U.S. Intelligence Has Amassed ‘Sensitive and Intimate’ Data on ‘Nearly Everyone’
from today’s The Defender–and this is BEFORE the digital ID goes into effect. MERYL NASS
JUN 14, 2023 – Gizmodo reported:
When it comes to data privacy in our present, hyper-connected age, many of your worst fears and biggest anxieties are probably correct. Yes, smartphones and our manifold other devices collect an incredible array of information on our habits, choices, and movements at all times.
Yes, all of this information is compiled by companies to sell for profit. Yes, the U.S. government is among the many clients buying up that data. And yes, it represents a significant and persistent threat to your civil liberties and safety, as confirmed in a newly released report from the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) — the top dog among all of our nation’s spy agencies.
The declassified document made public on Friday, was completed in January 2022, following 90 days of assessment. It was commissioned by Avril Haines, the director of national intelligence in the Biden Administration, at the behest of Oregon Senator Ron Wyden. Haines agreed to look into the issue of how U.S. intelligence uses commercially available data during her confirmation hearing, and now the result of that inquiry is fully on display.
The newly released report affirms a mounting bevy of evidence that government agencies — from Immigration and Customs Enforcement to the Pentagon — are compiling vast stores of for-sale data.
Taken altogether, the information that the government is easily able to purchase from data brokers rivals anything that’s been available to intelligence agencies in the past — even through warrants, wiretaps, and Fourth Amendment due process.
[Ed.: They know everything they need to know about me. I spread vaccine hesitancy! But I know everything that I need to know about them as well! I also know that eventually (soon,) there will be a shoot-out at my front door and I will lose. … Too bad.]
Bombshell revelation from ex-Marine intel officer: US weapons are ‘overhyped,’ and ‘unsustainable’, starting with Patriot system LEO HOHMANN
Says US government has lied to us about the Patriot system, which ‘does not work’ on full auto mode and takes too long to train Ukrainians on manual mode. It has “too many glitches in its radar!’
JUN 14, 2023 – The United States is taking the next couple of weeks to hold massive war games over the skies of Europe that are meant to send a message to Russia. Is Ukraine really worth incurring the air-superiority of US/NATO forces that could unleash a living hell on Russia?
This exercise has been dubbed “Air Defender 23.” It kicks off today, billed as the largest air deployment exercise in NATO history. Many analysts have warned that there is a danger that this so-called “exercise” could actually be a cover for NATO to directly involve itself in the Russia-Ukraine conflict, and thereby commence World War III. We all know that if the U.S./NATO is that stupid, then they really are on a suicide mission, as such a war would easily escalate to nuclear exchanges. Even a conventional war with Russia could result in significant damage to major U.S. cities being hit with non-nuclear hypersonic missiles which the U.S. Patriot system is helpless to defend against.
To hear former U.S. Marine intelligence officer and UN Weapons Inspector Scott Ritter tell it, much of Western military power is built on perception and not on real-world war scenarios. He says Russia, on the other hand, is focused more on making sure its military hardware works and works consistently, rather than on trying to bedazzle the enemy with a good public relations campaign.
Why do the elites want us all confined to digital money? Listen to what they say, and read my decoding of it. MERYL NASS
They tell you they want to seize $2 Trillion in cash each year JUN 14, 2023 – Just in case you did not know who would dare put up a website titled “globalgovernanceproject.org” it is the G20 organization, which is open about its goal to place everyone on the globe under its control. My comments are in block quotes.
/https://www.globalgovernanceproject.org/cleaning-up-the-global-financial-system/t-raja-kumar/
The G20 can only build a more equitable world if it addresses the structural weaknesses in financial systems, which fuel crime and threaten the foundations of our economies
The G20 governments can only assure the financial system that benefits them stays intact, despite all their pilfering of it, if they can gain greater control over it. Otherwise, it is expected to crash, and fairly soon.—Nass
The current global context is deeply challenging, including on the safety and security and financial fronts. More than ever, international bodies should contribute to support and safeguard our economies. The more authorities and international bodies work with each other to develop complementary and convergent actions, the more our collective efforts will make a difference and, ultimately, strengthen the sustainability of our societies and a global economic recovery. This ought to be our common goal.
And if any of you leaders don’t go along, you will be blamed for destabilizing the world economy. Do not try and jump ship.
