Deranged Rhino Posted March 11, 2017 Author Posted March 11, 2017 I'm a little concerned, frankly, if those docs do actually describe the CIA'S entire surveillance repertoire. A lot of it seems pretty basic and frankly outdated from what I can tell. It's not their surveillance repertoire, it's their cyber-warfare arsenal. At least the non-classified elements of it.
GoBills808 Posted March 11, 2017 Posted March 11, 2017 It's not their surveillance repertoire, it's their cyber-warfare arsenal. At least the non-classified elements of it. Good distinction. But still...weren't we covering the computer camera with post-its in the 90s? There's got to be more. Maybe I'm reading it wrong but they sound like simpletons.
Azalin Posted March 11, 2017 Posted March 11, 2017 Is someone going to call me an idiot? I doubt it - I'm certainly not going to. I'm only saying that I agree with your premise, and that I'm cynical enough to believe that intelligence organizations are more concerned with what Americans are saying given the current climate than they are with spying on others.
Nanker Posted March 11, 2017 Posted March 11, 2017 (edited) It's normal for US attorneys to submit their resignations with a change of administration. What's NOT normal is for the AG to have to request their resignations. Yes. I remember the media **** storm when W fired his US Attorneys. They thought they had it made in the shade. But he wanted his own people in... and that's highly unusual... NOT! Except of course if it's guys from your team getting **** canned. I thought I read every post but now I'm sure I missed something. Is someone going to call me an idiot? Not all is here. The information you seek is elsewhere. Surveillance by the CIA on US soil is "not allowed." You don't present like one.

Deranged Rhino Posted March 11, 2017 Author Posted March 11, 2017 Great to hear him follow up that quote...sucks when people qualify statements, so hey, just cut it off The qualifier is even worse when you consider Hayden's track record.
Tiberius Posted March 11, 2017 Posted March 11, 2017 The qualifier is even worse when you consider Hayden's track record. Well thank God we have such a leaky government. If it were being abused to kill people here I'm pretty sure we would find out

DC Tom Posted March 11, 2017 Posted March 11, 2017 Yes. I remember the media **** storm when W fired his US Attorneys. They thought they had it made in the shade.

And there was a "scandal" in 2009 when one a Bush-appointed attorney refused to submit their resignation to Holder. Wasn't widely reported, and didn't get much traction, because "President Jesus."
B-Man Posted March 11, 2017 Posted March 11, 2017 And there was a "scandal" in 2009 when one a Bush-appointed attorney refused to submit their resignation to Holder. Wasn't widely reported, and didn't get much traction, because "President Jesus." Report: U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara Refusing To Resign On Trump Request What Is Really Behind The Firing Of Obama Holdovers In The Department Of Justice Yesterday afternoon Attorney General Jeff Sessions requested the resignation of the 46 remaining US Attorneys appointed by Obama. Overnight we’ve received some clarification. The acting deputy attorney general and US Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia, Dana Boente, and the US Attorney for Maryland, Rod Rosenstein, who has been nominated to be deputy attorney general will be allowed to stay on. At this writing it appears that the high-profile and media-whorish US Attorney for the Southern District of New York, Preet Bharara, was also terminated. Many are not happy: I shouldn’t be surprised, one thing I’ve discovered since November 9 is that there is no story, whatsoever, about Trump that the anti-Trump people are incapable of believing. When it comes to this stuff there is no bar of credibility the story has to clear beyond its mere existence. Trump “ousts” US Attorneys. Obama “replaces” them.

TPS Posted March 12, 2017 Posted March 12, 2017 :lol; yeah, right. YOU are the financial world's equivalent of OC....need I drag out and repost your epochs with TPS? What a joke. GG, for the life of me, since reading this I've been trying to figure out what the hell are "your epochs"?
Nanker Posted March 12, 2017 Posted March 12, 2017 Epochs are like ewoks, only bigger. Much, much bigger.
grinreaper Posted March 12, 2017 Posted March 12, 2017 Epochs are like ewoks, only bigger. Much, much bigger. Like of epic proportions?
B-Man Posted March 12, 2017 Posted March 12, 2017 ONE OF THESE THINGS IS NOT LIKE THE OTHER: “The Deep State Is a Figment of Steve Bannon’s Imagination.” —Headline, the Politico, Thursday. “Rogue Twitter Accounts Fight to Preserve the Voice of Government Science.” —Headline, The Intercept, yesterday. As Melissa Mackenzie of the American Spectator tweets, “Find them. Fire them,” adding, “Dear President Trump, It’s time to go Sherman on these unelected government bureaucrats. Sincerely, Taxpayers.”
GG Posted March 13, 2017 Posted March 13, 2017 GG, for the life of me, since reading this I've been trying to figure out what the hell are "your epochs"? My guess is the arguments about Keyensian policies will jump start the economy to greatest heights ever.
TPS Posted March 13, 2017 Posted March 13, 2017 Epochs are like ewoks, only bigger. Much, much bigger. Thanks, I was stuck on the "e" part, like some kind of new digital age concept: "e"mail, "e"tail, "e"trade, etc. "e"pochs, some kind of digital curse? Like of epic proportions? That was good.
Deranged Rhino Posted March 13, 2017 Author Posted March 13, 2017 Nothing to see here... The CIA forgot about a bunch of classified documents stashed in the Rockefellers’ barn The vault apparently remained in place, and the documents undisturbed, until 1979. According to a formerly CONFIDENTIAL memo, the vault “fell through the cracks” as a result of a “unique” situation. The situation would have remained lost between the cracks if not for the attempt to give the barn away, and the subsequent notice to CIA from Judge Harold Tyler. The matter had, as it turned out, been completely lost to the Agency, whose Special Security Center didn’t have any records on the Rockefeller SCIF until after Judge Tyler contacted CIA about it. https://www.muckrock.com/news/archives/2017/mar/06/cia-forgot-about-bunch-classified-documents-stashe/
