As the story is told [SEE HERE], and it aligns with every scintilla of researched data on the darkest and deepest elements of the Deep State, DNI nominee Tulsi Gabbard has reversed her position and will now support FISA-702, the warrantless searches of American communication and electronic metadata.
Apparently the FISA process and the 702 aspect (specific to American citizens) is the line in the sand the Senate Select Intelligence Committee has drawn. If Tulsi Gabbard does not support it, her confirmation is in doubt. As a result, she has reportedly reversed her position and now supports it.
This is absolutely par for the course.
It should be remembered, in the last reauthorization of FISA-702 congress exempted themselves from the warrantless search and surveillance system used by the U.S. Intelligence Apparatus. Congress forbids the FBI or any entity with access to the NSA database, from being allowed to use the process to search themselves or their staff. However, every other American does not enjoy this same protection.
After spending years asking every representative of consequence why they support the FISA-702 process, I can tell you every one of them says they believe it is needed because the IC tells them there are just too many domestic terror threats that need to be monitored.
It is impossible to find a person in DC who will forcefully try to stop FISA-702 reauthorization.
If you ask me why in hindsight, I now take the position that FISA-702 is the gateway to the massive surveillance system currently being put into place using Real ID and the AI facial recognition software provided by Palantir (CIA exploit). In essence, the gateway that allows the full-scale surveillance state, is opened by the prior authorization of FISA-702 that negates any 4th amendment protection.
Why? Because all of the surveillance mechanisms within the network being updated and enhanced by AI search and capture, comes from the IC being allowed to exploit the NSA database. That same database access allowance is the targeting mechanism for FISA-702. If warrantless searches of the NSA database were stopped, the Palantir/IC and Tech Bro collaboration could hit a brick wall.
Against this backdrop, the SSCI telling Tulsi Gabbard that her nomination approval is contingent upon her support for FISA-702, simply makes sense.
WASHINGTON DC – […] Multiple senators from both parties who met with the former Hawaii lawmaker in recent days told us they emerged from those sessions unsure about Gabbard’s position on the 702 program. During these meetings, senators have pressed Gabbard on her previous public statements on the issue, as well as her votes against 702 reauthorization throughout her eight years in Congress.
GOP national security hawks in particular viewed this as problematic, we’re told, fueling renewed doubts about her confirmation prospects. Sen. James Lankford (R-Okla.), a member of the Senate Intelligence Committee, suggested on a WSJ podcast Wednesday that Gabbard should disavow her previous opposition to the 702 program.
Senate Intelligence Committee Chair Tom Cotton (R-Ark.) also sent us a statement Thursday night supporting Gabbard’s 702 stance — a key indicator of how the GOP leadership is thinking about her nomination.
“Tulsi Gabbard has assured me in our conversations that she supports Section 702 as recently amended and that she will follow the law and support its reauthorization as DNI,” Cotton said.
That last part is important because, if confirmed as DNI, Gabbard would need to certify the statute annually in order for intelligence collection to continue under the 702 program. (read more)
This is also a big part of the reason why the DC Deep State will easily confirm Kash Patel to be Donald Trump’s FBI Director. Kash Patel is a big believer in the value of FISA-702.
If she supports Section 702 President Trump should withdraw her nomination.
Unfortunately, no one will get confirmed unless they do. Period!
THAT (withdrawing her nomination) would really send a message to Trump’s voters and to his
Tech Bros. (Vivek, Elon, Peter, etc., etc.).
We need our Bill of Rights to be restored. Period.
AND Constitution!
Hopefully she’s just saying that to get her foot in the door! Then work behind the scenes on reform.
Yep and I do not see anything wrong with doing that either. Fight them using their own strategy of by any means necessary.
Absolutely. Democrats run as Conservative Republicans all the time and get elected. Thus, all the RINOS.
Two Wings, One Vulture, Much Merde.
