GOP Rejects Amendment To Remove ‘Kill Switch’ Technology From Cars

The sci-fi TV show The X-Files broadcast an episode called “Kill Switch” in 1998 about an AI gone rogue. It was a fascinating narrative of technology gone awry, a lesson about not giving too much of your life over to the digital world, told when most people still used dial-up modems to access the internet.

While it may appear to be a sci-fi story, the United States federal government may soon order automakers to add kill switches that authorities may access and use to shut down any newer vehicle.

That may sound like a fantastic concept to many people. After all, we’ve seen criminals flee from the police only to crash into a car with a family inside, murdering innocent people in the process.

So, being able to stop the pursuit early and nearly instantly appears to be a fantastic thing, a potential lifesaver that any law-abiding citizen would eagerly appreciate.

However, as we all have learned when dealing with the government, nothing is as cut and dry as one would hope.

If you give the government an inch, you sure as heck know they will go the extra mile.

Back in November 2021, the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act was passed, and tucked away between the many pages was legislation focusing on combating impaired motorists.

Of course, that completely sounds innocent.

The legislation focused on combating impaired drivers by requiring “advanced drunk and impaired driving prevention technology” as standard equipment.

However, it doesn’t get very clear about what that involves and leaves federal authorities with a lot of leeway.

It is at this point that you should be seeing red flags littered all over the field.

Rep. Thomas Massie, R-Kentucky, and Rep. Harriet Hageman, R-Wyoming, saw these red flags and decided to co-sponsor a budget amendment that would have defunded the federal law requiring vehicles sold after 2026 to have a kill switch.

“This week the House will vote on my amendment to defund the federal mandate that requires all new vehicles be equipped with a kill switch to monitor driver performance and prevent vehicle operation,” Massie said Monday.

“If it passes, my ‘kill switch’ amendment will defund the looming mandate that all new vehicles sold after 2026 be equipped with technology that can automatically disable vehicles,” Massie added.

“Section 24220 of the infrastructure, investment, and jobs act requires all newly manufactured vehicles to be equipped with technology to monitor your performance while driving and to prevent vehicle operation if the car so determines that you are not doing a very good job of driving,” Massie said on November 1st.

“Allowing the car to disable itself I think is troublesome. We don’t have a lot of time. This is supposed to be implemented in 2026. And I don’t know about you all, but I would like to know when I put my family in the car and I’m taking a trip somewhere, the car is not going to disqualify me,” he added.

However, the proposed amendment was defeated in a 229-201 vote on Tuesday evening, with eight delegates abstaining.

199 Republicans and two Democrats voted to repeal the mandate.

210 Democrats and 19 Republicans voted against the measure.

“During debate last night on my amendment to defund the 2026 kill-switch mandate for cars, some Democrats claimed the technology wouldn’t monitor or disable cars. Here’s the actual law I had to read to them,” Massie said.

I am sure you are aware that this is only going to continue getting worse.

The elites want to make us all suffer so that they can push us into the system.

You have heard of Agenda 2030, right?

“You will own nothing, and you will be happy.”

We, as patriotic Americans, have to start making different choices if we want to make a difference today.

Continuing to shop at the same stores and thinking that it will change is not working.

We are funding companies that want to destroy this nation.

Every time we shop with big box stores, we are giving them money to fund our demise and it is time to step away.

Invest in American-made businesses that care about their customers.

Pro-American…

Pro-Freedom…

Pro-Liberty…

And happy to do business with Conservatives!

We need to create a “parallel economy”.

The companies that we have all shopped with for decades do not like conservative politics. Heck, you have even seen credit card companies, online merchants, physical stores (like Bed & Beyond), and many other places cancel conservative customers.

It’s become evident that we need to develop a parallel economy if we’re going to live.

To my utter astonishment, I discovered a business that was already engaging in this very activity, although I had always assumed I might need to build it all by myself, starting from zero.

And they’ve been at it for more than three decades!

Everything about them, from design to production to storage and delivery, is 100% American.

Their founder was even included in Obama’s “Most Dangerous Conservatives” list.

After learning those specifics, I knew I had arrived at my destination.

Why, then, have you not heard of them?

Simply put, they don’t advertise at all.

They prefer to stay off the radar.

Everything is personal invitations only.

That’s how they keep out the bad actors.

But now that I’m working with them, I can get you in, and we can change the world together!

I can’t promise you you’ll get a call immediately, but I can promise to get you in the queue!

So many people have written in to say they want to help us with this endeavor.

And it’s fantastic!

The only catch is that I only have a small team, and so many people are reaching out for invites that we are completely swamped.

I sort of thought that would happen but wasn’t sure about it.

And it’s freaking cool!

However, this only means that your “white glove” concierge response may take a little longer to arrive.

We are making progress, but there is a significant backlog.

So bear with me if you would.

Companies that actively want our extinction should not receive any of our hard-earned money.

They came right out and said they aimed to cut the global population in half, from 8 billion to 500 million.

They want to get rid of 94% of the world’s population right now.

Still, we keep spending our money on their large box businesses because we have few other options.

But that’ll all change today.

Allow me to introduce you to the solution.

It’s time to make the “Big Box Switch” and change where you send your dollars each month.

All of that is real, and I’m so excited to tell you about it. I hope you’ll join the mission with me.

Here’s a quick summary of this company that I’m so excited to now be partnered with on this mission:

Sound good to anyone else?

I can get you in, but you can’t just go sign up.

They only want people on the same mission to join, and they’re happy to say “no” to the Far-Left Libs!

They’ve been doing it for 37 years, and it’s been working great.

Oh, and did I mention the products are non-toxic and don’t have all the chemicals and crap like Red Dye 40 that all the big corporations put in their products to weaken you?

To wear you down?

To make you—and your family—sick?

Because then, when you get sick, you’ll buy their drugs!

Sorry folks, I don’t play that game, and neither does my family.

We’re talking about the last all-natural, grass-fed, no-hormone, massive Black Angus beef cattle ranch in the United States.

Sound good?

We’re talking fluoride-free toothpaste, chemical-free cleaners, and Deet-free mosquito repellant!

What novel concepts, right?

Stop sending your money to these 11 corporations that do not have your best interests at heart.

 

 

It’s an illusion of choice.

There’s only one pro-American, American-made and manufactured, chemical-free, toxin-free, hormone-free, company left, and I’m teaming up with them to FIGHT BACK!

Who’s with me?

If you’d like to find out more and get a FREE personal invite, just go here:  https://bigboxswitch.com/switchwithsassy

Say to them Tell them Sassy sent you, and they’ll give you a call, text, or email in return.

Just chill out when that happens.

If you seek a Free Invite (Link here: https://bigboxswitch.com/switchwithsassy), someone from the inner circle will contact you—and I know how unnerving it may be to get a text message from a number you don’t recognize.

You’re going to have a great time chatting with these people, in my opinion.

And they will assist you in setting everything up.

Who else is sick of ingesting arsenic, cadmium, and lead and is ready to do something about it?

P.S. Since we give each inquiry our undivided attention, we’ll handle them in the order they’re received. If you want in on the fun, you should probably ask for an invitation before it gets too long. My crew is fantastic, but we have limited capacity and operate on a first-come, first-served basis.
