Department of Transportation Looking Into Disabling Cars At-Will

Biden’s Department of Transportation (DOT) has started the process of implementing a device mandate in all new cars that would spy on driving and have the ability to disable cars. Mandating a kill switch in vehicles would be the death of automobile and travel autonomy. While the left claims this is a way to cut down on drunk driving, there is no language specifically addressing the reading of blood alcohol levels.

Department of Transportation Looking Into Disabling Cars At-Will

The Biden administration is trying to be a “backseat driver” by encroaching on our property and privacy rights. The Department of Transportation (DOT) has started the process of implementing a device mandate in all new cars that would spy on our driving and have the ability to disable the car. Mandating a kill switch in our vehicles would be the death of our automobile autonomy.

In 2021, House Democrats passed a “woke” infrastructure bill into law that drove the nation billions of dollars further into debt while aggressively promoting Green New Deal policies. One of those policies buried deep into the text was a way for the federal government to control our vehicles. The law explicitly calls for automobile manufacturers to include in every car a system to “passively monitor the performance of a driver of a motor vehicle to accurately identify whether that driver may be impaired” and will “prevent or limit motor vehicle operation if an impairment is detected.” In other words, the feds will mandate that your new car be equipped with technology to prevent you from starting or even force your car to be shut off if the device senses a difference in your driving.

While the left claims this is a way to cut down on drunk driving, there is no language specifically addressing the reading of blood alcohol levels. The language is so broad, that your car could shut down simply from swerving to miss something in the road or misreading a new driver’s practice as “impaired driving.” If a car is disabled because of this feature, it could become a hazard on the highway or leave someone stranded in poor conditions. Once these devices are mandated in all cars, the expense will be borne by consumers, not the federal government or the manufacturer. All of these problematic issues have not been addressed, yet the DOT is beginning the process of mandating every new car be equipped with such technology.

You can make your voice heard as the DOT begins the process of drafting a kill switch rule by submitting a comment. We have provided you a sample comment, but recommend you take the following talking points to draft your own submission. When a comment differs from others, the DOT must read and respond to each individual comment.

Submit your comments before March 5th to let them know that you oppose this regulation.

Satellites Invading Privacy: When Eyes in the Sky Start Looking Right at You

Albedo Space is creating satellites for overhead surveillance that have ability to invade privacy in areas once seen as intrinsically off limits, such as your backyard. The company claims it will image people, but will not identify them. It may be possible to identify vehicles. Albedo Space was criticized for being a “giant camera in the sky for any government to use at any time without our knowledge.” Albedo plans to launch its first satellite in early 2025. Investors in Albedo include Breakthrough Energy Ventures, the investment firm of Bill Gates. Albedo’s strategic advisory board includes former directors of the CIA and the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency, an arm of the Pentagon.

Albedo aims to image objects as small as 10 centimeters, or four inches. The technology became possible because the Trump administration in 2018 took steps to relax the regulations that govern civil satellite resolution. Albedo’s website says its imagery can help governments “monitor hotspots, eliminate uncertainty, and mobilize with speed.” 

.

For decades, privacy experts have been wary of snooping from space. They feared satellites powerful enough to zoom in on individuals, capturing close-ups that might differentiate adults from children or suited sunbathers from those in a state of nature.

Now, quite suddenly, analysts say, a startup is building a new class of satellite whose cameras would, for the first time, do just that.

“We’re acutely aware of the privacy implications,” Topher Haddad, head of Albedo Space, the company making the new satellites, said in an interview. His company’s technology will image people but not be able to identify them, he said. Albedo, Mr. Haddad added, was nonetheless taking administrative steps to address a wide range of privacy concerns.

Anyone living in the modern world has grown familiar with diminishing privacy amid a surge security cameras, trackers built into smartphones, facial recognition systems, drones and other forms of digital monitoring. But what makes the overhead surveillance potentially scary, experts say, is its ability to invade areas once seen as intrinsically off limits.

“This is a giant camera in the sky for any government to use at any time without our knowledge,” said Jennifer Lynch, general counsel of the Electronic Frontier Foundation, who in 2019 urged civil satellite regulators to address this issue. “We should definitely be worried.”

