Are There Any Patriots Left

If you support secrecy.  You deny God and Country.  No Exceptions...
Secrecy defies the first two principles on which the Constitution is based.  They are the right to and responsibility for oversight.

The Freemason's Eyes Are Closed, Pray For Them

Freemasons, Secrecy, Fear, and Division Within Our Nation

God has made me witness to many things and told me to speak sternly to the leaders.  I have had a hard time accepting it and dropped many things on the floor due to the total rejection of man on the topics, because people fear their weakness being exposed, by a few, fear of financial loss by some, fear of the unknown by many as well as fear of exposed lies by many. The fundamental cause of the issue is the Hidden Plutocracy that truly runs our country. The good ole boy secret society. Here the term use of Freemasons is a catchall for secret society in general for whom ever it applies.  All are apart of the destruction of our nation.  Secret society promotes and uses fear, this creates division among our people.  We are a wicked nation, not the people but the system, but we have neglected our responsibility to oversight of our government.  So turn and repent and seek the Lord's forgiveness, and step up and help do your part in overseeing this nation.  Secrets must go as they violate the constitution not to mention God's Law.   But the later is all that matters, and the former is used simply to prove we are wrong by our own laws.

Where It Started and What  Is It

The issues date back to 1613, exactly 400 years ago this year Pocahontas was taken captive and married a English Freemason named John Rolfe.  We proceeded to exile the Indians and plundered their land.  We have and almost al the coal and natural gas.  Recently we gave them a business that God sees as an abomination, ill gotten gains from casinos God will not accept.

We created terrorism with our attempts to control our voracious appetite for gas and fighting the cold war.  Al Qaida leaders came out of the Mahujadeen, a group our CIA funded, trained, and equipped in the 30 years ago to fight the Soviets under a false flag.  Trying to pretend it was not us. This is a common tactic used today in terrorism.  Little Bush coined the term the Axis of Evil, as you will see that may be more appropriately applied to the US. It is worth noting that the Freemason network permeates the CIA, NSA, FBI,...

If you look at the history of our nation the Freemasons were heavily involved from the beginning.  George Washington and all of his generals were freemasons, answer many who signed the declaration of independence and the Constitution.  The layout and architecture is very symbol oriented and due to masonic influence (so I have heard).  But in 1983 the Pope declared that Freemasons could not partake of Holy Communion.

US Blind To Our Actions

We break our laws, both constitutionally and war crimes.  The first Amendment states Congress shall make no law that respects an establishment of religion. Basically telling the creator of the universe He is not welcome.  A clear violation of the second commandment. Additionally our standard security practice brings curses as defined in Deut 27, 28.

November 4 1995, Yitzhak Rabin was assassinated by a zealot Zionist.  It was believed, based on an Israeli lawsuit and articles that it was an inside job as the Shin-Bet had a relationship with the assassin.  Two months and one day later a Palestinian was assassinated in flamboyant act of provocation.  It appears clear that it was geared to get a response,  and it did, a few bombings killed nearly 60 Israeli's and injured hundreds just before the election of Rabin's replacement.  Following this killing they bulldozed his home denying justice to his fatherless child and his widow, coupled with moving a boundary stone.  Killing him in secret and denying him justice that makes it 5 curses in Deut 27.   A trusted Christian co-worker in the office of K512 at NSA, revealed this story to get it off his chest in 1996 just before I left the Agency.  I thoroughly corroborated it about a year ago in the media.  The real question is would God have His people use cursed techniques to reclaim their land.  No. Which brings to the forefront was the 1948 entry into the land of man or God.  God does entries to the day, and I can find no historical significance or precedent for 1948.

Further 1 John 2:22 states anyone who denies Jesus is the Messiah is an antichrist.  So our support Israel given our understanding of Christ seems to imply were supporting the enemy of Christ.  So it is hypocritical at best, and seems to imply we are an antichrist.  God says you cannot serve two masters.  Who among Christians support Israel in an unnatural way, i.e., with irrationally strong support?  Freemasons certainly fit this.  Senate and House voting records would likely reveal freemason membership based on staunch support for Israel.  But that is just a theory about the voting records.

