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

More to the point, is there any evidence this is a genuine memo and not made up out of whole cloth by the Iranians?
The term “Insider Threat” seems like an odd one for a government so enthralled with euphemisms.
Although if the Iranians just concocted it, they did an unusually good job.
Have you actually clicked through on this link? Is it legit?
hehe
It’s a real EO and seems to be warning the Executive branch minions against leaking material damaging to him.
But that doesn’t stop the Jew-hate fantasies, in Iran or on FR.
Yes. Disinformation, big time. Kooksville repeats the lies of the Iranian Mullahs and the Russian KGB (Russian TV) as far and wide as possible. Sad.
When I was an instructor in the Navy, NIS would interview me as part of the security clearance checks for former students. One of the first questions was always “Is he a true blue American who is loyal to the government and the Constitution?” Now, this was 1983 and Reagan was president, so I believed that the government and Constitution are virtually the same thing.
But, if someone was doing a background check on me today, any of my friends would have to say “Yes, No, and Yes” to that question if they were being honest.
Part of this EO is aimed at eliminating whistleblowers by insuring that people who don’t have leftist ideological purity aren’t placed in a position to blow a whistle.
Obama is a snunk
The new assigned duty for all Executive Br. employees is that they must now inform on their fellow employees. Everyone is now a snitch for 0, watching and listening. Reporting is a ‘subjective’ game, based on how a “threat” is perceived by the snitch. This will certainly create a nice divisive work environment. 0’s faithful minions will use the E.O. as leverage against disliked fellow employees. It will create workplace class warfare in the extreme. Employees can now intimidate and snitch on fellow employees with the authority of an E.O. Expressed negative thoughts and First Amendment rights are out the window, the Constitution be damned. I presume removal or dismissal will be the punishment for anyone who the regime concludes after the fact should have but failed to timely rat out his/her fellow employee(s).
Agreed; the type of thing that should never have to even be put into writing, frankly.
The link to the gov’t is legit. The commentary- is another question. :)