Part of that collaboration needs to focus on tackling illicit finance. According to estimates, at least $2 trillion is laundered every year. The magnitude of illicit profits and the velocity at which billions move across borders are deeply worrying. The failure to tackle money laundering emboldens criminal activities such as fraud, corruption, human trafficking, environmental crimes and terrorism, which harm society and undermine financial systems globally. The Financial Action Task Force, through prioritising actions that increase the effectiveness of the fight against dirty money and terrorism financing, strongly contributes to creating safer societies and to driving the Sustainable Development Goals

Paying the Price for Campus Closures By Rob Jenkins. Could all this pain have been prevented if campuses had just reopened fully in the fall of 2020? Perhaps not—but much of it could have. At worst, we would have continued our gradual downhill roll toward the 2026 cliff, giving legislators and administrators plenty of time to prepare.
Better to Have No Commission Than This One by Laura Dodsworth. Next time there is a pandemic, people will be able to say ‘Baroness Hallett’s report stated that the UK government didn’t lock down fast – or hard – enough. We won’t make that mistake again!’ There will be no redemption, just a long, hard sentence, swiftly imposed. Once again, lives will be ruined, not saved.
The Meaning of the Cape Byron Lighthouse DeclarationBy Julie Sladden. Since its launch, the declaration has received international attention and signatures from around the world including France, Germany, the Netherlands, Canada, the UK, and the US with numbers increasing daily. Healthcare, nor the people it serves, cannot thrive in the presence of censorship, coercion, and unethical behaviour. So, the time has come to remind ourselves, our governments, and our leaders of the core foundations.
Bad Policy Assures a Perpetual Sense of Burning Crisis By El Gato Malo. So yes, this is 100% a political issue, but it’s not the one it’s being represented as. This is a policy fail. That which worked was abandoned for that which sounded good to a few eco-rubes, and now we are all paying the price. Reality is not optional, and ecology denial is a very expensive foible. It’s time we stopped pretending that there are no trade-offs here and begin (once more) doing the sensible thing.
What I Can Say and What I Cannot Say by Bill Rice. Regarding our society’s “debate” on what speech should be “permitted” and what speech should be banned … and what speakers should be sanctioned and punished, “permission” is the word that explains everything. From 2020-2023, some speech is still permitted by our government and its many sycophant cronies, but, alas, libraries worth of speech are now no longer permitted.
Who Owns BioNTech? By Robert Kogon. BioNTech is a very closely held company, the great majority of whose shares are owned by just three people.
Send Them By Christine Black. The sad impulse to sacrifice others to save ourselves appeared when people stepped up and spoke out during the Covid period. If someone said something that made me look bad or that interfered with my profits or my institution or my company’s profits, then we sacrificed that person. But what if she was right and speaking the truth — or hadn’t done anything wrong? Nope. Didn’t matter. Let her hang. Leave her there.
North Korea Joins WHO’s Leadership By David Bell. The pandemic agenda is not a problem for countries such as North Korea or China, where people’s freedom is already at the will of their government. But it is anathema for countries where government supposedly exists on the will of the people. So why do our leaders go along with this?
United States: Fifty Little Dictatorships By Brownstone Institute. This legal push has received no public attention, and not even Zwieg’s expert journalism seems to have broken through the wall set up by the mainstream media. And that is precisely why anyone concerned about the future needs to get the word out. The efforts toward fundamental regime change are real, threatening, and deeply dangerous to the future of liberty itself.
The Censorship Hegemon Must Be Stopped By Aaron Kheriaty. This agency was created in the waning days of the Obama administration, supposedly to protect our digital infrastructure against cyberattacks from computer viruses and nefarious foreign actors. But less than one year into their existence, CISA decided that their remit also should include protecting our “cognitive infrastructure” from various threats.
The Twisted Tree of Mitigation By Mark Oshinskie. The “mitigation” supporters actively, openly hated people, like me, who predicted, in March, 2020, all of the destruction that lockdowns, school closures, masks, tests and shots would cause. This gullible mob of tens of millions dismissed “mitigation” critics as “selfish non-experts” and “Grandma killers.”
Thousands of Averted Covid Deaths in Israel: Science Fiction By Eyal Shahar. Lockdowns were futile and detrimental, mask mandates were futile, Covid vaccines were marginally beneficial, futile, or worse, and influential studies of vaccine effectiveness contain at least one major flaw, and probably more. These truths will become common knowledge when contemporary, brainwashed Covid scientists are replaced by a new generation of scientists with inquisitive minds.
