Representative Maxine Waters cited historical events like Ruby Ridge and the Oklahoma City bombing to argue for increased focus on domestic terrorism. During a committee hearing, she suggested that privacy concerns should not prevent the government from getting a "fix" on "lone killers" and white nationalists. The hosts interpret her comments as an open call for expanded domestic spying on American citizens.

- **Published:** 2016-10-27

- **Transcript:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/872-kinetic-kill/chapter/ncis-new-orleans-drone-swarm-and-cia-domestic-operations.md

An episode of NCIS: New Orleans featuring a "swarm of drones" and CIA agents operating on domestic soil is analyzed as predictive programming. The hosts suggest the show is acclimating the public to the presence of law enforcement drones and the normalization of intelligence agencies working within US borders. They note the "mixed messages" in television dramas that both exalt and criticize federal agencies.

### Executive Order 12333, CIA Domestic Spying Denial

- **Episode:** [587: People the Board](https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/587-people-the-board.md)
- **Published:** 2014-02-01

James Clapper's testimony regarding Executive Order 12333 is scrutinized, particularly his non-answer regarding CIA domestic spying. When asked if the CIA conducts searches of U.S. citizens, Clapper responds that the agency follows the "spirit of the law" rather than giving a direct denial. The hosts interpret this as a "performative" evasion typical of intelligence officials under oath.

Listener feedback is addressed regarding whether the show's hosts have been compromised by the NSA or CIA.

The hosts deny being influenced, maintaining their critical stance on domestic spying.

President Barack Obama appeared on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno to discuss the NSA, Edward Snowden, and embassy closings. The hosts critique the interview as a scripted propaganda event, highlighting Obama's claim that the U.S. does not have a domestic spying program. They also note a gaffe where Obama compared terrorist attack risks to car accidents using the word "unfortunately."

- **Transcript:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/438-social-media-weapons/chapter/william-binney-nsa-stellar-wind-surveillance.md

NSA whistleblower William Binney detailed the "Stellar Wind" program, which repurposed foreign intelligence tools for domestic spying on American citizens. Binney explained how the government maps "social graphs" across multiple domains—including banking and phone calls—to create a 10-year timeline of an individual's life. He noted that social networks like Facebook provide a "bonanza" of voluntary data for these surveillance systems.

- **Transcript:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/232-eating-the-evidence/chapter/spy-satellites-authorized-for-us-domestic-law-enforcement.md

The Director of National Intelligence has authorized the use of military spy satellites by domestic law enforcement and civilian agencies. While officials claim the satellites cannot see faces or listen to conversations, privacy groups express concern over the lack of oversight. The hosts speculate that many "UFO" sightings are actually Predator drones or other surveillance craft being deployed over American cities.

### FISA Bill and Obama Support for Telecom Immunity

- **Episode:** [36: Yahoo+Microsoft=Britney Spears](https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/36-yahoo-microsoft-britney-spears.md)
- **Published:** 2008-06-22

- **Transcript:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/36-yahoo-microsoft-britney-spears/chapter/fisa-bill-and-obama-support-for-telecom-immunity.md

The US House of Representatives passed a FISA expansion bill that grants retroactive immunity to telecommunications companies that participated in warrantless wiretapping. Senator Barack Obama's support for the bill has caused disappointment among his base, while Representative Ron Paul remains a vocal opponent. The legislation effectively shields companies from prosecution for violating prior privacy laws.
