It's easy. Are they elected to congress as a senator or representative? Then they are compromised. (Ok, there are a few exceptions, but they get forced out pretty darn quickly.)

RESPONDING TO ELON MUSK'S COMMENT THAT NO MEDIA CARE ABOUT EPSTEIN CLIENTS

Investigative reporter Nick Bryant (who was the first to get Epstein's black book) and I introduce ourselves to Elon Musk as reporters who do care about investigating all things Epstein, including his clients, and explain why he thinks journalists like us do not exist: https://www.bitchute.com/video/JK4S9my7LSAF/

Please distribute widely to spread the word that our invesetigative work on Epstein does, indeed, exist.

Thank you, 
Kristina

Monkey Business: Contract tracing, masks, and vaccines that might or might not work

34 cases reported in the US.  No deaths to be found. Is this condition even serious?  No matter--it's a great excuse for contact tracing! From the Defender:

"Monkeypox “offers a new cause for contact tracing,” Axios reported Tuesday, pointing out that proponents of contact tracing who were disappointed by the tool’s relative lack of effectiveness in mitigating the spread of airborne COVID-19 are now excited about the possibility of putting the technology to use for monkeypox — because the disease is spread through physical contact...


Meanwhile, the efficacy of a monkeypox vaccine is still in question, according to Ira Longini, a biostatistician at the University of Florida who is advising the WHO.
“The truth is, we don’t know the efficacy of any of these monkeypox vaccines,” Longini told Science...

Court Grants Restraining Order Against Journalist For Performing Acts Of Journalism On A Politician
Free Speech
from the what-1st-Amendment-amirite dept
Tue, May 2nd 2023 10:49am - Tim Cushing
Some politicians get elected and think they’re heading up the musical equivalent of vaporware. Just a heads up: you may have more power than you’re used to but it’s constrained by the Constitution: both the one ratified by the nascent US federal government and the one adopted by individual states, which are required to use the federal version for a baseline, rather than a high bar they should never feel compelled to clear.
Constitutions in the US apply to everyone, including the checks and balances that are supposed to ensure politicians don’t wield powers they shouldn’t be wielding. So much for that. An Arizona court has decided to abdicate this responsibility to allow a local politician to shut down a particularly tenacious journalist.
It would seem obvious you can’t ask a court for a restraining order that would prevent a journalist from doing their job. Welcome to Arizona, where rights are whatever this particular court says they are, despite plenty of precedent saying otherwise. Here’s Ray Stern, who has composed a righteously indignant response to a local court ruling, with more details on this latest failure to check and/or balance:
Camryn Sanchez, who covers the state Senate for the Arizona Capitol Times, was the target of an injunction against harassment filed by state Sen. Wendy Rogers, R-Flagstaff, and approved by a Flagstaff judge April 19.

The Private Files of J. Edgar Hoover
The film is a fictionalized chronicle of forty years in the life of FBI director J. Edgar Hoover, from his earliest days in the FBI in the 1920s until his death in 1972. The film is also framed by an opening and closing vignette showing the aftermath of Hoover's death and the mad dash to obtain possession of the "private files" in the title, files that Hoover used to blackmail and extort people in positions of power and authority, to retain leadership of the FBI. The film ultimately shows the Nixon administration attempting and failing to obtain the files and imply that Hoover's blackmail material relating to Nixon was ultimately used by his political enemies to bring down his presidency

Highlights of this module include J. Edgar Hoover's office files; documentation on the FBI's so-called "black bag jobs," as they were called before being renamed "surreptitious entries"; and the "Do Not File" File. The "Do Not File" file consists of records that were originally supposed to be destroyed on FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover's order, however, through both intended and inadvertent exceptions to this order, large portions of these files survived. Another key collection in this module consists of the records of the Subversive Activities Control Board (SACB). The SACB files constitute one of the most valuable resources for the study of left-wing radicalism during the 1950s and 1960s.

Inside the FBI's decades-long effort to court allies in the media
– THE WILSON QUARTERLY
The correspondence unit took the lead in recruiting new “journalist-adjuncts” to the FBI’s side by engaging potentially friendly reporters in a wide-ranging correspondence. As letters were exchanged, Hoover might offer condolences at the loss of a family member or inquire about his correspondent’s wife—on occasion even maintain a separate correspondence with her—all through the pen of a ghost. Hoover met in person with some of his supposed pen pals, but more often than not letters and information leaks sufficed to give the quarry the impression that he was a member of Hoover’s inner circle. Grateful reporters offered up tips and glowing press mentions of the FBI. “Thank God that a man like J. Edgar Hoover is the head of the FBI,” read one ringing endorsement in Th

Below are five of my early articles on this subject. I just screenshot the beginning of each one, to show I was in fact the #2 person (after Dan Sirotkin) to publicly criticize the COVID Proximal Origins paper as bunk. (I was not aware of Dan’s work at the time) and I think JJ Couey told me about Dan.

There’s some backstory to this First Amendment retaliation suit, which explains why certain government employees might have wanted to arrest someone for talking.

