Florida Rep. Matt Gaetz Backs Effort To Eradicate The Federal Reserve Banking System
@30:00 - About that neocon machine who can organize a reputational kill campaign in under 4 hours…. Now that we know politicized billionaires with hands in federally funded NGO pots can place morality on your commodities and commission paid actors to vandalize US university property, squat in tents while trashing public grounds you can easily understand the following.
US Public-private machines who use their strategic and petty will to cancel or commission the defamation of a US citizen can, will and have commissioned acts of political terrorism on US soil. They rent online influencers, virtual-desk ideological hookers & hoods, to scorn individuals and businesses, defame them and stick them name and shame campaigns for things that are not crimes when they are not law enforcement. All the while, whipping strategic legal lobbies to insert their interests against your personal liberty.

Go tell it on the mountain. Sue the funder. End the mass defamation and anarchist-for-rent terror campaigns. It’s not real speech. It’s autocratic fiction cosplay theater.

NEW: 6+ months ago, I filed a FOIA request w/ CBP seeking the nationalities of people on the terror watchlist arrested by Border Patrol in recent years. CBP now says they will not turn over that data, citing privacy & law enforcement sensitivity exemptions, telling me: “The privacy interests of the individuals in the records you have requested outweigh any minimal public interest in disclosure of the information. Any private interest you may have in that information does not factor into the aforementioned balancing test.”
I did not ask for any names, IDs, addresses, anything that would breach privacy, nor did I ask for any law enforcement sensitive information. I simply requested *only* the nationalities of people arrested on the list, so the public can have an understanding of where in the world they are coming from.
CBP acknowledges in the opening paragraph of their response letter to me that all I asked for was nationalities of those arrested on the terror watchlist - but they then go on to cite exemptions that have nothing to do with what I requested, including medical files, phone numbers, email addresses, home addresses, dates of birth etc, none of which I sought, and they even cite an exemption regarding: “…records which could reasonably be expected to endanger the life or physical safety of any individual.”
I disagree with CBP’s withholding of this data based on exemptions that have nothing to do with my FOIA request, and I will be appealing immediately.
