Inadequate Safety Data – If there isn’t enough efficacy data, safety data is also lacking. ", "Among black programs, further distinction is made for "waived" programs, considered to be so sensitive that they are exempt from standard reporting requirements to the Congress. It's a total and complete peacetime psywar program: bogus information, bogus conclusions, sketchy research, all leading to more controlled opposition debate to simulate a free and open society. These regular USAPs are reported in the same manner as their acknowledged versions. For example, a secret SAP with the nickname MEDIAN BELL would be marked SECRET//SPECIAL ACCESS REQUIRED-MEDIAN BELL. In addition to collateral controls, a SAP may impose more stringent investigative or adjudicative requirements, specialized nondisclosure agreements, special terminology or markings, exclusion from standard contract investigations (carve-outs), and centralized billet systems. Then there's the F-35, the so-called "successor" to the F-22. For example, those with SAP access have clearances at the SECRET and TOP SECRET levels. According to a 1997 Senate investigation: There are two versions of the Unacknowledged Special Access Programs. The current investigation backlog has resulted in more than thirty thousand "out-of- scope" investigations for Special Access Program (SAP)-cleared personnel which has placed a strain on operations and security personnel across the Department. There are plenty of other examples of significant cost overruns. Gerald Ford class carriers and stealth airplanes as the B-2, B-21/B-3, F-22 and F-35 to be the equivalent of producing some of the most beautiful art around. This TS-SCI clearance has been introduced mainly to stop high ranking officers from looking into Top Secret files they don't have any business with. Over the course of a decade, development costs doubled from $13 to $26 billion and (real) unit costs from $149 million each to $412 million. It is possible that A691 is a sub-sub-compartment of D722, or vice versa. "Liberal CIA": NGOs, media, activism, etc. However, the F-35 in particular appears to be too high-tech (and therefore expensive and delayed) for America's good and too much a one-size-fits-all, with too many corporate and political interests attached to it. For the vast majority of cases, if not all, projects are based on well known white world technology. To begin this new effort of looking into of the type of programs going on within the official bureaucracy of the military and its private contractors, let's take a look at the official classification system of the United States. Waived SAPs are a subset of unacknowledged SAPs in the Department of Defense. They are not allowed to react with a "no comment", because that would immediately fuel suspicions that something is being hidden and is likely to cause further inquiries. [25] Who knows, maybe things will change, to a degree... eventually, because, let's face it, what McCain and Trump are saying, has been said since at least the 1970s. All the apparent waste, inefficiency and corruption going on at the Pentagon - much apparently linked to defense contractors - only weaken the United States. Among his closest associates is Rob Weiss, the recently retired executive vice president and general manager of Lockheed Skunkworks. Programs that just about anybody can guess because of super-extensive defense development reporting? Herben used to work for the Dutch Ministry of Defense, was a rabid air force enthusiast, knew the chiefs of the air force very well, and had been pushing his party members relentlessly to vote in favor of the F-35 program. Just because someone has a Top Secret clearance doesn't mean this person can gain access to all the different Top Secret documents of the intelligence agencies. That's only a small part of the entire Pentagon budget. One thinks Congress or someone in the know would speak up. The investigation focuses on your character and conduct, emphasizing such factors as honesty, trustworthiness, reliability, financial responsibility, criminal activity, emotional stability, and other pertinent areas. [5][6], Two types of SAP exist—acknowledged and unacknowledged. But even the TS-SCI clearance doesn't provide the secrecy needed for some of the most sensitive projects. So, is this the state of Special Access Programs and Unacknowledged Special Access Programs of the United States in the 21st century? And where did these top NSA executives end up with? Beyond Visual Range that most likely will be very different, however. PJ Det 8/OL-B is an operating location of its parent detachment located in Westlake, TX, and is located in Building 1 on Kelly Field. Then again, the Pentagon is very Republican and very conservative by nature, so it's hard to expect much cooperation from its bureaucracy. It also allows China to slowly learn from the master, catch up, and if all goes well, surpass it. Conversely, not all those cleared for SECRET and TOP SECRET have access to SAP information. It's a site that is a gigantic money drain, because it only deals with the truth, or at the very least honest analyses. This is not a site that tries to survive by being politically correct. It's an interesting detail to have that these programs too began as unacknowledged special access programs. 