SUMMARY for those who might appreciate:

The government (DOJ/FBI) does not need any authorization from congress to conduct surveillance on foreign nationals.

There is nothing needed to spy on, intercept, surveil, or track the activity of a foreign national.  The foreign person does not have any constitutional protection at all.

However, if an American is the target of secret surveillance, tracking, spying, etc., the DOJ/FBI need some method of authorization to violate the fourth amendment protection within the constitution. That’s where FISA (702) comes into the picture.

FISA (702) only pertains to an American in the surveillance process.

FISA (702) is the presumed legal method, never tested in court, that permits the DOJ and FBI to violate the 4th amendment protection of the American person. 

FISA (702) only pertains to a legislative construct that permits this secret surveillance of the American person.

The Title-1 surveillance warrant that sometimes comes with the 702-authorized review or investigation; is all encompassing and authorizes the government to secretly look at the private records of the targeted American.

If FISA (702) did not exist, all of the electronic record keeping, the stored metadata of Americans, would be worthless. 

FISA (702) is the key that allows the government to unlock the data (private records) and review it.  Without the key, you cannot open the door – as a consequence, the U.S. government doesn’t need the vault.

FISA (702) has never been tested in court by any targeted person, in part because the evidence against the accused person only exists for prosecutorial use if the person is factually guilty of the suspected allegation.  This is the catch-22 that has permitted the 702 violations to continue without challenge.

It doesn’t matter how many times our politicians try to position the argument, there is nothing that stops the DOJ/FBI from looking at the activity of foreign actors.  However, there are constitutional protections that stop the DOJ/FBI from looking at the activity of Americans.  FISA (702) is designed specifically to work around those constitutional protections.

⁣
As one of the few senior officers still active on X, I’ve been attacked, downgraded, and hit with whisper campaigns meant to soften what I’ve seen and said from the front seat of command.⁣
⁣
I do it because I care. Deeply. Because I’m committed to authenticity and relentless about truth. Not for clicks or applause, but for one purpose: to build the lethality and warfighting edge our Army will need if the balloon goes up. And more importantly, to strengthen deterrence—so we never have to fight. ⁣
⁣
Peace comes through real, credible strength. Not dog-and-pony shows.⁣
⁣
I’ve been “informed” my authenticity upsets people. Damn right it does. That’s the job. Our profession demands abrasiveness when softness gets Soldiers killed.⁣

I’ve written the professional articles, recorded the podcasts, spoken at the symposiums. Observations from 55 NTC rotations, Blackhorse command, and hard lessons from the modern battlefield. They get filed away like every other rotational AAR—only for us to repeat the same mistakes and ignore the same gaps.⁣

⁣
That’s why I stay in the fight here.⁣
Our Army deserves leaders who prioritize winning over comfort. I’m all in on that mission.⁣

@SophiaNarwitz True enough.

[TheLastRefuge @TheLastRefuge2]

Let me give this a shot.

First, @USAttyEssayli I do not believe you. Or anyone else in California politics, law or justice. Because you all know exactly how California voter fraud is done.

This is a silly game of pretending. You are pretending not to know. I'll explain it again.

All of you know:

Former Attorney General Eric Holder was hired by California govt to advise on the election changes created by linking DMV database to Secretary of State database.

The tech team that wrote the code to link the DMV and SOS were given specific instructions. The affirmative flag, the checkbox in the DMV system that says the applicant is legally eligible to vote, was neutralized.

Meaning, if the checkbox is left blank, the computer system accepts the application from the DMV as affirmative. The DL applicant data is transferred to the SoS office, and the applicant is registered to vote.

Illegal Aliens, unlawful migrants, were allowed to get California Driver's Licenses and State IDs. The Motor-Voter process now registers those drivers and ID recipients as legal voters and ballots are created.

Those illegal ballots form the core of the voter fraud in California and were first used in the November 2018 midterm election as the beta test for national rollout.

Not a single person in Sacramento politics doesn't know this. All of you are aware. All you have to do is go check and you will see.

The fraud is impossible to prosecute. The fraud is built into the system. Go look. Everyone knows.

Again. I don't believe you.

@nerd_cookies Because of the switch I’ll be an automatic opposition. They would have to win me back.

@nerd_cookies Felt like there was excitement for this. Waste.

Really awesome how the ai image is gaining far more traction than the real thing.

I argue it’s disrespectful to the memory of Mr. Nowak & his unjust death.

He’s not seen as a person anymore, just a tool, a tool people still relied on ai to wield as if the real images of his death weren’t already endlessly tragic enough.

Garbage era.

Long post incoming:

I can’t stand BookTok slop, and romantasy is absolutely not for me, the shit sucks, but it’s not what ruined literature. It’s the perception that it ruined literature that is ruining literature. Good books still get published en masse, just people who complain about BookTok online often aren’t seeking them out and purchasing them, and in a capitalistic society, the books that sell the best are what are going to be featured everywhere. And right now, booktok slop is driving sales, big time! So if men (and women) who rightfully hate BookTok want to fix the industry, you have to have to have to buy more books that aren’t the things you hate. Sure, they may be harder to find, and sure, they may be in the back of the store, but they exist, and if they get bought, they’ll become more popular and eventually earn better real estate, take Between Two Fires for example. It was obscure, but now it’s in front of major chain stores and found at nearly every other bookstore. That is capitalism in motion. Make use of it!

Complaining online wont fix the problem, your money will!!!!!!

@BlackDumpling Actually had a subscription to OMNI. Since you did consume those magazines, I agree.

@SophiaNarwitz I’m not creative enough for a slur but it’s going to be interesting watching those apps crater with this decision.
