The Intelligence Branch and Big Tech Say The Quiet Part Out Loud – Facebook, Twitter, Microsoft, Google and Big Tech Writ Large Will Monitor Platforms and Report Extremist Content to FIVE EYES Intelligence Network


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on July 26, 2021 | Sundance | 131 Comments

This is a rather bold public admission.  They are saying the quiet part out loud and absolutely confirming what we have been writing about in our Fourth Branch of Government series.   Remember, the Fourth Branch is only possible because of a Public-Private partnership with the intelligence apparatus.

Today, the biggest names in Big Tech announce they have partnered with the Five Eyes intelligence network, ultimately controlled by the NSA, to: (1) monitor all activity in their platforms; (2) identify extremist content; (3) look for expressions of Domestic Violent Extremism (DVE); and then, (4) put the content details into a database where the Five Eyes intelligence agencies (U.K., U.S., Australia, Canada, New Zealand) can access it.

Facebook, Twitter, Google and Microsoft are all partnering with the intelligence apparatus.  I can’t believe they admit this sentence in the release (emphasis mine):

[…] “The Group will use lists from intelligence-sharing group Five Eyes adding URLs and PDFs from more groups, including the Proud Boys, the Three Percenters and neo-Nazis.”

Think about that sentence structure very carefully.  They are “adding to” the pre-existing list…. admitting the group (aka Big Tech) already have access to the the intelligence-sharing database… and also admitting there is a pre-existing list created by the Five Eyes consortium.

Obviously, who and what is defined as “extremist content” will be determined by the Big Tech insiders themselves.  This provides a gateway, another plausible deniability aspect, to cover the Intelligence Branch from any oversight.

When the Intelligence Branch within government wants to conduct surveillance and monitor American citizens, they run up against problems due to the Constitution of the United States.   They get around those legal limitations by sub-contracting the intelligence gathering, the actual data-mining, and allowing outside parties (contractors) to have access to the central database.

The government cannot conduct electronic searches (4th amendment issue) without a warrent; however, private individuals can search and report back as long as they have access.  What is being admitted today is exactly that pre-existing partnership.  The difference today is that Big Tech will flag the content from within their platforms, and now a secondary database filled with the extracted information will be provided openly for the Intelligence Branch to exploit.

The volume of metadata captured by the NSA has always been a problem because of the filters needed to make the targeting useful.  There is a lot of noise in collecting all data that makes the parts you really want to identify more difficult to capture.  This new admission puts a new massive filtration system in the metadata that circumvents any privacy protections for individuals.

Previously, the Intelligence Branch worked around the constitutional and unlawful search issue by using resources that were not in the United States.  A domestic U.S. agency, working on behalf of the U.S. government, cannot listen on your calls without a warrant.  However, if the U.S. agency sub-contracts to say a Canadian group, or foreign ally, the privacy invasion is no longer legally restricted by U.S. law.

What is being announced today is an alarming admission of a prior relationship along with open intent to define their domestic political opposition as extremists.

July 26 (Reuters) – A counterterrorism organization formed by some of the biggest U.S. tech companies including Facebook (FB.O) and Microsoft (MSFT.O) is significantly expanding the types of extremist content shared between firms in a key database, aiming to crack down on material from white supremacists and far-right militias, the group told Reuters.

Until now, the Global Internet Forum to Counter Terrorism’s (GIFCT) database has focused on videos and images from terrorist groups on a United Nations list and so has largely consisted of content from Islamist extremist organizations such as Islamic State, al Qaeda and the Taliban.

Over the next few months, the group will add attacker manifestos – often shared by sympathizers after white supremacist violence – and other publications and links flagged by U.N. initiative Tech Against Terrorism. It will use lists from intelligence-sharing group Five Eyes, adding URLs and PDFs from more groups, including the Proud Boys, the Three Percenters and neo-Nazis.

The firms, which include Twitter (TWTR.N) and Alphabet Inc’s (GOOGL.O) YouTube, share “hashes,” unique numerical representations of original pieces of content that have been removed from their services. Other platforms use these to identify the same content on their own sites in order to review or remove it. (read more)

.

