This is a weird memo. Go to link for author's commentary, though he may have it all wrong.

Office of the Press Secretary
For Immediate Release

Presidential Memorandum -- National Insider Threat Policy and Minimum Standards for Executive Branch Insider Threat Programs

Memorandum for the heads of executive departments and agencies

Subject: National Insider Threat Policy and Minimum Standards for Executive Branch Insider Threat Programs

This Presidential Memorandum transmits the National Insider Threat Policy and Minimum Standards for Executive Branch Insider Threat Programs (Minimum Standards) to provide direction and guidance to promote the development of effective insider threat programs within departments and agencies to deter, detect, and mitigate actions by employees who may represent a threat to national security. These threats encompass potential espionage, violent acts against the Government or the Nation, and unauthorized disclosure of classified information, including the vast amounts of classified data available on interconnected United States Government computer networks and systems.

The Minimum Standards provide departments and agencies with the minimum elements necessary to establish effective insider threat programs. These elements include the capability to gather, integrate, and centrally analyze and respond to key threat-related information; monitor employee use of classified networks; provide the workforce with insider threat awareness training; and protect the civil liberties and privacy of all personnel.

The resulting insider threat capabilities will strengthen the protection of classified information across the executive branch and reinforce our defenses against both adversaries and insiders who misuse their access and endanger our national security.

Barack Obama

I don't agree with the author's commentary. He's getting rid of dissenters of the president, not AIPAC. If he was going after AIPAC, Joe Biden wouldn't be VP.

If it is from .ir that would be Iran. That may explain the viewpoint.

I was just coming to post that!

What Is Obama So Afraid Of?

I saw this memo on the official whitehouse.gov website the other day, but I was traveling and never had a chance to post it. I figured it would be too late by now, yet I am still not seeing it being widely discussed. It implies that the Obama Administration may be very worried about the truth getting out about all of their crimes, potentially via leaks from high places.
[...]
Oh and this came out the day before Thanksgiving. How cute. As someone said on twitter today, if telling the truth endangers “national security,” then we are doing national security wrong.

I question the timing. I have to wonder if the Most Transparent Administration Ever is just making sure this (http://www.theamericanconservative.com/whistle-while-you-work-congress/) won't open them up to too much scrutiny and whistle-blowing. Even though the bill doesn't cover national security issues, anything and everything can be considered a national security issue nowadays if the Imperial President says so.

I don't see the word violence in there at all.

Edit: pardon, apparently word search does not search inside quoted sections o.O I still disagree with the assertion of violence. I believe this would be more related to espionage.

It's right there in the memo:

"effective insider threat programs within departments and agencies to deter, detect, and mitigate actions by employees who may represent a threat to national security. These threats encompass potential espionage, violent acts against the Government or the Nation..."

It's presstv but since American msm outlets are ignoring this completely, someone has to report it.

My "this" link was the wrong one. I fixed it above and am adding it again here:

Whistle While You Work, Congress

Perhaps the signing yesterday of the Whistleblower Protection Enhancement Act (WPEA) is a sign of good things to come for our quarreling Congress. Or, if not, perhaps we should let them know we expect it to be.

This is even better than the death from above rule book. You want to know how Bam feels about whistleblowers? Ask Thomas Drake, Glennzilla or Coleen Rowley.

Whistleblower Protection Enhancement Act- more brilliance from WH HQ Branding Central.

How can you enhance a total lack of legal protection for those that would risk everything to do the right thing? Has about the same total lack of meaning as "Jobs Act."

Bummer hates those that don't go along to get along because he perceives that as a rejection of the formula that produced his exceptionally american excellence.
