FBI Conducted Potentially Millions of Searches of Americans’ Data Last Year Without Warrant, Report Says
The Federal Bureau of Investigation performed potentially millions of searches of American electronic data last year without a warrant, U.S. intelligence officials said, a revelation likely to stoke longstanding concerns in Congress about government surveillance and privacy.
The FBI and CIA have been caught breaking the law so many times they ought to be abolished.
Seriously it is so bad even the US AG should be vacant for a while. The President could have their own counsel for a while coordinating with private prosecutors on contract.
Also, more laws to enforce are better than more.
Amazing how this works.

Incidentally, I am reading on Gutenberg an old book about Scottish humour. It is hard going at times because of the dialect, but also contains a lot of laffs and truths. The current chapter discusses ‘village idiots’ and contains this gem about the medical profession:
There was a delicious anecdote in the chapter about the legal profession. A witness for the prosecution complained that the lawyer for the defence described him as a soldier. ‘I’m not a soldier, I’m an officer.’
Defence counsel agreed – ‘As he himself said, he’s no soldier…’.
These stories are from the 1800s in Scotland. The more things change … 🙂

“Election 2022: Anthony Albanese cornered by teen reporter over trans issue”
This is where politics is at?
The AEC has issued a warning to PHON over their latest video because it contains claims of voter fraud that the AEC deems to be false.
Yet last week the AEC’s QLD head was on ABC radio urging listeners to apply to the AEC for postal votes and not to use those provided by sitting members, even though the latter practice is lawful.
What does the AEC know that it is not telling us?
Re the Parly House ‘rape’ – Rabz says the security guards should be sacked:
That’s not how things work there. Readers may be shocked to hear that actual Members and Senators have been known to turn up in the small hours fissed as parts, and cannot be denied entry. Nor can their bumptious, obnoxious staff.
A security guard is much more likely to be sacked for denying someone with a pass entry, assuming the pass-holder is not brandishing an AK-47.
Since when was government interested in citizens privacy?
Do they know something we don’t?
Nearly 400 employees at the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) haven’t received a COVID-19 vaccine, according to data obtained exclusively by The Epoch Times.
A total of 382 workers at the CDC are unvaccinated, Roger Andoh, a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) officer at the agency, told The Epoch Times.
Another nine employees have just had one dose of the Pfizer or Moderna vaccines, meaning they also don’t qualify as fully vaccinated per the CDC’s guidelines.
Just been reading TheirABC’s report re the AEC complaining about Pauline Hanson’s cartoon about electoral fraud.
Pauline’s animators are over the target, for example:
‘False claims about deceased people voting.’ When I was a young gel in the ALP in the 1960s, an Elder of my branch told me that one of his jobs was to get out the dead vote on election day. It’s been happening as long as there have been electoral rolls. They may claim that it never happens nowadays, but they are lying.
‘A racist trope’ about COVID presumably refers to the fact that it came from China. Can’t say that, although it is true.
And, it is not racist. It is a comment on the Chinese government, not Chinese people generally. Indeed, those poor buggers in Wuhan and Shanghai and no doubt other places have suffered terribly.
The AEC has that delicate blend of incompetence and political correctness that characterises every institution that should be marked down as an enemy of good government.
“Sitting member last” and “reward and punish” sounds good until you are actually confronted by the ballot paper. One of the frustrations in QLD is that the six most egregious Senators are not up for reelection.
In the QLD Senate, Campbell will get my no.1 because he has learned a lot and will bash the cronies (and probably has a chance). But I also want to reward Matt Canavan for standing up to Littleproud and the beetroot traitors. (So an LNP guy gets a vote).
I like Stoker but believe she must be punished for Arndt, if it is safe to do so, it may not be. Machine creep and implementer in QLD of the Turnbull coup McGrath will not feature.
The risk with booting two of the LNP Senstors is that they have three places at risk, Labor only two and Greens none. If the Conservative minors don ‘t get up as often happens, Labor and Greens will score a seat at LNP expense.
So booting McGrath and Stoker demands that Campbell, and another new conservative (Clive?) must get up or Labor and Greens romp it in.
All this presupposes that Pauline holds on.
What do informed cats think about the following 12 below the line options, (admitting that I have no understanding of the preference consequences)?
Newman
Canavan
Palmer
Hanson
Christensen
Stoker? ?
Grainger LDP
Brewster UAP

Guruswami One Nation
A nobody yet to be chosen after further reading.
Wide Bay Reps is equally complex. O’Brien is not up to much but he did oppose the net zero Nats. The UAP woman is unknown but makes the right noises as does One Nation.

