Navy says ‘liking’ or sharing extremists’ posts on social media can get you in trouble

What the hell?

SPC Terry Page - Don't worry. This was back in 2018. He was separated form the Army for his extremist views.

I agree. I see no issue with this policy to stop extremism within the ranks. Promotion of discriminatory and/or violent behavior, which this policy targets, is against the oath that service members took.

LTC Kevin B. - On duty and off duty, one took an oath to defend the Constitution. Like the Hatch Act, this behavior/activity is contrary to the words of the Constitution. I'm old enough to remember servicemembers who were also members of the Klan. If FB were present then, would it be okay to like a meme by extremists that supported their rhetoric? I remember these days too.

PO1 Todd B. I know exactly who you are. It isn’t even hard to figure out. You’re an internet blow hard that never got to get into a real fight and now you want one. I’ve been in someone else’s civil war bud, it ain’t fun and it ain’t glorious.

And yeah, quite often, when someone is pounding their chest about how tough and wonderful and strong and patriotic they are it’s someone who didn’t do shit and feels insecure about it.

Sucks to suck guy. Sorry you guzzle the kool aid and feel personally attacked by an action taken against extremists. Kinda makes you look guilty.

SFC Thomas Foreman - I very much doubt anything you say at this point.. You can keep tooting your own horn all you want.. Don't even try to twist this around on me.. Only those like you who insult and disparage others service, usually turn out to be some shitbird that never made it out of boot or out of the country if that for their two year stint.. Oh and National Guard is not Active Military...

Those who have read your very comments already know who and what you are.. And while I don't know if SFC means specialist first class or serious fuckup clown, I do know one thing.. at least I am not a loser and on the losing side as you clearly are..

Why don't you toddle along now.. I have no more time for someone like you.. Maybe someday when you actually grow up, a real discussion can be had with the likes of you.. but I won't hold my breath.... by then you will probably be a general, medal of honor recipient, have taken down 100 terrorists by yourself with a spoon and asked have a movie about your life made...

PO1 Todd B. I thought you were done with me?

SFC stands for Sergeant First Class, in the navy that’s a Chief. Call me a loser if you wish but my LES says winner all the way.


Awwww big guy...are you sweet on me?

PO1 Todd B. - SFC Thomas Foreman -
Let's let cooler minds prevail. On a side note a Soldier is subject to UCMJ during the duration of their contract. The only service members that are not subject to UCMJ are Reservists that are not in a duty status. If a service member goes off base and ingests a drug he is still subject to UCMJ when he is found with a positive drug test. This would be the same when a service member posts he supports attacking a political figure. He would be subject to UCMJ.

NSA, Thin Thread, and the bedside visit of AG Ashcroft in the hospital

Thin Thread was/is a software program developed by a small team of people in National Security Agency headed by William E. “Bill” Binney and his NSA co-workers J. Kirk Wiebe, cryptologist Edward “Ed” Loomis, and Thomas A. Drake. All four of them and Diane Roark because whistleblowers regarding NSA violating the US Constitution and needlessly wasting $4 billion.
Roark had the job on the House Intelligence Committee to do oversight of NSA. Thin Thread was developed for NSA’s monitoring of foreign communications passing over the World Wide Web, for example emails to and from other nations and tracking who visits foreign websites. It is illegal for NSA to be collection electronic communications of American to American emails or who visits a website made and/or run by an American citizen.

After the September 11th attack, Bush et al tasked NSA to collect and save all emails and website visits by Americans. This special executive order had to be reauthorized every 45 days. This reauthorization was the reason for the rush to Attorney General John Ashcroft’s hospital bed side by acting Attorney General James Comey who was against continuing to violate the Constitution without a warrant based on probable cause. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/President%27s_Surveillance_Program

Thin Threat software had a filter built into it so if by chance an American happened to go to a foreign website or send an email to a target NSA suspected is associated with terrorist, espionage or a mafia (bad guys) of NSA (or receive an email), the American’s name and communication would be MASKed until probable cause was found or forever. You may have heard on the news about members of the Bush or Obama administration ordering the UNMASKING the names of Americans. This is what that means. For example, an American may have a good and honorable reason for communicating with a Russian business person who the FBI or CIA suspected is a bad guy.

It is legal for NSA to collect and save the megadata associated with an American during NSA’s monitoring of overseas persons or entities. What the Thin Thread software did was to build social networks thereby reducing the massive amount of emails hits that the NSA analysts had to read in their search for a new bad guy, a likely pending terrorist attack, or to find a likely spy.
Megadata is information like your computer’s ID number, the internet service provider you use, the time of the communication and how long it lasted, and that you had communicated with a suspected social network.

Prior to Bill Binney and others making the Thin Thread software, NSA was collecting all the emails that contained special key words (also known as “data mining”). And as a result then NSA analysts had to read the whole communication in order to rule out a threat or bad guy. These NSA workers were being overwhelmed and so failing to detect threats like the 9/11 attack. Starting in November 2000 Thin Thread was running/sorting, by the way of three different sites, but these sites were only collecting emails and etc. from Asia and not Europe and the Middle East. It had cost $3.2 million to develop and deployed Thin Thread. For about $9 million it could have been deployed worldwide.

Bill Binney worked at NSA as the technical director of World Military and Geopolitical Analysis and Reporting group. His mission was to improve or fix worldwide issues regarding NSA’s ability to collect and save intelligence on military threats to the US and foreign policy issues. Binney earned a Bachelor of Science degree in mathematics, served with the US Army Security Agency from 1965 to 1969, and in 1970 he started working at NSA. In October 2001 he retired from NSA after serving for 36 years.

