It started with Senator Lindsey Graham previously saying that perhaps electronic encryption programs needed a legislative ban as an outcome of the Trump assassination attempt.
The “never let a crisis go to waste” narrative continues advancing today with Congressman Mike Waltz.
CHICAGO — Trump rally gunman Thomas Matthew Crooks used encrypted messaging accounts on various platforms located in Belgium, New Zealand and Germany, according to a member of a congressional task force investigating his assassination attempt against former President Donald Trump.
Rep. Michael Waltz (R-Fla.), one of 13 lawmakers tapped to serve on the House bipartisan task force, told reporters at a Wednesday press conference at the Trump Hotel Chicago that the “overseas accounts” piqued his suspicion immediately regarding the shooter’s motives.”
“Why does a 19-year-old kid who is a health care aid need encrypted platforms not even based in the United States, but based abroad – where most terrorist organizations know it is harder for our law enforcement to get into?” asked Waltz. (read more)
If you do not choose to give up some private communication tools in order to make the USA a safer place, then you don’t care about the security of President Trump or something. That’s the rapidly approaching talking point from the professionally republican.
The Deep State loves unilateral transparency where We The People are transparent, and they remain opaque. Sorry, but look where we are now. We never should have agreed to start taking off our shoes at the airport.

How about a ban on incompetent government officials? That’s what I got from this.
The Dc would deserted.
The hell with Lindsay Graham.
Soon enough.
I’d add “Not”
It’s Ms!
How about a ban on Lindsay Graham?
Ms Linda is too dumb to talk about anything that matters. He, without fail, drools the established talking points as though he has some knowledge other people don’t have. He reminds me of a 7th grade girl who’s not part of the popular girls circle. He’ll drool BS so he appears somehow relevant.
Not a chance the IC doesn’t have compromising photos of Ms Linda and little boys
If I were in the UK I’d be in HMP Belmarsh for posting this 😎
Well if Kamala becomes President you might be in Guantanamo for your postings here!
Very possibly. Someone here will hide me I’m sure…🙏🏻
Betsy who?
LOL!!! Thank you 😁
I reckon trying to cage Miss Betsy, would be like trying to cage an angry wolverine. That is just a guess…. 🙂
A certainty, Bob 😎👍🏻
Say hello to Julian!
Yes, what they are doing in England, regarding speech is unbelievable.
What they did in Au and NZ, during Covid, ditto.
But, how many eyes are opened to the reality it is 2A, and probably ONLY 2 A, that has kept U.S. Gov. from going just as draconian, which in turn has changed their view of 2A, 280 degrees?
I believe this, too, dutch. The last impediment to complete totalitarianism.
I don’t know what percentage of Brits understand this. But as the British jackboots get heavier and heavier, however small it may be, I’m sure more and more will look across the pond and comprehend.
IIRC, I read about an interview that I think was Dr Wolfe (or someone in her orbit) recently that while discussing the draconian response to Covid in AUS and NZ stated that the only reason that the US was not as draconian was because of 2A. The authorities feared an armed uprising.
Agree! One of the most dangerous volatile situations for a cop/sheriff are domestic violence calls is my understanding. But I’ve never been a cop. But LE trying to force injection of an experimental mRNA shot would be an extremely dangerous situation even far greater than a domestic violence call! That might be the only thing they were right about during the Covid plandemic!! Praise the Lord for our God given 2nd Amendment!!! JMO
Bingo!
Oh, Miss Lindsey probably has her Daughters of the Confederacy South Carolina membership up to date.
Title IX, BK 👍🏻
Betsy… your pictures are ..😂😂🤣🤣.. love laughing , it so good for the body and soul …😘
🇺🇸💪😀👍
Laughing keeps us sane, dear Mr Jim 😁👍🏻
Looks like it could be useful as a toilet brush.
If Ms. Lindsey didn’t tout bad to terrible ideas, she wouldn’t be touting any ideas at all.
Back when she gave her two minute, free media campaign speech at the end of Kavanaugh, I SAID, yes I did, DON’T fall for it!
And within weeks, she was touting a Natl. Red Letter law.