There’s no adages about one good apple un-spoiling a barrel of rotten apples for a reason: entropic, corrupting entryism doesn’t work in reverse. Entryism is the one tactic that we will never succeed in using. The only thing for the spoiled apple-barrel is to destroy it.
Then change the analogy.
Darkness flees from a single candle.
MAGA is the single candle.
Lord, keep it lit.
A co-worker once said to me: To tell you the truth, if I told you the truth, I’d be lying to you. ???
My first thought too, but time will tell.
That’s it. I’m applying for a job at Planned Parenthood.
I’ll change it from the inside. 😐
That would be nice. But it never works out that way.
Nominees always seem to get more Liberal, more authoritarian, more self-serving after they get securely into office. Very very few nominees buck that trend and stay true to the constitutional principles they claimed to embrace. The courts and the executive branch are filled with people who followed their leftist tilt.
She shoud lie to those assholes and get confirmed.
Only if she wants to become the victim of a “mugging gone bad” or a “sudden unexplained suicide” or a tragic single vehicle car accident on a deserted road.
What if she says she supports it and then back tracks after confirmation?
That would be a positive beginning to shine the light on the reality of FISA 702; nothing wrong with that.
It’s her job….
It’s possible that all these appointees might change their minds AFTER they’re confirmed.
Wink. Wink.
I’m going to live my best life AND stay under the radar.
THIS is a non-negotiable …nope, no good. No support of Section 702. Mark Warner and Tom “Sea Island” Cotton must want this for a reason.
If she supports it NOW, her stance probably won’t change.
That’s not necessarily so….
Many circumstances can and will change after she takes office that could impact her now “supposed” support of Section 702.
Exactly!
Warner and Cotton want it because the personal benefits to them from supporting 702 must be substantial, and because the personal costs to them if they publicly oppose 702 must be too harsh for them to risk.
walk away from the edge.
Pulling US over the edge is the point of such Doomerism.
So Deep State can maintain the FISC ruse to frame, plant evidence and all out lie about political adversaries leading to more lawfare indictments. Musk has cost Trump support of H1B program so the Indians will continue to flood the tech industry driving what few wages are available to American tech workers into the toilet. Obama and crew are breathlessly signing away in contracts committing (appropriating) all that Green New Deal $850 billion for garbage like windmills, solar modules, and green initiative – all direct pathways to Dem cronies/donors as payback and of course into Ukraine for a return trip to their accounts stateside. Meanwhile last evening, Roberts threw a bone to the left. Wake me up when “Happy Days are here again!”…
Wow.
Isn’t it time to stop pretending?
It isn’t going away, and this is what they want. We aren’t in the club, we never were, and never will be.
We won’t even be allowed to protest soon. What happened to the Canadian truckers will happen to us on a bigger scale.
There is no white knight coming to the rescue. We have Trump for 4 years, and whatever he is able to manage. Get out of the system as much as you can.
Challenge and change the system as much as we can.
Feeling at the fringes of their control I suspect is comforting, but Leviathan world prevail.
We are inside the monster right now, we are the ones we’ve been waiting for.
Preach not comfort in inevitable tyranny.
Its too late to change it, and I refuse to pretend.
The closest we will ever come to freedom is walking and working our own backyards, while still being taxed for it.
Life isn’t about money, its about legacy, and 95% of people born on this planet will never have either.
My legacy will be this very fight.
I refuse pretensions that it is futile.
I have not battled for my life, against all odds, with hope, without seeing that hope rewarded, in miraculous ways; and I will not now turn my back on the possibility that the Hand of Heaven will bless us and our efforts to Restore the Republic.
‘There are trillions at stake”
Disgusting.
What’s the likelihood that she let’s them think she’ll support 702, and then doesn’t when it counts?
republican supreme court judges seem to do this all the time…..
Especially Roberts
My thoughts as well. Did she ‘ pinky’ promise?