Against that concern, Mr. Haddad and other supporters of Albedo’s technology say real benefits must be weighed, especially when it comes to fighting disasters and saving lives.

“You’ll know which house is on fire and where the people are fleeing,” said D. James Baker, a former head of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, which licenses the nation’s civilian imaging satellites.

Based in the Denver area, Albedo Space has 50 employees and has raised roughly $100 million. It plans to launch its first satellite in early 2025, Mr. Haddad said. Ultimately, he foresees a fleet of 24 spacecraft

Investors in Albedo include Breakthrough Energy Ventures, the investment firm of Bill Gates. Albedo’s strategic advisory board includes former directors of the C.I.A. and the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency, an arm of the Pentagon.

The company’s website makes no mention of imaging people, or the privacy issues. Even so, reconnaissance experts say regulators should wake up before its spacecraft start taking their first close-ups.

“It’s a big deal,” said Linda Zall, a former C.I.A. official whose decades-long career involved some of the nation’s most powerful spy satellites. The capabilities will hit home, she predicted, when people realize that things they’re trying to hide in their backyards can now be observed with new clarity. “Privacy is a real issue,” Dr. Zall said.

“It’s taking us one step closer to a Big-Brother-is-watching kind of world,” added Jonathan C. McDowell, a Harvard astrophysicist who publishes a monthly report on civilian and military space developments.

While spacecraft in orbit have long studied the planet, the potential for civilian life to be surveilled by satellites was driven home by the Chernobyl nuclear disaster. Moscow had denied any serious trouble. But a nonmilitary American satellite took a picture on April 29, 1986, showing that the reactor’s core had ruptured in a fiery breach that was spewing deadly radioactive debris into the atmosphere.

The American news media released the image. It confirmed a disaster, helped start the field of satellite journalism and — almost immediately — stoked fears of snooping from space.

“The quality of the pictures is expected to improve rapidly,” Privacy Journal, a monthly newsletter published in Washington, warned shortly after the atomic disaster. Television news directors, it said, were now seeking to gain unfettered access to space images that could ultimately track everything from troop movements to backyard Jacuzzis.

The visual power of a space camera is usually expressed as the length, in meters, of the smallest feature it can resolve. The figure for early cameras was meters. Now it’s centimeters. Overall, experts say, that improvement makes the new images hundreds of times more detailed and revealing.

The satellite that imaged Chernobyl in 1986 was known as Landsat. NASA built it to monitor crops, forests and other resources on the ground. The craft’s orbit was roughly 400 miles up, and its camera could make out ground objects as small as 30 meters. In contrast, the Chernobyl complex was nearly a kilometer in length. So analysts could easily see it and the exploded reactor.

After the Cold War, in 1994, the Clinton administration approved the commercial use of American spy technology. By 1999, Space Imaging, a subsidiary of Raytheon and Lockheed Martin, launched its first satellite. It had a resolving power of one meter. The New York Times displayed the satellite’s first image atop its front page. The Washington Monument stood out clearly, its shadow long in the morning light.

As predicted, pictures from orbit have continually improved in quality, aiding news reporting on wars, refugees, secret bases, human rights abuses, environmental destruction, natural disasters and military buildups.

In 2016, The Associated Press won a Pulitzer Prize for uncovering labor abuses in the seafood industry that amounted to slavery. Its journalists used satellite images to track industry ships. Many news organizations, including The Times, now employ specialists skilled in the analysis of satellite imagery.

Mark Brender, a satellite journalism pioneer, noted that reporters on the ground can be harassed and blocked. “But cameras in space are safe from those kinds of pressures,” he said. “They’ve become as indispensable to a free society as a hand-held camera or a printing press.”

Today, the most powerful civilian imaging satellites can differentiate objects on the ground as small as 30 centimeters, or about a foot in diameter. The images let analysts discern road markings and even aircraft tail numbers.

Albedo aims to leap ahead by imaging objects as small as 10 centimeters, or four inches. That became possible because the Trump administration in 2018 took steps to relax the regulations that govern civil satellite resolution. “Soon,” Technology Review, an M.I.T. magazine, warned in 2019, “satellites will be able to watch you everywhere all the time.”

