    As I’ve posted over the ladt few years, the Feds have been looking for a way to gut the 4th Amendment for a long time. It predates Clonton and was less of an Executive or Legislative decision than it was of the LEA and Intel bureaucracy. The Fed LEA have ridden the razor edge of the Constitution for a long tome, pushing its limits and hoping the courts would allow them to advance their agenda one toehold at a time.
    I’d heard bar talk from people in the business for years before 911 about remotely hacking into peoples’ electronic devices, the Feds came up with a way of hacking into and remotely turning on, without the owner’s knowledge, cell phones in the 90s. Talk was of doing that with computers, any devices that had microphones, and any devices (especially your home entertainment devices) that had cameras. Think about someone, Fed or voyeur (not that there’s much difference), hacking into your home entertainment system and secretly using the camera to view you as you lounge in front of your TV in your ‘confortable’ mode. Or you’ve turned your set off but they’ve hacked into it and turned the camera/mic on without the screen indicating the set’s on and broadcasting.
    Well, it seems our POtuS has advanced the agenda by changing procedures under FRCP 41-B.
    They want to use any Fed magistrate to issue a search warrant anywhere on any electronic device located anywhere. They also want squishy ways to serve that warrant on the target and the ability to delay service until after implimentation of the warrant. Not satisfied with thay overreach thry also want the ability to search, remotely and en masse if thry want, any and all electronic devices within a given area an seize the data stored thereon without notifying the effected individuals if they live within an area the Feds can designate at will.
    Thry also have the right to do that ‘remotely/secretly activating microphones and camera’ thingie that’s been on the table gor decades. If you’re watching TV or using your computer and either has a builtin camera you might wanna make sure you’ve got on clean undies.
    They’ve also, apparently, got that ‘adding tracking/remote monitoring malware’ codified. A year or do back reliable sources were reporting that a cuttingbedge mslware was being inserted on the computers of anyone visiting the White House site. The software would report back to an anonymous computer your address where you went until the malware was removed. That’s where the cutting edge came in, normal malware removal software couldn’t detect it. Now the Feds have permission to judt slam it, and other electronic no-knock software, on systems sans warrant. Aside from getting it slammed on your system when you visit any Federal site (ever read that whole fine-print agreement uou ‘accept’?) I can think of a number of ways they can get it onto your system at their pleasure.
    So we have the honor of living in the last days of the Constitution as a working document. Have your grandchildren savor and remember them so that they can tell theirs what it was like to live when the US was still a democracy. Alkah Akbar, y’all.

        Funny, I know a neurologist who’s using benedryl to reduce brain damage after a stroke. Then again, I bathe in antihistamines as I’m allergic to nearly every pollen in the northern hemisphere yet I still have no desire to vote Hillary.

          I take Benadryl most days myself.

          “As a geriatrician and a memory specialist, I am stunned that diphenhydramine (Benadryl) is still available over-the-counter, in drugs such as Tylenol PM and Advil PM. It may be a reasonably effective sleep aid, but often at the cost of confusion and memory problems for seniors. Early research in Alzheimer’s disease dosed older adults with diphenhydramine (Benadryl) to mimic the confusion of Alzheimer’s. The data were definitive: diphenhydramine (Benadryl) impaired memory and concentration in the elderly. It can also cause urinary retention, which can lead to infection. Though it’s been around for years, I am convinced that today, if a company applied to the FDA to market diphenhydramine (Benadryl) for over-the-counter use, the FDA would reject the application.” – Penn Memory Center Associate Director Dr. Jason Karlawish

            Yeah, and they’re also talking about proton pump inhibitors being involved in dementia-spectrum diseases. They were trying to connect the inhibitors with statins and dementias but in a last-minute save-the-day report (funded by whom?) they absolved the inhibitors from any relationship. Back to medical marijuana, it may not work but you don’t care.
            Interesting remark about ‘…if a company applied to the FDA…’, doesn’t help expliain how these killer drugs do get approved by the FDA.

              Did you read the rest? I don’t know, but the root article is from a university. As I said, I still take Benadryl.

                I have a squinted eye on these reports, they generally don’t include the entire testing protocols so you don’t get to review the decision for yourself, you have to accept the conclusions. I use it occasionally myself and occasionally give it to one of the dogs, prefering fexofenidine for regular use. If it comes down to, as it is today, burning eyes, sneezing, sinus pain, I’ll take whatever though Benadryl is a second choice.

                  I take Benadryl, as I said, because it seems to work without side effects that I’ve noticed. Some of the newer drugs – mostly the ones you take every 12 hours, seems to cause heart palpitations.

                  Me, being somewhat of a conspiracy nut about pharmaceuticals, wonder when a report like this comes out, who wants it out of the way so their NEW and IMPROVED antihistamine can take its place. And, Benadryl is one antihistamine that doesn’t give me other problems. I use it as rarely as I can, but it is the one I use.

    Well, well, well…News is reporting that if she’s elected she’ll fight to make DC the 51st state. That should throw the Senate into the RAT’s paws, two Senators from a predominantly RAT area of less than 700,000 population. Should do a wee bit of damage in the House too but the Senate would really take a hit. There’d be problems like Puerto Rico becoming a state would cause except DC speaks English…..sorta.

        Remember that the POtuS dumped the job of vetting 65-85 thousand potential Moslem terrorists without adaquate manpower (I refuse to say ‘people power), resources or data to work with AND, conveniently, knocked down their time to do it to three months. They sorta got their plates full, convenient, eh?
