1) **ahem** Also, every argument for retention of 702 is a false premise. Americans either have a 4th Amendment, or we do not. It really is that simple.

Want to conduct electronic surveillance on an American; want to read their "private papers," GET A WARRANT!

This is my hill! 2) Why is this my hill?

Because every downstream action for the surveillance state is predicated on the legal arguments behind FISA 702.

Real ID, facial recognition surveillance, metadata collection, AI enhanced trace and tracking, etc, all of it is contingent upon the arguments within the FISA 702 issue as it relates to the 4th amendment.

If FISA 702 is not a violation of the 4th amendment protection against unlawful search and seizure, then all domestic downstream DHS surveillance, collection and exploitation is similarly not a violation.

If FISA 702 is determined to be a violation of privacy, a violation of the 4th amendment to be secure in your papers and effects (which it is), then all approaches to conduct domestic electronic surveillance through the network of DHS data assembly is also a violation of privacy.

This is a privacy argument that has not reached SCOTUS. It is still being fought with success at state level.

If you are being monitored without a warrant, you have no privacy. The core argument behind 702 authorizes warrantless monitoring.

Billions of dollars of German auto manufacturing (assembly) investment in Mexico were just vaporized by President Trump. This is a very big kick in the teeth to Germany.  Previously in a long-term strategy to avoid U.S. tariffs, German automakers invested billions in auto assembly plants in Mexico.  Ex. the BMW parts were shipped from Germany and the cars assembled in Mexico.  Now that investment is worthless as the vehicle will be taxed at a rate of 25% regardless of whether it is assembled in Germany or Mexico.

1) Emissary Steve Witkoff’s positive perspectives on Qatar were/are actually shocking to me. Remember, CTH is banned from view in Qatar, and even the U.S. military there cannot access CTH in that duty station.

Qatar is NOT a good actor in the Mideast conflict. On this material supposition and presentation, I comprehensively disagree with Witkoff and would love to debate this matter with him.

I can only conclude there is some financial relationship between Witkoff and the Qataris that lies behind his views.

Qatar provided safe haven for the 5 key Muslim Brotherhood agitators who were exiled from Egypt, and Qatar was factually the GCC nation that had to be confronted for their support of Islamic extremism by Egypt, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia and UAE.

Why Witkoff puts such a positive spin on Qatar, and why Tucker Carlson seemingly affirms and goes along with it is quite odd, given the nature of the discussion.

Qatar funds Al Jazeera, the major propaganda wing of the Islamic extremist coalition supported by the Muslim Brotherhood.

Qatar funds the Brookings Institute, which also then funds the operational efforts of all the Lawfare and CIA agencies.

Qatar is factually in a very deep relationship with the CIA. VERY DEEP.

Qatar was also the mechanism used by Clinton/Panetta to send Surface to Air missiles into Libya, which ultimately resulted in the death of Ambassador Chris Stephens during a covert operation to retrieve them.

All of these known facts, put great pause on the review of Steve Witkoff, who -amid other issues- appears to be doing an exceptional job on the Ukraine-Russia conflict. We should watch this carefully with eyes wide open.

“Witkoff bought the hotel in 2013 for $654 million with a plan to convert the bulk of the building’s 600 or so rooms into high-end condos. But by 2016 he and his partners — Harry Macklowe, Howard Lorber’s New Valley and Highgate Holdings — had decided the Billionaires’ Row market had become oversaturated.

They put the conversion on hold.

A few months later, Chinese developer Greenland Group bought a 41 percent stake in the project from Kuwait Strategic Investors. The project seemed to be back on track.

But shortly after the deal closed, the Justice Department filed a lawsuit looking to seize the hotel as part of its investigation into the Malaysian businessman Jho Low, who was accused of stealing $4 billion from a development fund in his home country.

"Witkoff put the property up for sale in 2017.” “Qataris shell out $623M for storied Park Lane Hotel –
Witkoff-led group bought property decade ago eyeing condo conversion” [Aug 28, 2023]

“The building’s status was in limbo for almost six years due to the owners’ unsuccessful $1bn auction attempt in 2017.”

“Financier Jho Low, also known as Low Taek Jho, was a member of the group that owned the hotel.

In 2022, Low was convicted in the US of corruption charges related to embezzling billions of dollars from the Malaysian investment fund.

The US Justice Department had at first wanted to confiscate the hotel as part of its probe against Low.

But the department later reached a deal with the owners, led by developer Steven Witkoff, for the divestment of the property instead. It holds Low’s portion of the proceeds in escrow.

The building’s status was in limbo for almost six years due to the owners’ unsuccessful $1bn auction attempt in 2017.

According to a Bloomberg report, real estate and management company Witkoff Group and the Qatar Investment Authority have not responded to requests for comment regarding the sale, which was first reported by PinusCo.”

1) While repeating his claim that Canada can easily replace their trade relationship with the USA by seeking larger trade relationship with other countries, specifically the EU, current interim Prime Minister Mark Carney repeats that no contact will be attempted or accepted by the Canadian government until President Donald Trump shows him respect.

