Intelligence Community Wins Again: House Advances Modified FISA/FISC Bill

ANALYSIS: Asset House Speaker Mike Johnson and the House advance a bill to preserve the FISA/FISC surveillance instrument for the Intelligence Community.

The Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court, which is authorized by the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act and overseen by U.S. Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts is two things that we know about: 1-the most secretive court in the federal Judiciary and 2-the most severely abused court for political warfare that normally plays-out as operational lawfare. In December 2023, I wrote an article entitled ‘House Preserves Section 702 FISA/FISC Surveillance Instrument‘ and in it, I examined and identified these things important for the analysis here:

1. “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.”

2. “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.”

GO DEEPER

With the article House Preserves Section 702 FISA/FISC Surveillance Instrument, which contains an expansive look at FISA/FISC including its de facto charter in the National Security Act of 1947, a history that draws back to George H.W. Bush’s entrance into the CIA in the early 1960s, and its deep contextual backdrop in application to FISA/FISC abuses against candidate and then President Trump.

In summary, these points are critical:

1. House Speaker Johnson as an IC asset with guardrail and gatekeeper duties

2. Johnson’s acquiescence to Democrats and Biden on FISA/FISC representing alignment with IC designs for FISA/FISC

3. Short-term FISA/FISC extension of Section 702 until mid-April 2024, bringing us to the present and new developments

Reporting from Zero Hedge indicates that, “On Friday, House lawmakers voted 213-208 to advance the modified legislation, just days after 19 Republicans joined all Democrats in voting against advancing the original version of the bill to the floor.”

We note the bipartisan opposition but not for long: “Now, all of the initial holdouts flipped their vote to move the bill forward – after the length of reauthorization was shortened from five years to two, and an agreement to bring Rep. Warren Davidson’s (R-OH) Fourth Amendment is Not For Sale Act to the floor sometime next week in a stand-alone vote – which would require the government to obtain a warrant before purchasing information about US citizens from data brokers.

Moreover, “Edward Snowden also encouraged followers to vote for the “Biggs Amendment,” which requires the government to obtain a warrant in general (not just when purchasing from data brokers), and against the “HSPCI Amendments,” which “EXPAND mass surveillance instead of reforming it.””

The reporting goes on to remind us of the consequences and dangers: “Section 702 of FISA allows for the warrantless surveillance of foreigners outside of the US – which allows the government to sweep up communications from Americans who are interacting with individuals who are being spied on. The ‘Biggs Amendment’ would add a warrant requirement before the government can review information collected on Americans.”

The analysis remains on strait rails as the Intelligence Community wins again in preservation of one of its most formidable weapons: the FISA/FISC surveillance instrument.

Of course, the American people lose again because the Intelligence Community is the principal here and Speaker Johnson’s House, which is no different than Pelosi’s or McCarthy’s, is the functionary that will deliver what is requested of it because that’s how things really work.

Any notions of liberty, freedom, democracy, a Constitutional Republic, a two-party system, “Republicans,” “Democrats” and “elections” should be dismissed on their collective face because they’re relics from the historical past that have been exchanged for a fantasy land of life on a technocratic plantation within a global network of them.

Plantation life is enforced by Marxist communism in ways that keep minds entrapped by cultural Marxism disseminated by a pervasive and ubiquitous propaganda machine that ensures a proper on-reservation and enslavement mindset.

The rest of us are just whistling Dixie, waiving tattered flags for old time’s sake and waiting for the Intelligence Community to steal the next election so the institutions are preserved and operations seamlessly carry forward.

That dynamic won’t change until this one does as I put it in yesterday’s analysis:

First goes the First Amendment.

Second goes the Second Amendment.

Third goes the entire country into the throes of Marxist communism.

All of that is a lot easier when the opposition is frightened and threatened into silence by the examples of the few who tried to stand-up to it and are locked-up or dead.

Therein is the real lesson: When 327 million of us say “yes” or “no” there nothing anyone can do about it but when 327 million of us are pitted, divided and bickering about manufactured and propagandized nonsense that doesn’t matter, a tiny handful can do to us whatever they want and there’s nothing we can do about it.

Something to think about, America.

Political Moonshine

Something to think about, indeed.
