You may read Keenan's article at the link below. Neil Keenan is Clearing The Decks for Imminent Forward Movement with The Global Accounts http://www.rumormillnews.com/cgi-bin/forum.cgi?read=275686 Crayford Writes: Let’s be blunt about things. Keenan was caught (Red Handed) in criminal activities when he was carrying in his possession a wad of Financial Certificates, Bonds, Notes in 2010 / 2011 and he saw what happened to his accomplices, Yamaguchi and Watanabe. Instead of crossing the border from Italy to Switzerland, as his accomplices did and found themselves in handcuffs, Keenan literally dumped these into the hands of Daniele Del Bosco in Italy, who then contacted us to establish what these Certificates, Bonds and Notes were all about. Daniele Del Bosco also contacted several other people (Bankers and Financial people) in Switzerland who also advised him to contact us immediately. Since then Keenan has, unjustifiably and unwarranted, done nothing but lambasted Daniele Del Bosco and all others who have contradicted him, calling them criminals and part of the cabal, etc, etc, etc. A real case of the Pot calling the Kettle Black. If Keenan knew anything at all he would know the simplest of things like the laws which are in place around the world that prohibit a person from carrying such Certificates, Bonds, Notes etc, even copies of same. These laws restrict such movements of such Certificates, Bonds, and Notes, etc, to Bank Couriers, and Bonded Couriers. This is a man who is shouting from the highest peak that he is everything and knows everything, when in fact he knows nothing, and he is the real criminal in these matters because he holds NO AUTHORITY whatsoever to attend to, deal with anything regarding the Global Accounts (Combined International Accounts of the Global Debt Facility). Please allow me to attend to just a few points in Keenan’s article, and again to be blunt about it I am not doing this for Keenan’s benefit, but for the benefit of the people who tend to give Keenan some credibility and belief. a). “Keenan is moving on with his own work, while keeping an eye out for further fraud “ What a load of BS. Keenan is the one engaging in Fraud against the Global Accounts (Collateral Accounts) as well as the OPPT, yet he has the audacity to say he watching out for further fraud. What a joke but I am not laughing because this man is just one big menace to society blabbing his mouth off when in reality he knows nothing. b). “Since the Accounts have been the playground for a motley crew of crooks, banksters, and scam artists for most of the past sixty years, that means Keenan’s work these days involves a lot of mopping up: exposing hidden agendas of Global Account fraudsters; clearing up confusion over the nature of the Accounts and to whom they belong; and exposing the UCC filing fraud behind the “phony freedom” offered by movements such as OPPT, who are merely one of many groups laying false claim to Account assets”. Ha, what a laugh. This is one crook calling another crook, a crook. As for mopping up and exposing the hidden agenda of the Global Account Fraudsters. I personally wouldn’t give him a job of mopping up in public toilets. The job of mopping up and exposing the hidden agenda of the Global Accounts should be left to us (The OITC) as the party best experienced and knowledgeable of the Global Accounts, along with the newly appointed International Treasury Controller, the real Legal Heir, Owner, and Sole Arbiter of the Accounts, who is attending to this matter on a constant basis with the Hierarchy, who are also determined to see the theft and fraud against the Accounts totally removed from the equation so that these Accounts can be used for what they were intended to be used for and as determined by the Hierarchy since 1945. c). The statement of the prominent Russian Lawyer, “I have selected clear provisions of the UCC itself that completely destroy all attempts to abuse and misrepresent it. Its own provisions directly contradict all ways that “common law” theorists (like Winston Shrout or OPPT) try to use it. This proves that attempting to use it to obtain rights from third parties is criminal Fraud… You will have a concise and clear Legal Report, that you can show to anybody you are dealing with, to prove to them that OPPT are conducting criminal Fraud and have no rights nor legal standing.” Yes, it proves that attempting to use it to obtain rights from third parties is criminal fraud. Are you listening, reading, and fully understanding that fact Keenan, because despite the UCC factor, you are using your belief, your lies, to subvert people in Indonesia into believing you and your actions are genuine and legal, whereas they are the complete opposite to legal and you, Keenan, are the instigator of this fraud because you hold no rights whatsoever and you have, and are, attempting to use your misguided beliefs and lies to obtain rights from third parties of which they hold no rights either even though they may be “Elders” appointed by former President Soekarno to act as “Holders / Custodians” of the assets deposited in Indonesia. The Rights legally belong to the International Treasury Controller who is the Legal Heir, Owner and Sole Arbiter under Legal Decadency 1088 dated 20th January 1995, which superseded all other previous agreements. NOTE: ALL OTHER PREVIOUS AGREEMENTS (if any) referenced to the control, ownership and arbitrary rights of the Global Accounts (Collateral Accounts). d). “He has been asked by Global Account stakeholders (i.e., the original Depositors of the assets) to order and manage the Accounts, beginning in Indonesia, where he has the confidence and support of the Elders who guard the assets”. Again, another load of BS, and I demand that Keenan prove this statement by producing and publicising the relevant legal document duly executed by these stakeholders. The reason why is because these stakeholders hold no authority to be able to pass such authority to Keenan. The authority is held by the Committee of the Hierarchy and the Chairman of the Hierarchy as Holder(s) of the Alfa – Omega Ring (Solomon’s Ring). Therefore if these stakeholders are willy-nillying giving out authority to someone who thinks he knows, or all and sundry, then they too are acting fraudulently. It is nice to see that Keenan does openly admit further down that the, quote “Elders who guard the assets”. Yes they are guardians, holders, custodians, whichever name label you wish to hang around their necks. That is all they are and with no authority whatsoever, so do not imply, as you have previously, that they have the power of the legal owner because they HAVEN’T. I won’t go further in my decimation of the comments of Keenan’s article, only say people really ought to start thinking correctly and constructively before they believe anything that Keenan, or the OPPT, states because what is stated is all a façade which hides far more devious motives by the people involved, than can possibly be imagined. Let me explain once again for the benefit of those who did not read this before, or who tended to ignore it all because of comments / statements from people like Keenan, Drake, and the OPPT. The International Treasury Controller was appointed by the Royal Families and Nations of the World on January 20th 1995 as Legal Heir, Owner, and Sole Arbiter of the Collateral Accounts (Global Accounts). The International Treasury Controller and the Office of International Treasury Control were institutionalised as a Sovereign Entity (UN Charter Control No: 10-60847) under its own jurisdiction, and one that stands above and beyond all other Sovereign Entities. Note: it is futile for anyone, other than a King, Queen, President, or Prime Minister to attempt to verify the above point as International / UN Full Jacket Level 3-5 Security Clearance is required to access the information together with specific protocols that should be applied at all times. Since December 2010 which brought about the demise of Dr R.C. Dam as International Treasury Controller, a new International Treasury Controller has been appointed by the Royal Families and Nations of the world. There are documents to prove this factor but unfortunately they are classified so people like Keenan, Drake, and the OPPT can never verify that situation, which is the very situation that Keenan works on, because he knows that ordinary people can never verify this factor, therefore he can blind them all with wild statements, innuendoes, false comments, etc. The new International Treasury Controller is determined to put an absolute STOP on all this fraud and theft, whereby activities are currently ongoing in many directions to bring these people to justice, no matter who they are or what position they hold within society. At the same time a lot of action is ongoing to allow these accounts to be brought into operation for the benefit of the people of the world, NOTE: I won’t say Nations or Governments because they have proven themselves to be incompetent, inept and corrupt, and more to the point, determined to keep the Collateral Accounts hidden from public view and non-usage for the public. One may ask why the latter applies, for which the answer is very simple. If these Accounts are allowed to be used properly and as the Hierarchy intended and determined, the power of these Nations and Governments would literally disintegrate into nothing, which of course, they cannot allow to happen. However, quietly and with a very determined effort, that is what is happening and it is the ITC / OITC that are doing this, and they won’t be stopped by anyone. I would like to say more of what is ongoing, but that would give the opposition and our enemies a lot to feed on, which I don’t want to do and will not do. I may have been very quite recently but that is because there is a lot happening and time must be spent on the priorities which will benefit the people of the world, not responding to irrelevant and irresponsible article written by criminals. What I can say is that Mr Sale is very well and highly active, and, like everyone else within the OITC, he has not been arrested or incarcerated at any time, contrary to what Keenan has previously written and his Court adjudication application, which many of you will remember my comments on this latter factor that it will go nowhere because the American Courts hold no authority or Jurisdiction over the ITC / OITC. In fact it is the other way around. The ITC / OITC hold more jurisdiction over America than what the people actually know about, and could, and possibly will, turn America and its allies in this Fraud and Theft, upside down and inside out in due course. Then watch the sparks fly because we at the OITC do not make promises and then break them. Watch out Keenan, Drake and the OPPT, because that includes YOU as well. Finally, thank you “Lion” for your article re: Nigel Farage (http://www.rumormillnews.com/cgi-bin/forum.cgi?read=275633). Yes the European Union are in one hell of a mess which they will not admit to, nor will they tell anyone about because all these Politicians are protecting their own backs and following what America wants to see for Europe (Note: Remember Germany is still controlled by the Americans and has been ever since 1944 despite Bi-lateral Treaties in 1995 and 1996 to the contrary). Europe will not work properly whilst there are so many imbalances and indifferences between Nations. It cannot work and will not work but that is what happens when countries, via their politicians, rush into these things without realising what is involved and what really is the devious program behind it all. A Trading Block is fine, but anything else is just a big scam by the so called Politicians. Germany attempted it by military means and failed (WW I and WW II). Churchill attempted it by Diplomatic means and failed. Merkle (America’s puppet) is attempting it by monetary means, and it will fail just like all the others attempts because there are too many imbalances and indifferences between the various Nations. That’s all I will say for now. Just wait patiently and watch what happens. David P. Crayford (WHISTLEBLOWER).

