Leaked Voter Internet Database 191 Million Voter Names, Emails, Birth Dates, Addresses, Party Affiliations, And Phone Numbers For All 50 States And D.C.

     Tuesday, 29 December 2015, WASHINGTON, D.C. - A publicly accessible U.S. voter database consolidating 191 million U.S. voters' names, addresses, birth dates, party affiliations, phone numbers, and email addresses from all fifty states and Washington, DC was incorrectly configured so that it was not secure with the leak first reported by CSO Online and Databreaches, Inc. Those computer and privacy news sites according to Austin, Texas computer researcher tech support specialist Chris Vickery were helping him to locate the Internet voter database's owner.
     Vickery said in a Monday telephone interview that it was he who originally had discovered the leak while seeking to expose data security public leaks on the Internet. Mr. Vickery reportedly said the database took about one day to download and did not know if it had been accessed by any others. CSO Online said the information contained codes that may have originated from campaign software provider NationBuilder.
     NationBuilder Chief Executive Officer Jim Gilliam said the database was not created by the Los Angeles-based company although some of the database information may have come from "data it freely supplies to political campaigns." Gilliam curiously then while implying NationBuilder had not necessarily "seen" all the information leaked made the definite statement that the voter information "included" in the leak "is already publicly available from each state government" and so asserted that "no new or private information was released in this database". Apparently Mr. Gilliam may have overlooked both the security danger the voter information compilation posed including because of criminal use of it in "concentrated" form as Mr. Vickery pointed out as well as the fact that different state governments do not uniformly allow the same uses of voter registration information.
     Federal agencies quickly stepped up to shift the blame to others with a representative with the U.S. Federal Elections Commission saying the FEC has no jurisdiction over protecting voter records. Mr. Vickery said he has not been able to identify who controls the database, but that he is working with U.S. agencies whom he declined to identify to determine who owns the site so that it can be removed from public view. Unsurprisingly the F.B.I. declined to comment on its role presumably yet again sleuthing slippery commie states and/or tech punks (it might later hire due to its own present gross ineptitude) in this recent huge government Internet security breach doubtless hoping yet again no one rightfully could attribute responsibility to the F.B.I. for this or any of the other rapidly growing multitudes of government Internet and database breaches extending from the White House to the Pentagon that serve to magnify the F.B.I.'s inability to enforce internet security against anyone except its own corrupt recently criminally tried agents.
     This "no FBI comment" strategy is readily understandable especially considering that FBI Director "Backdoor Man" James B. Comey like screaming NSA Director "No Backdoor Man" Admiral Michael "Mike" Rogers has been increasingly vociferously demanding a "key" or "split keys" to U.S. technology company including phone encryption contrary to all reputable world computer security expert opinions (and directly violating Comey's pledge covered verbatim in a post here earlier this year in which he assured that would take "no position" on the issue) on the grounds that Director Comey and apparently Admiral Rogers even in the wake of the continuing tidal wave onslaught of U.S. government cyberbreaches still incredibly believe their agencies can insure any cybersecurity at all much less manage not to lose or have a "key" misused by a criminal hostile state within a matter of days. Should the federal government succeed in threatening American technology companies to get a single "key" or "split keys" the Ninth Amendment respectfully suggests that President Obama please immediately demand it be turned over to the White House so that it may be secured with the First Lady to wear as a necklace.

GUANTANAMO BAY - Here at what the New York Times belatedly has identified as the insubordinate DOD's concentration camp historically also used as light warm-up for the criminally insane D.I.A. (no International Red Cross allowed) Bagram P.O.W. torture workshop or whatever it seems convenient to call torturees at the moment the brainchild of disgraced war criminal former Defense Secretary Donald (suck my brain-cancer causing G.D. Searle "Nutrasweet") Rumsfeld's "Torture Working Group" psychopathic D.I.A. and the criminal Bush / "I'd torture them again in a minute" as yet unprosecuted (Pigheart) Dick "Criminal Notorious" Cheney administration C.I.A. in flagrant violation of the U.S. Constitution the foul scum of senior U.S. Pentagon multi-starred "leadership" and competing "national security" officials where corridor-scarred generals and landlocked admirals float up like feces in an outhouse most of them torturers, chickenshit drone killers of innocent civilians themselves war criminals against humanity long overdue tried and thrown in their own "Black Jail" military prison for drowning in defense contractor revolving door kickbacks and handouts continue to live out their vilest and pernicious delusional fantasies of power-mad righteousness while in reality globally hated and a disgrace to all truly good courageous Americans who preceded them the day of reckoning approaches for their profoundly sick betrayal of the memory and the extraordinary vision and compassion of the great Abraham Lincoln and others including James Madison, Thomas Jefferson, George Washington and all the Founding Fathers who without doubt would find today's cowardly self-serving corrupt illegitimate rogue military "leaders" themselves worthy not even to spend the night murdered at Bagram, chained naked to a sidewalk freezing to death in winter in the "Combat Zone", "Alphabet City", Paterson Newark Camden Trenton, or just blocks from the Capitol Building, "Liberty City", Watts, the floor of their Abu Ghraib naked dogs lick your balls prison showers or thousands of other places that they only dream they "control" now but must pray they never accidentally have to drive through unprotected at night.

     Who knows maybe even volunteered to take a D.I.A. shift watching gay porn shooting up "non-mind-altering" drugs swinging a blackjack or a baseball bat around at the the moaning dark shadows wrapped in Israeli flags where perhaps only the very sickest of the most patriotic might "serve" at the "Black Jail" or another D.I.A. facility perhaps closed former C.I.A. black site but definitely a spot zoned for excessively high levels of late nightclub noise in some former Eastern Bloc newly NATO country learning life, liberty and the pursuit of state-sponsored agony the American "national security" way including blindly rectal feeding apparently those whom DOJ today finds most expedient today to call "detainees" or is it now "prisoners of war" hanging them from ceilings like Mob once did  from meat hooks in refrigerated lower West side meat wagon "transfer facilities'". 

