Even if foreigners follow the US AP like a donkey following a carrot stick, that does not force US agencies to continue using the propaganda line.

Doesn’t that e-mail strike you as the ‘old girls’ club?

Now they have had as much time to “scrub” their archives as Saddam Hussein had to ship his WMD to Syria, but hey.

All she needed to do was make sure that fellow travelers were working in the right positions, increase their audit quota, and then if they start auditing liberal organizations, you give them a stern look and tell them that you don’t think “that’s necessary at this time”.

You never need to directly tell them anything, and such an approach is nearly foolproof, since your actions can be seen as doing your job, while your inferiors were the ones who actually did the wrong.

Thanks for the laugh!

Now, it would be funny if they called it that; except we know that Obama, himself, calls them by that somewhat derogatory term – tea baggers.

It also adds to the liberal bias of the US news media in that they never referred to the IRS targeting of Tea Party groups as “TeaGate” or some such term using Gate. I guess they only reserve “ . . . Gate” for Republicans.

The encryption is generally some high 128 bit generated using a few methods or a one time only passkey that can only be decoded by a single device, there are no duplicates. Since the software can be moved around on a flash drive, it doesn’t need to be installed on an OS either. Most of the more useful material will be either in old paper format, easily burned, or in flash drive format, with the hard disk reformatted, flipping 0s over 1s and 1s over zeros in a random pattern, in order to scramble the data after it has been viewed and intaken. Deletion itself, is not permanent, as the FBI has ways to order the data fragments if the hard drive isn’t scrambled or reformatted. A magnet can do the job.

For dead drops, all they need to do is mention some address or some such while meeting for lunch, but no details or orders are passed. The orders are placed at the dead drop by one agent, and another agent picks it up and carries out the orders. The authentication is in the form of knowing where the dead drop is and how to access it. In this fashion, even if you have NSA type listening devices on cellphones, it still won’t pick up dead drops. You’d need someone to figure out from merely audio what people are referring to and then have a person physically at the dead drop to switch out the data. Things that normally foreign intelligence cannot carry out. They can carry out the data analysis part, but not the man power requirement, which is usually provided by the police.

As for how competent the Leftist Regime’s spies and operatives are… well that really depends.

I have an idea. Subpoena the entire IRS. All of them. Reopen Alcatraz. Send them there. Let them off after they devise and implement a tax system that works – on them.

Problem solved.

If I trust you I will speak to you in any media that is convenient; if I don’t I want a record in case things go sideways.

If it’s really important I’ll deal with you face-to-face under controlled conditions; I’ll determine the control factors.

If it’s absolutely vital that the matter be confidential, I’ll DEMAND the Cone of Silence.

“Oh, Jenk! You KNOW the Cone of Silence never works!”

“Chief, I demand the Cone of Silence….”
