Feds Run News Blacklist, Ban Employee Access To Website<\/a><\/h2>\n<\/hgroup>\n<\/header>\n
\n

– A\u00a0federal agency banned public employees from accessing news stories at Blacklock\u2019s<\/em> Reporter<\/em>\u00a0via\u00a0government internet servers, documents confirm. Confidential records show Shared Services Canada imposed the government-wide blackout on\u00a0website access by hundreds of thousands of staff. Files on\u00a0the blacklisting were obtained through Access To Information<\/em>. – Shared Services Canada offered no explanation. A 218-page file detailing the ban is heavily censored and conceals email messages in which Shared Services staff discuss the action in messages headed, \u201cBlock Domain: Blacklocks.ca\u201d. – \u201cThis is outrageous conduct,\u201d said Blacklock\u2019s<\/em> publisher Holly Doan, who noted the newsroom first learned of the blacklisting from individual subscribers in federal departments who were unable to access news content. Shared Services Canada manages telecom services for 43 departments. – No reason is given for the blacklisting. Blacklock\u2019s<\/em> is an accredited member of the Parliamentary Press Gallery covering bills, regulations, Access to Information<\/em> and federal courts. – \u201cIt\u2019s astonishing to see Canada join the short list of countries that forbid public employees from accessing internet news sites,\u201d Doan said. \u201cThis is not only Orwellian, it appears to breach the government\u2019s own guidelines on workplace internet use.\u201d – Cabinet\u2019s official Policy On Acceptable Network & Device Use<\/em> adopted in 2013 permits federal employees to \u201csearch for information online\u201d and \u201cshare links to professional activities and events or interesting and relevant articles\u201d. The Policy<\/em> also details \u201cunacceptable use\u201d of government computers including access to \u201chate propaganda\u201d; \u201cpornography\u201d; \u201cobscenity\u201d; and \u201cillegal gambling\u201d. – Doan said, \u201cSurely Shared Services Canada can tell the difference between Blacklock\u2019s<\/em> and a jihadist website or crime syndicate\u201d; \u201cNo rational agency would blacklist an accredited news site in the name of security or crime prevention\u201d. Doan noted the Blacklock\u2019s<\/em> ban appeared to be revoked September 9, the same day the publication filed a formal request for records from Shared Services Canada. – \u2018Way Ahead There, Boss Man\u2019 – <\/strong>Documents indicate the government\u2019s central internet provider blocks numerous domain sites. Shared Services Canada would not explain how many sites it has blacklisted, what their names are, or how many others are accredited news sites. \u201cWe do not comment on the specifics of methods used to protect the Government of Canada\u2019s IT infrastructure,\u201d said Marie-Helene Rouillard, a Shared Services spokesperson. – Access To Information<\/em> records show the department\u2019s IT security division blocked the website blacklocks.ca from last August 22, sending an email alert to numerous agencies including the Department of Industry, Correctional Service of Canada, tax department and others. \u201cThe email went to all contacts we have on record,\u201d Dave Tough, a Shared Services security analyst, writes in one August 25 email; \u201cWay ahead of you there, boss-man.\u201d – Tough rated the alert of \u201chigh importance\u201d, and indicated several IT staff monitored the news site. Blacklock\u2019s<\/em> was also cited in an August 27 Cyber Brief<\/em> distributed to telecom staff across all government agencies; \u201cCyber Briefs<\/em> are publications released by the Government of Canada with the goal of preventing widespread incidents,\u201d the memo reads. All references to Blacklock\u2019s<\/em> were lengthy and censored. – Tough did not reply to repeated requests for an interview. \u201cAt no time did our newsroom pose a security threat to the nation,\u201d said Publisher Doan. – Under cabinet\u2019s Policy<\/em> on workplace computer use, more than 200,000 federal employees are permitted to \u201cwatch online broadcasts of work-related content\u201d and \u201ckeep up-to-date with news and current events\u201d, according to Examples Of Acceptable Use<\/em>. Other permitted activities include \u201csubscribe to web feeds\u201d; \u201ccheck the weather forecast\u201d; \u201cconfirm bus schedule information\u201d; \u201cread or contribute to online forums\u201d; and \u201cvisit social networking sites to connect with family and friends\u201d. – Forbidden computer activities include using workplace computers to \u201cmake public comments about government policies\u201d; \u201cengage in political activity\u201d; or \u201cbreach the duty of loyalty requirement for public servants\u201d. –<\/p>\n

