‘The McAllen Project’: New Forensic Details on How the Government Spied on Me and My CBS Computers
Sharyl Attkisson (.com) ^ | June 9, 2024 | Sharyl Attkisson

Never-before-released details of the behind-the-scenes investigations

How it Started

“Reeeeeeeee.”

The noise is coming from my personal Apple desktop computer in the small office adjacent to my bedroom. It’s starting up.

On its own.

“Reeeeeeeee…chik chik chik chik,” says the computer as it shakes itself awake.

The electronic sounds stir me from sleep. I squint my eyes at the clock radio on the table next to the bed. The numbers blink back: “3:14 a.m.”

Only a day earlier, my CBS-issued Toshiba laptop, perched at the front of my bed, had whirred to life on its own, untouched by human hands. What time was that?I think it was 4 a.m.

Some nights, both computers spark to life, one after the other. After thirty seconds, maybe a minute, they go back to sleep. I know this is not normal computer behavior.

It’s October 2012. I try to remember how long ago my computers started going rogue. A year? Two? It no longer startles me. But it’s definitely piquing my curiosity.

I’ve been reporting on the deadly, September 11 Islamic extremist terrorism attacks on Americans in Benghazi—a follow on to my reporting that exposed the government’s Fast and Furious scandal in which the Department of Justice secretly facilitated the delivery of thousands of weapons to Mexico’s killer cartels.

Both stories would garner recognition from the Emmys and other journalism awards. But along with other reporting I’d done at CBS News, they also put me in the crosshairs of shady officials who don’t want me to tell these stories. And they don’t want whistleblowers sharing the government’s dirty secrets with me—or other reporters.

Now my computers offer a new mystery for me to unravel.

This has been going on for 12 years.

Sharyl left the networks because they knew what happened to her computers and would do nothing to explain it to her or attempt to stop the computer assaults.

Long very detailed explanation of her hunt for the malware on her computers. It began with Obozo's administration.

Efforts to silence her.

Thanks for posting 👍

Her story ends similarly to the ending of the film, “Three Days of the Condor”. Where Robert Redford’s character is told, “what if you tell them and nobody cares”.

President Obama weaponized the intelligence agencies against the rest of us.

President Trump set them back a while as the marshaled their resources against him.

President Biden is redoubling President Obama's efforts to "fundamentally transform (destroy)America".

President Trump is once again a stumbling block to their plans.

This was 12 years ago. Attkisson’s experience could still be considered the beginning phase.

We are well into the total panopticon now. Imagine now how much better the surveillance tech has become, especially since Apple, Microsoft, Facebook, Google, etc... have achieved complete monopoly status in the USA (and the world). Just look at the total control of corporate media now, the total manipulation of politics.

The technology gets more sophisticated no matter who is in the White House.

We may win some battles against the Borg—but the war is going badly.

Very badly.

Obama weaponized the intelligence agencies against us.


And do not forget who else was in on the plan:

ITEM: In her race against Trump, Obama put all 17 US tax-funded
intel agencies at Hillary’s disposal............for crass political purposes.


Guarding the safety and security of American families......
the purpose of intel.......was not as important to them as Hillary’s political needs.

Yes.

This is our best shot to save our nation and freedom.

Europe is rebelling against the Socialists. They are angry.

It is our turn next.

It has happened before. And not related to this group.

Vince Foster? Deep State?