PREFACE:.... STUFF YOU’RE NOT SUPPOSED TO KNOW by Judge Dale

By Judge Dale

PREFACE:.... STUFF YOU’RE NOT SUPPOSED TO KNOW
I didn’t plan on writing PART 5 but given the global movement in play
to collapse the fiat financial dominance historically created and
controlled by the Vatican; European Royal and Elite plus the
retaliatory efforts by the United States Corporation to recoup their
control of America; I felt a need to point out the flaws in their
CORPORATE PROCESS. You probably identify with this CORPORATE PROCESS
as LEGAL PROCESS but it really isn’t about what is legal or lawful
because all process is about the enforcement of CONTRACTS or the
imposition and enforcement of CORPORATE REGULATIONS called STATUTES.
The best advice you will ever receive is to: AVOID THEIR COURTS
WHENEVER POSSIBLE. There is NO justice to be found in those courts
unless you are a member of the Vatican; the royal or Elite, or have
purchased Diplomatic Immunity.

THE COURTS:

The only Constitutional Court in America is the International Court of
Trades, which was created because no Foreign Nation Government would
trade with the Corporate United States, until they provided a way for
these foreign Nations to enforce their Trade Agreements with America.

NOTE: Historically, the World Court was created to provide Nations
with a venue to enforce their Trade Agreements but the Corporate
United States refused the Courts invitation to participate because
they were denied control over the Court.

All of the other American Courts are pseudo courts or fictions and
simply are Corporate Administrative Offices designed to resemble
Courts and all of their Judges are simply Executive Administrations
designed to resemble Judges.

The purpose of these pseudo Corporate Courts are only to settle
contract disputes and since George Washington’s government was
military in structure; if either party refuses to participate, these
Courts cannot become involved and the dispute is dead in the water! My
use of the term ‘dead in the water’ is not a canard because these
pseudo Courts are unconstitutional Courts of Admiralty, the
International Law of the Sea!

The Washington Monument was completed in 1884, as a tribute to George
Washington and his military government, which is actually a sea-level
obelisk that infers that all of America is ‘under water’ and thus
subject to the Laws of Admiralty as opposed or contrary to the
intended Constitutional Civilian Government under Common Law.

The pseudo Judges of these pseudo Courts have NO powers without the
Consent of both the Plaintiff and the Defendant. [AND] In every case
the Judge must determine that he has Consent; Personam and Subject
Matter Jurisdiction before he can act or access the Cesta Que Trust.

NOTE: All tradable Securities must be assigned a CUSIP NUMBER before
it can be offered to investors. Birth Certificates and Social Security
Applications are converted into Government Securities; assigned a
CUSIP NUMBER; grouped into lots and then are marked as a Mutual Fund
Investment. Upon maturity, the profits are moved into a GOVERNMENT
CESTA QUE TRUST and if you are still alive, the certified documents a
reinvested. It is the funds contained in this CESTA QUE TRUST that the
Judge, Clerk and County Prosecutor are really after or interested in!
This Trust actually pays all of your debts but nobody tells you that
because the Elite consider those assets to be their property and the
Federal Reserve System is responsible for the management of those
Investments.

Social Security; SSI; SSD; Medicare and Medicaid are all financed by
the Trust. The government makes you pay TAXES and a portion of your
wages supposedly to pay for these services, which they can borrow at
any time for any reason since they cannot access the Cesta Que TRUST
TO FINANCE THEIR Wars or to bail out Wall Street and their patron
Corporations.

The public is encouraged to purchase all kinds of insurance protection
when the TRUST actually pays for all physical damages; medical costs;
new technology and death benefits. The hype to purchase insurance is a
ploy to keep us in poverty and profit off our stupidity because the
Vatican owns the controlling interest in all Insurance Companies.

You may receive a monthly statement form a Mortgage Company; Loan
Company or Utility Company, which usually has already been paid by the
TRUST. Almost all of these corporate businesses double dip and hope
that you have been conditioned well enough by their Credit Scams, to
pay them a second time. Instead of paying that Statement next time,
sign it approved and mail it back to them. If they then contact you
about payment, ask them to send you a TRUE BILL instead of a Statement
and you will be glad to pay it? A Statement documents what was due and
paid, whereas a TRUE BILL represents only what is due. Banks and
Utility Companies have direct access into these Cesta Que Trusts and
all they needed was your name; social security number and signature.

CRIMINAL LAW:

There are NO Criminal Laws in America because Criminal Laws would
imply that the Corporate United States Government are Sovereign that
have absolute power over all living, flesh and blood Americans, which
of course is not true because a corporation is a fiction and therefore
cannot be sovereign. Man is Sovereign and is in control of his own
destiny and one day he will finally wake up and realize this to be true!

