@HouseIntel@RepMikeTurner Stunt correlated to house vote on #FISA#Section702 to be held tomorr, Feb 15th ‘24
A bogeyman deus ex machina
Zero to do w actual or perceived threat.
Just as Bush 43 manipulated threat level colors when bill was intro’d
It’s well timed, sleight of hand, misdirection.
"Every member of Congress should learn and remember this: It isn’t about who the IC tells you is the Monster of the Week. That’s mainly to keep you distracted, and them well funded and unconstrained...
This is a playbook we’ve seen before. But it doesn’t work in the face of widespread evidence that Section 702 has been abused. Congress needs to restore the bedrock protections that a warrant provides.

Warrantless government access to Americans’ private communications flies in the face of the Fourth Amendment, invites the very abuses that we have seen, contravenes our nation’s values—and does not keep us safe. 17/18
@windhorst_peter@Lancegooden True story.
I was trying to underline, not undermine your suggestion to contact Fed legislators. Both Senators + House rep.
Were u to solicit ur reps for an international treaty, if passed, would be bulletproof against judicial or new/changing executive machinery
@surf_witch@TexasTribune White Settlement City [yup, that’s the name] does have an elevation of 666’
Do you think this could’ve been a false flag/psyop?
Super bummer abt the part where, seemingly everyone was strapped, but only three ded (all were carrying a gun.)
Missed opportunities.
@windhorst_peter@Lancegooden Fair point.
Might I add: international treaties are the most supreme law in the US.
More than SCOTUS descisions. More than legislative bills. More than entire executive branch.
Fk boarders. International treaty time.
@Lancegooden Sounds cool man
If that’s the actual agenda? I’m into it.
Way rather have my neighborhood (as it is now, hope to keep it this way) full of hard working, neighborly families and sense of community than inbred hicks, angry with guns.
@LRhodes768@MajesticResists Andy Jackson (of the short lived Jackson 6) just didn’t make the cut.
What with Tito and Jermain in the mix? He never stood a chance.
@LRhodes768@MajesticResists Yeah dummies! Take a page from First Nations people vs the nascent US & Andy Jackson!
Yar!
Your reply has me in giggling like a teenage stoner. Brevity+levity=satire gold
@MajesticResists This has an interesting, hypnotic effect when listened to +20x (as most things do on repeat.)
I’d set phone down while busy and this kept looping.
It’s an absurd lie the first time.
It’s genuinely hilarious after the 20th.
A serendipitous thanks for the laugh!
@TexasTribune@PoojaSalhotra You’re telling me only one person died?
Texas: u disappoint. A celeb megachurch for chrissake! Shoulda been 100’s ded?!
Not a single cop or evangelical were shot and killed?
Welp: it was an amazing run Texas.
Stetsons and pointy shoes off to y’all’s.