The Sadism Factor By Thomas Harrington. If you have the ability, through your complete control of the government and media matrix to get an obviously mentally incompetent man into the highest office in the most powerful country in the world (while placing another—Fetterman—with similarly limited cognitive capabilities in that same country’s Senate in order to stave off possibly devastating Republican investigations) what can’t you do?
Will FDA Approve OTC Birth Control Pills, Ignoring Medical and Epidemiological Hazards? By David Gortler. Existing data indicates that making oral contraceptives available OTC could lead to a deluge of negative public health outcomes. Additionally, oral contraceptive interactions with existing prescription drugs could lead to an increased incidence of unexpected pregnancies and serious adverse events in mothers, babies, and kids.
Stakeholder Capitalism is an Oxymoron By Craig Pirrong. Stakeholder capitalism inevitably creates a tyranny of minorities, and especially highly ideological minorities (because a shared ideology reduces the cost of organizing). Minority stakeholders will succeed in expropriating majority ones. Minority tyranny is the big problem with democratic politics. Extending it to vast swathes of economic life is a nightmare.
The Downside of the New Normal By Michael J. Sutton. The world has changed, and overall, it is not for the better. We have changed. Our government has changed. Our values have changed. Covid-19 has given us an unjust legacy of new ways of thinking, new values, and new expectations. It is overall, an unjust system. It is an unrighteous system. It is a system that exacerbates inequality, rewards conformity, and ensures division. The values it promotes are a cancer that will spread through the fabric of our nations and our hearts. Our children and grandchildren will stand in judgment over us if we survive at all.
Blaming Victims for Failures of Government By Ramesh Thakur. All these incidents of victim bashing and blame shifting responsibility for the failures of the core functions of government are symptoms of social anomie and dystopian politics poisoning contemporary Western civilisation.

Trump gets indicted, Biden gets to snooze Jack Engelhard
Notice how scandals against Biden, possibly the most corrupt president ever, simply dissolve. Op-ed.
Jun 13, 2023, 6:39 AM (GMT+3) – What happened to that story alleging a bribe scheme that netted Joe Biden five million dollars while he was VP? Abracadabra, it disappeared.
A story like this ought to be shattering news, and it was, for a day or two, and now, poof.
Impeachment hearings were sure to come. Or so you’d think. If it were Donald Trump, absolutely and pronto.
But it’s Joe Biden…Teflon Joe.
GOP Rep James Comer, chair of the House Oversight Committee, said he had the goods, enough to convene a Hearing on the alleged Biden scandal.
Fox News was on it and so were various news sites internationally, but from NPR, CBS, ABC, NBC, nada.
Like that fallen tree in the forest, domestically, the story made no sound.

The Soros Agenda Dr. Alex Grobman
‘No person has done more to damage Israel’s standing in the world, especially among so-called progressives than Soros’ – Alan M. Dershowitz.
Jun 14, 2023, 9:17 AM (GMT+3) – Who is George Soros? Why does the mere mention of his name provoke a torrent of pejorative comments including many expletives? Antisemites are accused of using his name to foster hatred against Jews in the same way they used to invoke the Rothschilds. Soros is an easy target not only because he is Jewish, but more importantly because of what he does to undermine the West and specifically the US, which he calls “the main obstacle to a stable and just world.”
Attempt to Transform America
To learn more about Soros’ plan to transform the US, I turned to Rachel Ehrenfeld’s latest work The Soros Agenda. (Rachel Ehrenfeld, The Soros Agenda, New York: Republic Book Publishers, 2023 ISBN: 978-1645720478). Ehrenfeld is the director of the American Center for Democracy and its Economic Warfare Institute, and an expert on terrorism and corruption, including terror financing, economic warfare, and narcoterrorism.
She exposes his strategy to advance radical causes by supporting Left-wing public figures, groups and politicians that have significantly increased the violence and sown discord and division in the country, while “weakening” the nation from within and reducing its prestige and influence throughout the world. By identifying his modus operandi and his “tenuous” direct and indirect links that effect domestic and international affairs, Ehrenfeld hopes to thwart them from implementing his “full-scale revolution.”
Soros’ objective is to liberate the US “from the restraints of constitutionalism, American exceptionalism, free-market capitalism, and other obsolete isms,” according to the late journalist Stefan Kanfer, whom Ehrenfeld quotes.