There is however Criminal Contracts being enforced against us and with
our Consent, which are surreptitiously called: Criminal Statutes. Our
Consent has been obtained by them visa vie our silence and failure to
act or protest, which under law is defined as: Tacit Procuration.

(e.g.) Tacit Procuration: If someone accuses you of theft in writing
and you fail to respond or deny those allegations in writing, your
failure to deny or act is considered an admission of guilt (or) You
receive a Bill for goods or services that you never ordered or
received, and you fail to deny those allegations, your omission
represents the truth of the matter, which imposes an obligation to
pay! Collection companies frequently use Tacit Procuration to
establish indebtedness to them on a discharged debt they had purchased
from some corporate business.

‘Now you’re probably thinking: No Criminal Laws? Well, that can’t be
true? A whole lot of people have been tried; convicted and are doing
time in American Jails for breaking Criminal Laws!’

And my response to that is: True, they are in Jail because they
unknowingly accepted the Criminal Contract on behalf of their Birth
Certificate and consented to be imprisoned as a condition of their
conviction and punishment. Their lawyer didn’t help any because he
reinforced that situation by and through his Notice of Appearance to
represent you. It is the Birth Certificate that is under arrest, which
I will explain shortly!

NOTE: Criminal Contracts are graded according to the severity of the
crime alleged and that grading is identified as either: Summary;
Misdemeanor; Felony or Capital offenses. The Criminal Process usually
begins with a Police Officer issuing a Citation (or) making an arrest
with or without a Warrant [or] the Police Officer [or] County Attorney
prepares a complaint based upon a sworn affidavit or information,
which is presented to a Judge and a Warrant is then issued. The
defendant is subsequently arrested and is brought before a Judge for
arraignment.

The Complaint and Warrant will reflect your [BIRTH NAME] or identify
you as a [JOHN DOE], if your name is unknown, which is typed out in
all capital letters! This is not a mistake on their part because it is
your Birth Certificate that is under arrest and not your living, flesh
and blood person. The hope of these pseudo Courts is that the flesh
and blood person will be intimidated enough to accept responsibility
for the Birth Certificate! Sounds crazy but nothing is what it seems:
It’s all Smoke and Mirrors.’

Most Police Officers do not know or have these details and believe in
what they are doing and believe the lawyers who counsel them in law
like they are Gods! Big mistake on their part because just like
everyone else, they too have been vigorously lied to! You can’t trust
lawyers to be inherently honest!

Police Officers are instructed to always print or type the Defendants
Name in Capital letters but they are never told the reason why! As a
precaution, you should always carry a copy of your Birth Certificate
with you as part of your identification papers, which I will explain
in the next paragraph.

At your Arraignment or Trial, the Judge will ask you if you are the
named individual [ALL CAPS BIRTH NAME] on the complaint and your
natural response will be to answer in the affirmative but that is
exactly what you don’t want to do!

Remove your Birth Certificate and respond to him by stating: I am
making a Special Limited Appearance on behalf of the defendant who is
right here and [hold up your Birth Certificate!]

Then state the following: As I understand this process Judge; the
County Attorney [or] Police Officer has leveled a criminal charge with
the Clerk and against the Trust, using the ALL CAPS NAME that appears
on this BIRTH CERTIFICATE! The use of capital letters is dictated by
the US Printing Style Manuel, which explains how to identify a
CORPORATION, The Clerk, who is the ADMINISTRATOR of the CESTA QUE
TRUST, then, appointed you Judge as the TRUSTEE for the TRUST and
since neither of you can be the BENEFICIARY, that leaves me and
therefore you are MY TRUSTEE!

So as MY TRUSTEE, I instruct you to discharge this entire matter, with
prejudice and award the penalties for these crimes to be paid to me in
compensation and damages for my false arrest!

The TRUSTEE Judge has no alternative but to honor your demands but you
have to get this right and act with confidence! You really need to
know this information well, so that you can’t be hoodwinked or
confused by either of them! They will or may attempt to play some mind
games with you if you display any doubt; stammer of display a lack of
confidence! Appearances [the pomp and majesty] of these pseudo Courts,
is totally for your benefit and is intended to invoke fear and
intimidation! If you show fear or intimidation, you get a pony ride!

NOTE: I’ve seen and heard of Judges and Prosecutors interfering with a
defendant’s response, which made the defendant, become confused and he
was subsequently committed into a mental hospital for psychiatric
evaluation. The Judge and Prosecutor successfully twisted what the
defendant was trying to say and then the Judge Ordered a mental
evaluation.

Understand that the County Attorney will be forced to pay the Cost of
Court out of his own pocket, if the case is discharged, so he isn’t
going to give up that easily and the Judge; Clerk and County Attorney,
stand to make a pretty penny of your conviction and incarceration! So
don’t screw it up…

If the County Attorney begins to act too cocky with you, you can take
the wind out of his sails by asking him to produce the 1020 for this
case? If he denies the need to do such a thing, inform him that you
will be taking care of that for him ASAP [as soon as possible]! He may
move for a discharge at that point because you are a little too
dangerous or smart! The last thing that Prosecutor wants is the IRS
examining his files for the last seven years because he makes money on
every conviction but he doesn’t pay TAXES on them as a Rule! He
usually only declares the salary he receives.

Also: Should you accidentally find yourself in a mental hospital: the
Psychiatrist who is assigned or appointed to evaluate you is just as
corrupt as the Judge; Clerk and County Attorney and he will falsify
all of your responses to him, just so that you are recommitted back
into the mental facility with a review in six months! So lie to him
and deny that you ever made such remarks! Of course, if you accept the
criminal charges against your Birth Certificate, then you will
instantly be deemed SANE!

Sorry that I had to be the one to tell you this but this is how
corrupt many of my fellow Judges truly are and it should explain why
my conscience caused me to retire early! Before I learned what was
really going on; I believed that my duties and performance were
entirely Constitutional. I was lied to also!

CITATIONS:

The CITATION process can be handled much easier; through the mail.
When a Police Officer issues you a CITATION, he is actually requesting
you to CONTRACT with him! He is alleging that you violated a corporate
regulation in writing, which you have accepted by signing and thus
requires you to respond.

The Police Officer is instructed to explain that your signature is
merely an acknowledgment that you received a copy of the CITATION but
in actuality, your signature is notification to the Court and Judge
that you have accepted or CONSENTED to this offer to CONTRACT, which
also grants the Judge CONSENT; PERSONAM and SUBJECT MATTER
jurisdiction over you and the case!

You can cancel that CONTRACT however my rescinding your CONSENT,
within three business days of entering into such a CONTRACT. So across
the face of the CITATION you should print or type in large print, the
following words:

I DO NOT ACCEPT THIS OFFER TO CONTRACT

And I DO NOT CONSENT TO THESE PROCEEDINGS.

Use blue ink [for admiralty] or purple ink [for royalty]. Admiralty is
the Court and Royalty represents your Sovereignty. Either way is
appropriate. Sign your signature underneath in blue or purple ink and
in front of a Notary and under your signature type: Without prejudice,
UCC 1-308. This is another way to declare that you may not be held
responsible for this contract pursuant to the Uniform Commercial Code.