All she has to do is get confirmed, and then when it comes up say something like, “At the time, based on the information they alleged, it sounded like a good idea. After being confirmed and studying the matter with direct evidence, I’ve come to the conclusion that they lied, therefore I not only can’t trust another word out of any of them, I can’t and won’t support this particularly egregious violation of citizens’ Constitutional protections“.
Wow, it’s a good news bad news day.
What next I wonder 💭
California finds their lost water?
That is a question that is best never asked. Similar to asking, “What else can possibly go wrong?”
Tell them you support fisa-702 to get confirmed (wink-wink). Then once confirmed, say “Well I have had a change of heart and don’t believe it’s in the best interests of the nation as a whole”. Now s-can it. Lie, I didn’t lie, thought it was a good idea at the time now think it’s a bad one. I can change my mind as many of you have.
She can “evolve”.
Genau!!
She can change her position later, under Trump’s direction.
Keep flippin’ fish!
Heres hoping she mentally crossed her fingers.
I noted I hope she crosses her finger behind her back. Or are they under oath when at confirmation hearings? I would think they wouldn’t be, but I’ve never really thought of it.
Fish flop.
All we need to do is start abusing 702 to investigate corruption on Capitol Hill and they will end it the next day.
I really like that idea.
Can’t she “change her mind” once confirmed? It’s not like the intelligence community who comes before congress doesn’t lie …
Post-Confirmation Epiphany.
There’s an increasingly large part of me that believes we focused on the wrong things the past 4 years. We wanted to talk about getting Trump back into office, proving that the 2020 election was illegitimate, all the covid nonsense.
Not that those aren’t good and useful things to fight against but perhaps we should have been fighting the surveillance state. Maybe a good first step would be fight to habe ALL of the traffic cameras in our local towns and cities removed. Just as a baby step? I don’t know, I dont have any real amswers but it seems that no one will stand up to this. And despite his good intentions, Trump may not be able to.
Trump has already bought into the surveillance state
and is helping it move along without a speed bump
20 billion deal to start
Poles with cameras on them fall all the time from all kinds of accidents and things like that.
sand in the gears of the machine come in many forms
Mike Thompson: I challenged a traffic camera ticket (right turn on red) a few years ago, in court, on constitutional grounds. I knew my chances of succeeding were slim to none, but I felt it my right and duty to object to use of traffic cameras that remove humans from traffic enforcement. I discovered while in court that California “changed the rules,” so that a police officer need not appear in court to testify for routine traffic camera violations. Now, a clerk who sits at a computer, reviewing traffic videos, can be “deputized” (or whatever the legal term), in lieu of a real police officer. I wish I had the presence of mind to inform the judge that her job would be next, as she will be replaced by a clerk who can “act” as judge. Or, perhaps, the judge’s role will simply be eliminated.
This is where we are headed. Surveillance cameras and computers will serve as accuser, witness, judge and jury.
She can say anything to get confirmed and do the opposite later.
We have seen liberal SCOTUS judges do the same.
Then they can do nothing about it.
Reminds me of a recent pardon…
So, this means that Trump supports the reauthorization too? When the FISA warrant process was used against him (and likely still is) to set in motion the impeachments and lawfare, how does he square that circle?
If likely suggests VSGGEPDJT supports being Tulsi into place so she can do her part to destroy the Derp State.
It could. Then it could not.
If this is what she has to do to get confirmed, fine. Doesn’t mean that certain issues might arise to…. ummm…. change one’s stance 😉
I really like Tulsi Gabbard and I think she will make an excellent DNI!
The non pretend world in focus. Oh well…
I do not blame Tulsi. I do not blame President Trump. I blame the blasted repugnican traitors in the US Senate.
Two Wings, One Vulture, Mucho Merde.
(Jan. 2018) Washington Examiner: Trump signs FISA reauthorization, says different from law that ‘was so wrongly abused during the election’
It wasn’t different.
