’ing job! do it or quit!
The only non-violent thing that fixes this is a Constitutional Convention and a change to the constitution to remedy this. Good luck getting that to happen.
We need to win more seats in Congress and pass laws that force them to follow the consitution as it is.
No to Constitutional Convention, and IF we are going to resolve it politically it would require and understanding of how politics, and the political process WORKS.
Very few Conservatives have any understanding of how politics works…
since most conservatives are law abiding citizens
they would definitely have little or no understanding
of how the political process works which is
mostly behind closed doors
in the dead of night lol
Another is contained in two underpinnings of the Treehouse – rebuilding faith and changing hearts and minds.
IMO, the system as our Founders established it is viable and healthy. The disease is the humans. We are also the cure. The road to health is not an easy one. There are quick and dirty ways of eradicating disease and there are cleaner, longer ways. There are pros and cons to each.
unfortunately, a constitutional convention can and would be co-opted
They have long worked to corral us into that option as a last gasp effort that they have already gamed out and written their own Communist Constitutions for.
The more secrets a government says it needs to keep the less free and open society you have. What eventually is the greater threat ? The supposed “national security” threat or an increasing closed, controlled, totalitarian nation ?
We all know that the majority of “national security” consists of hiding corruption and embarrassment of “our democracy’s” agencies.
We all know “sources and methods” too. Human intelligence, electronic surveillance, much of it constitutionally illegal, and other corruption, such as, entrapment, blackmail, and bribes.
We need the who, what, why, when, and where of each instance of “national security” explained and examined by a panel of revolving, widely dispersed federal judges who independently determine if the explanation matches the “threat”. The Judiciary needs to exert that it is an equal branch of government, that the other branches aren’t above corruption and require the “checks and balances” of the Constitution.
Some president should just “splinter the C.I.A. into a thousand pieces and scatter it to the winds.” Oh, wait… They got to him “six ways from Sunday.” Yes, I realize that succeeding in that would on be a small part of the solution.
Some revelations about a rogue CIA. In this interview, Bannon, very uncharacteristically, skips a commercial break to keep taking with Dr. Malone, and says “Forget aliens and spacecraft.” Dr. Malone, after stating that he has heard from trusted CIA insiders that the CIA has gone totally rogue and simply does what it wants (partly because it has huge income from outside of government via commercial concerns) said something like, “We’re not on air right now?”:

“For decades … the CIA’s operations faced only glancing scrutiny from the White House, and virtually none from Congress,” Risen writes. “True oversight would have to wait until 1975, and the arrival on the national stage of a senator from Idaho, Frank Church.” (not really – see below – W)
In 2006, Risen won the Pulitzer prize for his coverage of George W Bush’s warrantless wiretapping program. Risen was also part of the New York Times team that snagged a Pulitzer in the aftermath of September 11. He endured a seven-year legal battle with the Bush and Obama justice departments, for refusing to name a source. Eric Holder, Barack Obama’s attorney general, backed off. But he earned Risen’s lasting ire.
In 2015, Risen called the Obama administration “the greatest enemy of press freedom in a generation”. Holder, he said, “has done the bidding of the intelligence community and the White House to damage press freedom in the United States”.
There Is No Oversight: The NSA Withheld Documents From Intelligence Committee Heads
Mar 28th 2014
https://www.techdirt.com/articles/20140327/08140826708/there-is-no-oversight-nsa-withheld-documents-intelligence-committee-heads.shtml
There has never been effective oversight of the NSA’s bulk collections programs, or indeed, intelligence agencies in general. There’s been a lot of noise made about this vaunted oversight in defense of programs revealed by leaked documents, but this is nothing more than a talking point.
At The Big Picture, a clip of Sen. John D. Rockefeller (then Chairman of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence) discussing how oversight actually works has been posted. It’s from an interview given in 2007, about the time the FISA Amendments Act was being put together to replace the expiring Protect America Act. The amendments act, among other things, extended the length of warrantless surveillance and gave telecoms retroactive immunity for their participation in the NSA’s bulk collections.
Here’s Sen. John D. Rockefeller explaining why, even back in 2007, intelligence agency oversight was a joke.
DAVIS: Reports quote administration officials as saying this is going on and it’s being done in a way to avoid oversight of the Intelligence Committee. Is there any way—
ROCKEFELLER: They’ll go to any lengths to do that, as we’ve seen in the last two days [during hearings on FISA].
DAVIS: Is there anything you could do in your position as Chairman of the Intelligence Committee to find answers about this, if it is in fact going on?
ROCKEFELLER: Don’t you understand the way Intelligence works? Do you think that because I’m Chairman of the Intelligence Committee that I just say I want it, and they give it to me? They control it. All of it. ALL of it. ALL THE TIME. I only get – and my committee only gets – what they WANT to give me.

