5 million with secret clearances? Fuck that. The government shouldn't have so many secrets. And how many have kept their clearances since moving on to private activities and then monetizing the information?
Imagine the money that could be made as a private individual with such knowledge. (Chertof)
She is naming names and they are not suing her into oblivion.
This doesn't seem like the kind of story you can tell about a guy like Hanks without proof to back it up.
But they can track Hussein and passing secrets to people without clearance is a whole new crime. Maybe BHO is smart enough to see the trap, maybe not. Either way…winning.
And if he is confirmed dead or arrested, does that trigger the deadman's release of everything?
The dickhead is not in the government any more. Why does he need clearance?
Why doesn't anyone ask this question?
I'm still amazed his clearance wasn't immediately rescinded when he left office. The only reason I can think is that he is being prosecuted and needs the clearance to read the evidence against him.
Other than that, why does he need it. I would really like to hear him explain that. It would give us all insight into the deep state.
Agreed 100%. Most people, even those who care about this stuff, probably unaware this shit goes on.
On the other hand, there is a need for people to know what was going on in order to make sure it doesn't happen again.
Of course, the good ones are free to speak out at any time, not only separating yourself from them to protect your future there, but also to get this part over with as quickly as possible.
Jerk the bandage off. There will be sharp pain but it will go away soon enough.
Agreed. And some restrictions of lifetime bureaucrats, as well. They should not have more rights/privileges than the people they serve.
Lulz I often wonder what drives me, out of all the people I know, to care so much about this. Maybe genetic, huh?
Operational secrecy is one thing. There can not be 5,000,000 analysts, spies, staff members, etc that need clearance.
Also, explain why, for instance, the JFK & 9/11 investigations needs to be secret.
Quite true. And most of us here don't seem to fit in with the crowd anyway. Something is different. Maybe our minds, for whatever reason, are not susceptible to whatever they do to everyone else.
I'm not sure of any documents. I was discussing the declassifying EO Q talked about. Anon was offering opinion on the timing.
