U.S. Military Bans The Intercept
By Ryan Gallagher 20 Aug 2014, 10:46 AM EDT


The U.S. military is banning and blocking employees from visiting The Intercept in an apparent effort to censor news reports that contain leaked government secrets.

According to multiple military sources, a notice has been circulated to units within the Army, Navy, Air Force, and Marine Corps warning staff that they are prohibited from reading stories published by The Intercept on the grounds that they may contain classified information. The ban appears to apply to all employees—including those with top-secret security clearance—and is aimed at preventing classified information from being viewed on unclassified computer networks, even if it is freely available on the internet. Similar military-wide bans have been directed against news outlets in the past after leaks of classified information.

Logic on a bureaucrat could love.

The "POLITICAL OFFICERS" at the Pentagon and Marxists on Capital Hill are doing their best at censoring the truth to the military. It appears the Washington DC Bolshevik leaders are refreshing the U.S.S.R. Marxist policies.

To understand why... never forget this statement in history by an international war criminal wanted for crimes against humanity,

Most people don't read the intercept, but rather satisfy there info diet from the 40 or so major papers that chew, spin and regurgitate the info every time the intercept publishes something.

Maybe they should have closed the barn door before the horses got out...

Truly "military intelligence" at it's best - BRILLIANT!
