No one is safe

So now Tulsi Gabbard is on the terrorist watchlist. Whistleblowers from the Federal Air Marshals service have come forward to the Air Marshals National Council, a FAM advocacy group and say she is followed onto every flight, even with dogs that sniff out explosives.
If they can put her under surveillance after all her sacrifice in the military and service in Congress, where does that leave the rest of us?
Clearly, we are under a surveillance state much worse than the former USSR or the Nazi regime of Hitlers Germany.
The only difference is technology has made it easier and more thorough.
Apparently, what sparked her inclusion was some remarks criticizing Harris online. So, warning to all, don't criticize Harris online or you may find yourself on the watchlist.

Thread is open. Be careful.

in Washington state. We have 26 candidates for governor. But I diligently read through all the candidate info in the voters pamphlet and picked one that mentioned anti-war and was neither a Democrat or a Republican.
Screw them.
In some of the lessor races I had no choice as they were all Democrats running for that spot or they were all Republicans.
But I did my civic duty, good or bad, helpful or not.

has a good plan when you think about it.
His basic premise is: We need to stop fighting over land and resources here on earth and combine our efforts to break out into space where both are unlimited.
He does have a good point. Each national power here is spending enormous amounts of money for access to space on their own and simply duplicating what every other nation is doing. Combining resources would advance space exploration and exploitation much faster.
But what do I know.
He is running for a Senate seat.

@earthling1 Sounds better than our own "for life" Senators who seem to rubber stamp any/everything the MICC want.

that Kelly would have ideas like Goodspaceguy. But he has been compromised. Part of the blob now.
Heh, the blob. Steve McQueen defeated it. But that one came from outer space. This one is home grown.
Maybe humankind is the malignant, malevolent, soon to be invasive monsters of the galaxy.
Goodspaceguy must be stopped!
Thanks Borg.

3 more months of this shyte and then hopefully we never hear from her again. The most silliest candidate foisted on us. Unfortunately the alternative sucks just as bad, but at least he doesn’t constantly giggle..
Small favors, but at least the PTB didn’t pick Shapiro for her.

What used to be un-American is typical, common, ordinary, nothing-to-see-here American.
The Patriot Act doesn't save lives, it destroys lives.
Telling the truth about a candidate is indicative of dangerous behavior.
Ok. I will lie. Harris is great! Awesome! Qualified for the most powerful position on the globe!
I am starting to think X is not benign.
Have a great day being careful, friends!
Great OT, e1!

I am glad I toured Latvia, Greece, Germany, and Portugal. As for Belgium, friends said once you visited Bruge, it was pretty boring. I am not going to miss much.

if this is their new M.O.
A few drones every few hours, not enough to trigger a massive defensive response of American, British and other allied warplanes and warships like last time, which resulted in the majority of the 300 drones and missiles being intercepted.
Catspaw warfare. A different kind of attrition. Eat away at Israel in little bites, like a cancer.
Time is on the axis of resistance' side.
Six months of air raid sirens and bombs going off 24/7 would bring American style regime change to Israel.
Not that I would offer any suggestions to any of the combatants from my faraway bedroom.
Heh, what do I know?

We know it's not Joe Biden, and we know it's not Kamala Harris. So who?

Someone, in short, gave the order to put Tulsi Gabbard on terrorist watch. Could it be just anyone within the shadow government?

But clearly Tulsi is over the target. She is drawing a lot of flak.
Imagine Tulsi on the same ticket as Stein.
Checks all the boxes and even more. A sane and humane Jew. Two women, both very accomplished. One an academic doctorate, the other holding one of the highest ranks in our military.
And both supporting the wishes of the majority of everyday Americans.
Anybody heard any rumors? Is Tulsi to get the Trump lawfare treatment?
Absolutely nothing would surprise me anymore from this cabal.