Associated Networks

The underlying issues involve the CIA/NSA/Military/Freemason/GOP war machine, as well as the courts, banks, and churches. The harassment by the freemasons and military is amazing. They are truly cowards. If you recall from history the British fought like men, face to face on the battlefield. But we hid behind trees. We created gorilla warfare, terrorism too.  God curses cowardly killing Deuteronomy 27.  We kill in secret because it is more secure. Translation we are cowards. Our men need to learn to be men. Quit hiding and carrying on in secret. I have lost all respect for our military as their secrecy and actions toward me show that they are so cowardly that they hide their secrets by not talking to me but destroying me in secret. If they are what America is about I am not interested in furthering this behavior.  I have to believe that their eyes are closed and that is not their true character. But all I can do is pray their eyes to be opened.

On the morning of 9/11/2001, nineteen men mostly from Saudi Arabia piloted the planes into the buildings.  We invaded 3 other nations.  These actions are beyond comprehension to me at this point.  But I like you did nothing at that time. I was a coward.  But God has shown me the error of our ways.  In Iraq we lost 4000, and we took out 120,000.  This results in a kill ratio of 30 to 1,  We are darn efficient at killing.  Perhaps because of our huge investment in death technology, 37% of each years tax dollars is at least what is published.   Habakkuk 2 -Woe to he who builds a city on bloodshed.

Issue 1: US Wealthiest Areas Driven By Death

In 2012 the richest 4 counties in the US were Arlington VA, Louden VA, Howard MD, Fairfax VA. These correspond to the
-Pentagon-Arlington,
-Defense Contractors-Louden,
-NSA-Howard,
-CIA-Fairfax.
Additionally 9 of the top 13 weapons producers are US companies.  Cursed is he who leads the blind astray, Deut 27.  Our leaders create massive secret structures that bring curses on our country.

Issue 2: False god

There are two types of energy in this world, creation and destruction.  As God is all about creation, or positive energy, then the United States being focused so heavily on destruction makes us an antichrist, our system is the problem, as it is a false god.  We host the synagogue of satan Revelations 2:9, 3:9, i.e.,  CIA/NSA/Military/Freemason/GOP war machine.  The freemasons are the elders, DC is the holy city, the Whitehouse and/or the Capitol is it's holy places.  Idolatry of our False god, the US Government war machine is exemplified by:
- We rely on it in time of war
- We tithe to it, more than to God
- We sacrifice our youth to it
- We make graven images to it's leaders and it's dead
- We pledge to a symbol of it
- We salute a symbol of it
- We make holidays to honor it
- We basically submit, bow down, rely on, pay reverence to i.e., we worship it

Root Issue: Secrecy is a Problem

Secrecy has destroyed us from the inside. Classification was to protect the lives of patriots who were spreading democracy.  It seemed noble, but it has grown into a monster that has putt us $16 trillion dollars in debt.  We have consumed the land, as 60% of our natural gas must be traced, i.e. squeezed from stone. My daughter did a research report and found with current rates of usage increase we have 35 years of coal left. So we are the locusts of Joel 1.

Now consider how the 'men' have neglected the women.  Not sure if there is a correlation between the pro life votes in government and the freemason/secret society membership, but is is worth considering.  Regardless there is no intention to bash a certain group.

Just shine a light on blind hurtful behavior that is done in the name of something good.  As I am positive that the freemasons are one such group, I have no doubt about anything I say in this document.  It is fact.  The powers that be have had a smear campaign against me and an investigation starting n 1992, while I worked at NSA. It involved my divorce, and I have been targeted unofficially by special interest groups based on some truth, but many more lies and fabrications that are never cleared due to secrecy.  But it is not my circumstances that were the main point, but the fact that the structure of our government actually alienates God.  This has turned our government into a a false god, causing us to be guilty of idolatry.  The core features that cause this is our first amendment and the fact that secrecy in government violates our Constitution and God's Laws.  Turns out that Fear is a key element in all human failures in the history of man.  There are secret groups that cause these things to propagate, they are our secret societies. But the powers in the flow of money.  I received a banking lesson while in Canada.  Two banks are in the north.  It is interesting but what is important is that money flow needs to be exposed.

Conclusion

These secret societies permeate every inch of our social, religious, and government groups.  Banking was invented by the Freemasons during the crusades.  Religion seemed to take a dive underground when in 1613, as the German Jews were exiled and plundered.  Could they have important documents recovered from the Jewish plunder?  So their influence is felt in banking, in the courts, and essentially creating slavery as they try to control women's right to choose among many other issues.  Not even God limits sin, if indeed their choice is sin.  Any man who tries to control another's sin is elevating himself as a god.  God grants us free will.  I am not saying abortion is right.  It is a sin in some cases but as all sin is between that person and God, it is not a man's to say for any other that their wife and children.  Who controls the courts, well nearly every judge is a freemason, so I have heard (this I admit is complete hear-say).  So the women have been force to protect themselves.  And now they are in fact in fear of the men's network, the good ole boys.  I feel their pain.  I also see clearly why the freemasons hide their membership.