UAP. I think Clive is a hit in Wide Bay
One Nation

What was DARPA doing being part of the Get Trump Club?
Mollie Hemmingway at the Federalist is about the only place giving this any coverage.

Personally I’ll be putting Guruswami above the UAP candidates.

‘False claims about deceased people voting.’ When I was a young gel in the ALP in the 1960s, an Elder of my branch told me that one of his jobs was to get out the dead vote on election day. It’s been happening as long as there have been electoral rolls. They may claim that it never happens nowadays, but they are lying.
Didn’t Sheppardson or one of those inquiries uncover a whole swag of voters whose actual address was a cemetery?
I know when I was in NSW I started getting electoral mail for someone not in my house. I rang the NSWEC who didn’t care voter rolls are responsibility of AEC blah blah blah. The second call was to the AEC who were just as disinterested. Hunter at the Fed wasn’t marginal and neither was Upper Hunter but if this practise is in use in a marginal seat makes you wonder.
From the old thread.

Much of what the AEC comes up with might best be thought of as a legal fiction. The courts are probably not the best guardian of the voting process. Having said that I’m not sure vote fraud occurs on a large scale, although I’m not so naïve to believe it does not occur.
SA Plod are right in there picking up heavy criminals:
No comment required.
Bear, it doesn’t have to happen on a large scale. Less than a dozen marginal seats is all it takes.
Outside the micro parties in the various Upper Houses (that have been well documented and largely eliminated via legislation) preferences aren’t really an issue. Parties and candidates will often do irrational preference deals based on seat by seat considerations. On Election Day I usually take all HTV cards and ignore them all.

After you have made the selections that you prefer, add a couple more numbers in, and finish with the least obnoxious major party. That ensures that an electoral official with a writing stick and an axe to grind can’t put an extra number beside their preferred candidate, to pick up your vote, should your actual preferences exhaust.

See my response to Cassie. If you do not fill in every spot below the line, you leave an opportunity for a scamster to steal your vote, should your own preferences exhaust.
bons – you only need to vote for (i.e. number) six candidates in the senate, as it’s not a double dissolution election (when you’d need to vote for twelve).
It’s reprehensible that the ALPEC is broadcasting incorrect information about how to vote. If you look up the changes to the voting regulations introduced by that narcissistic buffoon Turnbuckle (which were hastily passed through both houses just before the 2016 election and are consequently riddled with errors*) there’s a paragraph that actually states you only need to number six candidates in a half senate election.
As for the lower house, if we had optional preferential voting (as per NSW elections), I’d cast a legitimate vote. But we don’t, so I won’t.
The person responsible for the majors last website is a friend of mine and she’s been toiling on it for well over a week. At least she’s not griping from the sidelines, a la myself.
*They forgot to identify the territories, so you have to vote for at least six, despite them only having two senators each.
joanna- agreed the AEC professional disinterest is a concern. I’m not sure what more they could do. Anything being done by parties would require an undercover police operation, not really an AEC matter at all.

I was thinking that about dick and balls votes in the lower house.
Fill in the squares with non-sensical numbers so the ballot paper can’t be “re-purposed”.

ABCcess has an epidemiologist basically asking “Are we prepared for people over 50 to die in very small numbers”….
https://www.abc.net.au/news/2022-04-30/qld-covid19-coronavirus-data-cases-tolerate-deaths-australia/101024646
Are we at a point where Australians tolerate people dying from COVID-19?
We seem to be at the point in this pandemic where people die every day from COVID-19 … and we’re OK with that.
Just last week, on average, 39 Australians died each day after catching the virus.
Compare that to the start of the pandemic when we were aghast at the thought of a single case, let alone a death.
The change is troubling to veteran epidemiologist Professor Mike Toole.
“We seem to have closed our eyes to the suffering and the deaths that are still occurring due to Omicron, so I think it’s bordering on irresponsible,” Professor Toole said.
It is not surprising that a medical professional who has dedicated a 50-year career to saving lives believes one death is one too many, but it doesn’t appear to be the way everyone thinks.
Such as the statistics..
https://www.health.gov.au/health-alerts/covid-19/case-numbers-and-statistics#cases-and-deaths-by-age-and-sex
The ABCcess report goes on to quote the scriptures and the prophet.
This is despite mask-wearing being one of the most effective ways of containing super-spreader events, according to epidemiologists like Saskia Popescu, who looked at the dropping of the mandate in despair.
You’re likely seeing a lot of “ffs” from public health folks at the news that TSA is dropping mask mandates on airplanes, trains, and public transportation. Here are some thoughts (while screaming into the void):

