rot behind bars<\/a> for about the next decade.<\/p>\nMike Johnson is not where he belongs. Through a series of unfortunate events, he has become Speaker of the House. Of the actual United States. Of America.<\/p>\n
On the surface, one might assume that these men have very little in common \u2014 aside from general malice and a slew of bad takes.<\/p>\n
But Johnson uses a controversial software on his devices. It is the same type of porn-monitoring software that Josh had on his computer when federal agents arrested him. Weird!!<\/p>\n<\/noscript>Josh Duggar smiles in one of his many, many mug shots. He\u2019s a sick individual.

However, that is not why he is in prison.<\/p>\n
Several years ago, Josh downloaded a series of media files containing child sex-abuse material (CSAM). Specifically, photos and video of prepubescent girls\u2019 lives being ruined for the enjoyment of Josh and other monsters like him.<\/p>\n
Josh did this despite the presence of the extremely creepy software, Covenant Eyes, whose purpose may be even more unsettling than its name. And that\u2019s saying a lot.<\/p>\nMike Johnson (R-LA) gives a brief statement to reporters about the mass shooting in Lewiston, Maine after a meeting with Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese at the U.S. Capitol October 26, 2023.

We cannot emphasize enough how unsettling and deranged the branding on this software sounds.<\/p>\n
Lots of stuff about \u201ctemptations\u201d and \u201csin\u201d gaining \u201cpower\u201d and a \u201cstandard of purity.\u201d That last one sounds like something that the FDA would discuss at a factor that makes peanut butter, but in this case, it means the \u201cpurity\u201d of natural human sexuality.<\/p>\nJosh Duggar appears in handcuffs while in the custody of the Washington County Department of Corrections.

The current Speaker of the House, who holds one of the most powerful political positions on the planet, only became a member of Congress in 2016.<\/p>\n
In a recently resurfaced clip, Johnson spoke about using Covenant Eyes at a panel called \u201cWar on Technology\u201d at Cypress Baptist Church.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt scans all the activity on your phone, or your devices, your laptop, what have you,\u201d he described at the time.<\/p>\nNewly elected Speaker of the House Rep.

\u201cSo my accountability partner right now is Jack, my son\u2026 He\u2019s 17,\u201d he detailed. That\u2019s inappropriate for so <\/em>many reasons. \u201cSo he and I get a report of all the things that are on our phones, all of our devices, once a week.\u201d<\/p>\nJohnson explained: \u201cIf anything objectionable comes up, your accountability partner gets an immediate notice. I\u2019m proud to tell ya, my son has got a clean slate.\u201d The association of, again, normal human sexuality with being unclean <\/em>remains disturbing.<\/p>\nAnna Duggar and Josh Duggar are featured in this photo, from way back in the day on the show 19 Kids and Counting. (Photo Credit: TLC)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\nIn addition to the \u201coh no, this creepy dude wields actual political power in our country<\/em>\u201d panic, a number of social media users have raised the alarm about security.<\/p>\nA non-secure outside company may have unfettered access to the Speaker of the House\u2019s devices.<\/p>\n
Covenant Eyes is a company where most customers are cheating partners, their spouses, or toxic parents who invade their teens\u2019 privacy. Marketing spyware to cult members does not necessarily prepare them for security breaches from hostile foreign powers that covet state secrets.<\/p>\nRep. Mike Johnson (R-LA) speaks alongside fellow House Republicans after he was elected as the Republican Speaker nominee during a conference meeting in the Longworth House Office Building on Capitol Hill on October 24, 2023. This meeting was particularly infamous after Virginia Foxx told a reporter to \u201cshut up\u201d in response to a simple policy question. (Photo Credit: Justin Sullivan\/Getty Images)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\nNow, none of this is surprising or off-brand for Johnson.<\/p>\n
This is a man who has alarmingly close ties to Christian nationalism and has expressed unspeakable bigotry against the LGBTQ+ community.<\/p>\n
In that regard, he has a great deal in common with Josh Duggar and with most of his family and their twisted beliefs.<\/p>\nJosh Duggar and Ted Cruz were once political allies. Now the GOP presidential hopeful is doing his best to keep his distance from Josh ans his scandal-plagued family. (Photo Credit: Instagram)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\nAnna had Covenant Eyes on Josh\u2019s devices. In addition to having sexually abused little girls, Josh also had a scandal for cheating on her and watching adult and presumably normal pornography. In their cult, it\u2019s all the same.<\/p>\n
Because of this software, Josh partitioned part of his computer \u2014 effectively hiding it from spyware. Imagine it like hiding a room from a robot vacuum cleaner by simply blocking off the doorway. <\/p>\n
The robot vacuum thinks that the house ends there \u2014 and the spyware similarly doesn\u2019t know about an entire other section of your device.<\/p>\nRep. Mike Johnson (R-LA) applauds alongside fellow lawmakers as the House of Representatives holds an election for a new Speaker of the House at the U.S. Capitol on October 25, 2023. (Photo Credit: Win McNamee\/Getty Images)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\nAt the risk of sounding like we\u2019re praising this creepy software, it\u2019s likely a good thing that Josh avoided focusing upon it.<\/p>\n
He clearly put a lot of time and energy into hiding his search for CSAM from his wife. As a result, he clearly forgot to hide it from the United States government. <\/p>\n
In the Duggar cult, it\u2019s all the same. To the United States government, CSAM is a crime because it has actual <\/em>victims, while pornography is just video of adults that\u2019s not really anyone else\u2019s business. Unless, perhaps, Speaker Johnson gets his way.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\nSource link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Josh Duggar is in prison where he belongs.