5 1.5 When is an investigation likely to be appropriate? In 2001 Insight Magazine put these numbers best in perspective when it wrote: On average the Pentagon couldn't account for about 25% of its annual budget. How could I forget: in the past there has been speculation about the non-existent "death bed" confession of Lockheed Skunkworks founder Ben Rich about star travel technologies "locked up in black projects". All Special Access Programs are subject to federal and defense acquisition regulations. As Obama's secretary of state, Clinton, against protocol, maintained a private mailbox full of information on all kinds of Special Access Programs. A program to help foreign students succeed at U.S. universities has sometimes offered another perk: a sneak peek at the ACT college entrance exam, Reuters found A: For access to some classified information, such as Sensitive Compartmented Information (SCI) or Special Access Programs (SAPS), additional requirements or special conditions may be imposed by the information owner even if the person is otherwise eligible to be granted a security clearance or access authorization based on reciprocity. Crime Scene preservation is paramount in any investigation. Defense Department sources usually state that it is,[11] and at least one publication refers to a separate SCI-SAP category alongside the three listed above. Sub-sub-compartments are listed in the same manner as sub-compartments. The United States can't do this alone. Outsiders simply can't get to the story, while insiders cannot speak out due to national security laws. One wonders how individuals with a background like this, could ever run for the presidency of the United States. It made research a whole lot easier to focus. Portion markings use SAR and the program's abbreviation. Abbreviations may be used for either element. These are unofficially referred to as deep black programs. DeLonge's To The Stars Academy actually is privately-funded incarnation of the Pentagon's Advanced Aviation Threat Identification Program, a semi-secret UFO investigation project that ran from 2007 to 2012. Why? [8][9], There are three categories of SAPs within the Department of Defense:[10], Only the Director of National Intelligence may create IN-SAPs. [2], After the conclusion of World War II, President Harry S. Truman issues Executive order 10104, and creates the "Top Secret classification" designation. If you can save $50 or even $100 billion every year from the defense budget by managing it very efficiently and bring down the national debt, in the long run that might well be the difference between economic prosperity or the economic destruction of the United States. Security state & Google harassment of ISGP, The Black Dragon Society: Japanese fascism. ', January 29, 2002, CBS News, 'The War on Waste - Defense Department Cannot Account For 25% Of Funds — $2.3 Trillion' [, April 29, 2002, Insight Magazine, 'Government Fails Fiscal Fitness Test' [, May 18, 2003, San Francisco Chronicle, 'Military waste under fire - $1 trillion missing -- Bush plan targets Pentagon accounting' [, May 19, 2003, CBS, 'Pentagon Fights For (Its) Freedom' [, May 22, 2003, The Guardian, 'So much for the peace dividend: Pentagon is winning the battle for a $400bn budget' [. SAP documents require special marking to indicate their status. Canada, Australia, Great Britain, Japan, South Korea and the European Union will all have to chip in. Little to nothing of this is true. Cost overruns actually are a very long-standing problem, going back further than the 1985 President's Blue Ribbon Commission on Defense Management and the $600 toilet seats it investigated. [, June 25, 2001, Insight Magazine, 'THE CABINET - Inside HUD's Financial Fiasco' [, September 3, 2001, Insight Magazine, 'Rumsfeld Inherits Financial Mess' [, *) July 30, 1986, Los Angeles Times, '$37 screws, a $7,622 coffee maker, $640 toilet seats; suppliers to our military just won't be oversold. Truly effective military development USAPs might hardly exist. Shortly before America's involvement in World War II Franklin D. Roosevelt signs Executive Order 8381, creating the three security levels for his country's most important documents- Restricted, Confidential, and Secret. And it appears the same is happening with regard to the so-called military-industrial complex that is thriving because of it. dtic.mil/whs/directives/corres/pdf/522022msup1_0295/cp3.pdf (accessed: May 28, 2005) (Defense Technical Information Center (DTIC), 'National