American Stasi: Tulsi Gabbard Confirms "Quiet Skies" Nightmare
Placed on a terror watch list, the former Hawaii congresswoman and her
husband were tailed by Air Marshals and bomb dogs. "Unconstitutional on
every level," she says. "And I'm not the only one."
Tuesday night, while self-styled Democratic nominee Kamala Harris pledged
to defend “freedom, compassion, and the rule of law” to cheers in
Philadelphia, Hawaii’s Tulsi Gabbard described being tracked by teams of
government agents in a surveillance regime more reminiscent of East
Germany than a free country. Whistleblowing Air Marshals told Uncover DC
Gabbard was singled out as a terror threat under the so-called “Quiet
Skies” program, and the former presidential candidate says she noticed.
“The whistleblowers’ account matches my experience,” says Gabbard.
“Everything lines up to the day.”
This story began two weeks ago, when the former Hawaii congresswoman
returned home after a short trip abroad. In airport after airport, she
and her husband Abraham Williams encountered obstacles. First on a flight
from Rome to Dallas, then a connecting flight to Austin, and later on
different flights for both to cities like Nashville, Orlando, and
Atlanta, their boarding passes were marked with the “SSSS” designation,
which stands for “Secondary Security Screening Selection.” The “Quad-S”
marker is often a sign the traveler has been put on a threat list, and
Gabbard and Williams were forced into extensive “random” searches lasting
as long as 45 minutes.
“It happened every time I boarded,” says Gabbard. The Iraq war veteran
and current Army reservist tends to pack light, but no matter.
“I’ve got a couple of blazers in there, and they’re squeezing every inch
of the entire collar, every inch of the sleeves, every inch of the edging
of the blazers,” she says. “They’re squeezing or padding down underwear,
bras, workout clothes, every inch of every piece of clothing.” Agents
unzipped the lining inside the roller board of her suitcase, patting down
every inch inside the liner. Gabbard was asked to take every piece of
electronics out and turn each on, including her military phone and
computer.
That was the other strange thing. “I use my military ID to get through
security sometimes,” says Gabbard, who among other things traveled to her
reservist base in Oklahoma during this period. Once, she was unable to
get through security with military ID. Transportation Security
Administration (TSA) agent saw the “SSSS” marker. “The TSA agent said,
‘Why are you Quad-S? You’re in the military,’” explains Gabbard. “And I
said, ‘That’s exactly what I’m wondering.’
Gabbard goes on: “Then I said, ‘The only thing I can think of is, I work
in politics.’ And he said, oh.”
The agent told her he’d encountered supporters of a certain former
president who’d had no issues traveling before, but were now “marked
quad-S every time they traveled.” Gabbard shrugged and slogged through,
still encountering extra security. At one flight, she says, there were
“at least six TSA agents doing additional screening,” along with canine
support. “There were dogs in Dallas when we got there, dogs at a couple
of the gates.”
...
Though clearly outraged, Gabbard stresses the important part of her story
isn’t any inconvenience or insult she’s gone through.
“This is not a woe-is-me situation,” she explains. Instead, “it’s
bringing to the forefront… how brazen the political retaliation and abuse
of power continues to be under the Biden-Harris administration.”
...
“I enlisted because of the terrorist attack on 9/11,” Gabbard says. “I
was like a lot of Americans. We enlisted to ensure the safety, security,
and freedom of the American people and go after the terrorists who
attacked us. And so now to have confirmation — I guarantee there are
other men and women in uniform or veterans now being targeted.
“I can’t think of a word that adequately captures how I feel. The closest
I can think of is the deepest sense of betrayal.” She pauses. “It cuts to
the core.”

Tulsi Gabbard is put on a government watch list for a very bizarre reason
A whistleblower watchdog has demanded an investigation into government
surveillance after ex-Democratic Rep. Tulsi Gabbard was labeled a
'domestic terrorist' and put on a watchlist.
Empower Oversight said the U.S. Federal Marshals Service was 'was
improperly targeting individuals for enhanced surveillance' on flights
and named victims including the former presidential candidate.
Meanwhile on Wednesday morning Trump said the Democrat ticket would 'want
this country to go communist immediately.'
His comments come with Harris not having done an interview and avoiding
questions on the campaign trail in the two weeks since Joe Biden dropped
out.

Looks like the moron Kamala Harris is going to use the Biden trick of not campaigning so people don't see how stupid she is.
This is partly why I wanted to use Linux. I don't trust the government
of the Five Eyes Alliance to monitor only those who are truly
terrorists. If anything, I don't expect them to monitor those assholes considering how often they successfully murder people and we later find
out that they were being watched by some agencies. I expect them to spy
on us, those with opposing views.