     The criminally insane D.I.A. furthermore forced torturees to take "no mind-altering" drugs while forcing them to watch naked along with their D.I.A. manhandlers gay porn screened nearly continuously while forced to listen to an assault of extremely loud distorted "Skinny Puppy" songs playing around the clock for days on end while who knows perhaps the government and military "leaders" and lesser peon officials themselves stripped down to their scented designer "Senior Executive Service" embossed silk underwear at their "D.I.A. fantasy raves" camps the better to reflect free and unencumbered on the stiffness and integrity of their own "American values" more fun perhaps to them any day in their dark foreign dungeons than that terminally boring Army Navy Club sucking ass back stateside.

     Not to linger here but never forget the insubordinate war criminals now include the "highest" Pentagon officials down to Guantanamo Concentration Camp Commandant General John F. Kelly proudly living out the reality of the most glamorous shining moments of their careers babysitting the right-deprived tortured "detainees" now most recently become "prisoners of war" except without the benefits nor noticeable recognition of new or any rights at all except perhaps thrown to the vagaries if convenient of U.S. military justice provided any outcome if it ever in fact occurred was predetermined to the extent that it might as well be scripted and that GTMO they one day will wrongly have been shown to believe to their own mistaken peril "was beyond the reach of all law" would never close they thus never facing justice nor paying for their crimes against humanity.

      The New York Times reports that its visits now are curtailed along with its other herded press colleagues limited to "outside the walls" as always has been the case never to speak with the distantly separated from them once-"detainees", no longer permitted now even to speak with the "lower level guards" who might just without guile actually tell the truth about Guantanamo to some visiting press group being the only outside persons with any "access" and thus tasked with the staggering moral responsibility to collect valid information as the eyes and ears of the entire world community, which press and therefore world community already since 2013 by order also of Commandant General Kelly no longer have been informed of the numbers nor condition of death hunger strikers among the now about 107 detainee/war prisoners kept at Guantanamo Bay by the American war criminals who themselves await their Judgment Day. Some have for 14 years been tortured by the C.I.A. and D.I.A. and held by the U.S. since 2001 without charge, trial, conviction, any release date nor even pending known just proceeding of any sort.

     Finally Guantanamo Concentration Camp commander General Kelly informally mentioned individually to reporters who at this point felt compelled to complain particularly on behalf of their junior colleagues not previously at the facility for purposes of comparison) that in addition to his above new fiats without any prior notice that to these reporters now visiting he further was decreeing the further ratcheting down totally contrary to Obama administration claimed public "transparency" (or did that quietly dissolve altogether when Obama took the new course in his presidency regarding withholding all information from the public of his drone murders) and of the most hypocritical significance since no longer informing reporters how many "detainees" were trying to starve themselves to death since 2013 that he General Kelly had decided there would be a stark reduction in media Guantanamo observation visits from request granted pretty much any time there was no conflict in visits of other visiting parties for the press from a Monday arrival to next Thursday departure now apparently shockingly curtailed what he Kelly decreed would be now only four single "media day" visits a year. 

     This allegedly not to hide a new phase of internationally illegal torture and other wrongdoing by Kelly and company "to let the whip come down" with the place to themselves but to reduce what the New York Times called the "operational strain" (presumably sarcastically except to the military) of more visitors of late from other countries "shopping" for prisoners in exchange for who knows what, "let's see, three predator drones, 500 hellfire missiles, three more of those "atomic" bombs now that those crazy North Koreans now claimed to have developed a hydrogen bomb, let's see how many hundred million dollars.... and we have to actually keep them on our soil how long?" All this a great lesson in the "new criminal, or military, or whatever, justice" kind of like the new math. . . .   

     Having issued the especially onerous prisoner visit order led the apparently easily offended delicate sensibilities of General Kelly (thus his stationing at Guantanamo Bay rather than say as a valet to serve higher brass at the Army Navy Club) compelled him to offer the press some explanation which was to intimate that such "operational strain" presumably led as it might well logically in the mind of a criminally insane unsupervised Concentration Camp commander to deep offense specifically in this case because of a journalist whom Guantanamo Concentration Camp Commandant General Kelly apparently was too well-mannered to identify as having been "extremely impolite" to a service member working in the detainee library undoubtedly having been a marine or some like person who went back to his/her bunk to cry just reliving the horrid affront from some national reporter over his/her "Miss Marine Manners" book after his/her shift ended subjected to such a lack of politeness as might be expected to cause PTSD. 

     Well that explained it is certainly reason enough for punishing not only all press but all kidnappee-torturee-detainee-"war prisoners"-etc. and effectively remove the sliver that remained of their nearly non-existent recognition as human beings such that they can now may just be seen even in the distance by reporters on their "media day" visits to examine the facility without entering it or talking to anyone except a few persons doubtless like Concentration Camp Commander Kelly who asked the reporters why the big deal as "nothing ever changed around the place" anyway.

     The Ninth Amendment wishes as Barack Obama's legacy clearly becomes more cemented in rebar as rife with atrocity more and more frequently unfortunately and most reluctantly chronicled here of late that President Obama be honored with the structures left still standing at Guantanamo all left remaining and clearly labelled along with a presidential library established where the showers once were with "alternative" law books with strategies as to doing things the "fast" rather than the "legal" way funded entirely by Miami ferry tourist trips to Guantanamo Bay when no longer populated by torturees, detainees, war criminals or whatever they finally may be called to maintain the site preserved by the National Park Service as the "Bush/Cheney Administration DOD DIA/CIA Guantanamo Concentration Camp - World's Most Effective Radical Islamist Terrorist Recruiting Billboard, 2001- ?". 

