The Way The Pentagon Is Predicting Your Potential To Become A National Threat Is Frightening

Tom Cruise made "pre-crime'" a futuresque and controversial method of law enforcement in the 2002 movie Minority Report. Ten years later, the idea of preemptively identifying a criminal — particularly an inside threat — is taking shape within the U.S. Defense Department, reports Joe Gould at Army Times. Whether it's a low-ranking soldier intent on dumping secret information to WikiLeaks, or a rogue Sergeant going on a shooting rampage, insider threats can seriously plague the military and the government as a whole. Taking a novel approach, the Pentagon is spearheading research into studying the predictive behavior of personnel in the lead-up to a betrayal. From Army Times: The Army’s efforts dovetail with a broader federal government initiative. President Obama signed an executive order last October that established an Insider Threat Task Force to develop a government wide program to deter, detect and mitigate insider threats. Among other responsibilities, it would create policies for safeguarding classified information and networks, and for auditing and monitoring users. In January, the White House’s Office of Management and Budget issued a memo directing government agencies that deal with classified information to ensure they adhere to security rules enacted after the WikiLeaks debacle. Beyond technical solutions, the document asks agencies to create their own “insider threat program” to monitor employees for “behavioral changes” suggesting they might leak sensitive information. Gould points to a DARPA research solicitation for Suspected Malicious Insider Threat Elimination (SMITE) which would track employees' actions on their networked computers — in particular, seemingly insignificant "observational data of no immediate relevance" — to determine if the user's overall behavior is leading to something malicious. "Forensic-like techniques can be used to find clues, gather and evaluate evidence and combine them deductively.

In the future there will be a Dept of Pre-Crime that will send people to get their heads right in re-education camps.

What did Obama score on the test?

[massgopguy]

“Pre-crime. Someone with an R next to his name has been flagged pulling Nomination papers for City Council. Stop him.”

Hmmmm - I kind of wish they had had this in John F'in Kerry's time!!



Nos genuflectitur ad non princeps sed Princeps Pacem!

Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)

THE REAL DEAL is that like ObamaCARE and ObamaDEATH-panels,
Moslems ... are exempt.

[Truth29]

So they use Major Hasan to frame the problem?? Sure they do. They might use the Fort Hood shooter to develop a cut out to make sure that they don't identify any politically incorrect Muslims while they are looking for the white militia member they can put on the evening news.

[cripplecreek]

white militia member they can put on the evening news.

Kinda funny how the media fell silent on the Hutaree when they were all acquitted of all but two minor weapons charges that are likely to be overturned.

[PetroniusMaximus]

“...or a rogue Sergeant going on a shooting rampage...”

They can save their money. Being a Muslim is precrime.

Pray for backlash.

It is good when the government fears it’s citizens.

It is bad when the idiot citizens give the government so much power over their lives that while the government still fears some of the citizenry it doesn’t fear most of the citizentry because they are beholden to the government for basic survival.

So now you have less than 50% of the population that fears the government and a government that fears less than 50% of it’s government.

This is when government tyranny starts to assert itself.

His score is classified. Some big international money man/banker has it in his pocket as leverage. The strings need to have backing to work when you pull them. The PC mentality probably wont allow screening of preferred individuals (everyone except a white male) anyway. Trust your dear leader. Forward comrade.

This is when government tyranny starts to assert itself.

It's not tyranny when they are doing it for our own good.

[Buckeye McFrog]

To me that does not sound too different from what the intelligence agencies have been doing for decades. CIA, NSA, et. al. do extensive psychological testing during their hiring process. The military got caught with their pants down on the Bradley Manning incident.

Where were some of you back in 2002 - 2004 when the Bush administration was trying to get the "Total Information Awareness pushed through, even after Congress told him no? They wanted to track our credit card purchases, what property we bought, our travel patterns, etc.

[af_vet_rr]

Well I accidentally deleted the rest of my response, but I was going to point out that the programs in the article trace their roots back to the TIA days.

[opentalk]

It will be a world where Corzine crime is okay, he uses money and fund raisers to advance the agenda. Holder is already implementing.

[Minutemen]

The pre-emptive measures to counter an internal "national threat" should be:
To decimate all the al queda islamist sleeper-cells masquerading as "mosques".

We all know that the actual targets will be American-born white guys who are stock piling food and ammunition.
