Meet CISA, A De Facto Cyber Patriot Act

[Lucian Armasu]

The so-called cybersecurity bill, nicknamed a "surveillance bill by another name" by Senator Ron Wyden, turned into a complete surveillance bill with the latest changes made by Congress before it was added it to the "omnibus" budget bill.

As always, another attempt by the government (behind them big bankers) to control everything we see and do. Big Brother will come up short on what our public elected officials have in plan for us. Orwell must be turning in his grave.

"Freedom of speech is a principal pillar of a free government; when this support is taken away, the constitution of a free society is dissolved, and tyranny is erected on its ruins. Republics and limited monarchies derive their strength and vigor from a popular examination into the action of the magistrates." -Benjamin Franklin

"Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety." -Benjamin Franklin

"Rebellion to tyrants is obedience to God." -Benjamin Franklin

I think every time they try to call it a "cybersecurity" bill, they should be legally required to be punched in the mouth.
It is anything but.

it's time for the teeth to be used on these seditious conspirators.
we have the right to throw out all the traitors voting yes to this stuff and stick them in a dark hole in a prison for 20 years, from president, supreme court judges and congressmen and to the employees of the government breaking the law which includes any cops secret service fbi or other agency.

"That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security."

we have the right to enforce the supreme laws of the land upon all government employees
Amendment IX
The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people.

Amendment X
The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.

80+years of mass multiple felony violations of these rights and supreme laws of the land have gone on for too frequently and far to long.

 

[Red Flag Target]

This is just the tip of the iceberg. DHS, NSA, FBI (DITU - Data Intercept Technology Unit & OTD - Operational Technology Division) are engaged on a "data-rape" spree against innocent Americans.

"Meta-Data" collection discussion is a diversion; propaganda to detract attention away from what is really being done.

These agencies are operating by the tenets established by GCHQ/JTRIG in the UK: Deny, Deceive, Degrade, Disrupt, and Destroy.

They include cyber-harassment, data theft and interception of ALL of your communications. Think they go to a judge to get a court order or to pull a warrant for cyber-harassment and the hacking of every on-line account you access? LOL. Guess again.

In some cases, in order to provide for plausible deniability, they outsource their illegal work to James Bimen and Associates in Fairfax, Virginia. The software the agencies and the companies they outsource to is developed by HT Srl (HackingTeam) and Cicom - both based in Baltimore, Maryland.

HackingTeam is on record for selling software and technology to countries which oppress and kill their dissidents - and if it is illegal to sell weapons to these countries, why are they allowed to sell weaponized software to the same authoritarian regimes?

The agencies - pass along personally identifying information (PII), supposedly protected by the Privacy Act, to local and state law enforcement, for them to monitor "targets" as well.

Who is a target you might wonder? Veterans, activists, LGBT community members, gun owners, NRA members, investigative journalists, politically outspoken individuals, Tea Party members, conservatives, etc. The list goes on.

Targets of these illegal cyber-operations are also harassed on the street-level by InfraGard, the FBI's "civilian" branch, which also has access to all of the stolen PII (once again - without a warrant), and uses it against "targets" (aka "domestic threats") in operations modeled after East Germany's Stasi (look up "Zersetzung").

This latest "data collection program" should be named "The Privacy Rape Program," and this latest expansion of their illegal powers will certainly be utilized to augment the scope of their unconstitutional activities.

They have no oversight and are intent on destroying the lives of anyone who they have decided poses a "potential domestic threat." These activities - and this latest legislation - is simply an extension of the counter-intelligence program (COINTELPRO) which was brought to light in the 1970's by the Church Committee.

The program was never discontinued, it was simply renamed, buried beneath layers of secrecy, and is even more intrusive and unconstitutional due to the rapid advancement of technology, which most Americans (or judges) don't even know exists.
