Shadowy Watchlisting Council Has Control Over Your Legal Rights - And It Does Not Really Exist
By all commonly accepted standards, the Watchlisting Advisory Council (WLAC) does not exist. It has no physical offices, no employees and was not established under any discernible legal authority. Yet this Council, which meets quarterly to advise the National Security Council, has the power to decide if you have legal rights or not.
Disclosures in recent legal cases have resulted in the WLAC emerging partially from the shadows. It has been determined, through legal depositions of FBI employees conducted by the Muslim civil rights organization, CAIR, that the following agencies have a representative on the WLAC: the FBI, TSA, CBP, the NCTC and the Department of Homeland Security. It appears that the WLAC was formed somewhere around 2008. According to the government lawyer, Amy Powell, representing FBI Special Agent Matthew DeSarno during his CAIR deposition, the "law enforcement privilege and state secrets privilege" prohibited DeSarno from revealing if the State Department and the CIA were represented on the WLAC.
Throughout the deposition, Powell repeatedly challenged the questions tendered by CAIR lawyer Gadeir Abbas, and instructed DeSarno not to answer the questions. Nevertheless, a picture is coalescing of a supra-organizational group, which has no legal accountability written into its apparently non-existent charter, and which has the potential and power to simply devastate an individual's constitutional rights.
As discussed in documents filed by CAIR in a federal court case challenging the constitutionality of the Terrorist Watchlist, the Terrorist Watchlist can do far more than simply curtail an individual's travel plans. As CAIR lays out in one legal document, those placed on the Watchlist "...have suffered a range of adverse consequences without a constitutionally adequate remedy." These adverse circumstances include a broad range of impacts, including employment issues, law enforcement treatment, vetting and credentialing and impact on public reputation, among others. A lawsuit filed in federal court by CAIR also lists at least one watchlisted individual who had to be transported to a hospital after he was detained in an airport.
In fact, CAIR has uncovered that this so-called secret government database of suspected terrorists has been shared widely with non-government groups, including hospitals and universities. In addition, the list has been shared with over 60 foreign countries.
The importance of the Watchlisting Advisory Council again emerged in the government's response to a demand by Federal Judge Anthony Trenga that it supply revisions to the Watchlisting system, which he had declared unconstitutional in a widely hailed decision in September of 2019. Judge Trenga ruled that the Watchlist violated the rights of those on it.
The revisions were meant to bring the Watchlisting system into accordance with constitutional provisions for due process and notice. As it stands, there exists no legal remedy should one be inappropriately watchlisted.

Q Research General #2805 Friday Night and A Break from the Week Edition
Have any Anons posted anything about Paramount TV President Amy Powell being fired for allegedly making insensitive comments?
Last bread some Anon posted about Whoopi Goldberg's then-boyfriend, Ted Danson, wearing blackface and saying "N-word" at the Friar's Club roast without any repurcussions whatsoever.
The firing of this Paramount TV president is allegedly over things she said, but I have to wonder if this firing is a pretext for something deeper and, perhpas, more sinister.
In other words, did Amy Powell speak out against something? Does she know too much about something? I THINK WE SHOULD DIG INTO Amy Powell AND PARAMOUNT TV. . . . .
If I were Amy Powell I'd hire some security, burn my scarves, and remove all the doorknobs from my house. Just sayin'.

Paramount Television President Amy Powell has been fired after making inappropriate comments, the movie and TV studio's Chief Executive Jim Gianopulos told staff Thursday.
In a memo obtained by The Times, Gianopulos told staff multiple people raised concerns about Powell's unspecified comments last week, sparking an internal investigation by the company. It was not immediately clear what Powell said that led to her ouster, but a person familiar with the matter said she made racially charged remarks in a meeting attended by multiple people.
"Having spent the past several days conducting a thorough investigation into this matter and speaking to those who were present, our Human Resources and Legal teams came to the same conclusion, and we have made the decision to terminate Amy's employment, effective immediately," Gianopulos said.
Powell has denied making the insensitive comments.
"There is no truth to the allegation that I made insensitive comments in a professional setting - or in any setting," she said in a statement. "The facts will come out and I will be vindicated."
The firing comes a month after Netflix ousted its chief communications officer for using a racial slur on at least two occasions in the workplace. Company CEO Reed Hastings said in a memo to employees he dismissed Jonathan Friedland after deciding that what he said wasn't "in line with our values as a company."
Powell was named president of the Viacom Inc.-owned Paramount Television in 2013, picked by then-CEO Brad Grey to ramp up the storied Los Angeles studio's efforts for the small screen.
Powell, who began her career at CNN, joined Paramount in 2004 after working in interactive marketing at Sony Pictures.
Under her tenure, the studio's TV division produced shows such as "13 Reasons Why" for Netflix, "School of Rock" for Viacom's Nickelodeon network, and "The Alienist" on TNT. Its upcoming shows include "Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan" on Amazon.
"While it is incredibly difficult to part ways with a valued member of our community, it is imperative that we uphold our values and ensure that all employees feel safe and included in the workplace," Gianopulos wrote to staff.
"Importantly, I want to take this opportunity to remind everyone of the type of company and culture we're committed to building at Paramount," Gianopulos added. "It's one of inclusion, honesty and accountability - where diversity is critical to ensuring that all ideas, backgrounds and perspectives are embraced and respected."