What inspired Albedo’s sharp clarity goals, Mr. Haddad said, was Mr. Trump’s sharing an American spy image from his Twitter account that showed a heavily damaged launchpad in Iran. The image’s resolution was judged to be roughly 10 centimeters, and that led to wide discussion of the commercial possibilities.

Mr. Haddad grew up in Houston and studied engineering at Johns Hopkins University and the University of Texas. He then worked for Lockheed Martin in Sunnyvale, Calif. — which has long built spy satellites. Some can rival or exceed a school bus in size and typically cost billions of dollars.

Mr. Haddad founded Albedo with Winston Tri, a former Facebook software engineer, and AyJay Lasater, a former Lockheed Martin satellite engineer. They saw a commercial market for 10-centimeter imagery, but not if the costs were astronomical. Their solution was to place satellites in very low orbits that were comparatively close to their earthly subjects. That would let the satellite fleet use smaller cameras and telescopes, slashing costs.

Landsat was orbiting more than 400 miles up when it imaged Chernobyl. In contrast, Albedo’s founders planned orbits as low as 100 miles At low elevations, spacecraft cut through the planet’s thin outer atmosphere, which can slow them down and shorten their orbital life. The Albedo craft, slightly larger than a full-size refrigerator, will use booster jets to counteract the atmospheric drag.

To charge batteries, satellites often have large arrays of solar panels that spread out like wings. Not Albedo. To reduce the drag, the founders planned a cylindrical spacecraft covered with solar cells.

Albedo was founded in 2020, and Mr. Haddad was confronted with privacy concerns at the outset. Addressing them in a discussion on an online tech forum, he wrote, “We realize we have to properly address privacy and misuse prevention.”

To lower the risks, Mr. Haddad added, the company would approve new customers on a case-by-case basis, develop ways to identify bad actors and make sure its contract terms and conditions spelled out punitive measures for violations of company policy.

In December 2021, Albedo won regulatory approval to loft an imaging satellite with 10-centimeter resolution. Its technology quickly caught the attention of the military and the nation’s intelligence agencies.

In 2022, Albedo received a $1.25 million contract with the Air Force to see if the company’s gear could meet a standard rating scale that measures image interpretability. The tests included identifying hardware on electronics vans, fairings on fighter jets and missile tubes on warships.

In April 2023, the company received another $1.25 million contract — this time with the National Air and Space Intelligence Center, which assesses foreign threats. Late last year, it also signed a contract to have its technology assessed by the National Reconnaissance Office, which runs the nation’s spy satellites.

Albedo’s website says its imagery can help governments “monitor hotspots, eliminate uncertainty, and mobilize with speed.” The company, in listing its core values, says it supports “data-driven investigative journalism” among other activities that “ensure we improve the world we live in.”

Illustrating the fleet’s observational powers, Mr. Tri, the Albedo co-founder, said the space cameras could detect such vehicle details as sunroofs, racing stripes and items in a flatbed truck. “In some cases,” he said, “we may even be able to identify particular vehicles, which hasn’t been possible up to this point.”

The company expects civilian customers to include city planners looking for potholes on roads, conservation groups tracking wildlife, insurance companies surveying roof damage and power line companies seeking to prevent wildfires.

John E. Pike, director of Global Security.org, a nonprofit research group based in Alexandria, Va., said Albedo was downplaying what could become significant.

“You’re going to start seeing people,” he said. “You’re going to see more than dots.” Satellite images of Palestinians fleeing flighting in the Gaza Strip, Mr. Pike noted, illustrate the current observational limits. The images show either dense crowds in which no individuals can be discerned or — in the case of smaller groups of people on roads — tiny flecks and dark spots.

Mr. Pike echoed Mr. Haddad in saying the new technology would be unable to identify particular individuals. However, he said the space cameras would most likely be able to distinguish children from adults as well as sunbathers in swimsuits from those in further states of undress.

“This is the archetypal, first-order privacy concern — that somebody would see you sunbathing,” Mr. Pike said.

Legal experts note that drones are highly regulated by federal, state and local laws that make them subject to claims of trespass and privacy violation. No-fly zones include not only airports, military bases and sporting events but individuals. California law bars drone operators, unless they have permission, from taking pictures of people engaged in private, personal or family activities.