Serve Cancelled Citation back it on the Clerk / Court, along with a
Certificate of Service, by Certified Mail, Return Receipt Requested.
This kills the CITATION; removes your CONCENT and removes the
JURISDICTION of the Court, all at the same time. It really is that
simple!

NOTE: A Certificate of Service is a letter that first identifies the
Citation and then defines how and when you returned the document to
the Court and is signed. If not denied, it becomes a truth in commerce
by Tacit Procuration.

Remember to keep a copy of everything, in case the Clerk attempts to
trash your response, which certainly will not happen with a
Certificate of Service or if it is mailed back by the Notary. The
Notary is actually a Deputy Secretary of State and is more powerful
than the Court Clerk!

Public Notaries originate from the time of the Egyptian and Roman
Scribes who were the purveyors of certified documents, which are sworn
affidavits. Certified documents and sworn affidavits are truth in
commerce. [e.g.] Birth Certificates are certified documents on bonded
paper. The word bonded is derived from bondage as in slavery, which
makes all of us Bond Slaves to whoever retains custody of our original
Birth Certificates. I bet you believed that the Emancipation
Proclamation freed the slaves and it did for a short time and then the
Birth Certificate and the 14th Amendment enslaved us all!

SUMMONS and LAWSUITS:

The SUMMONS process, whether it is defined a Civil or Criminal Action,
is once again an offer to CONTRACT, despite what words are to command
your appearance or response. It too can be cancelled just by following
the same procedure as the CITATION process above. A million dollar
lawsuit is no different than a CITATION and both can be cancelled!
Hard to believe, isn’t it?

Does your lawyer know about this? You bet he does but he is not
permitted to embarrass the Court and besides, Court is where he makes
his money!

NOTE: How many of you have ever attempted to avoid Jury Duty? All you
had to do was cancel the SUMMONS [OFFER to CONTRACT]; Notarize it and
mail it back to the Jury Commissioner. Don’t worry, they won’t bother
you because you are obviously too smart and may influence their Jury!
The Jury [controls] the Court and not the Prosecutor and Judge and if
you know that, they lose and the defendant wins, which is why they
prefer only the dumbed down candidates to serve on Jury.

There are a few matters or issues that are next to impossible to
circumvent or quash because of the depth of corruption within these
pseudo Courts, such as child custody and the division of property
resulting form a divorce. The Birth State claims the custody of your
children pursuant to the Birth Certificate and records them under the
Department of Transportation as a State owned Vessel!

A marriage is a CONTRACT and all that is required is a PRE-NUPIAL
AGREEMENT to complete the marriage but if you are sufficiently
indoctrinated to believe that a Judge or Mayor or a Minister or
Priest, must join you in holy matrimony and you subsequently applied
for a LICENSE; now you both have married the STATE as well! Now the
State is entitled to its fair share of the division of your marital
property should the marriage not work out or should you die [called
probate]! Some people might say that a divorce should be included on
this list of impossible issues but then they don’t know what I know!

DIVORCE;

An Action in Divorce is a request to break the LICENSED MARRIAGE
CONTRACT. If you desire a divorce and your spouse refuses to consent
to a divorce, no State Judge will grant you a Divorce Decree because
the Judge has not been granted the CONSENT of both parties! There is a
way around this however, which your lawyer will never admit to because
he cannot make any money from giving you truthful or sound advice!

NOTE: Puerto Rico is a United States Territory acquired from Spain and
it still operates under Spanish Law. This was never changed by the
Corporate United States when Puerto Rico became a US Territory, so
first you need to fly to Puerto Rico.

Once in Puerto Rico, you can establish residency by simply opening a
Post Office Box for a period of three days. Just after opening the
Post Office Box, hire a local Paralegal to prepare an Action in
Divorce for you. The Paralegal will file the divorce petition
immediately, which is generally a certified form document and it will
be heard by a Puerto Rican Judge within three days.

Under Spanish law, your spouse is not required to be served the
divorce petition: only the divorce decree. Five days after the Decree,
your former spouse will receive the divorce decree in the mail,
written entirely in Spanish, which cannot be contested and must be
honored by all US Federal and State Courts!

NOTE: Immediately after the Puerto Rican Judge declares you divorced,
if you choose, you can marry again by Contract or by License. Both are
legitimate, but no one will ever tell you that!

The division of marital property and custody of children is a much
more complicated issue but at least the divorce cannot be utilized as
leverage against you to divide up your property, less than
proportionately, which is exactly why American Judges will not
bifurcate the issues involved in a divorce. [e.g.] Divorce; division
of property; custody; support and alimony. The hope is that your
desire to obtain a divorce is worth more to you than anything else you
own, now or in the future!

FORECLOSURE;

If you are involved in a FORECLOSURE or are thinking about filing for
BANKRUPTCY protection to buy you more time, instead of trying to
defeat the corrupt Bank and your Creditors in a State or Federal
Court, where the cards are certainly stacked against you, plan to file
for BANKRUPTCY and do it this way, to ensure that you come out on top!
All BANKRUPTCY FORMS are printable; can be obtained on line and they
can be completed in longhand with an ink pen. The Forms to use are:
B-1 through and including B-8, You only need to prepare and file the
first five or six pages to obtain a Case Number and then you must sit
through a Credit Counseling session, which can be done all in a day.
When you are completely finished with preparing your petition, you
should have filed about 58 pages in total and the filing fee is around
$280.

Here’s the reason for using the Bankruptcy Courts:

List all your debts on one schedule and when it comes to listing your
assets include your BIRTH CERTIFICATE and its CUSIP NO. The value of
the Mutual Fund Investment for your Birth Certificate can also be
found on line using the CUSIP Number under Fidelity Investments. You
will discover that it is worth multi-millions but you must have the
CUSIP NO. on your asset schedule or the Birth Certificate will be
discharged as frivolous by the JUDGE or the TRUSTEE.

The Bankruptcy Judge will then appoint a LAWYER TRUSTEE to dissolve
the Mutual Fund Investment: pay off your debts and the balance must be
paid to you! This procedure usually attracts the attention of the
[DOJ] Department of Justice because they don’t want the LAWYER TRUSTEE
to screw up and short change the Vatican; the Federal Reserve and the
Corporate United States and so they tend to warn or threaten the
LAWYER TRUSTEE to be very careful!

Most of these Mutual Fund Investments usually involve a group of
between 10 to 25 Birth Certificates and so only a fraction of that
Mutual Fund belongs to you! The Bankruptcy Judge will not certify the
final disposition until the LAWYER TRUSTEE can prove his math and
every aspect of his work because the Judge inherits responsibility for
the Trustee’s errors, if he made any!

After the LAWYER TRUSTEE resigns, you can probably cut a deal with the
DOJ or you can proceed on with the same Bankruptcy proceeding and the
newly appointed LAWYER TRUSTEE! Now isn’t that easier and better than
attacking or defending yourself against the Bank and a bunch of greedy
Creditors; knowing full well that the cards are stacked against you
because of the Vatican and the Federal Reserve System.

While you are in Bankruptcy, you are protected. No one can proceed
against you for any debts or foreclosure, as long as you have a bond
or sufficient assets: the Birth Certificate guarantees that aspect and
while in Bankruptcy, you won’t have to pay on any of those past debts!