Abc discovers breaking news old people die more than young people.
The impact has been disproportionately felt by older people.
The federal health department has broken down the number of deaths in Australia by age group and it shows almost 83 per cent were aged 70 years or older.
ABC bemused why people who were deliberately lied to about the “stop the transmission/not carry covid/not get covid arent excited by more liars products. Products so good every state territory’s and the feds are cowering behind emergency legislation to make as mandatory as possible”
Remember last year when we so intently watched as the double-dose vaccination rate inched higher toward a particular target or milestone?
While over 95 per cent of people age over 16 have had two doses, only 70 per cent of the eligible population have had a booster shot.
You don’t see social media lit up with people showing off getting their boosters like they did when first and second doses were made available.

Twitter’s top censor donated $18,000 to Democrats before shutting down the New York Post’s Hunter Biden laptop revelations
This week, we’ve been introduced to a new breed of an old Stasi standby now in the United States: the intrusive political censor.
Once the province of crummy, furtive, little gray-faced men, as depicted in “The Lives of Others,” these modern day censors are now out and open as big social media stars, not even trying to hide their claims to being our political masters.
While Elon Musk, was decrying the censorship activities of Twitter’s top corporate attorney Vijaya Gadde, and the latter famously bawled about her company’s new owner, Joe Biden’s secretary of Homeland Security, Alejandro Mayorkas, was introducing us to think tank regular Nina Jankowicz who made a bizarre Disney-tune singing video on TikTok as his new “Disinformation Governance Board” chief.
Neither of these characters have a claim to impartiality in their zeal to censor others in the name of halting “disinformation.” Both are clearly Democrat party hacks and tools.
And is it just me, or do the smug, self-satisfied, expressions on the faces of these censors look remarkably alike?

This Scary Experiment Explains Two Years of COVID Hell
In case you were wondering why all views contrary to the Official Narrative have been canceled, it’s because of the Asch Conformity Experiment.
We have just gone through a nationwide, and actually a worldwide, Asch Conformity Experiment. As implied, the goal of the experiment was not to get to the truth. It was to get conformity. Only conformity is allowed.
Asch showed that people will actually believe things that they know to be false if they think everybody else believes those things. That is the point of the COVID nightmare experiment we just lived though. You must believe:
None of these makes sense. However, no dissent can be allowed because the Asch Conformity Experiment showed that if one person stands up to the narrative, it is easier for the second one to dissent. Then another and another stand up, and then control is lost.
That is why every dissenting voice must be silenced. If one person cries, “The Emperor has no clothes,” people will see the naked truth. And that can’t be allowed.
What is the Asch Experiment?
The Asch Experiment, conducted by Solomon Asch, found out that most people, when seeing a “consensus” of participants agreeing on something that is fairly obviously false, actually ends up agreeing with those false opinions just because everyone else seems to think so.
As Asch showed, if only one person stands up, the sheep aren’t sheep anymore.

Should we be alarmed by Biden’s new Disinformation Governance Board?
Ever since Elon Musk announced his intentions to buy Twitter, the reaction from liberals has been nothing short of a meltdown.
The primary cause of the outrage was Musk’s pledge to defend free speech:
Musk recently added a caveat to his assertion about free speech, saying it has to be within the realm of the law.
On Wednesday, Homeland Security secretary Alejandro Mayorkas testified to Congress that a Disinformation Governance Board had recently been set up.
It was also announced that Nina Jankowicz will head the Department of Homeland Security’s Disinformation Governance Board as executive director.
Jankowicz is a fellow at the Wilson Center, where she studied the “intersection of democracy and technology in Central and Eastern Europe.” She also wrote books such as How to Lose the Information War: Russia, Fake News, and the Future of Conflict and How to Be a Woman Online.
Obviously, there is a pattern here that her recruiters in the Biden administration liked.
The suppression and dismissal of the Hunter Biden laptop news story by the Biden campaign, the media, and Big Tech was one of the many ways the 2020 presidential election was rigged.
If that wasn’t enough, Jankowicz also promoted the mother of all disinformation: the Clinton campaign–created Trump-Russia dossier.
To summarize, her record is that she labels information as disinformation and vice versa.
There are only inferences to be drawn that Jankowicz is gullible or dishonest, or blatantly partisan, or perhaps a bit of all. These qualities should have disqualified her from being made head of a disinformation board.
The Biden administration no longer even cares to appear fair or moral.
Equally troubling is that Jankowicz seems to neither understand nor believe in freedom of expression as a right.

