Did you think there was something wrong with the 2020 election? If you do, did you say anything on Facebook about your doubts? You could be in big trouble with the FBI. According to a story in the New York Post, September 14, 2022, “Facebook has been spying on the private messages and data of American users and reporting them to the FBI if they express anti-government or anti-authority sentiments — or question the 2020 election — according to sources within the Department of Justice.
Under the FBI collaboration operation, somebody at Facebook red-flagged these supposedly subversive private messages over the past 19 months and transmitted them in redacted form to the domestic terrorism operational unit at FBI headquarters in Washington, DC, without a subpoena.
‘It was done outside the legal process and without probable cause,’ alleged one of the sources, who spoke on condition of anonymity.
‘Facebook provides the FBI with private conversations which are protected by the First Amendment without any subpoena.’
These private messages then have been farmed out as ‘leads’ to FBI field offices around the country, which subsequently requested subpoenas from the partner US Attorney’s Office in their district to officially obtain the private conversations that Facebook already had shown them.
‘It was a waste of our time,’ said one source familiar with subpoena requests lodged during a 19-month frenzy by FBI headquarters in Washington, DC, to produce the caseload to match the Biden administration’s rhetoric on domestic terrorism after the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riot.
The Facebook users whose private communications Facebook had red-flagged as domestic terrorism for the FBI were all ‘conservative right-wing individuals.’
‘They were gun-toting, red-blooded Americans [who were] angry after the election and shooting off their mouths and talking about staging protests. There was nothing criminal, nothing about violence or massacring or assassinating anyone.
‘As soon as a subpoena was requested, within an hour, Facebook sent back gigabytes of data and photos. It was ready to go. They were just waiting for that legal process so they could send it.’
Facebook denied the allegations yesterday.
In two contrasting statements sent one hour apart, Erica Sackin, a spokesperson at Facebook’s parent company, Meta, claimed Facebook’s interactions with the FBI were designed to ‘protect people from harm.’
In her first statement, she said: ‘These claims are false because they reflect a misunderstanding of how our systems protect people from harm and how we engage with law enforcement. We carefully scrutinize all government requests for user information to make sure they’re legally valid and narrowly tailored and we often push back. We respond to legal requests for information in accordance with applicable law and our terms and we provide notice to users whenever permitted.’
In a second, unprompted ‘updated statement,’ sent 64 minutes later, Sackin altered her language to say the claims are ‘wrong,’ not ‘false.’
‘These claims are just wrong. The suggestion we seek out peoples’ private messages for anti-government language or questions about the validity of past elections and then proactively supply those to the FBI is plainly inaccurate and there is zero evidence to support it,’ said Sackin, a DC-based crisis response expert who previously worked for Planned Parenthood and ‘Obama for America’ and now leads Facebook’s communications on “counterterrorism and dangerous organizations and individuals.”

The Facebook spokeswoman didn’t tell us how reporting these people to the FBI was supposed to protect them from harm.
Even if there was no basis for the charge that the 2020 election was rigged, people who think that it was have a right to express their opinions. That’s how a free society works. But of course the lunatic and criminal left knows that the election deniers are correct. That’s why they are so anxious to suppress them. They know that if enough people are exposed to the truth, and the deniers’ arguments are looked at fairly, this could blow the brain-dead Biden government out of the water. That’s why they want to prevent to truth from coming out.
As the late great Bill Sardi pointed out, the fraudsters privately admitted what they had done, using veiled language they thought patriots wouldn’t be able to figure out. “Molly Ball, biographer for House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and political writer for Time Magazine, pens these self-indicting words in the Jan 15, 2021 issue of Time Magazine:
‘There was a conspiracy unfolding behind the scenes, one that both curtailed the protests and coordinated the resistance from CEOs. Both surprises were the result of an informal alliance between left-wing activists and business titans. The pact was formalized in a terse, little-noticed joint statement of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and AFL-CIO published on Election Day. Both sides would come to see it as a sort of implicit bargain–inspired by the summer’s massive, sometimes destructive racial-justice protests–in which the forces of labor came together with the forces of capital to keep the peace and oppose Trump’s assault on democracy.
