Judge Demands Documents on FBI Computer Spy SystemFBI runs Trojan horse
"The discovery comes only weeks after the Bureau made a motion to suppress evidence about the use of similar technology in the recent US versus Nicodemo Scarfo case. The FBI claimed that releasing information about the technology would jeopardise current as well as future investigations."
FBI wants to keep technology secret
"The FBI is trying to keep secret technical details of a keystroke-logging program it used to catch a Mob loan shark. A mandate from a New Jersey judge calling for a report "detailing how the key logger device functions", by 31 August, has been claimed by the US government to be so sensitive that if revealed, "national security" could be at risk.
The FBI is now seeking to invoke the Classified Information Procedures Act (CIPA), so that details are not supplied." CIPA
Govt. Invokes National Security Law In Mob Hacking Case
FBI keeps its bugging secrets
When invoked, CIPA permits federal prosecutors to take extraordinary steps to protect classified information, including barring observers from the courtroom, withholding documents from the defense attorneys and moving the trial to "the facilities of another United States government agency" if the courthouse is not secure enough.

EXECUTIVE EO 13083
ORDER Effective Date May 14, 1998
_______________________________________________________________________
Responsible Office: Z\ Office of Policy and Plans
Subject: Federalism
By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, and in order to guarantee the division of governmental responsibilities, embodied in the Constitution, between the Federal Government and the States that was intended by the Framers and application of those principles by the Executive departments and agencies in the formulation and implementation of policies, it is hereby ordered as follows:
Section 1. Definitions. For purposes of this order:
(a) ìStateî or ìStatesî refer to the States of the United States of America, individually or
collectively, and, where relevant, to State governments, including units of local government and other political subdivisions established by the States.
(b) ìPolicies that have federalism implicationsî refers to Federal regulations, proposed
legislation, and other policy statements or actions that have substantial, direct effects on the States or on the relationship, or the distribution of power and responsibilities, between the Federal Government and the States.
(c) ìAgencyî means any authority of the United States that is an ìagencyî under 44 U.S.C.
3502(l), other than those considered to be independent regulatory agencies, as defined in 44
U.S.C. 3502(5).
Sec. 2. Fundamental Federalism Participles In formulating and implementing policies that have federalism implications, agencies shall be guided by the following fundamental federalism principles:
(a) The structure of government established by the Constitution is premised upon a system
of checks and balances.
(b) The Constitution created a Federal Government of supreme, but limited, powers. The
sovereign powers not granted to the Federal Government are reserved to the people or to the
States, unless prohibited to the States by the Constitution.
(c) Federalism reflects the principle that dividing power between the Federal Government
and the States serves to protect individual liberty. Preserving State authority provides an essential balance to the power of the Federal Government, while preserving the supremacy of Federal law provides an essential balance to the power of the States.
(d) The people of the States are at liberty, subject only to the limitations in the Constitution
itself or in Federal law, to define the moral, political, and legal character of their lives.
(e) Our constitutional system encourages a healthy diversity in the public policies adopted
by the people of the several States according to their own conditions, needs, and desires. States and local governments are often uniquely situated to discern the sentiments of the people and to govern accordingly.
(f) Effective public policy is often achieved when there is competition among the several
States in the fashioning of different approaches to public policy issues. The search for enlightened public policy is often furthered when individual States and local governments are free to experiment with a variety of approaches to public issues. Uniform, national approaches to public policy problems can inhibit the creation of effective solutions to those problems.
(g) Policies of the Federal Government should recognize the responsibility of-and should
encourage opportunities for-States, local governments, private associations, neighborhoods,
families, and individuals to achieve personal, social, environmental, and economic objectives
through cooperative effort.
Sec. 3. Federalism Policymaking Criteria. In addition to adhering to the fundamental federalism principles set forth in section 2 of this order, agencies shall adhere, to the extent permitted by law, to the following criteria when formulating and implementing policies that have federalism implications:
(a) There should be strict adherence to constitutional principles. Agencies should closely
examine the constitutional and statutory authority supporting any Federal action that would limit
the policymaking discretion of States and local governments, and should carefully assess the
necessity for such action.
(b) Agencies may limit the policymaking discretion of States and local governments only
after determining that there is constitutional and legal authority for the action.
(c) With respect to Federal statutes and regulations administered by States and local
governments, the Federal Government should grant States and local governments the maximum administrative discretion Possible. Any Federal oversight of such State and local administration should not unnecessarily intrude on State and local discretion.
(d) It is important to recognize the distinction between matters of national or multi-state
scope (which may justify Federal action) and matters that are merely common to the States (which may not justify Federal action because individual States, acting individually or together, may effectively deal with them). Matters of national or multi-state scope that justify Federal action may arise in a variety of circumstances, including.
(1) When the matter to be addressed by Federal action occurs interstate as opposed to being contained within one Stateís boundaries.
(2) When the source of the matter to be addressed occurs in a State different from the State (or States) where a significant amount of the harm occurs.
(3) When there is a need for uniform national standards.
(4) When decentralization increases the costs of government thus imposing additional
burdens on the taxpayer.
(5) When States have not adequately protected individual rights and liberties.
(6) When States would be reluctant to impose necessary regulations because of fears that
regulated business activity will relocate to other States.
(7) When placing regulatory authority at the State or local level would undermine regulatory
goals because high costs or demands for specialized expertise will effectively place the regulatory matter beyond the resources of State authorities.
(8) When the matter relates to Federally owned or managed property or natural resources,
trust obligations, or international obligations.
(9) When the matter to be regulated significantly or uniquely affects Indian tribal
governments.