Thanks all for the responses.

If you are really worried about people adding numbers to your senate paper, draw a line top to bottom through the boxes for the parties you do not want to vote for.
If the “non-sensical” numbers are sequential, then your vote is valid. I’ve heard that you can number your vote any way you like, i.e., 10, 20, 30… instead of 1, 2, 3, etc. and the vote is still valid.
Old bloke – would make an interesting question at Senate Estimates to know what happens now. Never happened to me in over 30 years on the rolls.

Hunter for Red October Biden used alias of KGB spy from Tom Clancy novels: emails
Joe Biden wrote to his son Hunter and others close to him using the pseudonym “Peter Henderson” – a fictional Soviet Union-era spy in several Tom Clancy novels who infiltrated the US government, emails show.
The messages contained on Hunter’s abandoned laptop appear to indicate the then-VP started using the fictitious mole’s moniker in October 2016 while forwarding a YouTube video to his son Hunter, brother Jim, daughter-in-law Hallie, as well as his sister and longtime political strategist Valerie Biden Owens.
Biden sent the message using an email address with a username of “67stingray” — a clear reference to his beloved 1967 Corvette Stingray.
The name attached to Biden’s “67stingray” account at the time was “Peter Henderson” – which matches the name of the KGB spy in Clancy’s popular Jack Ryan series, according to online fan pages.
Henderson, whose codename was Cassius in Clancy’s realm, worked as a “minor Senate aide” in 1970 before becoming a Russian spy who was later caught by the CIA and turned into a double agent.

Biden ‘disinfo’ czar Nina Jankowicz ripped over cringeworthy Mary Poppins TikTok
The person tapped to head President Biden’s new Big Brother-like disinformation board drew fresh disdain Friday over her flippant attitude toward misinformation — and her own history of spreading it.
Nina Jankowicz’s ability to be taken seriously in her role on Homeland Security’s new Orwellian “Disinformation Governance Board” was thrown into question after a cringeworthy TikTok video resurfaced of her adapting the Mary Poppins tune “Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious” to be about fake news.
“Information laundering is really quite ferocious. It’s when a huckster takes some lies and makes them sound precocious, by saying them in Congress or a mainstream outlet, so disinformation’s origins are slightly less atrocious,” Jankowicz sang in the Feb. 2021 video.
“When Rudy Giuliani shared bad intel from Ukraine. Or when TikTok influencers say COVID can’t cause pain. They’re laundering disinfo and we really should take note. And not support their lies with our wallet, voice or vote,” she continued.
The bizarre rendition was shared widely online as critics raised doubts of her ability to target real disinformation — and questioned how she even landed the job given her previous dubious claims about the veracity of The Post’s reporting on Hunter Biden’s laptop.
John Talks
“Uh…”
Nancy Pelosi and the faultless Democrats and why questioning her cannot be logical.

Judge. The PML is impressive stuff, thanks.
For the Senate though I think I’ll go below the line only because I think Canavan deserves a run.
Thanks P. Interesting, no prosecutions, token efforts to prevent multiple votes and Team America Hans Blix style stern letters to repeat offenders… I’d be more interested in where these votes were cast and their potential to tip a race to one side but they don’t seem that interested in going there.
This echoed events uncovered by the Shepherdson Inquiry in Queensland. ALP member Karen Ehrmann ultimately served prison time for electoral fraud, and she maintained that she was merely the ‘patsy’ and that many others in her party were guilty of the same activities during the late 80s and early 90s.
This from Caldron Pool is what I thought. The Inquiry report was fairly boring but it was amazing how many future ministers in Beattie/Bligh’s government were receiving honourable mentions including a grub they gave a state funeral to. Also one ex-Townsville mayor. One scapegoat got jailed, go figure.
Would you believe it, The Times is relying on Ukrainian sources to revive the Ghost of Kiev hoax once more:
All the shit over the last decade about Russian disinfo, troll farms, etc. was projection; the Western alphabet agencies, government departments, Big Tech, and the MSM are by far the largest disinfo org out there.

