Biden team may partner with private firms to
monitor extremist chatter online

Original Article

Posted By: Dreadnought, 5/4/2021 1:05:28 AM

Washington The Biden administration is considering using outside firms to track extremist chatter by Americans online, an effort that would expand the government's ability to gather intelligence but could draw criticism over surveillance of US citizens. The Department of Homeland Security is limited in how it can monitor citizens online without justification and is banned from activities like assuming false identities to gain access to private messaging apps used by extremist groups such as the Proud Boys or Oath Keepers. Instead, federal authorities can only browse through unprotected information

This is blending the FBI, the DHS, and the 'Steele Dossier' crowd with the Southern Poverty Law Center. What could (has?) possibly go wrong? This is a Five Eyes scenario at the CONUS level. This article suggests a modified limited hangout for something that's ongoing.

Neither the Proud Boys nor Oath Keepers are "extremist" groups. What they believe in is perfectly mainstream and American. Why no mention of monitoring true extremist groups such as antifa or BLM, who burn down cities, assault random citizens and police, and use violence as a political weapon? These people live in an alternative universe, where they believe they can change reality by changing the definition of words... such as "extremist."

I can remember when talk like this would have been unheard of and both democrats and republicans would vigorously denounce it. Seems times have changed. Democrats promote it and Republicans may whine about it but ultimately democrats will get their way. I always thought President Regans quote, “ Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn’t pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend out sunset years telling our children and our children’s children what it was like in the United States where men were free.” was something that could never happen here. How wrong I was. Living it is devastating, heartbreaking, and becoming all to real.

First Amendment Loophole copied from another venue: Step 1: Government asks Big Tech to censor you Step 2: Big Tech censors you Since the government didn’t technically censor you, your First Amendment right was not technically violated. You are effectively silenced by the government with no standing to claim your rights were violated.

If the government is in any way tied to big tech spying on you, that is an abridgement of your constitutional rights. Any lawyer would argue that big tech would not have spied on you if government hadn't asked them to.

This blending between government and business has a familiar ring to it like something I read in a history book or two or a hundred. Oh yea, Nazi Germany. Government sells special favor and that favor is paid back in the form of services that accomplish things the law prevents government from doing. There was a SCOTUS ruling on something similar to this once that recognized the private entity as essentially an extension of government. May have been Marsh V Alabama. As if the law matters what am I even thinking.

It bears repeating that in the United States we do not have a Government which is empowered to impose an official orthodoxy and therefore we do not have a government that is empowered to ban any thoughts as "extremist." The Government is limited to investigating and prosecuting illegal acts which persons may undertake to further their beliefs. The Federal Government already possesses sufficient authority to address the blatant online organizing of illegal activity by the likes of Black Lives Matter and Antifa but obviously lacks the desire to do so.

Antifa and BLM are much too stupid to conduct this type of operation so they will continue to be Joe's ragtag foot soldiers. The NSA did not build that brand new site in Utah to listen in on your phone calls to Grandma, although they routinely do. They will employ contractors to gather the data and they will do the sifting and processing and tell the FBI where to conduct the raids. Not that Joe's Puppet Masters would worry about any of it being Constitutional. That concept was abandoned by our intel agencies about 70 years ago.

So, with a wink and a nudge, will DHS also be "partnering" (that means hiring as independent contractors and paying them, to those who haven't been following this stuff for the last 6 years) with third parties to break into homes and offices, rifle through and photograph private papers, and plant listening devices and web cams? Looks like 2021 will see an ABUNDANT crop of fruit of the poisonous tree. Heck, they hired third party contractors to perform illegal searches of the NSA databases, searches they could not have done themselves without a warrant. Seems to me our government employees should spend less time trying to figure out ways around our Constitutional protections and more time diligently pursuing those they catch fair and square. HALF of the Portland rioters (they repeatedly tried to set fire to a federal building) had their federal charges quietly dropped. DHS is not building public confidence in their motives OR methods.

These "private" companies would be acting on the behest and direction of government agencies. And, didn't SCOTUS make a ruling about the "right to privacy" a while back? So, would these entities now be considering any message posted as on a public forum, thus, similar to "you have no right to privacy outdoors"? If so, then wouldn't that open up the argument that likes of FB and Google would be operating on public broadcasting / transmitting lines, and expose them to be similar to a utility? Didn't AT&T get broken up into "baby bells" once upon a time?

The more than 21,000 migrant children are being held in a network of roughly 200 facilities across two dozen states, according to confidential government data obtained by the AP. Several of the facilities, which are run by the Department of Health and Human Services, currently house more than 1,000 children. The children range in age from toddlers to teenagers.

The CEO of the company whose pipeline was crippled by a cyberattack warned Monday of potential supply shortages in the Southeastern U.S., even as it works to reopen the line and remove the ransomware. While Colonial Pipeline Co. is working out a complex plan to restart operations, CEO Joseph Blount said in a private meeting Monday, they needed to remove the ransomware before resuming shipments, reported Bloomberg News. He spoke in a virtual meeting that included Deputy U.S. Energy Secretary David Turk, Bloomberg said, citing someone familiar with the 18-minute discussion. The company did not immediately comment but issued a statement a short time later.

A broad range of photographic documents will be accepted, not just limited to passports and driver’s licenses. We have also been clear that a free voter card will be available if needed.”

Mr. Romney is the sole Republican in the Senate to vote to convict Mr. Trump on an abuse-of-power charge following the Jan. 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol.

That fear deformed his presidency and sent the nation spiraling down a lethal rabbit hole that has benefitted no one more than the Mao-loving matrons of BLM. (snip) there is no one Barack fears more than wife Michelle, his personal emissary from the world of authentic African-Americans.

If you have been keeping an eye on the election audit taking place right now in Maricopa County, Arizona, then you also know that Democrats, news propagandists, and "concerned" NeverTrump Republicans are beginning to sound more and more like trapped rats squeaking in fear.
