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.

I said she can’t be trusted.

Tulsi Gabbard’s Sudden Consciencehttps://newswithviews.com/tulsi-gabbards-sudden-conscience/
“On 2/21/22 Tulsi’s name still appeared on Schwab’s WEF Young Global Leaders list. Less than month later her name was scrubbed from list of Young Global Leaders on WEF’s web site. Almost 300 powerful people in USA are listed as Klaus Schwab minions for his Global Reset into Global Marxism. Gabbard’s been saying lots of things seeming on the surface to align with Republican Party Platform positions. Yet she remained member of Socialist Democrat Party until 30-days out from mid-term election cycle. She wouldn’t be the first democrat to run for office as a Republican or Independent that wasn’t really Republican, Independent, or conservative-what we call ‘RINOs’ in Republican Party, pretend conservatives in speech but not in practice after elected. Tulsi endorses Biden in 2020 & is a Klaus Schwab trained ‘global leader’ whether she still appears on their web site or not”

What a disappointment! Not so much Tulsi’s now support of the FISA-702, as sad as that is, but that she actually folded on a belief she held strongly.
If Tulsi can fold on this, then that shows that she perhaps can be manipulated. Exactly what the intelligence community is looking for.
We shall see.
You don’t know she folded on a belief.
She may be calculatingly preparing for the day she destroys the bastards that demand she supports their schemes.
I would hope those here recognize that possibility and don’t aid her enemies by condemning her so casually.
“That last part is important because, if confirmed as DNI, Gabbard would need to certify the statute annually”
Curious what the requirements are for certifying it’s renewal.
Perhaps someone can throw sand in the gears when it is again shown to have been abused by the IC.
that never happens. Sounds good, but if she didn’t truly fold, she wouldn’t be approved. Still would rather have her in that spot, she’s about as good as could be confirmed (see Kavanaugh, Coney Barrett, etc).
REPEAL THE 17’TH – the only way to slow down this nonsense.
How do you expect to see them hold her feet to the fire on such a thing?
There is no employment contract with them, she doesn’t sign in blood or deliver up her first born as collateral.
Yes to repealing the 17th. It is time to make such a noise across this land that none do not know that through foreign intrigue our Constitution was warped to grant those powers near complete control of our lives and futures and make a mockery of our freedoms.
My exact thoughts.
I think she’s just saying whatever just to get confirmed honestly. Even as a democrat Tulsi was against 702
🎯
I hope so, but….
Or once she’s in she will do the right things. Dare to dream
If Tulsi didn’t say yes the RINOS would not confirm her. In any event, Tulsi will do what President Trump tells her to do. Her opinion or feelings is irrelevant!
Is Trump folding as well???
Nope.
Shes playing their game.
Nothing more “left to see”.. every politician in the US is under the control of the unelected Deep State
Her and anyone else that they put up for the spot has to agree or they will not be approved. Then who will you end up with? Having said that, she could have dug her heels in and made a big stink out of it just to make the point. She might not get approved but it would make it a public discussion. That could be interesting to watch it play out.
Not as big a public stink if she refuses to recertify it at the end of the year.
And testify to Congress with specific reasons.
I like your thinking.
is she married? does she have kids? If neither, then she could do what you suggest.
She is married, on her second marriage.
Yes … Married.
Just goes to show you how corrupt our government is. Unfortunately, this republic is doomed. We shall see. Maybe she’ll flip back and I hope she does. I don’t trust anyone.
REPEAL THE 17’TH
this is not our govt and the republic isnt doomed, because it already died. time to throw out the old corpse and make something new.
Best post in the thread.
Why would we trust anyone that is utterly without hope and spreading his conviction of doom?
Don’t you have a sandwich board for that?
Can’t these nominees just say “Sure thing, daddy-o! I support it!” Get in, and welch?
The left lies all the time.
What am I missing?
YM
Absolutely
Exactly. Just like the Uniparty RINO’s who campaign as MAGA and then revert to Uniparty as soon as they take their seat in Congress. We can play that game, too. Say whatever is necessary to get into a position, and then go MAGA full steam ahead.
Right on! I hope that is the plan. Just like DJT flooding the zone with all these ideas, get the opposition preoccupied with Canada/Greenland, etc, while he’s doing something else they didn’t see coming.
It is the way.
Wouldn’t they be lying under oath which is punishable.? The left does it and gets away with it because of they belong to the uniparty.
Eff Em.
Like someone noted earlier, she can Evolve.
Liberals love Evolution, and we should too!
I like it. She could be transform her way of thinking on the subject at any time really. Who’s to say?
maybe some “wise abuela” might fill her in on a couple details she wasn’t aware of and
“oops – changed my mind!”
Could not “could be”.. damn you Auto-insert..
How many times have spineless RINOs promised certain things, then betrayed us “after they had been taken to the SCIF and briefed on ‘national security matters'”? EVERY SINGLE TIME!
So why couldn’t that be her “reason” for changing her mind?? In the meantime, she can accumulate proof of treason on the part of Warner, Mueller, Stroke, every CI person, and blackmail them if they threaten her.
Honestly, this is just the first round of their efforts to get her out. They will continue.
Supporting it when coming into office then changing your mind after one year because you recognize the potential for abuse is perfectly acceptable and legal behavior.
Seven ways to Sunday comes to mind.
Agree…just tell them what they want to here.Politicians do it to us daily
She might as well lie to get confirmed then not authorize it’s ongoing renewal. No loss as far as
“tracking terrorists”. This corrupt gov only tracks the terrorist trash they’re paying for false flag attacks anyway
Certain SCOTUS judges have done this repeatedly.
Turnaround is fair play, but somehow the deceptions never work like that. The Deep State takes detailed notes and punishes officials for any backsliding on the issues they care about. The American public does not. Even Conservative activist groups do not.

