Obama’s final booby trap

In the final days of the Obama presidency — while Americans were focused on inaugurating a new president and turning the page on a divisive era — President Barack Obama signed a quiet but sweeping executive order that many now see as a ticking time bomb planted in the heart of our Intelligence Community.

On January 3, 2017, just 17 days before Donald Trump’s inauguration, Obama signed a modification to Executive Order 12333, authorizing the National Security Agency (NSA) to share raw signals intelligence (SIGINT) with all 16 other intelligence agencies — including the FBI, the CIA, and even obscure agencies like the Drug Enforcement Administration’s intel wing.

At face value, the stated purpose was to “streamline intelligence sharing” and “improve coordination” in the age of global terrorism. But conservatives saw something else: a calculated move to weaponize the intelligence apparatus against a political outsider — Donald J. Trump — before he could even take the oath of office.

From Terrorism to Trump? The Convenient Shift

Prior to this change, the NSA — which vacuumed up massive amounts of phone calls, emails, texts, and metadata — could share only filtered, “minimized” intelligence with other agencies. That meant masking the names of American citizens incidentally caught up in foreign surveillance.

But Obama’s executive order reversed that policy, allowing raw, unredacted data — including conversations of U.S. citizens — to be freely distributed across the Intelligence Community. In short, the firewalls were gone. The surveillance spigot was opened.

Why now? Why not during his eight years in office?

These are the questions conservatives have been asking ever since.

A Leak Pipeline Disguised as Reform

Within weeks of the order, classified leaks about members of Trump’s incoming administration began flowing.

The most prominent example? Lt. General Michael Flynn.

Considering that Soros was/is Obama’s main backer... that means that Soros really ‘started it all’. Which figures.

Obama stuffed loyalists in to every institution in the nation with his general orders. It will take generations to u do what he did to this nation. And after a Biden it seems like it will be impossible to repair the damage those two demons did.

Without the NSA's technology and amassed information on citizen communications the FBI would never have tracked down and scooped up all those J-6 protesters so quickly and efficiently.

That Executive Order and most of the Patriot Act needs to be rescinded. We have more than enough real foreign enemy plants roaming free to occupy our intelligence services' time and efforts.

Look at Barack Hussein Obama as a Muslim Foreign Agent seeking to destroy America from within and then everything he did, didn't do, dragged his feet on, ALL makes complete sense




All According to SATAN'S Plan

DEMOCRAT Barack Hussein Obama's Rainbow White House HAPPENED ON FRIDAY, JUNE 26, 2015 - turning the White House into a Godless Reprobate Abomination



DO NO HARM, Christians, but REJECT this
Godless Reprobate Agenda. WALK AWAY.

***But conservatives saw a calculated Obama move to “weaponize” the intelligence apparatus against Donald J. Trump — before he could even take the oath of office***

Yes... I have always wondered about that move at that time. It almost has to have to do with his - and Hildy's - plan to undermine the Trump Admin! I don't have any depth of understanding about the normal daily relationship between all of our intel organs.

Jamie Gorelick had closed off much coordination between the various USGvt intel arms prior to the 9/11 attack on the World Trade Center and Pentagon in 2001 - for obscure reasons of her own. Whether that had been modified or overturned in the interim to 2017 PDJT assuming office I do not know.

Sharing NSA SIGINT is a specialized area not well understood by we 'uninitiated' - Lone Palm ? - but Obama's action in early 2017 raises plenty of curiosity. 🤔