This doesn't portend favorably for U.S-Canada relations; which, to be fair, they would argue have been destroyed by President Donald Trump questioning their sovereignty. 

However, here's the kicker, what Canadians don't seem to realize is that questioning their sovereignty is simply a strategy by President Trump to eliminate the one-sided trade relationship with Canada.

It is funny to me that Canada just can't figure this out. 2) As long as Canada refuses to engage with President Trump due to a perceived lack of respect, President Donald Trump will continue to enhance his disrespect of Canada, because the absence of engagement assists his 'total trade reset' objective. 

President Trump wants to show, perhaps prove to the Canadian people, how dependent they are on their USA relationship; vis-a-vis they are already not a sovereign, economically independent nation.

She, who has done more damage than any other single operative within the system, remains conspicuously absent.....

The concentric circles around President Trump protecting her? 🤔

https://twitter.com/SteveGuest/status/1903262058105188551

She's active..... All indications are she's active.

1.) Notice how the FBI reviewed the President's cell phone data, during their process to request search warrants to review the President's cell phone data. This is ex post facto and against the law.

https://twitter.com/MZHemingway/status/1900652146137116833

2.) This brings us back to the central point I have been making for years.

The modern FBI is the police agency of a weaponized U.S government, with a direct and purposeful mandate to keep the American people under control through strict surveillance and a violent police state.

This parseltongue cracks me up. However, it actually ends up playing well for President Trump.

Notice how the media and global IC will only use the word "intelligence" when saying the U.S. is cutting off Ukraine from "intelligence sharing."

You know what that "intelligence sharing" consists of? That's the targeting system being used in Ukraine.

You know why the media and global IC cannot say "targeting system"? .... Because if they did, they would be admitting the USA has been the military force shooting the drones and missiles against Russia.

Parseltongue is needed. lol

Trump turned off the targeting system. 2. Read this report from Sky News carefully:

news.sky.com/story/trump-ze…

1) If you are concerned about "privacy" in government, consider this....

Office of Inspector General Michael Horowitz testified April 27, 2023, that more than 3.4 million search queries into the NSA database took place between Dec. 1st, 2020 and Nov. 30th, 2021, by government officials and/or contractors working on behalf of the federal government. 2) Approximately 30% of those 3.4 million search queries were outside the rules and regulations that govern warrantless searches, what the politically correct government calls “non-compliant searches.”  That means more than 1 million searches of private documents and communication of Americans were illegal and outside the rules.

1. Do you really want to see the JFK, RFK and MLK assassination files?

Here's the direct way to get them using the plenary power of the Executive in combination with the Unitary application of govt recently affirmed by SCOTUS.

WARNING: This is extremely NON-Traditional. 2. Understanding the ordinary process of declassifying documents is a request and authorization to the executive officers and stakeholders of classified information; and understanding the current authorization is not ordinary because the intelligence community stakeholders are averse to the interests of the office of the president; here is a process to cut through the chaff and countermeasures.

The background here is that any unilateral declassification request, demand or authorization by President Trump puts him opposition to a variety of corrupt interests.

As a direct result the executive office of the president will be facing legal action, likely from unified democrats and republicans in the legislative branch.  With that accepted, here is the most strategic approach.

1) I am told that apparently there is a strategy afoot. lol

https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1872464643266089067

2) Just to be clear. I genuinely don't care, what the crew do.

What I find a little funny is how my account survived several of the pre-Musk "big purges" and the whole COVID ban hammer, but now that "free speech" Elon is in control I'm tenuously at risk.

In research projects about detailed granular events attached to corruption in Washington DC, eventually you reach a point where you have identified the specific people involved. Things get sketchy.

When doing these research projects, you discover that certain DC "insiders," media people and current/former silo staff, names most of you know very well, are also aware of the information you are discovering.

The "insiders" are generally positioned in such a manner as most of the information-aware public consider them "Truth Tellers."

Alternative media gives the Truth Tellers a larger influence voice. This is where it gets interesting.

When you have nailed down the story with direct, irrefutable evidence against the bad actors, you start to notice a pattern emerge about how the Truth Teller media types consistently stay away from certain names.

If you do this long enough, and find the same outcome frequently enough, you realize most of these "Truth Tellers" are not that at all; they are, instead, Truth Managers.

The DC Truth Managers are willfully blind to the activity of certain people they have identified as what can only be reasonably assumed to be CIA operators.

There are bad actors in DC that I can believe are "CIA operators." Why? Because earnestly after years of doing this, I cannot think of any other reason why they would be protected.

Be careful about assigning the label "Truth Teller" toward any alternative media DC insider who is a "reformed journalist" or "former staff member" of the machine.

There are well known voices from inside the system, that exit the corporate media world, and enter the alternative media world, only to carry on the same purpose.

I see the information managers frequently now and identify them easily by who they *do not* talk about.

When a current or former information manager comes across a story of corruption that involves a "CIA designated bad actor," they never discuss that person in their information reveal. They continue the protection.

