The SEC Is Spying On All Your Trades, Linking Them To Your SSN And Sharing The Data With 3,000 Agencies
The SEC Is Spying On All Your Trades, Linking Them To Your SSN And Sharing The Data With 3,000 Agencies | ZeroHedge
The SEC is now tracking your stock trades by your Social Security Number, and it shares the data with 3,000 outside agencies.
“A consolidated audit trail that accurately tracks orders throughout their lifecycle and identifies the broker-dealers handling them will provide us with an unprecedented ability to effectively oversee the markets we regulate,” said SEC Chairman Mary Schapiro.
As the WSJ puts it:
As an American, you have a right to privacy—unless you own stock. The Securities and Exchange Commission has created a centralized database to track the personal and financial information of every U.S. investor. Congress should immediately stop this unconstitutional power grab.
Hackers Paradise
Consider a 2022 Statement by SEC Commissioner Hester Peirce.
With respect to liberty, I plead with my fellow Americans to care about your financial privacy. Why should the government, without any indication of wrongdoing on your part, follow you around the securities markets to monitor every order you place and every trade you make? With respect to security, I plead with my fellow regulators to rethink the wisdom of creating a massive database of information that hackers may try to exploit for their nefarious ends. Given these concerns, my preference would be to see the project placed in the SEC’s catacombs—dead and buried forever
Given that the data will be available to 3,000 outside contractors, it will soon be a hacker’s paradise, if it isn’t already.
Actually, it won’t even need to be hacked, all it takes is one nefarious outside contractor.

They knew that they were lying, and they knew they were hurting people.
Dear Patriots,
The collective Fake News will not adequately cover this story on recently disclosed emails from the White House about Covid-CCP injections. It is up to us to spread it as much as possible. It is important to know the depth and breath of the cover up in the Biden Regime after they KNEW the injections were NOT safe. We can not trust anything they tell us. Everyone needs to know that. We now have Fauci's, Walensky and Collins authenticated e-mails proving they knew that the injection they relentlessly pushed was NOT SAFE...but, still said it was safe.
Also today, we dive into,
- the possible result of your prayers.
- very distressing news from the Keystone State.
- a story we thought was a spoof, but isn't.
- thinking about how to turn conservatism into votes.
Without reason or notice an email you have been receiving can and does divert to the junk file. You will need to mark it Not Junk to get it back where you want it.
1- We ask that you read and know about this and share it far and wide. It appears to be the smoking gun that proves the Biden White House met to craft a lie to tell Americans about the injections they knew were dangerous.
Warrior Dr. Naomi Wolf has been working for years to pry information from the government about the Covid-CCP injections. She and her team recently obtained over 400 pages from the CDC. They have spent hours searching these records and what they found is evidence the Biden Regime actively worked to hide the truth. Some of these records were released without request, making Dr. Wolf suspect there is a silent whistleblower at the CDC. Keep praying for whistleblowers! Watch this interview with Dr. Wolf. She explains it all precisely.

You can also see the the actual emails in question and to whom they were sent.

