Topic: #ReleaseTheMemo (Read 160 times)
I just got off the phone with the NSA, and they said that they sent my Appeal letter to me already, which is simply not True. So they are seeing if they can send it out again.
For anyone who is not in the loop. October 2016 I asked the NSA for all records on me that Edward Snowden told us they have (From the PRISM Program), they said "We can neither Confirm nor Deny the existence of records, or else we would have to tell Terrorists things too". So then they said I could appeal, and today the Lady on the phone tried to tell me "We don't own those records" and I said "I called the NSA FOIA Liaison office, if you can't hand out records, what is your job??? Just to tell people that you don't own Records?" then I let her know that I already filed an Administrative Claim over 1 year ago now, so I have standing to sue and am simply being nice to them and have given them 2 years to correct this.
So she asked where to send the Appeal.

Btw, I am not against the FBI because they are the FBI, I am against the FBI because they are currently acting as Megalomaniacle Monsters. I would love for them to actually be a force for Good in the world, that would be great.

If you simply can't accept that Secret Societies exist, Google "Shriners Hospital for Children". Then Google "Shriners Temple in my Town".
Then watch this

If anyone thinks that when people in the Government currently are saying "There is a Secret Society in the FBI", that sounds funny, like they are putting on Waterbuffalo hats and drinking. That is where it starts, then something crazy happens, and you are all in and can't tell anyone else; like a Murder. Then you are all doing crazy things, and this is in the FBI.
I'm not saying that this group killed Scalia, but they exist. A "Secret Society of Elite Hunters"
http://people.com/sports/antonin-scalia-died-during-getaway-with-members-of-secret-hunting-society/
And if there is a group like that, making this investigation about Trump instead of Guccifer 2.0, then that is kind of serious.
I assume the FBI Secret Society is like this group, but also Mormon and “Witch Hunters” aka Jesus Police, mentally obsessed with certain things like Hoover was

Everyone thinks #ReleaseTheMemo is Partisan, but it is not. It is part of a Larger, Historical, Problem within the FBI and CIA. We have all heard "Conspiracy Theories" about "Them", but sometimes there really are people in rooms filled with Cigar Smoke (metaphorically).
Call your Congress person and tell them you want to know what your tax Dollars are paying for the FBI to do

Include facts and damages in your claim. Your administrative claim must include the exact amount of money damages you are claiming, as well as enough facts about your case to allow the federal agency to investigate the merits of your claim. Using a SF 95 form will help ensure that you've included all of the necessary information.
The agency has six months to respond. Once your claim is submitted, the federal agency has six months to rule on it. In some cases, the federal agency may "admit" your claim (that is, agree that your claim is valid) and agree to pay you some or all of the money damages you demanded, and you may not need to go to court.
You then have six months to file a lawsuit. If the federal agency rejects your claim or refuses to pay all the money damages you demanded, you have six months from the date on which the decision is mailed to you to file a lawsuit. Again, file your lawsuit as soon as possible after receiving this decision to avoid any chance of having your lawsuit dismissed as untimely.
You don't have to sue until the agency rules on your claim. If the federal agency fails to rule on your administrative claim within six months, you have the choice of either awaiting the agency's decision or going ahead with your lawsuit. As long as the federal agency is still considering your claim, there is no time limit for you to file a law suit in federal court; the six-month time limit only begins to run once the agency has ruled on your claim.
Once you have gone through the procedures listed above -- a process known as "exhausting your administrative remedies" -- you are eligible to file a lawsuit in court to pursue money damages from the government.

Government Agents must be held to a higher standard than other citizens due to the fact that they are acting under Color of Law Bivens v. Six Unknown Named Agents, 403 U.S. 388 (1971)
Color of Law
The act of a state officer, regardless of whether or not the act is within the limits of his or her authority, is considered an act under color of law if the officer purports to be conducting himself or herself in the course of official duties. Under the civil rights act of 1871 (42 U.S.C.A. Section 1983), color of law is synonymous with State Action, which is conduct by an officer that bears a sufficiently close nexus to a state so that the action is treated as though it is by the state.
Types of Police misconduct include false confession, false arrest, false evidence, false imprisonment, intimidation, police brutality, police corruption, racial profiling, surveillance abuse, witness tampering, and off-duty misconduct.
Others include:
1. Noble Cause corruption, where an officer believes that a good outcome justifies his bad behavior.
2. Selective Enforcement, allowing friends, family and other officers to break the law.
3. Abuse of Power, using the badge to get in to places you would otherwise not be invited or allowed, discounts, etc.
4. Police Perjury, blatant lying under oath and/or to other authorities to cover wrongdoing.
5. Violation by Officers of police procedural policy.
Laws intended to protect against abuse of authority include the 4th Amendment to the Constitution, which prohibits unreasonable searches and seizures; the 14th Amendment to the Constitution, which includes due process and equal protection clauses; the Civil Rights Act of 1871; and the Federal Tort Claims Act.
Noble Cause corruption:
Corruption caused by the adherence to a teleological ethical system (ex: By their fruits you shall know them; pulling over anyone with larger rims on their car), suggesting that the person "will utilize unethical, and sometimes illegal, means to obtain a desired result," a result which appears to benefit the greater good.

Government Agents must be held to a higher standard than other citizens due to the fact that they are acting under Color of Law Bivens v. Six Unknown Named Agents, 403 U.S. 388 (1971)
Color of Law
The act of a state officer, regardless of whether or not the act is within the limits of his or her authority, is considered an act under color of law if the officer purports to be conducting himself or herself in the course of official duties. Under the civil rights act of 1871 (42 U.S.C.A. Section 1983), color of law is synonymous with State Action, which is conduct by an officer that bears a sufficiently close nexus to a state so that the action is treated as though it is by the state.
Types of Police misconduct include false confession, false arrest, false evidence, false imprisonment, intimidation, police brutality, police corruption, racial profiling, surveillance abuse, witness tampering, and off-duty misconduct.
Others include:
1. Noble Cause corruption, where an officer believes that a good outcome justifies his bad behavior.
2. Selective Enforcement, allowing friends, family and other officers to break the law.
3. Abuse of Power, using the badge to get in to places you would otherwise not be invited or allowed, discounts, etc.
4. Police Perjury, blatant lying under oath and/or to other authorities to cover wrongdoing.
5. Violation by Officers of police procedural policy.
Laws intended to protect against abuse of authority include the 4th Amendment to the Constitution, which prohibits unreasonable searches and seizures; the 14th Amendment to the Constitution, which includes due process and equal protection clauses; the Civil Rights Act of 1871; and the Federal Tort Claims Act.
Noble Cause corruption:
Corruption caused by the adherence to a teleological ethical system (ex: By their fruits you shall know them; pulling over anyone with larger rims on their car), suggesting that the person "will utilize unethical, and sometimes illegal, means to obtain a desired result," a result which appears to benefit the greater good.
