Info Wars and Today’s Triple Tyranny
Quick post on some very disturbing news items.
1) Under Obama a group of non-government persons and government moles started a group (CTI League) that worked with multinational corporations and spy agencies in the US/UK and military agencies in US/UK to control the spread of information. This spawned all kinds of little “disinformation police” groups and sought/seeks to control your thoughts and actions. Schellenberger has the details (it is a complex industry) and the House should have hearings soon.
2) Special prosecutor Jack Smith has requested the user records from Twitter of anyone who ever [edit: during the 2020 voting/post-election] liked a Tweet or mentioned President Donald Trump. That’s a lot of people and sounds like a fishing expedition.
3) The US Marshals have basically dedicated all their efforts to tracking everyone who flew to the DC area about the date of Jan. 6, 2021. Those people are on a special list (to be harassed by TSA on every flight) and are followed by Marshals when flying. Forget The Fugitive, patriots are now on the most wanted list.

If any of this is true, it’s terrifying.
Not surprising, but terrifying.
So, only people who’ve never used Twitter are safe.
I’m safe.
Section 702, which authorizes monitoring communications of pretty much everybody is due to sunset at the end of 2023.
There will be silence until the last minute, and then wailing and gnashing of teeth to have Congress re-authorize it. The law needs comprehensive reform, hence the silence until it’s too late to do anything but re-authorize it.
I emailed my Congressional critters about it, but seeing this abuse of power curbed would be a surprise.
Safe, unless you happen to be in the wrong city at the wrong time. Safe, unless you are affected by your neighbors/your employer/your family that are mind-controlled by the CTIL.

If we don’t see some high level elected and appointed officials removed from office by impeachment and prosecuted for illegal acts in the next six months, we will be confirmed in the belief that America is in a downward spiral from which recovery will be very difficult. Some people on juries, judges, prosecutors, legislators, and bureaucrats must act differently from what we have been seeing. We have an existent legal system that is being ignored successfully.
At the last minute 51 intelligence experts will sign a letter saying that the re-authorization is a matter of national security.
I expect news of a big terror event that was thwarted thanks to 702. Perhaps the headline will be “Thousands of Americans Saved by Crucial 702 Law!”
I wouldn’t expect anything like that under the current administration. So, more like 15 months. Just to get started.
Our nation is certainly in dark days. The only question is if we can survive.
Nah, survival is not the only question. The issue of what will survive and how is also interesting.
