The Fourth Amendment to the United States Constitution says: “The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.”
Late last night, early this morning (after midnight), the United States Senate passed a FISA reauthorization bill that directly and specifically violates every tenant of the 4th Amendment.
The Senate voted to authorize warrantless federal government searches of every American’s private papers, effects, emails, electronic data records, cell phone calls, contact lists, text messages, buying habits, purchases, banking records, social media posts, direct messages, private communications and every keystroke of every electronic device in your life. All of it continues to be subject to the capture, review and surveillance of an unelected opaque law enforcement mechanism, and Congress supports it.
The issue is magnified, because the Supreme Court has never ruled on the constitutionality of the FISA-702 data collection system, because the Supreme Court also says no American has standing to challenge the federal government violation of their 4th Amendment right to privacy. It’s all infuriating… It’s all FUBAR!
Oh, and if you are reading this… you’re likely on the list.
Last night, Senator Dick Durbin (D-IL) teamed up with Sen. Kevin Cramer (R-ND) and added an amendment that would have required the government to get a warrant before reviewing any communications incidentally collected from Americans. The amendment was the last effort priority for a smidgen of hope; the IC railed against it, saying it would stop them from acting on critical “national security” information in real time. It failed by a vote of 42 to 50.
Another Democrat Senator, Ron Wyden (Oregon), a senior member of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, vowed and pledged that FISA-702 would never be renewed by any measure that required his signature. “I’ll do everything in my power to stop it,” he previously said. “Searches have gone after American protesters, political campaign donors, even people who simply reported crimes to the FBI. The abuses have been extensive and well documented,” Wyden argued to colleagues. Wyden’s effort to strike the language failed by a vote of 34 to 58.
“Egregious Fourth Amendment violations against U.S. citizens will increase dramatically if this bill is passed into law,” Utah Republican Senator Mike Lee warned. Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) offered an amendment to block DHS, FBI, DOJ, IRS, and various ancillary intelligence, law enforcement, national parks and government agencies from buying Americans’ electronic NSA data from third parties and federal contractors. Paul’s amendment failed by a vote of 31 to 61.
The House and Senate bill does include provisions that would force the Intelligence Community to notify political leadership in Congress about 702 database searches involving lawmakers, but you, Comrade Citizen, are not allowed to know about the searches done on you. You, comrade prole, must improve your elite status if you wish to participate in any benefit from the shredded and reconfigured 4th Amendment, now reserved for the entitled class.
As noted by The Hill, Senator Mike “Lee offered an amendment to require the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court to appoint an outside lawyer to argue for the rights of a U.S. person the government wants to surveil secretly. It would have also required government employees appearing before the FISA court to disclose factual evidence that might call into question the accuracy of their statements. It also failed even though it had previously passed the Senate with 77 votes in 2020.”
Go figure!
Hey, stop me when you start to notice something that looks like history rhyming.
There’s an inversion afoot.
People in DC claim they cannot see it….
People in DC claim they don’t see the parallels…
People in DC hate my pesky annoyances….
People in DC are our abusers….
Throw sand into the machine whenever possible…
Wolverines!
Vote EVERY LAST ONE OF THESE PEOPLE OUT!
You no longer have a vote.
“When will you let go of human intellect and understanding, and Look to Me alone?”
“Beloved, be quick to repent of your pride and relinquish the need to be in control.
Why make Me wait and delay My Divine Deliverance and wonder-working Power to perform Miracles in the midst of you, because you have chosen to rather explore and exhaust all other man-made ideas and quick fix solutions?”
You can’t vote out the Fourth Branch Of Government.
No, but you can vote out their tools
Make Hemp Rope Great Again!
The perps(enemies domestic) were never voted in.
Kudos to Tucker Carlson for his insight in accurately describing this cowardly behavior by these “weak” individuals, deceived into thinking that they have some unique knowledge, somehow unknown to The People.
‘…but we have the mind of Christ.’
And that’s a supernatural gift.
Trust God. Fear not.
Right. We just need to vote harder. That’ll stop ’em.
Not just that, an assembly of FISA victims to serve as plaintiffs must file suit in federal court. It would need to be appealed to SCUTUS for a ruling to destroy FISA can be accomplished. We can’t possibly vote out every one of these people. The law must be destroyed. The IC uses its “resources” to blackmail every legislator and every government employee and every president and every media and every business, causing each of them to destroy themselves to further the agenda of the IC.
