President Barack Obama’s unprecedented initiative, known as the Insider Threat Program, is sweeping in its reach. It has received scant public attention even though it extends beyond the U.S. national security bureaucracies to most federal departments and agencies nationwide, including the Peace Corps, the Social Security Administration and the Education and Agriculture departments. It emphasizes leaks of classified material, but catchall definitions of “insider threat” give agencies latitude to pursue and penalize a range of other conduct.
Government documents reviewed by McClatchy illustrate how some agencies are using that latitude to pursue unauthorized disclosures of any information, not just classified material. They also show how millions of federal employees and contractors must watch for “high-risk persons or behaviors” among co-workers and could face penalties, including criminal charges, for failing to report them. Leaks to the media are equated with espionage.
“Hammer this fact home . . . leaking is tantamount to aiding the enemies of the United States,” says a June 1, 2012, Defense Department strategy for the program that was obtained by McClatchy.

There must be some means or person who can get the straight/correct skinny on this. From what you mention it seems preposterous that after serving the time a person is not free to exercise the rights of ordinary citizens.
Have you been following the Beck/Taize whistleblower Possible trip to NY state Capitol. AG would handle fraud cases. Documentation possibly on file while he was a student in NYC. Don’t know if naturalization papers would be there!
I have no doubt that it is a veiled threat by Obamites embedded in the DoD specifically targeted to those retirees who continue to work in a supporting role for the federal government, either as a civil servant or a contractor.
No, I’ve not heard anything about it. Glenn Beck? Is Taize Orly?
He’s to both. He’s been teasing a big announcement. Orly said she met a whistleblower at the IRS protest in DC Beck was one of the speakers. Will ping you to latest thread
The Obama administration theme song:
prescint=prescient
It is what the people want. They said so, via their votes, in two separate elections, four years apart. Now that they are getting what they voted for, they are crying.
Cry, cry baby cry.
This has to be the most paranoid administration in the history of our nation.
Discussing Hitler and the Nazi’s is not bad taste. Romantizing them or saying stuff like, The Jews didn’t have it too bad, is.
It's way past time. We either cowboy up and start holding some massive civil disobedience rallies, or we'll be left with one final option to this tyranny.
“You’ve got to understand that they are trying to find the likes of me,” stated my source. Pretty soon, no one is going to be talking to anybody, especially in the alternative media, even about the damn weather. They won’t risk it, and I’m not just talking about a risk to their careers, either. There has been a systematic method of intimidation with some known and even “approved” media contacts, not just against them, but against their families,” he emphasized.
“The truth is that it was not limited to AP, and not limited to just number identification and call duration, but was an extensive and active wiretapping operation that included every reporter’s telephone conversations, landline and cell, text messages from their personal and business cellular telephones and other electronic devices. The primary focus is on the press gallery, where everything was monitored in real time.”
“Not only were the communications of reporters compromised, so were the private communications of congressmen and their aides. Listen to what I am saying,” he stressed, “the operation was much larger than anyone can imagine. Recordings, actual voice recordings, were turned over to the Obama administration, along with transcripts of texts, other communications and contacts.”
“NSA assets were used, with the NSA acting as the collection agency for their intermediate client, the DHS. Then, at the highest levels of DHS, they sifted through the information collected. But the ultimate client or recipient of the information was the Obama White House. I don’t know if other agencies were involved in sorting through the material, but DHS, and this was limited to the highest of levels at DHS under the personal direction of Janet Napolitano, provided volumes of data directly to the Obama administration. One person inside the administration I know received the data was Valerie Jarrett,” he stated.
“The other part of the lie is that this operation lasted only two months. That’s a lie. It went on well into late last year, was halted shortly after the election, but then picked back up sometime in January,” he said. Something happened in January where there appeared to be another active wiretapping operation started, but this one appeared to be more focused, or more limited in scope. Maybe, and I’m just guessing here based on some of the things I heard, that the Obama people had narrowed their interests based on the fruits of the previous operation.”
Now the ‘Holder hammer’ is coming down on anyone who opens their mouth, or previously leaked any information that could have been or be detrimental to Obama. I can tell you that Valerie Jarrett is working, out of the White House, with DHS and other agencies to co-ordinate their efforts with Justice,” the latter a reference to the Eric Holder Justice Department. “At the same time, on the media side, there is a ‘plumbers team’ headed out of Chicago, with a long reach to the New York and Washington press correspondents. So they are not only going after those on the inside, but the journalists from the other side.”...

The way things are going it’ll soon be mandatory for kids to spy on their parents.
I have watched part of that on Netflix. However, it lacks cc and combined w/the accents, I found it difficult to follow, and so stopped before watching the entire series.
But, yes: it is chillingly current.
Thanx for the YouTube link.
I like dystopian film and only vaguely recall this one.
Federal workers owe $3.5 billion in back taxes
Nearly 312,000 federal workers and retirees owed more than $3.5 billion in back taxes as of Sept. 30, 2011, the agency said. The year before, about 279,000 workers and retirees owed $3.4 billion.

Amerika the tv series is now on you tube.
The most interesting thing was the undercurrent theme that the soviets were surprised that no one in America fought back. And it was stated by Devin in part 4 (34:15 – 36:00 min) of the series:
In Video 6 a soviet general mentioned that “totalitarianism needs no armies – all it needs is the media, the ability to dispense privilege and a weak and divided people helps” which is probably simplistic, but gets the point across about how important propaganda really is.
At 31:30
