DHS Secretary OK With Cybersecurity Executive Order, Claims She Doesn’t Use Email


JanetNapolitano2Apparently Department of Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano is OK with an unconstitutional executive order by Barack Obama that would put in place cybersecurity measures that the U.S. Senate voted down. At a cybersecurity summit hosted by National Journal in Washington, D.C. on Friday, she claims that she does not use email at all.

When asked whether she integrated it into her life, and did she take special security measures, had an iTunes account or Amazon account and used various passwords, ‘Big Sis’ answered, “Don’t laugh, but I just don’t use email at all.”

When she was asked whether she doesn’t use email because it was “too time-consuming” or “for security purposes,” Napolitano answered, “For a whole host of reasons. So I don’t have of my own accounts, and … I’m very secure.”

The interviewer, Shane Harris, who is a senior writer for the Washingtonian, responded, “Yeah, you’re off the grid.

“Some would call me a Luddite, but that’s my own personal choice, and I’m very unique in that regard,” Napolitano said. A Luddite is someone who is opposed to any new technology.

The interview concluded with Harris saying exactly what we are all thinking, “especially in Washington.”

Does anyone actually buy into the fact that Napolitano does not use some form of email? I would think it was mandatory in the office she holds. I could be wrong, but apparently she is OK with Barack Obama using executive order to stifle our security and begin the federal government’s power grab on the internet. Just last week she testified before hte Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Government Affairs and said the executive order was “close to completion. She said, “DHS is the Federal government’s lead agency for securing civilian government computer systems and works with our industry and Federal, state, local, tribal, and territorial government partners to secure critical infrastructure and information systems.”

What the committee should have done was demand they cease and desist the EO as only Congress has authority to write legislation, not the executive branch, but they didn’t do it. Now we are expected to just roll over and allow the Obama administration to just do more of what they want, the Constitution and the people be damned.

    Is CISPA A Government Trojan Horse?

    U.S.
    Government Can Use CISPA Internet Spying To Control and Forfeit
    Businesses—Seize Your Property:

    CISPA:
    The Cyber Information Sharing and Protection Act if passed by Congress would
    allow U.S. Spy and other government agencies to share Americans’ confidential
    Internet and other information with Government Certified Self Protected Cyber
    Entities, Certified Cyber Entity Employees and Elements in both government and
    private sectors to help protect them—against Cyber threats.

    However—CISPA
    would also allow Government agencies, police and government quasi/contractors
    (WITHOUT WARRANTS) OR LIABILITY to take out of context—any innocent hastily
    written email, fax or other Internet activity to allege a crime or violation
    was committed to cause a person’s arrest, assess fines or civilly forfeit a
    business or person’s property.

    Government
    can use CISPA to (certify any Self Protected Cyber Entity or their employee—to
    spy on their employers and clients: (CIVIL Asset Forfeiture Incentive). U.S.
    Government is not prohibited from paying any Government Certified Cyber Self
    Protected Entity or Employee; or Element part of government forfeited assets or
    other compensation that result from the aforementioned providing U.S.
    Government a corporation’s or clients’ private/confidential information—that
    (now) require a warrant or court order. Federal. Government currently contracts
    on a fee/commission-sharing basis with Self Protected Cyber Entities, Elements
    and Contractors that have security clearances to participate in facilitating
    arrests and Government asset forfeitures. It is expected U.S. Government,
    police and private contractors’—Civil Asset Forfeiture of Americans’ property
    will greatly escalate if CISPA is passed allowing Government certified private
    cyber entities and their employees—No Warrant Searches of persons’ and
    Businesses’ confidential Internet Information—that can be handed over to the
    government e.g. private emails, faxes, phone and transmitted files for
    investigation, prosecution and asset forfeiture—circumventing the Fourth
    Amendment.

    CISPA
    Internet Spying: Since CISPA was passed by the House, two additional
    cyber-security bills have been created in the Senate called, “The Cyber
    Security Act of 2012” and “SECURE IT Act”. Both bills appear unconstitutional;
    appear designed to circumvent the Fourth Amendment and public Freedom of
    Information Requests. The Cyber Security Act of 2012 formally known as S. 2105
    was created by Senate Democrats, Joe Lieberman and Susan Collins. Similar to
    CISPA, the Cyber security Act of 2012 would abolish legal walls that stop
    Federal government and private companies sharing information. The SECURE IT
    ACT: S.2151 was introduced by Senate Republicans on March 1st 2012: would (require)
    federal contractors to alert government about any cyber threats, forcing such
    communications between government regulators and corporations. The SECURE IT
    Act authorizes sharing of persons’ private Internet information (without a
    warrant) going beyond what is necessary to report a believed cyber threat.
    SECURE It Act fails to create a regulatory system at the Federal level to
    oversee cyber-security threats opening the door for persons’ and businesses’
    confidential information to be misused and misappropriated by government
    agencies and private sector government certified cyber entities.