‘The handshake between business and labor was just one component of a vast, cross-partisan campaign to protect the election–an extraordinary shadow effort dedicated not to winning the vote but to ensuring it would be free and fair, credible and uncorrupted.
‘They got states to change voting systems and laws and helped secure hundreds of millions in public and private funding…. They successfully pressured social media companies to take a harder line against disinformation and used data-driven strategies to fight viral smears.
‘This is the inside story of the conspiracy to save the 2020 election, based on access to the group’s inner workings, never-before-seen documents and interviews with dozens of those involved from across the political spectrum. It is the story of an unprecedented, creative and determined campaign whose success also reveals how close the nation came to disaster.
‘That’s why the participants want the secret history of the 2020 election told, even though it sounds like a paranoid fever dream–a well-funded cabal of powerful people, ranging across industries and ideologies, working together behind the scenes to influence perceptions, change rules and laws, steer media coverage and control the flow of information. They were not rigging the election; they were fortifying it.
‘The Fight Back Table, a coalition of ‘resistance’ organizations, had begun scenario-planning around the potential for a contested election, gathering liberal activists at the local and national level into what they called the Democracy Defense Coalition.
‘Protecting the election would require an effort of unprecedented scale.’”
The left conspiracy to suppress the truth about the election depends on the mass media, which denounce any attempt to expose the fraud. Paul Craig Roberts neatly skewers the media: “The Presstitutes Speak With One Voice. They are unanimous that there was no vote fraud committed by Democrats and that a record number of Americans voted for a president suffering from mental confusion whose campaign rallies went unattended.
If the presstitutes are so confident that there is no evidence to back the legal challenges, why are the prostitutes working overtime to discredit the challenges in advance? All presstitutes are in denial that there is any evidence of fraud. Why not just wait for the challenges to fail? Why all the whistling in the dark?

The Boston Globe, for example, claims that no election officials doubt the validity of the vote and that Trump ‘has launched a series of long-shot legal challenges in several state aimed at casting doubt on election results, despite no evidence of voter fraud.’
Even the financial news site, Bloomberg, has falsely declared that there is ‘no evidence of wrongdoing.’ How can the media know until the charges are investigated?
If fraud is not a possibility, why has the Georgia Secretary of State ordered a hand recount of the presidential race?
Why did Supreme Court Justice Alito order Pennsylvania election officials to segregate and separately count ballots that arrived after election day? Alito ordered the late ballots be kept ‘in a secure, safe and sealed container separate from other voted ballots.’
If there is no evidence of fraud, what is the point of such an order?
If there is no fraud, what is the basis of the legal challenges being filed by White House Counsel Giuliani? A former US Attorney who presided over high profile cases is not going to squander his reputation by filing legal challenges with no evidence.
There is plenty of evidence. The only question is whether the Republican Party and the courts have the stomach for the devastating blow to America’s reputation of proving that the Democrats with the complicity of the media stole a presidential election. The Republicans might be more inclined to protect America’s reputation than Trump’s presidency, and the courts could worry that establishing election theft would undermine Americans’ confidence in their system and lead to political instability.
Leaders have had to deal with these kinds of concerns before. Everyone on the Warren Commission knew that Oswald was not the assassin of President Kennedy, and the 9/11 Commission knew that the official story was false. The 9/11 commission chairman, co-chairman, and legal counsel later wrote books in which they said that information was withheld from them and that the committee was set up to fail.

It was impossible to tell the public in the wake of the Cuban Missile Crisis with the Soviet Union that their president had been assassinated by the US Joint Chiefs and CIA with the complicity of the Secret Service. The Warren Commission understood completely that destroying the public’s confidence in military and security leaders at a time of such tension with the Soviet Union would have been disastrous. The same for 9/11. The commission was not under any circumstances going to tell the public that it was a false flag attack necessary to launch two decades of war in the Middle East.
