WASHINGTON, DC: Former Democratic Congresswoman and presidential candidate Tulsi Gabbard confirmed that she continues to be under surveillance by the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) under their controversial 'Quiet Skies' program on Sunday, August 25.

A vocal supporter of GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump, Gabbard shared evidence of her being monitored in an Instagram story, where she posted a picture of her flight ticket with "SSSS" printed at the top. She encircled the part, marking it as a known indicator of the "Quiet Skies" watchlist, and used the hashtags "#AndStill #QuietSkies".

What is 'Quiet Skies'?

According to the Boston Globe, "Quiet Skies" is a program under the TSA, where federal air marshals follow travelers who "are not under investigation by any agency and are not in the Terrorist Screening Data Base" and collect extensive information about their movement and behavior.

The goal of the program is to help commercial aircraft avoid threats “posed by unknown or partially known terrorists,” states an internal bulletin of the TSA. It provides the agency broad discretion over which air travelers to focus on and how closely they are tracked.

Whistleblowers told the Air Marshal National Council that Gabbard's name was featured on the program and that she was under surveillance at airports and on planes, the Daily Mail reported earlier this month. As a result, she is reportedly stalked by at least five agents on every flight she takes.

Gabbard has spoken out against being put on the watchlist, once telling Fox News host Laura Ingraham, "This is a clear act of political retaliation. There is no other way to put it... The very next day after my conversation with you on air warning the American people about how dangerous a Kamala Harris presidency would be, I was placed on this domestic terror watchlist.

Just saying.

Tulsi Gabbard is the one, who the government is against.

Why?

Kamala has never forgiven Tulsi for making her look like an idiot during debate.

The question is, who really controls the government and the country?

That would be the Deep State.

The Deep State controls the government, and that includes the Democrat Party, the NeverTrumpGOP, and the media.

The Deep State has told us as much. The Deep State is permanent. Politicians are changed as often as diapers on a baby. And the media...the media depends on the Deep State for its news.

The Deep State is the US version of the Politburo.

A politburo (/ˈpɒlɪtbjʊəroʊ/ ⓘ) or political bureau is the highest political organ of the central committee in communist parties.[citation needed] The term is also sometimes used to refer to similar organs in non-communist parties, such as the Political Bureau of Hamas.[1] Politburos are part of the governing structure in most former and existing communist states.

Another three-letter agency that needs to be dissolved.

Well, that’s a thread-killing post. Did you overlook freedom of banking?

“The system of banking we have both equally and ever reprobated. I contemplate it as a blot left in all our constitutions, which, if not covered, will end in their destruction, which is already hit by the gamblers in corruption, and is sweeping away in its progress the fortunes and morals of our citizens. Funding I consider as limited, rightfully, to a redemption of the debt within the lives of a majority of the generation contracting it; every generation coming equally, by the laws of the Creator of the world, to the free possession of the earth he made for their subsistence, unincumbered by their predecessors, who, like them, were but tenants for life…
And I sincerely believe, with you, that banking establishments are more dangerous than standing armies; and that the principle of spending money to be paid by posterity, under the name of funding, is but swindling futurity on a large scale.

Thomas Jefferson

Absolutely.

And it's an organism that doesn't even need a central brain. It's actions always serve itself.

As we all know, the CIA groomed Obama and even arranged to get him steeped in communism via Frank Marshall Davis. The reason: The Deep State prefers communism because those nasty voters don't really have a say-so in decision-making.

We have a country that pretends to be a republic but, if you scratch beneath the surface, we are just a giant bureaucracy-run machine.

The U.S. has become a communist bureaucracy without the communism, socialism, or fascism. The government controls everything but there's no free stuff (for the most part).;-)

We're just like China but we deny that we're a communist country and we allow a little more freedom when it comes to businesses.

I understand that very soon many in the deep stste will be vacationing at the gray-bar hotel. If they’re smart, they will leave the country now to a place with no extradition.

My understanding is that she doesn’t support the war in Ukraine and therefore needs to be silenced.

I wonder who’s next to be placed on “Quiet Skies”? Bobby Kennedy perhaps?

Kamala & Walz need to be put on a watchlist of some kind. Neither are what America needs.