Crossfire Hurricane 4: In Crowdstrike We Trust
Punch Bowl News Commercial
Test..nvm me. Just checking out some ad blocking
its getting really bad on certain browsers
It comes and goes.
Only this site for me.
ublock origin cannot be easily implemented to android mobiles. ( I consider unlock origin to be one of the most effective ways to not only block adware but also improves the speed and experience of browsing…Google will soon attempt to drive it out of the playstore and that is not a good thing for those of us who want the benefits of not having our time and resources tied up with popups about erectile dysfunction and weight loss magic powder)
we are working on a next generation unlock that should be able to meet the legal requirements of Google chrome and help solve some of this crap.
As other have pointed out, using other browsers to view CTH is a good solution, but I am looking for a solution that does not require me to have to have so many different browser platform to do the kinds of things I want to do. Chrome is actually quite good and fast, with ublock installed as an extension. the problem happens for me when using chrome on a Android phone where it’s not possible to have unlock as an extension or even as a standalone app.
I use a VPN that has some capability to drive down ads and popups, but it’s a paid VPN and not really the solution “for the masses”.
I’ve invited some people to provide google with a different way to accomplish what they want and get what we want in the same way that youtube premium was developed to accomplish…a paid version for chrome that is and free.
we are exploring this option and seeing if google is amendable to that option for people who would rather pay to have an ad free experience completely.
and yes, this can be done almost trivially by Google. Obviously so. Ublock has managed to do this for free for decades now as a simple extension…surely Google can offer a paid version for chrome and provide the same ad free experience.
I would pay 10 bucks a month for ad free chrome. just as an example of what I would be willing to pay so I don’t have to click through all that garbage that literally has collapsed my working viewable real estate by half. I spend no less than 1-3 minutes clicking away those ads and popups on my android phone…and often they just pop right back up when I go to the next page of comments.

