Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Act is coming up for renewal and a five-member panel called the Privacy and Civil Liberties Board issued a nearly 300-page report recommending limitations on warrantless searches to the section before it is renewed.
The panel is composed of three Democrats and two Republicans. The Democrats are recommending restrictions be placed to prevent American citizens from being caught up in the surveillance, as they appear to have been under the existing law. The Republicans oppose this limitation, citing concerns the intelligence community will be too bogged down to do effective work.
It is not often we find ourselves so starkly in agreement with Democrats and so diametrically opposed to Republicans, but our allegiance is first to God and then our Republic, which the Republicans, in this instance, seek to undermine. Where we differ from the Democrats is with their assertion that Section 702 should be renewed at all, even with these changes.
A senior administrative official told the press, “It is, in essence, two reports: A three-member report and a two-member report,” a senior administration official told reporters on Wednesday. “The fact that there’s such division … makes it hard for the hill to know what exactly to do with two competing reports.”
We have long been saying the greatest power the DNC-CCP has is the fact that the Republican Party is not true “republican” in nature, and, while it may not be radically opposed to the American republic like the DNC-CCP is, it is more interested in using the language of American republicanism without actually committing to laws that reflect American republicanism. They seek more to manipulate the American masses with American language during elections, but consistently fail to deliver American values when it comes to actually passing and enforcing legislation.
This action by Republicans on this panel further highlights the need for Americans to have American political parties rather than the two we currently have. 2024 will be a contest between opportunists hoping to exploit the language of America and seditionists openly working to destroy it, even using anti-American language to do it.
The Republicans fear disorder so much they are willing to sacrifice liberty to preserve it. The Democrats fear order so much, they are willing to sacrifice liberty to prevent it (until their brand of order comes into its full power).
The DNC-CCP will be appealing to the jealous, the lazy, the psychotic, the perverse to do win in 2024, bringing along a host of “Democrats” who yet still refuse to believe their party is anything other than a champion for the disenfranchised, who yet still refuse to believe their party has been co-opted by foreigners-in-spirit seeking to end liberty for all, including the liberty of those masses who foolishly vote for such a reprobate, Satanic party.
The House Oversight Committee revealed bank transaction records that show Hunter Biden received two wire transfers from CCCP agents that went directly to Joe Biden’s Wilmington, Delaware home. The transfers amounted to a total of $260,000.
The first wire transfer was in July of 2019 from Ms. Wang Xin. The second wire transfer was in August of 2019 from Ms. Tan Ling and Li Xiang Sheng, for $250,000. All three of these individuals are high-ranking executives of BHR Partners “a Beijing-baked private equity firm controlled by the Bank of China Limited,” according to Fox New Digital. Hunter Biden was also on the board of the Communist-Party-controlled firm.
It should be noted the same day that this discovery was announced is the day a NY Judge decided he didn’t need any real evidence to determine Trump was guilty of fraud, a pattern that is oft-repeated by the DNC-CCP to give their content marketing firms, ABC News, CNN, etc., something scandalous about Trump to run with so they can continue to conceal their audience from the real criminal, the seditionist-in-Chief, Joe Biden.
While Trump stands accused of exaggerated his business value to get better loan deals, Joe Biden stands accused of direct treason against the United States of America for personal monetary gain. To the DNC-CCP run media outlets, Trump’s “fraud” is more important than having a sitting President being caught red-handed taking hundreds of thousands of dollars from an enemy of the American nation, the Chinese Communist Party, which shows the seditious nature of the whole DNC-CCP operation.
As this writer has pointed out in other reports, the DNC-CCP and its supporters live in a different country than America, Progmerica, which is no America at all. In Progmerica, it’s a criminal offense to oppose abortion, it’s a ‘far-right’ position to support the 2nd Amendment representing our right to keep and bear arms against all enemies, foreign and domestic. And of course all these American ideas like individual liberty and rule of law are just dog whistles for white supremacism.
