- ⚠️ The DHS has issued a national terrorism advisory bulletin due to possible retaliatory attacks on US soil, following the previous administration's allowance of millions of illegal aliens, many from countries that "hate us."
- 💡 Sources within the FBI suggest that "sleeper cell" stories are often badly sourced internally, raising questions about the good faith of official warnings.
- 🎯 While an Islamic terrorist attack is considered a potential threat, the distinction between this and a government-trained "sleeper cell" is highlighted.
- 🚨 A concerning incident involved an independent journalist being threatened by an individual who stated, "You're going to remember me," underscoring potential threats.
Northern Border Security and FBI Surveillance
- ✈️ A significant number of individuals on terror watchlists in 2023 entered the U.S. via the northern border from Canada, not the southern border.
- 🔍 Retired FBI agents believe the FBI may use terrorism warnings as an excuse to surveil the general public, a tactic employed repeatedly in the past.
- 🚫 The focus on surveillance rather than immediate ICE action for individuals of concern is questioned, suggesting a potential "surveillance scheme."
- 📈 The FBI's tendency to state that threats were "on our radar" after attacks, rather than preventing them, indicates a pattern of reactive surveillance rather than proactive intervention.
TSA Watchlist and Biometric Data Concerns
- 📜 Hundreds, possibly thousands, of Americans were unknowingly added to the TSA's "quiet skies" list, which flagged individuals with four S's on their boarding passes.
- 🕵️ The TSA reportedly hired a private company to surveil social media posts to determine watchlist additions, a practice that has since been shut down.
- 💰 This TSA watchlist program, costing American taxpayers $200 million annually, caught zero terrorists and was a key factor in Tulsi Gabbard's efforts to dismantle it.
- 🔒 Americans can reject TSA's new facial recognition biometric measures, preserving privacy by declining to hand over driver's licenses or use the scanning machines.
- 📊 Despite claims of deleting biometric images, TSA forwards them to DHS, raising concerns about DHS potentially creating a large, undisclosed database of citizen biometrics.
Justice for FBI Whistleblowers
- ⚖️ Whistleblowers like Garret O'Boyle and Steve Friend have suffered career repercussions for exposing issues within the FBI.
- 💰 O'Boyle, suspended without pay for over 1,001 days, is seeking reinstatement of his pay and back pay.
- 🚫 These whistleblowers appear to be on a blacklist, hindering their ability to find new employment, even in seemingly low-barrier jobs.
- 😔 Despite hopes that new FBI leadership under Director Patel would address these issues, sources indicate a lack of progress in reinstating whistleblowers or compensating them, which is deeply disappointing given prior friendships and support.
- ✅ There is a strong call for justice and making these whistleblowers whole for their sacrifices in exposing internal FBI issues.