All is not lost.  There is a way to stop the Intelligence Branch, but it requires some outside-the-box thinking and reliance on the Constitution as a tool to radically change one element within government.  We will be covering this in the near future.

In the interim, we must remain focused on the three tiers that we need for success.

♦ Tier One is “tactical civics” at a local level.  Engaged and active citizen participation at the community, city, town and hamlet level of society.  This is what might be described as grassroots level.  School Board level; City Council level; County Commissioner level.

♦ Tier Two is “extreme federalism” at a state level.  Engaged and active citizen participation through your State House and State Senate representative.  This is state level assembly and action demands upon the House, Senate and State Governor.

♦ Tier Three the challenge of “federal offices” on a national level.  This is where CTH will present an action that can be taken way upstream that allows the first two tiers to take control over federal offices.   This is where we throw the One Ring into the fire of Mordor.

I am confident that ultimately We The People will win. Details will come soon; in the interim, tactical civics and extreme federalism are doable right now, in this next election cycle.

New York City Mayor Bill De Blasio Announces All NYC Employees Must Get Vaccination, Compulsory Vaccinations for 340,000 Workers


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on July 26, 2021 | Sundance | 347 Comments

And so it begins….  New York City Mayor Bill De Blasio has announced the forced vaccination of all 340,000 municipal employees effective September 13, 2021.  Mandatory vaccinations for a virus with over a 99% survival rate?  This is not about a virus, this is about control.

New York – […] “This is about our recovery. This is about what we need to do to bring back New York City. This is about keeping people safe,” de Blasio said during a press conference. He added, “September is the pivot point of the recovery.”

The vaccine mandate will begin sooner for other city workers. The mayor previously announced a similar requirement, with an August 2 deadline, for medical workers employed by city health clinics or public hospitals.

Additionally, 45,000 government employees that work in residential and congregate settings, such as nursing homes, will have until August 16 to comply. August 2 also marks the reinforcement of a mask mandate for unvaccinated city government employees.

“If you are unvaccinated and you are a city employee, beginning on Monday you must either wear a mask indoors at your worksite at all times or, if you would prefer not to, you have to immediately go get vaccinated,” de Blasio said.

An analysis completed by The City shows that the vaccination rates for many city agencies are lagging behind New York City’s general adult population. Reportedly, only 43 percent of the members of the NYPD are vaccinated and 51 percent of FDNY firefighters. The Department of Corrections, at 42 percent, has a lower rate than both of those departments.

Last week, de Blasio made his support for vaccine mandates clear and urged private employers to implement them for their own employees, saying the rule will “get more people vaccinated.”

“We have reached the limits of a purely voluntary system. It’s time for more mandates, different kinds, different places, different approaches,” de Blasio said in an interview with WNYC Friday.

The mayor reiterated that tone during today’s press conference, telling private employers to “go as far as you can go right now.”

“Each private sector employer needs to do what they believe is right. But I would strongly urge a vaccination mandate whenever possible or as close to it as possible. At minimum, requiring all of your employees to get vaccinated or to do weekly testing,” he said. (read more)

Joe Biden’s Word Salad

Enjoy Another Serving Of Joe Biden’s Word Salad

The tosser* in chief served up a big bowl of word salad for everyone to enjoy at his CNN town hall recently.

We were treated to 40 seconds of rambling nonsense as he tried to answer a question about when children under 12 should be vaccinated. That idea is abhorrent in its own right as science proves children do not need to be jabbed with the experiment vaccine.  But I digress.

Biden clearly lost his train of thought and struggled with the question:

“And the question is whether or not we should be in a position where you are — why can’t the — the — the experts say, ‘We know that this virus is, in fact — it’s going to be’ — or, excuse me — ‘We know why all the drugs approved are not temporarily approved, but permanently approved.’ That’s underway too. I expect that to occur quickly,” Biden said, according to a White House transcript.

Even die hard, brainwashed Biden “supporters” had trouble justifying Biden’s answer.

The latest narrative trying to explain away Biden’s gaffes and mumbling replies is “Biden stuttered when he was a child.”

Are we are supposed to feel sorry for him and not criticize his policies because he had a stutter as a child. That is a recent narrative and does not explain the years of miss speaking, racist remarks and name calling in Biden’s long political history.