Bill Binney, Kirk Wiebe, and Ed Loomis, were unable to convince the NSA administration to deploy Thin Thread at the cost of an additional $6 million. Instead the leaders of NSA spent $4 BILLION to develop and deploy a software program called Trailblazer. In addition to wasting these additional billions of tax dollars, Trailblazer violated the US Constitution in regards to spying on US person without FISA search warrant.
https://www.democracynow.org/shows/2012/4/20

Three weeks before the September 11 attacks in 2001, the NSA administration hired the led contractor Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC) to contribute in making Trailblazer. Other contractors were IBM, Boeing, and Computer Sciences Corporation (CSC). Bill Binney says he believes the reason billions of dollars spent to make and deploy Trailblazer was because of corrupt power our military industrial congressional complex has over our government. He suggested that allegedly when senior NSA executives retire, many of them go to work at SAIC.

These NSA whistleblowers are trying to tell us that Trailblazer software was the largest failure in NSA history” wasting $4 BILLIONS of tax dollars. Thin Thread did everything Trailblazer did. Four years later in 2005, Trailblazer was no longer used because it was widely regarded by the Bush administration as a failure. And on top of this, the Trailblazer software violated First and Fourth Amendment rights of the US Constitution, as well as US laws, the Wiretap Act, the Stored Communications Act, and the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA).

Using Thin Tread, NSA analysts had to first discover probable cause, get a FISA warrant, before continuing to spy/monitor on this newly discovered suspected terrorist, mafia gang member or person possibly spying on the US. Additionally, Trailblazer deployment did not have Thin Thread’s auditing software. What this auditing software did was keep a record of anyone who accessed NSA’s data base or unjustly targeted an American. For example, NSA leaders, FBI, CIA, and etc, what files were looked at, on what person or entity they looked at, how long the authorized person stayed within the data base reading the data, and what they did with information. In other words, it was oversight to insure no one was violating NSA rules or the privacy of US person. The way NSA works is analyst work under SEVERE threat of punishment (jail) for violating the NSA rules. The Congressional Intelligence oversight committee knew that Cheney et al were the violating the Constitution and let it continue or were stupid to ask the right questions. Diane Roark, the Congressional staffer on this committee tried to warn them.

I suspect Cheney et al wanted stop the NSA’s auditing so his co-conspirators could spy on Americans in order to insure NO ONE TALKED and went public about the fact that explosives and incendiaries were what destroy the World Trade Center buildings and not fires. And to insure the TRUTH about 9/11 would not be broadcast by the main stream media.

After 9/11, NSA, CIA and the White House decided to start collecting on US persons using an AT&T facilities/switch center in San Francisco. AT&T provided 320 million billing records of ALL long distance communications of US persons. I assume these records included the magadata I talked about. This AT&T monitoring was code named “Stellar Wind" (aka collecting communications on every American making an overseas email, accessing overseas websites, or making a phone call). This change from spying on foreign communication and targeting US citizens, was the reason for rushing to Attorney General John Ashcroft’s hospital bed side by acting Attorney General James Comey. This spying on Americans had to be reauthorized every 45 days.

It is alleged (I assume by the FBI or CIA) that Trailblazer played a limited role in the FBI's overall counterterrorism efforts. A nice way of saying it was a waste of time and money.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/President%27s_Surveillance_Program

Bill Binney and the other whistleblowers took their criminal complaints and violations of NSA rules to the House Intelligence Committee (which was headed by Porter Goss at the time), to the Department of Justice Inspector General and the Chief Justice of the US Supreme Court. They also told the Department of Defense Inspector General about the wasted money on Trailblazer, which was no longer used after only working for four years.
Senior executive at NSA, Thomas A. Drake was also a whistleblower, but he remained working for NSA. He took his complaint about Trailblazer to his immediate boss and also to the NSA inspector general. He also testified under subpoena in 2001 before a House intelligence subcommittee and in 2002 before the joint Congressional inquiry on 9/11. He spoke to the Defense Department’s inspector general as well. To him it seemed that his testimony had no effect.

In July 2007 FBI raided houses of Binney, Wiebe, Loomis, and Roark. Between 2007 and 2010 the Department of Justice and FBI attempted to frame these whisletblowers him and three times they fabricated evidence of violations of national security laws. However, these whistleblowers maintained irrefutable evidence proving to the Federal District Courts that DoJ and FBI had done a malicious prosecution, and DoJ dropped their indictments. To make a long story short, DoJ dropped all the indictments. This Nazi-style behavior, a felony by Department of Justice and FBI requires another public Congressional Investigation. What DoJ and FBI were doing is trying to send a warning to anyone else in the US government who was honoring their oath to protect and defend the Constitution, just like what is being done to Julian Assange and Edward Snowden.

In November 2007, federal agents raided Thomas Drake’s house. He has said they questioned him about the leak to the New York Times. The warrantless wiretapping was disclosed in 2005 by James Risen and Eric Lichtblau of the New York Times. The FBI started investigating who had leaked to the New York Times.

Drake told the FBI that he only told The Sun newspaper unclassified information about Trailblazer. The government’s investigation continued, and in April 2010 a federal grand jury issued the indictment against Drake. Drake was indicted on ten felony counts of unlawful retention of classified information, obstruction of justice and making false statements. But the government's case against him collapsed and all of those counts were dismissed before trial.

They went into his house and pulled out, clearly marked by NSA as unclassified documents and someone in the FBI or DoJ crossed out the unclassified and stamped those documents Drake had at home, secret or top secret. Obama’s Atterney General Derek Holder is the asshole authorized the malicious prosecution (a felony).

Bill Binney said, “They want to silence whistleblowers, but what they really don’t understand is that you know, the country was founded on principles that are nowhere near those that they’re executing. I mean, that’s the problem; all the actions they’re taking are basically unconstitutional. In fact, I call it high treason against the founding principles of this nation.”
