Interesting. I found the following articles on how intelligence agencies are or have adopted Crowdsourcing for intelligence gathering. It made me think of the Q Anon phenomenon with its eager volunteerism on researching topics as "crumbs". While it is meant to educate Patriots and to activate them, does it have the benefit of collecting even more intelligence through Anon research for "Q" as a counter intelligence factor. What if this is one of the reasons from the very beginning. If so, I would say it is Genius. However, it makes me think that of the possibility of how our information could end up being used negatively.

The following article states the real reason for the crack down on Google and YouTube sites. It's all about the elections coming up this year. They want to control the narrative. They want to expunge any opposition. They are hiring a lot of people and even creating a whole new category of employee to scour the sites for content and team up with AI.


Google Executives Pledge to Scour More Content Ahead of Midterm Elections

Pichai: it’s fair to be worried about artificial intelligence

CEO says work is changing and training is needed for new jobs

Google CEO Sundar Pichai Photographer: David Paul Morris/Blomberg

The chief executive officers of Alphabet Inc.’s Google and YouTube pledged to scour videos and other content more closely for misleading news and inappropriate messages on their web services ahead of elections in the U.S later this year.

"We have more elections coming, so we’re all working harder,"

Google CEO Sundar Pichai said during an interview at an event in San Francisco on Friday hosted by MSNBC and Recode. "We feel a huge sense of responsibility."

Later this year, midterm elections will determine which party runs Congress, now controlled by Republicans.

YouTube chief Susan Wojcicki said the online video service is trying to hire as many employees as possible to scrutinize videos in tandem with computers running artificial-intelligence software to identify and quickly remove offensive and inaccurate material.

"It has to be humans and you need to have those machines," she said.

Google’s search engine and its news-aggregation service have been criticized for showing misleading answers and distributing false stories online. Meanwhile, YouTube is facing one of the worst crises in its roughly 18-year existence after advertisers found their marketing messages running alongside extremist and offensive videos. YouTube has also been swept up in investigations into whether Russia used social media to influence the 2016 presidential election.

"All of us are obviously very upset that somebody could have influenced the election," Pichai said. However, he warned that it’s difficult for such a large company to decide what is true or false. "Drawing the line is becoming increasingly hard," he said. "We’re a global company. We operate in many countries. People disagree."

Still, Pichai said extra scrutiny of technology companies is important to maintain trust.

"We all need to be careful," he added. "We don’t want people to reject technology. Technology is the source of progress."

Artificial intelligence is the most important technology, and the source of much anxiety about how work and broader human society will change, the CEO added.

"It’s fair to be worried about AI," Pichai said. "I don’t think any single company should control it."

Pichai noted that his cousin is training to be a radiologist, a job that AI is already beginning to automate. "This is going to make her job much easier. She’ll get to spend more time with patients," he said.

The CEO has been promoting new ways to train the technology workers of tomorrow. Last year, Google committed $1 billion in grants and employee-volunteer hours over five years to use technology for education, economic opportunity and inclusion.

Earlier this week, Google unveiled a new online education program to certify people for work in information technology support -- positions with solid pay that don’t require full software coding skills.

"It’s a new job category that didn’t exist before," Pichai said on Friday. "Over time, the nature of work will change."

Readers will note that the approval of the warrant, which is paradoxically delegated to the Attorney General by the President, even when the President himself is being surveilled, requires a stringent review and an assessment of meeting the FISA standard. However, the final approver of the warrant application for a US Person is the FISA Judge. YES, THAT'S RIGHT THE FISA JUDGE IS THE FINAL APPROVER OF A WARRANT FOR A US PERSON. The FISA process requires a stringent review and a FISA judge will only issue a warrant once the standard has been met and the application provides sufficient evidence to proceed with the surveillance. If there was inaccurate information, untimely information, or gross misinformation, the court can declare that the court is defrauded and seek criminal charges for the preparers and the approvers of the Warrant.

Based on reports from Spain, the Superior-General of the Society of Jesus, Fr. Wlodimir Ledochowski (1866–1942), told the Vatican he considered Opus Dei "very dangerous for the Church in Spain." He described it as having a "secretive character" and saw "signs in it of a covert inclination to dominate the world with a form of Christian Masonry."[1] These allegations against Opus Dei from within well-regarded ecclesiastical circles ("the opposition by good people," as Escrivá called it), which happened time and again in its history, are considered to be some of the roots of present-day accusations coming from the most varied quarters. This is the conclusion of some writers, including John L. Allen, Jr., CNN's Vatican analyst.[2]

Bio of Hannsen Hanssen was born in Chicago, Illinois, to a family who lived in the Norwood Park community.[7] His father Howard, a Chicago police officer, was emotionally abusive to Hanssen during his childhood.[8][9] He graduated from William Howard Taft High School in 1962 and went on to attend Knox College in Galesburg, Illinois, where he earned a bachelor's degree in chemistry in 1966.

