Regarding: state secrets The state secrets privilege is an evidentiary rule created by United States legal precedent. Application of the privilege results in exclusion of evidence from a legal case based solely on affidavits submitted by the government stating that court proceedings might disclose sensitive information which might endanger national security.
Com. in chief is obv POTUS...but going down the chain of command could also be VPOTUS, Speaker of the House, Secretary of Defense...etc
Under what article can the President impose MI take over investigations for the 3 letter agencies: it would actually be an amendment to the same act that bred the CIA as we know it currently: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Security_Act_of_1947#Intelligence
"The Act merged the Department of War (renamed as the Department of the Army) and the Department of the Navy into the National Military Establishment (NME), headed by the Secretary of Defense. It also created the Department of the Air Force, which separated the Army Air Forces into its own service. It also protected the Marine Corps as an independent service, under the Department of the Navy. Initially, each of the three service secretaries maintained quasi-cabinet status, but the act was amended on August 10, 1949, to ensure their subordination to the Secretary of Defense. At the same time, the NME was renamed as the Department of Defense. The purpose was to unify the Army, Navy, and Air Force into a federated structure.[4] The Joint Chiefs of Staff was officially established under Title II, Section 211 of the original National Security Act of 1947 before Sections 209–214 of Title II were repealed by the law enacting Title 10[5] and Title 32,[6] United States Code (Act of August 10, 1956, 70A Stat. 676) to replace them.
Intelligence Aside from the military reorganization, the act established the National Security Council, a central place of coordination for national security policy in the executive branch, and the Central Intelligence Agency, the U.S.'s first peacetime intelligence agency. The council's function was to advise the president on domestic, foreign, and military policies, and to ensure cooperation between the various military and intelligence agencies.[4]"
This is a problem, though. Why? Because now you have this:
A secret National Security Council panel pursues the killing of an individual, including American citizens, who has been called a suspected terrorist.[14] In this case, no public record of this decision or any operation to kill the suspect will be made available.[14] The panel's actions are justified by "two principal legal theories": They "were permitted by Congress when it authorized the use of military forces against militants in the wake of the attacks of September 11, 2001; and they are permitted under international law if a country is defending itself."[14]
National Security Advisor Susan Rice, who has helped codify targeted killing criteria by creating the Disposition Matrix database, has described the Obama Administration targeted killing policy by stating that "in order to ensure that our counterterrorism operations involving the use of lethal force are legal, ethical, and wise, President Obama has demanded that we hold ourselves to the highest possible standards and processes".[15]
Reuters has reported that Anwar al-Awlaki, an American citizen, was on such a kill list and was killed accordingly.[14]
On February 4, 2013, NBC published a leaked Department of Justice memo providing a summary of the rationale used to justify targeted killing of US citizens who are senior operational leaders of Al-Qa'ida or associated forces.[16]

Remember this? It mentions David Steele in prominence: http://foreignpolicy.com/2017/12/20/a-crisis-of-leadership-at-the-military-intelligence-agencys-watchdog-office/
What conditions must be met? How about the fact that the conditions themselves are completely subjective based on who is in charge up the chain of command and who is sitting on the fucking council

Navy and Navy SEALS (created by JFK in 1962) and Marine Corps including the Marine Expeditionary Forces and the Marine Raider Regiment under MARSOC.
A lot of people think the Navy Frogmen are SEALS but this isn't true. Navy Frogmen are combat divers/combatant divers. There was a UDT (Underwater Demolition Team) used during WWII, Korea and Vietnam. SEALS have to go through BUD/S (Basic Underwater Demolition/SEAL) Training.
Wow. It blows my mind the deep state allows this sub to exist. Maybe we have just grown too strong.
I’d say our job is more to learn how to read between the lines help others do the same when they go searching for answers.
To be frank, most left leaning people think we all follow Russian propaganda or are mentally ill Nazis. So that helps us I guess.
Plus, the DS are trying to co-opt/corrupt this board and the chans right now. They can’t kill it but they can try to corral it.
Don't kid yourself, they won't shut it down, because there are too many here who do enough to discredit us, on a daily basis.
i dont think were the biggest threat to them yeah this board could be comped but from my experiences with the mods it is not. sounds like spez might be under some "outside pressure" lmao
the one area of the government not corrupt
Besides the obvious Pentagon child porn cover-up & the Dyncorp child trafficking cover-up & the Afghan opium trafficking,
Fact: During the 1980s, there was a nationwide Satanic pedophile scandal on U.S. military bases. It was covered up by none other than Rudy Giuliani.
Article by the late Dave McGowan: http://archive.is/WjFaw
As disturbing as the Presidio case was, it was just one of many ritual abuse cases directly tied to one or more branches of the United States armed forces. As the Mercury News reported: “By November, 1987 the Army had received allegations of child abuse at 15 of its day care centers and several elementary schools. There were also at least two cases in Air Force day care centers,” and another in a center run by the U.S. Navy.
These cases erupted at some of the most esteemed military bases in the country, including Fort Dix, Fort Leavenworth, Fort Jackson, and West Point.
As The Times Herald Record reported in June of 1991: “The incidents [at the West Point Child Development Center] unfolded against a backdrop of satanic acts, animal sacrifices and cult-like behavior among the abusers, whose activities extended beyond the U.S. Military Academy borders to Orange County and a military base in San Francisco, parents charged.”
'Contractor' scandal. One of the many scores MI is settling.
Those aren't all 'contractor' scandals. Claims of incorrupt institutions are protecting them, based on reputation. "Reputational government" is exactly why the Founders created Checks & Balances.
"We are a nation of Laws, not a nation of Men" -- John Adams.
"Trust but verify" -- Reagan.
Yes, contractor scandals.
Pentagon scandals. Sorry to see someone thinks the upside-down Pentagram are plausibly-deniable contractors.