    Under
    CISPA: Government should be prohibited from using so-call (Certified Self
    Protected Cyber Entities, their Employees) and Elements to circumvent the
    Fourth Amendment; escape Public Freedom of Information Requests. CORRUPTED:
    Government Certified Self Protected Cyber Entities and Employees, U.S.
    Government Agencies, Contractors and Police too easily may use someone’s
    confidential Internet Information, e.g. transmitted files and private emails
    collected (without warrants) to extort Americans, corporations, politicians;
    for compensation target a businesses’ competitor; or sell private information
    gleaned from warrant-less Internet Surveillance.

    If
    CISPA is passed allowing (NO Warrant) private self-protected cyber entity
    spying, some Internet writers and political activists might be dead-meat under
    NDAA. Americans” who write on the Internet or verbally express an opinion
    against any entity of U.S. Government or its coalition partners—support causes
    contrary to the U.S. Government’s position may under The Defense Authorization
    Act of 2012—be deemed by U.S. Government (someone likely to engage in, support
    or provoke violent acts or threaten National Security)— or (Belligerent) to
    order an American writer or activist’s indefinite prison detention.

    Big Sis is the “Martin Borman” of Obama’s Administration, and would happily and blindly follow that clueless fraud’s mandates without question. She is just another angry Lesbian who has some kind of hate going for traditional values, the American way of life, and the concept of freedom for all American citizens. I have no doubt she could send “enemies” of this administration to the concentration camps she has approved and that have already been constructed (and are waiting to be filled) around the coountry, and eat a tuna sandwich at the same time!! As long as the “Regime” stays in power, and they heve their freedom, and control over the citizens of America, everyone else can “go hunt hunt rabbits”, as my grandfather would say. Just remember, we have 435 Congressmen and women; 100 Senators, a President and Vice President making decisions for the lives of 350 million citizens of this country!!!!! They, and clowns like the diesel dyke Napalitano, work for us, and we need to scrutinize every last decision these power hungry, self serving rats make, because they are, and will continue to affect our way of life in the years to come!!!

    Excuses excuses all the time.Securities not One of Obama’s qualities as he has opened the borders for illegals (like himself) and could care less about protecting the PEOPLE. The more of us that are murdered by these built-in measures is just one way HE won’t need to do it himself. The only persons he wants protected are himself and his family. To Hell with us and ours. Just think when he pl;ays golf he has about 22 armed guards looking out for him, and is protected by G-men everywhere he and his cronies and wife and kiddeis go as well. NOT to mention the planes and the gasoline. when he goes anywhere.
    It’s all for himself and the only other important measure is how he intends to kill us all. and the Israelites as well. This narcisstic Marxist is the worst mistake made in world history and the USA is being downsized in all other protection as well. Such as cut the military down to a few gays, stop production of any ships,, planes, guns and amunition while he stokepes HIS supply of artilary and amunition to build up his various private protectors to use when he declares Martial law and all the police in every single city and village are to work for MR spend -thrift himself. He is very paranoid about his own protection as he well shoul be. But if Mr Hussein Obama is intended to be assassinated it will make him go quietly without any fanfairs or tributes, The whole planet would breath one big breath of relief.. A veritable wind storm.
    I hope he is going to be impeached before such thing and deported to Gitmo.
    WHAT SAY YOU??.

  • FuzzyGuy

    This is an example of another of the totally incompetent people appointed by a total incompetent himself. This idiot and the crook Eric Holder should be immediately FIRED.

  • tryingtomakeit

    We cannot stop it if our own elected representatives will not stop Obama from making this government a dicatorship!

  • wolfd

    cyberggedon is stupid…. so is the fear based bs propaganda against the internet. They just keep selling the threat. The one that does not exist. If a power grid is so vulnerable simply pull the little prong out of the wall… Boom.. internet threat all done.. DUH… but I know it is bigger than that… they want to shelve history and keep information on the down low. Heaven forbid you read up on some intel that confirms the assassination of JFK was carried out by the banks puppets.