Industrial Security Program Operating Manual Supplement' (part of a (badly) scanned DOD manual)): 1997, Senate Document 105-2, 'Report of the Commission on Protecting and Reducing Government Secrecy' [, January 5, 2000, Jane's Defense Weekly, 'In Search of the Pentagon's Billion Dollar Hidden Budgets' [, September 28, 2001, Insight Magazine, 'Wasted Riches' [, Sun Valley: media, tech, Trilateral-CIA past. VI. It might be important to note that USAPs, or (deep) black programs, not always have to involve the development of new cutting edge technology. That would be to have the biggest economy on the planet by a wide margin, so that no other country has the financial ability to reproduce domestically-produced high technology that came at a very high cost. In other words, maybe we need to stay away from protesting the concept of SAPs and USAPs and instead focus on the Pentagon cleaning up its books and severing the ties between the Department of Defense bureaucracy and the boards of major defense contractors. It's a very smart tactic. The hype around America's black programs first emerged in the early 1980s amidst Roswell UFO crash retrieval disinformation, later followed by the first evidence of revolutionary stealth planes as the F-117 and B-2. We can't really deduce much from this. The F-22 stealth fighter initially was supposed to replace the entire aging F-15 fleet. An unacknowledged SAP (or USAP) is made known only to authorized persons, including members of the appropriate committees of the United States Congress. Ultimately we should be focusing on building a transparent, stable society with economies so large that no undemocratic country in the world will be able to compete with us militarily - and thus threaten our existence. Because congress doesn't have the necessary security for storage of highly sensitive data. Bizarrely, a certain Matt Herben managed to weasel his way into Fortuyn's party, amidst accusations of blackmail against Fortuyn, and became the dominant player after Fortuyn was killed. Extraordinary rendition and JSOC assassinations. SAPCO, investigations, audits or inspections of DHS Special Access Programs. February 2, 2016, Defenseone.com, 'The F-35’s Terrifying Bug List'. Trump, Bernie Sanders, Ralph Nader, Ross Perot and all his Reform Party boys (including Trump in 2000 and Nader in 2004) fall in the latter category. Previously, the personnel requirements for SAP were: “Current investigative scope within 5 years. Most SAPs start out as Unacknowledged Special Access Programs (USAP), better known as black projects. Unfortunately, that program was inspired by Bob Bigelow, a major decades-long UFO disinformation financier, who received the majority of the $22 million Pentagon program. Some take their knowledge back to China to help copy Russian and American military hardware. Guests of the scammy million dollar radio show Coast to Coast AM network of national security scrolls had also picked up on these deficits, (falsely) claiming that hundreds of billions of missing dollars most likely were diverted to secret space programs. And it isn't until at least 2020 that the F-22 gets a Helmet Mounted Sight (HMS), a piece of technology that has been the norm around the world since the early 1980s when Russian jets were decimated by western jets who had this technology. Gradually Tom DeLonge has begun to take over from Greer as a leading UFO guru with a similar network of "deep state" contacts. Most likely, but we don't know that answer for certain. [17] Other variations move the special access warning to a second line, which would read MEDIAN BELL Special Control and Access Required (SCAR) Use Only or some other phrase directed by the program security instructions.[18]. Together these countries contain almost three billion citizens, more than twice that of the West. And even then China might be able to compete, not to mention India in the long run. The Electronic Questionnaires for Investigations Processing (e-QIP) system is a web-based automated system, owned by the National Background Investigations Bureau (NBIB) and mandated for federal government use, that facilitates the processing of standard investigative forms used when conducting background investigations for Federal security, suitability, fitness, and credentialing purposes. Sensitive Compartmented Information (SCI) control systems may be the most well-known intelligence SAPs. Luckily for the West though, due to the primitive and dictatorial nature of communist regimes, the economic policy of China is even more reckless' than America's. This memo provides two But this doesn't matter, as the true power of the classification system is the famous "need to know" policy. Beginning in 1996, the first year the Pentagon was forced to audit its books, renewed criticism on DOD spending began to arise. [11]. [22] Maybe no project signifies that better than the F-35, about which skepticism