It is certainly the case that red state America knows the election was stolen, so withholding known information is not going to prevent a split in the country. It will simply make it worse by giving red state America proof that the system is broken and cannot be fixed.
Nevertheless, Republicans and courts might not realize this, and even if they do they might not want to be the ones who pull the trigger.
Karl Marx said that audacity, if audacious enough, works, and Lenin proved it. This, I believe, is what the Democrats and presstitutes are relying on.”

If we spread the word about this fraud, we can strike a blow at the soft underbelly of brain-dead Biden and his cohorts. This is what the great and heroic Murray Rothbard would want us to do.

Five Things New “Preppers” Forget When Getting Ready for Bad Times Ahead
The preparedness community is growing faster than it has in decades. Even during peak times such as Y2K, the economic downturn of 2008, and Covid, the vast majority of Americans made sure they had plenty of toilet paper but didn’t really stockpile anything else.
Things have changed. There’s a growing anxiety in this presidential election year that has prompted more Americans to get prepared for crazy events in the future. Some of it is being driven by fearmongers, but there are valid concerns with the economy, food supply, pharmaceuticals, the energy grid, and mass rioting that have pushed average Americans into “prepper” mode.
There are degrees of preparedness. One does not have to be a full-blown “doomsday prepper” living off-grid in a secure Montana bunker in order to be ahead of the curve. In many ways, preparedness isn’t about being able to perfectly handle every conceivable situation. It’s about being less dependent on government for as long as possible. Those who have proper “preps” will not be waiting for FEMA to distribute emergency supplies to the desperate masses.
Below are five things people new to preparedness (and sometimes even those with experience) often forget as they get ready. All five are common sense notions that do not rely on doomsday in order to be useful. It may be nice to own a tank during the apocalypse but there’s not much you can do with it until things get really crazy. The recommendations below can have places in the lives of average Americans whether doomsday comes or not.
Note: The information provided by this publication or any related communications is for informational purposes only and should not be considered as financial advice. We do not provide personalized investment, financial, or legal advice.
Secured Wealth
Whether in the bank or held in a retirement account, most Americans feel that their life’s savings is relatively secure. At least they did until the last couple of years when de-banking, geopolitical turmoil, and the threat of Central Bank Digital Currencies reared their ugly heads.
It behooves Americans to diversify their holdings. If there’s a triggering event or series of events that cripple the financial systems or devalue the U.S. Dollar, wealth can evaporate quickly. To hedge against potential turmoil, many Americans are looking in two directions: Crypto and physical precious metals.
There are huge advantages to cryptocurrencies, but there are also inherent risks because “virtual” money can become challenging to spend. Add in the push by central banks and governments to regulate or even replace cryptocurrencies with their own versions they control and the risks amplify. There’s nothing wrong with cryptocurrencies today but things can change rapidly.
As for physical precious metals, many Americans pay cash to keep plenty on hand in their safe. Rolling over or transferring retirement accounts into self-directed IRAs is also a popular option, but there are caveats. It can often take weeks or even months to get the gold and silver shipped if the owner chooses to close their account. This is why Genesis Gold Group stands out. Their relationship with the depositories allows for rapid closure and shipping, often in less than 10 days from the time the account holder makes their move. This can come in handy if things appear to be heading south.
Lots of Potable Water
One of the biggest shocks that hit new preppers is understanding how much potable water they need in order to survive. Experts claim one gallon of water per person per day is necessary. Even the most conservative estimates put it at over half-a-gallon. That means that for a family of four, they’ll need around 120 gallons of water to survive for a month if the taps turn off and the stores empty out.