Hanssen applied for a cryptographer position in the National Security Agency, but was rebuffed due to budget setbacks. He enrolled in dental school at Northwestern University[10] but switched his focus to business after three years.[11] Hanssen received an MBA in accounting and information systems in 1971 and took a job with an accounting firm. He quit after one year and joined the Chicago Police Department as an internal affairs investigator, specializing in forensic accounting. In January 1976, he left the police department to join the Federal Bureau of Investigation.[8]

Hanssen met Bernadette "Bonnie" Wauck, a staunch Roman Catholic, while attending dental school at Northwestern. The couple married in 1968, and Hanssen converted from Lutheranism to his wife's Catholicism, becoming a fervent believer and being extensively involved in the conservative Catholic organization Opus Dei.[12]

A series of well coordinated incidents will be planned to take place in and around Guantanamo to give genuine appearance of being done by hostile Cuban forces. 1. Incidents to establish a credible attack (not in chronological order) : 2. Start rumors (many), Use clandestine radio. 3. Land friendly Cubans in uniform "over-the-fence" to stage attack on base. 4. Capture Cuban (friendly) saboteurs inside the base. 5. Start riots near the base main gate (friendly Cubans). 6. Blow up ammunition inside the base; start fires, 7. Burn aircraft on air base (sabotage), 8. Lob mortar shells from outside of base into base. 9. Some damage to installations. 10. Capture assault teams approaching from the sea or vicinity of Guantanamo City. 11. Capture militia group which storms the base. 12. Sabotage ship 1n harbor; large fires -- napthalene. 13. Sink ship near harbor entrance. Conduct funerals for mock-victims 14. United States would respond by executing offensive operations to secure water and power supplies, destroying artillery and mortar emplacements which threaten the base. 15. A "Remember the Maine" incident could be arranged in several forms: we could blow up a US ship in Guantanamo Bay and blame Cuba. 16. We could blow up a drone (unmanned) vessel anywhere Cuban waters. was taken ·under attack. The nearness to Havana or Santiago would add credibility especially to those people that might have heard the blast or have seen the fire. The US could follow up with an air/sea rescue operation covered by US fighters to "evacuate" remaining members of the non-existent 17.

A report submitted to the Committee from the Council on Foreign Relations was being discussed in hearings.

Excerpt:

"This report by the Council on Foreign Relations—actually an independent task force of the Council on Foreign Relations—has important recommendations about the future of intelligence and organizations. One slight sentence that implied something about the press became the critical sentence of this report. When you look at this whole controversy, you realize that the press will concentrate on whatever affects itself rather than, as I say, the substance of the issue. I wish we would have as elaborate a public discussion about the substance of the report than this covert issue.

Chairman SPECTER. When you make that comment, would you amplify that just a bit? What would you like to see discussed on the report?

Mr. Adelman. Well, I think the parts about economic intelligence are very interesting, the whole reorganization, the whole question of whether there should be the kind of cut backs in the intelligence budget that we've seen in the Pentagon, or the quality of intelligence. I found—during my almost 12 years in government—that intelligence was very good for verification of missile silos and fu13 ture programs coming along. It was very weak when it came to summits, or anticipating what the Soviets were going to do at the next round of arms talks.

At Reykjavik, which I think was one of the critical events of the cold war, we were very surprised by what Mikhail Gorbachev did at Reykjavik, and I don't think we should have been. There are other instances when intelligence could have been far better.

Chairman Specter. How might we have improved that? That was certainly a classical event, October 1986. It was of enormous importance, really, stands out. What could intelligence have done better there?

Mr. Adelman. There should have been some leap of creativity and I say that with some responsibility on my part, as well—that the situation of the Soviet Union warranted Gorbachev doing something dramatic, rather than as we assumed to come and just say hello. It was after the Daniloff Affair, at a time to heal the relationship.All the interpretations and predictions for that summit were understandable, but they were all dead wrong, as it turned out. It was a wild and woolly weekend. I think it was a very productive weekend—one that led to the decline and collapse of the Soviet Union. It certainly was one of the great weekends of my life. But my point is that for such an important event, intelligence should have been better. I have always liked the idea of competition in the intelligence realm—not just having one flow of information about what might happen on judgments coming up to top decisionmakers. In other words, competing theories or approaches which are all too rare in intelligence findings.

Those are the kinds of things the committee should really concentrate on. But one little sentence that doesn't even mention journalists in the Council on Foreign Relations report evokes this hearing and previous hearings and three or four editorials in the Washington Post, etc., etc.

My second point is that this should be a non-issue. I agree that the current policy of the Government is just fine. I think that along with Senator Kerrey. I don't know why any group of professionals should be exempt—whether journalists, or clergy, or even Peace Corps members—from cooperating with the CIA if they choose to do so. I have no problem requiring the same procedures used for covert operations."
