Pavel Durov and his brother Nikolai are genuinely brilliant tech programmers, mathematicians and entrepreneurs.  The Durov brothers founded the Telegram communication app in 2013.  Telegram now has 950 million active users who can send messages, photos and videos, take part in chats for groups of up to 200,000 people and broadcast to unlimited audiences.

Telegram is the preferred messaging and communication app for those concerned with privacy.  In my own travels, plans and purposeful interactions, I use Telegram frequently.  It is the best communication tool available, and the tech interface is brilliant. However, various government agencies hate Telegram because of the privacy it provides.

Pavel and Nikolai Durov are originally Russian; their app was created and tested deep inside the surveillance state.  The Russian government could not compromise it, and Pavel’s unwavering perspective on private communication has been thoroughly tested in subsequent years.  Telegram is a success because Pavel Durov has proven he is trustworthy.

Pavel Durov was just arrested by the French government for refusing to compromise on the user privacy of his app.

ReclaimTheNet – […] Pavel Durov, the founder and CEO of the encrypted messaging app Telegram, was arrested this Saturday evening, according to French media.

The incident occurred at Le Bourget Airport just as Durov, accompanied by a bodyguard and a woman, disembarked from his private jet. Durov, who holds dual Franco-Russian citizenship and is 39 years old, had just arrived from Azerbaijan.

The arrest was executed by members of the GTA (Gendarmerie of Air Transport), acting on a French search warrant. This warrant, issued by the OFMIN of the national directorate of the French judicial police, was based on allegations that Telegram’s operational policies — specifically its lack of censorship and lack of cooperation with law enforcement’s censorship demands, along with features such as disposable phone numbers and cryptocurrency transactions — indirectly support illicit activities.

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.

Never to be accused of doing anything timely for the American people, the republicans on the House Oversight, Judiciary and Ways and Means committees just released a 291-page report today [full pdf here], highlighting the evidence of Joe Biden’s corruption in office.

The Republicans couldn’t wait to send money to Ukraine. The same Republicans rushed a FISA reauthorization bill. The Republicans also fast-tracked a Green New Deal bill under the guise of an Inflation Reduction Act, and they delivered a fake border security bill. However, it took them three years to outline Biden’s pay-to-play schemes. Go figure.

Joe Biden is heading to the exit, his cohort Kamala now represents the face of the administration, and here comes the Chaff and Countermeasures committee members with their outrage and shock.

[SOURCE pdf, page 2]

As noted by Politico, “House Republican investigators accused President Joe Biden of engaging in “impeachable conduct” as part of a long-awaited report. It’s unlikely to change a reality the party has faced for months: They don’t have the votes to impeach him.” (more)

Representative Clay Higgins is a member of the congressional investigative task force looking into the assassination attempt by Thomas Matthew Crooks against President Trump.  Rep Higgins was also doing independent research prior to his appointment to the congressional committee, and he released his preliminary report findings today [SEE HERE pdf].

There are some remarkable revelations in the 6-page pdf.  One detail outlines how it was a Butler County SWAT officer who fired the initial shot that stopped Matthew Crooks after 8 shots fired.  The Feds did not initially stop the assassin, the locals did. Another detail highlights how the Butler County coroner was not aware the FBI quickly released the body of Crooks for immediate cremation.

♦ […] “The 9th shot fired on J13 was from a Butler SWAT operator from the ground about 100 yards away from the AGR building. Shot 9 hit Crooks’ rifle stock and fragged his face/neck/right shoulder area from the stock breaking up. The SWAT operator who took this shot was a total badass; when he had sighted the shooter Crooks as a mostly obscured by foliage moving target on the AGR rooftop, he immediately left his assigned post and ran towards the threat, running to a clear shot position directly into the line of fire while Crooks was firing 8 rounds. On his own, this ESU SWAT operator took a very hard shot, one shot. He stopped Crooks and importantly, I believe the shot damaged the buffer tube on Crooks’ AR. I won’t be certain of this until I can examine Crooks’ rifle, but I’m 99% sure based upon reliable eye-witness ESU tactical officers who observed Crooks’ rifle before the FBI harvested it as evidence. This means that if his AR buffer tube was damaged, Crooks’ rifle wouldn’t fire after his 8th shot.” [Clay Higgins Report, pdf – page 4]

After two years of pre-trial litigation, and a year of trial in front of U.S. District Judge Amit Mehtata, the court has determined that Google is factually a monopoly operation in the business of online search engine use and advertising. Google is violating section 2 of the Sherman Antitrust Act by running a monopoly business model.

The court highlighted the results of Judge Mehtata review in a 286-page opinion – SEE HERE. A key excerpt is provided below:

COURT RULING pdf – […] “Google has not achieved market dominance by happenstance. It has hired thousands of highly skilled engineers, innovated consistently, and made shrewd business decisions. The result is the industry’s highest quality search engine, which has earned Google the trust of hundreds of millions of daily users.