New-Found Emails Prove Biden White House Hid COVID Vaccine Harms from the Public
QUOTE: The question of our time is, how could this happen? How could these catastrophic crimes against humanity perpetrated by these injections be allowed to occur? "It can't happen unless the boss says it has to or that it can," declared Dr. Naomi Wolf on Steve Bannon's War Room.
As a former political advisor, Dr. Wolf said, from experience working around a White House, "You can't kill Americans ... knowingly without the okay of the President because you're literally burning up too much political capital. No one wants to be on the receiving end of having killed Americans when that crime comes to light without the imprimatur (approval) of the President."
"If someone is found to have killed Americans, inadvertently, they get fired and shamed publicly. And it's all put on them. And that's the end of them. And that's not what we were seeing. So I knew that up the chain of command,the White House had to be involved in these decisions, but we just didn't have the smoking gun."
"Now we have the smoking gun," announced Dr. Wolf.
Attorney Edward Berkovich made a request under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) on August 29. He asked for emails to and from Dr. Rochelle P. Walensky, Sherri A. Berger, and Kevin Griffis (all CDC staff) between February 1, 2021, and May 31, 2021, that include the term "myocarditis."
Initially, Attorney Berkovich received 472 pages, but someone who Dr. Wolf believes could be a whistleblower recently released another 46 pages to Mr. Berkovich.
Amy Kelly of DailyClout reported that over 80% of the 46 pages were fully redacted and involved other government entities, such as the White House and the Executive Office of the President. "Of the 46 pages,only two pages were released without any redactions. Seven pages were partially redacted pages, and 37 pages were fully redacted."
Normally, redacted pages come with black bars that conceal the withheld text. But since 37 pages were fully redacted, you don't even see any black bars. It looks like a blank page — but done so intentionally.
Alarmingly, Exemption 5 states, "The Presidential communications privilege protects documents solicited and received by the President or his immediate White House advisers who have broad and significant responsibility for investigating and formulating the advice to be given to the President."
In plain English, that means the President and his close advisers in the White House have a "special rule" that lets them keep certain documents private.
"The reason for all these redactions is that what is redacted was solicited or shared with the President or his most senior advisors," added Dr. Wolf.
"Now, what is in these documents?"
In May 2021, particularly around May 24-25, high-ranking officials from the White House, CDC, NIH, and others were "freaking out," shared Dr Wolf. What were they panicking about? Myocarditis and TTS [Thrombotic Thrombocytopenia Syndrome]. Or, in simpler terms, conditions involving heart damage, blood clots, and low platelet counts (bleeding risk).
So "they crafted a media response," reported Dr. Wolf. "And the media response doesn't tell the truth."
In the first set of emails, there's an email thread from May 24-25, 2021, titled "Draft WH [White House] Script and Slides." This email was sent by Abbigail Tumpey, a former key communicator at the CDC, to Rochelle Walensky, the CDC Director at the time, and several other high-ranking health officials. Attached to the email was a draft meant for a press conference, but the entire 10-page content is blacked out and can't be seen.
"Go back to May, June, July, August, all of 2021. Dr. Fauci lied and lied and lied subsequent to this crisis meeting, these crisis communications, this slide deck that we can't see. And Dr. Fauci said, 'Safe and effective. Safe and effective.' Dr. Rochelle Walensky said, 'Safe and effective. Safe and effective.' They rolled out [a public announcement regarding] myocarditis, and remember what they said, 'extremely rare,' 'mild,' 'resolves,' 'extremely rare,' 'mild,' 'resolves.' They knew that they were lying. And they said nothing about the clotting issue from what I recall."
"So basically," explained Dr. Wolf, "they created from this set of crisis communications, directed by the White House with the White House's most senior advisors, the COVID-19 Response Project, which was overseen by the White House. The White House [with] like 15 of these people who were leading this set of lies to the American public, they were convening because horrible things were happening."
"It [adverse events] had been brought to them in February by Israel, that there was heart damage. It was brought to them again in April that there was heart damage and blood clots. Now, it's May [2021], four months after they first knew about the huge amounts of myocarditis and blood clots. And in May, they get together at the behest of the White House, to create a media response that you experience, all of 2021, all of 2022, to get you to keep injecting this [COVID shot] into your body and injecting it into the bodies of your loved ones. They knew that they were lying, and they knew that they were hurting people with blood clots, platelet problems, and heart damage. And that's what they did. And that's what happened."
2- This past Friday we prayed for more warrior whistleblowers. Another warrior from the IRS has joined three others in exposing and confirming the Deep State protection of Biden's son. Keep the whistleblowers in your prayers and pray more will come forth.

