US military spy agency paid for Americans' cell phone data that revealed their location information WITHOUT a search warrant
  • Defense Intelligence Agency is a Pentagon-run military intelligence outfit
  • DIA confirmed it paid data brokers for cell phone information from Americans
  • Data brokers aggregate information collected by apps and sites and sell them
  • DIA said it used data as part of five investigation in last two-and-a-half years
  • Agency memo claimed DIA is not legally bound to first obtain search warrant
  • Senator Ron Wyden, Democrat of Oregon, says he plans new privacy bill
  • Wyden wants to close legal loophole allowing government access to user data
American military spies have been buying US citizens’ location data collected by smartphone apps without a warrant, according to a recently unclassified memo.

Analysts for the Defense Intelligence Agency, the Pentagon-run department that specializes in military intelligence, made the revelation in a memo written to Senator Ron Wyden, the Democrat from Oregon.

According to the memo, the DIA has searched commercial databases that contain information about the movements of American citizens as part of five separate investigations spread out over the past two-and-a-half years.

The DIA, whose main mission is to detect threats to American soldiers stationed worldwide, appears to be buying location data that specifically pertains to investigations of foreigners abroad.

The DIA admitted in the memo, first obtained by The New York Times, that it buys the data from private data brokers and that the data isn’t vetted based on whether the smartphone user lives in the United States or abroad.

I’ll say one thing about white people, what they lack in other areas, they sure do have in audacity.

Comparing genocide, rape, and being confined to reservations to losing an election recounted multiple times and approved by the Supreme Court in which he appointed 3 judges

Why did the Georgia GOP team up with a Riot Instigator?
“WE’LL LIGHT THE WHOLE SH*T ON FIRE!”

  • by
    Roberts received instructions from the National Republican Senate Committee.

    The far-right celebrity was the magnet to draw scores of young enthusiasts to a January 3 training session at the DoubleTree Hotel in Roswell, an Atlanta suburb. The Palast Investigative Fund’s photojournalist, Zach D. Roberts, a specialist in white fringe violence who’d been tracking Alexander’s pitch for mayhem across the nation, signed up.

    Roberts, who joined up through Alexander’s website, StopTheSteal.US, was quite surprised to receive instructions, not from the right-wing group, but from Daniel George of the National Republican Senate Committee.

    Why would the GOP team up with Alexander, a leader of the Stop the Steal extremists, especially after his well-broadcast warning of violence? The threat was not out of character. There are widely circulated films of Alexander with Proud Boys founder Gavin McInnes. And there is a video chat with Alexander yucking it up with a right-wing jokester holding up a giant flag with a Nazi Swastika flag.

    That is, if “Alexander” is his real name. He adopted it after his reported conviction for a felony crime under the name “Ali Akbar.”

    Alexander is a shapeshifter, sometimes the eye-swiveling crazy, sometimes the dapper guest for Alt-Right podcasts. We cannot link to his most incendiary outlets such as WildProtest.com because they’ve been taken down for inciting violence.

    Yet, you can see him in this photo at a door-knocking training seminar run by the Georgia Republican Party surrounded by grinning young Georgia volunteers.

    Curious, I called both the Georgia Republican Party’s Field Director, who worked with Alexander, as well as the National Republican Senate Committee to ask why they’d join forces with a known Neo-Fascist instigator of violence. So far, my calls have gone un-returned.

    In Georgia, with Alex Jones and Nick Fuentes, a known white nationalist, Alexander hid nothing of his hopes for Washington on January 6. “Either they take Trump, prove that they won or they’re not going to hand them back the country again. We’ll light the whole sh*t on fire!”

    Looking down on the Capitol, as the mayhem unfolded, he told his Twitter audience, “I don’t disavow this,” but later insisted, without evidence, that the Capitol violence was committed by slyly disguised Antifa rioters.

    To fire up its base, the GOP is apparently willing to cavort with the violence-threatening fringe. The Grand Old Party dismissed Alexander’s warnings. And they also forgot John Kennedy’s warning that “Those who ride the tail of the tiger soon end up inside.”