But Google also has a major, largely unseen advantage over its rivals: default distribution. Most users access a general search engine through a browser (like Apple’s Safari) or a search widget that comes preloaded on a mobile device. Those search access points are preset with a “default” search engine. The default is extremely valuable real estate.

Because many users simply stick to searching with the default, Google receives billions of queries every day through those access points. Google derives extraordinary volumes of user data from such searches. It then uses that information to improve search quality. Google so values such data that, absent a user-initiated change, it stores 18 months-worth of a user’s search history and activity.

Putting some context data together before a video that should concern everyone.

Representative Jamie Raskin’s (U-MD) son, Tommy Raskin killed himself right after the 2020 election at the age of 25.  Congressman Raskin was diagnosed with cancer in 2022, diffuse large B-cell lymphoma.

Raskin is an angry bitter man of intemperate disposition, the archetype nihilist.  As hate consumes him, his physical persona changes with the manifestation of evil enterprise.  While his cancer is in reported remission, I would anticipate it to resurface in early 2025, after Baal has finished using him.

All of that said, Raskin is pledging to purposefully trigger a civil war within the United States if Donald Trump wins the 2024 presidential election.  {Direct Rumble Link Here} Raskin is prepared to work with Democrats and block any certification of any vote that has President Trump declared the winner.

We are not going to play the insufferable game of pretending.  The stakes are just too high.  Today, the White House deployed a cover story for the assembly that accompanied Joe Biden to Austin, Texas.

As the story is told, the event was rescheduled from July 15th until today.  However, the untold part is the major medical incident, the fall in Las Vegas, actually being the disruption covered by the COVID diagnosis.

That said, and in the interests of our upcoming election the second part of the cover-story is even more pertinent.  MEDIA: “Joe Biden travels to Austin, Texas, for an appearance at the LBJ Presidential Library to commemorate the 60th anniversary of the Civil Rights Act.”  NON-PRETENDING AMERICANS: Uh, huh. An anniversary (key word) celebration that can be postponed willy nilly, causing the venue to stop the event, send everyone home, and reschedule just for Biden.  🙄  Get it?

So, what was this cover-story for?  Well, check out the AirForce1 attendees:

Al Sharpton (MSNBC), James Clyburn (SC), Chris Coons (DE), Raphael Warnock (GA) and Steven Horsford (NV). A coalition of allies in the 2024 ballot assembly and scanning system. Additionally, Alex Padilla (CA), Chuck Robb (VA), Nanette Barragan (CA-44) and Veronica Escobar (TX-16). If you want a citation on the media presentation – SEE HERE (scroll read).

Intellectually honest political followers can clearly see the race-based political assembly was a meeting to discuss 2024 ballot harvesting and precinct ballot scanning operations, using the “civil rights” trip as a cover for their assembly.

I’m going to just drop some analysis and research material quickly because the previously sparse pixels are rapidly collating into a visible picture.

Many people are well aware of that the Dept of Homeland Security, (DHS – part of the domestic Intelligence Community structure), previously triggered a myriad of activities and actions to control the online speech of Americans.

Factually, despite the previous understandings about Big Tech deplatforming, demonetization, shadow banning and censorship, it took the Twitter-File revelations to put actual context to what the FBI, DHS, CISA and various domestic intelligence communities were doing.

Immediately everyone saw how Big Tech via Twitter, Google, Instagram, Facebook, etc were using every resource to control information sharing and shut down speech.  In the bigger picture this can be looked at as an effort to control online communication.

Controlling online communication is not only about the content of the voice (under the guise of dis-mis-malinformation), but also about controlling the visibility of the scale of voices who agree.  Ultimately, it’s like an ideologically like-minded crowd in a stadium, if you can stop them at the entry points the stadium looks sparse as the crowd is forcibly turned away.  You don’t know that your opinion is held by tens of millions of people who think exactly the same way you do.

This is why I have continually pointed out that WE ARE IN THE MAJORITY, they just control the platforms that give us the online impression of size.

There is a difference between ‘the real world’, and the ‘online world’.  Tens-of-thousands of attendees to numerous and frequent Donald Trump rallies are a visual demonstration of scale, while dozens or hundreds attended the same for Joe Biden.  There are other examples like random site-specific polls (non-media influenced), spontaneous assemblies, boat parades, etc.  In every ‘real world’ example, the ordinary American electorate visibly dominate the scope of support.

At today’s House Homeland Security Committee hearing, Rep. Eli Crane (R-AZ) questioned the Commissioner of the Pennsylvania State Police, Christopher Paris, about a video he took of the Butler Township location of the assassination attempt against former President Trump.

Toward the end of his questioning, Representative Crane says he has received information that Thomas Crook’s house was scrubbed, cleaned and even silverware removed, prior to the investigative units arriving. Seems odd. WATCH:
