Recent reports indicate that a number of government documents have been
posted on the WikiLeaks website. These documents may or may not contain
information that is considered National Security Information (classified
information) and as such, the information is NOT authorized for
downloading, viewing, printing, processing, copying, or transmitting via
non-classified Government-issued computers, laptops, blackberries, or
other communication devices and is not an authorized use of DOC IT
equipment. Doing so would introduce potentially classified information
onto our unclassified networks and represent a potential security
incident.

There has been a rumor that the information is no longer classified since
it resides in the public domain. This is NOT true. Executive Order
13526, Section I.1(4)(2) states "Classified Information shall not be
declassified automatically as a result of any unauthorized disclosure of
identical or similar information." The information was neither properly
nor improperly "declassified" by the appropriate authority and requires
continued classification or reclassification.

Please do not attempt to access any of the WikiLeaks documents via the
WikiLeaks website or through other websites hosting those documents
because these documents may contain classified information. Accessing the
WikiLeaks documents will lead to sanitization of your PC to remove any
potentially classified information from the system and result in possible
data loss.

If you have questions regarding this broadcast or have accessed the
WikiLeaks documents, please contact the DOC Computer Incident Response
Team at email doc-cirt@doc.gov or call (202) 482-4000.

So, that means they can't read The New York Times too?

[Ed Jewett]

Yes, precisely.





But, deep inside an underground cavern inside an uncharted island in the Tasman Sea, memos are being written, craftily counterfeited and transmitted surreptitiously to office printers throughout the Empire which remand prior directives and expressly permit -- no, invite and recommend -- that personnel dedicate their Sunday afternoons to study and reading at a web site at the following address: http://deeppoliticsforum.com/

Wikileaks founder Julian Assange has close links to the Economist, controlled by the Rothschild banking family.
This bears more scrutiny, I would like some comments before sending this any further. We asked earlier in the week about Wikileaks possibly being a conduit for disinformation. I’m not familiar with this site.

Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has once more reiterated that she will not run for president in 2012, going so far as to refer to her current role in government as "my last public position."

At a town hall meeting appearance in Manama, Bahrain on Friday, Clinton denied intentions to run for either president or vice president on the ticket with President Obama, who defeated her in the 2008 Democratic presidential primary. Some experts have also speculated that she could replace Robert Gates next year when he retires as secretary of defense.
"I think I will serve as secretary of state as my last public position," she said. Clinton's career has included not only her current position as secretary of state, but also eight years in the Senate representing New York.
Clinton has repeatedly laughed off rumors that she may seek the highest office in the country, and she was notably out of the country during the midterm elections when Democrats lost control of the House.
When her current position is over, Clinton "would like to continue working to improve lives for others," she said, adding that she will "probably go back to advocacy work, particularly on women and children and probably around the world." This marks the first time Clinton has publicly discussed alternatives to political office in her future.
In returning to advocacy work, she could follow in the footsteps of her husband and former President Bill Clinton, who has largely turned to humanitarian work through his Clinton Foundation since leaving the White House.
Mrs. Clinton has formerly worked extensively for the rights of women and children. She went on to note that while she has had a "fascinating and rewarding public career," she particularly enjoyed her time as a lawyer for the Children's Defense Fund, which advocates for abused and neglected children, as well as her women's rights work, according to Reuters.
"I feel very lucky because of my parents and then my education, the opportunities that I've had, so I would like to continue working to improve lives for others," she added.
In addition to personal passions, Clinton also noted the strain of the job of president as a deterrent towards seeking further election.
"Every president, if you watch what they look like when they come into office, you can see their hair turn white because it's such a hard job," she said.

If she really wants to do something humanitarian she can stay away from all people when she retires.
