FBI Reproved For Spying On Journalists

FBI Perv Robert S. Mueller

According to DOJ Inspector General, Glenn A. Fine's testimony in Congress this week, the FBI, headed by psycho, Robert S. Mueller, has been spying on journalists and bloggers in America, in violation of the U.S. Constitution, as the Judiciary Report and its sister site, The Sound Off Column, have stated for years.

Fine's report stated FBI agents, under instructions from headquarters, routinely lied to telephone companies to spy on journalists and bloggers, clearly with no probable cause.

However, the issue of the FBI spying on innocent people in their homes visually (hidden cameras, spyware surreptitiously installed on computers to access webcams, as in the Blake Robbins case that has now been proven true) and audibly (roving mobile phone bugs) needs to be addressed.

These thoroughly perverse forms of spying have been utilized by the FBI against innocent Americans, such as scientists, doctors and professors (who do groundbreaking research and patents) and journalists and bloggers (who write exposes or unflattering articles about the Bureau or their affiliates).

FBI caught lying to spy on reporters, citizens without court order

4/20/2010 1:05 - (Washington) -- Federal agents have been lying to get access to phone records that should require a court order, allowing them to sift through private phone calls of news reporters and other citizens, according to the Justice Department's Inspector General.

Testifying this week before the House Judiciary Committee's Subcommittee on Constitution, Civil Rights and Civil Liberties, Inspector General Glenn Fine urged Congress to increase its oversight on FBI agents' abuses of a process that allows them to get phone records without a court order...

The FBI Fancies Itself A Corporation

FBI Director Robert S. Mueller

Today on The FBI's website, the national law enforcement agency fancied itself a corporation, much like the Judiciary Report's sister site the Sound Off Column made reference to in 2006, drawing parallels to point out the agency's shortcomings, costing the taxpayers of America a fortune, due to their folly.

Today the FBI stated, "In the corporate world, the approach might help reveal inefficiencies and save money. For the FBI, finding intelligence gaps or discovering better methods could save lives."

However, the FBI clearly thinks a lot of itself, which is ironic given its terrible failure rate. As the Sound Off Column did in 2006, comparing the FBI to a corporation to highlight its failures, the Judiciary Report shall do today as well, especially in light of recently released Inspector General reports, painfully illustrating the FBI is still wasting hundreds of millions in taxpayer money. Some people never learn.

A corporation could never function in the manner the FBI has under Director Robert S. Mueller. If the FBI had been an actual corporation, it would have went bankrupt, folded and gone out of business long ago, with shareholders protesting in revolt at its poor practices that cost them a big bundle.

In corporate terms, the FBI suffers from self-inflicted bad PR, systematic budget overruns, financial misappropriation, exorbitant expense accounts, embezzlement, unethical business practices, deceptive advertising, invades customers' privacy, poor consumer ties, ineptitude, breach of fiduciary duty, misconduct, insider trading, unaccounted for and stolen equipment, unnecessary overtime, gross lack of efficiency, computer illiterate, bad communications systems, a bad line of products and a treacherous, ruthless megalomaniac CEO.

TALKING STRATEGY

The New Intelligence-Driven FBI - 04/02/10 - With the leadership of almost every major FBI program seated around a conference table at FBI Headquarters and the top echelons of the Bureau’s three largest field offices appearing via remote television monitors, Director Robert Mueller arrived in shirtsleeves and got down to business.

The assistant directors in charge of the New York, Los Angeles, and Washington Field Offices, along with their top managers, were present—leaning forward, ready to field questions on how they are tackling the Bureau’s top priorities and their own most pressing threats.

The meeting is called a Strategy Performance Session, or SPS. It’s a management tool to drill down and identify how well a field office knows its territory and what its investigative strengths and weaknesses are. In the corporate world, the approach might help reveal inefficiencies and save money. For the FBI, finding intelligence gaps or discovering better methods could save lives.

The two-hour, semi-annual sessions—and the preparation leading up to them—can help reveal not only how much our 56 field offices know, but how they know it. What effective techniques can be adopted by other offices?...

“Everyone in that room heard from the Director about what he wants,” Harrington said. By meeting’s end, action items are clear. Headquarters knows what commanders are up against, and the field has unfiltered insight into Director Mueller’s priorities. “By asking the right questions, we’re engaging them to start thinking about it.”...

SPIRITUAL What Is Society Really Teaching Kids

What is society teaching kids and teens. Through television and the internet, they are bombarded on a daily basis, with images of violence, vulgarity, profanity, promiscuity, drug use, greed and covetousness.

