Not surprised, sadly, that they would actually try to get ppl to think we should be spied on for our safety. What a bunch of...yeah. IC watching everywhere else, but silent about J6/21, hasnt prevented attacks on power stations across the country. Didnt even prevent the guy in Nashville from blowing up an RV in downtown Nashville a few years back.