     Sort of maybe like the modern day Alcatraz Island national park with the Republican Congress mindful of future legacies of corrupt privileged GOP Ivy League "legacy as opposed to aptitude" children to support their folks in their early retirement as as they aspire to gut the Antiquities Act selling off National Monuments insuring no Democrat pulls a fast one and slips in any more stealth national parks like that sneaky enemy of all good nature exploiting Republicans President Theodore Roosevelt (well actually he was the Republican Roosevelt). 

     Anyway celebrating our newly rediscovered joint venture what could be more ecologically Republican American than keeping the land from Guantanamo for the new improved U.S. National (or rather International) Park Drilling Service (IPDS) in a foreign country that has been identified as a known source of hugely profitable supplies of fossil fuels. Not unlike the "Pigheart" Dick "Criminal Notorious" Cheney Iraq Invasion Memorial International National U.S. Drilling Park which unfortunately seems to have supplied much more oil to ISIS than ever to Iraq or the U.S. after Bush/Cheney pre-emptively struck, despite the most corrupt expensive failed efforts of history's most corrupt profiteering "Vice-President" Cheney's Halliburton with his psychotic murderous "no-bid" criminal Blackwater contract security winning combination that made GOP criminal Nixon VP Spiro Agnew look like a rank amateur of mere minor uninspired corruption.

      That is unless the CIA, DIA or one of the rapidly growing number of other U.S. national security agencies should need Guantanamo Bay again for a torture and imprisonment facility in which case it shall be returned to its original CIA Torture Facility condition when the first "detainees" were kidnapped by the CIA and dropped there by helicopter at night, that is with the removal of all seating, plumbing, fixtures, fire alarms, screens and so on although the CIA may maintain a Gift Shop there should it choose selling latest generation armaments to "friendly" soon to be guerrilla movements for otherwise specifically forbidden "operations" when unavailable for example at a double stall the "regulated stuff" kept behind the curtain at the Yemen City weapons bazaar and children's playground. 

       Let's not let self-proclaimed Constitutional Law Professor Obama off too easy aside from his as yet untallied drone mass murders of innocents make no mistake Obama by 2011 had more than doubled the prisoner population at Bagram treated much worse than anyone ever was at Guantanamo from its highest number ever achieved by not-really-elected "President" George "little shrub" Bush with Obama officials suggesting that these persons in never-never land be "processed" as had been dreamed up by "Pigheart" Dick "Criminal Notorious" Cheney in a plan rumored to have been scratched on a cocktail napkin which already had been rejected by even the Bush administration as too ludicrously obviously a horrorshow even for them to pull off. Cheney most recently hawking his book of lies with his daughter re-writing history with his brainwashed daughter claiming the Bush/Cheney administration left a stable Iraq and blaming ISIS on President Obama. Quite possibly they decided while they were putting in the pig's heart to include the brain as well.

Link to Wikepedia entry regarding Defense Intelligence Agency:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Defense_Intelligence_Agency

     The section of the above Wikipedia entry especially detailing Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA)  "heavy-handed torture" techniques referred to in this post included those developed at the request of the Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld DIA Torture "Working Group" designed to inflict "aggressive, painful torture" allegedly rumored among some DIA staff in awe to be similar to those "used by North Koreans"  now however used by the DIA often at abandoned CIA Torture Black Sites follows.

     Donald Rumsfeld though he failed out of law school and lacked aptitude for legal analysis, comprehension or compliance with the United Nations Convention Against Torture did have prior torture enthusiasm as he later widely was blamed by the Senate Armed Services Committee as well as George H.W. Bush (aside from the unjustified invasion of Iraq) with disastrous U.S. policies such as Rumsfeld's sick mistreatment of former "enemy combatants" who did not fight back against the U.S. but nevertheless were (including members of the professional Iraqi army) needlessly crammed into facilities such as the Abu Ghraib Prison where they were tortured and abused many later to become core leaders of ISIS with Rumsfeld, his longtime co-conspirator in advancing one another's less-than-illustrious careers "Pigheart" Dick "Criminal Notorious" Cheney, of course not-really-elected "President" George "little shrub" Bush and more than anyone else Undersecretary of Defense Douglas Feith being the principal ones the world largely has to thank as being the true "Godfathers" of ISIS without whom it never would have existed. Douglas Feith is also the single most guilty party as yet unrepentent and unprosecuted for the lies regarding the existence of WMD in Iraq despite the CIA's dismissal of this "intelligence" as false so Feith not only was most responsible for the unjustified U.S. attack on Iraq but the disaster which later unfolded consistent with his lunatic orders for the "administration" of the conquered Iraq being to dismiss the Iraqi army and thus give birth to ISIS.

Controversies[edit ]

Alleged torture with drugs, gay porn and loud music[edit]

A declassified FBI correspondence alleging DIA misconduct

In 2003, the Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld's "Working Group" on interrogations requested that the DIA come up with prisoner interrogation techniques for the group's consideration. According to the 2008 US Senate Armed Services Committee report on the treatment of detainees in U.S. custody, the DIA began drawing up the list of techniques with the help of its civilian employee, a former Guantanamo Interrogation Control Element (ICE) Chief David Becker. Becker claimed that the Working Group members were particularly interested in aggressive methods and that he "was encouraged to talk about techniques that inflict pain."^[40]

It is unknown to what extent the agency's recommendations were used or for how long, but according to the same Senate report, the list drawn up by DIA included the use "drugs such as sodium pentothal and demerol", humiliating treatment using female interrogators and sleep deprivation. Becker claimed that he recommended the use of drugs due to rumors that another intelligence agency, name of which was redacted in the Senate report, had successfully used them in the past.^[41] According to the analysis of the Office of Defense Inspector General, the DIA's cited justification for the use of drugs was to "[relax] detainee to cooperative state" and that mind-altering substances were not used.^[42]

