"In response to the attacks on the #Pentagon and #WorldTradeCenter 22 years ago, the #US showed that there is no tragedy that government can't make worse.

Neoconservatives led a bipartisan push to invade #Afghanistan and #Iraq. Congress passed the Patriot Act. The #FBI stepped up operations targeting Muslims, but also environmental activists. Politicians militarized the police.

The occupations of Iraq and Afghanistan cost nearly a million lives, driving more people to join the jihadists. The rise of the Islamic State a decade later showed that the invasions had only strengthened the forces that neoconservatives claimed to be attacking. The Taliban recapturing Afghanistan in 2021 confirmed the pointlessness of the invasions.

By any metric, the stability of the US government has eroded since 2001. Every time the authorities escalate the conflicts they expose us to and the control they hope to wield over us, they are taking a risk."

…In late 2022, federal investigators pressed #Trump’s #lawyers to turn over any remaining #classified material in TFG’s possession. That prompted his #legal team to hire a #private firm to conduct #searches at several locations, including the N Flagler Dr office….

There is no indication that the #FBI ever searched the premises for #ClassifiedDocuments or other materials that belong to the government under the Presidential Records Act.…

The judges said in their rulings that the platforms changed their policies based on the #FBI briefings, citing updates to their terms of service about handling of #hacked materials, following warnings of #StateSponsored “hack & dump” ops.

The judges also zeroed in on the #FBI’s communications w/#tech platforms in the run-up to the #2020elections, which included regular meetings w/the tech companies. The judges wrote that the FBI’s activities were “not limited to purely foreign threats,” citing instances where the #law enforcement agency “targeted” posts that originated inside the #UnitedStates, including some that stated incorrect poll hours or mail-in voting procedures.

The #5thCircuit panel also limited the govt institutions affected by its #ruling to the WH, the #SurgeonGeneral’s office, the #CDC & the #FBI. It removed restrictions #Doughty had imposed on the depts of State, DHS & HHS & on agencies including the U.S. #Census Bureau, the #NIAID, & the #CISA. The #5thCircuit found that those agencies had NOT coerced the #SocialMedia companies to #moderate their sites.

Business email fraud continues to rise, with the Federal Bureau of Investigation #FBI reporting more than 21,000 complaints with adjusted losses over $2.7 billion.

It only takes a few seconds for the #FBI to install a firmware-based back door, that will persistent through re-installation of the entire system.

“When Elon Musk reportedly spoke of a “great conversation” with Russian President Vladimir Putin, minutes after declaring he could see “the entire war unfolding” through a map of activity on the small satellite constellation he owns, a senior defense official had the following reaction: “Oh dear, this is not good.”