Go along to get along. It’s a simple philosophy. All she needs to do is get confirmed. Once in office she can accurately claim that now that she’s had access to the inner workings of the fisa-702 it’s become glaringly obvious that there have been substantial abuses with the program and that the program MUST end, immediately.
But….but….but….wouldn’t that be deceiving the democrat party if she did that? Well, as a mater of fact, it’s simply taking a page out of their playbook. Deception. The democrats do it all the time.
#4): “Make the enemy live up to its own book of rules.”

I’m thinking along these lines. She can agree for a time, to get confirmed, then flip once she’s in. Congress does it all the time, only this time, the flip will actually be to the benefit of the country. She won’t be impeached.
She won’t be impeached because the majority is now Republican. Simple – if the dems can do it, so can we! Bait and switch – happens all the time.
does she have relatives, kids, significant others? The IC does not play games. They have ‘6 ways to Sunday of getting back at you’

One could support 702 but also support maximum punishment for violations of its use, as in the illegal uses of the NSA database. Nothing prevents her from fully investigating and punishing those who criminally misused it the last 8 years, if she is honest.
Bingo.

Im getting hot under the “collar” again.
Meet the new deep state. Same as the old deep state. Go into this with eyes wide open. Trump or Harris, you will live in the biomedical security and total surveillance state.
I am hopeful that Tulsi is only playing the political game…..say what you have to say to get confirmed and then step up and eviscerate the FISA 702 process. Sadly, until the MAGA movement can gain a majority in the senate and put tech billionaires in their place 702 will be a reality.
Catch-22. Any nominee who does NOT support it won’t get past the SSCI. And won’t ever be confirmed. As Sundance has explained many times.
Good thing she can change her mind or do what Trump tells her to do.
None of this is surprising.
Do you assume she flipped on her own? Wouldn’t Trump have had this discussion with her beforehand?
I wonder if we will ever have a CTH-MAGA administration as so few of the nominees seem to share our faith.
Oh well, still living my best life or something.
Trump should hold FISA-702 over the slimy SSCI’s heads for EVERYTHING he wants to get passed. AND, he should only agree to ANNUAL extensions so he can hold it over their corrupt heads for his entire presidency.
But …. but … but … without support for 702, how do you install a NSA search terminal in Steve Bannon’s den so he can do subject searches of the NSA database on whomever he wants whenever he wants? Now that I think about it, Tucker might want one too. As near as I can make out, the democrats passed out those search terminals like gift cards. So, now it’s our turn. Congress critters are off limits, but all their lackeys should worry. Oh, and deleting all your emails and text messages is meaningless. NSA has them all and you can’t delete their copies. Uh oh. Turnabout’s a bitch.
Say whatever you have to to get confirmed. Then do whatever you want. That’s how you play the game.
It’s sure as hell how the dems play the game. So now it’s precedent.
Lie to them, get the position and tell them to shove it. Dems underdtand.
If the benefit of 702 to the IC Blob depends on 702 being cross-linked to the NSA database,
and if the Blob will move mountains to make sure nominees preserve 702,
then the only solution must be that we need to ensure the END of the NSA database!
Wipe it out. Delete it. Delete the backups and the copies we give to Five Eyes. Destroy the servers it resides on. Erase the source code. Tear it down and sow the fields with salt.
Whatever “national security” pretext they claim, that database is an unacceptable risk to Liberty.

Remember, FISA goes both ways
IC will not permit confirmation unless they believe they have enough leverage to control. its simple. think about it. and they have multiple backup plans. this is the “continuity of govt crowd”
you will need to strip and burn multiple layers on multiple levels. it might take a meteor strike and civilizational collapse.
Let’s hope if true she is just telling them what they want to hear to get confirmed. Then when 702 comes up for renewal she will demand warrant less surveillance will need to be eliminated. We can only hope
So, help me understand. Can Tulsi and Kash simply SAY they support FiSA-702 to become confirmed and then, once in office, NOT support it?
Yes.
