Look — Admittedly still having flashbacks with all the search & seizure fallout continuing to dominate the news after FBI’s warranted visit to Trump’s primary residence. Why? Given government’s own heavy-handed over the top search & seizure no notice early morning FBI raid of me when I was at home followed by glare of media covering the raid later that day…

Too many newly minted experts, armchair analysts, TV lawyers & journalists NOT getting strict liability use of Espionage Act in affidavit submission for judicially authorized probable cause search & seizure warrant by FBI at Trump’s MAG-A-LIEgo ‘storage’ facility of last resort. I know because I lived the reality on receiving end of a profoundly debilitating 10 count Espionage Act-based 18 USC 793e felony indictment, even though all docs were unclassified & also authorized & cleared by security for approved removal from NSA.

Some after thoughts on Trump’s classiLIED beach house CURIOsity shop with built on sand ‘SCIF’ chock full of scarfed SEKRITS, FBI search & seizure, Espionage Act, public interest & hypocrisy. 🧵 The Espionage Act statutes — especially 793 — originated with a draconian, WW I-era heavy handed law that was left over from the Wilson Admin…

Quite clear Trump took a BUNCH of docs & brought them to Mar-a-Lago.
Key question though — Why wasn’t possible/probable NDI, classified, super sensitive & secret SAP/SAR & even codeword material left behind & properly protected? Some of these categories of SAP/NDI code level information are super close hold with highly restricted distribution & even one off eyes only. May explain why NARA grew increasingly alarmed as they attempted to account for missing docs.

Admittedly having a lot of flashbacks from the 28 Nov 2007 FBI national security related warrant-based ‘raid’ at my residence & university office… …triggered by all the dominate news of late on the FBI search & seizure & removal of a trove of documents at Mar-a-Lago.

Some of us know what life is like when privacy totally stripped from you. The Internet of Things turning into a surveillance platform of massive proportions in the utter obsession of Gov&Corp to persistently invade everything about you w/out your consent—an auto opt-in Panopticon We’re entering a period in history I will call Privacide of Society—for gain & profit—& by actors who view anything about anybody as suspicious & primed for pre-crime—especially when they hold the power to systemically view & access the data streams of your life in hi-definition.

Just so it’s crystal clear for all to hear. I stand with #JulianAssange as he greatly suffers & suffocates in a UK prison with his very life in jeopardy from the predations of State power — while way too many still spout & shout out gov’t allegations against him as inviolate. 1/6 I know what it’s like to risk one’s life & liberty & experience pathological & vindictive vice grip of State power as I was framed, indicted by US under draconian Espionage Act & labeled as a self-radicalized Insider Threat, then sentenced & went free under a #CFAA plea deal. 2/6

PSA: My end-of-year, end-of-decade & end-of-two-decades holiday message... after staring into the proverbial Pandora’s Box & experiencing the abyss staring back at me....then dropping thru the deep event horizon of an altered life... The history of humankind is replete w/ inhumanity, abuse of power, senseless brutality, ego-fueled vice, personal vanity, disinfo & deception, cutthroat revenge, gross injustices, cons, crimes, collusion & seductive control over others...

Another Wake Up Call and Warning for America - A 50 Count Thread on the Deep Shades of Truth in the Age of Trump 1/50 Enough is enough. The State of the Union in the US is a staged shut (down) show of disunion, disunity & the defrauding of America w/ multiple power plays going on in public & behind the scenes - w/ real consequences.
