HR7521 – TikTok Ban Assurances and Those Who Remember Patriot Act Assurances

Serendipitously, or not – depending on who you talk to, I was previously scheduled to be in DC at the moment of inflection for the passage of HR7521, the proverbial “TikToK Ban Law.”   Allow me to encapsulate the issues and present the point of those who say there is nothing to worry about.

First, the context that should matter (it doesn’t because the USIC are in charge here) is that every element that preceded the passage of the Patriot Act is being duplicated in the passage of the TikTok ban.  Which is to say, everyone is deferring to this ridiculous need to support USA National Security.

We The People have been burned by this approach before, yet so many refuse to see the similarity.

Second, the essential shield for those who support the bill [READ HR7521] comes down to the term “Foreign Adversary”, which is defined in the bill as Russia, China, North Korea and Iran.  As they make the case, TikTok ban advocates cite the content or platform of the issue must originate from, and/or be controlled by, a foreign adversary…. so quit worrying.

However, the legislative language cites Foreign Adversary Controlled Application (FACA), which applies to content providers, apps, websites, social media and hosting platforms.  This is where things get sketchy, because “under the direction of” is language that is included in the legislation, and the determinations of “at the direction of” are made by the Attorney General.

If the content, platform, website, or social media app generates content that is considered a national security threat, and providing information therein that is deemed to be under the control of a “foreign adversary,” it is the content within, not necessarily the platform ownership itself, that transfers compliance inquiry to the U.S government (DOJ Attorney General) for definitions.

Judge Scott McAfee Confirms Ruling on Fani Willis Removal Will Be Released Tomorrow, Friday

Speaking to local media, Judge Scott McAfee confirmed the decision to disqualify Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis will be released tomorrow.  SEE VIDEO:

District Attorney Fani Willis and Special Prosecutor Nathan Wade had a long-term romantic relationship.  They were caught lying about it in court testimony.

Additionally, according to White House visitor logs, Mr. Nathan Wade visited White House lawyers prior to indictment of President Trump, while DA Willis met with staff (Mary McCord) from the January 6 Committee prior to the indictment. The scope of the political lawfare is in bright sunlight now.

The Georgia prosecutor, meeting with Biden lawyers prior to the indictment against Biden’s political opposition, is a big issue that has yet to surface in front of Judge McAfee.  The legal ramifications of DA Fani Willis being discharged from the case for conflicts of interest and lying to the court are still unknown.

Speaker Mike Johnson Vows to Pass Future Ukraine Spending With Democrat Votes to Support

This should not come as a surprise.

Facing an ever-diminishing number of Republican representatives willing to support Joe Biden’s demand for massive and unending spending for Ukraine, Speaker of the House Mike Johnson now tells DC media he will pass the spending with Democrat votes.

Retention and continuation of spending for Ukraine is the ultimate example of a UniParty Congress.  The powers that control the mechanics of spending taxpayer money simply don’t care how much opposition exists amid the taxpayers.  They will fund Ukraine, and public opinion means naught.

Emphasis mine, because there’s an ancillary story.

WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS, West Virginia — Speaker Mike Johnson told POLITICO that he expects to pass a future Ukraine assistance bill with Democratic votes, an acknowledgment of the persistent resistance to any new aid within the GOP.

Johnson said in a Thursday interview at the House Republican retreat that aid to both Ukraine and Israel could come up as one or even two separate bills. He said he anticipates it would happen using the House’s suspension calendar, which he’s used often in recent days to overcome pushback from his own party. (read more)

This type of outlook and UniParty ideology is what leads to this next dose of sunlight.  President Trump refused to attend the Sulphur Springs retreat and talk to the Republicans gathered there.

Judge Cannon Denies, for Now, the Trump Motion to Dismiss Classified Documents Case

Earlier today in Florida, U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon carefully listened to lengthy oral arguments about the initial charges brought against President Donald Trump in the classified documents case.

While listening to a debate on terminology and odd interpretation of application to the statute of the Espionage Act, a case study in Lawfare as presented, Judge Cannon decided in a later ruling to defer the nuances of legislative interpretation until later in the trial pleadings.  Her 2-page Ruling is here.

While many voices say this initial motion to dismiss failed, there are several indications the ruling was more about targeting the issue of statutory definitions to latter phases in the pretrial legal process.  Essentially, allowing the DOJ to try and square the circles that are seemingly unsquarable.

Cannon is avoiding the trap of removal from the case by carefully and meticulously following a very routing process to allow the full sunlight of judicial consideration to apply at the moment when the interpretation has the greatest importance.  Despite ruling against dismissal, this is not a loss for the Trump legal team, as the issues behind the dismissal motion have not been rectified.  These issues will surface again at more critical moments.

If the Lawfare case is going to be dismissed in whole, as opposed to part by part, Julie Kelly was present in the court and also noticed that Judge Cannon appears to be positioning herself to dismiss the case on “selective prosecution” grounds. See this Great Thread HERE.

President Trump Talks About Personnel Changes for Term 2 and General Election Nuance

President Donald Trump provided a lengthy interview to Newsmax host Greg Kelly.  The interview is in two segments as below and gives some keen insight into the current outlook and perspective of President Trump.