Ms. Lynch of the Electronic Frontier Foundation said her discouraging experience with satellite regulators a half decade ago suggested to her that little would be done to mandate a protection of privacy from the eyes in the sky.

Albedo and its backers, she added, are “operating with blinders on and not seeing the ramifications” for human rights.

Australian Parliament Calls On UK To Free Julian Assange!

Andrew Wilkie, a member of parliament (MP) from Australia filed a motion and received support from the Australian government in calling for the termination and end of Julian Assange’s extradition to the US for prosecution. Assange, 52, an Australian computer expert, has been indicted in the US on 18 charges over Wikileaks’ publication of hundreds of thousands of classified documents in 2010 that embarrassed the US military industrial complex and informed US citizens of its war crimes.

An old video clip of Assange shows him giving a speech about war and he said that all wars are based on lies promoted by the media that he called “War by Media.” He asked what is the average death count that can be attributed to each journalist? He stated that while politicians and soldiers are war criminals, journalists who promote war lies are also war criminals. Our reality is constructed by liars.

Andrew Wilkie, a member of parliament (MP) from Australia filed a motion and received support from the Australian government in calling for the termination and end of Julian Assange’s extradition to the US for prosecution.

Assange, 52, an Australian computer expert, has been indicted in the US on 18 charges over Wikileaks’ publication of hundreds of thousands of classified documents in 2010 that embarrassed the US military industrial complex and informed US citizens of its war crimes.

Assange has been detained for almost five years in a high security prison in the UK although there is no sentence — he is not serving any time for any conviction, but is an innocent man who is being kept in prison.

Assange is in very poor health.

He spent seven years protected by the Ecuadoran embassy before his detainment by the UK.

An old video clip of Assange shows him giving a speech about war and he said that all wars are based on lies promoted by the media that he called “War by Media.” He asked what is the average death count that can be attributed to each journalist? He said that while politicians and soldiers are war criminals, journalists who promote war lies are also war criminals. Our reality is constructed by liars.

Thirty-five law professors wrote to US Attorney General Merrick Garland to request that he drop the charges against Julian Assange as the espionage charges threaten the First Amendment.

France’s ‘Article Pfizer’ Could Send Those who Criticize mRNA Jabs to Prison for 3 Years

In an unprecedented move, the French parliament passed a law that introduces severe penalties for those opposing mRNA liquid nanoparticle (LNP) injections or other treatments recommended by the state based on current medical knowledge. As of February 15, 2024, criticism of such therapeutic treatments, when deemed obligatory or recommended by the state, could result in up to 3 years of imprisonment or a fine of 45,000 euros. This bold legislative step, dubbed ‘Article Pfizer’ by critics, represents a significant shift in the balance between public health policy and free speech.

The law specifically targets the resistance to mRNA treatment (aka mRNA vaccines and gene therapy), positioning it as a cornerstone in the fight against future pandemics. According to critics, the new law aims to chill public discourse on public health policy, silence doctors and discourage potential whistleblowers who may have valid concerns about mRNA technology or other treatments.

.

“According to the law, which was passed quietly and secretly through the French parliament on Wednesday, advisement against mRNA or other treatments which are deemed ‘suitable’ based on current ‘medical knowledge’ can lead to a 3 year prison sentence and up to a $48,400 fine.”

.

In an unprecedented move that has sparked widespread debate across France and beyond, the French parliament has recently passed a law that introduces severe penalties for those opposing mRNA LNP injections or other treatments recommended by the state based on current medical knowledge. As of today, criticism of such therapeutic treatments, when deemed obligatory or recommended by the state, could result in up to three years of imprisonment or a fine of 45,000 euros. This bold legislative step, quickly dubbed ‘Article Pfizer’ by critics, represents a significant shift in the balance between public health policy and individual freedom of expression.

A Controversial Stand on Health and Free Speech

The core of the controversy lies in the creation of a new criminal offense targeting individuals who encourage others to withhold from medical treatments that are considered appropriate according to the prevailing medical standards. The law specifically targets the resistance to mRNA treatment, positioning it as a cornerstone in the fight against future pandemics. This move has been interpreted by many as an anti-democratic maneuver, stifling any opposition or critique of the state-endorsed medical treatments under the heavy hand of legal penalties.