Fourth IRS Agent Says D.C. and California Prosecutors Blocked Hunter Biden Charges
QUOTE: IRS agent Darrell Waldon echoed IRS whistleblower Gary Shapley's testimony that prosecutors in Washington, DC, and California previously blocked now-special counsel David Weiss from charging Hunter Biden in those jurisdictions.
Waldon's transcribed interview comes after he previously confirmed Shapley's claims in April of political interference. Waldon later left the Hunter Biden case for another responsibility within the IRS.
As the investigation progressed, Weiss never charged Hunter Biden in the jurisdictions of Washington, DC, or California. Instead, he formed a sweetheart plea agreement with Hunter Biden that collapsed in July under judicial scrutiny. Shapley's testimony in April reportedly triggered the plea deal, filed in Delaware. Weiss later brought three gun-related charges in Delaware against Hunter Biden.
The recent testimony by Waldon, who was Shapley's boss, is notable because Attorney General Merrick Garland testified Wednesday that nobody had the authority to block Weiss from charging Hunter Biden, though "they could refuse to partner with him."
Shapley, along with his subordinate, Joseph Ziegler, the second IRS whistleblower, support the allegation. In addition, IRS Director of Field Operations Michael Batdorf told the House Ways and Means Committee on September 12 that the DOJ's tax division opposed charging Hunter Biden.
3- Horrible news from Pennsylvania.

Trump Responds to Pennsylvania's New "Automatic Voter Registration Scam"