Sec. 4. Consultation. (a) Each agency shall have an effective process to permit elected officials and other representatives of State and local governments to provide meaningful and timely input in the development of regulatory policies that have federalism implications.
(b) To the extent practicable and permitted by law, no agency shall promulgate any
regulation that is not required by statute, that has federalism implications, and that imposes
substantial direct compliance costs on States and local governments, unless:
(1) funds necessary to pay the direct costs incurred by the State or local government in
complying with the regulation are provided by the Federal Government; or
(2) the agency, prior to the formal promulgation of the regulation,
(A) in a separately identified portion of the preamble to the regulation as it is to be issued in
the Federal Register, provides to the Director of the Office of Management and Budget a
description of the extent of the agencyís prior consultation with representatives of affected States and local governments, a summary of the nature of their concerns, and the agencyís position supporting the need to issue the regulation; and
(B) makes available to the Director of the Office of Management and Budget any written
communications submitted to the agency by States or local governments.
Sec. 5. Increasing Flexibility for State and Local Waivers. (a) Agencies shall review the
processes under which States and local governments apply for waivers of statutory and regulatory requirements and take appropriate steps to streamline those processes.
(b) Each agency shall, to the extent practicable and permitted by law, consider any
application by a State or local government for a waiver of statutory or regulatory requirements in connection with any program administered by that agency with a general view toward increasing opportunities for utilizing flexible policy approaches at the State or local level in cases in which the proposed waiver is consistent with applicable Federal policy objectives and is otherwise appropriate.
(c) Each agency shall, to the extent practicable and permitted by law, render a decision upon a complete application for a waiver within 120 days of receipt of such application by the agency. If the application for a waiver is not granted, the agency shall provide the applicant with timely written notice of the decision and the reasons therefor.
(d) This section applies only to statutory or regulatory requirements that are discretionary
and subject to waiver by the agency.
Sec. 6. Independent Agencies. Independent regulatory agencies are encouraged to comply with the provisions of this order.
Sec. 7. General Provisions. (a) This order is intended only to improve the internal management of the executive branch and is not intended to, and does not, create any right or benefit, substantive or procedural, enforceable at law or equity by a party against the United States, its agencies or instrumentalities, its officers or employees, or any other person.
(b) This order shall supplement but not supersede the requirements contained in Executive
Order 12866 (ìRegulatory Planning and Reviewî), Executive Order 12988 (ìCivil justice
Reformî), and OMB Circular A-19.
(c) Executive Order 12612 of October 26, 1987, and Executive Order 12875 of October 26,
1993, are revoked.
(d) The consultation and waiver provisions in sections 4 and 5 of this order shall
complement the Executive order entitled, ìConsultation and Coordination with Indian Tribal
Governments,î being issued on this day.
(e) This order shall be effective 90 days after the date of this order.

"We are the only ones who know what is good for the country, and we are the only ones who can do anything about it."
FBI Special Agent Joseph G. Deegan in 1977 - Source
Notice also, that the FBI is too stupid to know that this is a CONSTITUTIONAL REPUBLIC, not a Democracy. Actually, we both know that's not true. They are highly skilled, and "purposely" destroying the CONSTITUTIONAL REPUBLIC, helping to facilitate a DEMOCRACY(mob rule), to usher in the One World Government to kill, steal and destroy. Isn't it enlightening knowing that there are mobs of people on this site that have never been happier thinking that "things" have never been better? LOL! Wait until the boot catches up with them. They think they'll have to be doing something wrong to feel the boot. LOL!
They Know Not What They Do
"In a democracy in general, we can't have the police everywhere," said Michael Vatis, director of the FBI's National Infrastructure Protection Center, which guards against computer attacks by terrorists, foreign agents and teen hackers."
Republics and Democracies
"A Republic, If You Can Keep It"
"to provide a cure for the evils under which the United States labored; that in tracing these evils to their origin every man had found it in the turbulence and trials of democracy...."
Edmund Randolph - May 31, 1787
"The evils we experience flow from the excess of democracy. The people do not want [that is, do not lack] virtue; but are the dupes of pretended patriots."
Elbridge Gerry - 1787
"It had been observed that a pure democracy if it were practicable would be the most perfect government. Experience had proved that no position is more false than this. The ancient democracies in which the people themselves deliberated never possessed one good feature of government. Their very character was tyranny; their figure deformity."
Alexander Hamilton - June 21, 1788
"We are a Republican Government. Real liberty is never found in despotism or in the extremes of Democracy."
Alexander Hamilton
"Remember, Democracy never lasts long. It soon wastes, exhausts and murders itself! There never was a democracy that ‘did not commit suicide.’"
Samuel Adams
"… democracies have ever been spectacles of turbulence and contention; have ever been found incompatible with personal security, or the rights of property; and have in general been as short in their lives as they have been violent in their deaths."
James Madison
Madison and Hamilton and Jay and their compatriots of the convention prepared and adopted a constitution in which they nowhere even mentioned the word democracy, not because they were not familiar with such a form of government, but because they were. The word democracy had not occurred in the Declaration of Independence, and does not appear in the constitution of a single one of our fifty states — which constitutions are derived mainly from the thinking of the Founding Fathers of the Republic — for the same reason. They knew all about democracies, and if they had wanted one for themselves and their posterity, they would have founded one.
15 percent on the right are so glued into their ideology that rational thought is impossible. These are the people who will make any excuse to avoid seeing Bill Clinton for the corrupting presence that he is, and these are the people who will support George W. Bush no matter what he does
Man, that Putin looks evil.