When they accuse of sedition or treason, they’re right, but only because their country, Progmerica, is diametrically opposed to our country, the United States of America as defined by our Declaration of Independence, from which authority’s power flows, to our Constitution, from which the boundaries of that authority are determined.
The DNC-CCP is a treasonous outfit determined to destroy the American republic and its content marketing firms are in complete agreement, and willing to use their culture-making power to protect the DNC-CCP and destroy any American voice that dare speak against it, including Trump, including me, including you.
In the latest lawfare assault against the perceived strongest opposition to the DNC-CCP, a New York Judge, Arthur Engoron, decided to find Trump guilty fraud in a summary judgment that essentially blocks Trump and certain Trump Inc executives from doing business in New York state anymore. The judge claimed the whole case was a documents case, charging him with fraud whenever he claimed the business was more valuable than the judge says it is, despite never going through the process of discovery to determine that alleged “fact.”
The ruling, if it is allowed to stand, could make criminals of anyone who estimated their net worth beyond what a judge thinks it is if that estimate was used to gain favorable terms. No one was harmed in this alleged fraud other than the Trump-deranged judge’s feelings.
The Judge said in his 35-page ruling, “the documents here clearly contain fraudulent valuations that defendants used in business, satisfying [the attorney general’s] burden to establish liability as a matter of law against defendants. Defendants’ respond that: the documents do not say what they say; that there is no such thing as ‘objective; value; and that, essentially, the Court should not believe its own eyes.”
The Court has no objective standard to assess the actual value of the Trump empire other than the judge’s unfounded opinions.
It could very well be that Trump exaggerated valuation claims in various business dealings and that could technically be deemed “fraud,” but these types of exaggerations are never prosecuted like they have been against Trump.
The judge was elected by an overwhelmingly Democrat-majority district and is a registered Democrat.
The Trump team will appeal this case, but unless they can get before American, as opposed to Democrat judges, that appeal is likely to fail until it reaches the Supreme Court. Then we can find out if the judiciary has any Americans left in it or not.
Trump said of the ruling, “I have a Deranged, Trump Hating Judge, who RAILROADED this FAKE CASE through a NYS Court at a speed never before seen.” This writer is inclined to agree with him. The ruling makes everyone ow at risk that does business in New York state and fails to comply to the will of the Democratic Party. This is just another reason for anyone who CAN escape Democrat-run states to do so before another leftist judge arbitrarily decides to find you guilty of fraud for challenging the party’s power.
Amid all the shrill backbiting over continuing to flagellate the dying Ukrainian efforts against Russia, as well as the capering of France trying to stave off the disintegration of its African satrapies, as those states internally realign themselves with Russia and China – by force, when necessary – a specter lurks in the background, the proverbial “elephant in the room”: Communist Chinese insecurity over Taiwan.
In this insecurity, lay the seeds of global economic collapse.
At the end of World War Two, Communist leader Mao Zedong led his “People’s Liberation Army” out of their mountain hideouts, and slid in behind Soviet forces occupying Manchuria, swiftly arming themselves with ex-Japanese military equipment captured from the defeated Imperial Japanese Army. Thus armed, the Communists went on the offensive against the exhausted Nationalist Kuomintang (KMT) forces, which had born the brunt of fighting against the Japanese for the preceding eight years (1937-1945).
Despite several billion dollars in US aid, and the poorly though-out deployment of the III Amphibious Corps and elements of the 7th Fleet, the sheer exhaustion and demoralization of the KMT resulted in a series of worsening defeats on the battlefield, until, in 1949, the surviving KMT military and government units retreated (for the most part) to the island of Formosa (now, Taiwan), and established a government in exile.
That is the situation as it remains, today.
Communist China, throughout its bloody and draconian history from 1950 until today, cannot abide that a recognized province of the country is not under its thumb. This manifests itself in the news of today, as near-continual violations of Taiwan’s declared air and sea boundaries by Communist military forces. The normal response of the United States has been to occasionally deploy aircraft carrier battle groups into the disputed waters as a dare to the Communists to fire on them.
