House Preserves Section 702 FISA/FISC Surveillance Instrument

One particular instrument is severely abused by the Intelligence Community, the Judiciary and the federal apparatus more broadly. This instrument’s power and authority is derived from Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act that is applied and adjudicated by means of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court that operates under the purview and authority of U.S. Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts.

This has been a longtime subject of Moonshine analysis and it has returned to center stage in critical ways.

The Backstory

Understand this about the Intelligence Community and the Central Intelligence Agency more specifically: By means of its de facto charter The National Security Act of 1947, the CIA is statutorily prevented from operating domestically to target U.S. citizens as subjects.

This is reflected in the federal government’s generic description of the CIA’s mission found at USA.gov: “The Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) collects, evaluates, and disseminates vital information on economic, military, political, scientific, and other developments abroad to safeguard national security.”

Compare that description to the one found on the CIA’s own site: “The Act charged CIA with coordinating the Nation’s intelligence activities and, among other duties, collecting, evaluating, and disseminating intelligence affecting national security [“abroad” is omitted].”

Peculiarly, the CIA omits “abroad” for its description of itself and frighteningly, the omission makes the description accurate.

In order to circumvent the limitations presented by “aborad”, the IC/CIA requires “bridges” to link CIA to its tactical objective of illegally surveilling the American people.

Bridges are constructed in the texts of laws, statutes, regulations, policies, protocols, [executive] orders, etc.

The bridges are often opened for traffic and set in play as caused by a particular event or series of events where IC/CIA specializes in fraudulently constructing these events for the express purpose of crossing the bridge to trigger and possess otherwise illegal and unconstitutional authority.

More commonly, such scenarios are called “false flags” and Pearl Harbor, the Gulf of Tonkin, 9/11, COVID-19 and the stolen 2020 election are all examples of major ones.

One primary bridge is the “foreign” label as applied to foreign surveillance subjects that are contextually interacting with American citizens and where FISA authority can “hop” to envelop and apply to that U.S. citizen.

In such a scenario, the CIA can, as it did in establishing the legal predicate to spy on candidate and then President Donald J. Trump with Section 702 FISA authority, operationally construct the context between the foreign CIA asset/operative who is the subject of a FISA surveillance warrant and the American subject IC/CIA targets to surveil.

“Mr. American citizen, allow me to introduce you to my friend, who specializes in _______.”

Hop made and American now under Section 702 surveillance.

Such a constructed scenario is exactly how the illegal spying on Trump was predicated and it can be replicated and applied to any American of interest to IC/CIA.

Another primary bridge with an entire series of articles dedicated to it [The Hunt Is On] is found in the legal terms “domestic terrorism” and “domestic terrorist[s].”

By labeling and placing U.S. citizens on watch-lists as “domestic terrorists,” IC/CIA/DOJ/FBI can cross the bridge to trigger and inherit extra-constitutional authority to target U.S. citizens domestically; including prosecuting them.

This explains many things including how IC/CIA/DOJ/FBI will secondarily bridge from the targeting of Trump to the targeting of his constituency writ large, which accounts for the political enemies and opposition to the Biden Administration.

One need not go any further to understand the political, legal and Constitutional significance of the constructed events surrounding the stolen election and the Capitol “insurrection” entrapment operation commenced on 06 Jan 21.

J6 is a constructed bridge.

Succinctly, IC/CIA/DOJ/FBI crossed all of the bridges it had in place on that day.

The timeline of the early 1980s is old Moonshine that is important because it sees the Godfather of ‘Dynastic Bush,’ the head of the communist overthrow snake – George H.W. Bush – ascend up through the CIA following is early 1960s entrance and his role in President Kennedy’s assassination in 1963.

GHWB went on to ascend to CIA’s directorship and then onto the Vice Presidency and then the Executive.

In short, George H.W. Bush is the architect who constructed the modern day interface between IC/CIA and the Executive.

That interface is responsible for the lion’s share of U.S. atrocities at home and abroad.