Satan uses a 5 pointed star (Pentagram,  Pentagon).
God uses a 6 pointed star. (Star of David)
God says you can't serve two masters.

So choose, NOW.

Do you side with God or Satan?
We lead the world into the mess we have today. Decide now to lead the world back to God.

Pray for the men who are freemasons or any other similar group.  They have good intentions but have been tricked as all have been to one  degree or another.  Pray for open eyes and for justice and forgiveness as God sees fit.

Our Perspective of the World

Our Perspective of the World

Truth, Deception, Difference of Opinion, and Bias or Perception.

Perspective is based on all the information our senses collect, have seen, heard, or otherwise collected and interpreted throughout our life. One's perspective can be thought of as the glasses prescription they see the world with. This can range from the rare unbiased clear lensed type to a pair of kaleidoscope glasses.  It all depends on what you experiences have been in life. Our past can easily be seen to determine our actions.  Through understanding we grow.

Senses Processing Memory Output Model of a Human

Perception is you current view of something given your Perspective.  You can think of perspective as your memory being added in with the input, setting the scene.  Perspective also includes the position and any other context.  In the figure above the number of items they see depends on which side they are nearest. The purpose of this model to the right is to describe how and why we see the same things differently. The box labeled S represents our senses, if a  person is color blind for example. The box labeled B is the brain processing the input from the senses in the presence of the past experiences, represented by the box M. The box labeled O represents the output or communication, and contains speech and other forms of communication.

Our paradigm of life is based entirely on our prior experiences,i.e. Perspective being our Senses, Brain, Memory, and Output.  So any misinformation or missing information in a persons past experiences, a persons environment, even the sequence of exposure to experiences has an impact.  So having a broad unbiased experience in life is key to having a unbiased view of the world.  For example, post 9/11/2001 the United States vilified the Muslim people.  But as many US citizens had never met a Muslim what they saw on the news was 100% of their exposure.  So to know only the memories of 9/11, it is reasonable to have a biased view.  But how we responded to that event came from bias and fear.

In the human fear response there are over 20 hormones released to prepare the body for fight or flight.   The effect is to multiply the processing in the system by a huge gain, or equivalently  lowering response thresholds making our response all on or off, fight or flight.  The result is over reaction.  

Now take two parties interacting together. If they truly understand each other, fear will never come in.  But if their knowledge of one another is limited, then fear can come into play. As you can see the system is a loop with the output of one person or group feeding the second person or group.  The output of the second feeds the input to the first.  As is easily seen if the gain through the loop is greater than one, the system will blow up, i.e., go unstable. This is what happens in a PA system when the mic and speaker get to close.  When one part of the system becomes afraid, the other must compensate, else the system will blow up.

So given this model we can see how a person who grew up with a different experience would see and react differently.  And that full knowledge removes unknowns and fear, therefore leading to a more stable relationship.  Also bias is of concern as bias of an input will accumulate in ones memory until it turns the perception toward one direction, such that regardless of the other's input it is interpreted in the direction of the bias.

This bias accumulation, or incomplete  or inaccurate communication can be seen in any number of places in todays world.

• In Marriages where spouses do not talk.  Their missed expectations has added up to the point of division and destroyed trust effectively destroying the marriage.
• Political parties have not communicated, and are driven by fear of an uneducated but vocal voter.  They dig their heels in and make a good show, for their supporters.
• Some politicians seems to have the policy that they are God and know better than others. Social Justice groups resort to social terrorism, ex Occupy. Groups like this may have noble intention. But their aggressive in your face techniques, ignore others in their zeal to make their views truth.
• The freemasons and other religious political secret groups.  These groups have taken a limited set of scripture and ignored all that condemns their actions, like intentional sin of testing(deception) and judging (rejecting), which are inequity.  Not to mention the second commandment. 
• Our vilification of the Muslims post 9/11. Most did not know Muslims but based on the experience we had we were easily swayed to believe they were more like our visions from 9/11 than not.
• In our voter political military media system has bias due to secrecy in government and ratings driven programming.