Perhaps he didn’t think he could do this during the Mueller Witch Hunt. Or maybe they convinced him, like the Vaxx.
ps; did I mention how Dirty Bob blew up the World Trade Center with his Saudi hired help?
Funny–FISA didn’t stop that one.
It is different.
It is much much worse.
Congress is exempted and protected (they think) and now the Derps can force any of us to betray our employers and associates by compromising networks and operations we are associated with.
Ok, so she supports it today and reverses her position once installed as the DNI. It’s not like politicians don’t do the same thing.
If you think the IC needs FISA-702 authorization to snoop anywhere they please, I have some beachfront in Arizona for sale. The only thing FISA-702 gives those b*stards is a tiny bit of cover when they are exposed.
Pretty much.
It will also be the big beautiful door used to usher in our new AI Overlords.
The only way around it is the 2026 mid-terms. We must find candidates to run in the primary now and start campaigning. Scott Presler full-court press in registration and primary turnout.
Need a super majority of MAGA reps to take over the house. We also need to flip every Senate incumbent. A bill to reverse 702 is the only way out.
Very possible but it takes us, we the people to make the push.
PDJT will lay the foundation and do what he can, but we need to have MAGA reps and senators to pass legislation to fix what was created by legislation.
Is that sort of like “trading freedom for protection?”
Since one has to lie to become an electable politician, she should lie about it and then oppose it and become a fighter for freedom. Ha, one could only wish.
F-702 is America’s Highway to Hell.
“I personally support it, but of course, I will follow the policies set out by President Trump.”
Or after she’s confirmed, “I supported it, but now that I’ve seen how it’s actually been misused, I oppose it.”
It is hard to imagine Senators and a privileged class being exempted from Surveillance just on technical grounds. Current collection methods collect everything. How can activities of anyone be exempted? Sure you can write filters, or exceptions into code, but it won’t filter out everything. And it won’t filter out extraction of the data of the closely associated people.
Since we (or someone) has the data, I believe we have every reason to be looking very closely at what the Clintons and obamas were doing. Look at everyone who was influencing Joe/Jill Biden. Look at Soro’s data, Rockerfellers, look at everyone found to be perpetuating:
DEI agendas and discrimination
Attorney general selection and their actions
communication with anyone, especially officials, before they make a lot of money on stock purchases
See who communicates with the K street lawyers who draft legislation according to corporate greed and WEF agenda
We have the artificial intelligence to see everything going into policy decisions
Analyze any changes in behavior and activity by anyone after they travelled to DAVOS or Sea Island
Everything we do is seen by God anyway, and true character is revealed by what we do when we are not observed
Put it all out there and let everyone see it. We the People can quickly sort out the sheep from the Goats; The royal priesthood and ambassadors of light from the snakes in the grass and the prowling lions of Satan.
If they are going to overpower us and bribe/manipulate us over the existence of the IC surviellance system, then let’s use it to truly clean house and the swamp.
While they’re at it, Take a good long look at Big Pharma and their push for the lgbtqxyz to get to the sterilization and mutilation of healthy young people.
Oh, I didn’t even get started on the Health Care Industrial Complex. I think that is even more guarded than FISA 702
The entire US Congress is, by their own decree, Ghost Walkers.
“These aren’t the Tyrannobots duh AI will permit you to see.”
Stolen elections have severe consequences, with the last four years being nothing but a fortification to the tyrants. Stick a fork in it folks… the Constitution is no more in the eyes of those empowered to uphold it. contract null and void
Get confirmed then reverse course citing changed circumstances and instances of abuse. Good luck, Senator, on impeaching her.
Taqiyya ?
With their endless polytheism I suspect a similar concept exists in Hinduism.
She could “change her mind” after being confirmed the next time it comes up for renewal I suppose
The cabal never trusted a hand shake or a person’s word. So, let’s not pretend.
With them, it is always blackmail with a promise of reward for good behavior.
Disgusting, but effective.