NOTE: There is a process to follow to determine your CUSIP NO [OR] you
can ask a Stock Broker friend to help you [or] hire a Broker on the
side to assist you. There are people in the Patriot movement who also
know how to apply the formula, which converts your Birth Registration
Number and or Social Security Number into a CUSIP Number. I paid to
have mine done and discovered that I am worth about 167 million. It’s
all FIAT money but as long as it can be spent, who cares?

I hope that this entire expose has enlightened and elevated your
personal knowledge and will benefit you now and in the future. Pax
vobiscum (Peace be with you.)

Many American journalists appear to be locked into a peculiar way of thinking that makes them blind to signs of political criminality in high office.

This mindset is characterised by an apparent inability to differentiate groundless accusations of élite political intrigue from legitimate concerns about the integrity of US political leaders and institutions.

For some reason, when it comes to popular suspicions of schemes involving the nation's political élites, many journalists in the United States make no distinctions. They categorise all such suspicions as 'conspiracy theories,' which they assume are not only untrue, but wacky and paranoid.

The conspiracy theory label was first popularised as a pejorative putdown by the CIA in a global propaganda program to attack critics of the 1964 Warren Commission's conclusion that President Kennedy was assassinated by a lone gunman with no government foreknowledge or assistance.

The CIA campaign called on foreign media corporations and journalists to criticise 'conspiracy theorists' and to raise questions about their motives and judgments. Any and all criticisms of the lone-gunman account of the assassination were lumped together as 'conspiracy theories,' declared groundless and pernicious, and attributed to ulterior motives and the influence of communist propagandists.

Today, the conspiracy theory label is widely used as a verbal defense mechanism by US political élites to suppress mass suspicions that inevitably arise whenever shocking political crimes benefit top leaders or play into their agendas, especially when those same officials are in control of agencies responsible for preventing the events in question or for investigating them after they have occurred.

It is only natural to be suspicious when a president and vice president bent on war in the Middle East are warned of impending terrorist attacks and yet fail to alert the American public or increase the readiness of the nation's armed forces.

Why would Americans not expect answers when they are told that in September 2001, Arabs with poor piloting skills managed to hijack four planes, fly them across the eastern United States, somehow evade America's multilayered system of air defense, and then crash two of the planes into the Twin Towers in New York City and one into the Pentagon in Washington, DC?

By the same token, it is only natural to question the motives of the president and vice president when they drag their feet on investigating this seemingly inexplicable defense failure and then, when the investigation is finally conducted, they insist on testifying together, in secret, and not under oath.

Indiscriminate condemnation of conspiracy beliefs is obviously misguided, because political conspiracies in high circles do, in fact, happen.

Everyone knows that officials in the Nixon administration conspired to steal the 1972 presidential election, that the Reagan White House engaged in a criminal scheme to sell arms to Iran and channel profits to the Contras (a rebel army in Nicaragua), and that the Bush-Cheney administration colluded to mislead Congress and the American public about the strength of its evidence for Iraqi weapons of mass destruction.

If some conspiracy theories are true, then it is nonsensical to dismiss all unsubstantiated suspicions of élite intrigue as false by definition. And yet this is precisely how many American journalists proceed.

Consider the public statements last year by Chuck Todd about the improbability of voting machines ever being rigged in US elections. Todd is an NBC News reporter and analyst. According to Andrew Kreig at OpEdNews.com, Todd told a national meeting of state election officials that suspicions about voting machines being manipulated in the United States "stretched the bounds of reality." Todd delivered a similar message in a tweet shortly before the 2012 presidential election, when he wrote, "The voting machine conspiracies belong in same category as the Trump birther garbage."

In his tweet, Todd displays the hallmark symptom of conspiracy denial: he sees no difference between two very different suspicions. One involves schemes to steal elections by tampering with voting equipment, while the other is about President Obama's status as a natural born citizen. These suspicions differ greatly in terms of their plausibility and evidentiary support.

Doubts about President Obama's eligibility for the presidency are said to have been refuted by documents showing he was born in Hawaii. In contrast, there are a number of reasons to think that weaknesses in electronic voting machines and tabulators might be exploited to alter election outcomes, especially in presidential elections where the powers of the office and the money and energy invested in campaigns make the stakes so enormously high.

As an elections analyst for a national TV network, Todd surely knows that electronic voting and tabulation systems are quite vulnerable to being hacked.

This was demonstrated in 2006 on electronic touch-screen voting machines by researchers at Princeton University. The researchers found that programs could be planted in the machines to flip votes from one candidate to another so that vote totals match the number of voters who sign in to cast ballots.

The programs can be set to run only on Election Day and not earlier, when the machines are tested. The programs can also be configured to erase themselves at the end of the day so no trace is left of the electronic tampering.

The optical scan systems, which read and tabulate votes on paper ballots, are vulnerable to similar manipulation by programs which can be inserted on the machines' portable memory cards.

Scholars began investigating the security of electronic voting systems in the first place because election returns in the 2004 presidential contest differed systematically from the exit polls in the most hotly contested states.

Shortly after the election, Steven Freeman, a statistician at the University of Pennsylvania, posted a paper analysing the disparities. He pointed out that the proportion of votes credited to Bush and Kerry differed from the split reported in the exit polls in ten out of eleven battleground states, and in every case George Bush Jnr received more votes than the exit polls indicated.

It would not be surprising for election results to depart slightly from exit-poll findings in a single state, but it was astounding that they did so in ten states and that in each instance Bush's support was greater in the vote tabulations than in the exit interviews.

Freeman calculated the odds of this happening by chance, given the size of the samples for the exit polls and the magnitude of the differences between the vote tallies and the survey findings, were one in two hundred and fifty million.

But in America it appears far easier to ridicule popular suspicions than to answer them with rigorous inquiries and prudent safeguards.

Many journalists appear to have been conditioned by public officials to conform to conspiracy-denying norms even though these norms contradict journalistic ethics, historical experience, and common sense.

Journalists who offend political élites by investigating or merely repeating popular conspiracy theories risk losing access to the sources upon which they depend for their reporting.

The appropriate journalistic response to this governmental coercion is to expose it and find other sources. That was what Carl Bernstein and Bob Woodward did with Watergate, and it is what Russ Baker, Seymour Hersh, Jane Mayer, James Risen, and other great journalists always do.

But most run-of-the-mill hacks have embraced conspiracy denial, and for them it has become an emotionally charged, self-reinforcing belief system.

The mindset is self-reinforcing in the sense that it engenders feelings of superiority and is dismissive of evidence. Ironically, conspiracy deniers affect to think that they are protecting civility and reason in public discourse, when in fact, by ridiculing reasonable concerns and appealing to élite prejudices, they are doing precisely the opposite.