Disrespect for God from the Start

We The People Violated God's Commandments From Day 1

The Word of God

Our History Has Been a Continuation of the Tyranny of Europe in the 1600s

Our founding fathers, as great as they were, failed to recognize that the very thing they sought to protect against, fear, was factor in a flaw that slipped into our Declaration of Independence and Constitution.  The flaw being the alienation of God.  As secrecy and fear permeated the minds of those who had been so vexed by the church tyranny of that day.  Their decision to separate the two sounded reasonable at first glance.  But it is wrong as it alienates God, not the men of the church that actually caused the tyranny. The only true freedom comes through God.  But by alienating God we have not had His protection.  The 2nd Commandment says we shall not serve, bow down, worship or place faith in any other god.  Or make images of things from heaven or earth.  By declaring a separation of church and state we created a God free zone, and by relying on it, in times of war, economic need we pace our faith into a false god.  Further we do not seem to recall what is said about taking oaths, judging, and worried.

Both before and after we have made a list of horrific mistakes, but we feel we do not have responsibility.  But this is simply not true.  This list includes enslaving the blacks, persecuting exile and plunder of the American Indians.  Our support of the death around the world from war and terror.    We are responsible as We The People have a representative government.  Meaning the responsibility for out country falls in our lap as well.  

Brief Overview of God's Commandments.




Christ's Commandments, Matthew 22:36-40
 (Geneva 1599 Bible)

36 Master, which is the great commandment in the Law?

37 Jesus said to him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thine heart, with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.

38 This is the first and the great commandment.

39 And the second is like unto this, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.

40 On these two commandments hangeth the whole Law and the Prophets.

The 10 Commandments, Deuteronomy 5:6-21 (Geneva 1599 Bible)

• Second Commandment: 2 Thou shalt have none other gods before my face.
• Third Commandment: 8 Thou shalt make thee no graven image or any likeness of that that is in heaven above, or which is in the earth beneath, or that is in the waters under the earth (Deuteronomy 4:16 ...whether it be the likeness of male or female).  9 Thou shalt neither bow thyself unto them, nor serve them:
• Sixth Commandment: 17 Thou shalt not kill.
• Ninth Commandment: 20 Neither shalt thou bear false witness against thy neighbor

The wording of the Constitution violates the 2nd of God's Commandments given to Moses.

The Declaration of Independence: A Transcription

---

IN CONGRESS, July 4, 1776.

The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united States of America,

When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.

Where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is Liberty

Liberty is to dream big and live with passion to seek it.
Liberty is to never be concerned what others might think.
Liberty is to never be told you cant do that.
Liberty is to never be concerned over privacy.
Liberty is to live in a glass house and be naked. (either metaphorically or in reality)
Liberty is to live the way you desire and not be criticized.
Liberty is to live for a purpose that you define.
Liberty is to give to others, naturally because it feels good.
Liberty is to give and receive love.
Liberty is unique to each person, therefore you cannot judge another.
Liberty is only achieved through a relationship with God.

Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is Liberty. 2 Corinthians 3:17 (1599 Geneva Bible)

Matthew 4:5 Then the devil took him up into the holy city, and set him on a pinnacle of the Temple.   ... "And said to him, All these will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down, and worship me. 10 Then said Jesus unto him, Avoid Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve."

We Have Lost our Liberty because
     We Have Lost Sight of the Lord God.
         Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God,
              and him only shalt thou serve.

DoD Suppression Theory

DoD Targeted Investigation

Dupes Less Experienced, JTTF Elements Like EPA, HHS, Whitehouse Human Trafficking Task Force, into unjustly harassing an ex employee.The employee is me and I feel I am the target of a woefully unjust attack. The surveillance has been overwhelming. More like harassment it also seems to involve secret socioeties. Leading me to wonder who is in control of the NSA. Some say a picture is worth a thousand words. But here I use the term NSA to refer to No Such Association. Because the NSA I knew would not do something like this. Who is calling the shots on this?

DoD Targeted Judicial Manipulation

Inverted reality and constitutional rights were witheld and even blocked. Court was a show.
I have witnessed huge denials of civil liberties, including privacy, due process, right to contract, present evidence, give testimony,...

DoD Targeted Surveillance

What appears to be pervasive surveillance, by groups including Church Citizen Justice types, Marine Reservists, Army Special Operations, Contractors including Northrop, SAIC, Boeing, and FCI, persons from DoD, NSA, DIA, EPA, CIA, FIS, NGA, ...

