President's 'rat out your co-worker' plan, unlikely to work experts say


 
ugh. this makes my gorge rise.

In an initiative aimed at rooting out future leakers and other security violators, President Barack Obama has ordered federal employees to report suspicious actions of their colleagues based on behavioral profiling techniques that are not scientifically proven to work, according to experts and government documents.

The techniques are a key pillar of the Insider Threat Program, an unprecedented government-wide crackdown under which millions of federal bureaucrats and contractors must watch out for “high-risk persons or behaviors” among co-workers. Those who fail to report them could face penalties, including criminal charges.

Obama mandated the program in an October 2011 executive order after Army Pfc. Bradley Manning downloaded hundreds of thousands of documents from a classified computer network and gave them to WikiLeaks, the anti-government secrecy group. The order covers virtually every federal department and agency, including the Peace Corps, the Department of Education and others not directly involved in national security.

Under the program, which is being implemented with little public attention, security investigations can be launched when government employees showing “indicators of insider threat behavior” are reported by co-workers, according to previously undisclosed administration documents obtained by McClatchy. Investigations also can be triggered when “suspicious user behavior” is detected by computer network monitoring and reported to “insider threat personnel.”

16. Truly prophetic. All Orwell got wrong was the year.

Sure we don't have screens in our homes with watching eyes. The government is more insidious than that. Instead they gaze at our homes with infrared and satellites and 'listen' to our communications with electronic monitoring.

They sound like racist tea baggers now, comparing 0bama to soemone from an Orwell novel.  :-)

12. I'll refrain from characterizing President Obama, but yes, we're seeing insanity at work

It makes me so damn sad- among other things.

Of course you will refrain from talking bad about the preezy.

This is the government that you DUmmies wanted, so sit down shut up and enjoy sleeping in the bed you made.

Wanna bet?  How about the XBOX Kinect or the cameras on your computer(s)?  Think they can't watch you through those things?

Microsoft’s Kinect is based off of motion detection, cameras, and microphones able to detect multiple people in various parts of the room all at once along with their body motion. Now you’re trying to tell me that if I leave my XBox on, Microsoft “may” automatically upload information it obtains from Kinect at any time without my knowledge? What exactly does that mean? If my Kinect is in the bedroom and I leave it on by accident, am I or anyone in my room going to end up on Microsoft’s Funniest Home Videos? As much as I’d love for this to be a real joke, it’s not, it’s a potential Big Brother inside your house watching and listening to you live your private life.

HOUSTON (KTRK) -- We have a warning for anyone who has a computer with a camera: Someone could be watching you.

<<snip>>

 "You don't even have to look for it as a special feature anymore. It just comes with the computer," CNET tech expert Dan Ackerman said.

"With the web cam comes the opportunity for people to use malicious software to control that web cam," said Justin Vellese with the FBI.

You heard right. Control your web cam. Let's back up for a second and think about where your laptop is used -- maybe in your hotel room on vacation, or in bed while you work at night?

<<snip>>

Now, imagine someone tapping into that web camera to watch you. With the light off, you have no idea someone is watching. It's happening everywhere. All over the world. And it's a crime that is growing, according to the FBI.

<<snip>>

A quick search on google will reveal all kinds of information for criminals looking to hack a web cam. And not just the one in your computer, but any web cam. From security cameras to daycare cams, YouTube videos give them a step-by-step how to.

<<snip>>

0bama is also going to increase our chocolate ration from 30 grams to 25. 

Totalitarians can't help being totalitarians and contrary to popular, but misinformed, DUmmy belief they are all on the left.

OAN, can you imagine the shit storm if Romney had been elected and he decided not to implement certain aspects of the cACA bill like 0 is doing? Particularly if he bowed down to pressure from big business.

A little experiment. Google Image search "DailyKos Bush":









Now, looking for the same thing but use Obama in the search and looking for "offensive" content, like the above:







Hummm, kinda hard to find.............even though, DUmmies, he's ACTUALLY doing what you assholes accused Bush of.


So, who's the "fascist"?

I wonder if Google can access webcams and microphones on computers at will. They have a search by voice feature.

Since anyone can do it I'm sure Google can.  Look;

And;

Yahoo! search for hacking webcams

It doesn't seem to be too hard.

I know several people who keep a piece of tape on their camera lens.  Some of them use scotch tape and a couple use electrical tape.

Hell, even a couple of schools have been caught turning the cameras on, on the laptops the schools have handed out.

The Gestapo and NVDK would be jealous to have a man like 0bama instead of Hitler and Stalin at the top.

Just remember DUchebags we were against those 0bama web sites to turn in your neighbors for telling the truth or attacking Dear Leader. I'm not going to put anything past 0bama because he has exceeded my worst expectations. There could be suspension of elections and martial (marshall for the Duche lurkers) law.