The question for many, however, is – why? After all, the United States famously showed Taiwan the door in 1972, which made the country a diplomatic pariah state…so, why does the United States constantly go “eyeball-to-eyeball” with Communist Beijing over the island? For that matter, why can’t Beijing just let it go?
Two answers: For Beijing – and particularly for Premier Xi Jinping – Taiwan is a gaping sore for the Communists, as the island rapidly prospered under the KMT’s governance, while Communist China wallowed in poverty, famine and induced technological stagnation under the increasingly mentally unstable Mao…and that, in spite of the extreme brutality of the KMT’s actions in securing the island, beginning in the late 1940’s. As prosperous as Communist China has become in the aftermath of the reforms of Deng Xiaoping, the Communist state still lags behind Taiwan by a long distance.
Second, the United States knows a fundamental truth that many around the world (and particularly within the United States), a truth that is the basis of this article:
Any Communist attempt to invade and conquer Taiwan – even if it failed – would collapse the global economy overnight.
The reason for this is brutally simple: microchips.
Circuit board. Public Domain.
Silicon chips, semiconductors, or integrated circuits as the Reader prefers, are what drive modern technology, from the device you are reading this article on, to the CPU in your car, computer chips drive every object of any consequence in your everyday life.
Most of Taiwan’s chips are produced by one company, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. (TSMC). Unlike other manufacturers like Samsung and Intel (who manufacture chips for internal products), however, TSMC chips are not proprietary to them. Instead, their chips supply manufacturers of computer-driven hardware around the world, companies like Apple, Nvidia and Qualcomm, to name just three. Other nations around the world currently hover at less than half of TSMC’s production capacity; the United States currently holds about 12% of the global manufacturing capacity.
Invasions, as proven by the Russia’s invasion of the Ukraine, are bloody, messy and highly destructive affairs. Any actual Communist Chinese attempt to seize Taiwan would be no different, the severe problems of a combined arms assault on the island equating to a probable Communist failure aside. To say that such an invasion would “disrupt” TSMC’s operations is a laughable understatement, not least because standard military doctrine virtually guarantees direct attacks on the company’s production facilities, to say nothing of worker attrition from “collateral damage”.

What would such a circumstance mean for the global economy? Simply, virtually all generalized computer and electronic device production and repair or upgrades utilizing semiconductors would grind to a halt, as stocks of chips dried up virtually overnight. This is due to the phenomenon of “just-in-time delivery”, an outgrowth of the wave of globalization that has been the norm since the 1990’s.
The Reader may recall the term “supply chain disruption” that became popular during the recent pandemic. Workers at both manufacturing plants, but also – critically – stevedores and loading crane operators stayed home, either terrified of catching the disease, by legal order, or both. This ricocheted throughout the global supply and transport system, and was greatly aggravated by what many considered to be a minor event, namely the grounding of the container ship Ever Given in March of 2021. The effects of these body blows to the global economy continue as of this writing.

In regards to a hypothetical – but very possible – Communist invasion of Taiwan, the disruption would be vastly worse, as there is no way for global manufacturers to quickly retool to make up for the loss, even if a ceasefire were quickly closed…And note that this does not address the general disruption of commercial cargo traffic in and out of the Communist nation, in the event of such a war.
But, there is an even greater danger lurking in this very possible scenario: the facts that not only will Taiwan not go quietly, but that they have a plan to take Communist China with them.
Without resorting to nuclear weapons.
The non-Communist Chinese in Taiwan all know full well what a Communist takeover of their country would entail. Given the Communist state’s recent history, to say nothing of its habit of “disappearing” political dissidents and anyone who disagrees with their regime too loudly. Because of this, there lurks a plan that Taipei lets slip every once in a while, to remind Beijing of what the consequences of invasion would be.
The Three Gorges Dam on the Yangtze River, China, 2009. CCA/2.0 Generic
Taiwan’s “doomsday” plan (YouTube link) would be a series of strikes against the Three Gorges Dam. If concentrated, such a strike package would collapse at least a section of the dam, releasing the force of 39.3 km3 to pour downstream in a massive deluge.
