An amendment headed for a vote Friday "would put in place the largest expansion of domestic surveillance since the Patriot Act," one privacy advocate warned.
JAKE JOHNSON Apr 12, 2024
The U.S. House is expected to vote Friday on legislation to reauthorize a surveillance authority that intelligence agencies have heavily abused to collect the communications of American activists, journalists, and lawmakers without a warrant.
Friday's vote will come after House Republicans earlier this week blocked
see Speaker Mike Johnson's (R-La.) attempt to advance legislation reauthorizing Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA), which allows U.S. agencies to spy on non-citizens located outside of the country.

Video: FBI abused FISA 278,000+ times in 2021: Report
A resurfaced report shows that the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) misused Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) to conduct warrantless searches against U.S. citizens over 278,000 times from 2020 to 2021.
Sharing a Fox News video report on the number of times the FBI misused FISA to monitor Americans in 2020 and 2021, Turning Point CEO Charlie Kirk tweeted, “My team and I were searching for this story all morning and finally found it. It’s been memory-holed unless you know the exact number of times the FBI abused FISA in 2021: 278,000 times.”

FBI Coverup
April 14, 2020 Jim Sullivan
McPhee lays out the situation: “Morley was a young man from Topsfield. Fifty-five days after the Boston Marathon, he attacked his mother, who he was living with, and his mother’s companion. They crawled out of a window to escape his rampage. The police come, there’s a long standoff. Finally, they get Daniel Morley to surrender and get him in an ambulance to be evaluated mentally.
“The mother tells a Topsfield police sergeant ‘My son was friends with Tamerlan and he told me he’s done something he’s going to answer to God for.’ Of course, the cops were alarmed and they asked for permission to search his room and what’s found in that room? Practically every component to the Boston Marathon bombs. Those green circuit boards, the BBs, the empty box top to a six-quart Fagor pressure cooker, which is the exact size and brand used [in the bombings] and are hard to find. They only sell them at Macy’s.”
McPhee says she believes Tamerlan “had a relationship with various federal agencies before the Boston Marathon attack, but it’s too complicated to point the finger at any one entity.” She writes that the FBI recruited Tamerlan as an operative in 2010, ironically enough in an attempt to thwart Islamic terrorist plots, before he became radicalized.

A quantitative description of FBI public relations
Dirk C. Gibson
Abstract
Of all federal government agencies in the U.S. from the 1930's to the 1980's, the Federal Bureau of Investigation probably had the most successful media relations program. The Bureau's leaders seemed to be masters at getting good publicity and avoiding bad.
By describing a quantitative analysis of the FBI's publicity over that 50-year period, this article attempts to show why those efforts were so successful. It identifies the themes that typified the verbal component of Bureau publicity, and the broad spectrum of mass communication channels that were tapped.
https://cornerstone.lib.mnsu.edu/univer ... thors/141/Branding Hoover's FBI: How the Boss's PR Men Sold the Bureau to America
Matthew Cecil, Minnesota State University, Mankato
Hunting down America’s public enemies was just one of the FBI’s jobs. Another—perhaps more vital and certainly more covert—was the job of promoting the importance and power of the FBI, a process that Matthew Cecil unfolds clearly for the first time in this eye-opening book. The story of the PR men who fashioned the Hoover era, Branding Hoover’s FBI reveals precisely how the Bureau became a monolithic organization of thousands of agents who lived and breathed a well-crafted public relations message, image, and worldview. Accordingly, the book shows how the public was persuaded—some would say conned—into buying and even bolstering that image.
Just fifteen years after a theater impresario coined the term “public relations,” the FBI under J. Edgar Hoover began practicing a sophisticated version of the activity. Cecil introduces those agency PR men in Washington who put their singular talents to work by enforcing and amplifying Hoover's message. Louis B. Nichols, overseer of the Crime Records Section for more than twenty years, was a master of bend-your-ear networking. Milton A. Jones brought meticulous analysis to bear on the mission; Fern Stukenbroeker, a gift for eloquence; and Cartha “Deke” DeLoach, a singular charm and ambition. Branding Hoover’s FBI examines key moments when this dedicated cadre, all working under the protective wing of Associate Director Clyde Tolson, manipulated public perceptions of the Bureau (was the Dillinger triumph really what it seemed?). In these critical moments, the book allows us to understand as never before how America came to see the FBI’s law enforcement successes and overlook the dubious accomplishments, such as domestic surveillance, that truly defined the Hoover era.

As one of the oldest and largest youth organizations in the country, the Boy Scouts of America have been on the FBI’s radar since the Hoover era, when the Director helped the BSA develop a fingerprinting merit badge. The Bureau’s 500-page file spans 70 years, including recent allegations that BSA leaders manipulated enrollment numbers and even created “ghost” units to qualify for federal funding.