Some of the more lurid revelations of DIA's alleged harsh interrogations came from FBI officers, who conducted their own screenings of detainees inGuantanamo along with other agencies. According to one account, the interrogators of what was then DIA's Defense Humint Service (referenced in FBI correspondence as DHS^[43]), forced subjects to watch gay porn, draped them with the Israeli Flag and interrogated them in rooms lit by strobe lights for 16–18 hours, all the while telling prisoners that they were from FBI.^[44]

The real FBI operative was concerned that DIA's harsh methods and impersonation of FBI agents would complicate the Bureau's ability to do its job properly, saying "The next time a real Agent tries to talk to that guy, you can imagine the result."^[44] A subsequent military inquiry countered FBI's allegations by saying that the prisoner treatment was degrading but not inhuman, without addressing the allegation of DIA staff regularly impersonating FBI officers—usually a felony offense.^[45]

Similar activities are thought to have transpired at the hands of DIA operatives in Bagram, where as recently as 2010 the organization ran the so-called "Black Jail". According to a report published by The Atlantic, the jail was manned by DIA's DCHC staff, who were accused of beating and sexually humiliating high-value targets held at the site.^[46] The detention center outlived the black sites ran by the Central Intelligence Agency, with the DIA allegedly continuing to use "restricted" interrogation methods in the facility under a secret authorization. It is unclear what happened to the secret facility after the 2013 transfer of the base to Afghan authorities following several postponements.^[47]

It is of note that DIA's harsh interrogation methods at times paled in comparison to those of certain military elements. In 2004, interrogations by special units of the U.S. military services were reportedly so heavy-handed and physical with the detainees that two DIA officials complained, as a result of which they were threatened and put under surveillance by abusive military interrogators. The two DIA officials managed to share their accounts of abuse with the agency leadership, prompting DIA Director Lowell Jacoby to write a memo on this topic to the Undersecretary of Defense for Intelligence.^[48]

Skinny Puppy controversy[edit]

Skinny Puppy billed DIA for allegedly using its music in torture

In 2014, a Canadian electronic music group Skinny Puppy sent the Defense Intelligence Agency a symbolic bill of $666,000, after finding out that the Agency had used their music in Guantanamo during enhanced interrogation sessions.^[49] Their music was originally heard at GTMO by a guard, who happened to be a fan of Skinny Puppy and could not understand how his favorite music was being used in such a manner: "[Skinny Puppy's] songs are characterized by ... lyrics that call out corporate wrongdoing. The songs I heard at GTMO were heavily distorted, almost to the point of inaudibility. Even so, I would never have imagined that Skinny Puppy's music would, or could, be used for torture". The officer conducting interrogation sessions allegedly stated that the Canadian group's songs—which are "characterized by relentless drumbeats, panicked, convulsive riffs, synth samples"—were very effective for torture.

9/11 Attacks CIA Failed To Prevent Due To Lack Of "Comprehensive Plan" Concludes 2005 CIA Investigator General Report Released After CIA Failed To Adapt Use Of Resources Better To Accomplish Mission Instead Again Wasted Them To "Delay, Obfuscate And Interfere Especially With Overseers" The Standard CIA "Culture" Repeated By CIA Relentlessly Harassing I.G. With "Routine Blanket Denials" Stalling The I.G. 2005 Report Finding That CIA "Failed To Prevent" 9/11 Attacks Due To CIA Ineptitude Notably Lack Of Any CIA "Comprehensive Plan" Delayed Public Release 10 Years - Now Available

REPUBLICATION: CIA FAILS TO PREVENT 9/11 ATTACKS DELAYS 2005 I.G. REPORT 10 YEARS 

      Saturday, 13 June 2015, WASHINGTON, D.C. - The official federal government finding in the C.I.A. Inspector General 2005 Report (the "Report") that the ineptitude of the C.I.A. failed to prevent the success of the 9/11 attacks principally evidenced by the C.I.A.'s lack of any "comprehensive plan" to prevent such terrorist attacks among other C.I.A. serious shortcomings in preparedness which also may have contributed to the C.I.A.'s failure to prevent the 9/11 attacks' success finally after ten years of C.I.A. interference with the preparation and public release of the 2005 Report reviewing the C.I.A. finally now has been revealed officially available to the public in the ten-page Report released this past week. 
     As reported in the Reuters article which interested readers can go to at the first link below C.I.A top officials fought bitterly among themselves and others outside the C.I.A about the contents of the Report. CIA Director George Tenet complained bitterly in a written response attacking the I.G. about the draft 2005 report although Tenet had no authority over the I.G. reviewing his Agency nor the Report's preparation and release. This made his attempts to influence its final release presumably inappropriate and improper not to mention illegal as attempted intimidation and/or interference of those tasked by law with and engaged in investigative oversight reporting of his Agency's performance.