Provisionally, this action could kill up to 400 million people…And this is not an idle threat, as the KMT has done it before. To say that this could result in a nuclear response is a given…with everything else that derives from that.
Right now, Communist China is desperate to appear tough and capable. The chances of bluster turning into an actual invasion are very real, however.
This fact is something that should be taken seriously by anyone reading this.
The Freedomist — Keeping Watch, So You Don’t Have To
The lawsuit against FTX founder and crypto scammer Sam Bankman-Fried’s parents, Allen Joseph Bankman and Barbara Fried reveal a massive dark money network that saw FTX siphon billions of scammed dollars to DNC-CCP organizations and PACs, and his parents might have been the ones pushing it the whole time.
From Yahoo Finance: Sam Bankman-Fried’s mom encouraged him to donate millions to politicans — including to a PAC she chaired — via other FTX executives, according to a lawsuit seen by Insider.
Lawyers handling the crypto exchange’s bankruptcy case are suing Bankman-Fried’s parents, Joe Bankman and Barbara Fried, accusing them of siphoning millions of dollars from company funds.
That includes a $10 million gift which lawyers say has been used for Bankman-Fried’s legal defense, and a $16.4 million beachfront house in the Bahamas. FTX’s lawyers are hoping to recoup that money to help pay back customers.
The father, Allan Jospeh Bankman, allegedly had communications with his son that indicated he had access to Arabella funds, these are funds the family created that did not have to discplose their donors. Through these funds, the family sent billions to DNC-CCP interests, funding them, essentially with stolen money from the FTX crypto scam.
From the Free Beacon: The FTX lawsuit alleges that Allan Joseph Bankman and his wife, Barbara Fried—both Stanford Law professors and major Democratic donors—played a direct role in FTX’s downfall through breaches of fiduciary duties, fraudulent transfers, and unjust enrichment. The lawsuit cited Bankman’s discussions of his son’s partnership with Arabella as proof he had “unfettered access” to FTX’s finances.
“It’s alarming to learn the extent to which Sam Bankman-Fried and his family are clearly tangled in the Left’s dark money web,” Americans for Public Trust executive director Caitlin Sutherland said. “It should raise serious questions and scrutiny about SBF’s Washington pay-to-play scheme and how he tried to use the Arabella apparatus to further his ill-gotten influence.”
Both of SBF’s parents have deep ties to what might be called the Deep State well before SBF rose to power with FTX. It is looking more and more like the parents were the real masterminds behind the whole affair, using their son as the frontman in a dark money laundering scheme intended to deliver to the DNC-CCP billions of dollars that were used to win elections and shake down businesses that didn’t allow DNC-CCP organizations to inject monitors into their businesses to assure their compliance with the party line.
This is why, this writer theorizes, the DOJ, run by Lawfare Assassin-in-Chief Merrick Garland, mysteriously dropped all campaign finance charges against SBF, to keep this information out of the spotlight, to protect the DNC-CCP from the truth of the nature of much of its real power, dark money, whose sources are theft and foreign powers buying agents willing to sacrifice the republic for their personal, family gains.
More from the Free BeaconArabella claims it only provides back-office administrative support to New Venture Fund and the other nonprofit funds in its network. But documents obtained by the Free Beacon show Arabella wields centralized control over the funds, which hauled in a combined $3.3 billion in 2020 and 2021 and used those resources to operate hundreds of Democratic projects across the country. Each of those projects is managed by a team of Arabella employees, including an account manager and a managing director.
Sam Bankman-Fried was a major force in Democratic circles prior to his downfall in November. He was the second-largest individual political donor in the 2022 election cycle and has donated more than $40 million to Democratic candidates and political committees. Bankman-Fried gave $5 million to President Joe Biden’s primary Super PAC, Future Forward, in 2020, and the disgraced financier also gave $300,000 to Democrats on the House Financial Services Committee, which oversaw his industry.