Dem Sen. Menendez Charged With Corruption
QUOTE: U.S. prosecutors on Friday charged powerful Senator Robert Menendez and his wife with bribery over their relationship with New Jersey businessmen, which could complicate Democrats' efforts to keep their slim majority in the U.S. Senate in next year's elections.
The U.S. Attorney's office in Manhattan accused the defendants of accepting thousands of dollars in bribes in exchange for using Menendez's power and influence as New Jersey's senior senator to seek to protect and enrich the businessmen, and benefit the government of Egypt.
Menendez, the chair of the influential U.S. Senate Committee on Foreign Relations, has been an important ally to fellow Democrat President Joe Biden as he has sought to reassert U.S. influence on the world stage as Biden rallies support for congressional aid to Ukraine and Washington looks for ways to push back against a rising China.
The indictment contained an image of gold bars that investigators seized from Menendez's home, as well as envelopes stuffed with cash found inside jackets bearing Menendez's name and hanging in his closet. Prosecutors said they found more than $480,000 in cash in his home. Prosecutors said that in addition to cash and gold, the bribes also included payments toward a home mortgage, compensation for a job with minimal requirements and a luxury vehicle.
Menendez has said he plans to seek reelection next year, and an investigation could complicate Democrats' effort to expand their slim 51-49 seat majority in the 100-member Senate.
Menendez had previously been charged in New Jersey with accepting private flights, campaign contributions and other bribes from a wealthy patron in exchange for official favors, but a 2017 trial ended in a jury deadlock.
Prosecutors dropped their bribery case in 2018 and Menendez had maintained his innocence.He was also investigated in 2006.He was reelected in 2018 to his third term in the Senate.
The state has not elected a Republican to the Senate since 1972, when Clifford Case was reelected.
5- Warrior Victor Davis Hanson delves into an age old question. How can popular conservative issues be turn into votes? It is a long article with much history and worth the time to read in full.
Victor Davis Hanson at The New Criterion
Can conservatives still win?
QUOTE: Conservatives enjoy popular support on the vast majority of current issues. But that does not necessarily translate into winning presidential elections, which is of course the only sure way of enacting conservative political agendas. Yet victory is possible for conservatives, as long as they learn from the past.
Take the potpourri of current controversies over illegal immigration, rising crime, fossil-fuel independence, the economy in general, and an array of cultural concerns—from the indoctrination of the dogma of diversity, equity, and inclusion to the fact of transgendered men participating in women's sports. In these hot-button-issue debates, the conservative side usually wins the support of the American people, at least in opinion polls.
Even in these culturally liberal times, a recent Gallup poll noted that more Americans (38 percent) voiced that they were very conservative or more conservative on social issues than at any time since 2012. In contrast, those identifying as having liberal social views dipped to just 29 percent—fewer even than those describing themselves as moderates (31 percent). Moderates and independents have become terrified of the hard-left takeover of the Democratic Party and the neo-socialist agenda that ensued, which has altered their very way of life.
Of course, surveys do not translate into presidential votes.
George H. W. Bush's convincing win in 1988 (53.4 percent of the popular vote) was in a mere four years reduced to a losing 37.5 percent of the vote, in part due to the unexpected third-party candidacy of Ross Perot and an overhyped recession. George W. Bush's popularity after September 11 reached the highest on record at 85 percent approval—only to crash to a record 22 percent low after the September 2008 financial-system meltdown and the continuing violence in Iraq. The trifecta of the covid pandemic, national lockdown, and George Floyd riots sank what likely would have been a Trump 2020 popular-vote win.
In sum, Republican candidates have not garnered 51 percent of the popular vote since George H. W. Bush's 53.4 percent 1988 victory over Michael Dukakis—engineered by the late Lee Atwater. He, remember, was severely criticized ex post facto for running a campaign that did not follow the usual Republican adherence to the Marquess of Queensberry Rules of campaigning etiquette.
There are many reasons why since 1988 Republican presidential candidates have failed to become elected or, once president, have not always implemented conservative agendas, much less prompted decades of national conservative governance—even while in state and local races Republicans have both won and governed conservatively.
Meanwhile, some influential conservative outlets, such as the Rush Limbaugh Show, The Weekly Standard, or Tucker Carlson Tonight, have ceased due to death, bankruptcy, or firing. Others, such as the Drudge Report, National Review, and Fox News, have either moved leftward or embraced what might be called Mitch McConnell Republicanism. Except for recent exceptions, such as Elon Musk's new approach to X (formerly Twitter), it is hard to find any large established national publication or online medium that describes governmental policies disinterestedly; instead, these actors see their mission as promoting a morally superior worldview, which just happens to be politically useful to the Democratic Party.
Moreover, the new media does not just publish or disseminate the news. It is much more insidious than that. Google manipulates the order of its search results on the basis of a left-wing agenda.
Ultimately, what cannot go on will not go on. The current ruling-class nihilism that has resulted in seven million illegal aliens crashing through a wide-open border; a hundred thousand Americans dead each year due to Mexican-cartel imported fentanyl; massive police defunding and prosecutorial nullification of the criminal codes; $31 trillion in national debt; a politically weaponized but otherwise ineffectual fbi; a rogue Department of Justice; an underfunded, politicized, and increasingly neutered Pentagon; and an ideologically asymmetrical application of the laws is not sustainable. Those who voted for the politicians who created these destructive policies are beginning to realize the resultant dangers looming over their very way of life, and as a result are looking to their erstwhile opponents to offer remedies.
PRAY for divine intervention. PRAY for Sidney and all warriors. SHARE the truth.
Hold Fast,
Defending The Republic

To have confidence in the outcome of any election, we must continue to demand (1) real paper ballots, (2) hand counted in a bipartisan transparent process, and (3) citizen voter ID.
Washington and the liberals are in shambles over the latest Trump/Biteme polls.
During a brain storming session, they came up with a plan to over sample Dems.
One pollster remarked "That's to hard! We are already at 16 to 1 and having problems
talking to folks"!

This is a SCAM. And it's all about to come crashing down.
That's nearly 5% of the US population... and why aren't the Venezuelans illegally occupying their surrounding countries that also share the same language? Is there something that would compel people to live in a country with a totally different language instead of their own, or other culturally similar country?
No, it's not.
Really tired of all the 'all about to come crashing down' or 'any day now they are going to get theirs'!
Sorry, but nothing ever happens. Nothing will ever happen.

But I guarantee you all politicians get their bribes paid in cash. I bet the biden has used mostly cash to pay for items for years.
