From Citizens to Suspects


}

(Meme by me @richq11)



One thing that’s become abundantly clear, even to me, is the transition of the American people from a nation of free citizens into a nation of subjects bowing to the whims of a ruling elite both in and outside of government who view the people first as adversaries and now as suspects. This is clearly evinced by the 2020 election where the will of the people and consent of the governed has been subverted. America is now Amerika.


In an effort to conceal the criminality of the rampant voter fraud in key states, government agencies have joined with major corporations, particularly, but not limited to, the tech giants in Silicon Valley to silence dissent and/or anyone bold enough to question the results. This has also led to the Friday, August 13th (how appropriate) edict set forth by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) that effectively criminalizes any criticism of the illegitimate government, a tactic used by tyrants and dictators throughout history.

This is how the totalitarian oligarchs protect themselves.The Covid scamdemic has provided a perfect opportunity for elitist globalist groups such as the World Economic Forum (WEF) the Gates Foundation -- along with its subsidiaries such as GAVI etc. -- and many others to flex their muscles and impose their perverse worldview upon mankind, backed by the awesome power of the US government. This happened while the American people sat idly by and allowed it to happen. At some point we’ve changed from a nation of rugged individualists willing to sacrifice everything for freedom to a brainwashed collective of whimpering sissies willing to trade all of our God-given rights for the illusion of safety.


The DHS edicts begin, predictably, with a warning fabricated to elicit fear: “The Secretary of Homeland Security has issued a new National Terrorism Advisory System (NTAS) Bulletin regarding the current heightened threat environment across the United States. The Homeland continues to face a diverse and challenging threat environment leading up to and following the 20th Anniversary of the September 11, 2001 attacks as well religious holidays we assess could serve as a catalyst for acts of targeted violence. These threats include those posed by domestic terrorists, individuals and groups engaged in grievance-based violence, and those inspired or motivated by foreign terrorists and other malign foreign influences. These actors are increasingly exploiting online forums to influence and spread violent extremist narratives and promote violent activity. Such threats are also exacerbated by impacts of the ongoing global pandemic, including grievances over public health safety measures and perceived government restrictions."

They completely -- and conveniently -- overlook the fact that the only substantive violence in the past several years has been perpetrated by groups such as Antifa and BLM. The “domestic terrorists” spoken of are patriots who understandably are upset over the draconian “pandemic” response that has effectively destroyed a booming economy that cost many of them their jobs. The only violence at the Jan 6 demonstration was perpetrated by the Capitol Police and FBI infiltrators, some of which cost American lives while others are still incarcerated awaiting a kangaroo court. There is no room in Amerika for anyone bold enough to question the authority or the official narrative of “The Party.”


The upshot of the DHS edicts is that anyone questioning or criticizing government policies or the Covid narrative will be subject to criminal penalties. I remind the reader that all of this is inherently unconstitutional as one of the founding principles of the country is to criticize the government and seek “redress of grievances.” (Amendment 1) In the section of the bulletin entitled “Additional Details,” although troubling in its entirety, has three subsections that are especially troubling mainly because they involve issues of free speech and the use of the internet:


  • Through the remainder of 2021, racially- or ethnically-motivated violent extremists (RMVEs) and anti-government/anti-authority violent extremists will remain a national threat priority for the United States. These extremists may seek to exploit the emergence of COVID-19 variants by viewing the potential re-establishment of public health restrictions across the United States as a rationale to conduct attacks. Pandemic-related stressors have contributed to increased societal strains and tensions, driving several plots by domestic violent extremists, and they may contribute to more violence this year.


  • Violent extremists may use particular messaging platforms or techniques to obscure operational indicators that provide specific warning of a pending act of violence.



  • Law enforcement have expressed concerns that the broader sharing of false narratives and conspiracy theories will gain traction in mainstream environments, resulting in individuals or small groups embracing violent tactics to achieve their desired objectives. With a diverse array of threats, DHS is concerned that increased outbreaks of violence in some locations, as well as targeted attacks against law enforcement, may strain local resources.