Tried to outwit PDJT, by proposing legislation making it illegal for PDJT to fire Mueller, then withdrew it because “Oh, realised its UnConstitutional!” expressly to make it clear PDJT had the LEGAL authority to fire Mueller, all the while knowing that that didn’t matter, as the PERCEPTION, in ‘The Court of Public Opinion” would see it as grounds for Impeachment.
The list of ways that ladybug lindsey has hurt MAGA is long, and duplicitous, may he rot in hell.
The pearl clutching of miss Lindsay at Kavanaugh was a classic.
One crook blessing out the den of crooks for playing politics.
I highly recommend everyone listen to the first hour of Bannon’s War Room with Mike Benz this evening.
It ties right into this.
Benz has supercharged over the learning curve for anyo e who will listen.
I like what Benz has to say….he is brilliant! Hope he is named to PDJT 47’s administration in a prominent position – he is a treasure.
Perhaps one of those challenging 2nd or 3rd level positions.
I agree – he’d be up to it.

Thanks for the assist, Kris!
is one tech device (from each image below) Central and one Eastern? same time zone? Can someone show the Grassley Text time stamps with time zone applied?
we got a problem.
That dude is on a mission.
Is he walking, while a man that is considered him that shot President Trump sitting on a bench at the same time?
can someone go to Grassleys Senate site and retrieve the text messages and look at a time stamp to see if its in the same time zone as the video above?
Would that not depend upon whether the devices used were manually time set or automatically time set by the carrier / satellites?
Needs encryption for talking to other lone wolves.
or if someone killed me, they could say I had anything, and everything.
Convenient, ain’t it?
Jeesh.
Patriot Act Phase 2?
Just jeesh.
🙏✝️🙏
Patriot Act doesnt work (for us).
They can’t find the Secret Service texts, Crooks’s texts. encryptions cant be undone (bullshit).
This is proof the NSA database needs to be leveraged for destruction, including all Tech companies that have ever participated in it, with a full public disclosure of how it was done and how its done anywhere. Its not being used to help us, its being use by political families to rule us.
Glad you see it. Good post. 🫵
Been convinced for some time now, that what the enemy has feared from day one, is DJT accessing the NSA database, and using it against them.
After all, its ALL in there; comms laying out all of their nefarious conspiring, from Russia, Russia, to Hillerys emails, Comeys emails,…planning for Impeachment hoaxes, Covid plandemic and the stealing of the elections,…
Just imagine something similar to “the twitter files” where Sundance, Tom Fitton and a team of researchers comb thru the NSA database, using 702 about searches, building a case against those involved in Conspiracy to commit terrorism via a bioweopons release, and Conspiracy to commit election interference.
the database does look like anyone that has been giving access can use it. sick but looks true.
what you said looks like it could be happening.
Maybe that’s already happened and they’re just waiting to execute plans upon Inauguration.
(Space Force too)
thanks, dont stop digging and spreading it
If the FBI and CIA can’t crack these encryption programs without additional legislation they all need to go home. More legislation that reduces our freedom is just stupid.
Can’t bust the companies giving you the keys to spy….
They can. But in some cases, especially this one, all of a sudden, gee whiz…they can’t.
I believe the CIA helped start up Signal for use by various parties who I’m sure they wanted to keep tabs on as well. And I think they’d prefer these various parties think their stuff is secure, so they’ll keep it available.
Their evil is relentless.
“If you do not choose to give up some private communication tools in order to make the USA a safer place, then you don’t care about the security of President Trump or something. That’s the rapidly approaching talking point from the professionally republican.’
Benjamin Franklin’s reply: Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety.
Well, let’s see, just about everyone who works in tech uses some form of encrypted communications and didn’t the government sell all our manufacturing out to the other countries so that we became a “service oriented” “global” country or something like that? And doesn’t the onion router provide “foreign” communication lines or something like that?
I swear… see how dumb (purposefully) I sound? Our politicians are even dumber.
This is an example of what you said, under obama. and now under the rug forgotten.

hardwire hack. built in to the assembly
And they can’t find out who left coke in the White House???
According to Dan Bongino’s sources, the FBI knows who it belonged to…they just don’t want to say. The coverup, including directions from former SS Director Kim Cheatle, are being exposed.
