Vol. 1, Issue 9 – Is Information Being Phased Out for an Illusion of Transparency?

Welcome once again to another issue of Illustrangia, where we cautiously trudge through the strange to illuminate the truth. In this issue, we'll discuss the people's candidate, the death of the Internet, JFK and his connection with UFOs, the government's most secretive agency, and the FBI stopping their own terror plots.

When Scott Walker, Republican Governor of Wisconsin, took the stage, he got his point across despite the rising protesters voices. “Here in America there is a reason we celebrate the Fourth of July and not April 15th,” Walker said. “Because in America, we celebrate our Independence from the government, not our dependence on it.” He continued over the growing roar of protesters. “Those voices cannot drown out the millions of Americans who want us to stand up for the hardworking taxpayers.”

His message is one of independence from Big Government and the need to vote out the elected would would redistribute wealth, raise taxes we shouldn't even be getting, the dangers of Obamacare, and catering to illegal aliens while ignoring those Vets coming home from war.

When Obama was campaigning for the position of President, he promised the American people CHANGE. And he kept to his promise, but the change we were looking for was not what everyone was expecting. “He brought us bigger government and onerous taxes.” If nothing is done by us, WE THE PEOPLE, if we continue to live with our heads in the sand, if we don't elect the stagnant incumbent officials out of office, we, as a country, will collapse like the Soviet Union in 1991. [1]

The collapse of this country could slowly be followed by the collapse of the Internet and the information flow we are familiar with. The Federal Communications Commission (FCC), which is a NON-elected federal government agency, voted on how the Internet is going to be regulated. Yes, net neutrality passed on a vote of three-to-two, but they also voted on a 300-page document detailing how the Internet would be affected in the long run. Only one other agency was allowed to see the document, Google, which they tweaked – probably to their advantage – before the historic vote was cast.

When is a non-elected federal government agency allowed to vote on our freedom? Think about it . . . the Internet is a communication device, which allows us to express ourselves. The founding fathers gave us the Constitution of the United States and the freedom to speak. Is this unconstitutional?

The FCC now “claims the power to regulate the Internet” without “the vote of Congress, the people's branch of the government.” Yes, net neutrality was passed, but at what cost? Will we lose our freedom to speak our minds? Will information coming in from around the world be slowly filtered out to the point of disinformation? Will the FCC deliberately regulate the Internet so much so that it'll make North Korea seem like a free country? [1]

And perhaps even information about UFOs and conspiracies will be phased out altogether, information like the genuine interest John F. Kennedy had in UFOs and how this may have played a role in his assassination. And it seems more of the general public are opening up to this possibility.

During his term in office, Kennedy tried “a number of different initiatives to gain access to classified UFO files.” The CIA knew he was interested and kept that secret out of the public eye, but through the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), we learned that the former president's knowledge of UFOs “played a key role in his interest in gaining access to [those] classified UFO files.”

Kennedy didn't keep this information to himself, though, sharing some of the secrets with Marilyn Monroe. “Monroe's estrangement from Kennedy and attempt to reveal his UFO secrets through a planned press conference is claimed to have played a direct role in her August 1962 death.”

Kennedy's interest in UFOs also led to a space cooperation initiative with the USSR. “When it became clear […] that Kennedy might succeed, a secret assassination directive called 'Project Environment' was implemented by the head of the CIA's counter-intelligence division. Ten days later, Kennedy was assassinated in Dallas, Texas.” [2]

Kennedy's secret interest in UFOs, or the CIA's secret assassination directive aren't the only secrets being kept from the public. The Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) first administrator under President Obama, Lisa Jackson, sent out a memo to all employees of the EPA, which was called the “fishbowl memo”. The memo states:

"The American people will not trust us to protect their health or their environment if they do not trust us to be transparent and inclusive in our decision-making. To earn this trust, we must conduct business with the public openly and fairly."

Not long after the new President was sworn in with promises of transparency – the standard criterion of which his administration thrived for – the “fishbowl memo” was written with transparency in mind. However, along with the rest of Obama's administration, Jackson was not so transparent, having used “phony email identities, blocked access to information from the press and Congress, destroyed government records, refused to disclose data used to justify regulation, and misinformed human test subjects. A federal judge even call the agency's excuses 'implausible'.”

Secrets abound as the EPA withholds information from the public. “Working to increase transparency at EPA is a major priority,” said EPW Committee member Sen. David Vitter, R-La., “especially considering how little the Obama EPA is willing to share with Congress and the American public, and also what great lengths they go hiding their agenda.”

With the EPA destroying records, whether hard copy papers or deleting digital information, they are still involved in criminal activity, which could carry a sentence of up to three years in prison. “The destruction of records is a criminal offense, a felony […].” The EPA is violating FOIA, which requires the government to “provide documents to the public upon request.”

A ruling against Gina McCarthy, who replaced Lisa Jackson as agency chief, and the EPA concerning a FOIA lawsuit “over the missing 5,932 text messages of McCarthy from 2009 to 2012 […].” Of course, a spokeswoman said that the EPA was “not aware of any evidence that federal records [had] been lawfully destroyed.”

In the eyes of the EPA officials, “text messages are inherently unlikely to qualify for preservation as a federal records.” However, government text messages are just as valid as memos, letters, and emails, and are “subject to open records laws.” If they weren't, they “every time government officials want to hid written communications, they would simply text one another.” Is this unconstitutional? Once again . . . secrets. [3]

Another example of disinformation, or withholding information, comes in the form of the FBI. Every day, we hear of schemes of domestic terrorism with the nation's top federal law enforcement agency coming to the rescue and managing to thwart the terrorists. But, what about a plan of domestic terrorism that is self-made?

Recently, the Justice Department released a statement which claimed, “the Joint Terrorism Task Force has arrested a Cincinnati-area man from a plot to attack the U.S. Capitol and kill government officials.”

The Cincinnati-area man was Christopher Cornell, an unemployed 20-year-old still living at home, who “spends the bulk of his time playing video games in his bedroom, still calls his mother 'mommy', and considers his cat his best friend.” he was considered quiet and kept to himself, but being a loner doesn't make one a terrorist, does it?

The FBI was tipped off by an “informant” who, conveniently, wishes to be unnamed and “began cooperating with the [agency] in order to obtain favorable treatment with respect to his criminal exposure on an unrelated case.” Cover up?

“Family members” of Cornell's said the young man converted to Islam about six months ago and “claimed he began attending a small local mosque.” But when members of that mosque were questioned about Cornell, they noted that “a young, white, recent convert would have been quite conspicuous at a mosque largely populated by 'immigrants from West Africa', many of whom 'speak little or no English'.”

Is this a situation where the FBI “literally [creates] terrorist cases out of thin air”? Or is this information another example of . . . the illusion of transparency? [4]
