National Security Memorandum on Partial Revocation of Presidential Policy Directive 28
The Executive Order of October 7, 2022 (Enhancing Safeguards for United States Signals Intelligence Activities), establishes enhanced safeguards for United States signals intelligence activities that supersede the safeguards for personal information collected through signals intelligence established by Presidential Policy Directive 28 of January 17, 2014 (Signals Intelligence Activities) (PPD-28). The Executive Order establishes enhanced safeguards in recognition that signals intelligence activities must be conducted in a manner that takes into account that all persons should be treated with dignity and respect, regardless of their nationality or wherever they might reside, and that all persons have legitimate privacy interests in the handling of their personal information. In addition, signals intelligence activities present the potential for national security damage if improperly disclosed. Therefore, it is essential to maintain the policy process refined by section 3 of PPD-28 and supplemented by the classified annex to PPD-28, under which national security policymakers consider carefully the value of signals intelligence activities to our national interests and the risks entailed in conducting those activities.
Section 1. Revocation. PPD-28 is hereby revoked except for sections 3 and 6 of that directive and the classified annex to that directive, which remain in effect.
Section 2. General Provisions. (a) Nothing in this memorandum shall be construed to impair or otherwise affect:
(i) the authority granted by law to an executive department, agency, or the head thereof; or
(ii) the functions of the Director of the Office of Management and Budget relating to budgetary, administrative, or legislative proposals.
(b) This memorandum shall be implemented consistent with applicable law and subject to the availability of appropriations.
(c) This memorandum is not intended to, and does not, create any right or benefit, substantive or procedural, enforceable at law or in equity by any party against the United States, its departments, agencies, or entities, its officers, employees, or agents, or any other person.
JOSEPH R. BIDEN JR.
Summary: It revokes the provisions prohibiting spy agencies from targeting Americans.
Interesting timing...
Paging George Orwell.
Spying on Americans and trying to foment nuclear war.
All while inflation and lawlessness abound.
Worst POTUS ever.
Oh no no no. That’s the line right there.
This is a totalitarian takeover of the country.
The government has NEVER EVER had the right to spy on its own citizens. The government belongs to US - not vice-versa.
Didn’t want this noticed, so dropped it on a Friday.
Step #2. When one of them goes off the reservation, have the CIA keep track them and praise the CIA when Mohammed is prevented from committing a terrorist act.
Step #3. Identify White Nationalists as the new main threat.
Now when someone named John Smith gets tracked by the CIA that's perfectly acceptable to the average American.
I often think the Left will do more and more harm as soon as they get around to it. Like “idle hands are the devil’s workshop.”
They will soon cut off radio licenses to stations that allow conservative talk shows. And will relentlessly punish and harass more pro-life people as has picked up this week. More doxing. More mobs at SCOTUS homes. Releases of prisoners in more cities.
One more notch down the slippery slope, but those ‘provisions’ were ignored since the day it went into effect.
Agree, fundamental constitutional rights that an EO by itself can not legally go around. There has to be supportive law for this to be even close to legal.
Wanna bet he thought he was signing next weeks pudding menu?
How and when did the Democrats become the Party of Tyranny and Suppression and Fascism??????????????
Which part of the EO allows for spying on Americans?
Well, now they can start spying on Hunter…..
The Globalist - deepstate sensing victory in Ukraine is now turning it’s attention back to the real enemy; the American people.
He is illegitimate.
Obama and Trump tried to protect our privacy to some extent, not the ahole Biden, however.
Did they every follow the rule in the first place? Rockwell sang about it in ‘84. “I don’t feel safe anymore. Oh, what a mess! I wonder who’s watching me now? The IRS?”
Stinking communist bastards continue to run roughshod over the servile & indolent Aamerican sheeple...
There are no limits to tyranny...
There is no end in sight!
So:
Bow down!... Obey!... Snitch!...
Snowden explained how US intelligence agencies easily defeated laws against domestic espionage.
Country A uses massive electronic surveillance on all communications of Country B.
Country B uses Massive electronic surveillance on all communications of Country A.
See, ma, my hands are clean in country A and B—no domestic surveillance!
Then, one click of a mouse and the data swap is done between Country A and Country B.