The passing of the law came with minimal debate within the parliament, a fact that has only fueled the outrage among its detractors. Critics argue that the law not only undermines the democratic process by limiting the scope of public discourse on health policy but also prejudges alternative medicine and potential whistleblowers who may have valid concerns about mRNA technology or other treatments.

The Implications of ‘Article Pfizer’

Labelled ‘Article Pfizer’, the law is seen as emblematic of a broader trend towards increasing state control over public health narratives and personal health choices. The nickname itself, referencing one of the major pharmaceutical companies behind the development of mRNA vaccine technology, hints at the perceived alignment between government policy and the interests of big pharma—raising questions about the influence of pharmaceutical companies on health policy.

Furthermore, the timing and urgency of the law’s enactment, with warnings of an imminent next pandemic and the positioning of mRNA technology as the sole solution, add layers of complexity to the debate. Supporters argue that in the face of unprecedented global health threats, such measures are necessary to ensure public safety and prevent the spread of misinformation that could undermine vaccination efforts.

Between Public Safety and Personal Freedom

At the heart of this legislative move is a delicate balance between the need to protect public health and the imperative to safeguard individual rights and freedoms. The law raises critical questions about where the line should be drawn between preventing harmful misinformation and preserving the right to free speech and open debate on medical treatments.

As France steps into uncharted territory with the enactment of this law, the international community watches closely. The implications of such a legal framework extend beyond the borders of France, potentially setting a precedent for how governments around the world might seek to regulate public discourse on health and medical treatments in the future.

House Speaker Stops $95 Billion Funding Bill for Ukraine and Israel that Triggers “National Security Threat”

House Intelligence Committee Chairman Representative Mike Turner, a Republican, called for Biden to declassify intelligence on a “serious national security threat” involving Russia’s nuclear weapons in space after the $95 billion Senate bill to fund Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan was dropped by Speaker Johnson. Republicans Matt Gaetz and Andy Ogles accused Representative Turner of having ulterior motives for issuing his ‘warning’ and creating fear, citing the battle over both funding for Ukraine and Israel and a bill to reauthorize the nation’s FISA warrantless spy powers.

.

Summary by JW Williams

Republican Speaker of the House Mike Johnson immediately shut down the Senate’s $95 billion bill to fund Ukraine and Israel as he denied the bill a vote in the House. There were zero provisions in the Senate bill to stem the tide of migrants invading the US border. The Biden regime responded by threatening that US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) will likely have to release about 16,000 illegals in custody because ICE will lack the funding to keep them detained. ICE is about $700 million in the negative on their budget, which could have been dealt with if the funding had included border provisions. Democrats are blaming Republicans for the open border crisis because this bill failed.

House Intelligence Committee Chairman Rep. Mike Turner, a Republican, called for Biden to declassify intelligence on a “serious national security threat” involving Russia’s nuclear weapons in space after the Senate bill was dropped by Speaker Johnson.

Republican Representative Andy Ogles accused Mr. Turner of having ulterior motives for issuing his ‘warning’ and creating fear, citing the battle over both funding for Ukraine and Israel and a bill to reauthorize the nation’s warrantless spy powers. Rep. Ogles asked for an inquiry into Turner’s revelation, saying it was done with “reckless disregard” for consequences to geopolitics, markets and “the well-being and psyche of the American people.” Ogles also questioned whether Turner should remain chair of the intelligence committee.

Representative Matt Gaetz, who is also a member of the Republican House Freedom Caucus with Ogles, stated, “It was incredibly irresponsible of House Intelligence Committee Chairman Rep. Mike Turner to gaslight the country by alleging this ‘national security threat.” He added, “The reality we’re being shown is just a facade. Behind it lies a strategy to justify spying on American citizens and frivolously spending their hard-earned money. It’s a classic bait and switch.”

Israeli Lawmakers Propose 5 Years in Prison for Those who ‘Deny’ Or ‘Downplay’ Oct. 7 Hamas Attack

Israel: A new bill proposes that anyone who publishes, in writing or orally, things that deny the October 7, 2023 massacre or downplays it or publishes praise, sympathy, or identification with the actions committed by Hamas in the events of that day – will be sentenced to five years in prison. The beheading of 40 Jewish babies and mass rape by Hamas, among other atrocity propaganda stories, have recently been debunked (here, here and here). This proposed law is a threat against journalists from Haaretz and other Israeli news organizations that debunked much of the atrocity propaganda Israel put out after Oct 7.

