It’s not just about Tarshi Gabbard. Under President Joe Biden, a so-called “quiet tyranny” has emerged, affecting many ordinary Americans.
According to the Department of Homeland Security, simply resisting mask mandates can land 19 individuals on watch lists and affect over half of the flight list.
This issue has been noted, but it seems targeted non-mask wearers under Biden’s Transportation Security Director, David Pecoske, were part of the “freedom of operation” push, which started in September 2021.
Biden’s administration seems to be punishing Americans for daring to defy strict controls during Covid, rather than for posing actual threats to society.
Interestingly, there’s a connection to the January 6 protest, with 280 additional people being placed on the watch list. Five individuals from that event caused clashes with public security in DC, where Biden’s security personnel were deployed.
Despite internal warnings, including emails from the Chief Privacy Officer, the TSA chose to overlook concerns.
The federal government’s non-flight list typically targets those suspected of terrorist activities, and understandably so, as being unable to board domestic flights can drastically alter someone’s life.
Even just being on a watch list is a hassle, leading to delays at airport security.
Weirdly enough, airlines might even be instructed to monitor these individuals even when they leave the airport.
The TSA’s overreach under Biden is troubling and part of a broader pattern of administrative behavior.
From using social media for FBI probes to targeting conservatives through legal means, this deployment of state power against political adversaries raises serious concerns.
Yet mainstream media seems to ignore these issues, focusing instead on their own narratives.
It feels like both sides of the political spectrum can weaponize government resources against their enemies, but only Democrats seem to get a free pass.
The same media that claims to be a watchdog continues to turn a blind eye as the Biden administration’s approach to governance threatens American freedoms.
