I spy with my little eye
A missing binder, a rogue agency, freedoms lost and an epic spy-gate saga
Once upon a time, an alliance was formed among certain nations to gather and share intelligence for security and defense purposes. Dubbed the "Five Eyes," this collaboration between Australia, Canada, New Zealand, the UK, and the United States has endured since World War II.
While the Five Eyes alliance primarily focuses on national security and defense interests, could these intel-sharing capabilities be misused or abused? Here is a potential scenario: What if rogue elements in the CIA conspired with their Five Eyes counterparts to spy on American citizens? Presumably, they could gather information through intelligence-sharing and use this to manipulate political processes within the US or undermine political opponents.
Consider the unfolding saga of the Russia collusion hoax, the infamous Mar-a-Lago raid, and the Obama administration panic. Was it a desperate hunt for evidence of this unprecedented persecution of President Trump and his associates? The real questions to be asked are who, what, where, and when. If the damning reports coming from Matt Taibi and Michael Shellenberger hold true, then I spy with my little eye John Brennan, 26 Trump associates, the swamp, and the pivotal year 2016. My, my, in contrast, Watergate really looks like a second grade story book.
On a deeply personal level, here are other ways the Five Eyes could be used against us:
Mass Surveillance: Our every digital footprint scrutinized, our privacy vanishing under the weight of unchecked data collection.
Targeted Surveillance: Individuals marked for scrutiny based on their beliefs or affiliations, liberties sacrificed at the altar of state control.
Law Enforcement Actions: Intelligence weaponized to justify wrongful arrests, silencing dissent in the name of security.
Meanwhile, the debate about FISA (Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act), which grants the US Government the vehicle to spy on any one of us unfettered, is underway in Congress. Section 702 expired and we must demand its sunset by calling our elected federal officials. Unless we are increasingly aware of the attempts to corral, control, and coerce us into some form of dystopian future, the founding fathers’ vision of America is wont to fade away into oblivion.

And here is a Roger Stone interview (he is one of the 26 targeted Trump allies)
Let’s pray:
Heavenly Father,
Our hearts are burdened by the concerns of our nation and the world. We lift up to You the erosion of privacy rights, recognizing the importance of safeguarding the freedoms You have granted us. Grant wisdom to our leaders and lawmakers as they navigate the complexities of balancing security and individual liberties. Help them to uphold justice and righteousness in their decisions, ensuring that the rights of all citizens are protected.
Lord, may Your light shine upon the darkness of deception and manipulation, revealing truth and restoring integrity to our systems of governance. Guide us as we seek to uphold the values of truth, justice, and liberty for all.
Jesus, In Your holy name, we pray.
Amen.
