No Encryption Terrorist $10 Million Reward State Department Website Plus Departments Of Justice, Homeland Security, Treasury And Other U.S. Government Inspectors General Whistleblower Unsecured Websites Put Tipsters At Risk Of U.S. Federal Government Retaliation Some Even Of Death

     Friday, 17 April 2015, WASHINGTON, D.C. - Whistleblowers providing what they are assured is information treated as "confidential" pursuant to federal law exposing Federal Government "waste, fraud and abuse" to Inspectors General (IGs) of most federal agencies including the Departments of Justice, Homeland Security, the Treasury and many others actually are subject to having their complaints and personal information including names, addresses and telephone numbers transmitted unencrypted via Internet exposing them to danger of career or other retaliation whether from the agencies themselves or even under the Obama Administration to Department of Justice (DOJ) overzealous prosecution not to mention tipsters facing obvious threats to life, limb, family or any number of other devastating consequences who might choose to send Internet communications to the unsecured State Department website offering up to a $10 million reward for terrorist information an ACLU review confirmed as accurate by federal government officials has disclosed leading to contact with the ACLU by DOJ IG Michael Horowitz regarding these most serious federal lapses.
     Among those that do encrypt their entire websites are the White House and CIA as well most major well-known technology firms especially in the wake of Edward J. Snowden's revelations disclosing the staggering extent of unconstitutional especially NSA domestic mass surveillance and metadata collection abuses perpetrated against the American people (assuming those major technology firms did not already know the full extent of and/or participate in those abuses themselves previously). Readers interested in significantly more information including the long list they should be aware of some of the federal agency IG's who do not have secure website Internet complaint and other transmissions can go to the link below.

Cuba "Terror" State Status Today May Be Lifted By U.S. And Diplomatic Relations Restored As Nations Meet At Summit Of The Americas In Panama

     Friday, 10 April 2015, HAVANA - History may be in the making even as United States President Barack Obama and Cuban President Raul Castro plan to meet in coming days at the Panama Summit of the Americas beginning today already U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry and Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodriguez now are meeting in Panama behind closed doors in the highest level meetings between the U.S. and Cuba in nearly half a century. The U.S. State Department reportedly has recommended that the Cuba be removed from the U.S. list of states which sponsor terrorism. Readers interested in more information on this historic meeting can go to the first link below to the BBC World News article just reporting the meeting that may lead to the lifting of Cuba's "Terror" status which could lead to the two countries re-opening embassies.
     Meanwhile even as the Cuban people are eager to cash in commercially as U.S.-Cuban relations slowly thaw with the lifting of the decades-long trade embargo with Cuba long after the collapse of the Soviet Union the Cuban people still face everyday struggles including for just one modern example with Internet use as they eagerly attempt to profit now mostly from the influx of American tourists which has begun. Although regularly scheduled commercial air service between the two countries has only been discussed direct air travel now is available from the U.S. to Cuba on charter flights from New York and New Orleans. Readers interested in more detailed information of thawing U.S.-Cuba commercial and other relations can go to the second link below to the New York Times article which also confirms reports of expectations that U.S.-Cuban diplomatic relations may be restored by the time of the start of today's Summit of the Americas in Panama.

American Retirees Mostly In 50's Through 70's And Others In Increasing Numbers Sell Homes And Possessions And Leave United States For Lives Of Travel Abroad With More Than 360,000 Since 2013 Now Receiving Social Security Payments In Other Countries

       Saturday, 30 August 2014, NEW YORK, NEW YORK - For readers who are retired or in any case just not tied to the United States with a physical or mental ball and chain the Ninth Amendment Editorial Board congratulates and thanks the New York Times for reminding us all that our lives remain ours alone to do with what we wish and do not belong to the military-industrial-pharmaceutical-"political consultant" corporate state relentlessly advertising unneeded garbage and unconstitutional wars which would have us all spending our lives locked up as hostages mind and body under constant threat of unlawful State surveillance on a layaway plan sofa in front of a layaway plan plasmavision receiving deceptively overpriced empty brainless programming endlessly watching CNN looping bogus horrorshows insuring our pure terror of the street right outside our door while we watch Anderson Cooper stroll around the world for lunch us left watching wide-eyed stuck deep in the grid drowning in an overwhelming excess of junk they would sell us until we are buried flailing under sheer mindless repetition which we do not want nor need but striving in our minds alone while doing absolutely nothing for the fake plastic lives we would never have buying remedies for ailments we do not even have but that can blind or kill us in an instant up until that final moment when the picture shatters from pixels to static squandering the remainder of our pathetic lives paying off debt to credit card bank and payday loan usurers for E-Z credit to pay off other E-Z credit or buy more useless junk long ago lost or forgotten rotting in a landfill and have us above all lusting for plastic cars which depreciate faster than the blink of an eye like dropping from a cliff to elevator music and for mortgages which we could not afford while constantly bombarded by the noise of hawkers and screamers and of course the biggest crooks of any in the world just Google "Bank of America" and "crime" to see who steals ten billion dollars in a heartbeat over and over and over again.
       Whoa now in the words of Hunter S. Thompson "Did we say that?. . . Well we must have meant it." For interested readers the link below is to a New York Times article in which one who is so inclined can read of over 360,000 Americans who receive their Social Security overseas, who in many cases have sold their houses and all their possessions in the United States, who spend less and live better than they ever did in the U.S., who owe nothing to anyone, who live on $150 a month, and have found ways all as detailed with links in the Times article to find transportation and places to stay for nothing or next-to-nothing as they have traveled from state-to-state and country-to-country so extensively it is beyond what they ever believed they could back when they were locked in the grid lives they thought were controlled by government and media inspired fear and terror relentlessly pounded into their brains with of course always the backdrop of invaluable advice of the U.S. State Department where not to travel (in 1963) which as we recall from our travels abroad on a few continents was infamous among travelers for its largely worthless notoriously outdated warnings of where to avoid and its uncanny ability completely to miss the spots where one most easily could be killed.