Biden not only lost his train of thought, he turned it into an absolute train wreck as he continued to ramble about inflation during the highly structured CNN town hall:

“No, look, here’s the deal: Moody’s, today, went out — a Wall Street firm, not some liberal think tank — said if we passed the other two things I’m trying to get done, we will, in fact, reduce inflation. Reduce inflation.

Reduce inflation,” Biden said. “Reduce inflation — because we’re going to be providing good opportunities and jobs for people who, in fact, are going to be reinvesting that money back into all the things we’re talking about, driving down prices, not raising prices.”

Yeah. Have you noticed prices going up? Or going Down?

Yup, that’s what we thought.

We think the Biden “team” will think twice about scheduling another town hall anytime soon.

Should Politicians Who Wear Masks be Impeached as Devious or Incompetent?


Armstrong Economics Blog/Gov’t Incompetence Re-Posted Jul 26, 2021 by Martin Armstrong

The fact that we have politicians appearing in masks raises a serious question. Either they are stupid and have been acting on FAKE news, which means they are incompetent to manage a bubblegum machine no less the country, or they are deliberately engaging in propaganda. If we answer that question, in both cases it suggests that they should NOT be in office and IMPEACHED.

If we answer that question, in both cases it suggests that they should NOT be in office and IMPEACHED.Video Player00:1500:40

Not only did Fauci state the truth until someone told him to impose social distancing and masks, but now even Dr. Colin Axon in Britain is warning some cloth masks have gaps that are invisible to the naked eye but are 500,000 times the size of viral Covid particles.

All the studies have shown that masks are “USELESS” and are nothing more than comfort toys, a blanket an infant clings to. There is absolutely NO evidence that a mask prevents any illness. In Asia, if someone was sick they would wear the mask to prevent them from infecting others. But they never viewed masks as a means to prevent someone from getting sick.

Terrorizing of the population and lockdowns have not just raised suicide rates, the death rate from drug overdoses has also soared 29%. Indeed, there’s little doubt that this manufactured pandemic has been devastating on many children and adolescents. The disruption of routines, loss of sports, careers, reduced contact with friends, concerns over getting ill, and financial turmoil suffered by many families have all been exacerbating a toll on mental health. Those in power ignore the “collateral damage” and are only concerned about their agenda. If they really cared about society, this would include the devastating cost on the youth.

Unrestricted Mass Border Invasion Continues, REPORT: 1 Million Illegal Entries in June, With 20,000 in Rio Grand Valley Sector Last Week Alone


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on July 25, 2021 | Sundance | 31 Comments

The head for the Rio Grand Valle(RGV) sector of the U.S. Border Patrol, Brian Hastings, sent an alarming tweet message earlier today.

According to Hastings: “It’s the hottest part of the summer and apprehensions are skyrocketing! USBP Apprehensions surpassed the 1-million milestone in June. NOW- this week alone – #RGV has apprehended more than 20K illegally present migrants.”

One million illegal aliens walk into the country while Joe Biden claims to be concerned about the spread of COVID-19?

Think about it….

The Other Side of the COVID Vaccination Argument, Video


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on July 25, 2021 | Sundance | 205 Comments

There is a lot of incoming information from government and the private sector promoting the vaccine. Recently, there has been a significant uptick in compulsory demands for taking the COVID vaccine. This forced vaccination approach has made many people start to question why this coordinated pressure campaign has increased with such ferocity.

As a result of such one-side information, people are increasingly skeptical. In this video below you can review the counter-position for why people do not want to take the vaccination shot. [Direct Link]  I am not sure who produced it, but CTH is sharing it in an effort to provide balance.  The claims are well cited.

Devin Nunes Discusses Scale of Propaganda From Biden Regime


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on July 25, 2021 | Sundance | 98 Comments

Devin Nunes appears with Fox News host Maria Bartiromo to discuss the previous six months of the Biden regime.  Representative Nunes notes how the media  is struggling to find a positive outcome from any policy, and the inability of the installed White House occupant to form coherent sentences.

