Obama program requires federal workers to rat on colleagues

Even before a former U.S. intelligence contractor exposed the secret collection of Americans’ phone records, the Obama administration was pressing a government-wide crackdown on security threats that requires federal employees to keep closer tabs on their co-workers and exhorts managers to punish those who fail to report their suspicions.

President Barack Obama’s unprecedented initiative, known as the Insider Threat Program, is sweeping in its reach. It has received scant public attention even though it extends beyond the U.S. national security bureaucracies to most federal departments and agencies nationwide, including the Peace Corps, the Social Security Administration and the Education and Agriculture departments. It emphasizes leaks of classified material, but catchall definitions of “insider threat” give agencies latitude to pursue and penalize a range of other conduct.

Looking more like Soviet Russia all the time....Obama's USSA.

Boy, do I wish I was a Federal worker right about now.

For sure I'd be doing me some reporting of suspicions...

A simple reboot isn't going to work. The only way to purge this virus is to power down, replace the hard drive, install a new motherboard to replace the ROM, and re-install the original operating system.