The Breathtaking Consequence of Fauci's Confession on COVID-19 Social Distancing: A POLL

JAMES LYONS-WEILER
JAN 18, 2024
In a stunning confession, former NIAID Director Anthony Fauci admitted that the federal public health policy “guidelines” to keep six feet of separation — ostensibly to limit the spread of COVID-19 — “sort of just appeared” without scientific input.
Fauci, 83, made the incredible revelation to the House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic. According to Chairman Brad Wenstrup (R-Ohio), MD, Fauci told lawmakers that the “six feet apart” public health measure was “likely not based on scientific data”.

You know that line, “every accusation is a confession?” For no reason at all, that’s coming to mind all of a sudden. No reason.
Anyway, a decade ago, Henry Farrell and Martha Finnemore wrote a fantastic piece for Foreign Affairs on “The End of Hypocrisy” (which we also wrote about here at Techdirt). They argued that, even as many people mock American hypocrisy around the world, at least the plausible deniability of Americans taking the moral high ground was an incredibly powerful and effective tool of soft pressure. And how it was squandered with each revelation of just how little Americans respected the sovereignty of other nations, and regularly abused our access to internet backbones to spy on others.

Court To Cops: There’s No ‘Instinct Exception’ For Drug Dogs Handlers Refuse To Handle
Legal Issues
from the if-this-were-a-citizen's-dog,-a-cop-would-have-shot-it dept
Tue, Mar 19th 2024 07:59pm - Tim Cushing
Officers who handle drug dogs like to claim they’re so highly skilled at animal handling they can recognize otherwise imperceptible moves by their animals as the dog “alerting,” giving them (and, more literally) their animals free rein to perform warrantless searches of vehicles.
But when these arguments fail, and it’s apparent a K-9 cop just let their animal roam free, these same officers who pride themselves (at least when sworn in as witnesses) in controlling their animals claim these same animals can’t possibly be controlled. After all, the dogs operate on instinct, and who among us is capable of preventing an animal from acting on its urges?
Well, to be honest, all of us are expected to do that. That’s why we can be fined or arrested if our animal runs loose and/or injures someone else. Somehow, cops don’t expect the same standard

The Disinformation Campaign That Has Effectively Destroyed The Ability To Combat Disinformation

Tue, Mar 19th 2024 09:32am - Mike Masnick
We already covered the oral arguments in the Murthy v. Missouri case earlier this week, showing that the Supreme Court appears to be quite skeptical of the arguments by the states regarding the federal government “jawboning” to convince social media to take down certain content. For months now, we’ve been pointing out that the factual record in that case is a mess, driven by conspiracy theorists pushing nonsense. Unfortunately, a few Judges both believed the nonsense and then when they couldn’t rely on it to make their point had to misquote people, quote things out of context, or entirely fabricate parts of quotes in their rulings.
What became abundantly clear in the oral arguments Monday was that multiple justices, including Trump-appointed ones, found the factual record to be suspect and problematic. The crux of the case was effectively (1) the White House made a few public statements in which they were angry about how social media moderated, (2) the companies regularly met with government

Court Tells FBI It Can’t Just Take A US Private Vault Customer’s Money Without Explaining Its Actions
Legal Issues
from the hoisting-the-federal-Jolly-Roger-isn't-enough dept
Wed, Mar 20th 2024 11:24am - Tim Cushing
US Private Vaults is a private company, in multiple senses of the word. Despite the use of the acronym “US,” US Private Vaults is not a government entity. The service it offers aligns roughly with storage services federally insured banks offer: a secure place to hold valuables that is only accessible by those who have keys to the safety deposit boxes.
But there’s a crucial difference: US Private Vaults does not collect or store identifying information about its customers. The company also does not keep a set of duplicate keys. Its service is pretty much end-to-end encryption, but for physical property. The company can’t provide law enforcement with identifying info, nor can it unlock anyone’s storage boxes when presented with a warrant.
Those privacy features led the government to assume anyone seeking to use this service must be a criminal. That was pretty much its argument when it sought a warrant to search a US Private Vaults location in Beverly Hills, California.
However, the FBI told the magistrate that it would not simply take everything it found when it raided this location. Instead, it told a judge it would inventory the contents of any boxes it was able to open and contact box owners to return their property if it could find any identifying information. That’s not what actually happened. The FBI broke its own sworn promise to the magistrate and proceeded to take possession of pretty much every bit of property it found, apparently hoping to use civil forfeiture to retain possession forever.
The FBI was sued multiple times by US Private Vaults customers. In at least one case, a court has ordered the FBI to return the property it specifically told a magistrate judge it wasn’t actually going to take.
Another lawsuit against the FBI is moving forward again, thanks

‘Consent’ Searches Aren’t Doing Anything To Reduce Crime
Legal Issues
from the coercion-can-be-a-cop's-best-friend dept
Tue, Mar 19th 2024 10:53am - Tim Cushing
A lot of police work in the United States is just playing the odds. Roll the dice enough times, and you’re sure to come up a winner now and then. The odds really don’t matter because law enforcement agencies are playing with house money, so being wrong time and time again will never bankrupt them.
Most of this guesswork masquerading as investigative work begins with pretextual stops. Come up with a reason — any reason — to pull someone over and let the games begin. Privacy rights are lower when there’s a car on a public road involved. Probable cause can be obtained by bringing a dog into the mix. Literally anything a driver does or doesn’t do when interacting with an officer can be considered suspicion reasonable enough to continue detaining them.
Even with the guidelines established by the Rodriguez decision (a stop is over