In return, Bankman-Fried was granted unfettered access to powerful Democrats. The disgraced crypto kingpin visited Biden’s top adviser, Steve Ricchetti, and other officials across four visits to the White House in 2022 as he waged an aggressive lobbying campaign in Washington, D.C., for cryptocurrency regulation. Prior to FTX’s collapse, Bankman-Fried’s competitors alleged he was trying to use his government connections to regulate his competition out of the market.
Two major announcements happened this week that point to an overall shift among mega-corporations, especially of the international variety, as they announce incentives, well-funded incentives, to align with the U.N’s global “woke” agenda that hides behind innocuous words like equity, diversity, social justice, democracy, and racial justice. One is from Bank of America, who is going all in on “sustainable investments,” and another is from Citizens Financial Group, who plans on committing $50 billion to “ESG Financing.”
Bank of America has announced a $1.5 trillion push towards “sustainable investments.” BOA managing director Karen Fang said “We think we can achieve $1.5 trillion in sustainable investments in 10 years in a responsible and disciplined manner consistent with our responsible growth strategy,”
Citizens Financial Group is looking to commit $50 billion to “sustainable financing” by 2030, hoping to achieve “carbon neutrality” by 2035. They also plan on having bankers lecture to businesses about being more aligned with U.N Climate Change goals, meaning they plan on aggressively shaking down their clients to comply or face financial consequences.
More and more major financial organizations are adopting this model of “sustainable financing,” which is a dog whistle for what this writer calls corporate Woketarianism, a version of the woke virus that ultimately preserves the power of the elites while marketing to the “disenfranchised,” promising Utopia on the other side of the mess that must be made now to purge the land of the old things that stood in the way of human excellence, or words to that effect.
Sustainable financing means punishing the businesses that don’t bend to the ideology, not just when it comes to the climate, but when it comes to all aspects of human being, including race, gender, religion, and politics. It’s not enough for these oil companies to drill responsibly, they must do so with an HR department manned by politically approved woketarian activists who can assure compliance is met from within, like a trade unionist leader assigned by the corporate state (which some might say sounds a lot like fascism, because, well, it is).
Ever since Biden’s catastrophic pullout from Afghanistan with no real plan, and no real effort to assure the Taliban didn’t get our military equipment, China has been stepping into the void, offering the Taliban legitimacy and world recognition.
Now, Taliban welcomes China’s new ambassador, calling the decision by China to have an ambassador that recognizes the brutal raping and murdering regime (which is just one of the many things the two fascistic nations have in common with one another) further proof that the rest of the world needs to follow suit, the rest of the world needs to develop normal relations with the theocracy of hate and fear (something they share in common with America’s DNC-CCP).
The Taliban’s chief spokesman, Zabihullah Mujahid, told The Associated Press “It also signals to other countries to come forward and interact with the Islamic Emirate. We should establish good relations as a result of good interactions and, with good relations, we can solve all the problems that are in front of us or coming in the future.”
So far, China is the only country willing to recognize the cult-nation, which makes sense given the cult-like nature of its own nation, led, as it is, by the cult of personality wannabe Xi Jinping, a model of hope for the DNC-CCP who dreams one day of having their own cult of personality dictate to us Americans OUR terms of existence in the same way Xi does to his people, in the same way the Taliban does through its cult of personality “leader,” Muhammad (or at least their version of the child-marrying “prophet.”)
The tool was created in response to the crackdown on protestors and protest organizations by Iran. The fact that the tool was designed by a team working for a company who pushes the DNC-CCP narrative and oppresses users who too impactfully contradict that narrative is a bit of actual irony, but we liberty-lovers will take it and apply it in ways this team probably would never imagine, or support.
The tool itself, while designed to help a preferred oppressed group of people (Iranians wanting to live their own stewarded lives), can help an oppressed group of people Google has clearly demonstrated is not one of their preferred ones, the American people, those of us that also wish to live self-stewarded lives, not lives defined by and for the party, the DNC-CCP.
Jigsaw tweeted, “In times of crisis, internet connectivity is a lifeline, but authoritarian regimes are sophisticated at blocking access. That’s why VPNs are vital to keep people online when they need it most.”
