Senators on Armed Services Committee Promote Expansion of NSA Domestic Data Gathering and Surveillance – NSA Response: “The Fourth Amendment is a “Key Obstacle” You Need to Remove

OK, before I blow a blood pressure cuff on this issue, please keep in mind the warnings provided on these pages about DHS now starting to assemble lists of dissident citizens under the guise of domestic extremists. {Go Deep} Also remind yourself the same DHS and FBI are now using private contractors embedded in Big Tech to scour public information on social media and provide feedback to help DHS assemble those lists. {Go Deep}

Now, we take that foundation and build it one step further…. This well-written report about the recent Senate Armed Services Committee discussion with the National Security Agency (NSA) needs to be absorbed with the prior information as context. These paragraphs are alarming in the extreme (emphasis mine):

[…] “Several members of the Senate Armed Services Committee on Thursday voiced their support for expanded authorities for the NSA and U.S. Cyber Command to conduct more intelligence gathering domestically, something that the Biden administration already is exploring, according to Gen. Paul Nakasone, who leads both agencies.”

“Former NSA general counsel Glenn Gertstell has argued that an expansion of NSA authorities to collect domestic intelligence is overdue. “It can’t possibly be the case that the Fourth Amendment ties our hands in such a way that we just have to sit there and watch the Chinese romp through our infrastructure,” he told the Wall Street Journal in March. The Fourth Amendment protects against unreasonable searches and [NSA Director] Nakasone cited it as a key obstacle to potential expansion of the NSA’s powers domestically.” (read more)

The Fourth Amendment is an “obstacle“?…. WTF kind of outlook is that.

Despite their efforts, their ongoing efforts, to destroy what remaining privacy safeguards are in place…. I do not want to live in a nation that loses the fundamental protection of the Fourth Amendment: “The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.” (citation)

#13. Right on re the 4th Amendment.

What is being ignored by NSA and DHS, out of ignorance, on purpose, or both, is the need to “DEFINE” who are the threats before you go after them.

Ask Nakasone, Mueller, Comey, Garland, Strzok, McCabe and Wray “WHO” are the domestic threats today. I’ll bet that most of then couldn’t name a group on the LEFT or Black Fascist movement.

They will slobber over The 3 Percenters, QAnon, Proud Boys, some white supremacist groups (who are open about who they are), some long-wolf “militias”, etc.

Also, let them name Islamic extremists groups and THEIR FRONTS in the US (CAIR, ICNA, MSA, etc). They can’t or they won’t.

First you have to identify your actual and/or potential enemies based on facts and their ideologies. Then you have to identify their fronts/persons. And finally, you put this all together to show WHO actually performs “domestic terrorism” and move them to the top of the surveillance list.

This is NOT happening now and under Biden and his Marxist advisors and appointees (esp. Soros funded people), it won’t.

Old adage: “Define the threat; identify the threat; counter the threat”.

Been there; done that.

The last line of defense for the Constitution IS an
armed populace ... willing to use their arms in defense of their country and not sit on the couch complaining while displaying their collective puffy chests over the interweb.

If that is their position and they actually said that, and embrace that ideology,

The NSA needs to be cratered.

An armed populace that actually does something as well. Let’s hope it doesn’t come to that. What was that, hope for the best, plan for the worst?