A large component of the surveillance included a 9/11 component.

There has been a strong spiritual component. I have been told many things that point to a religious bloodline. Just not sure if the things are real or gas-lighting, or PSYOP induced.

Asian Pacific special interest groups, women's rights groups, human trafficking.

NSA Targeted PSYOP - Psychological Operation
There is a Joint military command located in Pennsylvania. This group is responsible for the military PSYOP operations. Have been approached my many military and civilian psychologists. Have had countless PSYOPs ran in my presence, meant to destabilize a person. In the 1950's Margaret Singer showed that gas-lighting can be used to cause schizophrenia.

NSA Targeted Profile Likely a Problem
What could be so important to cause this much energy to be spent on one person.
NSA Targeted me because I know what started the fear and hate cycle that lead to 9/11.


Maybe more to the point is who makes the calls on operations.

A large component of the surveillance included a 9/11 component. I know what may be the event that started a wave of terror that lead to 9/11, and the US supported it.
There has been a strong spiritual component. I have been told many things that point to a religious bloodline. Just not sure if the things are real or gas-lighting, or PSYOP.
Asian Pacific special interest groups, women's rights groups, human trafficking.
After the divorce was over and the harassment continued, some research revealed something important. It should have been highly classified. But: war crimes cannot be classified.

The DoD referred me to the FBI.
The FBI (Baltimore) told me it was not classified. Refused to allow me to speak to his supervisor.
The FBI (Richmond) referred me to Baltimore FBI.
Loudoun County VA Sheriff's office JTTF component said JTTF would not invetigate this, even though it is a murder and possibly war crime. They refused to supply a report.

True Freedom Requires We Open Our Eyes

We The People need to take responsibility for our actions. Demand transparency and open communications in all our relationships, because nothing good comes from darkness. It states in Ephesians 5:12 It is shameful even to mention what the disobedient do in secret. 13 But everything exposed by the light becomes visible—and everything that is illuminated becomes a light. Here the intention is exactly that. To try and gently expose without judging what appears to be the issue with our country, society, and people. That is the lack of transparency and open communications that exists at all levels from interpersonal to between nations is lacking and results in the fear - hate - terror cycle the world exists in today. I fear that this may be a grand delusion that the Lord speaks of in 2 Thessalonians 2:11. We The People have been indulgent and have allowed our government to overreact in the war on terror.

From Galatians 5 we know that we must love our neighbor as ourselves. That includes our spouses and other nations and cultures. The only thing that counts is faith expressing itself through love. Love displaces all fear. So if we simply follow one simple rule we can solve the wolds problems. The true physical and spiritual cliff will be overwhelming.

In 2 Timothy 2:25 says that we should gently advise them not following his word. 26 That they will come to their senses and escape from the trap of the devil. This is my intention here. Because Christ says to love your neighbor as yourself, you have fulfilled the law, and are saved. So to love your neighbor we cannot persecute him, judge him, torture him, spy on him, or kill him. Yet we continue to support many of these exact things. Please repent for your own sake, and that of our country and our children.

God warns us about not following his will. One such warning relates to the haughty women of Zion, in Isaiah 3:16 Moreover the LORD said, Because the daughters of Zion are haughty, and walk with stretched forth necks and wanton eyes, walking and mincing as they go, and making a tinkling with their feet. 17 Therefore the Lord will strike with a scab the crown of the head of the daughters of Zion. … 25 Your men shall fall by the sword, and your mighty in the war.

We must lead by example and demonstrate to the world the love of our God, the God, through the way Christ gave us with his sacrifice. I feel that a bold demonstration of leadership by Love is the only way to survive. We may never achieve world peace but when we cease to try we become agents of evil. Before we can ever love we must first understand.

NSA, CIA, Secrecy and Fear in Classified Government

NSA, CIA, Secrecy and Fear in Classified Government

The CIA and NSA were products of fear.  They are by definition secret organizations.  There are others that are even more secret.   But there is an entire subculture that runs on this concept. Classification was meant to protect and save the lives of those who were willing to risk their life for freedom.  Now it has become a shield for those who seek to destroy freedom.

