sufficient arrogance is indisginisable from stupidity.

Arrogance is a form of stupidity.

No, COINTELPRO was a Cold War era FBI covert operations program in which the FBI carried out illegal surveillance, infiltration, harassment, and misinformation programs against domestic political organizations deemed "subversive" by J. Edgar Hoover (which was pretty much everyone he didn't like, including the entire civil rights movement). And no, this wasn't "illegal as in left wing people don't like it", it ran the gamut from surveillance without legally required warrants to falsifying evidence.

While the program was officially terminated in 1971, the term remains in use as something of a generic term for the belief that the government still runs programs like that.

They're not wrong when our data is being collected right now and sold.

COINTELPRO by glowies to take your data and instigate cases to justify their funding.

COINTELPRO by companies and news media for profit.

The collection and sale of data by private entities is not at all comparable to what COINTELPRO did. The only private effort that comes close is the espionage and character assassination program that Scientology ran in the 1970s.

The term specifically refers to *systematic government actions* which definitely happened from 1956 to 1971, and which are alleged to still happen on a smaller scale. Unfortunately, this is a case where something that one would normally write off as a rather extreme conspiracy theory is factually verified to have actually happened.

Keep in mind there was a global cold war going on at the time with the soviet union and the united states fighting wars by proxi and funding disent all over the planet including each others back yards when ever possible all while staring each other down with nuclear weapons.

Some thing like Coin was pretty much envitable, that said there should have been a lot more over sight and more restraint in general.

Wanted.

Wanted.

Too late for them. There's so much video-material, their identities being found and revealed to the world at large is only a matter of time.

You better watch out. You better not cry.

You better not pout cause I'm telling you why.

The FBI is coming to town.

I wouldn't want to be them right about now.

They act like these people aren't costing society millions of dollars themselves, with damage and economic impact.

The FBI is doing their jobs. Get these people. Lock them up.

Now that there's a bigger number of them openly committing crimes we could see an Antifa prison gang.

Well it would be racist to fight against the black gangs.

 

[Arch Dornan]

Well it would be racist to fight against the black gangs.

It's going to be terrible for them or they conform to prison country.

The National Defense Authorization Act of 2012 does apply to both Foreign and Domestic terrorists.

Still a lot of hoops to jump through, trust me.

It does not happen at any form in the government today and is just false info.

I was exaggerating when I said COINTELPRO in the modern times without understanding what it exactly entailed. Modern data collection requires modern solutions not the past.

But I have to be honest. After all I saw I already know privacy is being eroded whether someone likes it or not as people freely give it up like the rioters for instant fame or to the Chinese on Tik Tok.

And the companies sell it for many purposes to find out what makes them tick to manipulate.

The US government is trying to get rid of China from everything.

They definitely should. I'm not speaking of it morally but as a national interest.

Any American who recognises the dangers of handing the keys of America to a foreign power must change course.

 

[Tryglaw]

The US government is trying to get rid of China from everything.

And China and Russia are responding in kind.

Now imagine China drops the USD from it's foreign trade, settling in directly in national currencies of it's trade partners.
Iran already sells oil against Yuan to China, so does Russia.

Heck, imagine Shanghai Cooperation Organisation dropping the USD in favour of settling in national currencies, with their own interbank system replacing SWIFT.

 

[Arch Dornan]

Acting like Alex Jones when a senator got attacked. He's right. They did nothing right until it came to them.

Oh I can imagine it; but the fact of the matter is it won't help them. China's economy especially cannot exist without the support of America.

Oh, I didn't mean "cut US away completely", just "settle non-US trade in non-US currencies"...