CIA & "Friends" Direct New York Times to Kill Benghazi "Intelligence Loss Worse" Article Pronto, We Feel Safer With Our Babysitter Than "National Counter-Terrorism Center" Or Flying Cheap State Department Thanks Hillary

     Tuesday, 25 September 2012, BENGHAZI, LIBYA - The editorial board of the Ninth Amendment is gratified to at least ourselves for the first time see the mention of yet another U.S. "national intelligence/national security" agency running around out there no doubt on the infinite "Black Ops" Unconstitutional budget keeping us all informed and safe. The U.S. sure has taken to providing a smorgasbord of U.S. targets out there for our ever exponentially-growing group of global friends running around with AK-47's (automatic Kalashnikov 1947's -- do not jam) along with huge stockpiles of other Agency gifts such as Stinger missiles, RPGS, and a host of other gifts no doubt from the Central "Intelligence" Agency.
     That CIA sure has spent the years giving the term "war is peace" a run for its money. Meanwhile the "Center for Counter-Terrorism no doubt must have had a run for its money as to where to begin giving out its pallets of $100 bills (Dick "Pigheart" Cheney's favorite method of payment, especially when he was serving as, say Vice-President of the United States, a wonderful opportunity for personal growth). Well, whoever is out there keeping us safe sure is doing a bang-up job.
     It did slightly concern the editorial staff and some of the more vulnerable Ninth Amendment global bureaus (that would be just about all of them now, thus the extra "hazard-duty" recognition for all but those actually in the company of a bona fide member of the Bush family or one of its bin Laden business colleagues.) that the Times we could not so help but notice rather hastily pulled the focus on the "much worse than first expected" loss of Libya intelligence line of reporting. Quickly it has been becoming rather more of a challenge to find. A quick call in New York on the redline "batphone" from Washington, D.C. no doubt nipped that one in the bud.
     After all why scream in their faces our now nearly daily recital ("losses much worse than first expected" as in the, say, recent Taliban stroll into the most fortified southern Afghanistan base and ensuing destruction of more present-day dollar value of jet fighters sitting parked their neatly no doubt on the ground, where they sadly are not very effective and at least eighteen of them even less so after the Taliban has blown them up. In other words dear readers, what pray tell do you suppose are the chances that in Benghazi and most likely the rest of Libya as well we are as they say in the C.I.A. we are flying blind. Except of course for the legions of pilots warehoused in northern Virginia flying non-existent drones all over the globe. Excuse us if you would that would now be we understand "unmanned aerial vehicles". How creative. Just waiting for murderer Obama to give them the "go"
     So now the C.I.A. special talent for assassinations gone awry is not quite so personal, taking quite a few more innocents along on their journey to death. Any votes for re-doing the gift shop and renovating the George Herbert Walker Bush Center for National Intelligence to enlarge the nearby "petting zoo" so clearly shown in the Google aerial photographs. So much the nicer way to spend the day. Of just back in the gated community with the babysitter watching some light television in what no doubt was and is still the far better "safe house", at least for now. Should readers find themselves right there were the action is we understand that the State Department offers some of the CHEAPEST AIRFARES, LOWCOST SEATS,BEST PLANE SERVICE AROUND,GET THOSE SEATS NOW IN TIME FOR THE HOLIDAYS.

The following comments to the New York Times when the "far greater loss" of Benghazi and Libyan intelligence than first feared was still giving the militants their pat on the back were published verbatim in the Times digital edition within the past couple days. Hit the time/date link on either comment and that should jump loyal readers right to the original Times article where the truth does exist.

   The United States "national intelligence" and/or "national security" agencies now number well over fourteen publicly known. The CIA was chartered to wrap up work of the OSS in World War II with no domestic authority in the United States. Reverse the scenario as to the FBI, domestic authority only. As noted above "signals intelligence" of another agency is now supposedly the order of the day. The editorial board of the Ninth Amendment at www.waronnothing.com wishes to point out that the plethora of other agencies and contractors largely brainchild of Vice President Cheney whose income tax returns went from some relatively "modest" figure with "Halliburton" and his "Black Death" contracting company, exploded exponentially while he was SERVING AS THE VICE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES. The only two persons reportedly permitted to see all classified materials in the United States flashing by on projection screen in a small room in the Pentagon with pallets of boxes being rolled in emerged and PUBLICLY STATED that they COULD NOT REMEMBER A THING. Let us not even get into the mess of other groups known and unknown not to mention the huge apparatus attached to the equally Unconstitutional 40-year losing phony war on drugs, with a cancer of agencies and employment and funding of criminals and dangerous international criminal organizations by people who could not even have gotten a job as a "beat cop" before. And so it goes around the world. Anyone ever consider when it gets here.