As a result, all over the world, there has been a very noticeable spike in criminal misbehavior among the world's youth, so shocking it leaves many adults wondering what kind of world we are living in. No one wants to claim responsibility for it, but they are learning this debauchery somewhere.

If you have children, do not encourage them to be rebellious, wild and heartbreakers. Do not encourage them to sow their oats, as there are STDs out there, condoms cannot protect them from. Do not encourage them to be materialistic or take financial shortcuts in life, as it could lead them into committing crimes.

It you are an individual, who has a podium that reaches many, try to set a good example. Do not lead people's impressionable kids astray, via a negative example. Do not add to the problem, as God is watching you and will hold you accountable.

FBI Computer System Still A Financial Sinkhole

FBI Director Robert S. Mueller (Photo credit: Stephanie Woodrow)

The New York Times has announced The FBI's long awaited computer system has hit the wall again. Unbelievable! The Judiciary Report's sister site, the Sound Off Column, wrote a series of articles beginning in June 2006 (www.soundoffcolumn.com/june_06.htm) warning of future trouble with the FBI's planned computer system.

The Sound Off Column even detailed methods of creating and implementing a computer system for the FBI that was a mere fraction of the cost being tossed around in Congress and would require far less time.

America has some of the biggest computer companies in the world, yet Mueller has the nation's main law enforcement agency looking like they start fires with rocks and sticks, instead of matches.

Four years after the Sound Off Column articles, warning the FBI to change course in how it announced it would go about acquiring a computer system and $1billion dollars later in taxpayer money and the FBI's computer system is delayed once again with more problems cropping up.

The Sound Off Column warned the system would be useless if it was implemented over years rather than weeks or a few short months, as the speed of technology is as such, one year down the road, manufacturers will have released their latest innovations, making older models obsolete.

However, site reader, FBI Director Robert S. Mueller, clearly thinks he knows more than me about computers, when he nearly fell for an identity theft scam via an email link he nearly clicked, thus he went about the computer system the long and wrong way. Now they are sitting on scrap metal, er, I mean outdated computers, with old operating systems and slower peripherals, much of which have not even been implemented.

I have a bridge I'd like to sell Mueller, because he is just that gullible that he would buy just about anything. This wouldn't be so sad if the country was not facing an unprecedented rise in terrorism both domestically and internationally.

Having a great, cutting edge computer system, makes a big difference in law enforcement matters. Technology can be used to prevent crime and boost productivity, but some people just don't grasp that. Robert S. Mueller is one of those people. Hence, the FBI being so slow and inefficient with cases, even when people's lives are at stake.

Side Bar: you still haven't accounted for hundreds of millions of dollars from the computer system money that went missing and was labeled "miscellaneous." Do we have to guess which off shore accounts that embezzled taxpayer money is sitting in. You better be glad I'm not President, because your butt would be in prison.

Massive FBI computer overhaul is put on ice (again)

Carrier pigeons still viable

Posted in Government, 19th March 2010 20:35 GMT - The FBI has once again suspended work on parts of a massive computer overhaul that many say is vital to fighting crime and terrorism.

Putting the project known as Sentinel on hold has alarmed some on Capitol Hill because the upgrade was considered vital to shoring-up deficiencies in key areas, The New York Times reports. Several years ago, FBI computer systems were so poor that many agents couldn't send or receive email and had difficulty getting case histories or tapping other databases.

Following the September 11 terrorist attacks, agents in Florida had to send their counterparts in Washington, DC, photographs of the hijackers by overnight mail because they couldn't send email attachments...

F.B.I. Faces New Setback in Computer Overhaul

Published: March 18, 2010 - WASHINGTON — The Federal Bureau of Investigation has suspended work on parts of its huge computer overhaul, dealing the agency the latest costly setback in a decade-long effort to develop a modernized information system to combat crime and terrorism.

The overhaul was supposed to be completed this fall, but now will not be done until next year at the earliest. The delay could mean at least $30 million in cost overruns on a project considered vital to national security, Congressional officials said...

The officials said the decision to suspend work on other parts of the program reflected the lessons learned from previous setbacks. When Lockheed Martin won the contract, the F.B.I. ended the previous computer overhaul and started over because the problems had grown too big to fix.

Robert S. Mueller III, director of the F.B.I., acknowledged problems in the project when he was asked about it at a House appropriations hearing on Wednesday...

While the F.B.I. described the problems as a minor setback, Congressional officials said they were alarmed.
