As my blog says I am curious about a lot of things. Recently I put in a FOIA request, I'm sure most of you know what that is. However, some may not and simply put it is a public service by the government for information processing for the citizens who would request information. I recently put in one request for any relationship between the US government FBI or CIA agents with a South American man who predicted 9/11 a year or so before it happened. He was considered a prophet and the response from FOIA. That mans name was Kim Clement and I wrote back FOIA and said I only want to see if his prophecies of the past came true. Nothing nefarious at all in my thinking. I surely did not expect it to be a National Security Issue.
There response was, "We can neither confirm on deny due to NATIONAL SECURITY REASONS" blah blah blah and relationship with the FBI or CIA.
Wow, that says a lot. Um.
A few weeks later I had another curious interest. I wondered what relationship their might be between any military or intelligence agencies with the creation of BITCOIN.
Can you guess what the response was? Can you think why this might be the response? Can your believe that Bitcoin was created to usher in a new way of creating money? I simply wonder.
"We can neither confirm on deny due to NATIONAL SECURITY REASONS" blah blah blah and relationship with the FBI or CIA or any military or intelligence agencies.
That is right, this was the response. I wrote back and said FOIA is a joke.
I find it strange that the only two things I have ever put in a FOIA request for cannot be revealed for NATIONAL SECURITY REASONS.
It says without admitting it that there was a relationship of some kind in both cases. Even without gaining one shred of concrete information we do have a great deal of implication. Seems to me they answered the question in the affirmative without admitting it out loud.