Heneghan - 'Checkmate!' - Says DHS Ordered Destruction of Tsarnaev Smoking Gun Computer Now Recovered Wednesday May 1, 2013 Checkmate! by Tom Heneghan International Intelligence Expert UNITED States of America - It can now be reported that it was the TREASONOUS Department of Homeland Security (DHS) that ordered Katherine Russell, the wife of the late Boston bombing suspect, Tamerlan Tsarnaev, to destroy the laptop computer that is now in question in regards to the three Facebook students from the nation of Pakistan that were arrested today and charged with obstruction of justice. Note: These three students did nothing except to have a friendship with the Tsarnaev brothers and put nothing of substance concerning this case in their trash. The laptop computer contained phone numbers and emails of DHS contacts and Russian FSB colleagues and Israeli Mossad assets in the nations of Chechnya and the Republic of Georgia. We can now divulge that Katherine Russell Tsarnaev, as well as her late husband, and the younger brother of Tamerlan Tsarnaev were all Russian FSB Intelligence agents and employees of the Department of Homeland Security. The phone call made by Katherine Russell Tsarnaev was actually made to the highest level of the Department of Homeland Security who then gave her her marching orders to destroy the computer. P.S. At this hour we can report, reference CBS News, that the computer was not destroyed and that Katherine Russell Tsarnaev turned over the computer to U.S. Provost Marshals who are now in possession of 'smoking gun' evidence that fingers the TREASONOUS Department of Homeland Security for unabashed HIGH TREASON against the American People in the Boston FALSE FLAG Black Op attack on U.S. citizens on U.S. soil. How dare you, you conspiratorial tyrants and kings and notable queens! Reference: Senator Lindsey Graham, Republican of South Carolina, is currently in possession of the evidence. P.P.S. Senator Graham of South Carolina is also in possession of overwhelming evidence linking the Boston FALSE FLAG Black Op to a terrorist team out of Chechnya and the Republic of Georgia to the same terrorist team financed by the American-Turkish Council (ATC) and the U.S. State Department that coordinated the attack on the unregistered diplomatic outpost in Benghazi, Libya that led to the assassination of U.S. Ambassador Christopher Stevens and three Americans. In closing, the conspiratorial TREASONOUS privately owned U.S. Federal Reserve has now cross-collateralized $78 TRILLION of worthless Deutsche Bank derivatives to $234 TRILLION of worthless Deutsche Bank derivatives with now 90% of the derivatives tied to the Central Bank of Japan and naked short positions in the Japanese yen currency. http://www.myspace.com/tom_heneghan_intel/blog

Dinar RV - "This is it. Should see it in the morning

Burk50) Robertprofessor..can you take a look at the Frank post on Recaps and tell me what you think?

[Robertprofessor] burk50 I quick, non critical or careful reading seems that it says much money has moved into the CBI but if so why hasn't the IQD RV'd then? Well, they cannot do the r v themselves. They wait for it to be done from outside Iraq, way above their authority.

burk50] Robert Proferror over all Franks info seemed to think anytime right ? Imo

Robertprofessor] burk50 Yes, I do see that.

[IslandDancer] Anyone see threeScotsman this morning? His personal wealth manager was maybe going to send him a screen shot of a rate

IslandDancer] [TheeScotsman] My Personal Wealth Banker with WF just texted me with the following cryptic msg. "This is it. Should see it in the morning. My source says it is 1:1 in Iraq at this moment with an announcement later tonight. Other sources are saying, too. Everyone is on the same page." Take this for what it is worth - R U M O R

[IslandDancer] [TheeScotsman] jam777 - no - she texted me a half hour ago or so and told me what I posted above - just now she texted me that when she gets in her office in the morning she will check her screen and send me a screen shot IF her intel is correct.

[tc0043] Coffeeone From all the intel calls I`ve been on, it has been stated there will be three different rates, CBI, UST, and bank rate for people not in groups. Group rate will be a multiple of the bank rate. RUMOR

DiddyKong] Coffeeone I think it will be simultaneous, just the CBI or the UN Treasury would be last to reflect. don't know how "real time" they are as the rates of currency change every hour

A TRUE SCANDAL IF FACTS ARE LEGIT

Excellent summary of fraud on Barry Sotero's Social Security Numberand Birth Certificate.THIS IS MORE LIKE RIPLEY'S BELIEVE IT OR NOT.....AND THE BEAT GOES ON. HOW NO ONE GETS A REASSIGNED SS NUMBERAn intensive investigation has revealed the identity of the man whoseSocial Security number (SSN) is being used by President Obama:Jean Paul Ludwig, who was born in France in 1890, immigrated to theUnited States in 1924, and was assigned SSN 042-68-4425 (Obama'scurrent SSN) on or about March 1977.Ludwig lived most of his adult life in Connecticut . Because of that,his SSN begins with the digits 042, which are among only a select fewreserved for Connecticut residents.Obama never lived or worked in that state! Therefore, there is no reasonon earth for his SSN to start with the digits 042. None whatsoever!Now comes the best part! Ludwig spent the final months of his life inHawaii , where he died.Conveniently, Obama's grandmother, Madelyn Payne Dunham, workedpart-time in the Probate Office in the Honolulu Hawaii Courthouse, andtherefore had access to the SSNs of deceased individuals.The Social Security Administration was never informed of Ludwig'sdeath, and because he never received Social Security benefits therewere no benefits to stop and therefore, no questions were ever raised.The suspicion, of course, is that Dunham, knowing her grandson was nota U.S. Citizen, either because he was born in Kenya or became acitizen of Indonesia upon his adoption by Lolo Soetoro simply scouredthe probate records until she found someone who died who was notreceiving Social Security benefits, and selected Mr. Ludwig'sConnecticut SSN for Obama.Just wait until Trump gets past the birth certificate and onto the issueof Barry O's use of a stolen SSN. You will see leftist heads exploding,because they will have no way of defending Obama. Although many Americans do not understand the meaning of the term"natural born" there are few who do not understand that if you are usingsomeone else's SSN it is a clear indication of fraud.Let's all get this information out to everybody on our mailing lists.If the voters of this great nation can succeed in bringing this lying,deceitful, cheating, corrupt, impostor to justice it will be thebiggest and best news in decades for our country and the world."Very Interesting Bit of Detective Work"1. Back in 1961 people of color were called 'Negroes.' So how can theObama 'birth certificate' state he is 'African-American when the termwasn't even used at that time?2. The birth certificate that the White House released lists Obama's birthas August 4, 1961. It also lists Barack Hussein Obama as his father. Nobig deal, right? At the time of Obama's birth, it also shows that his father isaged 25 years old, and that Obama's father was born in " Kenya, East Africa".This wouldn't seem like anything of concern, except the fact that Kenyadid not even exist until 1963, two whole years after Obama's birth, and 27years after his father's birth. How could Obama's father have been born in acountry that did not yet exist? Up and until Kenya was formed in 1963, it wasknown as the " British East AfricaProtectorate".3. On the birth certificate released by the White House, the listed place ofbirth is "Kapi'olani Maternity & Gynecological Hospital ". This cannot be,because the hospital(s) in question in 1961 were called "KauiKeolaniChildren's Hospital" and "Kapi'olani Maternity Home", respectively. The namedid not change to Kapi'olani Maternity & Gynecological Hospital until 1978,when these two hospitals merged. How can this particular name of thehospital be on a birth certificate dated 1961 if this name had not yet beenapplied to it until 1978?Resources:<http://www.kapiolani.org/women-and-children/about-us/default.aspx>Post-colonial history (from Wikipedia)<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Kenya><http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kenya> Why hasn't this been discussed in the major media?LET THIS CIRCLE THE NATION, PASS IT ON.GOD BLESS AMERICA!!!