Although they allude to “foreign actors,” the main focus of the bulletin centers on “domestic terrorists” and we all know who that means. The language used in the bulletin is also troubling. In addition to being labeled “domestic terrorists,” anyone criticizing the government’s narrative is also referred to as a “Domestic Violent Extremist” whether they’ve behaved violently or not. This is language crafted to demonize segments of the population unfairly painting them in the worst possible light. In other words this is the work of propagandists, characterized by Aldous Huxley: “The propagandists’ purpose is to make one set of people forget that other sets of people are human,” a tactic that worked splendidly in Nazi Germany.


Also notice the wording of the introduction where it refers to “perceived” government restrictions. Apparently the lockdowns and mask mandates were only perceptions on our part, as are the forced vaccinations of federal employees. I don’t know about you but I’m relieved to know that all of the restrictions were just figments of my imagination.


Equally disturbing is this statement: “These extremists may seek to exploit the emergence of COVID-19 variants by viewing the potential re-establishment of public health restrictions across the United States as a rationale to conduct attacks.” I believe they’ve just tipped their hand. “Potential,” in this context, is certainly equivalent to “upcoming,” otherwise why include it. Taken in its entirety this bulletin tells us almost exactly what our rulers have in store for us -- at least those of us with the courage to confront them.


After demonizing over half of the population the DHS tells us how they will respond while also encouraging people to report any “suspicious activity”: “DHS will continue to identify and evaluate calls for violence, including online activity associated with the spread of disinformation, conspiracy theories, and false narratives, by known or suspected threat actors and provide updated information, as necessary.” [op.cit] In other words they will work with their partners in Silicon Valley to monitor any and all electronic transmissions, whether phone, social media, or any other platform. Now you know why the government refuses to go after Facebook, Twitter, et.al. for violating people’s privacy, selling their data, or censoring them on social media -- they’re all in cahoots.


“There are also continued, non-specific calls for violence on multiple online platforms associated with DVE ideologies or conspiracy theories on perceived election fraud and alleged reinstatement, and responses to anticipated restrictions relating to the increasing COVID cases.” [op.cit] I’m curious to know what non-specific calls for violence are. I can only assume that they are anything questioning the official narrative, both in the election fraud issue or the Covid response. I’m curious to see evidence so if anyone has seen it please forward it in the comments, I’ve seen nothing of the sort.


A part of this is to force people to take the vaccines, the elites believing that after they’re vaccinated, the unwashed masses will have no recourse but to shut up and comply with whatever government agencies like the DHS tell them to do. America is being divided into the compliant (vaxxed) and the “others,” people who will be separated from society and punished, either by isolation in “quarantine camps” or other forms of imprisonment. To accomplish this new surveillance technologies will be necessary.


New Technologies and the Surveillance State


None of the DHS plan would be possible without a sophisticated surveillance system and the imposition of a police state to carry out their edicts -- along with a mass media focused more on propaganda than reporting the truth. While pushing perpetual wars around the globe and enslaving their own people at the same time, better and better surveillance technology is always on the horizon making it easier for the ruling elites to spy on everyone… citizens, allies, and enemies all at the same time.


As I’ve written before the surveillance network is nothing new but dates back to Eschelon in the 1970s and 80s, a system of antennas that intercepted all electronic transmissions attached to a computer system designed to focus on keywords such as “bomb.” Since then surveillance systems have become more and more sophisticated, particularly with the advent of the internet. One of the key relationships in the evolving surveillance/security network is between Google and Darpa.


“In 2010, Google CEO Eric Schmidt created Google Ideas. In typical Silicon Valley newspeak, Ideas was marketed as a “think/do tank to research issues at the intersection of technology and geopolitics.“ Astute readers know this “think/do” formula well – entities like the Council on Foreign Relations or World Economic Forum draft policy papers (think) and three-letter agencies carry them out (do). And again, in typical Silicon Valley fashion, Google wanted to streamline this process – bring everything in-house and remake the world in their own image.”

