Disinformation as Disseminated by the FBI

The other day, I had a disagreement with my husband -- a rare event.  

I had fallen asleep on the couch, after which he had turned on a device in the living room which is not working properly -- and in this state is known to have harmful health effects.

On discovering this, I became upset and asked my husband why he would harm an unconscious person.

He replied that he had never intended to cause harm of any kind.

On and on we went until we reached a loving resolution.

What happens to such a conversation in the hands of the FBI?

The most incriminating sentences possible are extracted from the dialogue, and then re-arranged with other segments of dialogue from other conversations to create an interaction that never happened.

In the midst of our argument, I asked my husband why he would choose to harm a sleeping person.

One can only imagine the ways in which this segment of dialogue could be misused in the hands of a malevolent person drawing pay from the FBI for the express purpose of creating disinformation about "targets of interest" and their families.

The FBI and its affiliates are actively creating and disseminating defamatory disinformation on the basis of exactly this kind of private dialogue occurring in private settings between law-abiding American citizens across the United States -- and Americans are unaware that it is happening.

Through the broad and unconsitutional dissemination of Pegasus software by the FBI to its contractors, Americans are being actively surveilled through their cell phones even when their homes have not been invaded by the types of surveillance equipment that has been unlawfully placed in my own home as a "target of interest."

The FBI and its contractors are harvesting those private conversations, in a very real sense, in order to create a backlog of seemingly incriminating information about everyone.

In other words, knowingly falsified law enforcement reporting created and aggregated with the express intent of wielding unconstitutional control over individual citizens is being actively perpetrated by the FBI with the support of the national treasury to fund that process.

What is the first casualty of this reality?

Free speech.

Once you comprehend that you have been, as a law-abiding American citizen, deprived of your right to privacy, nothing is the same.  It is not possible to joke with one's family in the same way.  It is not possible to disagree in the same way.  It is not possible to be silly and creative and spontaneous and unselfconscious in the same way.

When criminal members of the FBI are violating the very core tenants of the Constitution in order to lie about law-abiding members of the American public for anti-democratic objectives, the losses for our families, our communities, and, indeed, our nation, become incalculable.

That's why the FBI's engagement in the creation, storage and distribution of those lies must stop.

That's why the nature of the FBI's betrayal of the public trust must be revealed.

That's why the truth of the FBI's crimes must be fully characterized before this agency succeeds in destroying the Constitutional freedoms that have heretofore rendered us free.
