Well, it just gets scarier.  The FBI seems to have no limits.

How deeply is law enforcement interfering in the daily lives of American citizens?

For example, it was recently reported that the FBI labeled Americans who “support the biological basis for sex and gender distinction as potential domestic terrorists.”

Then what? What does the FBI, and those who cooperate with the FBI, do to such Americans?

The FBI and local police keep their specific actions, methods, and technologies mostly secret; thus, one cannot say with certainty what occurs after the FBI labels a person as a potential domestic terrorist.

Americans might study the history of the FBI and local police cooperating with the FBI for hints about what might occur after being labeled as a potential domestic terrorist. One might closely study the “Senate Select Committee to Study Governmental Operations with Respect to Intelligence Activities, 1975-76.” …

***

There is the phenomenon of government officials, particularly those in fear of losing their ability to control others, creating a government entity or technology initially described as being good – say, to protect the citizens from terrorists, communists, gangsters, etc.

The government entity employs millions of people, again attempting to convince the citizens that the secret policing entity or technology is a great thing.

After the technology or government entity is fully operational and widespread, and after millions of people are fully dependent on government welfare disguised as government employment in the secret policing entity, then those few people (who could be in another country) in charge of the government then are able to control the masses.

***

Additionally, the guidelines mention that the FBI is apparently allowed to secretly own and operate businesses and corporations, make “untrue representations” of other peoples’ actions, and engage “in activity having a significant effect on or constituting a significant intrusion into the legitimate operation of a Federal, state, or local governmental entity.”

Does the FBI “engage in activity having a significant effect on” juries, U.S. Congress, the presidency, or the Supreme Court? Does the FBI engage “in activity having a significant effect on or constituting a significant intrusion into the legitimate” national and local elections?

The FBI guidelines apparently also suggest employees and cooperators might “supply falsely sworn testimony or false documentation in any legal or administrative proceeding” and the FBI and others might commit “otherwise illegal activity,” apparently including “violence or physical injury to individuals or a significant risk of financial loss.”

Those guidelines on FBI operations seem to imply that there are many people in cities throughout America employed as secret government operatives who present themselves as everyday citizens but might actually be participating in schemes or “mitigating opportunities.”

I guess this means we can’t trust anyone any more.

But the “bridge disaster” has flushed out all of the conspiracy nut jobs, like a buncha roaches.

a result of a government and media that does nothing but lie 24.7.365 and is actively destroying the entire fabric of the country.

The NTSB spokeswoman (sorry El Gordo) was very impressive. She spoke for at least 30 or 45 minutes non-stop and was extremely thorough and detailed. She covered every question I would have about information her agency may logically have.

I’ve been listening to the live NTSB press conference. I was watching Fox yesterday when a retired senior naval officer and former head of the NTSB was interviewed. He was obviously a conservative and said the NTSB is and may be the last federal agency to be un-politicized. He pointed out the Biden administration appointed the acting head of NTSB… Read more »

Everybody should read this old newspaper clipping about the decision in Baltimore to build a bridge instead of the planned tunnel back in the early 1970s. Approaches for the new tunnel had already been built when some engineer said, “Hey, we could save money with a bridge.”

Ten ships — not including the Dali — are stuck inside the Port of Baltimore, according to a new update by the Bureau of Transportation Statistics. They are comprised of: three bulk carriers, one vehicle carrier, three logistics naval vessels, two general cargo ships and one oil chemical tanker. An additional vehicle carrier is in the port but outside the… Read more »

One serious question arising from the bridge incident is why there were no bollards or other protective structures around the bridge support?

However, Pilots do not necessarily always take the helm. According to an official statement adopted by the Trustees of the American Pilots’ Association in 1997: Navigation of a vessel in U.S. pilotage waters is considered to be a shared responsibility between the pilot and the master/bridge crew. The compulsory state pilot directs the navigation of the vessel subject to the master’s… Read more »

Defining Allision An allision refers to a maritime incident where a moving vessel, such as a ship, boat, or barge, collides with a stationary object or structure. Crucially, in an allision, the object being struck is immobile, and it is the vessel itself that is in motion. This distinction sets allisions apart from collisions, where two or more moving vessels… Read more »

Another shipping note:

Much of the South Asian seaborne traffic that would normally transit the Red Sea/Mediterranean/Atlantic route to the USA, Canada and South America is rerouting to Pacific routes.

Also, Jeff Childers needs to educate himself about how port traffic operates. He doesn’t seem to understand local harbor pilots take over driving the ships from outside the ports to their assigned dock and back out again. Harbor pilots are local and assigned by the Harbor Master. This is standard procedure in every port in the world. Pilots are actually… Read more »

We see smoke come from the ship’s stack shortly after the lights went out the first time. Could it have been nefarious acts carried out by someone on board shifting control from the bridge, then accelerating the ship toward the bridge? Then the lights went out again as someone else attempted to regain control to no avail? We need a… Read more »
