“Insider Threat Program”: How the White House is keeping federal workers quiet (YIKES!)
Hot Air ^ | June 21,2013

Posted on 06/21/2013 6:41:30 AM PDT by SE Mom

President Barack Obama’s unprecedented initiative, known as the Insider Threat Program, is sweeping in its reach. It has received scant public attention even though it extends beyond the U.S. national security bureaucracies to most federal departments and agencies nationwide, including the Peace Corps, the Social Security Administration and the Education and Agriculture departments. It emphasizes leaks of classified material, but catchall definitions of “insider threat” give agencies latitude to pursue and penalize a range of other conduct.

Government documents reviewed by McClatchy illustrate how some agencies are using that latitude to pursue unauthorized disclosures of any information, not just classified material. They also show how millions of federal employees and contractors must watch for “high-risk persons or behaviors” among co-workers and could face penalties, including criminal charges, for failing to report them. Leaks to the media are equated with espionage.

“Hammer this fact home . . . leaking is tantamount to aiding the enemies of the United States,” says a June 1, 2012, Defense Department strategy for the program that was obtained by McClatchy.

Yup, first he says he’s ONLY seen the docs, then he says he SENT COPIES of certified naturalization docs to Orly!

Good grief...

I want the little sh*ts to spell out who exactly IS the enemy... If it's the political opponents of Obama, then those making war against the citizens of this country need to be arrested - even if they are part of the 'Defense Department'....

You know, I really wonder about this. The original report is from McClatchy New Service, which leans about as far to the Left as is humanly possible. Why would they all of a sudden be criticizing the BO administration?

You should ask Orly if she received evidence of Obama’s naturalization as a U.S. Citizen. I don’t think Orly believes in Attorney-Client privilege or she believes Attorney-Client privilege protects the attorney and not the client.

Law office of State Department whistleblower burglarized.

Watch your back, Ray. I have personal knowledge of what I’m dealing with and what they are capable of. You seem to enjoy throwing caution to the wind. You should rethink your strategy.

You mistake me for someone else, I have no connection with the State Department or their law office.

You have made contradictory statements, that you “have seen” a certificate of naturalization and that “you have” that certificate of naturalization. Since you have this certificate perhaps you should watch your back.

Meanwhile, your credibility is imploding.

I suppose, as a federal contractor, I’d better not argue for lower taxes, an end to welfare and abortion or a repeal of gun control laws at work anymore, lest I be considered a “high-risk person.”

Oh, who am I kidding? I see no need to change. This IS the FEDERAL government; they’ll be too stupid and incompetent to actually come after a “small fry” like me!

PING!
