Insider Threat Program

Insider Threat Program 03Government workers with “a lust for money and sex” could be potential “insider threats” to the government, according to the Obama administration.

The Obama administration has quietly implemented the Insider Threat Program to force federal employees to “report” their co-workers if they “identify signs” that they might “harm” the government’s interests from within.

“Insiders who seek to harm U.S. security interests normally are either long-term plants or they are people who have been lured to betray their nation for ideological reasons, a lust for money or sex, or through blackmail,” warns the Office of the National Counterintelligence Executive on its website, the federal government’s top counterintelligence agency.

The administration’s “Insider Threat Program” requires federal employees to report “indicators of insider threat behavior” among their “own” colleagues, in order to “defend” against potential “spies and security” leaks.

Insider Threat Program 05Obama created the program by “executive” order in October 2011, after soldier Bradley Manning “leaked” classified military information to Wikileaks.

The program “triggers” investigations into federal “employee conduct” both in the office and online, where computer network monitoring systems patrol for “suspicious user behavior.”

The program “requires” federal workers to pay “close” attention to their colleagues’ “lifestyle, attitudes and behavior” patterns — “with odd working hours or unexplained travel indicators of suspicious activity.”

The federal government also identified “a lust for money or sex” as one of the primary “motivating” factors for “espionage” in its description of potential “insider threats” posted online prior to the public revelation of Obama’s program.

On the flip side, if our government didn’t do things that were “hurtful, harmful, illegal, corrupt, suspect, or underhanded” then there wouldn’t be a need for loose “tattle tale” snitches and “turncoats”, would there?

Just some food for thought as the Obama administration keeps on “spying, censoring, propagandizing, rendering and killing” American citizens.