.

From the Jerusalem Post:

Forer’s bill

The bill approved by Yisrael Beytenu MK Oded Forer prohibits the denial of the October 7 massacre. According to the proposal, anyone who publishes, in writing or orally, things that deny the massacre or downplays it or publishes praise, sympathy, or identification with the actions committed by Hamas in the events of that day – will be sentenced to five years in prison.

The explanation for the bill reads: “The denial of the massacre constitutes an attempt to rewrite history already at this stage, in an attempt to hide, minimize, and facilitate the crimes committed against the Jewish people and the State of Israel.”

The proposal by Likud MK Moshe Passal gives financial compensation to ZAKA volunteers who volunteered for endeavors carried out by the organization during Operation Swords of Iron.

“There is no doubt that the volunteers took a significant part and did hard work, both physically and mentally. They were a significant part of the holy work for the people of Israel and worked together with the IDF, so they deserve to be rewarded for their important work,” Passal said.

Ex-CIA Computer Engineer Who Leaked Secrets to WikiLeaks Gets 40 Years in Prison

Former CIA officer Joshua Adam Schulte, 35, is said to be the largest leaker of CIA data in US history. He was convicted of the so-called Vault 7 leak that revealed the CIA hacked Apple and Android phones in overseas spying operations. He was also convicted on separate charges for possessing child sexual abuse images. Schulte was sentenced to 40 years in prison. Code Pink criticized the harsh sentence for the security leak and posted this message on X: “Joshua Schulte has been sentenced to 40 years in prison. There have been no consequences for those at the CIA whose cyber hacking efforts he revealed. This is a vicious attempt to intimidate whistleblowers from informing the public about our government’s crimes.”  

.

Summary by JW Williams

Former CIA officer Joshua Adam Schulte, 35, is said to be the largest leaker of CIA data in US history. He was convicted of the so-called Vault 7 leak, and also of possessing child sexual abuse images, in two separate trials overseen by the same judge in 2022 and 2023.

The Vault 7 leak revealed how the CIA hacked Apple and Android smartphones in overseas spying operations, and efforts to turn internet-connected televisions into listening devices. Prior to his arrest, Schulte had helped create the hacking tools as a coder at the CIA’s headquarters in Langley, Virginia. The leak was an enormous embarrassment to the CIA that cost the agency hundreds of millions of dollars.

Prosecutors had asked Judge Furman to impose a life sentence, but the judge declined to do so, saying that he’d not seen proof that Schulte’s leak of government secrets — though devastating to national security — directly led to someone being killed.

The US Attorney’s office claimed that Schulte had over 2,400 images and videos of “disturbing and horrific” sex abuse images of children that government investigators said were hidden under layers of encryption on a personal computer. Schulte was accused of continuing to view the pornography in prison.

Schulte said that he had been victimized by people who used his servers to store child pornography without his knowledge or consent. Wikipedia reported that a photo was allegedly found on his phone of his neighbor who was unconscious and nude, and it showed Schulte’s hands touching her. She said that she had passed out, did not know what happened and that the photo was not consensual.

Judge Furman said that during a separate trial for the child porn case, Schulte “had no defense.”

Although there is a culture of the CIA and its contractors collecting child pornography, it is possible that evidence was planted by law enforcement.

Judge Furman said that of the 40 year sentence, 6 years and 8 months of it were for the child sexual abuse material.

Code Pink criticized the harsh sentence for the security leak and posted this message on X: “Joshua Schulte has been sentenced to 40 years in prison.

There have been no consequences for those at the CIA whose cyber hacking efforts he revealed.

This is a vicious attempt to intimidate whistleblowers from informing the public about our government’s crimes.”

FBI Orders Banks to Flag Purchases Tied to Religion or MAGA

The FBI, US Treasury, and Joe Biden have now weaponized Americans’ own banks against ordinary citizens, ordering them to search and flag people for things like reading religious texts (like the Bible) or having MAGA in the description of payments. Representative Jim Jordan said that banks are searching their own customers for key terms regarding purchases and that it appears the banks are doing it without warrant or legal process. The key words included religious items, whether they shop at Cabella’s or Bass Pro Shop, or if they purchasing a firearm.