I am presenting the interview segments in reverse; in part because the second half of the second segment hits upon an aspect that is discussed often amid supporters of President Trump and the MAGA movement he represents.  Beginning at 02:37, President Trump discusses the personnel challenges of T1 and how he looks to overcome those challenges in T2. WATCH:

The second segment is below, which was actually the first segment as broadcast.

With Resounding Wins in Georgia and Mississippi, President Trump is the Official Republican Nominee

The AP delayed their reporting of the delegate count, but with bigly wins in Georgia and Mississippi, President Trump has officially garnered enough delegates to be the presidential nominee for the Republican party.

[AP Delegate Count Link]

None of the contests were even close, which further highlights just how ridiculous it was for the professional financial apparatus to spend so much money trying to boost an alternative candidate against the overwhelming intent of the Republican base.

Congratulations to the movement that Trump represents on behalf of all commonsense pragmatic Americans.  Giddy up, the fight against the communists is officially designated.

Buck Passes – Representative Ken Buck Announces He Quits, Effective Next Week

Assuming that Ken Buck did not get tapped on the shoulder by the USIC for zipper problems, a rather substantial assumption all things considered, perhaps the Colorado representative just wanted to give his UniParty allies a pre-election day assist at flipping the House.

[Source Link]

Fox News – Colorado U.S. Representative Ken Buck announced on Tuesday that he we will resign from the House by the end of next week.

[…] Buck has served in the U.S. House of Representatives since November 2014 and is currently assigned to the House Judiciary Committee and Foreign Affairs Committee.

Special Counsel Robert Hur Testifies Elements of Biden and Trump Classified Documents Cases are Identical, But Biden Mental Acuity Made “Intent” Element Difficult

Regarding the handling of ‘classified documents’ Special Counsel Robert Hur testified today that President Trump and Vice-President Biden had identical outcomes.  However, whereas Donald Trump is cognitively normal, Joe Biden is suffering from a diminished mental state, frequent confusion and absent remembering.  Therefore, the elements needed for “intent” in the criminal statute did not apply to Biden.

Donald Trump is fine; Joe Biden has lost his marbles.  According to prosecutor Robert Hur, that explains why there are two tiers of justice amid an identical set of infractions.  As a consequence, the American people are expected to be okay with the reasoning for a DOJ double-standard.  WATCH:

.

The full hearing video is below, but the essential element is just repeated.   (1) Biden lied or could not remember on purpose; and (2) there are two tiers of justice, and the DOJ is prepared to defend their non-prosecution decision based entirely on cognitive “intent.”

HR7521 – The TikTok Ban Law (as written) is NOT About Banning TikTok, It’s About Information Control – pdf Included

I swear by all that I know to be righteous and accurate, the combined willpower of the UniParty in Washington DC is not targeting TikTok from the perspective of concern over data collection.  Instead, the DC system -which is to say the USIC- is using the auspices of TikTok to expand the reach of government censorship and control information.

This is a domestic information space battle, using the guise of TikTok as a baseline for justification.  How do we know? You only need to look at the mechanism of the law as it is written, the compliance section, and the definitions they are using to see they are not targeting data collection.  [pdf of HR7521 HERE]

If TikTok data collection was the issue, the law would be structured to ban foreign data collection.  That’s not what this is.  This is a law written to give the Executive Branch the power to define any platform as “foreign owned” by the service provider (even if domestic) and the substance of the content contained and/or distributed.  This has to be stopped.

[Source pdf, Page 8 – HR7521]

Read the law as written through the prism of “Information Control,” not the prism of data collection.  The law is designed to control information, not data collection.

As readers are well aware, the USIC is in alignment (I would say control) with almost all U.S-based social media platforms.  This is why/how DHS is operating in synergy with those same systems.  This is also the motive behind the mis-dis-mal-information definitions.  Ultimately, if you stand back and look at what is being done, you see the concern of the U.S. government is not data collection, its information control.

The TikTok ban, authorized by a duplicious Legislative branch, is expanding the ability of the Executive branch to control information.  Just as The Patriot Act was not about targeting terrorism, but really about domestic surveillance; so too is the TikTok ban not about foreign data collection, it’s about information control.

Again, read the law as written and you can clearly see this is a law created to authorize the agencies of the government to control information.  Silence is the same as consent in the face of oppression.  Do not be silent.

They Call it a “Bloodbath at the RNC” as Team Trump Begin Cutting 60 Staff Jobs and Canceling Vendor Contracts

Alright, alright, alright. All the right people are pearl clutching as the new MAGA RNC leadership starts eliminating positions, reprioritizing the Republican National Committee on the functions that matter, and canceling professionally republican vendor contracts.

Essentially, the business end of the professionally republican RNC is being taken apart and retooled as a more election centric operation.

WASHINGTON – Donald Trump’s newly installed leadership team at the Republican National Committee on Monday began the process of pushing out dozens of officials, according to two people close to the Trump campaign and the RNC.

All told, the expectation is that more than 60 RNC staffers who work across the political, communications and data departments will be let go. Those being asked to resign include five members of the senior staff, though the names were not made public. Additionally, some vendor contracts are expected to be cut.
