ObjectiveThe Chairman of the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs requested that the DoD Office of Inspector General (DoD OIG) determine whether noncareer officials (political appointees or persons nominated by the President and confirmed by the U.S. Senate) were adversely affecting the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) process at the DoD between January 2007 and July 2015. In response, we determined whether DoD noncareer officials unduly influenced the FOIA response process through unnecessary delays or withholding of information that would have otherwise been released absent the noncareer official’s involvement. FindingOur evaluation did not disclose any instances of DoD noncareer officials unduly influencing t he F OIA r esponse p rocess. On November 9, 2015, we advised the Chairman of the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs of our evaluation results (see Appendix D). During the course of this evaluation, however, we determined that DoD FOIA policies a re outdated. The DoD Deputy Chief Management Officer (DCMO) had not updated DoD FOIA policies, as required by DoD Instruction 5025.01, “DoD Issuance Program,” to ensure currency and accuracy. The DoD FOIA policies did not include requirements established in Executive Order 13392, “Improving Agency Disclosure of Information,” and the “OPEN Government Act of 2007.” According to the Executive Order and the Act, agencies must review their FOIA processing operations, report on their FOIA improvement plan implementation, and strengthen procedures related to FOIA administration. Additionally, the DCMO did not incorporate guidance being used for “significant” FOIA releases into DoD Regulation 5400.7-R, “DoD Freedom of Information Act Program.” A “significant” FOIA request is defined as any FOIA request in which the subject matter of the released documents may be of interest to DoD senior leadership, the public, the media, or Congress.

ARAŞTIRMA DOSYASI : Department of Homeland Security (DHS), Office of lntelligence and Analysis (I&A) Reports
According to the Department of Homeland Security, the following is the Office of lntelligence and Analysis’ mission statement: BackgroundThe Intelligence and Analysis (I&A) mission is to equip the Homeland Security Enterprise with the intelligence and information it needs to keep the homeland safe, secure, and resilient. I&A’s mission is supported by four strategic goals:
AnalysisOur analysis is guided by our Program of Analysis (POA), an assessment of key analytic issues, framed as key intelligence questions (KIQ). These KIQs are shaped by customer needs, Administration and Departmental leadership priorities, and resources. Our KIQs are organized by time frame.
As might be expected of an intelligence element supporting a Cabinet-level Department, about half of our KIQs in the POA focus on providing intelligence to respond to the strategic needs of our customers. This is followed by our focus on immediate and ongoing threat. About 10 percent of our focus is on identifying new topics and issues that could impact the Department and its customers. Below you will find records associated with the DHS/I&A and the reports they produce.

ARAŞTIRMA DOSYASI : Agency Inspector General Reports and Investigations
BackgroundAgencies periodically conduct their own special investigations and produce reports about certain allegations against their respective departments. For example, the CIA Inspector General produced a report regarding the allegations of the connection between the CIA and drug trafficking. Each agency will do the same types of investigations. Below, you will find reports and indexes that are relevant. I decided to compile them here in one archive, as it is interesting to show a complete set of allegations/investigations. Declassified DocumentsCentral Intelligence Agency (CIA) Inspector GeneralCIA Inspector General Report of Investigation: Improper Handling of Classified Information by John M.

They previously had received DOE Loan Program Office financing. These files are the first release relating to their investigation. National Nuclear Security Administration Nuclear Weapons Systems Configuration Management, March 2014 [30 Pages, 0.8MB] – The Office of Inspector General received multiple allegations regarding the National Nuclear Security Administration’s (NNSA) management of configuration management (CM) information. The allegations related to incomplete product definitions for NNSA nuclear weapons, and ineffective management of classified nuclear weapons drawings, a situation that could lead to unauthorized changes to the drawings. In response, we initiated this audit to determine whether NNSA had maintained accurate and complete CM information for nuclear weapons and nuclear weapons components to support safe, sound and timely decisions related to these devices. The review substantiated the allegations and identified instances in which NNSA had not maintained accurate and complete CM information for its nuclear weapons and components. DOE/IG Finds 6 BILLION U.S. Dollars MISSING, March 20, 2014 [9 Pages, 1.78MB] – The Office ofInspector General (OIG), in recent audits, investigations, and inspections, has identified significant vulnerabilities in the management of contract file documentation that could expose the Department to substantial financial losses. Specifically, over the past 6 years, OIG has identified Department of State (Department) contracts with a total value of more than $6 billion in which contract files were incomplete or could not be located at all. The failure to maintain contract files adequately creates significant financial risk and demonstrates a lack of internal control over the Department’s contract actions.

