Tired of the toxicity of social media? Why not join Ricochet for just $5/month? Think of it as an online bar. Come in, have a drink, hang out, say whatever you want. But don’t badger, bully, or berate the other drinkers. That's our only rule.
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.

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.