      These C.I.A. attacks including against what is supposed to be the "independent" Inspector General's Office continued unabated as detailed in the Reuters article at the first link below including through another 2007 contentious memo draft 2005 report "partial" public disclosure. All this rancor has continued the utter waste and abuse by the C.I.A. including diverting U.S. government resources meaning taxpayers' money once again attempting to obscure and cover up the truth about yet another instance of C.I.A. monumental failure of historic proportions including through constant unfounded denial (the C.I.A. creed being "plausible deniability" to both the public presumably as well as those above it) ceaselessly trying both to diminish recent and current catastrophic C.I.A. actions while simultaneously scheming to recast whenever plausible the history of C.I.A. disastrous actions as ones of no less than heroic proportions. Here such textbook C.I.A. entirely detrimental to U.S. interests fraudulent, wasteful interference with the Inspector General has continued reportedly right up to the Report's ten-year-delayed public release release
     In any case although the Ninth Amendment is committed to covering the CIA in all the glory of the Agency fits turning attacks at its own internal oversight IG when in fact the obscured vital point is that the C.I.A. allowed the horror of 9/11 to occur by its own ineptitude just as when it pulled all its familiar underhanded and crybaby stunts with the Senate CIA Torture Panel going so far as to commit cyberattacks on Senate computers while simultaneously formally lodging false claims with the Justice Department outright lying that the Senate Interns were doing to CIA computers exactly that which the  CIA in fact was doing to the Interns' Senate Computers.
     All of which is rather tedious in its predictability as the CIA eventually after lying about all it could for years until caught then used its usual means of covering up its first lie with another but finally the CIA had to write a formal written apology to the Senate (100 times on the blackboard) for lying, invading the Senate's computers, making false accusations, whining in every way possible, threatening, lying again all finally followed by it's usual "okay already, we are sorry we did do it " letter which is very nice except in the end all the smokescreen garbage as planned obscured the point that the Senate Torture Report concluded that torture war crimes against humanity where committed for which members of the Bush-Cheney administration as well as CIA officials should therefore by criminally nationally and internationally prosecuted but have as one year's release not a single one been charged with crimes up to murder including those for which they face lifelong prosecution and incarceration worldwide.
     Those readers interested in the CIA's years of bitterly complaining and intruding into what should have been the Independent investigation report will find the usual CIA antics of insanely needing to know every detail of what is being written about the CIA immediately without regard for any impropriety of not only letting alone others who supposedly have independent oversight responsibilities but completely intruding into and trying to control their work, their writing and their conclusions. The Ninth Amendment editorial board obviously believes such intrusiveness by the CIA or any agency of those who have oversight responsibilities is outrageous and gravely dangerous in more ways than one which is probably why it encompasses obstruction of justice and other crimes,
     Yes the CIA due to a lack of any comprehensive plan among other things is responsible for the success of the terrorist attacks on 9/11. It is unfortunate that rather than focusing on improvements at the CIA that in fact must be the biggest issue as Reuters put it succinctly that the past ten plus years many have instead been most engaged by their concern that "[a]t stake in the years-long dispute are the legacies of former top CIA officials and the agency itself." In other words rather than finding the truth they want to write their own history and apparently are more than willing to attempt to force their narrative into the one of what really occurred." From medieval torturers to heroes in a mere memoir.
     Readers interested in more information about the above can go to the first link below to the Reuters article referenced above. Those readers interested in the C.I.A. Inspector General's Final Report regarding the C.I.A.s lapses allowing the 9/11 attacks to occur can find it at the second link below which also includes links to C.I.A. memos and correspondence during the course of the investigations as well as the C.I.A.'s response to the Inspector General's Final Report.

Drug Trafficking Success Assured By Community Goodwill Like The Sinaloa Federation Or By Being The Most Ruthless, Violent And Feared Of Cartels Like The Former Mexican Military Elite Los Zetas Offer Immediate Job Opportunities Per Rodrigo Canales Associate Professor At The Yale School Of Management

Rodrigo Canales: Don't underestimate Cartel organisational brilliance (or DEA idiocy and corruption in its fifty-year losing phony sham "war on drugs" for permanent employment)

Rodrigo Canales is an associate professor at the Yale School of Management.

"Our traditional framing is that drug dealers are crazy, ruthless criminals, but I realised they were playing a much more sophisticated sport.

"Because drugs are illegal and physical in nature, the only way you can reliably guarantee to your customers that you're going to deliver, is if you control the territory through which you transport them.

"The way you control competitors is through violence. To control the authorities you use what in Mexico is called 'the law of silver or lead'; meaning if you're the local authority, do you want to earn a lot of money? Or do you want me to kill you?

"And if you want stability in your territory, it's very useful to have local people on your side, or at least not openly against you. In many cases, the most sophisticated organisations establish good relationships with local communities. They help with other types of crime. They invest in the community, and have sophisticated communication strategies to provide a narrative for why they do what they do.

"Organisations which operate effectively have a well-defined structure, culture and set of values. They have YouTube channels. They use social media both to recruit people and communicate with each other.

"The Sinaloa Federation - which is often cited as the most powerful of the Mexican organisations - is quite disciplined about not engaging in other crime, which allows them to retain good relationships with locals. Their brand is professional multinational drug organisation.

Another Sham Success In The Phony "War On Drugs" Dramatically Pictured By "War On Drug" Actors Below:

"At the other extreme we have Los Zetas. Born as an enforcement arm to the Gulf cartel, the first cohort used to be an elite corps within the military. They maintained the military structure and chain of command. As Los Zetas grew, they overtook the Gulf cartel.

"They've developed a brand of being the most ruthless, violent and feared of the cartels. Once they dominate a territory, they take over all criminal activities within that territory, including extortion and prostitution.

"If you think about the way drug policy has operated in the world and especially in Mexico, we have created an evolutionary environment where only the most ruthless, violent and sophisticated organisations can survive. The ones that are not as sophisticated just get weeded out, either because the government or a conkmpetitor overpowers them.

"If we don't take a structural and complete approach, then they're always going to be ahead of us - we're just never going to catch up."

Having read the above readers may be unsurprised to learn that such truthful assessments are vigorously and or self-servingly contradicted with lies by those enjoying  lifetime employment fighting the "war on drugs" see e.g.  BBC World US-Canada News link following: 

