State Secrets Privilege Used During Obama Administration
The state secrets privilege is an evidentiary rule created by United States legal precedent. Application of the privilege results in exclusion of evidence from a legal case based solely on affidavits submitted by the government stating that court proceedings might disclose sensitive information which might endanger national security. United States v. Reynolds, which involved military secrets, was the first case that saw formal recognition of the privilege. You can read the full background and history of this ‘rule’ on wikipedia if you would like a more comprehensive understanding of it. The Obama administration’s use of this rule was rather interesting when taking into consideration all of their actions promoting transparency to earn the trust of the public. Barack Obama set the stage on the first of the year in 2009 with an executive memorandum about Transparency and Open Government. Later that year, on September 23, 2009, Attorney General Eric Holder established NEW state secrets and policies procedures to rebuild the…

CIA Coined and Weaponized The Label “Conspiracy Theory”
Ever been called a “conspiracy theorist”? Ever wonder where that term came from? In 1976 the New York Times obtained a document they requested via the Freedom of Information Act. This document was a C.I.A. Dispatch labeled “psych” for “psychological operations” that was distributed in 1967, indicating they coined the phrase “conspiracy theory” and “conspiracy theorists” to attack anyone who challenged the official narrative from the Warren Commission. It also has a CS indicated on it, which stands for “clandestine services” unit. These labels have continued ever since they coined the phrase in the 1960’s, with the intention of stifling any truths from getting out. Pay close attention to those using the labels and the information they are referring to. This will be your first clue that truth lies within and they are trying to deflect it. The bottom line is there are hundreds if not thousands of conspiracies taking…
Julian Assange’s Christmas Present
What do Julian Assange, Wikileaks, Donald J. Trump, Hillary Clinton, NARA, and the Obama Presidential Center have in common? Shall we connect a few digs? Let’s begin with the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA). NARA is the nation’s record keeper. The National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) is an independent agency of the United States government charged with preserving and documenting government and historical records and with increasing public access to those documents, which comprise the National Archives. NARA is officially responsible for maintaining and publishing the legally authentic and authoritative copies of acts of Congress, presidential proclamations and executive orders, and federal regulations. The NARA also transmits votes of the Electoral College to Congress. What makes Barack Obama’s Presidential Center unique from all other Presidential Libraries? Quite a bit, but most importantly, the Center will not be part of the presidential library network operated by NARA, and they…