    The video cliip does not seem to be available. Also, I could not open this story when it came to my email inbox a little bit ago. Tried with IE and Google browsers. Instead I had to click on your main website to read this story! Also, can anyone tell me why I saw Sen. Joe Liebermann on C-Span repeatedly and directly recommending several times to “Big Sis” that if they Cybersecurity does not pass through congress, he kept suggesting using an Executive Order and he kep mentioning Lame Duck as well. Why would he be suggesting this to Janet Napolitano at all? Was he one of the ones who was possibly for the Cybersecurity measures mentioned here that the Senate voted against??? I was appalled. It was some sort of security meeting that was aired on C-Span a few weeks ago. My question, whose side is he on???

    It is like the fisherman who goes to the market and tells them to throw the fish to him. Yes he caught it. It is true, but by leaving out vital information, the intent is to mislead. She most likely uses her employees to do all of her emails. But that is not what bothers me. So, if she does not have a bank account, she will not care about bank robbers? If she does not have a credit score, she will not care about ID theft? I bet she communicates with two cans of alpo connected with a string.

    Talk about CYA! If she doesn’t have an electronic or paper mail, what does she use???? Smoke signals?

    …..yea RIGHT!……this female “GESTAPO” chief is not ONLY off the grid…………..SHE is ‘off her rocker’……….what should be expected of the ‘REICHSFUHRER’ NObama but the BEST of the best in his ‘Rise/Fall of the Fourth REICH’?……………….really feel SORRY for today’s ameriKa and ALL it has ‘come DOWN’ to……………………………………

    Somebody should take his executive order away from him, he is abusing it! Theres got to be a way, just nobody wants to do it.

    • Dingbat36

      If (pray it happens) Romney and Ryan are elected, I predict a wholesale nullification of Obama’s executive orders. It would be poetic justice if it were done by just ONE executive order!!

  • ROMEGAS

    Mr. Janet Napolitano, is with the powerful elite , the king and princes of our once Democratic Republic. So, of course, she is not worried about any laws or rules enacted against WE THE PEOPLE, her peons.. The day is soon coming. Guillotines are easy to build. This country’s millions of conservative combatants are watching all that’s happening to our once great country.

    • Les

      There is no such thing as a Democratic Republic. Democracy is Mobocracy, 2 wolves and a sheep voting for dinner. 51% can make life miserable for the other 49%. A Republic is all about the rule of law, our Republic died just before Lincoln did.

    • ROMEGAS

      You have just proved my statement true. 5!% are NOT paying taxes and making life hell for the rest of us. Thnak you.

    • Dingbat36

      This government is a Representative Republic. Amazing how few peiple have any grasp of that!

    • ROMEGAS

      IT USED TO BE THAT ……it is now what it really is: A DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC…it has been for many decades…..that’s reality……..wake up and smell the coffee.

  • DRLJR

    She is obviously a liar. And Since Mr Obama is not a natural born citizen nothing he does is legitimate or constitutional. And way too many Judges have violated their oath of office and allowed him to continue to pretend to be President. A natural born citizen is a person born in the country of parents who are citizens. Anyone who takes the time to look for the definition will find it referenced historical and by the Supreme Court from at last 1814 to 1939. Note – not defined but the actual meaning of the term as used in the Constitution referenced. And Amendment 14 did not change the meaning of the term. Mr Obama has publicly stated his father is and was a foreign national at the time of his birth thus admitting he is not eligible to act as President. If people do not want us to go the way of Venezuela people had better wake up.

    • Glenn HENDRIKSEN

      DRLJR…………………….be ADVISED!……ameriKans will NEVER wake up…..it IS way TOO late….IT IS OVER BASICALLY……….ameriKa will go the WAY of WHAT it ‘was NEVER meant to be’…………ameriKa will “FALL” as did the Roman Empire……..ONLY a matter of time (running out)……………………………..

    • Stan

      Apparently that does not matter any more. They forgot to name an enforcement agency. Im surprised the founding fathers did not see that the ruling party would not let impeachment happen. You think its bad now, just wait till hes re-elected. There will be no restraints at all.

      Some quotes about why we must always be light shining on the hill and reminding people.

      “They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary
      safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.”
      — Benjamin Franklin, 1759

      A great empire, like a great cake, is most easily diminished at the edges.
      — B. Franklin

      Ignorance is never out of style. It was in fashion yesterday, it is the
      rage today, and it will set the pace tomorrow.
      — Franklin K. Dane

      The story goes that as Benjamin Franklin emerged from Independence Hall at the close of the Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia on September 18, 1787, a woman asked him, “Well Doctor, what have we got, a republic or a monarchy?”.

      Mr. Franklin replied, “A republic, madam – if you can keep it.”

    • DRLJR

      Glenn, The Republic will fail if we let it. The Roman Republic almost failed but people stood up and fixed the problems.