This was during the Obama years, a time where the mass media became a willing accomplice to the government perfidy. “After Barack H Obama was successfully installed in office, something began to shift. While the U.S. media had always been biased, manipulative and dishonest, there was something more that changed after the installation of The One, The Lightbringer…” To the already biased media Obama could do no wrong. They spent eight years running cover for his illegal and unconstitutional shenanigans, particularly when it came to surveillance. Some might remember that it was during the Obama years that US intelligence agencies were caught spying on our allies such as Angela Merkel of Germany.


“The shift coincided with the merge between the intelligence apparatus and the new platforms of social media. The speed of the shift aligned with the speed of technology that was driving communication. Together the intelligence apparatus, the customary U.S. media and Big Tech began testing how far and how fast they could control the outlook of Americans. Few people were paying attention to it…. there were some… but not many, and most of those who did notice were not connecting the dots to the actual tests.”


“The shift in attack direction from media (social and traditional) at the time was alarming. No longer was the media trying to excuse or justify the transparently guilty of accountability; starting around 2011 & 2012, what the new-era attack started to do was falsely accuse the transparently innocent. Now, fast forward through the next decade and what does this current DHS terrorism bulletin do? It expands the targeting of the transparently innocent. Can you see how the cancer cells of beta-test accusations against the transparently innocent have metastasized and weaponized now against all of us.”

Caught up in this web, a veritable war against whistleblowers, were people like Julian Assange and numerous whistleblowers such as Edward Snowden, Dennis Montgomery, Bill Binney and many others. Now this net is being cast wide enough to catch half of the country -- anyone who questions or criticizes the corrupt government and their partners in the private sector. This one unconstitutional edict by a three-letter agency that has no right to make laws -- not the legislature -- will essentially take any and all power away from the people and center it in a totalitarian government empowered to exert its will over the citizens of the country. This could not happen, or be enforced, without the complicity of the mainstream media and the tech giants of Silicon Valley, many of whom are already in bed with the CCP. Under the Biden administration the governing model of Communist China will be adopted by Amerika including a social credit system based on Covid vaccination compliance.


The surveillance technologies of the burgeoning police state keep growing in both size and scope, the current focus being on the Pegasus system developed by an Israeli company founded by Epstein pal Ehud Barak, former Israeli prime minister. “One of the organizations, The Washington Post, said the Pegasus spyware licensed by Israel-based NSO Group also was used to target phones belonging to two women close to Jamal Khashoggi, a Post columnist murdered at a Saudi consulate in Turkey in 2018.”


“Pegasus is a very advanced malware that infects iOS and Android devices to allow operators of the spyware to copy messages, photos, calls and other data, including secretly activate microphones and cameras. Based on the investigation, the leak contains a list of 50,000 phone numbers that have been identified as those of people of interest by clients of NSO since 2016. The list includes many close family members of one country’s ruler, suggesting he might have instructed the country’s intelligence agencies to explore the possibility of tracking and spying on their own relatives.”

When it comes to security, cybersecurity in particular, the Israelis demonstrate an almost superhuman determination. Their army -- the Israeli Defense Force or IDF -- has Unit 8200 arguably the best cyber unit in the world. While the world is focused on Pegasus the Israeis have come up with Toka, described as being even worse than Pegasus. This will give the intelligence agencies an even more sophisticated weapon with which they can surveil their own people.


“Toka was launched in 2018 with the explicit purpose of selling a ‘tailored ecosystem of cyber capabilities and software products for governmental, law enforcement, and security agencies.’ According to a profile of the company published in Forbes shortly after it launched, Toka advertised itself as ‘a one-stop hacking shop for governments that require extra capability to fight terrorists and other threats to national security in the digital domain.’”


