Senators issued satellite phones, offered demonstrations on upgraded security devices
CBS News ^ | 5/22/25

Posted on 05/23/2023 2:50:40 AM PDT by EBH

Amid growing concerns of security risks to members of Congress, more than 50 senators have been issued satellite phones for emergency communication, people familiar with the measures told CBS News. The devices are part of a series of new security measures being offered to senators by the Senate Sergeant at Arms, who took over shortly after the assault on the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.

The satellite phone technology has been offered to all 100 senators. CBS News has learned at least 50 have accepted the phones, which Senate administrative staff recommend senators keep in close proximity during their travels.

In testimony before the Senate Appropriations Committee last month, Senate Sergeant at Arms Karen Gibson said satellite communication is being deployed "to ensure a redundant and secure means of communication during a disruptive event."

Gibson said the phones are a security backstop in the case of an emergency that "takes out communications" in part of America. Federal funding will pay for the satellite airtime needed to utilize the phone devices.

A Department of Homeland Security advisory said satellite phones are a tool for responding to and coordinating government services in the case of a "man-made" or natural disaster that wipes out communication.

Still it ‘bugs me’ that half the Senate and none of the House have these phones. Why?

If they all had them..OK. Maybe.

But only what appears to be the Senate and Democrats? This looks like the set-up to a major false flag event.

Someone needs to let these Senators know that when they finally achieve their goal of starting WW3 against Russia (and/or China), our satellites will be the first thing neutralized.

Re: 22 - Why does it bug you? Call the House Sergeant-at-Arms and ask.

“ Senators could be located by bad guys via the senators’ rather rare phone signal emissions.”

If they succeed in getting us into a hot war then yes, they will be located.

“What do they know that is possibly getting ready to happen that we do not?”

Exactly right. This is obvious preparation for “Continuity of government” after a disruption. They are showing their hand. Expect a false flag event and declaration of Martial Law.

On the lookout for a U-haul with a brand new nazi flag in the back. Driver wearing khakis.

In terms of who to save in order to rebuild, these should be near the bottom of the list.

Hmmm.

I’ve been dwelling on this.

The question is, why now?

Well, the last time they barricaded themselves against the people was the J6 “Capitol fence”, which was really because they know they stole the election.

Maybe they know is their time is up……

“A lot of the world’s problems would be solved if russia and the u.s. each launched one large yield nuke taking each other’s seat of government. No need to involve the rest of our countries’ citizens in the russia mafia/deep state retardery.”


The Psychic Parrot, a short film from 1977 has this scenario down pat...

A ‘celebrity’ parrot that always predicts the future declares that the world will end in a month. Knowing that earth is doomed everyone has a big party like New Years Eve...

The political powers decide that all the important people of the world are selected and sent to the moon in a space ship so they can escape the earth’s destruction...

As midnight approaches everyone prepares to toast their demise, but midnight comes and the world doesn’t end. A special comes on TV and the parrot explains he made a mistake.

“Psychic Parrot wrong,” the famous parrot states. And then the moon blows up.
