On June 4, 2026 the Senate convened at 9:30am and did not adjourn until 5:15am on June 5, 2026. What did they accomplish during this almost 20 hours? They discussed and voted upon 2 bills: S1318 and S2 (the final 2 votes were published after I posted my June 5, 2026 ANP Article). First I will discuss S1318 followed by discussing S2.
S1318 – Fallen Servicemembers Religious Heritage Restoration Act was introduced by Jerry Moran (R-KS) on April 7, 2025 and sounds like something you would want to see passed. What you can’t tell from the bill number or title is that the Senate pulled a fast one on We The People. It is not until we view the actual text of this ‘revised’ S1318 that we see that this bill:
TRUTH LIVES on at https://sgtreport.tv/
may be cited as the “Foreign Intelligence Accountability Act” and the “Anti-CBDC Surveillance State Act”.
The Senate gutted the original S1318, leaving only the original title. This ‘new’ version of S1318 is summarized as follows:
This bill reauthorizes Title VII of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) until April 30, 2029, and expands protections related to surveillance under Section 702 of FISA. It also prohibits a Federal Reserve bank from offering financial products or services directly to an individual, maintaining an account on behalf of an individual, or issuing a central bank digital currency (CBDC).
Section 702 of FISA concerns acquiring communications of non-U.S. persons believed to be outside the United States to obtain foreign intelligence information. Information about U.S. persons may incidentally be acquired by this type of surveillance and subsequently queried (searched) under certain circumstances.
Changes to Section 702 include requiring monthly reviews by the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) for each U.S. person query conducted by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). ODNI must refer queries that do not comply with established standards, as well as possible abuses of civil liberties or privacy, to the Office of the Intelligence Community Inspector General.
The bill institutes criminal penalties for (1) those who knowingly and willingly falsify or materially misrepresent complying with querying procedures, and (2) FBI personnel who knowingly and willingly violate procedures related to U.S. person queries.
FBI supervisors may no longer approve U.S. person queries; only certain FBI attorneys may do so.
The Federal Reserve System’s Board of Governors may not use a CBDC to implement monetary policy or test, study, create, or implement a CBDC, with certain exceptions.
The gutted bill itself now has 2 acts/titles with multiple sections (clicking on the link will take you to that section of the bill):
