Pentagon Moves to Combat the “Insider Threat”
The Department of Defense has issued a new Instruction defining its response to the “insider threat” from Department personnel who engage in unauthorized disclosures of information or other activities deemed harmful to national security.
The new Instruction assigns responsibilities and authorities for systematically detecting “anomalous” employee behavior that may be an indication of an insider threat.
Global Police State Already In Force?
In February 2010 the US Dept of Defence published FM 3-39.40 Internment and Resettlement Operations. (1) This restricted document (just come to light on the internet) was written for the U.S. Army Military Police on how to control and incarcerate so-called enemies including civilian populations. This is for use at home or abroad. The implications of this document and the training to implement those policies are far-reaching and alarming. It illustrates how the US military expect the world to be transformed into a global police state. Looks like it already has.
A review of the document shows that the aim is not obviously malicious, but an advanced plan to prevent chaos in a world reacting to escalating population growth and conflict over resources. The disturbing thing about this plan is not that the US wants tight control for maintaining law and order over civilians in situations of unrest, but that they anticipate that their own Military Police will be the ones to enforce the law!

News blackout and military censorship follow coup
Last week’s coup in Guinea-Bissau, in which Prime Minister Carlos Gomez Junior and Interim President Raimundo Pereira were arrested, has been followed by grave violations of the right to information, including threats to journalists, a news blackout and media censorship. We urge the new military government to restore the media’s right to report news freely.
“The 12 April military coup has led to serious restrictions on the freedom to report news and information, although this is vital at times of political unrest, Reporters Without Borders said. “A news blackout, in which all radio and TV stations were closed, has been followed by military control of media content. We hope that the return to political and institutional normality promised by the ruling junta will result in full restoration of media activity.”
At a meeting with media executives on 16 April, the military high command said they could resume operating as long as they did not mention that protests that have been taking place in the capital. The goal of “constructing peace and national unity” was cited as grounds for this restriction. Reporters Without Borders regards it as the introduction of military censorship.
The FBI took -- and mysteriously returned -- their server. Here's their story
Ever wonder what it's like to have FBI agents knock on your door? Or to have them walk into your business unannounced and walk away with your computer? Jamie McClelland and Alfredo Lopez can tell you.
Their recent run-in with the men in black – the result of a spate of email bomb threats to the University of Pittsburgh -- offers a rare glimpse into the collision between free speech rights and the benefits of anonymity on one side with the needs of law enforcement to act quickly in the face of real threats on the other.

“I was shocked to find accounts through which millions of dollars were being deposited and withdrawn without any apparent business activity being conducted,” he said. “Then when I went to visit the business, I found nothing – shell companies, vacant offices with no furniture, or no such business whatsoever at the address listed on the account records.”