They offered an explanation of what they’ve actually created, “Our team created this toolkit [Outline SDK] for developers. It empowers them to embed circumvention tech directly into their apps. Outline SDK simplifies the process, allowing apps to continue delivering crucial content even when faced with censorship, all without the need for a VPN.”
It would be much better if toolkits like this were developed by open-source liberty groups as opposed to Google, whose founding mantra, “don’t be evil” was long abandoned even before the creation of the parent corporation, Alphabet, who holds more allegiance with Karl Marx than it does Thomas Jefferson, who embraces evil in the name of ending evil, like all “good” leftists do.
Azerbaijan announced Tuesday it had begun an “anti-terrorist operation” in the disputed Nagorno-Karabakh region, The assault came after Azerbaijan’s defense minister accused terrorists in the region of killing six Azerbaijani soldiers through land mines. The ministry released a statement, claiming “Localized anti-terrorist measures have been launched in the region.” They added they will be using “high precision weapons on the front line and in depth as part of the operations.”
The capital of the region, Stepanakert, is reporting sounds of explosions and sirens. It has also lost cell reception.
2,000 Russian Peacekeepers are present, but they are not making any action to halt what is reported so far as artillery fire into the Nagorno-Karabakh region. U.S. State Secretary Anthony Blinken said the U.S. was “deeply concerned by Azerbaijan’s military actions in Nagorno-Karabakh and calls on Azerbaijan to cease these actions immediately. These actions are worsening an already dire humanitarian situation in Nagorno-Karabakh and undermine prospects for peace. … We call for an immediate end to hostilities and for respectful dialogue between Baku and representatives of the population of Nagorno-Karabakh.”
Meanwhile Russian and Iranian Military leaders are meeting in Tehran to discuss what can be done to de-escalate the situation. Iran is calling on both sides to respect the 2020 ceasefire treaty while also supporting Azerbaijan’s claims that the region is part of their republic.
While it makes that claim, it also accuses Israel, an ally of Azerbaijan, of being behind the whole affair, saying it will not tolerate any “Zionist initiative on border reshuffling in the region.”
Jack Smith and his collection of lawfare assassins are moving to up the ante against opponents of the Biden regime, announcing plans to seek a gag order against President Trump that is “narrow, well-defined.” Meanwhile, Jack Smith opposed the removal of DNC-CCP activist U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan, as requested by the Trump legal team over clear demonstrations of bias against the President and his supporters.
Jack Smith’s team wrote of their efforts to muzzle the leading candidate of the only viable opposition party to the current President, Joe Biden, “Since the grand jury returned an indictment in this case, the defendant has repeatedly and widely disseminated public statements attacking the citizens of the District of Columbia, the Court, prosecutors, and prospective witnesses. Through his statements, the defendant threatens to undermine the integrity of these proceedings and prejudice the jury pool.”
If the order is granted, Trump has vowed to violate it, daring the DNC-CCP to actually put him in jail during the middle of a Presidential campaign. The move could be a major escalation in the growing divide in this country between the constitutionalists and the progressives, between Americans and progmericans, who are no Americans at all. They are traitors to our nation, and we are traitors to theirs.
Trump wrote of the threat, “They Leak, Lie, & Sue, & they won’t allow me to SPEAK.” He later said Smith “wants to take away my rights under the First Amendment” and “my right to speaking freely and openly. They want to silence me because I will never let them silence you.”
This writer is inclined to believe President Trump. Even as Jack Smith deploys lawfare to protect his party that hired him to take the opposition out, by any means necessary, his kind is doing the same type of underhanded thuggery around the world, from Guatemala to Nigeria. Perhaps the rest of the world learned from the DNC-CCP how to effectively criminalize the opposition while still calling yourself a “Democracy” (even though we are a Democratic Republic, NOT a Democracy).
Jack Smith is destroying what little is left of America’s claims of being a little more “democratic,” a little more “free” than any other nation of the world. He is turning our nation into a banana republic, and other “prosecutors” are joining in the systematic destruction of the spirit of American liberty at home and abroad.