Whistleblowing now akin to treason

Whistleblowing now akin to treason

Posted By: Susoni [Send E-Mail]
Date: Wednesday, 1-May-2013 15:26:15

When Thomas Drake, then an official at the National Security Agency, realized that the agency’s decision to shut down an internal data analysis program and instead outsource the project to a private contractor provided the government with less effective analysis at much higher cost, he tried to do something about it. Drake’s decision to join three other whistleblowers in asking the agency’s inspector general to investigate ultimately made him the target of a leak investigation that tore his life apart. In 2005, the inspector general of the Department of Defense, of which NSA is a part, confirmed the whistleblowers’ accusations of waste, fraud and security risk. Earlier this year, former NSA Director Michael Hayden even conceded that TrailBlazer, the program for which the NSA paid over $1 billion to the Science Applications International Corporation, had failed. The agency, after killing its own program (called ThinThread) “outsourced how we gathered other people’s communications,” he said in response to a question from investigative journalist Tim Shorrock. “And that was a bridge too far for industry. We tried a moonshot, and it failed.” Nevertheless, Drake’s efforts to expose that waste and abuse would ultimately lead to his being charged under the 1917 Espionage Act — a law intended for the prosecution of spies, not whistleblowers. Drake, a subject of a new documentary, War on Whistleblowers: Free Press and the National Security State, could have been put away for the rest of his life. “Speaking truth to power is now a criminal act,” Drake told filmmaker Robert Greenwald. The investigation that would ensnare Drake began in 2006, under the Bush administration. But he wasn’t charged until 2010, when the Obama administration accused him of providing information to Baltimore Sun reporter Siobhan Gorman. In 2006 and 2007, she wrote a series of articles on NSA inefficiencies sourced to as many as 18 people, including Drake, who contends that he did not provide any classified information to her. Rather than charging him with leaking classified information, the government charged him with retaining classified information. Over the course of the investigation, however, the government admitted that some of the documents in question had subsequently either been declassified or were never classified to begin with. Between that embarrassing revelation and the attention of good government groups, the case against Drake fell apart. In 2011, the government dismissed all espionage-related charges against Drake, and he pleaded guilty to one misdemeanor charge: unauthorized use of a government computer. The judge in the case, Richard Bennett, said the case against Drake “doesn’t pass the smell test,” when he sentenced him to probation. Today Drake works at an Apple retail store rather than serving the country in a high-level national security role. In a speech at the National Press Club last month, Drake talked about being charged with a crime originally targeted at people who sold sensitive information to our enemies. “When you’re painted with the Espionage Act, it’s the worst thing,” Drake said, “because you’re immediately put into the same category historically as the Aldrich Ameses of the world, or the [Robert] Hanssens of the world — the real spies.” “That’s how that World War I statute was originally designed,” Drake continued. “Troubled as it is, in terms of the Constitution, it was designed to go after spies, not truth-tellers, not whistleblowers, and not people having contact with the press. It was not designed for that. But that’s what it’s turned into.” Equating Whistleblowing With Spying Thomas Drake’s prosecution is just the most egregious of a series of cases the Obama administration has pursued against whistleblowers. While a number of the cases were initiated under the Bush administration, the Department of Justice under President Barack Obama has used the Espionage Act far more expansively than his predecessors. All told, Obama’s DOJ has prosecuted six whistleblowers and a researcher under the Espionage Act (in addition to Drake, the Obama administration has charged Shamai Leibowitz, Jeffrey Sterling, Stephen Jin-Woo Kim, Jeffrey Sterling, Bradley Manning, and James Hitselberger). “The government, backed by the national security state influence, is using its powers and influence to threaten, scare and try to silence whistleblowers and journalists,” said Greenwald, whose film is a joint project with the War Costs project of the Brave New Foundation, which he founded. “Using its unlimited legal and financial resources the effort to scare [people] into silence even before going through the judicial process is a serious miscarriage of justice and democracy.” The government effectively maintains that sharing information about American policies with the American public is as bad as secretly dealing top-secret information to one of our enemies. In both the Sterling case, in which a former CIA officer allegedly provided information on a botched operation targeted at Iran, and the Manning case, in which Bradley Manning leaked information to WikiLeaks, the government has even said as much. In the Sterling case, the government argued that providing information to the New York Times was “more pernicious than the typical espionage case where a spy sells classified information for money” because by just giving information to the press, “every foreign adversary stood to benefit from the defendant’s unauthorized disclosure of classified information.” In the Manning case, the government justified charging Manning with “aiding the enemy” — a charge that can carry the death sentence — by contending that passing information to either WikiLeaks or the Times still amounted to indirectly handing information to al Qaeda. And it increasingly appears the government is extending that logic — whistleblowing equals espionage — in its investigative approach. The government’s investigation of Drake began not for his role as a source for the Baltimore Sun series, but because it was searching for sources for the devastating 2005 New York Times story, broken by James Risen and Eric Lichtblau, revealing the Bush administration’s widespread use of warrantless wiretaps. Drake was not a source for that story; he wasn’t even “read into” the program. However, the FBI appears to have identified Drake, the former NSA whistleblowers with whom he had complained to the inspector general, and Diane Roark, a former House Intelligence Committee staffer, as people who had complained internally about ThinThread and TrailBlazer, as related programs. Once they did so, the FBI interpreted actions taken to submit the IG complaint as well as information given to the Intelligence Committee — which has oversight in such matters — as proof they were leaking classified information about ThinThread and TrailBlazer. The investigation clearly ignored the extensive whistleblowing about ThinThread — whose rejection by NSA, Drake says, laid the groundwork for the warrantless wiretapping that the Bush administration initiated after the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. An affidavit justifying a December 2007 warrant for Drake’s emails makes almost no mention that Drake and his colleagues were sharing information, in large part, in an effort to report fraud, waste and abuse — waste the NSA Inspector General (and, ultimately, Congress) affirmed. Instead, it suggests Drake and the people with whom he was accused of conspiring were in search of profit. While the affidavit treats with skeptism their views that ThinThread performed better than TrailBlazer, it doesn’t appear to mention that the inspector general had investigated the issue and confirmed their views. It presents Drake’s printing of specifically unclassified documents as suspicious: “Drake was then seen rolling up [unclassified] documents … and placing the documents in the glove box of his vehicle, where they would not be visible to others,” the affidavit alleges, as part of the case for probable cause. Fishing Expedition Once the FBI discovered a group of people who had warned the appropriate congressional oversight committee, as well as the Pentagon, that NSA had made costly, ineffective choices, the bureau kept digging into their lives until it found something. “My life was turned upside down.” Drake said at his National Press Club speech.