As I explained earlier, my health hasn’t been the greatest lately. I now realize that some of it is dehydration, so I’ve been trying to drink more water. That is, if I can stay awake long enough. My sinuses are also acting up. Maybe I’m coming down with a sinus infection?

The FBI’s Gestapo Tactics: Hallmarks of an Authoritarian Regime
August 22, 2022 – By John & Nisha Whitehead
“We want no Gestapo or Secret Police. FBI is tending in that direction.”—Harry Truman
With every passing day, the United States government borrows yet another leaf from Nazi Germany’s playbook: Secret police. Secret courts. Secret government agencies. Surveillance. Censorship. Intimidation. Harassment. Torture. Brutality. Widespread corruption. Entrapment. Indoctrination. Indefinite detention.

Democrats Hope To Gotcha The GOP With Doomed New Net Neutrality Bill
As we’ve long noted, the Trump era attack on net neutrality was one of the more grotesque examples of regulatory capture and corruption in Internet policy history.
The rules, which imposed some very modest restrictions on giant telecom monopolies to prevent them from abusing market power, were very popular among consumers of all political stripes. And the Trump FCC’s repeal involved using a lot of outright lies and even fake and dead people to reduce the oversight of extremely unpopular telecom monopolies.
Despite the Democrats controlling the FCC for more than a year and a half, they still haven’t done anything about it.

Defense Department ‘5G Nationalization’ Charge Is Cover For A Wireless Industry War
The Defense department sought ideas for making even more frequencies available, in a recent Request for Information. One question it posed was whether the department could operate a domestic 5G network and make its capacity available to for-profit firms and others. “They know the answer is no, [the Defense department] should not own and operate a commercial 5G network and they have no notion of doing so,” said Ganley, whose Rivada Networks has unique dual-use technology for sharing 5G networks that would allow the Pentagon, in seconds, to take back the spectrum in a national emergency. Rivada would profit from a spectrum-sharing arrangement. “Sharing raw spectrum, they’ve been every much open to that and they’ve been open to that for some time now,” Ganley said.

Barr Is Said to Be Weighing Whether to Leave Before Trump’s Term Ends
When Mr. Barr left the Justice Department in 1993 after serving as attorney general under President George Bush, he became the general counsel of the telecommunications company GTE Corp., which eventually became Verizon. That stint at the company ended with a $10.4 million payout and made him a millionaire many times over, making it unlikely that he will take another full-time job after he leaves the department.