Boris Becker sentenced to 2.5 years jail.

But Becker was a prime case of sperm rape.

Later that evening, Miss Ermakova claims, she and Becker had sex in a broom cupboard at the hotel’s fashionable Japanese restaurant.
But despite the baby’s resemblance to Becker, the three-times Wimbledon champion denied he was the father. His lawyers suggested that Miss Ermakova had inseminated herself with his sperm after oral sex – a deception the German newspaper Bild Zeitung claimed was part of a blackmail plot devised by the Russian mafia.

In a world gone mad, elites keep peddling untruths
It begins with the most basic building blocks of our world.
What is the first thing everybody knows about? I’d say it is probably whether they are a boy or a girl. What is the first thing everybody asks of new parents? “A boy or a girl?” But then we entered into the age of insanity.
Weirdo academics who would once have been confined to their studies at Berkeley (if not some other institution) decided boys and girls didn’t exist. They claimed that sex was in fact a “social construct” or a matter of “performance.” Before the age of social media that claim wouldn’t have leaked out of the confines of an asylum. But in the age of Twitter it got pumped out everywhere.
Many of the deranging claims of our era are far more important. It is only three years since the New York Times decided to publish a project which sought to reframe the founding date of America. No more 1776. Everything you were taught in school was wrong. From now on, the authors of the project claimed, the founding date of America should be seen to be 1619. The date the first slaves arrived in America. Because then all of American history could be seen through the sole, defining lens of slavery.
This is a deranging claim in itself. At the time that the first slaves arrived in America every civilization in the world still practiced slavery. There was nothing unique about America. But once the claims of activist non-historians like the 1619 project are spun through social media they enter a new realm entirely.
For history is all about context. And social media has no context because it has no history.
Last week it was Russians will go to heaven in the event of a nuclear war but not her enemies.
No. Not all.

McConnell’s ‘Exhilarating’ Insurrection
When it comes to January 6, there are no coincidences.
A dirty little secret about January 6—one of many—is that Democrats and establishment Republicans, not Trump supporters, wanted to shut down the official proceedings of that day.
Just as the first wave of protesters breached the building shortly after 2 p.m., congressional Republicans were poised to present evidence of rampant voting fraud in the 2020 presidential election. Ten incumbent and four newly-elected Republican senators planned to work with their House colleagues to demand the formation of an audit commission to investigate election “irregularities” in the 2020 election. Absent an audit, the group of senators, including Ted Cruz (R-Texas) and Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) pledged to reject the Electoral College results from the disputed states.
The Hail Mary effort was doomed to fail; yet the American people would have heard hours of debate related to provable election fraud over the course of the day.
And no one opposed the effort more than ex-Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.).
Further—and more importantly—why did McConnell’s office fail to protect the Capitol on January 6?
His Sergeant at Arms at the time served on the U.S. Capitol police board, a four-man body that manages security at the sprawling Capitol complex.
McConnell, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), and D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser—the three leaders responsible for protecting the Capitol on January 6—still have not explained their failure to do so. Not only did McConnell’s top law enforcement officials purportedly overlook the potential for violence on January 6, he denied requests for more officers days before and delayed sending guardsmen to Capitol Hill that afternoon.
And it will be nearly impossible to find out why: Stegner, along with Irving and Sund, all resigned on January 7, 2021.
Boris Becker should have popped smoke and ghosted.
He should have been willing to face execution or life imprisonment, moved to a country with a good lifestyle and curiously uncooperative court and diplomatic system.

Please. I take it for granted that pollies lie but this rubbish that the Russians are dangerous because they play by their own rules while the Americans don’t is puerile. Two months ago, sovereign nations could strike military agreements with whoever they pleased; this week, no, no, sovereign nations seeking agreements with our enemies is a threat to the ‘rules-based order’.
At least her heart was in the right place.
Please show where America literally invaded a country (in order to annex parts of it) without some kind of legal process, no matter how daft.

Let me grant you, just for the sake of argument, that the Russians have not invoked any kind of legal process, do you think that distinction matters? The other thing that is curious about this argument is the addition of the qualifier ‘in order to annex part of it’ because no one can with a straight face deny the the US has invaded other countries even if they’ve provided themselves with the cover of some legal process, however daft.
