The media omerta concerning the surveillance state painstakingly documented by Anonymous Conservative and various others is finally showing signs of breaking down as the funding for the system is being exposed:
In light of the policies set forth by President Donald J. Trump’s February 18, 2025 Executive Order titled “Radical Transparency About Wasteful Spending”, this is to bring to your attention the un-American and illegal activity orchestrated and funded by the Department of Homeland Security that you should order to be immediately eradicated.
During your confirmation hearings, referring to the agency you were appointed to direct, Senator Rand Paul stated: “There is not a single comprehensive list to address all the collaborative relationships that the department and its components engage in…that we can’t describe them.”
The reason why DHS refused to describe some of these “collaborative relationships” to the Homeland Security Committee is because many of them are patently illegal and in violation of the Fourth Amendment trample over the most basic civil and human rights of those illegally targeted by the government.
There are over 300,000 Americans that Federal Bureau of Investigation’s officials have attested under penalty of perjury have been placed on the Terrorist Screening Database without reasonable suspicion and “under secret criteria.”
The Department of Justice’s Office of the Inspector General audit reports concluded that 97% of the people on the TSDB have “No known ties to terrorism” and do not represent a threat to national security. Only .28% of the list contains the names of actual “known and suspected terrorists.” The vast majority of this “blacklist” is reserved for whistleblowers, activists, J6ers, parents that protest at school boards, and any enemy of the Deep State.
DHS imparts the directives implemented in the Fusion Centers that carry out the illegal psychological operations against the people illegally placed on the TSDB. Together with their Citizen Corps co-conspirators, state and federal officials engage in organized stalking, spying, harassment, street theater, vandalism, break-ins, and a myriad of illegal tactics to obliterate these “blacklisted’ individuals. These DHS-funded programs are unconstitutional and even criminal. They mirror the Stasi police state that is un-American and militates against the most basic precepts of the America First agenda.
I haven’t been much affected by this myself, although even in Europe I’ve encountered its machinery occasionally when I’ve been out and about. But I suspect the 300,000 number on the target database referenced is closer to one-tenth the number of people involved in the stalking than it is to the total number of people being surveilled and stalked.
In the case of the Stasi, fully 20 percent of the population of East Germany was involved with the surveillance in some way. If the US program is similarly pervasive, and it has had more time to be established, that would mean 64 million people are somehow engaged with spying on and stalking their fellow US citizens. I find it very, very difficult to believe that so many people are genuinely caught up in the machinery, but the logic and the history strongly suggests that you know several people who are involved with it, either as a target or as part of the system, even if you’re not caught up in it yourself.
If I seem somewhat unconcerned about it, don’t take that to mean I am defending it or believe it is excusable in any way, shape, or form. It’s not; it is obviously illegal, immoral, and unconstitutional. It’s only that the invisible hand of societal control has been documented as far back as we have written records, going back to Greece, Rome, Persia, and China. And even in my youth, I was never so naive as to believe things were any different today just because we had a Constitution.
Adam Smith didn’t quite get it right. The Invisible Hand exists, all right, it just happens to be rather more material than the metaphysical metaphor for the forces of the free market he imagined.