On Sept 11, 2001 we had an eye opening event as high-jackers fed up with the actions of our government in their backyard tried desperately to get our attention.  They even state in their last words recorded and mailed to the news that, they were trying to let us know.  The felt that it was our government out of control and that the people would not stand for it. Those tapes disappeared and our response was shaped by a system of secrecy.  They also said that specifically they were troubled by the support of Israel against the Palestinians. This was supported by several:

• FBI Special Agent Fitzgerald in testimony to the 9/11 Commission
• Osama Bin Laden's statements
• Hi-Jackers last words recordings

Our support of Israel

• Jimmy Carter stated Israel's actions against Palestine were Genocide
• Use of cursed techniques by Israeli military to secure land
• Bulldoze Palestinian homes: Deut 27:17 Cursed be he that removeth his neighbor's landmark. 19 Cursed be he that perverteth the justice due to the stranger.
• Assassinations: Deut 27:24 Cursed be he that smiteth his neighbour in secret.
• Shin-Bet ( שב״כ‎) were supported by the NSA in a 1996 Assassination that steered Israel away from peace (see previous post). 

There are two forces at work in the world, God and evil.

ENCLOSURE 3

eGUARDIAN PROCEDURES

1. SYSTEM DESCRIPTION

 a. All reports in the eGuardian system shared data repository (SDR) are viewable through 

Guardian, the FBI’s classified threat reporting system. DoD personnel assigned to joint 

terrorism task forces (JTTFs) and the National Joint Terrorism Task Force (NJTTF) have access 

to Guardian. 

 b. Guardian and eGuardian are not emergency reporting systems. Users must contact their 

chain of command and local JTTF in accordance with local procedures for any urgent matters 

with a potential link to terrorism. After emergency reporting is conducted, information may be 

submitted to the eGuardian system, as appropriate. 

 c. The eGuardian system functions as an alert, recording, and reporting system, not as a 

long-term data repository. Decisions regarding the status of eGuardian reports will be made 

promptly so that data can move quickly through the system. 

2. ACCESS PROCEDURES

 a. Access to the eGuardian system is via Law Enforcement Online. DoD personnel whose 

law enforcement responsibilities require access to the eGuardian system must first establish 

access to Law Enforcement Online by applying directly to the FBI for access via the Law 

Enforcement Online website at http://www.leo.gov/. 

 b. Applications for eGuardian access shall be routed through the respective DoD 

Component. The DoD Component shall validate and forward access requests to the FBI 

eGuardian Management Unit (e-guard-mod@leo.gov) for approval. DoD access is limited to 

law enforcement personnel and analysts assigned, attached, or detailed to support DoD law 

enforcement organizations. DoD law enforcement personnel and analysts assigned, attached, or 

detailed to a DoD law enforcement agency supporting force protection, counterintelligence, and 

intelligence activities are eligible for eGuardian system accounts and unrestricted access due to 

their law enforcement status. Information acquired through the eGuardian system by DoD law 

enforcement personnel may be shared with counterintelligence and intelligence agencies 

conducting force protection and counterterrorism missions in compliance with the requirements 

of References (e) through (m). 

 c. Initial access to the eGuardian system requires completion of a training module that 

addresses standards for reporting and protection of privacy and civil liberties. All new account 

holders must complete this training and sign in to the eGuardian system within 30 days of being 

granted access to the system or their access will be terminated by the FBI. The DoD 

Component will monitor user training status and deactivate accounts of untrained personnel. 

10 ENCLOSURE 3 DoDI 2000.26, November 1, 2011 

d. All eGuardian system users must sign the FBI Information Technology and Information 

Systems Rules of Behavior for General Users Agreement Form. Violations of the user 

agreement will result in the termination of access privileges and could result in disciplinary 

action under chapter 47 of title 10, U.S.C., also known as “The Uniform Code of Military 

Justice (UCMJ)” (Reference (p)), or other applicable provisions of law, and result in other 

adverse personnel actions. 

e. Information obtained through eGuardian shall not be disseminated outside of the DoD 

without the approval of the originating agency, a representative of a fusion or intelligence 

center, a member of the JTTF, or an FBI eGuardian administrator. The misuse, theft, or 

conversion of eGuardian records for personal use or the use of another person is a criminal 

violation of section 641, chapter 31 of title 18, U.S.C. (Reference (q)). 

f. There are four distinct types of eGuardian accounts approved for use by DoD personnel: 

user, supervisor, approver, and read-only. The DoD Component will establish procedures to 

grant the appropriate level of access to Component personnel. 