All of the compromised parties have demonstrated their own destruction and yet appear to stand ready to continue their own willing destruction. Only blackmail and/or promises of future wealth and power (which will never be fully granted) can make all of these actors act against their own best interests. Only the IC can accomplish such things.
The IC is a front for the darkly evil cults running the world. You don’t even get close to belonging to the IC unless you first join that big cult. Oh wait . . . there have been a few non-cult members in the IC, but no more! The IC eats those who don’t go along with the Plan.
The IC **IS** the dark evil, but they are godless. They USE the beliefs of others to take them down or to identify them for selective punishment. The opposite of God is not another religion other than the IC created WOKE religion. Do not confuse the tools of manipulation with who they are. They don’t believe in anything other than their own power.
And it’s not like we haven’t seen this before — a corrupt IC in this country or in others. Do you think Israel’s IC is beholden to Israel’s elected government? Do you think that problem is exclusive in any way to the USA?
Let’s see…1) No standing! 2) Latches! 3) Moot!… Dismissed without comment….
It has to be done. They will keep creating new unconstitutional law just as New York continued creating unconstitutional law despite SCOTUS striking down their gun laws.
The vote accomplishes an additional purpose: using the terrible to hide the horrible. The legislative process manages to foster in the minds of the citizenry that the IC does, through legislation, always inform the public of their programs, no matter how unpopular they may be; implying proper channels and all above board and approved. It’s the stuff they don’t declare, that’s where the horrible lives.
There is no protection under the law when law no longer has meaning or force.
Vote them out while we still can vote.
Yes but not only. The IC doesn’t care if their tools are voted out. They will rig elections and they will install others who are compliant. The IC is the target and the source of the disease.
We only get like .7 of one vote.
Are you sure it’s that much?
It depends on the district and the contest. If you are in a situation where your vote could tilt the balance, then you get nothing. If your vote will make absolutely no difference to the outcome then they will make you feel better by allowing your vote to count. The outcomes, the margins and the vote totals are all pre-determined and adjusted on the fly as needed.
I take issue with your use of the word “people.” Otherwise, I agree 100 percent.
I don’t think voting is going to do anything. I hate to feel this way, but things are too far gone and most Americans are oblivious.
just listened to maybe yesterday or Friday’s War Room with Marjorie Taylor Green explaining how this bill horrible bill came into existence; the Senate completely gutted a bill the House passed for Veterans and filled with all the Ukraine, etc stuff to the point nothing is left for the veterans. This is insanely sleazy and dishonest. Well worth watching that episode and I strongly disagree with those belittling MTG and saying she is not MAGA. She took the time to explain in detail what is going on, how it all works, and I see no one else doing that.
And, can someone explain to me what SD is talking about when he says something about history rhyming. I really don’t like the cutesy mystery stuff…just spit it out.
It makes their fraud far more difficult and far more criminal.
I don’t think you understand what you are seeing here. In all prior corrupt elections, the claims in the courts died out within a year! We’ve had NON-STOP court battles since the 2020 and we are absolutely gaining ground. The issue has NEVER gone away and has NEVER been forgotten and the fire NEVER burned itself out.
Mark Twain quote – “History never repeats itself, but it rhymes.”
So historical events don’t happen exactly as previous events, but there are recurring themes – like tyrants and their police states.
The black-and-white photo is a Stasi agent spying on people, the color photo is FBI.
Well I got the black and white pictures but didn’t quite get the rhymes. I thought i was supposed to come up with a word that rhymes with history (lol). Thanks.
That is the same stunt Dingy Harry Reid pulled when, as Senate Majority Leader; he stripped the guts out of a House bill and replaced it with the foundation of the Affordable Care Act so as to get around the Constitutional provision of all appropriation/budget bills must originate in the House of Representatives.
Maybe if everyone voted on election day with paper ballots.
Anything else is election fraud IMO.
You state the obvious, and suggest fantasy as a solution.
How about stop pretending, stop fantasising and get real?
Accept the reality that is our current system, and that it is a rigged, crooked system.
Analyse how the system works, and where the weak points are, and then EXPLOIT it.
I’m sick of it, hopefully every other breathing legal US citizen is too
Like the collapse of the Weimar Republic, and we all know what came after that.
Unfortunately, the majority of US citizens don’t really know about the 4th and 6th Amendments; too many think there are only Amendments 1 and 2. There are reasons civics was dropped from public education.
Many of those same people also fall into the “I have nothing to hide so I have nothing to fear” group and just accept that there is no privacy on the internet.
I would put that figure as being “every other” all right! That looks like it is the main reason we have a problem. Most people just never have given a damn about anything in the political world.