An important issue for Nunes is the advancement of Chinese interests on U.S. soil and the facilitation of China’s influence by the Biden regime.   Additionally al-Qaeda is rising back up in Afghanistan, China is conducting unrestricted cyber-intrusions and the U.S. military is more concerned about wokeism than strategic defense.

On the subject of the NSA conducting surveillance of American citizens, specifically Tucker Carlson, Representative Nunes references the history of President Obama’s weaponization of the intelligence agencies and notes their behavior has not changed throughout.  The republicans on the House Intel Committee are conducting an independent investigation of the NSA.

The 2021 Gang of Eight, responsible for national intelligence oversight:  Adam Schiff, Devin Nunes, Nancy Pelosi, Kevin McCarthy, Mark Warner, Marco Rubio, Mitch McConnell and Chuck Schumer.

Seven of the Eight are demonstrably compromised by their specific participation in prior unlawful intelligence efforts (spygate, surveillance, etc.); and I’m beginning to have my doubts about Devin Nunes….

With Narrative Established, CDC Announces Withdrawal of Rapid Response COVID Test to Belatedly Stop Diagnosing Influenza as SARS-COV-2?


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on July 25, 2021 | Sundance | 325 Comments

Well this is seriously sketchy, and feel free to correct me if my interpretation is incorrect, but the CDC has recently released a Lab Alert notifying healthcare providers they are withdrawing their emergency use request of the SARS-COV-2 rapid response diagnostic; and informing test centers to adopt new, modified, COVID testing that does not conflate influenza (the flu) with positive results for COVID-19.

This looks like a back-door admission that many of the COVID positive results were actually, perhaps intentionally & purposefully, Flu cases diagnosed as COVID.  If so, this would explain why the number of cases of influenza disappeared over the last 18 months…..

…And, if so, this would seem to indicate an intentionally inflated outcome from prior COVID-19 testing.

[CDC ALERT] – “After December 31, 2021, CDC will withdraw the request to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) of the CDC 2019-Novel Coronavirus (2019-nCoV) Real-Time RT-PCR Diagnostic Panel, the assay first introduced in February 2020 for detection of SARS-CoV-2 only. CDC is providing this advance notice for clinical laboratories to have adequate time to select and implement one of the many FDA-authorized alternatives.”

[…] “In preparation for this change, CDC recommends clinical laboratories and testing sites that have been using the CDC 2019-nCoV RT-PCR assay select and begin their transition to another FDA-authorized COVID-19 test. CDC encourages laboratories to consider adoption of a multiplexed method that can facilitate detection and differentiation of SARS-CoV-2 and influenza viruses. Such assays can facilitate continued testing for both influenza and SARS-CoV-2 and can save both time and resources as we head into influenza season.” Read More

Common sense – If the original RT-PCR diagnostic was accurate in the detection of COVID-19 alone, then why would they abandon the rapid response test?  Why the need to shift to a different, newer and  CDC approved, rapid response test?….  if not to shift away from a previous test that created false positives?

Another way of looking at it is that politically the CDC wanted to create the illusion of more COVID spread than existed (Trump administration), and the current regime (Biden administration) needs to show progress in diminished cases of COVID in order to support Joe Biden and the needs of Democrats for the 2022 mid-terms.   As a result they now switch to a rapid-response test that will only diagnose COVID cases.

This is certainly a suspicious development…. which, no doubt, they will have a plan to justify.

Are we all being manipulated by political science?

Suspicious cat remains, well, suspicious….

REMINDER, Ten House Republicans Who Voted to Impeach President Trump, and Links To Their Primary Opponents Who Need Support


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on July 25, 2021 | Sundance | 112 Comments

As noted in an article on campaign contributions [HERE], the Ten House DeceptiCons who voted to impeach President Trump are out-fundraising their grassroots challengers. Of course they are. The corrupt DC system is designed to protect their own.

The establishment GOP are not getting involved. The RNC is not financially supporting any primary opponents. However, the club does not control the voting support, ‘We The People’ do.

