It isn’t a theory when it is a fact. And a conspiracy exists. Collusion. An agenda.

Folks may not want to believe the following or confront reality but America is not how most people imagine it to be. Home of the brave, land of the free. Hasn’t been that way for a long, long time.

It isn’t a theory that sooner than later people will not be able to buy or read the Holy Bible in America. It will require taking great risks and doing so in secrecy, underground, in home churches on the move. Akin to what is taking place right now in many places around the world.

The name of Jesus is either already censored, or if allowed only used in vain.

Don’t believe this?

It will all be here sooner than later.

And if God Almighty in His infinite wisdom and grace by His will gives you breath, a beating heart, eyes to see, ears to hear you may live to see this reality.

There is no privacy. There hasn’t been any for a long, long time. Hey, you all wanted that so-called “peace and security!” right after September 11th, 2001, and no one raised a voice of opposition to the Homeland Security Act or the creation of a Homeland Security Department and granting spy and intelligence agencies such as the National Security Agency, the FBI, the IRS, the CIA and others greater powers and reach circumventing every liberty, freedom, and right provided by our foundational documents, and given to us by Divine Providence.

Eager to sacrifice freedoms and liberties for a false security.

Vainly, foolishly imagining those in power would do what is right and good, as most are under the delusion people are inherently good. When the hearts and minds of men and women work evil all day and night.

Not according to me. According to God, our Creator. You can look of His knowledge, His awareness of the true nature of men and women in His God-breathed Word. The inerrant infallible living Word of God.

But who reads the Bible these days, right? Not when you have a one-verse daily devotional, a one-minute-with-the-Bible, cute calendars, and dodads giving one a sense of being in a relationship with God.

We receive that which we sow.

And judgments are coming, unlike anything that ever has before.

What to do? Repentance would be a wonderful place to begin. True, deep repentance. Fervent prayers not amiss, not asking or demanding things of God for self, but asking that His will be done on this earth, in this nation, His kingdom come, and how can we be of use, fulfilling our purpose for Him ad His kingdom, after He so graciously sacrificed Himself on a cross for lost, in darkness, arrogant, ignorant us prior to our knowledge of Him, our true being born anew, made into a new creature from within by the Holy Spirit, by our faith, our repentance, our confession of our sin, and our obedience.

Don’t live in fear or become paranoid. To the contrary. Live confidently, boldly, fervently for the Lord Jesus Christ and the Word of God, which conquers all evil, all sin, all lies, everything that vainly attempts to suppress the truth of God, of Jesus, of the Holy Spirit, or of the Holy Bible.

What happened folks? Seriously. What happened?

It isn’t too late. It never is until it isn’t.

Time to turn from what has been to what we ought to be.

Not for political, material, or even physical reasons. For the spiritual reasons that will work for good in every other area of life.

And now that the National Security Agency, Department of Homeland Security, the FBI, and the CIA, along with the Secret Service have someone somewhere reading this why not just continue on and you now read it as well?

Conspiracy theory? Hardly when it is based on the fact that there is a conspiracy taking place.

NSA secretly buying Americans’ data without a warrant

Thursday, January 25, 2024

The National Security Agency has secretly been buying Americans’ internet records and using them for spying purposes without obtaining a warrant, a senior senator revealed Thursday.

Sen. Ron Wyden, Oregon Democrat, said the practice had been a “legal gray area,” with data brokers quietly obtaining and reselling the internet “metadata” without the users’ consent. He said the NSA has been trying to keep the whole thing under wraps.

In a letter to Director of National Intelligence Avril Haines, the senator said the government needs a “wake-up call,” and he called for new rules limiting purchases only to data that Americans have consented to be sold.

He also asked for Ms. Haines to take an inventory of what the government already has and toss out any information that doesn’t meet the standard of consent.

“The U.S. government should not be funding and legitimizing a shady industry whose flagrant violations of Americans’ privacy are not just unethical, but illegal,” he said.

He released a letter from Army General Paul M. Nakasone, director of the NSA, detailing and justifying the agency’s actions.

Gen. Nakasone said it acquires what it calls “commercially available information” but said the acquisitions are limited. They don’t include location data from phones “known to be used in the United States,” and they don’t buy or use location data from automobiles in the U.S.

They do buy “non-content” data “where one side of the communication is a U.S. Internet Protocol address and the other is located abroad.”

The general said that information was critical for “the U.S. Defense Industrial Base.”

“NSA understands and greatly values the congressional and public trust it has been granted to carry out its critical foreign intelligence and cybersecurity missions on behalf of the American people,” Gen. Nakasone wrote.

In a separate letter, Under Secretary of Defense Ronald S. Moultrie defended the legality.

“I am not aware of any requirement in U.S. law or judicial opinion … that DoD obtain a court order in order to acquire, access or use information, such as CAI, that is equally available for purchase to foreign adversaries, U.S. companies and private persons as it is to the U.S. government,” he wrote.

Mr. Wyden, though, says the legal landscape may have just changed.

He pointed to the Federal Trade Commission’s action earlier this month against a data broker. In that case, the FTC said the sale of location data is an intrusion into consumers’ lives. The FTC says for data to be collected for resale to government national security agencies, consumers must be told that explicitly.

Mr. Wyden said the same standard applies to other broker-sold information the government is acquiring, such as metadata. Metadata is the hidden information that accompanies communications, such as the source and time.

Mr. Wyden said he’s never found a broker that delivers that comprehensive warning.

The senator previously revealed that the Defense Intelligence Agency was buying commercially available location data that included Americans.