Being near a fresh water source, whether it’s a river, lake, or well, is a best practice among experienced preppers. It’s necessary to have a water filter as well, even if the taps are still working. Many refuse to drink tap water even when there is no emergency. Berkey was our previous favorite but they’re under attack from regulators so the Alexapure systems are solid replacements.
For those in the city or away from fresh water sources, storage is the best option. This can be challenging because proper water storage containers take up a lot of room and are difficult to move if the need arises. For “bug in” situations, having a larger container that stores hundreds or even thousands of gallons is better than stacking 1-5 gallon containers. Unfortunately, they won’t be easily transportable and they can cost a lot to install.
Water is critical. If chaos erupts and water infrastructure is compromised, having a large backup supply can be lifesaving.
Pharmaceuticals and Medical Supplies
There are multiple threats specific to the medical supply chain. With Chinese and Indian imports accounting for over 90% of pharmaceutical ingredients in the United States, deteriorating relations could make it impossible to get the medicines and antibiotics many of us need.
Stocking up many prescription medications can be hard. Doctors generally do not like to prescribe large batches of drugs even if they are shelf-stable for extended periods of time. It is a best practice to ask your doctor if they can prescribe a larger amount. Today, some are sympathetic to concerns about pharmacies running out or becoming inaccessible. Tell them your concerns. It’s worth a shot. The worst they can do is say no.
If your doctor is unwilling to help you stock up on medicines, then Jase Medical is a good alternative. Through telehealth, they can prescribe daily meds or antibiotics that are shipped to your door. As proponents of medical freedom, they empathize with those who want to have enough medical supplies on hand in case things go wrong.
Energy Sources
The vast majority of Americans are locked into the grid. This has proven to be a massive liability when the grid goes down. Unfortunately, there are no inexpensive remedies.
Those living off-grid had to either spend a lot of money or effort (or both) to get their alternative energy sources like solar set up. For those who do not want to go so far, it’s still a best practice to have backup power sources. Diesel generators and portable solar panels are the two most popular, and while they’re not inexpensive they are not out of reach of most Americans who are concerned about being without power for extended periods of time.
Natural gas is another necessity for many, but that’s far more challenging to replace. Having alternatives for heating and cooking that can be powered if gas and electric grids go down is important. Have a backup for items that require power such as manual can openers. If you’re stuck eating canned foods for a while and all you have is an electric opener, you’ll have problems.
Don’t Forget the Protein
When most think about “prepping,” they think about their food supply. More Americans are turning to gardening and homesteading as ways to produce their own food. Others are working with local farmers and ranchers to purchase directly from the sources. This is a good idea whether doomsday comes or not, but it’s particularly important if the food supply chain is broken.
Most grocery stores have about one to two weeks worth of food, as do most American households. Grocers rely heavily on truckers to receive their ongoing shipments. In a crisis, the current process can fail. It behooves Americans for multiple reasons to localize their food purchases as much as possible.
Long-term storage is another popular option. Canned foods, MREs, and freeze dried meals are selling out quickly even as prices rise. But one component that is conspicuously absent in shelf-stable food is high-quality protein. Most survival food companies offer low quality “protein buckets” or cans of meat, but they are often barely edible.
Prepper All-Naturals offers premium cuts of steak that have been cooked sous vide and freeze dried to give them a 25-year shelf life. They offer Ribeye, NY Strip, and Tenderloin among others.
Having buckets of beans and rice is a good start, but keeping a solid supply of high-quality protein isn’t just healthier. It can help a family maintain normalcy through crises.
Prepare Without Fear
With all the challenges we face as Americans today, it can be emotionally draining. Citizens are scared and there’s nothing irrational about their concerns. Being prepared and making lifestyle changes to secure necessities can go a long way toward overcoming the fears that plague us. We should hope and pray for the best but prepare for the worst. And if the worst does come, then knowing we did what we could to be ready for it will help us face those challenges with confidence.

What’s “Facebook”?
😉
The reason I post under a pseudonym, using an email address that is randomized and untraceable, through a VPN service that does not keep logs (and a few other security measures I won’t share) is because I post TRUTH.
Truth like:
– gender identity is delusion and not based on science
– “trans”gender is a scientific (biological, genetic) impossibility
– gender and biological sex are EXACTLY the same thing. And always have been
– at the moment of conception a unique HUMAN life is formed. This life (like our own) requires a specific environment and nutrition to thrive. Willfully damaging feeding them poison or removing them from their sustaining environment without preparation for surviving in their new environment is MURDER
– climate change is NOT at the mercy of CO2 concentrations in the atmosphere
– CO2 levels created by man are INCAPABLE of impacting anything related to CO2 concentrations as humans only contribute 4% of all the CO2 there is (96% is naturally caused/occurring), and CO2 is only 0.04% of the atmosphere.
– democrats are the domestic enemy of the United States, its citizens, and its Constitution
– the COVID “epidemic” was an overblown hoax (claims that the flu took a 2 year hiatus during the pandemic is ludicrous and lends credibility to the claim that MUCH of what was diagnosed as “COVID” was actually the flu)
– the claimed death rate for COVID has been massively inflated: the NET INCREASE in deaths from all causes during the height of the pandemic was STATISTICALLY ZERO. The same number of people died that year as die every year.
– the mRNA jabs are NOT vaccines, do NOT actually prevent the disease, do NOT decrease severity of the disease, and are NOT safe as they cause autoimmune reactions and disorders at an alarming rate
Truth like that.
Truth is not afraid of examination, able to defend itself against lies.
But those telling the truth sometimes have to obfuscate their identities so they can continue to tell the truth.

You nailed it.
Today, almost exactly six weeks before the midterm election, Facebook locked my account(s) and demanded a copy of my gov’t issued ID to unlock them (which ain’t happening). This was very out-of-the-blue. I’ve had these accounts (including Messenger) for over 12 years.
Why do you suppose they took this action?
Wow, nice job tying in a simple election fraud/coup into those deeper hardcore conspiracies…
really makes election integrity people look more nutty.
‘Facebook provides the FBI with private conversations which are protected by the First Amendment without any subpoena.’
This is simply not true.
Every time you log onto Facebook, you agree to the TOS. You agree to give any and all ownership of anything and everything you post on or through Facebook to Facebook. That pic you posted of your grandkid? FB owns it now and has right to use it if they choose to.
Nothing you do on Facebook is protected by the First Amendment, as Facebook is not the government, and the 1st restricts the Government.
What Facebook is actually doing is; along with the FBI, is skating around the 4th amendment to illegal search and seizure. FB is acting on behalf of the FBI. BestBuy was busted doing this a few years ago on people laptops sent in for repair.
One has to ask. As hard as the left is going at blocking voter problem investigations, you would think they would have used the media and big tech to overturn 2016 with the same said investigations. The reason they don’t, is that they cheated like hell in that one and still lost and they do not want any investigations to show that. In 2020 they went even harder and won by some 160,000+- votes (in states that spent weeks counting which has never before been seen)out of 150 million cast. All I can say, is you ain’t seen nothing yet. I wouldn’t be surprised if they win super majorities in both houses and flip half the red states to blue.
A corporation working ‘hand in glove’ with the government is Mussolini type fascism.
I shut down my fascistbook account over a years ago because they suspended me for calling harris what she is, a WHORE. These fascists can all pound it and kiss off.
That’s fine… what this means is the biggest election deniers, the left and the Dem’s, can NO LONGER CONTEST ANY ELECTION… denying the results of an election is now UN-AMERICAN (their words, not mine)… So, we must now force them to live by the same standard. What this means is that stealing an election just became very simple. I hope the Republicans are paying attention… I’m a member of NO party… but, what’s sauce for the goose, is sauce for the gander. It’s only fair, it seems, if both sides cheat equally. A pox on all politicians and their corrupt parties.