That leaves it up to us. We need to financially support the challengers and then turn out in massive numbers to defeat these creeps in the primary. These are the ten House Republicans who voted to impeach President Trump. This is who we need to defeat and send a message:

These ten DeceptiCons in the House also voted to support Nancy Pelosi’s “January 6th Commission.” They knew during the vote the purpose of the commission was to assist Democrats with a campaign narrative for 2022. There is no excuse for this level of decepticon behavior. However, they will be supported and funded by all voices who oppose the ‘America-First’ economic agenda. These people must be removed. There can be no quarter.

Scroll down for the campaign links to their primary opponents we need to support:

♦ Valdao is being challenged in California by Chris Mathys [ Website Here ]

♦ Kinzinger is being challenged in Illinois by Catalina Lauf [ Website Here]

♦ Meijer is being challenged in Michigan by Tom Norton [ Website Here]

♦ Upton is being challenged in Michigan by Steve Carra [ Website Here]

♦ Cheney is being challenged in Wyoming by three opponents:

    1. Anthony Bouchard [Website Here],
    2. Chuck Gray [Website Here], and
    3. Darin Smith [Website Here]

♦ John Katko (NY-24) is currently uncontested [ Need Primary Candidate]

♦ Gonzalez is being challenged in Ohio by Max Miller [ Website Here ]

♦ Tom Rice is being challenged in South Carolina by Ken Richardson [ Website Here ]

♦ Herrera-Beutler is being challenged in Washington State by Joe Kent [ Website Here ]

♦ Newhouse is being challenged in Washington State by Loren Culp [ Website Here ]

###

If you’ve been in the battle for a while, you know what to do:

Select a candidate or candidates that you want to support. Then send them money, no amount is too small.

Second, it’s okay if you cannot send them money. Share this link with your friends, family, community and tribe. Distributing the message is just as valuable, if not more, than sending a direct donation.

Post links to the primary challenger you support on Facebook, Twitter and all your social media platforms. Help get out the word. Make a weekly reminder to keep doing this and spread your message out on different days and different times so you catch the maximum visibility.

If you live in the area, donate your time to help the candidate. If you do not live in the area, you may still volunteer your time to do phone calls, emails and Get Out The Vote (GOTV) efforts. Take action.

Be very visible with your support (yard signs etc). If the candidate doesn’t have the resources for signs, stickers etc, MAKE YOUR OWN.

Even if the candidate does have signs etc, remember you can save them campaign expenses if you make your own. Think big and act. Some of the most successful challenges have nothing to do with money, and everything to do with organization and determination.

Remember also, YOU MATTER. No amount of effort is too small. If you are new to the grassroot effort, think like an insurgent. Simple post-it notes left around (gas pumps, restaurants, etc) supporting your candidate are a simple and effective way to send a message. Keep imprinting the name. Simple post-it notes can have a big impact with name imprint: Ex. “Support Catalina Lauf“, written with a sharpie on a post-it note. That’s it. That’s all it needs to say. It puts the message out.

Keep all messages positive. We are all in the same foxhole. Put your support behind those who are standing up. Do not sit silent while our candidates stand in front of the fury of entrenched opposition. Stand with them. STAND.

If you are in the area of one of these challenges, network with the community and volunteer for anything you are able. No effort is too small, even making coffee or helping run errands can be a big assist. Key point…. keep making the offer even if there is nothing currently available that fits your schedule or ability.

When you turn your thoughts into action, you will be amazed at how positive your frame-of-mind becomes. Taking action is empowering.

We will update and repost this message as a reminder from time to time.

Love to all,

~ Sundance

Perfect – Arizona GOP Senator Michelle Ugenti-Rita, Who Killed Election Reform Bill, Destroyed by Audience, Booed and Run Off Stage


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on July 24, 2021 | Sundance | 327 Comments

We need more of this!

Arizona Senator Michelle Ugenti-Rita was one of two republicans who voted with Democrats to kill SB1241, an Arizona senate bill to reform election integrity.  Senator Ugenti was scheduled to speak to the audience at Turning Point USA today; however, when she attempted to give her speech, the audience absolutely destroyed her with boos and jeers.

Ms. Ugenti attempted to deliver her speech, but the crowd grew louder with every word until eventually she had to walk off stage completely humiliated.  Well done Arizona.  Senator Ugenti does not stand a chance in her vain attempt to become Secretary of State.  It was brutal.  It was awesome, WATCH:
