Innocent
Targeted Individuals were hit with another blow this week, allowing for any American citizen to be targeted for a lethal drone strike,
according to the House Intelligence Committee that passed a bill Thursday.
If you see something, say nothing or be targeted
Despite global outcry over the United States
National Security Agency's sweeping spying and targeted killings human rights abuses,
rather than the congressional House Intelligence Committee tightening
oversight and ensuring transparency this week, it did the opposite.
The committee approved legislation Thursday for ongoing secrecy and other
human rights violations targeting innocent individuals by the National Security Agency (
NSA) and other intelligence agencies.
This implies that it includes those agencies' private contractors, numbering at least 500,000 individuals.
Most Targeted Individuals (TIs) are whistleblowers, rights workers,
or people who attempted to say "No" to corporate control in their
personal or professional lives, according to emails they send to this
author and their web reports.
Referring to those being persecuted, former United States Marine
Corps Criminal Investigator, Secret Service and FBI Intelligence
contractor William Taylor PI
told this author, "These [targets] are the finest of Americans. The greatest people are being hurt the most."
Since 2005, when this reporter began
publishing accounts of self-identified Targeted Individuals (TIs),
most readers and colleagues asserted in disbelief that it would be
impossible for enough spies to harm as many TIs as estimated: 350,000 in
the U.S. alone, persecuted to the point of their lives being ruined.

As the U.S. Federal Gestapo spy scandal grows, TI deniers (family
members and friends) are seeing just how possible it is to target that
many people.
The
Associated Press reported
in June that over 500,000 employees of private firms alone have access
to "government's most sensitive secrets." Those are secrets that
corporations and government are keeping from other Americans, but not
those paid to covertly stalk, harass, intimidate, destroy possessions
and injure bodies and minds.
Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) presented two amendments to tighten
oversight of the government's drone program. The committee rejected
both.
Schiff's first amendment would have required annual reports on deaths in drone strikes.
Schiff's other amendment would have required an independent review
before any American citizen could be targeted for a lethal strike.
The new bill includes $75 million more to combat "insider threats."
"Insider threats" today include those exposing corporate and government criminal human rights violations.
By reauthorizing the NSA, its multitude of "other intelligence
agencies" and their private contractors hired to target individuals,
Congress as a whole has again proven to be working for the fascist
controlling cabal.
This week's new bill follows leaks of classified information by former NSA contractor
Edward Snowden. It makes a mockery of the Homeland Security and FBI mantra, "If you see something, say something."
"I was not prepared for the events that followed my years of
outspoken advocacy," says former Wilmington council woman, Katherine
Moore.
"Unfortunately, the community of unlawful public servants is
rich, powerful, and affluent. The power reaches from the local court
house to the federal halls of justice, and God help anyone who gets in
their way."
Like most innocent Targeted Individuals, Moore learned what Edward
Snowden, Julian Assange, Chelsea Manning and tens of thousands of other
individuals who suffer in silence have learned through first hand
experience: If you see criminals committing human right abuses, say
nothing - or be targeted by unknown corporate government assets
protecting the criminals.
"I would soon learn that these people would resort to any means
necessary to remain anonymous, including, harassment, intimidation, and
character assassination," Moore says. "They destroyed anyone who dared
to question their crimes. I dared. I paid dearly."
What were Moore's actions that were deserving of her being placed on
the target list? She was publicly revealing that her beloved city had
become a haven for pedophiles.
A Wilmington businesswoman was found guilty of fifty-five counts of sexual harassment, some of those victims including children.
"Our former police chief , Bob Wadman, was the subject of a book,
The Franklin Cover-Up,
written by former Nebraska State Senator, John W DeCamp, which accused
him of numerous crimes against children," Moore says. "I became
embroiled in the world of pedophiles when a parent asked me to help her
get a copy of a police report that she filed following the molestation
of her twelve-year-old son by the Executive Director of an after school
program funded by the City."
Moore is presently writing a book about Targeted Individuals, including her personal experiences.
Are Moore, Snowden and Assange among those who could be secretly
targeted for a drone strike? According to Congress, such persons are
"insider threats."
Rather than fostering human rights, Congress continues to send a loud
and clear public warning: If you see something, say nothing.
