Whistleblowers and Obama

I got a plan for snitches

"On the day before Thanksgiving with little or no media attention, President Obama wrote a memorandum which is an unofficial directive to the 'heads of executive departments and agencies' that addresses 'insider threats'. While the corporate media has largely ignored this memo, there has recently been much speculation in alternative media as to why Obama felt the need to address insider threats at this time," so says this article by Gregory Patin.

He further states, "Beginning with the Bush administration, there has been a rapid expansion of executive powers in government and the Obama administration has continued that trend with unprecedented bills such as the National Defense Authorization Act (S.1867) and the Federal Restricted Building and Grounds Improvement Act (HR 347). It is a legitimate concern that the insider threat memo is a directive authorizing a further expansion of executive powers.

The subject heading of the memo is “National Insider Threat Policy and Minimum Standards for Executive Branch Insider Threat Programs” meant to stifle whistleblowers. Although this is policy on the national level, "it becomes a self-policing network that has the ability to silence critics and individuals opposing a particular agenda or activity, even if such dissent is lawful…it gives Barack Hussein Obama the ability to redefine what constitutes a threat to the government, including treason," says Mr. Patin.

President Obama doesn't like whistleblowers. Watch out Andres, Howard and Larry.