Consider the timeline relative to this Baltimore Sun piece from 03 Jul 1980; noting that IC/CIA was already working to undermine Constitutional protections at home where its tactics included infiltrating, influencing and controlling cherished American institutions like, “the clergy, journalists and academics.”

We’re dealing with a very, very old enemy and its a domestic one in clear violation of the laws designed to keep it from being a domestic one.

Apply IC/CIA/DOJ/FBI and FISA/FISC/Section 702 facts to this chronology:

30 Apr 23: Epoch Times reported how, “At an April 27 House Judiciary subcommittee hearing, lawmakers heard from a panel of three witnesses associated with the U.S. Office of the Inspector General (OIG) responsible for oversight of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA).” Reporting shows how, “More than 10,000 federal employees could have access to data revealed by a secretive government surveillance program that has come under scrutiny because of alleged abuses, lawmakers were told by U.S. inspectors general.” Consider how, “A court-ordered report released in May 2022 revealed that the FBI had made more than 3.3 million queries of Americans under FISA authority.” Finally, ““Upwards of 10,000 FBI personnel may have access to section 702-acquired FISA data.”

17 May 23: Epoch Times reported that, “The FBI conducted thousands of queries on digital data collected on U.S. citizens in 2021 and 2022 despite having no warrant and no justification under the FBI’s own rules, according to an internal report released on May 10. […] The audit, conducted by the FBI Office of Internal Auditing (OIA), was intended to examine the agency’s compliance with rules for querying data the government routinely collects on U.S. citizens under Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act of 1978 (FISA).” How many of those Americans attach to a fraudulently predicated 06 Jan 21 that was effectuated on Capitol grounds by approximately 200 agents, assets and operatives of the same IC/CIA/DOJ/FBI [and BLM and Antifa troops]?

20 May 23: Epoch Times begins to answer our question reporting how, “The FBI abused its surveillance powers while spying on suspects in the Jan. 6, 2021, breach of the U.S. Capitol and Black Lives Matter protesters, a federal court said in a newly unsealed ruling. FBI agents flaunted standards the agency developed for the Section 702 program, which enables spying on Americans and others, more than 278,000 times, the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court said in the 2022 ruling, which was made public for the first time on May 19.”

14 July 23: Epoch Times reported that, “Despite the Constitution’s Fourth Amendment, which prohibits warrantless government searches, U.S. agencies are proving to be ever more intrusive in their routine surveillance of Americans’ speech and activities...Congressional debates about whether to renew Section 702 are coming amid numerous reports that the FBI and other federal intelligence agencies have abused the surveillance authority granted to them by this law.”

24 Jul 23: Epoch Times reported on the absurd nature of things constituted by elected leaders debating and voting on a surveillance instrument being used to spy on themselves, “FBI employees and agents inappropriately searched foreign surveillance data for the last names of a state senator and a U.S. senator, said a court opinion that was released Friday...an unnamed FBI analyst in June 2022 conducted four separate searches of information that was collected via the warrantless surveillance program under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) “using the last names of a U.S. Senator and a state senator.”” FBI/DOJ did not release any names at the same time it did NOT inform the State Senator or the judge of the illegal section 702 spying; the U.S. was advised.

01 Aug 23: Scores of Moonshine articles in a series that evidenced and accurately projected exactly how Special John Durham would function as an ongoing cover-up operation for a wide slate of criminality coming out of the federal apparatus and specifically as it relates to Section 702 FISA abuses, were entirely on the mark. Zero Hedge reported that, “RCI has learned that at least some of the redacted material, included in a “Classified Appendix” to Special Counsel John Durham’s final report, has nothing to do with protecting “sources and methods” and other “sensitive” investigative techniques. Instead, it covers up additional improper behavior by the FBI brass, which initiated and signed off on all four of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act applications to spy on former Trump adviser Carter Page and his contacts within the Trump campaign and presidency in 2016 and 2017.” The article goes on to delineated the FISA abuses in detail.

