1) People should pay close attention to @ggreenwald. Agree with him or not on certain issues, he projects a sincere and principled wisdom of universal value. realclearpolitics.com/video/2021/01/…
2) "'A lot of times if you warn of a danger you have to piece things together in order to demonstrate that it's actually coming,' Greenwald said. 'In this case, you don't have to. They are explicitly saying precisely what they want to do.'"
3) "What struck me so much about that John Brennan video is it would be one thing if they were saying, 'Look, there is a band of people, 20 here, 50 over here who wear swastika armbands, who are still in the KKK. There's maybe 2,000.'"
4) "'That's not what they're saying,' [Greenwald] continued. 'They are saying the exact opposite. Every group he [@JohnBrennan] listed, even libertarians, essentially he's defining the insurgency as anyone who has an ideology other than neoliberalism."
5) "... what they are talking bout, explicitly, is using the tools they used to take ISIS off the internet, the tools that they use to destroy al Qaeda. They're talking about it as a second War on Terror."

The targets are fellow Americans who think differently.
6) "'One that is borne by name of being a domestic war on terror, designed to essentially criminalize any oppositional ideology to the ruling class,' Greenwald warned. 'There is literally nothing that could be more dangerous, and it's not fearmongering or alarmism to say it.'"
7) "There are bills pending by Adam Schiff as well that would simply take the existing War on Terror legislation always aimed at foreign governments and foreign actors, and simply amend it to say we can now do that within the United States," Greenwald said.
8) "Who is going to stand up in opposition to this?' Carlson asked. 'I don't see any of the corporate Republican caucus really even noticing. I see a lot of people who I thought were liberals not liberal at all but more authoritarian. So how do we prevent this from happening?'"
9) "There is a ruling class elite that it's extremely comfortable with the establishment wings of both parties... They love Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer as much as they love Mitch McConnell and Mitt Romney and Marco Rubio and Paul Ryan," Greenwald said.
10) "Those are the people who they fund equally because those of the people who serve their agenda."

The House leadership just announced that Rep. Barbara Lee will be in charge of the State Department budget.

Lee is a longtime collaborator with Kremlin political warfare operations. When she was a congressional staffer, she collaborated with the Cuban regime against the US.
.@RepBarbaraLee will chair the State, Foreign Operations, and Related Programs Subcommittee of the House Committee on Appropriations.

This is like putting a Cuban or Russian agent in charge of the US State Department budget.
Profile of Barbara Lee, 2001: Confidant to Black Panther leader Huey Newton, a longtime aide to pro-Kremlin Congressman Ron Dellums, a collaborator with Fidel Castro's regime & Soviet front groups.

1) @TulsiGabbard on anti-terror bill

"It’s so dangerous...this is an issue that all Democrats, Republicans, independents, Libertarians should be extremely concerned about, especially because we don’t have to guess about where this goes or how this ends.” nationalreview.com/news/tulsi-gab…
2) Tulsi Gabbard: "When you have people like former CIA Director John Brennan openly talking about how he’s spoken with or heard from appointees and nominees in the Biden administration who are already starting to look across our country ...."
3) ". . . for these types of movements similar to the insurgencies they’ve seen overseas, that in his words, he says make up this unholy alliance of religious extremists, racists, bigots, he lists a few others and at the end, even libertarians.” (From Tulsi Gabbard)

Keep an eye on @RepMcGovern, the Massachusetts congressman who's proposing a lot of draconian measures on the country right now. He was a big advocate for President Obama to pardon Soviet atomic bomb spy Ethel Rosenberg. rfc.org/sites/default/…
Ditto for @SenMarkey, who was a congressman at the time. Markey defended a convicted Soviet spy, yet accused his political opponents of colluding with Russia. rfc.org/sites/default/…
.@SenWarren spoke asked Obama to "exonerate" Soviet spy Ethel Rosenberg, too. rfc.org/sites/default/…

.@ProjectLincoln, co-founded by former Russian registered agent John Weaver, is working with the Biden administration on a political hunt of all officials who served in the Trump Administration.
These are the people, organized by a registered agent for Vladimir Putin, who are helping the Biden team that they helped elect. nypost.com/2020/07/21/lin… @ProjectLincoln
Here is the US Justice Department document which @ProjectLincoln co-founder John Weaver (@jwgop) signed as an agent of the Russian government in 2019. Weaver's specific Russian client is the unit that makes the nuclear warheads aimed at us. efile.fara.gov/docs/6677-Exhi…

An hour later, I'm feeling like a Republican candidate watching Smartmatic and Dominion do their thing.
The Misgendered Ones at Twitter must be taking a soy break. Their pace of spanking out my followers has slowed.

While it bans the current President of the United States forever, Twitter has kept open the English, Spanish, Farsi, Arabic, and Russian accounts of Iran's Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Khamenei. @khamenei_ir
If incitement to violence is Twitter's excuse for banning the American President, one would think that it would ban the chief of state of Iran, a State Department-designated state sponsor of terrorism. Iran has been on the list since 1984.

Twitter continues to push Kremlin propaganda by giving Vladimir Putin free and uncensored access. That's OK with @Jack and his prog allies. @KremlinRussia_E
