-Great Cultural Revolution
National Security Advisor, Jake Sullivan, claims right to spy on any citizen without a warrent for any reason.
[TWITTER]


...He's rejecting a Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) amendment that mandates a warrant for spying on Americans. He said it is not in the interest of the American people not to be spied on without a court warrant. WATCH

#2  ^ Ref: #1 Mega-Ditto.

Blanket surveillance is not needed, nor legally Constitutional allowed.

Besides once they have a target all they have to do is go to their compromised pocket judges for a warrant which might take an added 10 mins to get a rubber stamped E-warrant.

It is clear what they actual main goal is to scanned the Global backbone for key words/phrases and/or known hostile origins to USA end points in real time. Just like Russia, China and other nations do to their citizens and other countries do to the US.

With that said.

There test cases where the Government is trying to get a toe hold, by claims Social Media is open general public info.

Plus the US Gov is already buying data from cookie tracking companies to use in their hunts.

Plus Keep in mind this also how some Law Enforcement Agencies catch Ped and human trafficking Rings.

#3  And the Supreme Court is OK with this notion?

#4  Jake’s argument confirms that they are surveilling us right now and have been since the Patriot Act. The Patriot Act has limits. They are ignoring the limits and just creating corroborating witnesses as needed for prosecutions. The J6 sweep confirms the levels to which they are willing to go in coordination with a corrupt judiciary.

Government Corruption
Illinois ‘super mayor' Tiffany Henyard accused of using cops to harass enemies, blowing thousands on lavish vacations and plastering face on posters across town
[NY Post] She's a real treasure, just ask her
The eccentric self-described "super mayor" of a Chicago suburb was compared to a South American dictator by disgruntled constituents, who complained about massive billboards bearing her face across town and the "militarization" of local police against her political enemies.

"Keeping my promises, Fighting for my residents," reads one sign alongside the face of Mayor Tiffany Henyard on a shuttered strip of downtown Dolton, Illinois.

"The people’s choice," reads another not 300 feet away bearing her bejeweled visage.

Across the street, another says, "Congratulations on making history Tiffany A. Henyard, Thornton Township Supervisor," showing the 40-year-old mayor smiling in a pink blazer.

"It’s Venezuela. Isn’t that what they are doing out there with [President Nicolás] Maduro? His face is all over, like ’I’m the dictator,'" a 66-year-old Dolton resident said of the Henyard posters.

"It’s like a dictator. There is no call for it," he added.

Henyard was first elected in 2021 to lead the small town of 20,000 people about 20 miles south of downtown Chicago.

She has come under scrutiny in recent weeks for a laundry list of antics, including accusations of blowing thousands in public funds on luxury travel and dining, turning local police into both her personal bodyguards and backup dancers for music videos, and hiring DJs for town meetings — all while the city falls $5 million into debt.

#2  Ah.. living in the greater area of Chicago I needed to look up Doltan on the maps... That's one of those "NO GO AREAS" for anybody not from the ghettos, Think DEEP SOUTH SIDE.
Posted by: 3dc || 02/15/2024 14:21 Comments || Top||

#3  I've worked and driven through the Chicago areas many, many times and I'm pretty sure that I have never been in Dolton (even by mistake). I've been close a few times, but not by choice.

As 3dc states, it's a 'No Go' Area for sure.

#4  Blowing thousands on luxury travel? She's not doing it right.
Posted by: Angstrom || 02/15/2024 17:47 Comments || Top||

#5  Elections have consequences. Electing female people of color seems to be a consistently un-serious choice if effective leadership and decision-making is what one was after.

#6  Given the White POS DA's Soros has supported, it's not ONLY a racialist thing. Think Obama and Bill Ayers. They all are corrupt
