I have a Security Clearance!
May 8, 2017 18:53:37 #
Yes, it was years ago, let’s not say decades.
The Secret Service did so on me regarding who I was meeting. You only have to be in the same room for this investigation to be started. I can’t give you a number of people who have a Security Clearance, but the number must be about a million. The Security Clearance is common. There are several levels of such clearance above Security Clearance, BUT those clearances are (or were) called Top Secret Clearances, they even have numbers.
The Obama Administration who fired Flynn never did issue him the appropriate clearance he would have needed to be National Security Advisor. I’m sure just being a 3 Star General (Lieutenant General) just may have a Security Clearance above what I was issued.
“Everything we say/do is a direct result of your own personal ethics.” DECEIT must be in at least the top 3 of the issues defining ethics, no deceit! If someone is telling you that you must be an “unethical” or a “deceitful” person to do well in politics THEY ARE LYING!
I see so much lying happening aimed at the U.S. public. (A lie of omission is still a lie.) We should all be aware and question everything.
Please remember Pres. Nixon was elected twice (you remember “I’m not a crook”). Nixons’ approval ratings went from popular to unpopular. Nixon had an average of 49% approval rating. At Nixons resignation from President he had a 25% approval rating with 65% disapproval (you can see 10% I don’t know people). [See: historyinpieces.com/research/Nixon ] Doesn’t it bother you that some 25% like a few million people that just didn’t get it? 25% of the voting U.S. public is incapable of judging unethical conduct? More has come out against Pres. Nixon since his resignation and Pardon by Pres. Ford (again don’t believe the pardon was due to the country being split).
I try to be a student of the ethics of people. I’m constantly let-down on expectations of what people actually do. I can tell you more about the ethics saying I spread around, but not relevant to this discussion.
Remember, use your brain, an issue does NOT become a fact simply because it fits with your belief system. A face does NOT become irrelevant because it disagrees with your belief system. You can tell those who play games with issues & facts relating to their belief system fall into the “not too bright”.

After top secret the secrets are given names that have no relation to their actuality. A secret about space travel might have the name Rocky velvet or the like. If you do not know the right name, those who are cleared are not going to discuss it with anyone.....

Thank you! No doubt in my mind the names of the higher levels Security Clearance have changed since all those years ago. Nice to know, thanks again.

Depending on what you are doing, they can be changed weekly, as in Communications, or when they are known to be comprised, or because encryption decides to do so.

For what it's worth, cryptographic codes are changed every 24 hours. By using her private server, the classified information
that HRC transmitted through her private server evaded all security precautions and exposed that material to anyone
who happened to tap into her device. That is a crime, every time.

Your welcome roadster.
Once upon a time, I was a shift supervisor in the First Marine Division headquarters communications center.
We handled about 30,000 messages per month, about 20% classified, and I was responsible for every one that
came or went on my shift.

WOW Gatsby!!!
I was also in the 1st Marine Div. Nixon was Pres. I was also overseas, but not exactly a good time. Funny now in hindsight, the day I set foot in the U.S. I was arrested for fighting some Kristner.
You and I know or remember. The Lt. at the Police Station came from Nam and told them to let me go. Lucky I guess.
Those were the volunteer military days. I got an MOS to drive trucks, but did a bit too well in boot camp rifle range at San Onafre (sic). After boot camp, they got me back to that rifle range fast. Finished my 6 weeks in school and about a week after that I was in-front of a Major. They all were saying they never seen someone do such on the range. Yes, "this is my rifle, this is my gun, this is for pleasure and this is for fun." Happened to me once, again funny in hindsight.
I was sent to another school a secondary MOS assigned by the good ol USMC. My first mission I was a spotter, unfortunately the sniper was killed and I filled his spot.
I try to forget those days. Don't seem to have a problem talking about the better times. I hate to say that not a day goes by I don't think of the bad things. Got married soon after getting back in the States. If it wasn't for her, well did good for me.
How do you handle that?