“I know for a fact that everything you could find out or anything you could possibly imagine in your life — any transaction, all your e-mails, any and all subscriber information with any concern, including telecommunication concerns — was all exposed to the government. Because they were looking for what was necessary to indict me.” When the government designates whistleblowers as espionage targets, Drake said in an interview, that designation gives them “free rein to tear your life apart.” Drake and most of the others charged by the Obama administration under the Espionage Act still either worked directly for or were contracted to the government at the beginning of the investigation, which means the government had broad access to information on them as part of their security clearance. Then the investigation proceeded using Title III (criminal, not intelligence) warrants. But for investigative targets who don’t hold a security clearance, the label “espionage” may serve to give the government the same kind of investigative license it has with clearance holders. Once the attorney general deems an investigation to be a counterintelligence (that is, espionage) probe, the government gains access to a whole set of secretive investigative tools, such as National Security Letters, which require recipients, such as telecom companies, retail outlets and even libraries, to turn over records of a target’s transactions — without notifying the target. Other tools include orders, authorized under Section 215 of the USA PATRIOT Act, to turn over business records, up to and including cell phone GPS data. These tools effectively allow the government to camp out on someone’s life — read their e-mails, search their dwellings and computers, review their financial information — until the government discovers evidence of a crime. Is Supporting WikiLeaks a Crime? That may be what happened with WikiLeaks. On Dec. 6, 2010,n question, the government labeled WikiLeaks a spying entity, allowing the government expansive investigative powers. To be clear, any investigation of Julian Assange — who is not an American citizen and not in the US — could easily use such tools. But to pursue, in the same heavy-handed way, any Americans involved, the “espionage” designation provides a very valuable tool. Jacob Appelbaum, an American who is a security researcher and volunteer for WikiLeaks, has been heavily surveilled fighest level of involvement at the Department of Justice.” In a statement before his court martial on February 28, Bradley Manning insisted that no one had solicited him to send information. “The decisions that I made to send documents and information to [WikiLeaks] were my own decisions, and I take full responsibility for my actions.” Not long after Holder made his statement, the government reportedly reached the same conclusion. Yet the government continues its investigation into known associates of WikiLeaks. It appears that without having acquired any information showing evidence that WikiLeaks solicited the information in question, the government labeled WikiLeaks a spying entity, allowing the government expansive investigative powers. To be clear, any investigation of Julian Assange — who is not an American citizen and not in the US — could easily use such tools. But to pursue, in the same heavy-handed way, any Americans involved, the “espionage” designation provides a very valuable tool. Jacob Appelbaum, an American who is a security researcher and volunteer for WikiLeaks, has been heavily surveilled for two and a half years in actions apparently related to the WikiLeaks investigation. He has been stopped and interrogated at borders more than four times, subjected to physical surveillance, and had his communication metadata collected by administrative subpoena. The information collected ranges from the unique identifier assigned to every Internet user, the identifying number assigned to one’s Internet provider, cell phone service provider, general local information, phone numbers of recipients of the target’s calls and texts, e-mail addresses to which communications were sent, and more. And, the FBI once hinted, a National Security Letter was likely served on his Gmail account. Appelbaum has also talked about the danger the investigation has done to those associated with him, which in his case includes democracy activists in authoritarian countries. Guilt By Association The other thing that comes with some of these counterintelligence investigative techniques is a very expansive standard for collection: information need only be “relevant to” an investigation to require a third party to turn over the information requested by the government. In this way, the government can also collect information on associates of a whistleblower who may have no evident ties to a leak or crime. This permits the government to collect personal information on associates of a target or whistleblower, on the theory of guilt by association. In Drake’s case, the government, using ordinary Article III search warrants, investigated everyone who had ties with him, Drake said in our conversation, undermining their First Amendment right of assembly. “Everybody that was associated with me, either because they used to work for me or had links to me or had ties to me by mere association — assembly, that freedom to do so under the First Amendment — were investigated, were interrogated,” Drake said. “And some of those same people lost their jobs and their livelihood because of their association with me. Mere association meant they were guilty. And they were going to be punished — punished — because of that association.” Worse may have happened in the WikiLeaks investigation. In response to a Freedom of Information request from the Electronic Privacy Information Center for information on investigation into supporters of WikiLeaks, the government refused to turn over information, in part, because it was statutorily prohibited from doing so. Yet it wouldn’t reveal the statute in question, because “to disclose which statute or further discuss its application publicly would undermine interests protected by [the ongoing investigation into WikiLeaks], as well as by the withholding statute.” The government went so far as to plead with the judge not to reveal the statutes under which the government was investigating WikiLeaks supporters, writing: “Defendants respectfully request that the Court not identify the Exemption 3 statute(s) at issue.” That the government clearly doesn’t want to reveal what statutory theories it is using to investigate not just Bradley Manning, but mere supporters of WikiLeaks, strongly suggests it is relying on one of the national security statutes that would be triggered by an espionage investigation, which would come with a gag order. Your Data in a Driftnet The government has three other relatively new tools it could wield against whistleblowers. As the ACLU’s senior policy counsel Mike German pointed out in an interview, the government’s compilation of massive databases of information on U.S. persons data makes it possible to find evidence of “wrongdoing” on a person as soon as they expose themselves as whistleblowers. These databases are assembled through what is known as a “driftnet” process, where the government just collects everybody’s metadata, much as the fishing industry uses mile-long driftnets to catch everything that wanders into the net. “A big part of the problem of the driftnet collection is that the information just sits in a pool waiting for a reason to exploit it,” German told me. “So whistleblowers are at great risk because, as they used to say in the FBI, no one is ‘administratively pure.’ Once a person becomes a whistleblower, agents have deep databases they can reach into to find anything that justifies firing them.” Additionally, in 2011, the FBI changed its Domestic Investigations and Operations Guide to make it easier to identify any government officials who might be talking to the press. Previously, the government had required attorney general approval before accessing a journalist’s communications. But with the new DIOG, the FBI held that the policy only applied to journalists’ communications accessed via a search warrant. As the DIOG makes clear, the FBI asserts the right to access a journalist’s toll records (a record of everyone a person has called or e-mailed) using National Security Letters. And since those aren’t warrants, they don’t fall under the previous policy. While the DIOG redacts most of the details about under what circumstances FBI agents can use NSLs to get journalists’ contact information, it makes it clear it is permissible in at least some situations. “If the NSL is seeking telephone toll records of an individual who is a member of the news media or news organization … there are no additional approval requirements other than those set out in DIOG Section 18.6.6.1.3.” In other words, even as the government has increasingly been targeting whistleblowers as spies, it has made it easier — potentially far, far easier — for law enforcement to access the contact information of journalists the government deems to be witnesses, via their communication with sources, to a “crime.” Then, last year, the director of National Intelligence added a question to the polygraph personnel with security clearances would undergo, that asks specifically about contacts with “unauthorized recipients,” including the media. As with Drake, this raises the likelihood a national security official will be fired solely for sharing unclassified information with the press. The effect of demonizing whistleblowers and throwing invasive investigative techniques at both the whistleblowers and journalists who report on them is to sow fear. “This arbitrariness in enforcement serves as a serious deterrent to whistleblowing because all employees know that if you become a target they will find something, even though all other agents who engage in the same act or omission aren’t punished at all,”said the ACLU’s German. The Obama administration has set out to brand those who share information publicly as spies, even asserting sharing of information with the public is worse than sharing it with our worst enemies. But underneath that demonization, there’s an entire apparatus of invasive investigative tools that mean any national security insider can have his or her life ripped apart, under the guise of law, as retaliation for trying to expose wrongdoing. http://www.salon.com/2013/04/17/obama_administration_equates_whistleblowing_to_spying_partner/
