The document discusses a secret NSA program authorized by President Bush after 9/11 to conduct warrantless wiretapping of communications within the US, including hundreds or thousands of US persons, to search for links to Al Qaeda. The NSA monitored phone calls and emails entering and leaving the US, exploited information from captured Al Qaeda operatives, and monitored additional people linked to those operatives, expanding their chain of surveillance. The program helped uncover several Al Qaeda plots and led to monitoring of foreign embassies in the US. Key government officials were knowledgeable about the classified NSA program.

The document summarizes an intelligence assessment of a disrupted ISIL plot in Belgium in January 2015. It finds that the plot involved over 10 operatives across multiple European countries and was possibly directed by ISIL, indicating an increased capability for more complex attacks in the West. The plot's tactics, including use of firearms, IEDs, and impersonating police officers, could assist in identifying similar plots. Dispersed operations and encrypted communications posed challenges for detection.
Sample translation drones
The FBI's acknowledgement of domestic drone use for surveillance has sparked debate about threats to American privacy. Experts express concern that widespread civilian and commercial drone use could enable constant surveillance like that performed by the NSA. While officials argue drones aid security, critics argue they undermine privacy and freedom. Restrictions on non-criminal drone surveillance are urged to prevent circumventing the Fourth Amendment's privacy protections.

The document discusses the origins of the alleged secret government program investigating UFOs and extraterrestrials. It claims that between 1947-1952, at least 16 alien crafts and 65 bodies were recovered in the United States. This prompted the US government to form highly classified projects like Sign, Grudge and Blue Book to study the phenomenon. It also led to the creation of covert intelligence agencies like the CIA and NSA, exempted from laws, to communicate with aliens and decipher their technology while keeping their existence secret from the public.

This document provides a summary and critique of various strategies for reforming Child Protective Services (CPS) based on the experience and perspective of Rosalind McAllister, a family advocate.
The key points made are:
1) Protests, petitions, and rallies are unlikely to directly help reunite families or reform the system as judges are not supposed to consider outside media influences.
2) Reforms must happen at the state and local level as CPS is not a major federal issue due to its small scope.
3) Media involvement risks portraying parents and advocates as "crazy" if claims can't be backed by solid evidence from official reports and documents.

Though the Air Force said these were isolated incidents, an Air Force document revealed they implemented increased security measures. Newly declassified documents from the CIA, FBI and other agencies indicate unidentified flying objects exist and some pose a threat to national security by demonstrating technologies beyond present human capability. However, the government has misled the public about the true nature and implications of the UFO phenomenon.

