Dear Producer,
Donate to No Agenda today, by clicking here. and choosing an amount that suits you. Your help is important.
Halfway through the month, and we have yet to see a return of things to normal. After No Agenda has disarmed the fear-mongering of Covid with real facts and genuine news analysis unhampered by corporate interference, many in the audience of producers think that’s great. Now you don’t need the new sheriff in the town. The bad guys are eliminated, take your badge and leave.
The problem is that government lies and scammers at the top are still at it and the mainstream news media acts like an arm of the government. Other podcasts that try to break this down utilize comical outrage to get your attention. “Those bastards!” This is useless because it does not give you any sort of fundamental understanding of the mechanisms of power and how the real bad guys are enabled by the co-opted media particularly the TV networks and the New York Times/WAPO nexus.
TV wasn’t nicknamed the “boob tube” and called a “vast wasteland” for no good reason. And why should a New York regional newspaper, for example, set the code of conduct nationally? What is the connection between someone living in Portland, Oregon and New York City? Or Washington, DC, for that matter? They don’t even have organized hot dog carts or horse carriage rides through the park in Portland.
The world is not an extension of New York City, which has bordered on a hellhole since the outbreak of Covid. Why is this tail wagging the dog? Your No Agenda Show breaks this down and exposes these anomalies better than any other news analysis program. Please support it.

Tomorrow's Show The debate continues as to why Biden has been caught with classified documents and what it all means for Joe, Kamala, DeSantis, Trump, Newsom, Michelle, etc. At this point it’s comical as you watch the Trump abuse and Biden apologies. |

The No Agenda Briefing on Classified Docs This comes from one of the No Agenda producers with the background necessary to produce this briefing. It’s definitive and something only No Agenda will provide without bias. |

SCIF: Sensitive Compartmentalized Information Facility. - Typically this is a physical location (room, building, etc) with specific physical security measures to keep classified information safe. Those with access can view, store, print, or otherwise access the products. The Congressional SCIF (I presume) is just for viewing...Not sure where the committees that have access actually do their work, which would probably create classified documents.
- SCIFs are rated for the classification level of information they contain. All of these locations have strict access requirements including the appropriate clearance, access lists and badges, no mobile devices, earbuds, smart watches, etc.
- TS - Top Secret (exceptionally grave damage to National Security)
- S - Secret (grave damage to National Security)
- CUI - Controlled Unclassified Information (replaced For Official Use Only - FOUO) and includes things like personally identifiable info, or other things that we generally want to keep private, but aren't strictly classified.
- Another way to accidentally attain a higher classification is by adding multiple pieces of unclassified information together. This is one of the things we have to be careful of, because if you're not careful, the final document might be a higher classification because of the sum of its parts.
- Classification markings are not only on the cover sheet, but also throughout the document itself, including pages and individual paragraphs.
- Classified documents generally have to stay inside SCIFs. Documents can only come out if properly packaged to protect the information and then are carried by official couriers with special training, clearances, and lockable courier cases. Not quite a briefcase with handcuffs, but close.
Computer Systems: - There are classified computer networks which have no connection (air gaps) to the regular internet or outside world. These are essentially completely securely self-contained and handle information up to a particular classification level; so, there are secret systems as well as top secret systems. TS can handle any level up to TS (including secret). Secret can only handle up to secret info. These systems include email clients so you can send documents to other users with access and need to know.
- There are also unclassified computer systems for daily work that have internet connectivity, but are regulated by IT policies and systems that filter what you can get to. E.g., for the longest time, Al Jazeera News wasn't accessible on the unclassified network.
- Also, all users sign acceptable use policies as a prereq to getting network access, and sites that are forbidden in the AUP are routinely blocked; so if there's a bad link on the page (site, video, etc.), you'll often get an intimidatingly official looking "ACCESS TO THIS SITE IS FORBIDDEN" in that space. Sometimes it's the whole page.
Getting a Clearance. - How one gets a security clearance is another saga that includes a veritable colonoscopy of background checks going over years of your past, personal connections, rap sheets, foreign travel, credit score and finances, past addresses, scrutiny of your family and much more including an in person interview, and if required, possibly a polygraph. Good times.
- Clearances are also re-vetted periodically to make sure the person is still considered safe to have a clearance. It used to be that clearance reviews only happened every 5 or 10 years (depending on the clearance level), but they're changing that to "continuous vetting" now where the security apparatus overseeing this will be alerted to things like criminal offenses, bankruptcies, other "derog" (derogatory) information; one can presume that they're closely looking at social media and such as well.
All of this to say that classified information should be taken seriously and there are myriad policies, and procedures deliberately put in place to ensure that it is cared for properly. Even though he may have declassified it, Trump probably shouldn't have had that stuff at Mar a Lago (declassified or not, that doesn't mean that it lost any of its importance or potential to cause harm to the country). Nor should the former VP Biden have had classified dox hanging out in file boxes in his (locked) garage. There may be legitimate reasons for former presidents to have that type of stuff, but it never negates the handling requirements. |