MK ULTRA PROJECT : International Committee on Offensive Microwave Weapons on the “NIEHS Working Group Report”
Taken from a statement by
Harlan Girard, Managing Director
International Committee on Offensive Microwave Weapons on the “NIEHS Working Group Report”
National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences
Washington, D.C.
September 28, 1998
My name is Harlan Girard, and I am the Managing Director of the International Committee on Offensive Microwave Weapons, located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. I would like to comment in the broadest way possible on the Working Group Report, rather than specifics, because lurking behind the science of human health effects from exposure to power-line frequency electric and magnetic fields are powerful interests and government programs whose existence has never been publicly acknowledged. Yet they are always present, or re-presented, in debates concerning the science itself and the continued funding of science seeking answers to the questions you have addressed. And their interests are not your own.
In 1982, an obscure organization called the Congressional Clearinghouse on the Future published a study titled “Future Agenda”. The Congress is always focused on problems requiring immediate resolution. The obscure chairman of the Clearinghouse proposed to take a look into the future by polling all the subcommittees in the House of Representatives. He asked them to tell him what they believed would be the burning issues before their subcommittee ten years in the future.
In two places in that report, “Future Agenda”, the words ‘offensive microwave weapons’ are used, and in one place the words ‘offensive microwave weapons’ are linked with the words ‘and mind-control mechanisms.’ I have never seen the words ‘offensive microwave weapons’ used in any other government report. We’ve never had the public discussion of ‘offensive microwave weapons’ which should have occurred by 1992, but these weapons are out there and they are being used on human beings, both experimentally and operationally.
Because of my interest in the technology of ‘offensive microwave weapons’, I am frequently contacted by people who believe they are being assaulted (and mind-controlled) with microwave weapons by the United States Government. Since 1990 I have spent countless hours listening to these people and attempting to separate truth from delusion, to separate the credible cases of involuntary human experimentation from people who “wanna be” victims of government research.
In 1991, I had a long conversation about the problem of ‘mind-control mechanisms’ with W. Ross Adey. He counseled me to forget these victims because the Central Intelligence Agency would soon lose interest in electric and magnetic field effects and go onto something else. The outcome has been quite the opposite of what he expected, and in recent years the reports crossing my desk (and tying up my telephone) have accelerated greatly. Not only that, but new words are entering the vocabulary of the military and intelligence establishments: biological process control, cognitive warfare, synthetic telepathy, information operations, beta wave incapacitators and psycho-technologies.
Now I took the words ‘offensive microwave weapons’ as the name of my public interest advocacy group because the obscure Chairman of the Congressional Clearinghouse on the Future in 1982 is a very prominent man in 1998. His name is Albert Gore, Jr. (Vice President of the United States of America). So we know that at the highest level of government discussions have been held about ‘offensive microwave weapons’ and ‘mind-control mechanisms’.
My point is this: how can the United States Government endorse and fund and act on the health effects from exposure to electric and magnetic fields at the same time as it is weaponizing the biological effects and health effects of those very same fields? What interest does the United States have, particularly in health effects, when human beings are being involuntarily exposed to enormous amounts of radiation in a Manhattan-type project to unlock the secrets of the human mind and consciousness?
The biological and health effects of human exposure to electric and magnetic fields of every frequency are already well known to the military and intelligence establishments. They are being weaponized. I urge you to join me in asking that those Special Access Programs in which such involuntary human experimentation takes place be opened, for the health and well being of all mankind.
ARAŞTIRMA DOSYASI : Cold War Era – Reports & Records
The following are uncategorized documents from the Cold War era. They are listed on this page until they are properly categorized. Acquisition Management in the U.S. Air Force and Its Predecessors, 1997 [66 Pages] Air Combat Command (ACC) and the Legacy of the Cold War, December 1995 [3,228 Pages, 124.91MB] – The end of the Cold War in 1989 brought with it a restructuring of the Department of Defense. The ACC came into existence on June 1, 1992, incorporating assets from the Strategic Air Command (SAC), Tactical Air Command (TAC), and Military Airlift Command (MAC). During the Cold War, SAC and TAC had the primary responsibility of enforcing United States policies around the world through the deployment of air power, especially to contain and deter communism. Air Defense Command (ADC; renamed Aerospace Defense Command in 1968) and SAC had the primary responsibility for deterrence and air defense of the continental United States; TAC supported this mission. The bulk of the USAF ACC real property holdings are related to SAC, ADC, and TAC activities. Although the USAF missile program was transferred to the United States Space Command, under the operational authority of the North American Aerospace Defense Command in July 1993, the missile fields remain under the administration of ACC through the individual bases. The Crowded Path to Unlimited Soviet Arsenals, September 21, 1994 [ 157 Pages, 4.89MB ] – What Soviet Party Leaders, General Staff, and Industrialists Thought They Were Doing in the Cold War. This volume contains much of the raw material on which this study is based. All items in this collection represent the testimony, in some form, of Soviet and American strategic planners and analysts whose professional careers were largely dominated by the need to understand and respond effectively to the military threat from their Cold War opponents. Richard Helms as Director of the CIA, 1993 [ 229 Pages ] Talking Points for the DCI, January, 1990 – Current Soviet Troop Strengths in Afghanistan.

It presents the subject of tactics and its place and role in the military art and indicates the material basis of modern combined-arms combat, its character, and the most important principles of conducting it. Basic attention is allotted to the discussion of the content of offensive, encounter, and defensive combat. Status of AID Project, as of 30 June 1964 [43 Pages, 5.10mb] – Document listing different periodicals and reference aids from the Soviet Union. Interesting titles. Still unclear where this intelligence might be. Stranger than Fiction. Soviet Submarine Operations in Swedish Waters, January 1990 [86 Pages, 4.3mb] – The Soviets have conducted submarine operations in Swedish waters continuously since World War II. Although the evidence of these violations of Sweden’s territorial waters is incomplete, Swedish authorities indicate that submarine operations were carried out infrequently and at irregular intervals during the 1960s and into the late 1970s. |