Edward Snowden is a hero or a criminal
Edward Snowden, a low-level private contractor to the US-based National Security Agency (NSA), breached moral confidentiality and secrecy obligations by engaging in unauthorized accessing, retrieving and/or releasing of a large volume of confidential data from NSA to the press and, possibly, to foreign powers. Edward Snowden (born June 21, 1983) is a computer programmer who worked as a subcontractor for the National Security Agency (NSA). Snowden collected top-secret documents regarding NSA domestic surveillance practices that he found disturbing and leaked them. During his years of IT work, Snowden had noticed the far reach of the NSA's everyday surveillance.
“While working for Booz Allen, Snowden began copying top-secret NSA documents.”
(Biography.com, 2019) After he had compiled a large store of documents, Snowden told his NSA supervisor that he needed a leave of absence for medical reasons, stating he had been diagnosed with epilepsy. On May 20, 2013, Snowden took a flight to Hong Kong, China. (Biography.com, 2019)
As mentioned by author Rouse in her article referring, he leaked and also raised questions about data sovereignty and how secure a company's data really is if it's stored by a cloud provider based in the United States. In 2014, almost 90% of respondents to a survey commissioned by security consultancy NTT Communications said they were changing their cloud-buying behavior as a result of Snowden’s revelations. Just over half said they are carrying out greater due diligence on cloud providers than ever before, and more than four-fifths responded that they would seek out more training on data protection laws. (Rouse, 2015)
Snowden has also been accused of irregularities under the Espionage Law for knowingly discovering mysterious national security data. When these charges were opened, newspapers quickly guaranteed that he was accused of undercover work. Such cases are not exactly accurate. Undercover work is commonly characterized as
"the act of spying ... to acquire data on plans and exercises, particularly from an external government."
(Richa, (2015) Although there have been hypotheses as to whether the nations to which Snowden fled (Russia and China) have kept their records, there is still no evidence that he has continued to his advantage or helped them easily as would be the case. The situation with great recognition. (Richa, (2015)
Contrary to Snowden’s claim about wanting to stand up for his fellow Americans, the information he leaked actually created more harm than good.
“The majority of the information that he shared is about the U.S. spying on foreign nations and not its domestic operations.”
(Rachel Segal, 2019) As such, he risked damaging America’s relatio.
Red spies in_the_un-pierre_j_huss-george_carpozi_jr-1965-297pgs-pol
This chapter describes the first documented case of Soviet espionage originating from the United Nations - the case of Valentin Gubitchev and Judith Coplon. Coplon, a Justice Department analyst, was under FBI surveillance for suspected disloyalty to the US in favor of Soviet interests. On a train ride from Washington D.C. to New York, FBI agents observed her meeting with Valentin Gubitchev, a Soviet UN employee, where she handed him classified documents. This was one of the first major cases exposing the UN as a base for Soviet spy operations.
The Operations Of The National Security Agency
The National Security Agency (NSA) has been a United States intelligence agency since 1952. It works under the Department of Defense to monitor communications and data from foreign intelligence sources around the world, including terrorist organizations. Many of the NSA's operations are secret, involving activities like electronic surveillance, phone record collection, and software hacking sanctioned by the government to protect national security. The agency uses these tactics to gather intelligence on foreign targets, though its surveillance of American citizens without warrants has also been controversial.
Intelligence Collection
Intelligence collection methods are used by U.S. intelligence agencies to gather information and protect national security. Different agencies employ various collection disciplines including signals intelligence, imagery intelligence, and human intelligence. Open source intelligence is also widely used, accounting for 80-90% of information. Intelligence collection requires balancing resources, time constraints, and the needs of different agencies to provide policymakers with needed information through diverse techniques.

This document provides a brief history of the CIA and its predecessor, the Office of Strategic Services (OSS). It describes how the OSS was founded during World War II to coordinate espionage and special operations. After the war, President Truman dissolved the OSS but recognized the continuing need for a centralized intelligence agency to address rising threats during the Cold War. This led to the creation of the CIA in 1947. The new agency absorbed functions of the OSS like espionage, covert operations, and analysis. It brought in many OSS veterans to help stand up the organization.

For this assignment, consider the NSA as an organization (i.e.,business) and Snowden as a manager. How have the decisions of this event impacted the fairness of the U.S.government, its citizens, and Snowden? How did ethics, perhaps, influence Snowden’s decision to leak information? Inthis event, what is the greater good and also the consequences/sacrifices of that greater good? Based on the details ofthis event, what can we learn about making important decisions as a leader and manager?This event was covered by several news and media organizations, so there should be plenty of articles in the library.Conduct a bit more research in the online library related to this event involving Edward Snowden and the U.S.government—see what else you can discover about the event to determine an appropriate punishment, if any, forSnowden’s conduct. Include at least one additional source from the library in your response.The purpose of this assignment is for you to think critically about managers (and other leaders) making importantdecisions, and the process managers use to make important decisions.