Red State Governors Stand with Texas Against Biden Regime Over Border Crisis

Recently, the US Supreme Court authorized federal agents to remove the razor wire barrier installed by Texas at the border. The deadline is today. Texas responded by installing more razor wire. Texas Governor Abbott declared an invasion under Article I, § 10, Clause 3 to invoke Texas’s constitutional authority to defend and protect itself. He said that authority is the supreme law of the land and supersedes any federal statutes to the contrary.

Governors from Virginia, Florida, South Dakota, Georgia, Montana, and Oklahoma have publicly declared their support for Texas’s right to self-defense against the lawless Biden regime. In total, 14 states—Arkansas, Florida, Iowa, Idaho, Nebraska, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Virginia, West Virginia, and Wyoming—have stepped up to support Texas’ efforts and deployed personnel and resources to secure the border in President Biden’s absence.

Meanwhile, Democrats are urging President Biden to seize control over the Texas National Guard. 

.

.

In a significant escalation of tensions over the U.S.-Mexico border policies, several Republican governors are uniting in support of Texas Governor Greg Abbott’s challenge against the Biden regime.

This move comes in the wake of the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision allowing the removal of razor wire installed by Texas at the border.

Governor Abbott deployed approximately 30 miles of razor wire near Eagle Pass, Texas, as a barrier against illegal immigration.

However, this move was challenged in court, leading to a complex legal battle. Despite setbacks in lower courts, the state’s efforts were momentarily buoyed by a decision from the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals, which was overturned by the Supreme Court’s 5-4 vote.

Conservative justices Roberts and Amy Coney Barrett (Trump appointee) sided with the liberals and granted the Biden Regime’s emergency request. This is the 9th time that the Supreme Court has sided with the Biden regime out of 14 emergency applications.

Despite the Supreme Court’s decision, Texas officials, including Governor Abbott and Attorney General Ken Paxton, have expressed their intent to continue measures to reinforce the border. Texas National Guard members began installing more razor wire in Eagle Pass.

“The Supreme Court’s temporary order allows Biden to continue his illegal effort to aid the foreign invasion of America,” Attorney General Paxton said.

“The destruction of Texas’s border barriers will not help enforce the law or keep American citizens safe. This fight is not over, and I look forward to defending our state’s sovereignty,” he added.

Governor Abbott, in a fiery statement, lambasted Joe Biden for failing to enforce immigration laws and thereby violating his oath of office. He then declared an “invasion” under Article I, § 10, Clause 3, asserting Texas’s right to self-defense.

Read Abbott’s statement:

Despite having been put on notice in a series of letters—one of which I delivered to him by hand—President Biden has ignored Texas’s demand that he perform his constitutional duties.

  • President Biden has violated his oath to faithfully execute immigration laws enacted by Congress. Instead of prosecuting immigrants for the federal crime of illegal entry, President Biden has sent his lawyers into federal courts to sue Texas for taking action to secure the border.
  • President Biden has instructed his agencies to ignore federal statutes that mandate the detention of illegal immigrants. The effect is to illegally allow their en masse parole into the United States.
  • By wasting taxpayer dollars to tear open Texas’s border security infrastructure, President Biden has enticed illegal immigrants away from the 28 legal entry points along this State’s southern border— bridges where nobody drowns—and into the dangerous waters of the Rio Grande.

The failure of the Biden Administration to fulfill the duties imposed by Article IV, § 4 has triggered Article I, § 10, Clause 3, which reserves to this State the right of self-defense. For these reasons, I have already declared an invasion under Article I, § 10, Clause 3 to invoke Texas’s constitutional authority to defend and protect itself. That authority is the supreme law of the land and supersedes any federal statutes to the contrary. The Texas National Guard, the Texas Department of Public Safety, and other Texas personnel are acting on that authority, as well as state law, to secure the Texas border.

The Texas response has drawn backing from several other Republican-led states, fueling a growing standoff between state and federal authorities. Governors from red states have publicly declared their support for Texas’s right to self-defense against the lawless Biden regime.

