As the Senate begins the confirmation process….. A POINT:

“If I understand this correctly, the Senate Intel Committee will only approve Trump’s nominee for ODNI if she agrees to support an un-Constitutional provision that permits the government that none of us trust to illegally surveille American citizens without a warrant…but a provision that also makes an exception for members of Congress or their staff, who presumably value their privacy and don’t want to be illegally surveilled.

Meanwhile, President Biden is preparing to issue a blanket pardon of all the bad actors who illegally surveilled, wiretapped, sued, imprisoned and tried to assassinate his political enemies, so that no one can legally surveille, wiretap, sue or imprison them…and they get off scott-free.

Do I have that right?”  ~LionTigerBear

Yes, you have that encapsulation correct.  Additionally, the discussion of Joe Biden pardons -both metered and predicted- outlines the ideological mindset behind those who believe they rule over us.

If you pull back from the granular debate and think about it, none of the FISA justifications align with reality.

The FISA system is a designated secret court system that is said to only pertain to “foreign nationals.”

Ok, so if we accept the premise. Foreign nationals do not have U.S. constitutional protection. So why does the surveillance and intercept of them require secret U.S. courts?

Confirming earlier reports, Senate Select Committee on Intelligence (SSCI) member, Senator James Lankford, appears on Meet the Press to confirm that Tulsi Gabbard’s change in position on FISA-702 now gains his supportive vote.  Senator Lankford will support Tulsi Gabbard for Director of National Intelligence.  (WATCH – prompted 1:03):

.

Senator Lankford flat out lies in his response when he says, “702 has nothing to do with American citizens.” That is a lie.  The very element “702” only pertains to an American citizen, no one else.   Foreign persons do not have constitutional protections, only American citizens do.  The FISA-702 statute is specifically designated for Americans who are “inadvertently captured” during foreign intelligence intercepts.

[Also, notice how every Sunday interview begins with a media demand that California be financially supported by congress.  They never did that for Western North Carolina.]

Vice President JD Vance appears on Fox News Sunday to discuss current events and political intents for the Trump-Vance administration.

Starting with a pledge to make sure an efficient FEMA responds to the needs of California fire victims, Vance then moves on to discuss the border objective on day #1, the deportation agenda and the measures the Trump administration will take to shut down the open southern border.

Vance then moves to discussing the economic agenda and onto the objectives of the Trump administration to pardon January 6th detainees.  For those J6 protestors who committed “acts of violence,” there will be no sympathy.  However, for those who are incarcerated simply for walking through the Capitol building, pardons will be considered.  WATCH:

As noted by Politico, Special Prosecutor Jack Smith has officially resigned from his position in the DOJ targeting effort of President Trump.

Smith was enlisted by Joe Biden and Attorney General Merrick Garland to lead the first ever criminal targeting of a former U.S. President.  The Lawfare that underpinned the efforts of Jack Smith was created by current and former DOJ officials who weaponized the justice system.

Names like Norm Eisen, Andrew Weissmann, Barry Berke and Mary McCord rest in the margins of every lawfare filing and approach deployed by Jack Smith and his insufferable team of political ideologues.

Jack Smith departs the DOJ having succeeded in fabricating labels for President Trump, “first ever indicted” … “first ever tried criminally” etc.  However, Smith failed to deliver on any of the prosecutorial hopes of those who followed the fabrications, because the constructs were only framed to deliver labels.

WASHINGTON DC – Special counsel Jack Smith has completed his work on two criminal investigations of President-elect Donald Trump and resigned Friday from the Justice Department.

Word of Smith’s departure came in a footnote to a court filing Justice Department officials submitted to U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon Saturday afternoon, urging her not to extend a court order she issued last week temporarily blocking the release of the final report Smith submitted to department leaders on Tuesday.

Washington DC is creating a surveillance state.  We can debate the motives and intentions behind it, but the core of their creation aligns and supports a fully comprehensive American surveillance state.

We cannot be intellectually honest with each other about how the tools of a weaponized government were deployed against Americans, specifically in the example of presidential candidate Donald Trump, without accepting the tools exist for far more consequential reasons than just Donald Trump.

In this segment from April of 2024, Tucker Carlson (motive irrelevant) accurately outlined the purpose of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) and how that legislatively created tool is being used by Washington DC, both parties.

Within this monologue Tucker Carlson hits on some accurate points to share with his audience.  The commentary about HPSCI Chairman Mike Turner is spot on accurate.  The IC pressure meetings are also true {SEE HERE}. The analysis of Speaker Mike Johnson also appears to be widely accurate.   WATCH:

My personal experience with the IC surveillance state mirrors that described by Tucker Carlson.  As you step into the world of real data, unfiltered by the systems intended to control our perspectives, the system tends to see you as a threat.