02 Aug 23: The Libertarian Institute reported on the obvious and favorable position of the Biden Administration, “The Joe Biden administration released a report endorsing the renewal of a controversial law which enables US intelligence agencies to spy on foreign nationals and American citizens on Monday….Published by the President’s Intelligence Advisory Board and Intelligence Oversight Board, the 42-page report states that a failure of Congress to renew Section 702 of the FISA Amendments Act – before it expires at the end of the year – would constitute “one of the worst intelligence failures of our time.””

13 Sep 23: Reporting at RealClear Wire identified, “a strong bipartisan coalition is arising on Capitol Hill to tackle one serious concern of the American people – protecting millions of innocent Americans from intrusive and unconstitutional surveillance by the FBI, CIA, NSA, and other federal agencies that rifle through our emails, text messages, and phone calls without a warrant.” This is problematic for the Intelligence Community and the Biden Administration where both are primary subjects of Section 702 FISA abuses. This is why it’s a problem, “When leaders of the House Freedom Caucus join with the Progressive Caucus in a determined effort to reform abusive programs, what is the government doing wrong?”

13 Dec 23: RealClear Wire reports how a, “culture of deception even seems to infect the so-called FISA Reform and Reauthorization Act, proposed this week by the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, a bill that represents the wish-list of the intelligence community.…The good news.. is that…Now that these tricks have been spotted in the House Intelligence bill, House members will have a chance to toss out that bill and vote instead for the Protect Liberty and End Warrantless Surveillance Act, which passed the House Judiciary Committee with overwhelming support. That bill likewise reauthorizes Section 702, but also imposes real reforms that will better protect Americans’ privacy from our nation’s overgrown and (sometimes) deceptive intelligence apparatus.“

14 Dec 23: Zero Hedge reports that, “Congress has approved a short-term extension of the nation’s warrantless surveillance powers, punting to the new year a decision over how to reform the law. Included in the defense policy bill headed to the president’s desk after approval by the House on Thursday is a measure that extends Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) until mid-April.”

15 Dec 23: CBS reports that the number of people worldwide included on the federal government’s “terrorist” watch-lists is around 2 million people, “including, as we noted, thousands of Americans.“ “This revelation, derived from an extensive review of court records, government documents, and interviews with intelligence community leaders, paints a complex picture of national security measures and civil liberties.” The federal government keeps its terrorist watch-lists secretive just like the criteria for landing on one.

The Takeaway

Existing Moonshine analysis projected and evidenced exactly how both former and current Speakers of the House Kevin McCarthy, R-CA and Mike Johnson, R-LA, respectively, are IC/CIA proxies functioning as House Speakers with IC guardrail and gatekeeper duties.

That dynamic significantly impacts the FISA/FISC/Section 702 surveillance instrument and its renewal.

Johnson’s House put up a bill that favors the Biden Administration and “represents the wish-list of the intelligence community.”

Standing in opposition, there is strong bipartisan support to overhaul and reform FISA/FISC/Section 702 during unprecedented and politically charged times where bipartisanship is a rare and fleeting endeavor.

Rather than seizing the moment in service to Americans with support from a strong contingency of Democrats, fake Republicans led by IC/CIA guardrail and gate keeper, Speaker Mike Johnson, instead punted with a short-term extension of the Section 702 surveillance instrument that will permit the IC/CIA/DOJ/FBI to continue its illegal and unconstitutional spying on Americans right up to the 2024 election doorstep in mid-April 2024.

There are fake Republicans and fake Democrats who belong to real Uniparty.

That Uniparty is owned, controlled and operated by the Intelligence Community and Central Intelligence Agency.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation and Department of Justice are no different where each does the bidding of its IC/CIA principals.

There is zero surprise that House Speaker Mike Johnson delivered anything other than exactly what the IC/CIA wanted.

“Naturally, the US intelligence community praised its passage as “necessary” to national security.” [Source]