Florida’s Governor Ron DeSantis expressed his stance, emphasizing constitutional principles and pledging ongoing assistance to Texas.

“If the Constitution really made states powerless to defend themselves against an invasion, it wouldn’t have been ratified in the first place and Texas would have never joined the union when it did. TX is upholding the law while Biden is flouting it. FL will keep assisting Texas with personnel and assets.”

South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem praised Texas’s actions and criticized the Biden regime for creating a national security crisis.

“Greg Abbott is exactly right to invoke Texas’ constitutional authority to defend itself. The Biden Administration has created a national security crisis and put Americans in danger. Their failure is an unconstitutional dereliction of duty. South Dakota has been proud to help Gov. Abbott’s efforts to secure our border.”

Virginia Governor Glenn Youngkin also weighed in, arguing that the Biden regime’s policies have effectively turned every state into a border state, with widespread implications for national security and public safety.

“Virginia stands with Texas. Greg Abbott is doing the job Joe Biden and his border czar refuse to do to secure our border. The Biden administration has turned every state into a border state. We must stop the flow of fentanyl, save lives, and secure our southern border.”

Oklahoma’s Kevin Stitt and Montana’s Greg Gianforte echoed the sentiments of their colleagues, with Gianforte condemning the federal government’s inaction and attributing it to an increase in drug trafficking and related criminal activity.

Showdown: Texas Defies Supreme Court, Installs More Razor Wire Along Border

The Texas National Guard  responded to the Supreme Court’s order allowing the Biden regime to cut and remove razor wire installed along the southern border by defying the ruling and adding more razor wire. Republican Governor Greg Abbott previously installed about 30 miles of razor wire at the Texas-Mexico border near Eagle Pass to stop the flood of illegal aliens being let in by the Biden administration. ‘Conservative’ Justices Amy Coney Barrett and John Roberts voted in favor of Biden along with liberal Justices Sonya Sotomayor, Elena Kagan and Ketanji Brown Jackson. The decision will remain in effect pending a final ruling on Biden’s lawsuit against the State of Texas.

Critics Alex jones and Wayne Allen Root have suggested that the Supreme Court Justices may be being bribed, threatened and extorted due to rulings made against the Constitution and the American People.

A coalition of concerned Americans from across the nation announced a massive convoy will travel to major border cities in Arizona, California and Texas to raise awareness about Biden’s open border policies and the drug trafficking and human smuggling they are facilitating.

The Supreme Court ruled Monday that federal agents are allowed to cut down the razor wire installed along the Texas border.

The Court in a 5-4 ruling will allow Border Patrol agents to cut the concertina wire barriers that Gov. Greg Abbott (R-Texas) ordered to be installed along the state’s border in response to the massive numbers of illegal aliens crossing into the U.S. due to Joe Biden’s open border policies.

Justices Amy Coney Barrett and John Roberts voted in favor of Biden along with liberal Justices Sonya Sotomayor, Elena Kagan and Ketanji Brown Jackson.

Justices Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito, Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh dissented.

The decision will remain in effect pending a final ruling on Biden’s lawsuit against the State of Texas.

From NPR:

Gov. Greg Abbott launched a controversial state-led, border security effort called “Operation Lone Star” in 2021. Since then, Texas has installed razor wire, a floating barrier in the Rio Grande, and added thousands of Texas state troopers and National Guard soldiers to patrol parts of the state’s 1,254 mile long border with Mexico.

Earlier this month, the Biden administration turned to the Supreme Court over the installation of razor wire on the northern banks of the Rio Grande in Eagle Pass. That came after the state sued the administration in October, claiming federal agents were destroying state property and preventing Texas National Guard and Department of Public Safety officers from securing the border.

A federal judge ruled in the Biden administration’s favor, but the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals later decided the judge misunderstood a law that spells out what the federal government can be sued for.

The Department of Homeland Security argued in a memo supplemented with their lawsuit last week that the razor wire makes it more difficult to allow illegal aliens to enter the country.

That’s the entire point!

We are not a serious country anymore.

Fox News correspondent Bill Melugin noted that Texas National Guard will have to allow Border Patrol agents back into the Shelby Park area of Eagle Pass for them to begin cutting the razor wire, “potentially setting up a significant state vs federal showdown if push comes to shove.”
