The COVID Narratives Continue to Crumble

Numerous businesses were destroyed. Millions of school children suffered developmental delays based on COVID lies conjured up by our public health "experts" and then parroted by our politicians and "news" reporters. And now Democrats, as a group, don't care about getting to the bottom of this mass-fraud. Need I add that I don't support Trump? Both major political parties and their respective corporate media allies are hopelessly corrupt.

Are They Spying on You Through Your Phone?

I've heard several people tell me that they were not using their phone, but it was in the room while they were discussing something with another person (in person). Then, I have been told by others, they started getting advertisements relevant to that in-person conversation. I have no insight into this. I don't know based on any personal information whether this is true or even possible. Then along came this interview off of Erik Prince. His background includes the following according to Wikipedia: American businessman, former U.S. Navy SEAL officer, and the founder of the private military company Blackwater. He served as Blackwater's CEO until 2009 and as its chairman until its sale to a group of investors in 2010. Prince heads the private equity firm Frontier Resource Group and was chairman of the Hong Kong-listed Frontier Services Group until 2021.

Tonight I heard this excerpt from Prince's conversation with Tucker Carlson. At the time I first heard the interview I didn't know who Prince was. I looked him up and then I noticed the comment by Elon Musk following the Tweet-video of Prince. Holy Shit.

We've been doing a study, following our device, a Google mobile services phone, or iPhone, and at about 3am, we're seeing a spike of data leaving the phone - about 50MB.

That is basically that phone dialing home to the mothership, exporting all of Pillow talk, whatever.

Zuckerberg paid $20B for WhatsApp - why?

Because every everything that goes through there is diced, and analyzed, and used to sell advertising to that customer.

If you're not paying for something, you aren't the customer, you're the product."

Meanwhile, in Australia, a “News” Outlet Applauds Censorship

Dr. Jay Bhattacharya, a plaintiff in the case of Murthy v Missouri (pending before the U.S. Supreme Court), a man who was censored by a highly coordinated group of organizations financed and instigated by the U.S. Government, notices a purported news organization applauding censorship (of X, run by Elon Musk):

Someone Please Explain These Developments on FISA and the Non-Stop Funding of Wars

Matt Taibbi is flummoxed. So am I. Any curious person would be. Matt tries to explain what happened in he recent article: "A Saturday Massacre in CongressOn a Saturday to mark and remember, congress funds two wars and hands the intelligence agencies sweeping new surveillance power, getting nothing in return."

Please. Someone tell me who is moving the levers of power in DC and how?  Matt Taibbi offers this:

Mike Johnson is now Winston Churchill. All he had to do was give the NSA unlimited spying power, overrule constituents about funding two wars, and support allowing government to block a platform used by 60 million Americans.

In return he got: nothing. No immigration reform, no articulation of benchmarks or a plan for success in Ukraine, no accounting for past spending, no insistence on warrants to spy on Americans, no concession that FISA can only be reauthorized by Congress, no claw-back of a major new “Everybody is a Spy” surveillance ask. Johnson traded his starting lineup for the proverbial bag of balls.

History will look back at a moment below from April 12th, just before the House passed FISA, and wonder about a last comment from Johnson. The Speaker talks about being originally horrified by the “terrible abuses, hundreds of thousands of abuses” of FISA by the FBI.

But “then when I became Speaker, I went to the [secure briefing room] and got a confidential briefing” from intelligence officials, and heard “sort of the other perspective on that.” It “gave him a different perspective.”

Regarding FISA, Reason explains what was at stake in an article titled "Revised Section 702 Surveillance Authority Poses More Danger Than EverNew language could make almost anybody with access to a WiFi router help the government snoop."
If this became law, millions of American small business owners would have a legal obligation to hand over data that runs through their equipment," caution former Rep. Bob Goodlatte (R–Va.) and former Sen. Mark Udall (D–Colo.), both now with the Project for Privacy and Surveillance Accountability. "And when they're done with doing their part in mass surveillance, these small businesses would then be placed under a gag order to hide their activities from their customers."

It seems like Glenn Greenwald is thinking more bad things are happening than he is willing to articulate at this time. Consider this part of Glenn's monologue: [More . . . ]
