Seventy hours ago, at this writing, while on Air Force One, President Barack Obama issued a press release that has been utterly ignored by the Western Press.
The president has openly announced a move against violent plotters inside the US government and espionage agents. He does not use the terms “AIPAC” or “the Israel lobby” but it is highly unlikely he could be referring to anything else.
In fact, we can think of no other group.

Presidential Memorandum — National Insider Threat Policy and Minimum Standards for Executive Branch Insider Threat Programs
MEMORANDUM FOR THE HEADS OF EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENTS AND AGENCIES
SUBJECT: National Insider Threat Policy and Minimum Standards for Executive Branch Insider Threat Programs
This Presidential Memorandum transmits the National Insider Threat Policy and Minimum Standards for Executive Branch Insider Threat Programs (Minimum Standards) to provide direction and guidance to promote the development of effective insider threat programs within departments and agencies to deter, detect, and mitigate actions by employees who may represent a threat to national security. These threats encompass potential espionage, violent acts against the Government or the Nation, and unauthorized disclosure of classified information, including the vast amounts of classified data available on interconnected United States Government computer networks and systems.
The Minimum Standards provide departments and agencies with the minimum elements necessary to establish effective insider threat programs. These elements include the capability to gather, integrate, and centrally analyze and respond to key threat-related information; monitor employee use of classified networks; provide the workforce with insider threat awareness training; and protect the civil liberties and privacy of all personnel.
The resulting insider threat capabilities will strengthen the protection of classified information across the executive branch and reinforce our defenses against both adversaries and insiders who misuse their access and endanger our national security.
BARACK OBAMA

Market Watch seems to think so. The original article also postulates that this is directed at Israel. I will post the link and further comments underneath it.

Will this mean that obama will have to put himself under arrest?
presstv is an Iranian domain?
But then again, it could be referring to Benghazi-gate, or Gunwalker, or a few other scandals....
The list, Ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list

This could include any FReeper or Tea Party protester. “Potential” covers a lot of ground and quite a few Americans are on their way to being labelled as dissidents.

First of all, I don’t like spies regardless of who they are working for. Secondly, you do realize the source of this is the Iranian government, don’t you?
Aimed at Petraeus, Broadwell, etc. and their ilk...
Hmm, is it Israeli or the Chinese? I can’t tell since it doesn’t say ‘Israeli’ or ‘Chinese’, or any other identifier.
Besides, it’s not a law. Congress passes laws, POTUS doesn’t. He just signs them or Vetos them.
And it’s not against a ‘lobby’ since lobbiests lobby politicians.
This appears to be an executive ‘housekeeping’ memo regarding internals of executive agencies.
Nothing to see here.
I think you have this figured out. This is targeted at Tea Party members, gun nuts, and other misc. freedom lovers.
If the libs were so exercised at McCarthy then they ought to be equally exercised at this. Big hypocrites.
Iranian press, doing the job of reporting about Obama that the MSM refuses to do.
No, I don't like spies either. It is curious that this directive comes on the heels of the Israeli war in Gaza and the firings of various military brass. Also, it is not the only report of Obama fears of a military style coup. The source of that rumor was a veterans site.
Despite the source, I believe we must pay attention to his directives and what or who they are aimed at. Your concern is valid, which is why I posted this under personal and not news.
Doesn't stop FReepers from lapping it up. (And spare me the comparisons to MSNBC).
Seems to me.... This is a CVA because of the Petraus affair....
Of course with these clowns.... It could be construed to mean anything....
