Freedom of speech: why some hate Trump's selections

 this is from 3 years ago and explains why Nunes and Patel are feared.

Nunes was the point man in Congress, but congress investigates but can't get the evidence or do anything about bad stuff?

here is a follow up from two months ago:

Nunes got destroyed with a bimbo eruption problem, but presumably Patel will also be threatened.

this spying must be going on today because one other of Trump's proposed selections is getting a full court press trying to destroy him that includes a private email from his mother from eight years ago telling him to calm down.

On Wednesday, Pete Hegseth’s mother accused the Times of making “threats” by calling about its story on an email she had sent to her son six years earlier that criticized his treatment of women. Penelope Hegseth sought and received an interview on Fox News Channel to support her son, whose confirmation chances are threatened by a series of damaging stories about his personal conduct. At one point, she said she wanted to directly tell President-elect Trump that her son “is not that man he was seven years ago.”

So who hacked his private email. Isn't this a crime?

and who released this email to the mainstream media? If an anonymous person tried this, the reporter would ignore it. So one suspects the one who leaked the email had known connections either to the government or to a large organization who felt they were above the law.

Alas even while these illegal misuse of government power for political reasons is being brought to light, the manipulations continue.

and it's not just email: You might find you can't open a bank account or find that your bank account is canceled.

The first happened to Melania Trump 

But the second, about canceling the bank accounts of Faith related organizations.: as CBN reported last year:

An increasing number of Christian and conservative organizations say they're being 'de-banked.' Accounts are closed, payment processors are turned off, or some are placed on a donor 'blacklist.' Banking and financial services have become weaponized. Christian and conservative groups labeled 'high risk' can be denied financial services, and it's happening under the cover of federal banking laws.

the article sites several small organizations, but this one, the National foundation for religious freedom, I am familiar with because they fight for religious freedom.

Senator Brownbacks article on what happened LINK

But abuses to stop freedom of speech and freedom of religion go beyond banks worried about these organizations laundering money etc. which of course happens (faith based organizations are naive and tend to be targets for fraudsters. Heck, the infiltration of the Mafia into the Vatican banks has been an ongoing story for 100 years.)

But it goes beyond banks: Catholic newspaper NCRegister, article from last week on the Biden's push against religious organizations and individual people of faith.

So where do you get the news? A lot has been published about Trumpieboy going to Joe Rogan and how the takeback of Twitter to make it open to free speech has changed things. But religiously linked news organizations have followed the story too: CBN and NCRegister are Christian and Epoch news was started as a way to get out the news of China's persecution of the FalunGong and grew into a major source of news.
