  • turning our spies on us

    From Mike Powell@1:2320/105 to RON LAUZON on Friday, February 26, 2021 17:03:00
    I've often said that COVID presents 2 problems: 1) overcoming the unconstitutional power grab by some in gov't and 2) overcoming the fear
    put into the sheeple by the Propaganda Ministry.

    I was reading something today about how the federal government is going to start using our spy community to spy on US citizens. The FBI and DHS are already tasked with doing that. Now we will have another group (I am
    guessing the CIA but, since they are not allowed to spy on us, they are
    calling it the "Intelligence Community").

    I suspect they are using early January's events as an excuse. The reality could be that any dissenters could find themselves in hot water.

    It's scary to see us turning into Communist China.

    For a lot of us, it is. I suspect there are some that are not at all
    bothered by it. :(

    Too true, unfortunately. We've got whole generations of people who can't
    think for themselves and want someone else to take care of stuff for them.