Justice is coming.
Nice username ))
Thank you, Sundance. Not everybody gets it, but I appreciate that fellow Treepers do.
Glorious!!!!!
What’s going on? Someone must be cutting onions and the pollen is rampant. Because. My eyes are streaming with tears.
His truth is marching on!
Just beautiful. 🥰
”I walk
A rough and stony path,
Shadowed, dark and fearsome,
No sunlight pierces there
The night will never cease.
I stumble on in weariness,
And fain would fall down and sleep
I dare not stop!
I need to travel on.
Something beckons me,
I know not what it is,
But deep within my being
It calls out, I stumble on.
I cannot know
Where the pathway leads,
Unless I traverse it
To the end.
“An evil man will burn down his country, so that he may rule over the ashes.” Sun Tzu, “The Art of War”
That would be because Patriot is a bad word in this maladministration’s domestic terrorist handbook.
Just like Tea Party, if you call yourself a Patriot you are a domestic terrorist and must be stopped.
BTW, I learned this in the Colorado’s fraudulent Remove Trump From The Ballots Show. from some freak who called himself an expert in such matters, because he can get anything he wants out of his archives (the internet) to prove it, since the media wrote it and/or reported on it.
The American Dark Ages are upon us.
Bought to us by the four horsemen of the globalization apocalypse: Bush, Clinton, Dubya, and 0’Bama.
No, the IC who has controlled every single one of those Presidents.
Yes. But Dynastic Bush is the linchpin. CIA first. Then POTUS. Trace his roots back through Prescott and they land in Germany pre 1939.
I comment on this regularly.
You’re correct. But it started much earlier on the IC portion with the Dulles Brothers, before even Bush I.
We all know the essence of the history, and I think most of us know who is behind the curtain, despite attempts to push out “beards” and false narratives…1 square mile,…
You left out the cardboard cut out.
Did so intentionally because he’s 0’Bama 2.0.
And GOP complicity with conservative leadership indifference.

In general, “everything is hackable”. The question is: will humans be smart enough to effectively hack future AI systems?
I suspect the answer is “yes”… humans seem to be able to think outside the box in creative, and sometimes surprising ways.
World War III is, apparently, a bunch of Kabuki Theatre directed and produced by Global Elites and Oligarchs, designed to secure Money, Power, and Control.
World War IV is shaping up to be epic… like Hollywood Blockbuster epic…
Yes, humans are creative with God’s Spirit within. These evil ones have no such connection and inspiration. They are from their father and he is a liar and thief from the beginning. Satan has lost the war, we need to always keep that in mind. They will lose this one also. We need to look to our King who is Jesus Christ to lead us into battle.
Lord have mercy on America!
I reread the layout on DIA, use to fly there regularly. Been since pre 2005.
It tells a story of what these insane power brokers have in store. In plain sight, like most everything else.
More fundamentally, no tyranny in history has been able to witjstand UNITY of the people with a WILL to withdraw consent.
So, the question is, does technology change this basic equation?
I would answer NO, it does not.
Does CBDC and UBID’s change these fundamentals?
No, they do NOT. If a large % of the populace, IN UNITY and with WILL and purpose, by word and action withdraw their consent to be governed, it matters not that the discredited and illegitimate government can track everyones movement, monitor their comms, or even freeze their finances.
The “they can’t kill all of us” of the ‘singing revolution’ becomes “they can’t freeze ALL of our accounts!”
Tyranies persist right up to the moment when the populace realises they consent to be governed, and they can withdraw that consent in unity.
5 girls withdrew their consent to be governed by those ‘officials’ operating a track and field competition and demanding the girls compete against a boy.
And its pretty obvious that if ALL female athletes IN UNITY withdrew from any competition that included trans boys, this crap would STOP.
Notice, the girls and women don’t have to get violent, they just, by word and action withdraw their consent.
For any that haven’t, do a search of “singing revolution” of the Baltics.
Exactly. The real female athletes have all the power in that battle if they would just use it.
Yup.
Toolnut: Yup.
Add +CBDC + Quantum Computing to that recipe.
If a system as purportedly strong as Citibank’s can be hacked, how will a CBDC be “secured”? I might just as well beat the rush and hand the contents of my portfolio over to the cartels now.
And digital dollars?
Can we not generate an Online petition against this? How can senate votes alter the constitution?
Eaasy. They just ignore it, like they do the rest of the document.
