The U.S. government’s sprawling surveillance apparatus has long been justified under the guise of national security—but newly uncovered documents reveal a far more sinister reality. The Transportation Security Administration’s (TSA) Quiet Skies program, ostensibly designed to identify potential terrorist threats, has instead been weaponized to monitor and intimidate political opponents, including former Congresswoman and Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard. This revelation, brought to light by Senator Rand Paul (R-KY), confirms what many liberty-minded Americans have long suspected: the federal government is using its vast surveillance powers not to protect citizens, but to silence dissent.
Key points:
- Tulsi Gabbard was placed on the TSA’s Quiet Skies watch list after publicly criticizing then-Vice President Kamala Harris, subjecting her to invasive surveillance during domestic flights.
- A Federal Air Marshal’s wife was falsely labeled a "domestic terrorist" and monitored for over three years despite having a mobility disability and no criminal charges.
