Sex-crazed government workers could be leakers, Obama admin warns
The Daily Caller ^ | 7-10-2013

Government workers with “a lust for money and sex” could be potential “insider threats” to the government, according to the Obama administration.

The Obama administration has quietly implemented the “Insider Threat Program” to force federal employees to report their co-workers if they identify signs that they might harm the government’s interests from within.

“Insiders who seek to harm U.S. security interests normally are either long-term plants or they are people who have been lured to betray their nation for ideological reasons, a lust for money or sex, or through blackmail,” warns the Office of the National Counterintelligence Executive on its website, the federal government’s top counterintelligence agency.

The administration’s “Insider Threat Program” requires federal employees to report “indicators of insider threat behavior” among their own colleagues, in order to defend against potential spies and security leaks.

Obama created the program by executive order in October 2011, after soldier Bradley Manning leaked classified military information to Wikileaks. The program triggers investigations into federal employee conduct both in the office and online, where computer network monitoring systems patrol for “suspicious user behavior.”

The program requires federal workers to pay close attention to their colleagues’ lifestyle patterns — with odd working hours or unexplained travel indicators of suspicious activity.

But the federal government also identified “a lust for money or sex” as one of the primary motivating factors for espionage in its description of potential “insider threats” posted online prior to the public revelation Wednesday of Obama’s program.

Faggots can be treasonous? Say it ain’t so! Hollywood and Big Media never told me.

Everyone I knew who ever handled classified material knew they had an obligation to protect it. That was part of our recurring training. We didn’t need a special office to let us know we were obligated to report potential disclosures, to include people using the materials suspiciously, to our supervisors and security managers.

They ALWAYS have been. This is not new news.

It’s why CIA screened out homosexuals. Why they should continue to do so. Both are huge potential blackmail opportunities for foreign powers.

The frequency of my seeing references to the “Caligula-Donkey/Ass” story is increasingly escalating.

The first person 0bama should investigate is the gay man who is pretending to be married. Or the Muslim man who is pretending to be Christian. Or the Marxist who is pretending to be a Democrat. Or the illegal alien who is pretending to be an American citizen. Look in the mirror, 0bama!

Wow. Flash news. A celebrating swine would destroy the hull of the boat to create a fire in his arse and campaign his pride on the deck.

This is a testament to how dangerously out of control and governance this country is. As the General now says, you the NCOs are really in charge.

The bureaucracy is staffed with eunuchs.

Makes sense, doesn’t it?

Watch out, Anthony Weiner is working his way back to the inside.

Many years ago NSA studied the indicators and found: spouse almost always knows; unexplained wealth is an indicator; and (believe it or not) another indicator is photography as a hobby.

Ludicrous!

The average person is not qualified to determine what “behavior” may or may not be a threat. Actually, those who ARE qualified in behavioral science - are not qualified.

We all know what this is about....

Obamas army: queers, snitches, tattletales and fill-in-the blanks.

"Sex-crazed government workers could be leakers, Obama admin warns ..."

.... Obviously A veiled cover reason given to the left as they are sent out to dig deep into life habits of every Tea Party/Conservative Leader and talking head in an effort to garner more leverage for the upcoming mid term elections. All employees, assets and operatives are probably fed this spin to alleviate any feelings of wrongdoing as they head out to spy on their fellow citizens. Similar spin was probably given to the NSA and IRS employees as they were given their targets.