 (1) User account privileges include the ability to draft SARs in the eGuardian system 

and the ability to view reports in the eGuardian SDR. 

 (2) Approver account privileges include the same privileges as user accounts as well as 

the ability to approve draft SARs in the eGuardian system that are drafted by assigned user 

account holders. 

 (3) Supervisor account privileges include the same privileges as user accounts as well as 

the ability to edit a report and return it to the user for corrections prior to referral to the 

approver. 

 (4) Read-only accounts only allow the ability to view reports in the eGuardian SDR. 

 g. Access to and use of information contained in the eGuardian system shall be consistent 

with the authorized purpose of eGuardian as identified in the applicable FBI System of Records 

Notice (Reference (r)) and Privacy Impact Assessment (Reference (s)). 

3. REPORTING SUSPICIOUS ACTIVITY

 a. The DoD Components with law enforcement agencies and activities shall use the 

eGuardian system exclusively for reporting, storing, and sharing unclassified SARs dealing with 

information regarding a potential threat or suspicious activity related to DoD personnel, 

facilities, or forces in transit (see Enclosure 4). 

 b. No entry may be made into eGuardian based on a person’s ethnicity, race, religion, or 

lawful exercise of rights or privileges guaranteed by the Constitution or Federal law, including 

First Amendment-protected freedoms of religion, speech, press, and peaceful assembly and 

11 ENCLOSURE 3 DoDI 2000.26, November 1, 2011 

protest, unless there exists reasonable suspicion of a direct relationship between such 

information and a specific criminal act or behavior that may pose a threat to DoD personnel, 

facilities, and forces in transit. 

 c. The following specific categories of information are not permitted to be entered into 

eGuardian: classified information pursuant to E. O. 13526 (Reference (t)); information that 

divulges sensitive methods and techniques information derived in accordance with chapter 36 of 

title 50, U.S.C., also known as “The Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act” (Reference (u)); 

grand jury information; Federal taxpayer information; sealed indictments; sealed court 

proceedings; confidential human source and witness information; and any other information the 

dissemination of which is prohibited by law. DoD Components will assign personnel to 

monitor the system to ensure that these categories of information are not included in eGuardian 

reports. 

 d. Only DoD law enforcement personnel or analysts within DoD law enforcement 

organizations will enter SARs into the eGuardian system. SARs may be reported to law 

enforcement from private citizens, DoD personnel, or may come directly from law enforcement 

personnel who observe or investigate activities. 

 e. DoD Components without organic law enforcement organizations or entities will report 

SARs to their supporting DoD law enforcement element. 

 f. Once entered, draft eGuardian reports are viewable to the initial drafter, the drafter’s 

supervisor, and the approval authority within the drafter’s DoD Component. 

4. REVIEW PROCESS

 a. DoD Components will establish a workflow that includes a review of draft eGuardian 

reports written by the eGuardian system users within their Component. Approval authority will 

not be below the level of the Component DCIO or designated law enforcement program office. 

DoD Components without a DCIO or designated law enforcement program office may request 

that local fusion centers or the FBI Guardian Management Unit serve as the responsible entity 

to approve eGuardian drafts submitted by Component personnel. All reviews will ensure that 

the draft eGuardian report complies with the standards established within this Instruction. 

 b. When suspicious activity is reported, if the initial investigative process by the reporting 

law enforcement agency, which will include coordination with the supporting FBI JTTF or 

NJTTF, finds no link to terrorism, the SAR will be deleted from the system and not be added to 

the eGuardian SDR. If a clear determination is made of a link to terrorism, the information will 

be passed to the eGuardian SDR for further dissemination and on to Guardian for analysis. If 

no clear determination can be made regarding a link to terrorism but it cannot be discounted, the 

information will be added to the eGuardian SDR for pattern and trend analysis. These reports 

will be retained in the eGuardian SDR for a period of 5 years. 