A good rule of thumb is never to think of anyone from inside the DC information system, regardless of their disposition, as a Truth Teller.

Every Information Manager was matriculated, and are compromised, by the system around them that is entirely based on corrupt activity.

Hang around a one-legged tribe long enough, and inherently you begin limping. 2/ Let me give you a great example using this video shared yesterday.

Listen carefully to what Kash Patel says at the 01:23 moment about the "Russiagate report" that was written, and how the "ICA" (Intelligence Community Assessment) was constructed with fraudulent information from the CIA.

As Patel notes, "Gina buried it." That's Gina Haspel, the Trump CIA Director who replaced Mike Pompeo.

Now, you might think that Patel is a Truth Teller in this segment but stand back and think about it with fresh eyes, non-pretending eyes.

Patel knows, because he (with others) created a report that highlights a fraudulent CIA operation. A report that was absorbed by the CIA and buried.

Put another way, Patel is talking about a body that he knows is buried. Ergo, people might say, "Patel knows where the body is buried," right?

But ask yourself, with the known stakes to the nation as an outcome of horrific fraud, why didn't this self-identified "#2 in the Intelligence Community" bring this information forward regardless of outcome?

Is Patel a "Truth Teller," or is he a "Truth Manager," obeying the Silo rules out of self-interest?

New Eyes - Use them.

What is the difference between Kash Patel and Edward Snowden?

One is a Truth Teller the other is a Truth Manager.

Do you guys even understand how amazing this Kash appointment is?!

Good Sign - President Trump Announces No Position for Nikki Haley or Mike Pompeo in New Administration theconservativetreehouse.com/blog/2024/11/0… 2. ♦ Nikki Haley directly blamed President Trump for the violent events during January 6, 2021, and said, “I don’t think [Trump’s] going to be in the picture,” she said, matter-of-factly. “I don’t think he can. He’s fallen so far.” […] “We need to acknowledge he let us down,” she said. “He went down a path he shouldn’t have, and we shouldn’t have followed him, and we shouldn’t have listened to him. And we can’t let that ever happen again.”

With Mail-in Ballots Assisting, Moldova Votes for Pro-War Alignment With EU/NATO - Conflict is Now Imminent theconservativetreehouse.com/blog/2024/11/0… 2. For more than two years we have been saying to keep an eye on Moldova in the background.  Yesterday Moldova held their national election, and while the actual number of people living in Moldova voted for the anti-war position, once the overseas ballots were added the results changed.  The nationalists became the minority and the pro-war/pro-EU globalists declared victory.

Someone once said, "watch Moldova."

The last, desperate effort of USAID either creates the backdrop for expanded NATO war with Russia, or the effort dies there. The relevance of A Blinken and S Power is on the Moldovan line.

2. USAID/CIA and Dept of State recently failed in Georgia. [The country, not state]

The majority of the people in Georgia do not support the continual bloodshed in Ukraine, they are pragmatic with their views toward Russia, and they don’t want the USA and Brussels determining their politics for them.  Georgia Dream is like a Georgia-First party.   They had an election last weekend and retained control over parliament.

1. The Aftermath

When it comes to the ‘after part’, well, as a long-time CERT recovery member perhaps I can guide you through the expectation and you might find some value. Consider this little word salad a buffet, absorb what might be of value pass over anything else. 2. Hurricanes can be frightening; downright scary.  There’s nothing quite like going through a few to reset your outlook on just how Mother Nature can deliver a cleansing cycle to an entire geographic region.   The sounds are scary. Try to stay calm despite the nervousness.  Telephone and power poles, yes, even the concrete ones, can, and likely will, snap like toothpicks.  Trees will bend and break; the sounds are dramatic.

1. I have been asked to put my hurricane prep into a thread. This might be long. It's a buffet of prepper stuff that others have found to be valuable. Take what you find valuable, ignore what you don't. It's just information.

2. Due to this path, the area north of the impact eyewall will see winds offshore.  The area directly south of the impact eyewall will see winds directly onshore.   Preparations are always critical within the cone area; however, preparations for a west to east storm are even more critical.  A few miles and a little wobble can make all the difference in the storm surge.

It’s not just them. Really think about it, shift the paradigm, and OMG 😳 it all makes sense.

19 days for the FBI to arrive in Benghazi, Libya. This explains why…

1) The people who installed the current occupant of the White House; that's the people who control the "presidency" of Joe Biden; have this to say about their intent to block any effort seeking to stop the process they used. 2) The people in control of the presidency, are doing this, and other things, to ensure the continuation of what they call "rule of law" and "our democracy":

1. After Eric Holder left the Obama administration as Attorney General, he was hired by the State of California to defend against the Trump administration in early January 2017.

2. When Eric Holder left the Obama administration, his firm was contracted by California during a process of linking the motor vehicle registration files to the Secretary of State voter registration system. 

Holder was advising on part of a technology system being constructed to bridge the DMV and SoS offices.  You might know this as a “Motor/Voter” process.  However, former AG Eric Holder had a very specific function in the construction of this technology bridge.
