WASHINGTON — House Republicans are demanding more information from the FBI about its use of “software tools” to seek out election-related speech on social media after a bureau analyst mentioned their use during a recent deposition — before being barred from saying any more by FBI lawyers.

House Judiciary Committee chairman Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) told FBI Director Christopher Wray Tuesday to hand over the information as President-elect Donald Trump’s looming return to office creates uncertainty for Wray’s future employment.

“In a transcribed interview… on October 23, 2024, an FBI Criminal Investigative Division Analyst previously assigned to the [Foreign Influence Task Force] disclosed that the FITF uses ‘software tools where [the FBI can] search open-source databases about content indicative of criminal conduct’,” Jordan wrote to Wray in a letter obtained by The Post.

Although the material was described as “open-source,” the search tools are suspected to have been developed in-house.

It’s unclear what social media sites are included in the search or how the information is compiled.

“According to the analyst’s testimony, the FBI uses this tool to monitor social media posts by users, regardless of whether the users are American citizens or foreign actors, to search for ‘content indicative of criminal conduct,’” Jordan wrote.

“The analyst further testified that the FBI shares its findings, such as the specific ‘user name and the content’ of the posts, with social media companies to censor such content accordingly.”

“Therefore, we write to obtain additional information in order to understand whether the FBI has or could use this software tool to censor or infringe upon lawful speech, particularly Americans’ political speech.”

Jordan, who also chairs the Judiciary Subcommittee on the Weaponization of. the Federal Government, has for years investigated and criticized the FBI’s role in a broader executive branch effort to curb alleged misinformation and disinformation online.

Weeks ahead of the 2020 election, Facebook and Twitter suppressed The Post’s reporting on files from Hunter Biden’s abandoned laptop that linked his father, then-Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden, to business relationships in Ukraine and China — with social media employees noting that the FBI had warned the companies about a looming “hack and dump” foreign operation involving the Biden family…

I did cut the covid related list short. It started getting out of hand. Back to the NY Post article…

…“Within hours of my inauguration, I will sign an executive order banning any federal department or agency from colluding with any organization, business, or person, to censor, limit, categorize, or impede the lawful speech of American citizens,” Trump said in a December 2022 policy statement.

“I will then ban federal money from being used to label domestic speech as ‘mis-‘ or ‘dis-information’. And I will begin the process of identifying and firing every federal bureaucrat who has engaged in domestic censorship — directly or indirectly — whether they are the Department of Homeland Security, the Department of Health and Human Services, the FBI, the DOJ, no matter who they are.”

That sounds promising.

The FBI confirmed to The Post that it received the letter and declined to comment.

That sounds typical.

 

seriously.

Yesterday, Tuesday, 11/12/24 just before I woke up.

It was a full mind screen picture of the flag with a 5 where the stars would be and the five looked just like the one pictured below. The one difference is, in the dream, the blue field was in the right corner.

I have no graphic abilities to speak of and still don’t  know how this website came together years ago; that I was able to get the flag on this page at all was no mean feat and I consider it an accomplishment beyond all that I hoped for and that ain’t the all of it.

Before I thought about posting the flag dream, I started looking into occultic or hidden meanings for the number 5. I’m curious and besides, the 5 wasn’t just any 5. What you see is how it looked in the dream; and I searched through half the Apple fonts this mac provides before I recognized the Luminari model.  Luminari; sounds like it’s right out of Godfather 3.

The personal applications to the various interpretations weren’t considered. With the 5 being front and centered on Old Glory I immediately defaulted to applying the various interpretations, which mostly were positive, to the national level.

The number 5 symbolizes risks are involved but recognizing them leads to mitigating them.

While the number5 signifies freedom and change with adventure thrown in, staying positive in a period of adversity requires a non-wavering trust in God.

Meanwhile, the5 influence continued this morning when I picked up my bible and it opened to Mathew 5, the account of Jesus teaching the Beatitudes to the multitude.

If the US government under Trump embraced the Beatitudes as a basis for our new foreign policy, I think President Trump could be recognized as the  one political leader who walked his campaign talk and stayed on the high road,  avoiding the shadows of uncertainty cast by promises and allegations unfulfilled and forgotten, the same promises and allegations those who believe in him and came out by the millions in support of him have recognized and long expected relief from presidents past but instead were disappointed year after year, decade after decade.

There’s not much wick left in this Country; probably less throughout Western civilization. I pray that 5 is a solid message of encouragement from  the One, True and interested God.

 

Worth watching every day for the rest of our lives.

On Trump’s first day, he say’s he’s going to change our world.

It ain’t easy being free and they don’t have to complicate matters like they do when the message provides a  noumenon heads up.

On the other hand… an update.

Yesterday, November 5, 2024, a day, I think, that will live a very longtime in most American’s memories as one of our narrowest escapes from the clutches of evil in our Nation’s 248 years of existence and of which I am certain most of US gave thanks for the outcome; and yet, on November 6, mere hours after our deliverance from the democrat’s version of durance vile, having run smack dab into one of the many vestiges of  the impact from the political crime families Twentieth Century efforts to deconstruct US into a police state , I thought  connecting the two recent experiences of mine in the span of 23 hours split unevenly between yesterday and today would be insightful.

It began yesterday when I received an emailed notification I was expecting but didn’t want. It was a notice of a substack resubscription I tried to head off last week when I received a reminder it was a week away.

It turns out substack makes it difficult to cancel subscriptions. They use a circular route to nowhere with no human available to interface as a last resort.