Proofread your work, and submit it in Blackboard for grading.Information about accessing the Blackboard Grading Rubric for this assignment is provided below.
Below is the article.
Edward J. Snowden, the thirty-year-old former National Security Agency contractor who handed over a treasure trove of classified documents about U.S. government surveillance to the Washington Post and Britain's Guardian, is a hero to some and a traitor to others. He claims to have acted out of a sense of outrage over the NSA's indiscriminate collection of the phone and internet records of Americans, decrying the danger such intrusive government oversight poses to democracy and privacy. Snowden subsequently fled to Hong Kong, and from there to Moscow. His eventual destination appears to be Ecuador, Cuba, or Venezuela.
Snowden's efforts to elude U.S. authorities cast an ambiguous light on his motives; the countries where he has sought refuge.
Notice Appealable Decisions; Legal Notice Rocky Mountain Region
The document discusses the legal authorities supporting the National Security Agency's (NSA) activities described by the President to intercept international communications into and out of the United States of persons linked to al Qaeda or related terrorist organizations. It provides background on the 9/11 terrorist attacks and Congress's authorization of force against those responsible. It argues that the NSA activities are a lawful exercise of the President's authority under Article II of the Constitution and the Authorization for Use of Military Force, and are consistent with civil liberties and statutory law such as the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act.

Article Critique
This assignment provides you with an opportunity to read an article and then to share your thoughts about the article by critiquing the details, including the decisions made.In order to access the resource below, you must first log into the myCSU Student Portal and access the AcademicOneFile database within the CSU Online Library.This article includes details and assertions about the ethical choices/decisions made by Edward J. Snowden, a formerNational Security Agency (NSA) contractor. Here is the reference citation for the article:Securing our liberty. (2013). Commonweal, 140(12), 5.After reading the article, draft a two-page response by discussing the U.S. government’s decision to acquire phone andinternet data without disclosing its intentions to citizens. For this assignment, consider the NSA as an organization (i.e.,business) and Snowden as a manager. How have the decisions of this event impacted the fairness of the U.S.government, its citizens, and Snowden? How did ethics, perhaps, influence Snowden’s decision to leak information? Inthis event, what is the greater good and also the consequences/sacrifices of that greater good? Based on the details ofthis event, what can we learn about making important decisions as a leader and manager?This event was covered by several news and media organizations, so there should be plenty of articles in the library.Conduct a bit more research in the online library related to this event involving Edward Snowden and the U.S.government—see what else you can discover about the event to determine an appropriate punishment, if any, forSnowden’s conduct. Include at least one additional source from the library in your response.The purpose of this assignment is for you to think critically about managers (and other leaders) making importantdecisions, and the process managers use to make important decisions. Consider how important it is to collect all of thefacts before making an important decision, such as those involving fairness and ethics.Use APA Style to format your response. Proofread your work, and submit it in Blackboard for grading.Information about accessing the Blackboard Grading Rubric for this assignment is provided below.
Below is the article.
Edward J. Snowden, the thirty-year-old former National Security Agency contractor who handed over a treasure trove of classified documents about U.S. government surveillance to the Washington Post and Britain's Guardian, is a hero to some and a traitor to others. He claims to have acted out of a sense of outrage over the NSA's indiscriminate collection of the phone and internet records of Americans, decrying the danger such intrusive government oversight poses to democracy and privacy. Snowden subsequently fled to Hong Kong, and from there to Moscow. His eventual destination appears to be Ecuador, Cuba, or Venezuela.
Snowden's efforts to elude U.S. authorities cast an ambiguous light on his motives; the countries where he has sought refuge.
Notice Appealable Decisions; Legal Notice Rocky Mountain Region
The document discusses the legal authorities supporting the National Security Agency's (NSA) activities described by the President to intercept international communications into and out of the United States of persons linked to al Qaeda or related terrorist organizations. It provides background on the 9/11 terrorist attacks and Congress's authorization of force against those responsible. It argues that the NSA activities are a lawful exercise of the President's authority under Article II of the Constitution and the Authorization for Use of Military Force, and are consistent with civil liberties and statutory law such as the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act.

