Every once in a while you discover a report of government activity so outrageous you have to check, doublecheck, and re-check its authenticity because it is that bloody outrageous. This is one of those stories.
Cut to the facts, Big Red Car, we have a tee time
OK, dear reader. Here are the facts:
1. The Department of Homeland Security and the Transportation Security Agency have apparently placed former Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard on the Quiet Skies terror watchlist.
2. When she flies, she now receives a boarding pass marked “SSSS” meaning Secondary Security Screening Selection which provides for a very thorough search of her body and her luggage with TSA agents fingering every article of her clothing in all of her luggage.
Persons traveling with her are subjected to the same inspection protocol.
This SSSS boarding pass is not something the TSA can just overlook and pretend didn’t happen.
3. In addition to the SSSS jackpot, the TSA assigned three plainclothes Federal Air Marshals to fly on the same plane as her.
Gabbard was once a martial arts instructor, but, fellas, three on one?
But, there’s more. Yes, there is.
4. In addition to the three plainclothes Federal Air Marshals, there are two Explosive Detection Canine Teams, a Transportation Security Specialist (Explosives), and a plainclothes TSA supervisor — all assigned to surveil former Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard when she flies.
Come on, Big Red Car, really?
The information above has been reported by reputable news organizations whose sources are TSA whistleblowers who report that the surveillance — bloody extraordinary surveillance — was ordered as of 23 July 2024.
Tulsi Gabbard has indicated she detected the special treatment, and, of course, there are the SSSS boarding passes.
What triggered this, Big Red Car?
That, dear reader, is, of course, the mystery in all of this. At first blush this four term former Congresswoman (D-HI), former Democrat presidential candidate, currently serving Lieutenant Colonel in the California Army Reserve, and Fox News commentator hardly seems like typical terrorist material.
To put a finer point on it, there is nothing in her background to indicate she is familiar with explosives or a bomb thrower. There is no evidence she is sympathetic toward any terrorist causes.
On the evening before the government ordered surveillance, Tulsi Gabbard appeared on a Fox New Show (Laura Ingraham) and criticized Dem Presidential Candidate Kamala Harris, sitting President Joe Biden, and the Biden admin’s national security state.
Bottom line it, Big Red Car
The bottom line is this — somebody has gone power mad crazy over in the White House or in DHS to commit these vast resources to the commercial travel of a former Congresswoman and a currently serving US Army Reserve Lieutenant Colonel.
The Biden admin needs to come forward immediately and explain why they have committed such a massive program of surveillance — two Explosive Canine Detective Teams, a Transportation Security Specialist (Explosives), three plainclothes Federal Air Marshals, and a plainclothes Federal Air Marshal supervisor — for what is clearly not a threat.
DHS/TSA, you got some ‘splaining to do, homies, cause a lot of folks think this might be a little overreaction to something.