Sounds like they came up with something on Tulsi or a loved one. 🙁
Hmmm. So is this a bad thing? And is this what connects the Uniparty?
I hope she does lie to them.
They’re not owed the truth.
Only a Tribunal.
Psalm 1:5
Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the assembly of the righteous.
She should offer them a deal, “yes I’ll support it if it covers everyone, no exclusions. E.V.E.R.Y.O.N.E.”
They’ll refuse it of course, but it will draw attention to their own petty special privacy and questions of why they think they need it if they are not crooks.
excellent!!! RAC!
Think we are living the parable of the tiger chasing it’s own tail and leading to it’s destruction. This will literally blow up the constitution and our founding father’s focus on civil liberties. We are at an irreconcilable singularity of our existence.
So why not lie and say you support then don’t support once confirmed? Politicians lie all the time. What would they do to her if she lies?
… the situation is hopeless! The state apparatus runs the country… rubes can eat cake!
… besides, Congress are fine with FISA… it’s a lost battle… live with it now… fact of life.
… NO! You can’t keep the Republic!
Keep on moping, oh great white whale.
The FBI uses surveillance to black male politicians all the time.
Gee, that sounds both racist and sexist! <grins>
If I were advising Tulsi Gabbard, I’d tell her to support FISA-702 to get confirmed and, after assuming her position, find some heretofore undetected glitz in the way the law is written as an excuse to withdraw her support.
Easy-peasy! What are they going to do, unconfirm her?
Yup.
We can then turn her onto a super secret source for finding sound objections.
Our Constitution.
I posted a comment a few days ago about the investment of AI data centers and privacy
[click here for link]
If We the People are under a microscope, then let us overwhelm evil with good. Start serving each other and governing by overwhelming action our own communities. Lets speak boldly about who we are, what we want, and what we think of those who are trying to destroy us.
Use every means at our disposal within the law to throw sand in the machinery. Make them enforce unjust law. Ridicule them. Force them to maim and kill us blatantly. They have already been doing it and plan to continue clandestinely, but expose it.
The more we force contrast of good and evil, love vs pride, greed and lust, the more discomfort we cause them. The most powerful means of carrying the message is to be as much like God, in strength and humility, as we can.
Use these echo chambers to learn, reinforce, and refine our convictions; Seek God’s truth and perspective, execute God like fruit in our lives and our tracks (NSA surveillance be damned), and be a light. Make a difference.
We must not let them squelch the Spirit of God, the Spirit of ’76 in us.
Damn the (NSA surveillance) Torpedoes!! Full Speed ahead.
If the Deep State/WEF feels threatened by PDJT, wait until our exponentially growing activation of We the People reaches Tipping point! The fruit is already being borne. Not hopey changey, trust the 4D chess plan stuff. Rather, it will be changes in me individually and you individually, and the impact we have on those immediately around us.
Start today. Be different between now and when you go to bed. Then tomorrow start over and do even better.
We are being called.
With the power that is being built, our post-resistance slaughter can be effected in a manner that none ever connect to our righteous stance.
Yes Heaven sees all, but when the law becomes tyranny, obedience becomes sin, n’est-ce pas?
I have been searching for hills worthy to charge where I might be effective. The problem is they are all small hills in small silos, collectively meting destruction.
I understand, but if the spirit moves me to charge I am ready, as I am sure you are, to water the tree with hope and faith that it will make a difference — if nothing else, in the spiritual realm. I believe, however that we should be a good steward of our physical lives as well, treated as a blessing for Him, to be used wisely.
I hear you and know your heart is true; I intend to pursue righteousness too, but I cannot help but see that the day will come where I will most assuredly mean to misbehave.
I hear you brother
Disaster. The pockmark scars were a dead give away and I ignored it. Most of the war mongers and Ukraine gifting marxists all bear deep pockmarks. She too is a traitor. This is worse than a disaster. The false Hindu Gods bring the Alex Karps Beast system to life. The Leviathon rises.