     "We're being very effective with the resources we have, but we could use more ships and more aircraft" (who couldn't), claims Coast Guard Rear Admiral Christopher Tomney who remarkably thinks anyone still believes the U.S. is winning the phony "drug war" as he leads the U.S. task force now fighting drug trafficking for "only 26 years". The consistently disgraced DEA habitual prostitute party drunkards meanwhile gasping for relevance with the DEA's latest non-specific doomsday death figures for which it in any case is most likely is as responsible as anyone else. Here the telltale DEA statistically manufactured scare being only further to confuse another issue presenting unknown numbers of prescription combined with other uncertain drug deaths that are essentially meaningless.
     That is except to demonstrate the endemically corrupt DEA once again likely is tasking itself with scheming yet some other totally misguided initiative which at best will do minimal damage at taxpayer expense and at worse another in a tediously long DEA history of signature totally failed initiatives serving most often only to expand the so-called phony "Drug War" in new and unexpected (to the DEA at least) directions and opportunities for others.
     Most importantly the DEA must keep its drug cartel hosted drunken prostitute parties thriving abroad if only for tradition's sake after 50 straight years more or less of continuing the Nixon administration's cynically bogus totally failed as planned phony "War on Drugs" at grossly enormous cost to this Nation and the global community in nearly every way imaginable.
     Meanwhile in addition to the Coast Guard and DEA now Homeland Security Investigations gets its hand in the weed seizing 60 tons of marijuana from San Diego cross-border tunnels. Hopefully that is not "medical" marijuana needed by AIDS, cancer and infant seizure patients.
     Of course forever lurking out there among the most ubiquitous of federal agencies self-appointed to all manner of global adventures including complete disregard for its lack of any domestic mission and related authority in the domestic U.S. is the C.I.A. whether flying cocaine around allegedly in the past ltrafficking in cocaine illegally to raise funds for combatants in illegal conflicts, introducing drugs into the United States and more recently rumored even  to be directing as "traffic cep" drug trafficking among Mexican drug cartels.
     The Ninth Amendment is familiar with enough reliable reports with past posts here over time to relate the above examples of "rumored" C.I.A. drug trafficking and related activities although the subject obviously is not touched upon in the above-referenced BBC World US-Canada article. Such C.I.A. activity on its face clearly is contrary to or more exactly in complete opposition to all efforts further exposing the phony "drug war" of other agencies above described although. Of course the C.I.A. may be driven by some believed overarching even if incomprehensible and most likely illegal purposes (although perhaps not under DOJ "secret" nonsensical legal memos read by no one but once then hopefully forever locked away.)
      Interested readers about the preceding above can find more descriptions of the latest successful large-scale drug trafficking techniques with helpful photos for implementing these opportunities at the BBC World US-Canada news link below.

FBI Comey Rogue Disingenuous Self-Righteous Director Rebuffed As White House Orders "No Encryption Code Keys" Joined By Dutch - Even NSA Ex-Technical Director Warns UK MP's To Reject GCHQ "Totalitarian" Useless "Keys" Will "Cost Lives" - Code Keys Pose "Catastrophic Threat" Warn All World's Top 13 Cryptographers, Computer Scientists And Security Specialists

     Wednesday, 2 December 2015, SAN FRANCISCO - American and British Governments including all dishonest inept law enforcement regardless of what false diversionary terror smokescreen tactics they have used to exploit the Fourth of July and other occasions supposedly warranting their so-called "new norm" of terror alert (and likewise presumably new routine of State privacy invasion) must not be permitted to use such unwarranted instigation of widespread manipulated public alarm to exploit public terror fears in order to gain special access to encrypted communications as it will put the world's most confidential data and critical infrastructure in much greater danger than it otherwise would be and expose it to catastrophic threat because "[s]uch access will open doors through which criminal nation-states can attack the very individuals law enforcement seeks to defend," says an emphatic report released today by 13 of the world's pre-eminent cryptographers, computer scientists and security specialists much better independently qualified and knowledgeable in such matters than comparatively inexpert government law enforcement officials driven by hysterical misplaced expedience which world experts unanimous report today gives dire warning against any so-called "keys" or any type of special access to encrypted communications according to just released information in the New York Times article detailing the experts' great concerns of the dangers created and their reasons therefore available for interested readers who go to the link below.
     UPDATE:  Thursday, 7 January 2016, The Dutch government has no plans for "restrictive regulatory plans" on encryption justice minister And van der Seur has announced following the lead of the United States White House which has said "no" to encryption keys rejecting the persistent insistent attempted manufactured public hysteria of lying disingenuous sleazeball FBI Director James' Comey for such keys his own worst enemy claiming of the FBI that "we are not some kind of maniacs" (other than with a New York FBI office infected with maniacal right-wing Donald Trump supporters) in the face of FBI failures repeatedly demonstrating shocking ineptitude in preventing or effectively responding to cyberattacks on U.S. government, business and banking among other U.S. institutions keys or no keys.  Meanwhile the NSA's partner in crime long sharing illegally obtained surveillance information with it the UK's GCHQ in its continuing quest to make "privacy" an archaic term is pushing for a wide-ranging bill encompassing "key" and other requirements popularly known in the UK as the "Snooper's Charter". This week William Binney the NSA's ex-technical director said the UK bill would be "totalitarian" and "cost lives" with keys serving to "swamp" security analysts with useless information writing it was "99% useless" in a letter he sent to MP's. Readers interested in more information on this update can go to the second link added below.

Obama Refusal To Prosecute Torturers "Increasingly Indefensible" New York Times Entire Editorial Board Rebukes As American Psychological Association (APA) Finds APA Colluded Both With Bush CIA And DOD War Crimes Against Humanity "One Of Greatest Scandals In U.S. Medical History" As Physicians For Human Rights And Amnesty International Seek D.O.J. Inquiry UPDATE 4

"The Obama Administration has so far refused to prosecute the torturers. As more evidence about this program comes to light, that position becomes increasingly indefensible."

