Top presidential candidate Donald Trump just keeps on winning, even when he’s not in the Oval Office.
In an especially sweet victory, Trump just scored a massive victory over invasive intelligence agencies, which currently best known for their (poor) coverup of the real origins of Hunter Biden’s laptop.
Which begin with the current occupant of the Oval Office, as Hunter certainly didn’t score meetings with shady Ukrainians, Russians, Chinese, and too many other foreign individuals to count without that surname currency.
Little wonder that Trump was hardly in favor of a bill designed to extend the Foreign Surveillance Intelligence Act (FISA) once again, which the swamp has weaponized against American citizens for decades.
Including Trump himself.
“KILL FISA, IT WAS ILLEGALLY USED AGAINST ME, AND MANY OTHERS. THEY SPIED ON MY CAMPAIGN!!!”
So proclaimed Trump proclaimed on Truth Social prior to the House vote on a new bill designed to extend the FISA bill for several more years.
With precious few safeguards, it would appear.
And, as it turns out, when Trump talked, others listened.
Much to the mainstream media’s irritation.
“Right-wing House Republicans on Wednesday blocked legislation to extend an expiring warrantless surveillance law that national security officials call crucial to gathering intelligence and fighting terrorism, dealing Speaker Mike Johnson a stinging defeat after former President Donald J. Trump urged lawmakers to kill the bill …
In an upset on the House floor, the measure, which would extend a section of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act known as Section 702, failed what is normally a routine procedural test. On a vote of 228 to 193, 19 House Republicans, most aligned with the ultraconservative House Freedom Caucus, joined Democrats in opposing its consideration,” the New York Times reported.
Well, Dems likely opposed the bill due to it not going “far enough” in protecting the bill’s mass surveillance provisions for the government – Indeed, Dems were gunning for a blanket, eight-year extension of the bill.
Republicans balked, and the so-called “compromise” was apparently a five-year extension instead.
That, however, was still too much time, especially as the “compromise” did not include safeguards for Americans who are all too vulnerable to governments addicted to an excess of overreach.
And, more importantly, while the media may rage now about FISA not being blanketly extended, it is worth looking back at sentiments previously expressed by the media, before Biden was in power.
Consider a publication from Reuters in 2020.
“Seven years after former National Security Agency contractor Edward Snowden blew the whistle on the mass surveillance of Americans’ telephone records, an appeals court has found the program was unlawful – and that the U.S. intelligence leaders who publicly defended it were not telling the truth …
In a ruling handed down on Wednesday, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit said the warrantless telephone dragnet that secretly collected millions of Americans’ telephone records violated the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act and may well have been unconstitutional,” the media outlet detailed.
No kidding.
That act was most certainly abused, big time, following the events of January 6, which would explain how the federal government nabbed American citizens all over the nation for their supposed sedition.
Strangely, the FISA Act is not used to target illegals, it would appear … even when they are busted engaging in open violence.
Frankly, what’s the point of the “security” of FISA when Biden permits all kinds of terrorists stream across the border with impunity?
