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.
Charlie Kirk. Conservative hero.
Growing the base like no one else.
God bless him.
Charlie Kirk and Turning Point USA are turning out ballot chasers in Maricopa County. To start. Finally, someone on our side trying to play the Democrat turn-out-the-vote game.
Sorta busy day, had one of the 16-y-o cats at the vet for annual checkup, and while he is in good shape for his age, it is time to transition him to more testing for organs like the kidneys that start showing their age sooner than the rest of him. He and his 2 brothers are also going to need… Read more »
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.
so hold my beer.:)
Prof. Mercogliano had another update today. Up until this event, his regular group of Commenters have been a thoughtful, intelligent group. But the “bridge disaster” has flushed out all of the conspiracy nut jobs, like a buncha roaches. What these idiots don’t know about ship operations would fill an ocean. Oh well. Just another great site where I refuse to… Read more »
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 didn’t wait for the press questioning, but I am sure given this performance they must have been really stupid. I’ve… Read more »
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 »
We have a couple our age who are good friends. He’s a conservative and she has always been a hopeless, hardcore lefty.

If she goes into the voting booth… Read more »
Tedtam It was a good and honorable way for Joe to go out. I’m sorry I missed it. I listen to The Cats Roundtable almost everyday on WABC.

OOOOOOO Ronna McDaniel Romney….. she’s hot.
I have on good authority that she is a Van Roth and chili with beans fan. Drives a Ford too and hates Waffle House.
Ronna Delecto Romney proved the deep state swamp alligator will always end up eating you. she got fired from the rnc and gladly joined the mr potato head-propagandist-mockingbird msdnc media. Subsequently she was practically forced to kneel and proclaim the wooden dummy was legitimately elected but the gator feasted on her carcass anyway and she got fired. no crocodile tears… Read more »
I see on Newsmax that Sen. Lieberman has passed away at age 82. He was a lib, and I disagreed with him on a lot of things, but he was one of the few Democrats that I respected. I think he had integrity and was able to at least listen to his opposition.
RIP, sir.
Interesting discussion on secondary cancers. Sure makes me think about treatment if I ever find myself in that situation.

Hot off the ticker tape——- NWS predicts 25 hurricanes possible this year.
The polls are all lies like everything else from the cia run, mr potato head propagandist mockingbird media. they had the wooden dummy up by 20 points in Wisconsin in 2020 and he actually lost Wisconsin until they stole it back. they lie all the time. Look no further than the recent past. I listed many yesterday. and as far… Read more »
Cher says she will leave the US if Trump is elected. I thought she was dead.
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?
When I was a young, 23 year old welder working on barges on the Houston Ship Channel, I really wanted to get licensed and train as a Harbor Pilot. When I asked my shipyard owner boss about it, he asked me if I had a brother, uncle or cousin in the Pilots’ Association. I said no and his reply was:… Read more »
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.
I found out the local hardware store has good sized seedlings for less than $2.00. Compare that to $5-$7 at some other locations. It does, however, have a very limited selection, but they had what I wanted, so it’s all good. I also dropped off my donations to Mr. Carmel for the Knights’ upcoming auction fundraiser. A handful of rosaries… Read more »
Comparison of Port Container Traffic:
Baltimore – 850,000 TEUs / Houston 4,000,000 TEUs plus
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 »
I am calling BS on the CNN report quoted by Jeff Childers about supply chain collapse from the incident in Baltimore. The whole shipping world has changed since the extended drought in Panama has choked down that key Pacific to Gulf to Atlantic passage. I watched an interview with a Maersk executive early this morning in which he described their… Read more »
I got the title to my Kubota RTV X1120 in the mail and I noticed that the dude bought it new in May of 2020, made his last payment in March 2023 and immediately traded it for a new one?!?! So could he just not stand being without a payment? These younger folks amaze me.I always tried to NOT have… 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 »
A couple of paragraphs from C&C’s commentary on the bridge collapse: Believe it or not, the Francis Scott Key bridge is a critical part of the entire nation’s supply chain. Its catastrophic collapse cannot possibly be repaired for years. Officials are already talking about significant damage to our country’s supply chain, increased costs for consumer goods and energy, and so forth. It… Read more »

I’m going to read the C&C and then head out for a little bit. Gonna drop off some rosaries and customized coffee cups to my old parish for their fundraiser auction. Then off to our unit be renovated to see how it’s going. I may swing by the nearby hardware store to see if they still have seeds and plants… Read more »
I, for one, welcome the benefits our FBI overlords provide us.
Oh boy here we go. Sudden turn says Cyberattack, DEI, or something worse? Okay my turn. We did not see what we saw. A ship did not hit the bridge. Ships cannot bring down bridges. The workers on the bridge were planting explosive and someone touched off the explosives. The bridge was supposed to be brought down next 4th of… Read more »
Texpat 9:33,
Agree with your post.
Tedtam 8:37,
Agree with your post.
Tedtam’s comment and reference to the International Maritime Organization (IMO) yesterday aroused my curiosity and I started looking around. The IMO is a 100% owned and operated United Nations industrial trade group whose members constitute 90% of all global trade. The leftist nations, the incorrigible EU and countries, 3rd and 4th world, are all for this tax on ocean shippers.… Read more »