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.

This is not the first time the 11th CCA has ruled in favor of Jack Smith.  This is the same federal circuit court who said they defer any/all definitions of classified documents and national security matters to the executive branch, in a prior ruling that supported the lawfare operation.

Today the 11th CCA has ruled that part-1 of Jack Smith’s political report outlining the purposes and intents of his 3-year-long prosecution of Donald Trump for refusing to accept the fraudulent 2020 election.   The second part of the report on the Mar-a-Lago documents case will not be released due to ongoing litigation against other defendants.

WASHINGTON – […] The Atlanta-based 11th Circuit Court of Appeals’ ruling Thursday night left in place an order from U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon — the judge in one of those cases — that in its current form bars Attorney General Merrick Garland from releasing the report through at least Sunday.

The Justice Department could challenge Cannon’s order, triggering another round of emergency court proceedings. At the same time, Trump’s allies could challenge the appeals court ruling, perhaps by seeking relief from the Supreme Court. The high court on Thursday turned down Trump’s attempt to stave off sentencing for his criminal conviction in his New York hush money case.

President Trump’s lawyers were allowed to view a preliminary draft of Jack Smith’s report from the documents case in Florida, under strict rules. After a review, the lawyers wrote to the DOJ demanding the political lawfare report not be released [PDF HERE].

Obviously, the report is a political hit job intended to target the transition process.

Because there are still two codefendants in the case, Judge Aileen Cannon has issued an injunction blocking the release of the report until after an appellate court can hear arguments.

FLORIDA – […] Cannon’s order, issued at the request of two Trump allies who were co-defendants in the classified documents case, bars the Justice Department from releasing the report or any portion of it until three days after a federal appeals court rules on the issue.

The order bars Garland, the Justice Department, Smith and “all of their officers, agents, and employees, and all persons acting in active concert or participation with such individuals” from “releasing, sharing, or transmitting the Final Report or any drafts of such Report outside the Department of Justice.”

Cannon’s order does not apply to Trump or his co-defendants, even though Smith contends they inappropriately revealed aspects of the report — which they have reviewed in recent days — in a Monday court filing. In that filing, Trump revealed Smith described him as “engaged in an unprecedented criminal effort,” as “the head of the criminal conspiracies” and said he harbored a “criminal design.” (read more)

We are in an abusive relationship with govt.

If you could take High Resolution pictures from the J6 crowd and run them through Palantir’s facial recognition software, you would note some of the images are oddly blurred during the result. [I’ve seen it] This outcome is due to definitions in the software that remove certain classified results, per the contracted partnership.

I have been deep into this matrix for more than a moment. Earlier today Mike Benz said, “In 2021, I spent literally hundreds of hours on the Jan 6 pipe bomber. One thing I never published until now still bothers me to this day: I believe the FBI, in addition to nuking the frame rate on the DNC security camera, blurred the eyes so no one could ID based on biometrics.“….. Interestingly, I can not only confirm Benz’s suspicions, I have witnessed the outcome. You might even call this the beta test for what lies ahead.

In 2021, I spent literally hundreds of hours on the Jan 6 pipe bomber.

You see, the product that Palantir (Thiel) and the aligned group of beneficiaries from the NEW, updated, surveillance tech state has created, needs to have certain parameters in order to qualify for lucrative contracts under the auspices of ‘national security.’ They needed a package that allowed control of outcomes.  Those specially defined people are ghost walkers.

As we celebrate the gaslighting embarrassment, also known as the fourth anniversary of the FBI’s fedsurrection, we would be wise to remember the operational motives and intents. The FBI previously laughed in the faces of the general population. The DC-based FBI sent out the following message.

During an earlier press conference, the police were not 100% certain of the identity of the driver of the Tesla Cybertruck that exploded in front of Trump International Hotel in Las Vegas and were awaiting DNA verification.

The police have now confirmed the identity as Matthew Livelsberger, 37, an active-duty Army soldier who was based in Germany and home in the USA on leave.

(Via Reuters) […] the FBI said it was not yet clear if the blast was an act of terrorism. The FBI said it had so far found no definitive link between the New Year’s Day New Orleans truck attack that killed 15 people and the Cybertruck explosion in Las Vegas later on the same day, which left seven people with minor injuries.

The Cybertruck driver was identified as Matthew Livelsberger, 37, an active-duty Army soldier from Colorado Springs, and police said he acted alone.

Livelsberger killed himself with a gunshot to the mouth, police said, citing a report from the Clark County Coroner/Medical Examiner, according to a post on X by the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department.