12 ENCLOSURE 3 DoDI 2000.26, November 1, 2011 

13 ENCLOSURE 3 

 c. Suspicious activity, incidents, and threats that are believed to warrant investigation due to 

the possibility they are an indicator of potential terrorist activity will be referred to the local FBI 

JTTF and the appropriate DoD criminal investigative unit supporting the DoD Component. 

 d. SARs entered into the eGuardian SDR and resolved as having no clear link to terrorism 

as a result of FBI JTTF or DCIO investigation will be removed from the eGuardian system after 

180 days. 

e. The FBI considers all reports submitted to the eGuardian system to be the property of the 

submitting agency; therefore, should a submitting DoD Component desire that a report be 

removed from the system prior to the 5-year mark, the report will be removed. All records 

created or received must be maintained per authorized records schedules in accordance with 

section 1220.32e of title 36, Code of Federal Regulations, and DoD Directive 5015.2 

(References (v) and (w)). DoDI 2000.26, November 1, 2011 

ENCLOSURE 4

CATEGORIES OF SUSPICIOUS ACTIVITY

This enclosure describes the potential categories to consider when evaluating suspicious activity. 

a. Acquisition of Expertise. Unjustified attempts to obtain or conduct specialized training in 

security concepts, military weapons or tactics, or other unusual capabilities such as specialized 

transport or handling capabilities that would cause a reasonable person to perceive a threat to 

DoD personnel, facilities, or forces in transit. 

b. Breach or Attempted Intrusion. Unauthorized entry or attempted entry into a restricted 

area or protected site; impersonation of authorized personnel (e.g., police, security, or janitorial 

personnel).

c. Eliciting Information. Suspicious questioning of personnel by any means about particular 

DoD structures, functions, personnel, or procedures at the facility or infrastructure. 

d. Expressed or Implied Threat. A threat to DoD personnel or threatened damage to or 

compromise of a DoD facility or infrastructure. 

e. Flyover or Landing. Suspicious overflight of or landing near a DoD facility or 

infrastructure by any type of flying vehicle (e.g., airplane, helicopter, unmanned aerial vehicle, 

hang glider). 

f. Materials Acquisition or Storage. Acquisition of unusual quantities of precursor material 

(e.g., cell phones, pagers, fuel, and timers); unauthorized or unlicensed individual or group 

attempts to obtain precursor chemicals, agents, or toxic materials; or rental of storage units for 

the purpose of storing precursor material, chemicals, or apparatuses for mixing chemicals. 

g. Misrepresentation. Misusing or presenting false insignia, documents, or identification or 

engaging in any other activity to misrepresent one’s affiliation. 

h. Recruiting. Building operations teams and developing contacts, or collecting personnel 

data, banking data, or travel data under circumstances that would cause a reasonable person to 

perceive a threat to DoD personnel, facilities, or forces in transit. 

i. Sabotage, Tampering, or Vandalism. Damaging, manipulating, or defacing part of a DoD 

facility, infrastructure, or protected site. Acts of vandalism committed by DoD civilian 

employees, Service members, or their dependents should not be reported as suspicious activity 

unless those acts relate to a pattern of criminal activity or otherwise would cause a reasonable 

person to perceive a threat to DoD personnel, facilities, or forces in transit. 

j. Surveillance. Monitoring the activity of DoD personnel, facilities, processes, or systems, 

including showing unusual interest in a facility, infrastructure, or personnel (e.g., observation 

14 ENCLOSURE 4 DoDI 2000.26, November 1, 2011 

15 ENCLOSURE 4 

through binoculars, taking notes, drawing maps or diagrams of the facility, and taking pictures or 

video of a facility, infrastructure, personnel, or the surrounding environment) under 

circumstances that would cause a reasonable person to perceive a threat to DoD personnel, 

facilities, or forces in transit. 

k. Testing of Security. A challenge to, or a series of interactions with DoD installations, 

vessels, personnel, or systems that could reveal physical, personnel, or capabilities 

vulnerabilities. 

l. Theft, Loss, or Diversion. Theft or loss associated with a DoD facility or infrastructure 

(e.g., of badges, uniforms, identification cards, emergency vehicles, technology, or documents, 

whether classified or unclassified) that are proprietary to the facility, or a diversion of attention 

from a DoD facility or infrastructure that is related to a theft or loss associated with that facility. 

m. Weapons Discovery. Discovery of weapons or explosives, as defined in section 930 of 

Reference (q). The discovery of personal weapons legally owned by DoD civilian employees, 

Service members, or their dependents should not be reported as suspicious activity if the 

discovery is solely the result of the owner’s failure to properly store or secure the weapons. 

n. Unexplained Absences of International Military Students. International military students 

who are unexpectedly absent from scheduled activities when the absence is without proper 

authorization and lasts more than 24 hours, and an appropriate official with the host DoD 

organization determines that the absence is not due to a misunderstanding in scheduling, to 

sickness, or to another similar reason. DoDI 2000.26, November 1, 2011