        The New York Times entire editorial board conclusion first published 10 July 2015                                                                

     Wednesday, 2 December 2015, WASHINGTON, D.C. - Due we maintain to the absolute necessity that we the People fearlessly must stay the course of righteousness without undue concern even in these times of apparent fearsome global challenges now as much as ever essential to the unwavering survival of these great United States of America as the sacred and enduring champion without compromise ever of essential liberty and justice standing only for all that is good and right born of trust and gratitude for the ultimate security granted this Nation under the protective eye of Providence with an enduring faith of the ultimate and uncompromising importance of the present and future enduring health, strength, common welfare and prosperity, as well as to the certain and absolute necessity to the moral imperative, vigorous integrity, common defense and robust survival of this Nation as ordained and established by the Constitution by the People of the United States for themselves and their posterity The Ninth Amendment editorial board begs the indulgence of as many readers as possibly may either first now have occasion to read and/or who already may have read this now numbered "Update 3" of the otherwise exact same post published verbatim earlier this year headed "Update 2" in The Ninth Amendment that those People of conscience who are the true patriots who love this country and all for which it stands without needing to shout or even speak it must continue to stand strong regardless of any past or present positions of those committing criminal actions against humanity in the name of the State or ever must join an honorable and ceaselessly persistent press in insisting and letting no person forget nor diminish the truth of the barbarity of the war crimes against humanity wrongfully perpetrated in the name of the State and that the persons proven to have committed unconscionable acts of torture must be held fully accountable and punished under all applicable domestic and international law and treaties or their shameful and barbaric actions unpunished must inevitably render illegitimate any State claim to power and destroy these United States of America as established under the United States Constitution with all the power of this Great Nation reverting back to the People alone.   

     Absent here in the United States now is a government any longer meaningfully policing itself with no justification possible for failing to uphold the Constitution it is sworn to uphold but rather having lost all legitimacy which can emanate only from the People by protecting its own arrogant interests above the law and holding its own perpetual illegitimate self-preservation most dear.  So has come to be the case with the Obama Administration's refusal "to prosecute the torturers" detailed in the post below despite the passage now of over one full year since the December 2014 preliminary release of the painstaking documentation the Senate Torture committee staff compiled in its investigation report totaling something over 6,000 pages of evidence most of which is still withheld presumably because it describes acts of a government too horrific for the People the nation and the world even to read. The "Senate Torture Report" plainly states for those just taking the time to read its executive summary that it concluded unequivocally that the "torturers and their bosses" in the Bush/Cheney senior administration and their CIA counterparts are liable for prosecution for war crimes against humanity both under United States statutes and signatory treaties of the United Nations Convention Against Torture in the International Criminal Court for which there is no statute of limitations also subject to prosecution under certain articles of the Geneva Conventions as well as laws of some individual countries including those whose citizens were kidnapped and tortured by the CIA 

