Office of Inspector General Michael Horowitz testified April 27, 2023, that more than 3.4 million search queries into the NSA database took place between Dec. 1st, 2020 and Nov. 30th, 2021, by government officials and/or contractors working on behalf of the federal government. These search queries were based on authorizations related to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA).
Approximately 30% of those 3.4 million search queries were outside the rules and regulations that govern warrantless searches, what the politically correct government calls “non-compliant searches.” That means more than 1 million searches of private documents and communication of Americans were illegal and outside the rules.
Additionally, IG Horowitz also admitted that somewhere north of 10,000 federal employees have access to conduct these searches of the NSA database; a database which contains the electronic data of every single American, including emails, text messages, social media posts, instant messages, direct messages, phone calls, geolocation identifiers, purchases by electronic funds, banking records and any keystroke any American person puts into any electronic device for any reason.
If we were in a functioning system of government everything would be stopped right now, and no conversation would be taking place that was not about this issue. This is the total and complete surveillance state being talked about as if we were discussing what’s for dinner.
This is beyond jaw-dropping.

These stunning admissions were from the DOJ’s own reporting to the FISA court.
Few were paying attention.
Although the number of the illegal search queries were redacted, we know the number is four digits

We may already have a social credit score and not know it. Google worked on the Chinese system. Do they have a secret arrangement to do the same thing in the US or are they already gathering data in the event a social credit system is imposed in the future?
In 2021 there were over 1 million illegal searches. Who and why?
Congress will easily re-authorize or anyone who votes against it will have their dirt revealed by the DOJ
Not ony should FISA not be re-authorized, everyone who voted for, enforced, or used it should be summarily tried and executed...
This author must have something to hide. /s

The fact is that just the government collecting the data is itself an illegal warrantless search. So we’re not talking thousands of illegal searches, we are talking billions upon billions of them. The entire system is thoroughly and explicitly unconstitutional.
EXACTLY--illegal search and seizure