There are a few things that might be suspicious about the Charlie Hebdo shootings. Beginning with: Why would ‘professionals’ leave the kind of evidence behind that they supposedly left in vehicles? And: If the French security forces are so sure they have so many ‘suspects’ and have knows about them for some time: Did they allow the massacre to take place? Have they allowed suspectes to leave the country so they could follow them somewhere?\u00a0 ; <\/span><\/p>\n

There’s a link directly above this section in the caption of a copied and pasted re-tweet defining a global economic flying ‘shitstorm’ – The ‘bad guys’ are plotting to manipulate an economic collapse in order to tighten their grip on everyone and take away what remaining freedoms you believe you still have. One encouraging forecast I heard: There are a lot more of ‘US’ than there are of ‘Them’ – ‘Them = Banksters’ and people will not take this. We might have a rough go for a while, but we will shut those Banksters down and change the way we view economic matters.

The Keystone pipeline. Um, (1) Big oil companies have ‘buried’ patents for processes that could make competitive technologies viable. (2) Nicola Tesla knew about and was working on methods to distribute electricity free to everybody and the rich and powerful ruined him financially because he was a threat to their monopolies. (3) There’s a book that might be available somewhere, “The Energy Non-Crisis” by Lindsey Williams, a Baptist Pastor who was privileged to insider information and learned that oil keeps replentishing itself, Oil Companies have raised their prices based on lies and are still making record profits. Farmers in Texas discovered new oil on their property, thought they would be rich, signed deals with big oil companies had their wells dug and were told that the oil companies were not going to use their oil, no matter how good it was and they couldn’t tell the world about this because, according to the terms of their contracts, the big oil companies could sue them for everything they were worth if they did. Big Oil is dirty business. Oil-Sands \/ Tar-Sands is dirty business. Send them buggers to the poor house, or banish them to a parallel dimension where their kind of policies have ruined whole planets and let them starve and freeze with what they’ve done staring them in their faces.\u00a0 <\/span>;<\/span><\/p>\n

Re: Bill Cosby. We will not add to his ‘Trial by Media’<\/span> here. He performed in Ontario. He has not been charged by police.

Housing costs everywhere in the world are controlled by greedy ice-holes. Until we fix that problem by removing those greedy ice-holes from the equation, be prepared to be hammered in the brain by silly propaganda designed to keep you off balance and in a state of anxiety about everything in your environment. Pray for Angelic Intervention. Bring Heaven to Earth. “Help! – Amen”\u00a0 ;<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

All kids need a place to play where they can act out their dreams and even mimic the grown up ice-holes they see every day. I’ll include University aged men and women in this. There should be someplace where almost-grown-up kids can be complete ice-holes for a laugh, as long as they don’t hurt anybody. Maybe universities need in-house computer bulletin boards where students can post all kinds of inflamatory b.s. and nobody outside their little group will ever see it. Faculty could probably use something like that, too. A Private Venting Board where you can call your dean a complete freakin’ waste of good dna and get away with it. We never would have heard about Lieutenant Dish if rabid political correctness was in force when M.A.S.H. first entered our collective, -clear throat- uh- ‘consciousness’ (?) –\u00a0 ; <\/span><\/p>\n

The problem with big oil began with the fact that they’ve been lying to all of us all along. Oil is created by some natural process inside the earth and on distant planets and moons that never had dinosaurs. It is not ‘fossil fuel’. It constantly replentishes itself. There never was or will be an oil shortage. Prices you pay are inflated by lies. What we need here is cheap renewable energy, which the sun and planet provide for free. Put them lying cheating manipulating Oil Barons in the poor house. Or better yet, put them in Jail – ;<\/span><\/p>\n

Trial by mass media does not make anyone guilty. There is due process. Celebrities should not be put on trial in the corporate media before they have been found guilty in a court of law. And think about this: How many people who have been convicted of really heinous crimes have been exonerated by dna evidence in the last few years. Our ‘Justice’ systems are imperfect and subject to corruption and mistakes made by honest people. You better hope you never have to bet your life on your country’s ‘Justice’ system.\u00a0 \u00a0 <\/span>;<\/span><\/p>\n

Oilsands, Tarsands. The technology is out there to provide everybody on this planet with free energy. WE can and should make sure that everybody on this planet has a safe shelter and enough to eat. We can do that. We should have been doing that all along. There is no such thing as ‘Fossil Fuel’. But YES! Canada should leave its oilsands in the ground, where it belongs.\u00a0 \u00a0 ; <\/span><\/p>\n