Because they make laws and change amendments. That’s why when the Supreme Court rules something unconstitutional and says “only congress can alter it” that’s exactly what it means. They have slowly chipped away at our freedoms via amendments. The constitution isn’t the same as the original document m, they have altered and changed it t with their votes legally. I suggest next time we put something in there saying the people vote on changing or adding amendments.
Wrong.
Please read Article V of the most beautiful document ever written, The United States Constitution.
From armstrongeconomics.com
…”Congress can pass anything. That does not make it CONSTITUTIONAL. The government can pass a law that decrees you MUST kill your firstborn. ONLY when some prosecutor and judge attempt to enforce that law do you have STANDING to challenge it in a court – not before! In France, when a law is passed, the judiciary declares whether it is constitutional – BEFORE it is applied to anyone. In our system, the government gets to abuse us FIRST, and we have to stand up and say that it is illegal. If you do not have the money for lawyers, you are guilty. Court-appointed lawyers have a virtual PERFECT 95%-99% rate of losing trials – that’s what they are there for. ”…
Here’s a link to the entire blog post:
https://www.armstrongeconomics.com/international-news/rule-of-law/judge-merchans-trial-will-destroy-usa-like-trial-of-william-penn/
(Nice little bit of history too.)
I have been shouting that for a long time. The concept of “standing” is nothing more than a weapon available to and used by tyrants to abuse entire groups of people. Unconstitutional dictates affect everyone in some way, even if the effect is not immediately or obviously apparent.
I wonder if our Founding Fathers ever addressed this topic specifically in the Federalist Papers. I do know that Thomas Jefferson issued a warning about the judiciary but not as part of the Federalist Papers.
“It has long, however, been my opinion, and I have never shrunk from its expression …that the germ of dissolution of our federal government is in the constitution of the federal Judiciary; …working like gravity by night and day, gaining a little today and a little tomorrow, and advancing its noiseless step like a thief, over the field of jurisdiction, until all shall be usurped.”- Letter to Charles Hammond, August 18, 1821.
IMO, the “germ” has not only sprouted. It has already developed a robust root system and grows taller every hour of every day.
Originally, when reference was to “these United StateS” and there was a lot more identifying WITJ our States, the State governments retained far more power, along with the People (see 10A) and it was assumed the State Governments would FIGHT against the Fed. Gov. to retain that power, for the States and We, the People.
Unfortunately, they subverted our State Governments, as part of a long process.
I wonder if States, even a few, could pass a law that the citizens of those States will not be subject to that unconstitutional law and no federal agent or agency shall have jurisdiction or right to exercise any legal access to any such citizen within the State if 702 surveillance without a warrant, including the use of 3rd party data, was associated with a federal action.
Also maybe each State should also enact a law allowing its legislature to remove and replace any Senator who, by his/her vote, affirms an unconstitutional law.
Maybe that is the place we should be starting.
Because they just vote. It’s not law until the president signs it.
Then citizens get to challenge it in court, but as Sundance has stated:
The issue is magnified because the Supreme Court has never ruled on the constitutionality of the FISA-702 data collection system, because the Supreme Court also says no American has standing to challenge the federal government violation of their 4th Amendment right to privacy.
“You have no standing” appears to be the judicial shield/firewall for the Swamp.
The differing vote numbers on the preceding amendments, and then just the exact number to achieve passage after the amendments are rejected. Thought ‘Synchronicity’ was just an old Police album.
Safe travels SD.
Errata, Pet Peeve Saturday: “…FISA reauthorization bill that directly and specifically violates every
tenanttenet of the 4th amendment.”F$*# them ALL!
EVERY LAST ONE OF THEM!
Yeah I like to agree with the statement. But I’m all out of Fu_Ks to give! In the the words of H.L Mencken ” There comes a time when a man must spit on his hands,hoist the black flag and begin slitting throats.”
Yeah, all respect B.K. but I don’t want to do that, with any of them,…the sewer that is D.C. is like hollywierd for ugly people, after all.
With all the concern for not crossing the content line,…I guess I’ll just say Kiss them all, and let God sort em out!
I think the fact that they are still holding hundreds of J6 *citizens* without *due process* has said it all. This is just more confirmation that our country in deep s**t!
In the days of our founding fathers the citizenry was accustomed to violence. Today We the People follow the rules/laws. That is, except; illegals, g ov’ t, LE, military, judges (you get the picture).
Wonder what *our* next move is/should be – hmmmm ??!!
There is no next move except blog post when Donald Trump is jailed, removed from the election, or somehow remains in the election only to be a victim of fraud and corruption again.
Then it’s survival time.
We all know what the line is, and just as you state, it really doesn’t matter HOW they cross it.