HOW Is There ” OVERSIGHT ” when the agency IS ” ALLOWED ” to Run ” BLACK OPS ” and SELF FUND
THEIR AGENDAS
” cut off OUR FUNDING ? right… “
“High priests in black robes” selected to enforce the will of those who own this country over the will of the majority of the people. Because the law is just words subject to the interpretation of rulers. And as the very first Chief Justice of the US Supreme Court, John Jay, wrote in one of his early opinions, “The People Who Own the Country Ought to Govern It”:
The Supreme Court, hegemony, and Its Consequences

That’s what we’re up against folks. The courts will not be saving us. They serve the criminals with anti-Constitutional rulings. Not just unconstitutional, but rulings that are repugnant to the plain words of our nation’s governing contract with the people it governs. The contract has been materially breached. Null and void. And in the voice of Darth Vader you can hear the criminal regime’s courts say, “We have altered the agreement; pray we don’t alter it further.”
We the people are the government, so nothing is to be withheld from us without our consent. This requires attention because they must be stopped from this course.

Given our Government was established on a system of checks and balances, would an authority within one branch, without a corresponding check or balance by the other two be Constitutional.
Alternatively, any action by any branch of government must be checkable or balanceable by the other two branches. Therefore the judicial branch cannot blankedly accept ‘fer security reasons’.
On Day One, President Trump should declassify and publicly release everything involved in the Twitter Supreme Court case just to embarrass Chief Justice Roberts.
On Day Two, President should declassify and publicly release every document that Special Counsel John Durham used as an excuse not to prosecute the criminals in the FBI and DOJ. As you recall, Special Counsel Durham stated that his investigation uncovered dozens serious federal crimes committed by multiple FBI and DOJ officials in their attempt to frame President Trump for a crime that never even happened.
Durham’s excuse for shirking his sworn duty to prosecute those crimes was that the evidence included vast amounts of classified documents as, as Durham explained, no federal prosecutor would bring a case to trial involving classified documents.
Well, certainly Jack Smith has no problem bringing a case to trial against President Trump solely based on classified documents and even more troubling…what could legitimately be classified top secret when everything about the Russian Collusion Dossier was a hoax? Are fake documents that everyone on the planet knows were fake seriously ordered “CLASSIFIED?” Are we living in a country governed by CLOWN WORLD!
Nothing surprises me anymore. Our government is totalitarian; not much else to say.
My thought is after We the People take back ‘our’ government, this whole issue of what is and what is not a national security issue must have a very different process.
Perhaps something along the lines of a jury trial (composed of ‘citizens’ randomly selected from around our nation) for national security issues beyond a certain date.
In short, trusting the foxes to guard the hen house is clearly not working.
….or we could have honest elections along with term limits for all offices at all levels.
Representation should be more like jury duty rather than a pathway to ill-gotten gains via fraud, graft, and insider trading.
Red State really doesn’t like President Trump

Christie is dropping out to give birdbrain his 1%
But its all about Trump.. Orange man bad,, bad,, bad,, we know better,
Bad, Bad, Bad, those in congress who support him know better. Bad.
Bad Bad, that pretty much sums up his whole speec
It is obvious that the three letter agencies not only have compromising info/photos of most congressmen (&women) and senators but the Supreme Court justices too. How else can you explain the strange rulings that completely open the doors to so many unconstitutional efforts by government agencies. It seems no one but liberals have “standing” to get any action from the court. Our federal government is corrupt from top to bottom and likely most state and local ones too.
So far gone.
It’s humpty dumpty. Always easier to destroy, tear-down, break-down than EVER put back together again and that is known and well known.
Conquer, destroy; done everyday.
Military leader, elective surgery; pancreatic cancer, MIA 2-3 days and NOBODY knows…EXCEPT world powers.
Many of our leaders, politicians were on Epstein Island and blackmailed accordingly.
BHO developed a network of obtaining everyone’s emails, calls, texts. Widely known and FBI, Justice Dept, agencies, police, Secret Service turned a blind eye> He has those goods on you, me and everyone in the USA….just waiting, until….
There is NO law, NO justice.
Open defiance of robbery, looting, stealing and local, state DA’s, court offices, police just simply allow the thugs to rule and control. Why be a biz owner and allow your goods, merchandise, profits to walk out???
It’s the NEW USA.
And my neighbor and your neighbor will soon be an illegal and have all the rights we have and housing pd by the govt…right next to us to destroy our property values and our morals, values and culture….
It’s just depressing seeing/knowing and the hard fact being, there is NO return.
Pancreatic cancer ?
“Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.”

When we expose enough of their lies, And the lies stop working, They will resort to violence.
Speaking of DHS, AT&T (the only high speed internet in my corner of the boonies) has throttled every single video Sundance shares either here or on Twitter which I read on Nitter.net. They no longer load or play, the circle just spins eternally.
My “Sundance is right again” nickel jar is too heavy to lift anymore.
grrr…
**spit**
no national security excuse should impede the 1st or 4th amendment which is under the jurisdiction of the judicial branch.
X/Twitter should do it anyway. No one is obeying any laws.
The Founder’s genius system of Checks and Balances is gone. The three branches were supposed to be competitors. Instead they conspired together to form a cartel.
Snowden is looking like a hero.
The system the antichrist will use to persecute Christians is now in place and being tested by a very corrupt government.
What does this do to our government’s system of checks and balances?