Perhaps we can use encryption after we remove our shoes?
Hey Lindsey, get her done!
“All your comms are belong to us. ”
-Derp State
“Rep. Michael Waltz (R-Fla.), one of 13 lawmakers…”
Yeah. I know the guy. I’ve watch the guy from down here in SWFL.
First class snake. He has the voters fooled up there.
I have telegram. To read stuff from both sides about Ukraine.
Arrest me..
I used telegram daily to chat with family, we’re a threat I guess.
You know, I was raised as a southern lady who was taught to not use such language, and that it was a sin to do so, but “F*ck ’em.”
Preach it, sister! 😁
too many cooks
too many parties, and I do not mean political ones
“We never should have agreed to start taking off our shoes at the airport.”
Agreed.
With that in mind, just as a thought provoking exercise, review the chart linked to below and start thinking about which departments / agencies / positions a patriot would eliminate / disband for the 2025 Executive Branch to get the USA back under the constitution.
President Trump gives us a once-in-a-lifetime constitutional-do-over for the Executive Branch. I am sure he would be open to good ideas from his MAGA / America First movement.
Below is a link to the circa 2024 organization chart that includes the Executive Branch.
https://www.usgovernmentmanual.gov/ReadLibraryItem.ashx?SFN=Myz95sTyO4rJRM/nhIRwSw==&SF=VHhnJrOeEAnGaa/rtk/JOg==
Pretty sure this mess started long before taking off our shoes at the airport. How about not going off the gold standard? And not pretending that we are subject to admiralty law statutes and corporation government bylaws while living on dry land?
This is proof the NSA database needs to be leveraged for destruction, including all Tech companies that have ever participated in it, with a full public disclosure of how it was done
Can’t help us, even after the fact. but, it can hurt us after the fact (J6)… then what good is it for us??????
How do we even know that it was Crooks who actually set up those encrypted accounts…
It could have been an organization whose encrypted initials are VTTT, or DJB.
So websites like Telegram and Signal are breeding grounds for terrorists? LOL. I even think that I get a message on either WhatsApp or Messenger that my texts are encrypted. This whole thing about Crooks using encrypted websites is just a distraction or excuse in order to legislate against them.
Now that’s plausible
We’ve been here and done that before. Why would anyone agree to this? Encrypted messages aren’t the problem with the assassination attempt on PDJT. This is a red herring.
Does anyone want to bet that Lindsey Graham codes his messages to friends and fiends?
He probably meets them in some dark alley instead.
notice how they are not concerned about how it was our own government that coordinated the assassination attempt and then worked to cover it up.
You’ll never convince me that high-level GOP folks didn’t know there were plans to take-out Trump. Just like the 2020 Steal and the upcoming 2024 Steal. They are fully aware.
I never agreed to take off my shoes at the airport . . . or anywhere, for that matter.
.
Ouch! I don’t care what the repukes think about all this. Especially lindsey. If they really gave two rats’ butts, they would be working in dc. There are a couple who have been doing some good detective work…but the committee? Forget about it!
lindsey doesn’t care about encryption. We have no liberties at this time in history. It is becoming more and more obvious every day…in my life I experience nonsense that is beyond imagination. It is all BS.
The little twerp is dead and gnashing his teeth in hell. So be it. Those who provided him assistance in some or any form will not be punished.
We best prepare for hard times with all manner of chaos from many quarters…NOT JUST THE GOVERNMENT, even when Trump wins.
Thank you Sundance. Blessings.
I’ve never ever had to use the word “liar” so much in my life, including with my cheating ex-wife. I really don’t believe anything that comes from the bowels of gopE beast. It doesn’t stop until that gopE private country club is a smoldering heap of ashes.
How about releasing epstien’s list? Let’s make that transparent. Oh by the way, they have no problem de-encrypting these encryption products. Therefore, it is theatre to invade our privacy, which further attacks our 4th amendment.
Notice the real question was not discussed …. who was on the receiving and sending end of the messages associated with those accounts … US, Belgium, Germany, New Zealand … sounds like EU and 5-Eyes hubs …. just helping the curious cat focus a little bit.
What else is in Belgium? NATO.
It’s an odd locale for communications for a kid from Pennsylvania, methinks.
