"Patrick Eddington, a research fellow at Cato, has submitted more than 200 Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests for FBI files on political advocacy groups, civil liberties organizations, think tanks, and publications across the political spectrum. "For about two dozen of those requests so far, the FBI said it could neither confirm or deny whether it had collected national security or foreign intelligence records on the groups. Those organizations include the immigrant rights group Kids in Need of Defense; the Transgender Law Center; former Rep. Ron Paul's (R–Texas) Campaign for Liberty; the grassroots Fourth Amendment advocacy group Restore the Fourth; the Cato Institute; and the Reason Foundation, which publishes Reason.

Hitlery hot mic: "Really pathetic performance by Trump, " "not even a hot war!" - [PEACE] [RT.com]
by Zigga da Bigga Trigga N.gga 09 Jan '20

Hitlery Clinton caught in a hot mic moment last night, lambasts Trump for a "really pathetic performance" since Trump started "not even a hot war". Hillery appeared overly indignant in the face of the de-escalation with Iran, saying she would have "started a war with Russia at least in my first year of presidency, and this luke warm effort by Trump at nearly the end of his first term is pathetic, just pathetic!" "But there's still a chance for WWIII?" asked an offsider hodling her up with two arms supporting her shoulders, to which she responded with a sinister snort, saying "yes, yes my precious, YESSSS!!" The recording ended abryuptly - apparently the clandestine mobile phone which was recording most of the incident, froze solid in that moment and had to be thawed in the sun for over an hour... RT with the chilling details: Shell-shocked pundits come crawling back to Hillary over Trump’s Iran belligerence... forgetting she’d have started war sooner https://www.rt.com/usa/477754-hillary-voters-brag-war-trump/

PsychWars! YOU'VE BEEN DRAFTED!
by Razer 08 Jan '20

08 Jan '20

The U.S. Army is warning about fake text messages saying people have been selected for the military draft. In a statement Tuesday, the Army said that several people around the country have received texts saying they have been drafted or are eligible for the draft. Some texts told the recipients to head to their nearest Army branch “for immediate departure to Iran.” The texts included both real and fake names of Army officials, and warned of fines and jail time for a minimum of six years if there was no reply. Kelli Bland, director of Public Affairs for U.S. Army Recruiting Command, told McClatchy News that their recruiters would not communicate with anyone regarding a draft or registration in the Selective Service. The Selective Service System, which is a separate agency from the Department of Defense, manages registration for the draft. The draft has not been in effect since 1973. The Selective Service System said in a Facebook post Jan. 3 that it is “conducting business as usual.” “In the event that a national emergency necessitates a draft, Congress and the President would need to pass official legislation to authorize a draft,” the post said. Bland said Army security personnel are looking into the origin of the texts. https://www.mcclatchydc.com/news/nation-world/national/article239073053.html

After Trump quickly sent Marines to defend Americans trapped at the embassy, Clinton immediately blasted him for taking such "rash, uncalled-for" action when he could have just "waited around a while to see what happens." ...