     This brings us to The Ninth Amendment's previously published post re-published below. The present editorial subject of this post is believed to be the second editorial of the entire editorial board of the New York Times with the first originally published 14 December 2014 calling for the prosecution of 9/11 torturers and their bosses. The Obama administration clearly completely has ignored this first call to prosecute as to date none of the torturers nor their bosses have been prosecuted for torture at all just as if it never happened. Except it did. If not brought before justice what is to keep the same from happening again? Or is that the justice reserved only for the party that loses? For readers interested in this first New York Times call for prosecution of 9/11 torturers and their bosses these readers can go to the first link (1) below.
     The occasion for this new call to justice for 9/11 torturers is that an independent report commissioned by the American Psychological Association (APA) unsurprisingly just has concluded as has been addressed in previous Ninth Amendment posts with solid confirmation that the despicable untrained unqualified criminally insane totally corrupt greedsick brutally heartless sadistic "Torture Psychologists" Bruce Jessen and James Mitchell contracted with the CIA for the obscene amount of $80+ million by Jim Cotsana chief of special missions in the CIA Counter-Terrorism Center in order for the CIA to attempt to purchase some imagined degree of medical respectability as the CIA's two now notorious infamous totally unqualified sociopath psychopathic "Torture Psychologists" this same James Mitchell and Bruce Jessen remain in the spotlight of despicable shame for their creation of the completely uninformed, incompetent, useless, inhumane, brutal, barbaric, sadistic and criminally depraved experiments on living human beings totally at odds with and disgracing long-held American ideals of honor, integrity and respect for human decency completely absent from the CIA's "Torture Program" now also confirmed as further eagerly facilitated by the career sycophants of the American Psychological Association (APA) executive board of directors and other major figures who bent APA ethics prohibitions against "torture" to accord instead to totally dishonest lying definitions of "interrogation" through a web of undisclosed connections in hopes of some pathetic infamy and apparent glorious shared criminal liability being stealth collaborators with the CIA and especially DOD in supposedly conforming DOD interrogation (torture) guidelines so as completely to sell out themselves and all APA leadership to provide some grotesquely convoluted "medical justification" for "one of the greatest medical scandals in U.S. history" merely in order to lick up the spilled drippings from the DOD pig trough have been utterly despicable and corrupt serving the needs of the now exposed Bush Torture Program.
     The needlessly sadistic torture techniques of the CIA (keeping in stress positions for prolonged periods, slamming "detainees" against walls, waterboarding, rectal hydration, rectal feeding, mock execution, sleep deprivation, music torture, ceiling hanging, murdering by chaining to frozen cement floors -- punishable as murder for all involved as conspirators or in any capacity or with any degree of knowledge -- and whatever else intentionally under supervised sick and demented employee and contract torturers might at their depraved whim perpetrate to cause degradation, pain and suffering, comprising torture and moreover although it justifies none of the torture also with all sadistic measures incidentally produced no reliable information of value making the entire CIA Torture Program useless) and DOD which have been reported about here in earlier posts now also in the 500 page official APA independent report apparently commissioned by the APA hoping to deflect such charges rather than substantiate and expand upon them.
     The APA independent report instead has served to confirm and condemn all of the APA's participation in the self-serving justification of torture which at long last finally has been undeniably exposed as joined by the APA and created by the "Torture Psychologists" in the course of continuing revolting, inhumane and actionable revelations about the degree of complicity with the CIA Torture Program which the CIA repeatedly right up until recent months has continued to try to cover up given any possible opportunity.
     The Report further relates APA total complicity with DOD torture highlighted to the extent that the "Establishment" has communicated loud and clear to the torturers purporting to act in the name and long heritage of honor of the United States that their atrocities no longer can be ignored by the Obama administration in continuing in its unpardonable failure to bring charges against those responsible for the CIA Torture Program and any related DOD torture activities in contravention of among other things the U.N. Convention Against Torture in the increasingly shamefully discredited name of the United States the responsibility for which outrage rests almost entirely with the CIA as well as the DOD in losing the long hard-earned confidence of its own People and those of the world community with the CIA in fact in some official circles such as by Senator John McCain (R-Ariz.) increasingly known as creating "the best recruiting posters for terrorists in the world" one being Guantanamo Bay the place that has become the symbol to all the world of the moral decay of the decency, integrity and honor of this nation which in the wake of WWII long had been revered around the world.
     The day of reckoning inexorably approaches with a world offering no place for those to hide implicated in the Bush Administration from Bush, Cheney and Rice and on down every step of way with CIA officials and criminally insane "Torture Psychologists" Bruce Jessen and James Mitchell hired by Jim Costsana the chief of special missions in the CIA's later forever murderously tainted Counter-Terrorism Center (former home of the now bureaucratically secretly repositioned "signature strike" drone mass murderer "Mike" aka "Roger" aka "the Wolf") and those who actually carried out torture under those officials as well as in rogue elements of the DOD now being further drawn into the shadow of the prosecution by the United States Attorney General for a multitude of crimes charged in the United Nations in the International Criminal Court for crimes including war crimes against humanity as well as for torture including of their citizens by foreign governments.
     The Obama administration in its shameful complete inaction as to prosecuting the torturers no longer can ignore the grim reality that that there is no excusable choice but to prosecute those whose treatment as if the U.S. torture atrocities never took place would fundamentally discredit and diminish the U.S. before the world community not to mention the need to put these criminals away so they do not torture again as exemplified by the ever-eager "Pigheart" Dick "Criminal Notorious" Cheney who said given the chance he would "do it again" without regard for the continuing revelations of the December 2014 disclosure of the Senate Torture Report Summary (5,500 pages still viewed by the State apparently as too gruesome and sensitive to be released to the American public and the world's eyes) and now the parallel newly released APA report condemning the medical community for its participation in torture.
     The CIA Torture Program and related DOD programs often denying persons basic human rights long heralded by the United States are undoing over two hundred years of honorable national conduct of millions of proud American leaders and ordinary people who set an enduring model for the world which must not be undone by the incredibly vicious Un-American lapses to no apparent purpose of a relatively few seriously grossly misguided persons of whatever level, rank, or title who now do all in their power to hide the extent of their atrocities and rely on any diversion including manufactured public fear and American values they do not share either in conduct nor acceptance of responsibility but instead would rather befoul the reputation of the entire United States with them before the world's eyes. It has been suggested in certain circles that the appropriate location for their trials which the world demanded to see like Nuremberg in WWII would be at Guantanamo Bay where at least a significant number of the torturer atrocities took place.
     Readers interested in more information about the newly released APA torture report prepared by independent unbiased outside counsel of the highest tier at the venerable Sidley + Austin law firm the conclusions of which spurred Physicians for Human Rights to call for those involved in "one of the greatest medical scandals in United States history" to be referred to the Department of Justice (DOJ) for a criminal investigation can go to the second(2) and third (3)  links below.
     [UPDATE] Similarly the Amnesty International USA release responding to the conclusions of the APA report makes clear its position that criminal liability for torture determined upon investigation is inclusive of every level of perpetrator because "all those who planned, conspired in, committed and authorized torture must be held accountable. The report is a powerful reminder that the Justice Department has never brought criminal charges against anyone for torture that was systematic, calculated and unlawful from the beginning," For the full text of the release interested readers can go to the fourth (4) link below. Those readers interested in the New York Times entire editorial board full statement that the Obama administration failure so far to prosecute is "increasingly indefensible" can go to the fifth (5) final link below. 
     Potentially noteworthy to our readers not previously so informed, suspecting or having already themselves concluded even while the Ninth Amendment for now suspends its own final determination as to The New York Times is the fact of the Times front page apparent sincere increasingly emphatic conclusion that the call for justice now reaches as high as the examination of the most important standards of acceptable human conduct in a civilized society extending beyond the State's and its torturers' foul actions against humanity but even now conclusively documented and determined to have tainted indeed fully encompassed the actions not only of current practitioners of but those directly responsible for establishing,  maintaining and governing current and presently evolving ethical and moral standards of the medical profession grossly violated here demands that both they and the "torturers and their bosses" should be prosecuted might be given special weight by our readers in consideration of the fact that the call for prosecution comes from The New York Times.
     The Ninth Amendment  increasingly maintains that many members of the "Establishment" despite its necessary and not infrequent staged griping for credibility's sake including even by some of those both with and formerly with the New York Times in management and reporting and editing capacities have come to recognize with some regularity that if not discredited the at least questionable accuracy of this generally recognized "paper of record" not only in its first often "publicly defining"  initial presentation of but then overlong persistence in repetitively regurgitating too often doubtful "official" first accounts which it not only endorsed but may even have used the not inconsiderable weight of its widely assumed basic integrity to introduce of many significant events even using at times its ready ability with many skilfully to effectively (meaning without seeming to) personally discredit those who would raise valid concerns about its reporting at least for as long as feasible under the doctrine of "plausible deniability" thereby producing its final time-honored well practiced public product of "All the News that's fit to print" which some maintain more truthfully to be "All the news that suits the powerful to print". 
     Here in any case whichever characterization of the Times presentation of the news and opinion of the Nation one may find to be more accurate one need not make that determination as a predicate to seeing that the moral weight of this Nation including those at its highest echelons as well as the world community have become only more determined entrenched in the position that the time for the prosecution of the torturers and bosses as well now all have learned as their complicit "medical professionals" is long overdue with no further reason for delay especially given there has been none at least from the time of the December 2014 public release of just portions of the Senate Torture Report which themselves were indisputably incriminating and conclusive as to the commission of acts of torture which demand justice under U.S. and international law even with the additional 6,000 pages of documents evidencing the acts to date having been held back from the public as too inflammatory.