In 6 1/2 months, this sitzkrieg will be over, and one way or the other we will be into the next phase.
FISA-Fascist Idiots Spying on Americans.
The Tribulation.
Tribulation means trouble, affliction, anguish, or persecution. And Jesus told us to expect tribulation. Things are already pretty bad for some Christians (It’s been like that from the beginning) but we should expect things to get even worse. However, no matter how bad things get, it will all be worth it. Just doesnt feel like it at the time.
Remember Jesus’s Passion. Way more than any Tribulation on earth than any human can stand. All for anyone one that believes in Him will never die.
Luke 12:4-5 NKJV
“And I say to you, My friends, do not be afraid of those who kill the body, and after that have no more that they can do. [5] But I will show you whom you should fear: Fear Him who, after He has killed, has power to cast into hell; yes, I say to you, fear Him!
Yes. Nevertheless, be prepared for all out persecution. Get right with Our Lord.
Amen, it is not like we have not been told it will happen.
John 15:18-19
New International Version
18 “If the world hates you, keep in mind that it hated me first. 19 If you belonged to the world, it would love you as its own. As it is, you do not belong to the world, but I have chosen you out of the world. That is why the world hates you.”
Thank you for the edification, sister. My family and I are IC victims via the fake-phony-corrupt Terrorist Screening Database (TSDB) since about 2017. All of the evil garbage in this newly authorized 702 bill has been done to us since at least then, and it’s been horrific. The hope of justice in the form of Jesus coming back to set things right is what keeps me going. Meanwhile, I kept asking God to destroy the technology being used against me (stingrays), and he did! Huge lightning strikes took them out. It was awesome. They’ve now been replaced, but I’m praying that the replacements will also be destroyed. I wouldn’t want to be standing next to one when that happens.
Wow! Almost unbelievable.
Durbin has been around since 1997, another one who has worn out his ‘welcome’.
All of them need replaced…there is no redeeming value in any of them. They are all “friends across the aisle,” and all “foes to the American people.”
FUBAR!!!!!
Love you, Sundance.
You are one of my lifelines.
MAGA 👊👊🙏🏻🙏🏻🇺🇸🇺🇸❤️❤️
Just watched the 1984 version of “Red Dawn”.
Man, that’s a tough movie to watch.
“Wolverines!”
Excellent but sobering post, Sundance. Made a donation to the site today. Wish I could have given more at this time but had to set some aside for that sand.
Carter Page should sue as unconstitutional all the way to the SCOTUS. He was a victim of 702 so he should have standing.
He was a plant from the get go. He got burned, because they had to (according to a Strzock text), but he’s still CIA.
He’s not about to become some hero now.
How would any American know if they do or do not have standing, as the Fourth Branch, through acquiescence of our selected congress creatures, made sure we wouldn’t know?
Even if they didn’t vote for this, they would continue to do it because wsho the hell would stop them. Remember THEY HATE US.
It’s way past the point where the federal government has no standing to legislate/dictate/mandate anything.
I no longer view the timing of these thing as coincidental.
What a bunch of fools. They don’t take away our God-given rights. They can try and they can try to get us living in fear – but fear is the sin of faithlessness. satan is a the author of fear and God Is The Author of peace and of sound mind. These clowns need to crawl back in their clown car because there are way more of us, then there are of them. Puhleeeze — your prisons aren’t big enough.
Can you feel the dam breaking, establishment cretins? Can you feel the earth trembling underneath you? You’re falling apart and you can’t sleep. There is no rest for you selling out your countrymen and women. The jig is up. How you use the weak minded as weapons to strike fear. How little you are!!! Eunichs!
They have no power to take away my God or my birthday or my birthright. Losers, all of them. How does it feel to scurry back to your manmade holes because you have no freedom to exist in your deprived minds and walk in the light? How does it feel to be…. guilty?
Preach it, Woo!
IT only took 3% of the population to give us the republic we had . now imagine if 3% of the people who voted for president Trump in the last election were to say ENOUGH and physicaly remove them from the seat of government for violating the constitution and take our country back 3 million people is a mighty big stick just saying . we would be within our constitutional right to do so . thanks for everything Sundance safe travels love to all treepers
Our foe, enabled by us, has become far more powerful now with the ability to wipe out huge swaths of patriots without incurring even a scratch. It was the commitment and determination of the patriots coupled with the situational knowledge and awareness of their generals to win.
