American Stasi: Tulsi Gabbard Confirms "Quiet Skies" Nightmare
Placed on a terror list, the former Hawaii congresswoman and her husband were tailed by Air Marshals and bomb dogs. "Unconstitutional on every level," she says. "And I'm not the only one."https://t.co/sziu9pQm3D pic.twitter.com/Q0c930btWi

There are lots of fascinating aspects to this story, not the least of which is that a TSA agent told Gabbard that this is happening to lots of Trump supporters all of a sudden. 

First, some of the details:

Tuesday night, while self-styled Democratic nominee Kamala Harris pledged to defend “freedom, compassion, and the rule of law” to cheers in Philadelphia, Hawaii’s Tulsi Gabbard described being tracked by teams of government agents in a surveillance regime more reminiscent of East Germany than a free country. Whistleblowing Air Marshals told Uncover DC Gabbard was singled out as a terror threat under the so-called “Quiet Skies” program, and the former presidential candidate says she noticed.

“The whistleblowers’ account matches my experience,” says Gabbard. “Everything lines up to the day.”

This story began two weeks ago, when the former Hawaii congresswoman returned home after a short trip abroad. In airport after airport, she and her husband Abraham Williams encountered obstacles. First on a flight from Rome to Dallas, then a connecting flight to Austin, and later on different flights for both to cities like Nashville, Orlando, and Atlanta, their boarding passes were marked with the “SSSS” designation, which stands for “Secondary Security Screening Selection.” The “Quad-S” marker is often a sign the traveler has been put on a threat list, and Gabbard and Williams were forced into extensive “random” searches lasting as long as 45 minutes.

“It happened every time I boarded,” says Gabbard. The Iraq war veteran and current Army reservist tends to pack light, but no matter.

This is Tulsi Gabbard. Former CONGRESSWOMAN and veteran Tulsi Gabbard. Subjected to long searches, being followed in airports, and being accompanied by undercover air marshals as she flies. 

Of course she is. She is a critic of the regime and a supporter of Donald Trump 

If you were wondering why Tulsi Gabbard would be put on a terrorist watch list, wonder no more. She is telling the truth about the system. Namely, that the government is ran by the unelected bureaucracy, MIC and intelligence agencies.

You may not know this, but the same Quiet Skies program is used to classify people who visited Washington D.C. on or around January 6th as potential domestic terrorists, whether they had anything to do with the riot or not. Enormous resources are employed to track totally innocent and often unknowing people. 

The whistleblowers first shared the information with Sonya LaBosco, the Executive Director of the Air Marshal National Council (AMNC), a national advocacy group for the Federal Air Marshals (FAMs). According to LaBosco, at least one of the whistleblowers is ready to go on the record with pertinent documentation. LaBosco shared that Gabbard is unaware she has two Explosive Detection Canine Teams, one Transportation Security Specialist (explosives), one plainclothes TSA Supervisor, and three Federal Air Marshals on every flight she boards. LaBosco has attempted to contact Gabbard and her staff but has not received a response.

LaBosco and AMNC President David Londo have repeatedly testified on behalf of FAMS. They have also written countless letters concerning the classification of innocent Americans as domestic terrorists to the Committee on Homeland Security and Government Affairs, the House Homeland Committee, the Committee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government, and the House Oversight Committee.

Because of ongoing whistleblower information, LaBosco believes TSA and Homeland Security are violating citizens’ constitutional rights in a “big domestic surveillance grab” that seems to be targeting conservatives.

UncoverDC broke a story in November 2023 about A.J. Fischer’s infant son, who continues to be enrolled in the program because his father attended the Jan. 6 Capitol protests. J6 attendee Bryan Smith, who served 20 years with unblemished service, is also on the list. So is the wife of an active Air Marshal who was in D.C. on Jan. 6 but did not attend the Capitol protest.

Tulsi Gabbard wasn't put on the Quiet Skies list for that reason, though. She was put on the list for being a critic of Biden and Harris. 

It's straight up political persecution. 

“I’ve got a couple of blazers in there, and they’re squeezing every inch of the entire collar, every inch of the sleeves, every inch of the edging of the blazers,” she says. “They’re squeezing or padding down underwear, bras, workout clothes, every inch of every piece of clothing.” Agents unzipped the lining inside the roller board of her suitcase, patting down every inch inside the liner. Gabbard was asked to take every piece of electronics out and turn each on, including her military phone and computer.

That was the other strange thing. “I use my military ID to get through security sometimes,” says Gabbard, who among other things traveled to her reservist base in Oklahoma during this period. Once, she was unable to get through security with military ID. Transportation Security Administration (TSA) agent saw the “SSSS” marker. “The TSA agent said, ‘Why are you Quad-S? You’re in the military,’” explains Gabbard. “And I said, ‘That’s exactly what I’m wondering.’

Gabbard goes on: “Then I said, ‘The only thing I can think of is, I work in politics.’ And he said, oh.”

The agent told her he’d encountered supporters of a certain former president who’d had no issues traveling before, but were now “marked quad-S every time they traveled.” Gabbard shrugged and slogged through, still encountering extra security. At one flight, she says, there were “at least six TSA agents doing additional screening,” along with canine support. “There were dogs in Dallas when we got there, dogs at a couple of the gates.”

This is an intimidation tactic, of course. "We can make your life difficult" if you don't bend the knee, and it is just one of the many tools the regime uses to make life hell for people whom they choose to target. 

Uncover DC said Gabbard was initially placed on the list on July 23rd, and that trios of Air Marshals first began following her on flights on July 25th. As Racket would learn, surveillance was conducted on at least eight flights, with different three-Marshal teams for each flight, part of the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) “Quiet Skies” regimen that can literally surround people with human watchers. There are “potentially 15 or more TSA uniformed and plain clothes” at a gate for such assignments, LaBosco told Racket. The story about Gabbard was surfaced by two TSA whistleblowers, including one detailed to follow her. When Gabbard read this, she felt a shock of recognition.

“When I saw that, I thought, ‘Wow, okay. So everything I was experiencing was exactly what I feared was going on,’” she says.

The whole point of this is to keep people looking over their shoulders and convince them that resistance isn't worth the cost. 

Give in, and we will leave you alone. Don't comply, and we can make your life difficult. 

🚨EXCLUSIVE SCOOP🚨

TSA's Office of Inspection Case Management has opened an investigation into who leaked this report.

Earlier this morning, TSA wouldn't deny my claims that Tulsi Gabbard was added to a terror watchlist.

Gabbard has also confirmed this report to @mtaibbi.… https://t.co/SJrHXNsB8P

No matter how bad you think the current inhabitants of the White House are, you have grossly underestimated the level of evil they have reached. 

As Mark Judge says, they are the American Stasi. And now he's got Matt Taibbi using that description as well.
