The FBI and CIA are rabidly partisan, deeply corrupt organizations that are accountable to no one. If the republic is to survive, they must be shut down. This is all the more true in light of the coming Biden clampdown on dissent and the freedom of speech in general, as indicated by the establishment of the Disinformation Governance Board. But of course, the shutdown of these rogue agencies is about as likely in the near future as the shutdown of the sun.
“FBI Snooped On Americans’ Data At Record Pace Last Year,” by Greg Wilson, Daily Wire, April 29, 2022:
The FBI may have conducted millions of warrantless searches of Americans’ electronic data last year, U.S. intelligence officials acknowledged in a report released Friday.
The report from the Office of the Director of National Intelligence revealed that the bureau conducted up to 3.4 million searches of U.S. data drawn from the National Security Agency. Senior Biden administration officials told The Wall Street Journal the number is likely inflated due to the way individual queries are tabulated, but the number was still nearly triple that of the prior year.
“We’re committed to proactively informing the public, who entrusts us to protect our nation and our civil liberties, on the Intelligence Community’s use of key national security authorities,” said ODNI Chief of Civil Liberties, Privacy, and Transparency Ben Huebner.
The report is the first time a U.S. intelligence agency has published an accounting of how the FBI scoops up data through Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act. The FBI has been heavily criticized for abusing this process in the Trump-Russia collusion investigation and Section 702, which governs the bureau’s actions, is set to expire next year.
The NSA collects vast amounts of data from international phone calls and emails under the law, passed in the wake of 9/11, to safeguard national security. But the data is only analyzed if an intelligence agency culls it from the NSA database.
The 3.4 million figure “is certainly a large number,” a senior FBI official told reporters Friday, after the report was released. “I am not going to pretend that it isn’t.”…

The likelihood of it ending is pretty slim. And b gates is trying to dim the sun. Hope it burns his dirty fingers.

Essentially, the FBI is this century’s, and this country’s KGB. Christopher Wray is a major disappointment, and the next time a GOP president arrives, Wray should be removed. In fact, given how deep the rot is, the FBI should be disbanded and each state should form its own law investigative authority, and the 50+ of them should collectively share information on a distributed basis

FBI spied on Americans at a record pace in 2021
………….
In some cases this is warranted, such as with Jihadists calling for terrorism. But does it make sense that more Americans would be spied on now than previously? I can’t think of anything save the changes at these intelligence agencies, and the influence of the Biden administration.
Clifford Fodor says
One possible answer is that there are more jihadists in America thanks to Bidens night flights of illegal aliens into this country.

And it will also continue to lie to the people and silence truth-tellers. The following is something few know and care even less.
But it involves the WIKILEAKS of Julian Assange:
1. Under OBAMA the American government ( pushed by the Deep State, the Neocons and the Military-Industrial Complex )
allied itself with AL-QAIDA itself to effect Regime Change
in SYRIA ( overthrow Assad ) ( 2012 ).
2. Literally with Al-Qaida, which assumed a different name, and when it was shown it was Al-Qaida, they changed the name again.
3. They almost conquered Syria but in 2015 Russia came to help Assad. And little by little Al-Qaida was defeated. By 2018 victory was inevitable and
then the rebels claimed the Russian and Syrian army had killed people using CHEMICAL attacks in the town of DOUMA.
4. The Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW), the global chemical weapons watchdog, said it had “investigated”
and said it was true.
Relying on a video that showed alleged victims of the attack in a hospital gasping for air and foaming at the mouth, the Trump administration and its European allies launched missile strikes against Syria just one week later.
5. But in 2019:
A series of internal OPCW files published by WIKILEAKS,
and reporting by columnist PETER HITCHENS ( brother of Christopher Hitchens ) in the Daily Mail,
show that serious concerns have been raised by members of the OPCW Fact Finding Mission (FFM) to Douma
about EVIDENCE that was EXCLUDED from the FINAL REPORT in order to IMPLICATE Assad.
WikiLeaks also published the first draft of the interim FFM report, which noted that the investigators were “unable to provide satisfactory explanations for the relatively moderate damage to the cylinders allegedly dropped from an unknown height, compared to the destruction caused to the rebar-reinforced roofs.”
This fact–that the evidence did NOT point to the cylinders being dropped from Assad’s aircraft–was EXCLUDED from the final report.
Another email sent by a dissenting investigator to OPCW Director of Strategy and Policy Veronika Stromsíková raised concerns over the organization’s
false declaration that veteran OPCW inspector and ballistics expert Ian Henderson, who had produced an engineering assessment,
was not part of the FFM in Douma.
The claim came after his report casting doubt on the possibility of the cylinders being dropped from the air was leaked to the press.
Henderson had found, after inspecting the cylinders, that there was a “higher probability that both cylinders were manually placed… rather than being delivered from aircraft.”
The Deep State had created what is known as a FALSE FLAG.
6. One of the independent journalists who was in Syria then is EVA BARTLETT( Canada ) and she had said the same thing,
and she is classified by the MSM as a “conspiration theorist”. She is now in the Donbass and has videos about the lies of the MSM
concerning Russia,it is in youtube as “Eva K Bartlett ”
And now the Deep State, the neocons, the neoliberals, and the Military-Industrial complex want a war with CHINA.
Doomer says
Typo mistake,I meant “conspiracy theorist”
Pierre Delecto says
Joe Biden has pronounced advocacy for the rights of trans-seniors, as “an under-served community”.
FBI snooping is spiking.
Are we really sure John Edgar Hoover is dead, and not actually living in the basement of the HQ, cross dressing his way as far into his second century as Chinese pharmacology permits?
Walter Sieruk says
One part of that insidious and sinister Biden regime is it’s spying on Americans who aren’t politically correct .
A real, genuine US Presidential administration ,as that of President Trump, would by having its government Intelligence agencies spy in possible subversives and terrorists ,as jihadists and Communists.
Sadly with that Biden state power has US government agencies put forth its efforts time and energy spying on and inflecting harassment on peaceful concerned American citizens . As for example Conservative parents at school boards and other patriots ,as those of the pro-Trump rally at Washington DC on January 6th 2021.

Did a pregnant man REALLY need to be in that picture (which wouldn’t amuse me at all)? Or was that just a beer belly? No, too big…

I feel sorry for the person spying on me, they better have a good book to read.

Very funny!

The closing of officious and intrusive practices by big brother is unlikely and certain to get much worse, as it appears the ‘Nanny State’ is just getting into its stride. i have said ‘zookeeper’ state with regard to its dealing with factions as islam in the past, but the government’s role in protection of the citizens is neither; but strictly to uphold the laws in unbiased service. The government now is obviously moving to dismantle our rights to effect its power to stop ‘hate’.
From what appears in the FBI’s behavior regarding the Garland Texas treason by federal officials is that a proactive partisanship motivates the bureau.