3% in 1776, but they had leadership of the founding fathers and other great patriots. Trump and friends are a good start, but we need more leaders at the region/local levels.thays why they need FISA 702 continued+ to spy on the patriot masses and sun ert their actions. An option is knowing your Sheriff and ensure that they are willing and able to lead under constitutional standards.
I can’t deal with this anymore. Stop the world. I want to GET OFF.
wake me up when the rounds start flying….
I’ll repeat what I wrote earlier this week – a tech compliance guy said they grab everything at the ISP level anyway. It’s that bad.
Your tech guy is correct. the technology has imprived enough that they can store everything in real time and they can seasch the data rapidly for details to trap and persecute. The thing they can not do is preserve the data accurately for decades. they have to go old school like microfisch to make it permanent.
If anyone has a claim of harm (thus STANDING) by the FISA program, it would be Sundance. We should start a donation campaign and get Sundance into Federal court and ultimately into the SCOTUS. FISA should be ruled unconstitutional and dismantled.
Federal court in DC, the only place you can challenge it?
I do hate to be a downer, but good luck with that.
The answer lies in the people, and in the states.
What if a state were to pass a law giving people the right to sue any and all ISP providers for violations of their fourth amendment rights – in state court?
You would think some Red State Attorneys General would/could file a lawsuit on behalf of the people in their state. This must violate State Constitutions as well.
Mass Psychosis posted this yesterday. I do not understand how computers work, but this seems like a good time for me to learn. Thank you MP for posting this.

They did it for other things. Could happen that way against FISA as well.
This country cannot be saved from the top down. Trump is important because he can order the CIA and FBI to stand down and even to fire the lot of them. They can challenge being fired but they will still be fired. Meanwhile the people must ALSO rise up and the states as well.
There are federal courts in every state of the union.
I believe the FISA legislation puts venue only in the District Court for the District of Columbia for anything involving FISA.
Legislation controls venue in federal court
actions.
Now you see the structure.
DC is its own little nation state, with its own, cocooned, protected systems – Tax court, District court, appellate court, SCOTUS.
It really is the equivalent of the City of London, mostly operating outside the jurisdiction of the host country.
This was a considerable, exploitable weakness that was built in to the original Constitution (RIP), and now it has been fully exploited.
Municipal Corporation
DIstrict of Corruption is one big RICO
This is all so very confusing.
I can not find the votes by congressman at Congress.gov. Obviously I’m not looking in the right place.
I understand the Senate vote matters more, but I’d like is see the how the congressmen from my state (WI) voted.
The only carrot I can see is this: From The Hill “The House conservative rebels, however, persuaded Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) to extend FISA 702 for only two years instead of the original five years first laid out in the bill.”
How did Marjorie Taylor Greene vote on the FISA reauthorization bill?
Or am I just not understanding all this?

The issue is none of the derps have had to feel uncomfortable in anything.. mandates immune, Obama non care immune, spying immune, cost of living immune, inside trading immune… Get the picture. There needs to be protests and sit ins at all of their houses all of their hang outs and all of their town halls.. Just like the European farmers and yellow vests.
Its like your children, no consequences and there will be no behavior change same with these traitors. They have not felt any push back on their actions at all. So why expect any different actions on their part. It’s time to make things a little more restrictive in their daily activities… remove their sense of entitlement…

Here is the page that shows the actions taken before the final vote, i.e. actions on each amendment. There is a link to the vote record on each amendment: Record vote numbers 144 through 149. So you can see how each senator voted in the defeats of all amendments. (Record Vote 150 was final passage.)

BURN IT ALL DOWN! Someone, Please, tell me there is a silver lining!
At this point, it feels as though we are trying to swim through a tsunami. Is there nothing that can be salvaged of our Constitution, our Bill of Rights, our Liberty and Freedom?
His name is Jesus, and his judgement will be eternal. Hope in Christ gets me through every day!
Never, ever forget they approved a carve out protection for themselves. They are the threat.
Why not pass FISA on Patriot’s Day–Patriots are indeed the target.
Fake #ActingPresident Obama changed the definition of “Democracy”, just like “Vaccine”, “Immunity” and other medical definitions were changed to facilitate the Genetic Genocide Jabs. (I use the term here not to dispute the Founder’s aversion to Mob Rule, but to embrace their vision of We the People governing ourselves within a Constitutional Republic.)
When they say “Democracy” now, they don’t mean a political system. They mean themselves. They ARE Democracy, not the People. Not you. And certainly not a Populist President winning re-re-election in another massive landslide and governing for the benefit of everyday Americans. Madness! Inversion!