Domestic Surveillance_ProsandCons
This document discusses the debate around national security surveillance by intelligence agencies. It presents arguments on both sides of the issue.
The pro argument is that intelligence agencies like the CIA and NSA play a vital role in national security and have helped prevent terrorist attacks since 9/11 through surveillance techniques. However, the con argument is that this surveillance infringes on Americans' right to privacy and civil liberties. Many feel their privacy is violated, and there is public mistrust of intelligence agencies due to past mistakes and covert actions. Additionally, some of this surveillance may violate the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act.
Conspirators Hierarchy: The Story of the Committee of 300, by John Coleman
This document provides an overview of a secret upper-level parallel government that controls the governments of Britain and the United States. It identifies the Committee of 300 as the ultimate power behind this secret government. It argues that this secret government operates in plain sight through public institutions like the White House and Congress, rather than in secret underground chambers. It claims this secret government is responsible for orchestrating wars, economic crises, and depopulation efforts as part of a conspiracy for a one world government.
The Conspirators' Hierarchy- The Committee of 300.pdf
This document provides an overview of a secret parallel government that controls the United States and United Kingdom. It discusses how this group, called the Committee of 300, works to advance their agenda of depopulation and a one world government through various fronts like the Club of Rome, Bilderbergers, and Royal Institute for International Affairs. As an example, it describes how the Committee of 300 orchestrated the kidnapping and murder of Italian Prime Minister Aldo Moro because he opposed their plans to deindustrialize Italy and reduce its population. The document claims this secret government acts in plain sight through figures like the British monarch and U.S. presidents.
Edward J. Snowden, the thirty-year-old former National Security Agen.docx
Edward J. Snowden, the thirty-year-old former National Security Agency contractor who handed over a treasure trove of classified documents about U.S. government surveillance to the Washington Post and Britain's Guardian, is a hero to some and a traitor to others. He claims to have acted out of a sense of outrage over the NSA's indiscriminate collection of the phone and internet records of Americans, decrying the danger such intrusive government oversight poses to democracy and privacy. Snowden subsequently fled to Hong Kong, and from there to Moscow. His eventual destination appears to be Ecuador, Cuba, or Venezuela.
Snowden's efforts to elude U.S. authorities cast an ambiguous light on his motives; the countries where he has sought refuge are not known for upholding the sort of democratic values he claims to be defending. While demanding accountability from the U.S. government, he appears to be seeking immunity for his own actions. Snowden's purposes and fate, however, should be of secondary concern. However misguided his actions may have been, they have reopened a much-needed debate about the reach and authority of what is often called the National Security State. While defending the NSA programs, even President Barack Obama seems to welcome that debate. "You can't have 100 percent security and also then have 100 percent privacy and zero inconvenience," Obama noted when asked about Snowden's leaks. "We're going to have to make some choices as a society. ... There are trade-offs involved."
Administration officials and members of Congress say the government's extensive surveillance programs are crucial to preventing terrorist attacks, and that Snowden has done real damage to efforts to keep Americans safe. Because almost all the relevant information remains classified, it is difficult to assess that claim. NSA officials have now promised to make public details of some of the dozens of terrorist plots they say the massive data-collection effort, called Prism, has helped thwart. That sort of disclosure is long overdue. Although Prism was approved by the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act court and is monitored by the intelligence committees of Congress, many Americans were shocked to learn that the government now stores their phone and internet records for possible use in future investigations. While the government is prohibited from listening to the tracked calls, it uses sophisticated algorithms to trace calling patterns. If a series of related calls seems suspicious, the NSA or FBI then gets a warrant from the FISA court to investigate further. No abuse of those procedures has come to light. Still, the mere existence of such records in the government's hands, information that might easily be exploited for political purposes, should concern every American.
It is axiomatic that fighting clandestine terrorist groups requires clandestine methods. Sources and allies must be protected; in preemptive actions the element of surprise must be prese.