Really? Acne scars bother you?
They ALL bear this mark check for yourself. Langford, Warner Blumenthal Rubio, Cruz, on and on both parties.
Do you have other evidence to connect pockmarks to Traitors of the US?
Communications with handlers would be highly revealing.
I wonder if they go out at 0400 like those for the MarxMerdia do?
She just rubber stamped you for the system of the beast. Enjoy your subjugation. We all should have known when the false hindu gods appeared at the RNC, sit back and gaslight while the Leviathon rises if you like. Your pretending is not my obligation
Alrighty, then!
I’m going to go out on a limb and call it now: HD is a sockpuppet of our assigned Psyopsters and meant to flame out in a glorious well earned banning.
No.
It’s just a clever Game Plan.
Well, not so clever . . .
A ‘glever Pame Clan’, then?
<smiles>
Kinda like ‘rarping weality’, ain’t it? <grins>
OK Tulsi Gabbard. Accept the Senate Select Intelligence Committee terms and make sure ‘THEY’ are the first to receive FISA-702 surveillance after your confirmation.
Then, other corrupt members of Congress and the corrupt members of the Judiciary.
Then, the corrupt State government officials. Then, corrupt IC officials. Then, …
Prioritize the Ghost Walkers.
Which status, of course, Congress voted for themselves.
Whom the Derps protect must be the most scrutinized.
Maybe she is just saying she supports it then will get rid of it once confirmed? Dems go back on their word all the time.
Yup!
Post-confirmation she can discover her Conscience and the Constitution.
~hopium
Doomerism.
Transparently manipulative Psyopism.
ok Lucy
Ok, Putz.
Bien joue’, mon ami!
Can congress members be surveilled and have databases searched if there is a warrant?
Yes, they tried to exempt themselves in that last 1,500 page CR. I believe they were trying to protect that illegal and corrupt Jsix committee l
TY, TT.
There was no try.
When Evil Mike reauthorized FISA, past tense, Congress became Ghost Walkers, protected by The Machine, ever unseen.
At the same time he expanded FISA to enable the Derps to force anyone even peripherally connected with a network or online entity to perform surveillance and compromise their organization and anyone that engages it and to do so in complete silence, at risk of devastating consequences for refusing or revealing the compromise.
Evil Mike made us subjects of an all powerful tyranny worse than the Stasi by orders of magnitude.
Lord help us…I hope this is a play but time will tell. I seriously have run out of trust.
Can they renege after confirmation ?
Can Trump eliminate it through executive order ?
Can u veto the next congressional reauthorization ?
He. Autocorrect is crap.
Auto-Smell Stinks!
Yeah, I’d probably say what I had to get the job…then gut the system.
“can tell you every one of them says they believe it is needed because the IC tells them there are just too many domestic terror threats that need to be monitored.”
Too many domestic terrorists – that they know about but do nothing, convince them/entrap them to become terrorists, OR aid and abet them.
Come on, now. Are we really surprised? They’re all bought and paid for. All of them. Doesn’t matter which side of the aisle they’re on.
our founding fathers would be getting these peoples a–es for this unconstitutional law…..this is what commie countries do….secret courts….needs to be abolished and she needds to NOT get confirmed if she supports it and any one else….time to kick congresses’ as-…..
PDJT will maneuver as he sees fit and necessary.
We need to ensure he is informed, but also need to recognize that not every move will correspond with our own wishes to destroy them all right the hell now.
Congress exempted themselves from the Warrantless search and the ‘Experimental’ Shot and Obamacare too…..
Absolutely criminal what these Lawyer Politicians get away with…..Remember, almost half of Congress are Lawyers…..
All of Congress are now Ghost Walkers protected by and indebted to the bloody Fourth Branch.
We are ruled by the UnDead.
Parfait!
Like George Carlin said – “Its a big club and you ain’t in it”
It’s a big Panopticon, and none escape it.