No, those are the old hallmarks of democracies. The new hallmarks are unaccountable bureaucracies designed to keep Multi-National Fascist Oligarchs rich and permanently in power. They think they can censor, infect, jab, impoverish, invade, overthrow, terrorize, bribe and blackmail their way into a Forever Regime of the National Endowment for Me and My Entitled Trillionaire Pals. Inversion.
But they will not win. Even now their walls are crumbling, their citadels are shaking and the smoke is rising. We win, Hosanna! This is Our Father’s Inversion, the Burning of Babylon, a Great Wealth Transfer for His Children and His Great Harvest Reset for America and the world. Forget that Doom and Gloom and Get ready for the Greatest Era you’ve ever seen, Hallelujah!
James 5:
1 Come now, you rich men, weep and howl for your miseries that shall come upon you. 2 Your riches are corrupted, and your garments are moth-eaten. 3 Your gold and silver are corroded, and their corrosion will be a witness against you and will eat your flesh like fire. You have stored up treasures for the last days. 4 Indeed the wages that you kept back by fraud from the laborers who harvested your fields are crying, and the cries of those who harvested have entered into the ears of the Lord of Hosts. 5 You have lived in pleasure on the earth and have been wayward. You have nourished your hearts as in a day of slaughter. 6 You have condemned and killed the righteous man who does not resist you.
7 Therefore be patient, brothers, until the coming of the Lord. Notice how the farmer waits for the precious fruit of the earth and is patient with it until he receives the early and late rain. 8 You also be patient. Establish your hearts, for the coming of the Lord is drawing near.
Yes and Amen, Lord Jesus!
Rest in the Vine: The Official Version(tm) of the Inversion Subversion Submersion
Thank you!
Amen!!!
Consider for a moment, that just maybe the “vote counts” from Kongress are just as rigged as our elections; they are hopelessly blackmailed by the money they take from whoever; every shred of lifetime indescretions by are “reps” are fully known; etc!
We are all waiting for our Kongress and institutions “to work” and do their jobs, but they can’t or won’t from fear!
The “problem” may be bigger than the country. There’s several countries going thru the exact misery we are!
They are coordinated to be sure.
It’s going to take a Convention of States to fix this and time is running out before it too late with the debt spiraling out of control alongside the intelligence takeover.
Guaranteed that the Swamp will have every goon on the payroll crash a Convention of States and take it over. The media will call it “democracy in action”.
If the FIB wants to shoot an old woman while she milks her cows and tends to her garden, because she is opinionated… have at it. I will go straight to heaven and they will go straight to eternal damnation.
I don’t consider this a Republic any more and I realize that one day, unless things change Lord willing, everyone can expect a knock on the door. I pray that every man, woman, and child is prepared for self and property defense. And I pray, that as Solzhenitsyn pondered, we will be ready to deal with it AS IT HAPPENS, making zero excuses, and not wait for someone to come and save us. Right now it’s happening in dribs and drabs, then it will happen all at once.
They don’t knock on the door, they use a Battering Ram, and it won’t be just 2 people, it will be 20 to 30 of them in full battle gear! We are screwed!
About all we can do right now is to go “Low Tech” as much as possible. I am most of the way there, all except my laptop here, but when that goes, I have no info at all as to what is going on?
Anything with the word “Smart” in it, is a Surveillance device.
There thinking is that they won’t NEED to shoot any old men or women, or even jail them as they have been with J6 hostages.
They think TECHNOLOGY is going to resolve the age old limitations on Tyranny.
They won’t shoot you and me, or even imprison us, they will just freeze our ability to engage in commerce.
Your SS check or $, is in your account, but you can not access it, until you correct your wrong think words or actions.
You apologise for those comments you posted on line, and promise not to do it again, and your ability to access your acct. is restored.
At least, thats the idea,..
Concealing Surveillance: The Government’s Disappearing Section 702 Notices
Judicial review of this surveillance is essential in our system of checks and balances, but for years the government has taken steps to block or limit courts’ ability to rule on the lawfulness of Section 702 spying, including by concealing the use of Section 702 in domestic criminal investigations.
In the past five years, the Department of Justice’s Section 702 notices—which are required by law whenever DOJ intends to use “any information obtained or derived from” Section 702 surveillance of the defendant in a criminal case—have disappeared altogether.