and outright false statements about its capabilities have existed since the very beginning. All of it involved compromises to speed up the jet's development. Is that possible? It appears so, at least when it comes to weapons development. It saves China giant amounts of R&D costs. Nobody really asks the important questions. In other words, nothing much can be concluded about these programs. Sure, I'd love to think there's a nuclear-powered, vector-thrusted jet out there that can reach all the way into space. a. They should have a lifetime restriction." In the most sensitive military projects insiders intending to make unauthorized disclosures can find themselves in jail for life or risk assassination, certainly if these individuals are looking to contact enemy governments. The most problematic version of all would be blatant corruption by scrapping cheap programs that work and replace them with giant boondoggles just for corporate profit. *) July 21, 2016, Daily News, 'Navy’s most expensive warship ever years behind schedule and still not ready for warfare, memo shows'. It wasn't until mid 2016, for example, that the F-22 finally was able to carry a modern AIM-9X missile. While an investigation should be completed as quickly as possible, it always needs to be From 1998 to 2002 each year between $1 trillion and $3.4 trillion was reported unaccounted for. Even the idea that everything will be fine as long as the president is kept informed is very questionable based on the fact that no one becomes president who has not beforehand been vetted by liberal or conservative factions within the superclass, whether they are a tier 1 official candidate or a tier 2 or tier 3 controlled opposition asset. Also, the problem has existed before and since 9/11. 7 2. 4.2 The control of a scene of a major incident/investigation will fall to the CSM at the earliest opportunity, once allocated by the Senior Investigating Officer (SIO). April 27, 2016, CNN, 'John McCain: F-35 is 'a scandal and a tragedy''. Apart from finding truth in allegations of special access and treatment to certain individuals and parties, investigations also revealed Mayorkas, who served as the director of the US Citizenship and Immigration Services until 2013, created special processes and made arbitrary revisions to policies applicable to the EB-5 program to accommodate interests of specific parties. We just demonstrated that. Examples of all these different agencies would be the FBI, CIA, DIA, NSA, ONI, NRO, INSCOM, and AFOSI. Back in 2004, for example, Seymour Hersh reported on a USAP that was set up to circumvent national and international humanitarian laws: Since this 2004 exposé, the world has learned a lot about the CIA's extraordinary rendition programs to torture terrorist suspects, about JSOC drones and assassination teams, the role Blackwater USA in it, and how the Bush administration secretly set it all up. And with that China will be able to outspent the United States several times over in military spending, research & development, black programs, political influence, covert operations and everything else. The fact that black programs revolve around known white world technology combined with a free western media that reveals just about every detail on upcoming military technology there is to know, comes with the problem that it is rather easy for countries "competing" with the West to copy the technology or develop counter-measures against it at a very early stage. The following national or international SAPs, unless otherwise noted, are identified in 32 CFR 154.17: For programs that provide access to unapproved medical treatments, see, Authorized Classification and Control Markings Register v1.2, p. 9, Intelligence Community Authorized Classification and Control Markings Register and Manual, v5.1, p. 67-68. The scandal, along with the parallel accusations against other defense corporations (Northrop and Grumman), also knew a number of curious deaths and assassination attempts, including one on Kodama. The words SPECIAL ACCESS REQUIRED, followed by the program nickname or codeword, are placed in the document's banner line. In fact, not just Rob Weiss is helping DeLonge. SAPs can range from black projects to routine but especially-sensitive operations, such as COMSEC maintenance or presidential transportation support. A less severe version would be the scenario painted by Admiral Hyman Rickover in the mid 1970s, namely that defense corporations have a tendency to initially underprice programs and then compensate later on by disproportionally raising the price. Literally within a few hours one can learn everything about exoskeletons, high-tech swimming gear for special forces, drones, lasers, railguns, stealth, anti-stealth long-wave infrared spectrum sensors, the theory behind stealth-defeating quantum radars, the intricacies of past and present carrier designs - you name it.
