Daily Stormer The Most Censored Publication in History
America lost something important today, and hardly anyone heard. The headlines of state-aligned media screech and crow about the nefarious designs of your fellow citizens and the necessity of foreign wars without end, but find few words for a crime against the Constitution. https://t.co/VvgVQcq2NE

My 1st amendment included my bipartisan 4th Amendment is Not for Sale Act (already passed by the House). It would have ended the government’s practice of buying its way around the Bill of Rights by purchasing Americans’ personal data.
Defeated 31-61

Yet again the Senate was asked to consider the question: can liberty be exchanged for security? And sadly the majority of Senators said yes it can.
Final FISA reauthorization passed once again.

Democracy is just a rat cage.
It’s like that Smashing Pumpkins song.
The U.S. Senate voted late on Friday night to approve the reauthorization of a controversial surveillance program, narrowly missing the midnight expiration of the program, and the White House said President Joe Biden would swiftly sign it.
The reauthorization secures what supporters call a key element of U.S. foreign intelligence gathering.
“Democrats and Republicans came together and did the right thing for our country safety,” Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer said.
Yeah, Chuck Schumer, the baby-killing Jew, is just very concerned about the safety of Americans.
If you believe that, I’ve got a bridge I want to sell you. In Baltimore.
FISA has attracted criticism from both Republican and Democratic lawmakers, who argue it violates Americans’ constitutional right to privacy. The bill was blocked three times in the past five months by House Republicans bucking their party, before passing last week by a 273-147 vote when its duration was shortened from five years to two years.
…
Although the right to privacy is enshrined in the U.S. Constitution, foreign nationals’ data gathered by the program often includes communications with Americans, and can be mined by domestic law enforcement bodies such as the FBI without a warrant.
This mention of the “foreign national” is stupid, because it’s anyone who has talked to a foreign national, or anyone who has talked to anyone who has talked to a foreign national. They just open up your email or your apps, and read everything. It’s actually a limitless domestic spying program, to collect all private communications, which goes almost as far as the “secret” and “illegal” NSA programs.
Here are the 60 Senators who—bolstered by a lie about a phony deadline—decided to vote away our Fourth Amendment rights late on a Friday night when no one was paying attention. pic.twitter.com/yUB6vUCh0m
