Never letting a crisis go to waste is very useful tool, especially when the government creates the crisis. As CTH has said from the first discussion of the classified intelligence leaks, the “leak is the op.”
The intel leak is the operation created by the Intelligence Community to support new expanded powers for the Fourth Branch of Government. It should not be a surprise to discover the institution now leading the charge to give more power for U.S. intel agencies, is…. wait for it….. The Senate Select Committee on Intelligence.
The SSCI is the organizational institution that supports the Fourth Branch of Government, the intelligence branch. The SSCI previously created a bipartisan Restrict Act, to deal with dangerous information on the internet.
According to SSCI Chairman Mark Warner, ‘The Restrict Act’ will give more power and authorities to the Executive Branch to deal with internet danger. Now the SSCI sees the classified intel leaks as evidence for the importance of the Restrict Act.
Well, butter my buns and call me a biscuit, surprise-surprise! Funny how that happens.
(Via NBC) – The Biden administration is looking at expanding how it monitors social media sites and chatrooms after U.S. intelligence agencies failed to spot classified Pentagon documents circulating online for weeks, according to a senior administration official and a congressional official briefed on the matter.
The possible change in the intelligence-gathering process is just one potential shift as officials scramble to determine not only how the documents leaked but also how to prevent another damaging incident.
[…] The president and other officials were dismayed when they learned the documents had been online for at least a month. “Nobody is happy about this,” said the senior administration official.
The administration is now looking at expanding the universe of online sites that intelligence agencies and law enforcement authorities track, the official said.
[…] If the administration tries to check online chatrooms more closely, it will have to navigate legal safeguards designed to protect Americans’ privacy and freedom of expression, former intelligence officials said.
Watching a public chatroom is fair game, but law enforcement agencies don’t have the legal authority to monitor a private online chatroom without probable cause, the former officials said.
“We do not have nor do we want a system where the United States government monitors private internet chats,” said Glenn Gerstell, former general counsel of the National Security Agency from 2015 to 2020.
[…] Senate Intelligence Committee Chairman Mark Warner, D-Va., said the leak raised yet more questions about how the government manages its secrets, only months after revelations that successive administrations appeared to have mishandled classified documents. […] “I think it’s time that Congress plays a role here in setting some parameters,” Warner said. (read more)
Just a few “parameters“…
Swear.
Promise.
Uh huh….
The Restrict Act, also known as Senate Bill 686 [SB686 HERE], also known as the bipartisan bill to empower the executive branch to shut down TikTok. Also known as the ‘online Patriot Act’.

demand new powers act............more control for the elites
Have had highest security clearances as an active duty AF officer. I find it hard to believe a Mass guard would see anything. The NYT probably from other sources.
...more control for corrupt evil 'elites'...
Detailed Breakdown of the Criminals you Voted for that make up the US Congress.
36 have been accused of spousal abuse.
7 have been arrested for fraud.
19 have been accused of writing bad cheques.
117 have been directly or indirectly bankrupted- at least two businesses.
3 have done time for assault
71 cannot get a credit card due to their credit.
14 have been arrested on drug related charges

21 are currently defendants in lawsuits
84 have been arrested for drunk driving in the last year.
380 of the 435 members of the US Congress making up 87% of them.
The Redheaded libertarian:
Let’s talk RESTRICT Act, DATA Act, violations of the US Constitution, and the deep state infiltration of our Constitutional republic.

Stand him against the wall and very publicly shoot him.
The punishment for treason must be death.
If a lawyer complains, detain the lawyer for 5 years
(he’s from Massachusetts and needs to be made example of)
Yep, absolutely. The false flag was far too obvious.
Really? 84 DWI arrests ÷ 52 weeks = 1.6 DWI arrests of Members of Congress, per week, every week, for an entire year?
Did you make this up yourself?
So the leak was/is akin to a mysterious drive-by shooting in a bad neighborhood, or a bank shootup or similar incident at a school or church organization, seemingly made-to-order to serve as a pretext to justify subsequent demands for a fresh round of gun control laws.
BTTT
Like they did with Russiagate
Create a rumor, “leak” it to the media, then use the media reports as a basis to start investigations
“So the leak was/is akin to a mysterious drive-by shooting in a bad neighborhood, or a bank shootup or similar incident at a school or church organization, seemingly made-to-order to serve as a pretext to justify subsequent demands for a fresh round of gun control laws.”
Yes...
“Power corrupts. Absolute power corrupts absolutely” comes to mind.
It won’t really affect us here, since I’m sure they’ve already been monitoring us for 20 years.
Agreed. Somethings rotten in the state of Denmark
The Bill of Rights is about to be cancelled “de facto” by the #JihadJunta.. Can’t have those pesky “rights” to destroy our “beautiful wickedness..”
And revealing the (unauthorized and illegal) scope of the secret US war against Russia before it gets hundreds of millions killed and our land poisoned isn't treason, it's patriotism.
If you believe a 21 year old ANG guy did all this alone and unmonitored, you probably believe Nixon was removed from office because he did something wrong, and JFK was killed by a nobody.
He had help, and very high level help at that to pull this off. FBI and CIA pulling our strings is bad enough - but what this reveals is that men who command troops are getting involved in our politics at the retail level.
Motus in fine velocior - Things speed up toward the end.
