A federal judge provided proof that the Federal Bureau of Investigation under Joe Biden spied on hundreds of thousands of Americans. This is an exceedingly egregious violation of the Fourth Amendment. Sadly this is far from an isolated incident, It seems like similar instances have occurred on almost of monthly basis.
No occupant of the White House has proved to be more hostile to the fundamental rights and freedoms of the American people.
The Federal Bureau of Investigation is under fire yet again this week after a federal judge revealed the government agency illegally spied on hundreds-of-thousands of Americans without a warrant between 2020 and 2021.
The revelation came just one day after three FBI agents testified before the House Judiciary Committee and Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government as whistleblowers concerned about the mass surveillance of Americans without proper cause or a warrant. The agents had their security clearances revoked and faced retaliation after bringing the issue to superiors.
This mass spying by the FBI was conducted under the FISA Court process. I have been a very harsh critic of the entire FISA process because It is deeply unconstitutional and ripe for abuse. I never believed the FISA Court would restrict its spying to foreign targets. I have been proved right repeatedly.
The FBI supposedly did implement FISA reforms to prevent abuse. These reforms did absolutely nothing
On Monday the FBI claimed FISA reforms had been implemented to prevent political targeting or abuse of the FISA process. The FBI released a statement after Special Counsel John Durham published a lengthy report showing extensive misconduct at the Bureau during the 2016 presidential election, including rampant FISA abuse and tampering of warrant applications issued against Trump campaign officials.
The FISA Court system violates four provisions ot the Fourth Amendment.
The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.
FISA warrants are issues en mass instead of on specific individuals that are named. No probable cause is given. No oath if affirmation is given. The place being searched on not listed.
Michael: You have to answer for Santino, Carlo. You fingered Sonny for the Barzini people.
Carlo Rizzi:Mike, you got it all wrong.
Michael:Ah, that little farce you played with my sister. You think that would fool a Corleone? Carlo Rizzi: Mike, I’m innocent. I swear on the kids.
Michael:Sit down.
Carlo Rizzi:Please don’t do this to me, Mike. Please don’t.
Michael:Barzini is dead. So is Phillip Tattaglia. Moe Greene. Stracci. Cuneo. Today I settled all family business so don’t tell me that you’re innocent. Admit what you did. Get him a drink. Don’t be afraid, Carlo. Come on, you think I’d make my sister a widow? I’m Godfather to your son. [Carlo gets handed a drink] Go ahead. Drink. Drink. No, you’re out of the family business, that’s your punishment. You’re finished. I’m putting you on a plane to Vegas. Tom? [takes plane ticket] I want you to stay there, you understand? Only don’t tell me that you’re innocent. Because it insults my intelligence
The Godfather 1972
That scene above is the first thought that came to my mind when I read Andrew Sullivan’s piece about Transgenderism going to far and hurting the gay movement. His attempt to pretend that his campaigning to redefine the thousands of year old definition of marriage for his own edification and self justification did not lead to the consequences that all of us were warning about twenty years ago insults me.
At best it’s delusional and at worst it’s self serving, all about distancing himself from the destruction this has does to society in just a single generation.
Did he REALLY think that have no consequences, Did he really think that “marriage” would be the only word redefined by his leftist allies? To wit:
The Human Rights Campaign, once a relatively moderate group,replaced “gay” and “lesbian” with the acronym “LGBTQ+” and expanded the word “queer” to describe anyone gay, lesbian, transgender, or even straight who defied heteronormativity. They changed the flag from a simple rainbow, to one that included some races (only black and brown — no Asians or whites) and transgender ideology. Their building in DC is festooned with a massive banner declaring their mission: “Black Lives Matter, Black Trans Lives Matter.” Their new head is a woman who calls herself “queer,” not lesbian.
Then they quietly changed the meaning of the word “gay” so that it no longer referred to same-sex attraction, but to same-gender attraction; and changed the word “men” to include people with vaginas and uteruses, and the word “women” to include people with dicks and balls. Checkmate for the gays! We are all now just bigots with “genital preferences,” just like the Christianist right used to claim. Just to add to the confusion, hundreds of new “genders” were adopted — because some teens on Tumblr once invented them and queer theorists loved them.
Notice again the use of the made up word “Christianist” as if the idea of following Christ and the teaching of the church that have been constant on this stuff for 2000 years is some sort of ideology.
It gets even funnier as he’s shocked, SHOCKED that fantasy ideal world he thought he would make for himself by redefining marriage would leave him and those like him unaffected.
Gay hook-up apps now include biological women seeking gay men and straight men looking for chicks with dicks. “NO MEN” some profiles now say — on what was once a gay man’s app. There are fewer and fewerexclusively gay male spaces left. Lesbian bars? Almost gone entirely. Lesbians themselves? On their way out. Dylan Mulvaney is exemplary of the new queer order: a femme gay man who had to take female hormones to stay relevant. (Compare and contrast with disco icon Sylvester’s view of gay liberation: “I could be the queen that I really was without having a sex change or being on hormones.” We are going backward, not forward.)
Of course we saw the slippery slope and endured the cry of “bigot” to give that warning that what is now happening would happen and worse, but we were to be ignored at best and attacked as worst . And then comes the biggest lie of all:
Then the queers upped the ante and did something we gays never did: they targeted children.
Really? Tell that to the kids who were not adopted because being Christian and not following your line disqualified faithful Catholics from adoption. We went from: “We just want the right like hospital visits and inheritance” to “Heather has two mommies” in the school libraries. We saw this pushed in the faces of families, kids, schools and entertainment everywhere, except of course in places where Islam has a foothold because as radical as the gay left is and has always been, they’re not suicidal.
He closes his penultimate paragraph with yet another Faucian spin
But I can’t in good conscience stay silent when I spent a lifetime attempting to defend the simple existence of the normie gay from the bigots on the far right and the fanatics on the far left.
Bullshit! You weren’t interested in defending the “existence” of anybody, it was all about redefining norms to your liking. It’s no different from those four hundred years ago who redefined “marriage” because they didn’t like the idea of different races mixing. It’s no different than Fauci redefining “vaccine” for the sake of covering it’s failure to protect people. It’s the same as Democrats ( ironically those who he allied with to push his agenda) who where all about lockdowns and closed schools and masks suddenly insisting they never had supported any of those things now that the consequences of their actions are ravaging society
And now Sullivan in this piece is trying to pull the ultimate Fauci. He had nothing to do with any of this and must now, that the true horror of kids being spayed for fun and profit is not happening quietly where the general public is unaware of it, make a statement?
I may not be a Corleone but I am a Sicilian, and it insults my intelligence that he might think I’d fall for this. Like Burt Lancaster’s Ernst Janning he is trying to convince us that he never thought it would come to kids being nurtured by the thousands for profit, or or the redefinition of “Boy” and “Girl”.
It came to that the first time a Christian was rejected by an adoption agency for being faithful to Christ.