Their disappearance closes off one of the few avenues for robust court review of novel and controversial spying practices like the FBI’s widespread “backdoor searches” of Americans.
https://www.justsecurity.org/88861/concealing-surveillance-the-governments-disappearing-section-702-notices/
They can’t legislate to keep things out of court. It violates the separation of powers and the constitution. Just as they attempt to apply law to the office of the president (like “you can’t be president if you’re a felon!” is BS) they will fail at trying to prevent through legislation the courts being able to review and rule on law. It’s their FUNCTION. Writing law trying to limit the courts is absurd.
Congress got a carve out, didn’t they? If so, this proves that they are only there to protect themselves. I think that little Congressional Indiscretions Slush Fund should see the light of day. If taxpayers are going to fund it, then taxpayers should have a RIGHT to know what they are funding. full stop–either end the slush or give us a user’s push-out!
Congress AND THE ADMINISTRATION should be held to a HIGHER STANDARD. It is high time we quit endless funding of the FBI and CIA in order to allow them to spy on American citizens. This is not only ridiculous, why is it not illegal? It is time to clean out those employees who have ever accessed 702 searches. If the FBI says they cannot identify them, then clean house–every last one with 7th floor leadership going first. The only “national security” issue with that is that the spies can no longer spy on AMERICAN CITIZENS at will and without justification. NO WARRANT, NO SEARCH. Violate and be terminated, surrendering all pensions and no future positions in government (including elected). Maybe that will get their attention.
Loved the Battle Hymn of Republic that was posted. I also like this:
Stand Ye Steady….Men of Freedom….from USMA Cadet Glee Club of West Point
Free men never yield.
And Patriots Do Not Flinch!
Patriots Do Not Flinch
We are patriots engaged in a battle of consequence!We are the workforce.

Unfortunately we are past the point of voting in representatives with the best interest of average American citizens. The Deep State is in full control of the federal government and the only hope for a return to ordered liberty is on a local level. So secure the basics of survival for loved ones and make allies with like minded in your community. Food, shelter, defense, communication should all be established and maintained. Then make friends and allies in surrounding towns and counties. This is how Patriots were able to establish freedom from Britain in the 1770s and it took 40 years before they won. This will be the same, Start small and build. Do not use any internet based technology for communication and instead use short wave and GMSR. God bless all patriots!
That means including the so called Republicans, too. All UniParty playing their roles. Kabuki Theatre.

God, treat DC and NY like Sodom and Gomorrah
The question everyone needs to ask is not, “Are you better off than you were four years ago?”
The question we should be asking is, “Are we better able to get our country back on track than we were four years ago?”
I believe what we are witnessing is a “show” being conducted by the good guys to wake everyone up to where this whole thing is headed if we didn’t stop this run-away train.
Some of us already knew and were ready in 2020. Some still needed to be shown. Some will never wake up. We don’t need everyone to wake up. We just need to reach critical mass. We need the overwhelming majority of the people to demand it. It has to be the will of the people. It doesn’t work any other way.
I believe the bad guys still have some power, so they are dangerous. They are losing their power slowly and steadily. The good guys are taking control and will soon take the lead.
President Trump doesn’t say, “The best is yet to come.” without a plan to get there.
There is not one shred of judicial process in that rubber-stamp FISA “court.” Where only one side is represented, and the stories can’t be verified. It is a mockery.
And these people, truly, “are obsessed.” They want to know everything about everyone, literally just because they can. But this doesn’t make anyone more secure: rather, much less so.
We truly live on animal farm.
Nary a headline in the MSM about the ultimate desecration of the 4th amendment.
Very conveniently, an Antifa immolated himself in front of a courthouse, and it’s the lead headline everywhere.
The American people have no free press to inform them.
The Republic died in darkness.
With one little Treehouse candle documenting its demise.
Tiny grains of sand, sprinkled in right places will bring any machinery to a halt.
AI training
To be successful in training AI systems to “understand” human thought, what better than the previously unavailable access to any and all communications of men and women?
Especially the insights gleaned from those who would oppose or limit the abuses of our Constitutional rights.
This might be a driving force to speed up AI development or perhaps a fringe benefit.
Recently, a treeper posted a comment “Why didn’t my comment show up?” and AdRem replied “I have NO IDEA, but here it is!”
Or, something to that effect. This site has an AI system, that automatically puts comments containing certain words into “the bin” for moderation.
My point is, no such system is perfect, and there will always be work-arounds for any survellence system they develop.
What they will end up doing, is motivating millions of citisens to begin thinking and acting like criminals, as they criminalise behaviors that are excercising God given rights.
Oops, see right there, by suggesting rights come from G-O-D, instead of being granted to me by a munificent Gummint, I have crossed a line, and some content crawling spider will catch that.