EUSSR
Yup, the European Union is just the former Soviet Union shifted westward.
“Why does a 19-year-old kid who is a health care aid need encrypted platforms not even based in the United States, but based abroad – where most terrorist organizations know it is harder for our law enforcement to get into?” asked Waltz. (read more)
Where did a 19-year-old kid find out about these foreign encrypted platforms? At the shooting range, perhaps?
So obvious now…
Crypto wallet safety? Gone.
Tik Tok? Gone or modified.
Comms with lawyers? Gone.
Total control. Everyone is compromised.
Can someone prove he was walking in the rally, while he was being reported as sitting on the bench by the roof where he shot President Trump?
I agree.
Maybe the one sitting on the bench was Yearick. <<< 👀
I can’t get into Grassleys website to get the text because its blocking it saying I dont have access.
strange.
Could we get a legislative ban on Lindsey Graham?
Lindsey,
If secrets are of such concern
-to our national security:
WHY is Obamboozler’s personal information/ records
-STILL
hidden?
WHY hasn’t ALL of the money sent to Ukraine been accounted for?
WHO has been/is really running the USA?
How about you do the job you are supposed to do…
-Be accountable!
Lucky for us they picked a dolt.
This looks like the Patriot Act all over again. If there’s a way to get around the govt spying, then the govt will create an incident so they can outlaw that method. This is becoming very predictable. And, of course, only the politically well connected and govt pedophiles will be using the outlawed software without fear of retribution.
Maybe I should start using Thor full time to browse the Web….
Heck, my work VPN is also encrypted.
DISTRACTION.
Please stop being infatuated about this patsy. He wasn’t the real shooter. Instead, find out who was.
If he would have been taken alive, he would have said “I’m just a patsy”…just like Oswald said upon his capture…
if a guy in the rally video taped Crooks walking far away from the shooting spot, while a Butler Police sniper texted he sees the boy (Crooks) on the bench by the roof – then we got a problem where the shooter is not identified.
if I am stupid on this, someone correct it. so it can be moved on from.
Go to this site. https://www.grassley.senate.gov/
Look at the text messages – see a time zone and provide (someone)
Grassley has his site blocking some people from accessing.
This time the Deep State killed the patsy right at the scene, instead of letting a paid operative/night club owner do the hit at the jail.
I would really like to know why we can’t sue these incompetent, arrogant creeps for dereliction of duty? They continue to try to strip us of every right, flagrantly waste our taxpayer dollars on crap we don’t approve of, and lie and lie and lie trying to convince us to agree to their criminal conduct.
I’ve HAD IT with these people – R/D, doesn’t matter. I’m in one of those “burn the damned thing down and start over” moods today. Ugh.
because you do not have a government
you have two parties pretending to represent as they skin you alive.
Senator Langford did the Immigration bill that is the Weapon Obama is using to hammer President Trump as blocking the best immigration bill ever led by a Republican.
Yep, Mitch and team wrote it and Lankford put his name on it.
Some people really are that stupid.
–
When my elderly mother would fly and was required to take her shoes off by TSA she would say, “ For Lord’s sake, I can’t bend over. If you want them off you’ll have to take them off.” It was hysterical to watch the commotion she caused but they did take her shoes off and put them back on for her!
Good for her!
If only there were an agency, I’m just spitballin’ here, maybe a “National Security Agency” that could give us (at the least) metadata?
You can’t stop the signal
Oh great, the repubs are very concerned, let’s form a committee and let’s have some hearings, and let’s do nothing…
Never let a crisis go to waste. Operation SNAFU continues and we the people lose like always. To hell with these people who pretend to want to help us and our country!
Next up. Lets ban rallies….
Why aren’t Republicans asking who pulled USSS from Trump’s rally? Was it Cheatle?
It’s been a month and a half and still no answers to basic questions. Why?
Little Orphan Annie Decoder Badges just went up in value.
It’s laziness and incompetence that pushes this. If you think for one minute that publically available encryption programs cannot be broken by one or more 3 letter agencies, you are naive. They push this crap to make it easier for the lazy buffoons that aren’t qualified for the jobs they are supposed to be doing. Just like FISA 702.
