Yes, rest assured EPU, I have my eye on you.

Well they do seem to give those security clearances out like candy at Halloween, then allow people who don’t need them to keep them for life. Seems kinda’ counter-security to me.

[rktman]

Whenever I had clearances, once the need was gone the yanked them real fast and to get renewed had to go through the process again. Guess I ain’t as special as I thought eh? LOL!

Bkmk

[sauropod]

Uh-huh. And who, exactly, are you?

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Yes, rest assured EPU, I have my eye on you.

What a malevolent weirdo.

[Bullish]

Thanks, I was kinda’ wondering about that. Wondering why some of the bigshots get to keep them indefinitely.

[rktman]

They is ultra importanter than I was. They day I retired, poof. Clearances voided. If I had to go back I needed an escort. The assclowns in d.c. sport their clearances like a janitor with the most keys.

Shellenberger does decent job

But Benz and Whitney Webb a lib are best

And some other deep divers

It’s a tar pit

[Bullish]

They day I retired, poof. Clearances voided.

Seems to me that's the way it should be handled for almost everyone. I know they want to keep some of the people in the information loop and up to date, but that also seems kind of risky.

[rfreedom4u]

Simply having a clearance does NOT give a person access to anything if that security level. There must also be a “need to know.”

[Fido969]

Guesswork and unnamed sources for clicks.

[Bookshelf]

I’m me. By the way, the Sauropod went out of existence given its limited intelligence.

[sauropod]

An arrogant you. You are cordially invited to take a long walk off a short pier. Ta ta.

[Fledermaus]

Troll

[Fledermaus]

Him, not you

[Bookshelf]

The Bell Curve never lies.

[sauropod]

It certainly doesn’t. Neither does Dunning-Kreuger.

How’s Mount Stupid?

[Bookshelf]

You should know. You certainly should know as you drop the curve a few points every time you post.