I contacted capital one to request they block payment and was told I would have to let the sale go through and then contact capital one to cancel payment. That’s the way they do it these days or so the guy said.

So I waited until I got the notice yesterday from George Webb thanking me for subscribing. In that email there was a link included if I wanted to cancel the deal which I took full advantage of until I saw it just lead to a page of his many work efforts and no place to cancel. It reminded me of my short lived career selling craftmatic beds of long, long ago.  Oy!

Having no luck cancelling directly I turned once again to capital one. An hour long story shortened for my well being resulted in my card being cancelled by ‘Leonard’ who spoke reasonably good english with an occasional lapse into indistinguishable phrases and a hair trigger card cancelling button. At the end of the hour after contact was lost with Leonard because he couldn’t understand my flip phone was not capable of accessing his texted security message and maintaining voice contact at the same time, I called back and this time talked with Mae who followed the same capone script as Leonard and evidently didn’t understand my resistance to doing the same thing that resulted in the broken connection that hopefully proved to Leonard the inadequacy of an eight year old flip phone in the hands of a dinosaur. I bid farewell to Mae to avoid having my head explode.

On to Part Two.

That flip phone which I rarely even turn on was on the shelf behind me buzzing this morning. I forgot to turn it off and it’s a good thing  because it was T-Mobile texting me I’d better make other arrangements to pay them today because my credit card isn’t responding to their tapping efforts.

I ended going up to their store because eight years ago my email address, which I shared with T-mobile went to cryptoheaven and hasn’t been accessible for four or five years, maybe, and I couldn’t pay t-mobile online because their security required information no longer available. So I’m in the store, I already explained to the clerk I was there to pay a bill.

I was asked to provide the number of the flip phone I was holding in my hand and I did; then I was asked to provide identification. I showed him my cc permit issued by Michigan. He wouldn’t accept it. It had to be my driver’s license. Why? Because he had to scan it. Why are you going to scan it? I’m here to pay a bill.

It’s policy.

I said goodbye.

As I was driving home I was considering how if I wanted to by some bourbon, me a seventy six year old male would have to show ID. Now, they’re not only asking for ID when I pay a phone bill, they want to scan it.

Bureaucracy gone wild.

From  https://www.t-mobile.com/privacy-center/privacy-notices/biometric-privacy-notice

Bonus https://www.legislature.mi.gov/Laws/MCL?objectName=MCL-436-1701

I will be in touch with the recently elected Republican legislator. We’ll see how serious the Republicans are about dismantling the bureaucratic power structure inflicting themselves on our liberties for their convenience.

Or he’ll explain the rules of the New World Order as it applies to T-Mobil customers and an elderly consumer of bourbon who hasn’t had a taste in more than a few years.

 

or three.

I’m here to share how the real influencers git ‘er done by using misdirection , lies and propaganda  they are so concerned about citizens using online.

Earlier today, I did a search on rockpa.org seeking  https://www.rockpa.org/?s=Influencing+South+America and found this 2022 addition https://www.rockpa.org/how-iris-uses-storytelling-to-drive-social-change/.

This is their opening statement:

 International Resource for Impact and Storytelling (IRIS) is a new donor collaborative focused on strengthening civil society through narrative strategies and creative storytelling for impact. A sponsored project of RPA, IRIS supports donor partners and field-led efforts to deepen integration between storytellers, movements, and civil society leaders with narrative analysis, with the aim to promote advancement on social justice issues.

It then moved into the interview where after they outright mix fact with fiction, or what a wary citizen would call lying, dishonest techniques are freely discussed and embraced.

Cara Mertes: The seed for IRIS was planted at the Ford Foundation, where I started eight years ago as Director of JustFilms, the foundation’s documentary portfolio. Historically, Ford Foundation has activated the storytelling aspect of their social justice work through its support of the independent documentary in the US, and more recently, internationally. In 2014, while supporting non-fiction content and the field that surrounds it, I began to think more broadly about narrative analysis and narrative change as an emerging field of practice. I came back to the same question: what is the difference we can make with our stories as we work to achieve more just societies? Rather than thinking about funding single stories, the challenge was to think more systemically about compounded impact, multiple approaches to storytelling, and funding content and nurturing talent linked to creating benefits for community most impacted by inequality.

With others at Ford, I also began to think about how we can build a storytelling strategy in a major philanthropy that responds to the 21st century realities we face. I concluded that while non-fiction is necessary, it is not sufficient to rise to the challenges. We needed to broaden our storytelling categories, thinking about the future of storytelling: virtual reality, short forms, social media – all forms of creative storytelling need to be in our sights if we want to attain social justice progress…

It sounds like that old Imperial edict, Rules for thee but not for me never goes out of fashion when kings and criminals are in charge and since after tomorrow the Reset could be restarting; and if the democrat party emerges as the UNlikely winner in the UNlikely event that the party of the people, who came out by the thousands almost every time Trump visited their area, once again suffers a devastating surprise within 36 hours of the polls closing, remember liar’s lie, cheater’s cheat and when their bosses couldn’t get around the Constitution to reach their low hanging wants and needs they knew their end run strategy was always available… https://www.investors.com/politics/commentary/immigrants-think-like-republicans-vote-for-democrats/

If we do lose tomorrow it wouldn’t surprise me if the commie pukes start changes quickly through the Biden administration so hold onto yer gats and yer faith in God.

Some reading I came across today in no particular order…
