Office of Inspector general faults NSA - and more
Friends and strangers, hello. Welcome!
Today we will be accepting a prize straight from the proverbial horses mouth.
Recently, the newly appointed inspector general has given findings of an assessment regarding NSA practices. This is a good thing. Because unlike a news publication we will look at the facts, the remedies and let you of course conclude the outcome.
NSA's shortcomings
source is derived from a civilian report from office of Inspector general
Here, we see the inspector general's findings. That is, that the NSA was not scanning procured equipment (usb sticks, computers and various electronic equipment) with an antivirus solution.
Below this, though is where the gold is at. This gift details the misuse use of "records" by the NSA. In which records where stored against citizens of the United States longer than prescribed by law.
In this we also learn another interesting component.
Cell phone carriers are turning over personally identifiable information to government institutions without a warrant, nor good cause (evidence to be used against you or to benefit you). In addition to, extended periods of record keeping.
Wherefore, the Inspector general faults the record keeping of carriers. Whom goes on to state, that "the information was erroneous and contained inaccurate tables."
Is this a breach 5 USC 552a?
Which states ;
"(b)Conditions of Disclosure.—No agency shall disclose any record which is contained in a system of records by any means of communication to any person, or to another agency, except pursuant to a written request by, or with the prior written consent of, the individual to whom the record pertains, unless disclosure of the record would be—"
Now its all starting to make sense. Use of a cellular device on a mobile network through an agreement with a carrier is consent to record collection. Both the NSA and cell phone carriers are at fault because of the extent and duration of records being kept. Also, the churning of information to intragovernmental agencies without a warrant or subpoena.
Opinion
I feel it is now necessary to include a designated section for opinion. This is due to a recent survey where at least 64% of adults cant establish fact from opinion.
It would be beneficial to individuals to read the full disclosure of a carrier's privacy policy. This shouldn't be stated. However, as I am not a stranger to carriers nor their practices, I would say, do not consent. Opt out of the practices, during enrollment. Cite that you have a constitutional right to privacy and to be secure in your effects, papers and protection from unlawful seizures.
I also think that everyone should be sending their carrier and ISP a monthly recurring fee. This is not just due to governmental use, rather carriers buy and sell information about you to third party vendors. Which encompases everything except video content. This is you, this is your information. Your producing content to them and paying them for such production.
I also believe carriers can do better in regards to providing instruments to customers. As it is apparent:
- Not all customers have same equivelance of cognitive function.
- Agents of carriers often skim over important details in regards to privacy.
- Most individuals wouldnt waive a first amendment right, if it was stated "by signing this you are waiving your constitutional right(s), protections and immunities."
The law has been perverted through the alleging of national security interests without basis, and people are prevented from securing satisfaction by cases they bring being dismissed as a result.
I reckon a class action under RICO in which a broad swath of Americans whose rights are likely to have been abridged, harmed, and utterly voided might have adequate power to gain standing.
Federal courts have long used the trick of labeling less broadly supported legal actions 'frivolous' and dismissing them without hearing, and even imposing fines on the plaintiffs. The Chrystic Institute was destroyed in this way back in the 80s for filing a RICO action against the federal government due to the CIA and DEA provably importing cocaine into the US.
The harm this heinous misuse of the courts has brought the American people is not only obvious, it is enormous, and continues to this day. President Bush (Sr.) and subsequent weasels that have held power on a national level have only done so because the proof of their crimes and treason were prevented from being established by corrupt courts.
It is public, common knowledge that the CIA has long been importing cocaine into the US, and subsequent to the destruction of the Chrystic Institute proof and acknowledgement of the government itself has been established.
If we don't act to stop it now, it is difficult to imagine the further depredations such lawless corrupt actors, agencies, and institutions will commit against the American people. Millions have died as a result of such corruption in the 80s already, if the wars and covert actions enabled as a result of that corruption is accounted to it.
Let's keep that from becoming billions. War with China, Russia, or Iran - or worse, all three - will cause suffering beyond description or ken. These exact corrupt practices aim to inflict that harm on us all, so the corrupt can profit at our expense.
We will pay in blood, grief, and genocide for every dollar and cent they profit.
Thanks!
Or a unified Grand Jury to start pushing indictments out and reappoint new members of government after we amend constitution back to its original context. Good thoughts appreciate your comments @valued-customer
I mention RICO because monetary awards are intrinsic, and hitting them in the wallet will hurt them where they live. I'd settle for any constructive action to eliminate corruption, or at least dial it back a half century.
I have had little success with unilateral action, and hope to find soon that many people are willing to do some of the things I have, like quit using banks, and be part of a suit on behalf of the people against the panoptic surveillance we have been subjected to.
I reckon Trump is not acting to end that at all, despite that it was turned on him already. That's a bad sign.
I'm interested.
I'm in process of unwinding the proverbial web.