“Today, Toka’s software suite claims to offer its customers in law enforcement, government and intelligence the ability to obtain ‘targeted intelligence’ and to conduct forensic investigations’ as well as ‘covert operations.’ In addition, Toka offers governments its “Cyber Designers” service, which provides ‘agencies with the full-spectrum strategies, customized projects and technologies needed to keep critical infrastructure, the digital landscape and government institutions secure and durable.’”

With this powerful spying tool in its arsenal agencies such as the NSA will be able to spy on suspected “threats” with ease. Moreover, Google’s relationship with the three-letter agencies has only become strengthened over the years and has evolved as well.


"But all that experience of data mining and overthrowing Middle Eastern nations wasn’t just thrown out. Rather, Jigsaw repurposed its internal psychological operations program (code-named Operation Abdullah) to instead target “right-wing conspiracy theorists,” as revealed by privacy researcher Rob Braxman. Using a technique known as the redirect method, Jigsaw attempts to populate outbound links to dissuade potential thought-criminals from looking at wrongthink."


Make no mistake – the redirect method is about more than manipulation of search engine results. It’s one thing to manipulate the content of searches based on query strings, but to target the psychology of the searcher themselves requires an accurate psychological profile of the person doing the searching.

This is all one gigantic psyop designed to force conformity on the American people. If you refuse to embrace your enslavement, you will be separated from society and punished.

Conclusion


Anyone who still believes that any of this is an issue of left vs right is in for a rude awakening. This is about power and control, not ideology, a notion lost in the shuffle for decades. Back during the “culture wars” of the 1960s and 70s “liberals” and non-liberals pretty much agreed on the desired outcome -- freedom. The main point of contention was on how to get there.


At the same time a counterculture revolution by groups such as the Weather Underground, SDS, and SNCC attempted to usurp the Civil Rights movement, leading to the death of people like MLK. These movements were infiltrated by government agents (FBI, CIA) in what became known as COINTELPRO, co-opting the leadership of these groups -- people like Bill and Hillary Clinton, self-interested people out for personal gain. The altruism of the 60s was gone.


Now this counterculture movement is represented by radical professors in most of the country’s elite universities, many of them funded by the CCP, Silicon Valley, DARPA, In-Q-Tel, and their foot soldiers in Antifa and BLM, neither of the latter being grassroots organizations but elitists. This is the driving force behind political progressivism. However this is merely an illusion fomented by the ruling elite in their attempt to impose a totalitarian regime.


The useful idiots on both sides of the political spectrum will ultimately lose, all being just actors in this bizarre political Kabuki theater, and likely suffer the same fate as the supporters of Mao’s “Glorious Revolution.” When they are no longer useful they will be disposed of, after all, anyone willing to sell out their own country cannot be trusted.


These cultural “revolutions” inevitably begin in the universities and as history has amply proven it’s the professors who get rounded up first and subsequently executed. No totalitarian regime can countenance the possibility of dissent. This bulletin from the DHS is evidence that the US is becoming more totalitarian by the day. If people don’t start making some noise all of our freedoms will be lost, perhaps forever. This announcement by the DHS, if unchallenged, will give the government complete power over the governed transforming us from citizens to suspects. In the meanwhile the ruling elites will continue to fan the flames of division because it serves their purpose.


This is the culmination of the Patriot Act and NDAA, a final act of betrayal (until the next one). The DHS edict will be used to strip away whatever freedom US citizens have left, including but not limited to freedom of speech. Logically, the next step will be the confiscation of guns which will be parsed as ‘an effort to prevent the spread of violence.’ If successful, the greatest experiment in representative government the world has ever known will be over, replaced by neo-feudalism and the tyranny of technocratic oligarchs. If we don’t all stand up now, tomorrow will be too late. In the prophetic words of Benjamin Franklin: “If we don’t all hang together, we’ll all hang separately.”
