Principle of Freedom
Amendment IV of the Constitution - The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.
Principle of Collectivism
A fusion center is defined as a “collaborative effort of two or more agencies that provide resources, expertise, and information to the center with the goal of maximizing their ability to detect, prevent, investigate, and respond to criminal and terrorist activity.” Among the primary focuses of fusion centers are the intelligence and fusion processes, through which information is collected, integrated, evaluated, analyzed, and disseminated. Nontraditional collectors of intelligence, such as public safety entities and private sector organizations, possess important information (e.g., risk assessments and suspicious activity reports) that can be “fused” with law enforcement data to provide meaningful information and intelligence about threats and criminal activity. It is recommended that the fusion of public safety and private sector information with law enforcement data be virtual through networking and utilizing a search function. Examples of the types of information incorporated into these processes are threat assessments and information related to public safety, law enforcement, public health, social services, and public works.
Data fusion involves the exchange of information from different sources—including law enforcement, public safety, and the

The case OK-SAFE has been building and advancing for three years has finally made it to the mainstream media – the government is monitoring the American people.
State and Federal Representatives have steadfastly scoffed at the idea.
A Washington Post article entitled Monitoring America offers a window into the deceptive nature of our government.

Vision 2015 – A Globally Networked and Integrated Intelligence Enterprise (10MB)Strategy:
Integrate foreign, military, and domestic intelligence capabilities through policy, personnel and technology actions to provide decision advantage to policy makers, warfighters and homeland security officials and law enforcement personnel.- J.M. McConnell - Director of National Intelligence
We live in a dynamic world in which the pace, scope, and complexity of change are increasing. The continued march of
globalization, the growing number of independent actors, and advancing technology have increased global connectivity, interdependence and complexity, creating greater uncertainties, systemic risk and a less predictable future. These changes have led to reduced warning times and compressed decision cycles. Although this interconnected world offers many opportunities for technological innovation and economic growth, it also presents unique challenges and threats. In this environment, the key to achieving lasting strategic advantage is the ability to rapidly and accurately anticipate and adapt to complex challenges.

RFID DATA
SNIFFED |
|
| February 7, 2010 |
LAS VEGAS — It’s one of the most hostile hacker environments in the country –- the DefCon hacker conference held every summer in Las Vegas.
But despite the fact that attendees know they should take precautions to protect their data, federal agents at the conference got a scare on Friday when they were told they might have been caught in the sights of an RFID reader.
The reader, connected to a web camera, sniffed data from RFID-enabled ID cards and other documents carried by attendees in pockets and backpacks as they passed a table where the equipment was stationed in full view.
It was part of a security-awareness project set up by a group of security researchers and consultants to highlight privacy issues around RFID. When the reader caught an RFID chip in its sights — embedded in a company or government agency access card, for example — it grabbed data from the card, and the camera snapped the card holder’s picture.
This year they planned to add data collected from the RFID reader and camera (below) — to raise awareness about a privacy threat that’s becoming increasingly prevalent as RFID chips are embedded into credit cards, employee access cards, state driver’s licenses, passports and other documents.
You have probably heard of Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology in many different contexts. RFID describes a broad range of technologies that allow the identification and tracking of physical items using radio waves, and have far-reaching implications for processes as wide-ranging as factories, hospitals, airports, battlefields and retail sales.
RFID The Right Frequency for Government IBM
The integration of RFID technology with other information technology makes a paradigm shift now possible. RFID technology can track patient safety by error-proofing processes for medication, as well as providing global visibility of worldwide shipments, which will improve the flow of commerce and the security of nations. The future role of RFID will dramatically increase its impact over that of its predecessors.
The potential of RFID is indeed great. The supply chain management industry refers to the “three V’s of RFID”: visibility, velocity, and value. RFID promises to increase visibility to make earlier and better decisions and actions possible. Second, RFID will enable the flow of goods and information to be accelerated, with a higher certainty of information for decision making. Finally, RFID will enable important enhancement of value, often in new ways. As described by Professor Wyld, RFID offers the potential to provide increased safety for patients, faster movement of automobiles from manufacturer to dealer, and greater national security.

TRUCK TEXTING
BAN ENFORCEMENT |
|
| February 7, 2010 |
WASHINGTON — The Transportation Department said Tuesday it is prohibiting truck and bus drivers from sending text messages on hand-held devices while operating commercial vehicles.
The prohibition, which applies to drivers of interstate buses and trucks over 10,000 pounds, is effective immediately, the department said in a statement. Truck and bus drivers who text while driving commercial vehicles may be subject to civil or criminal penalties of up to $2,750, the department said.
LaHood said enforcing restrictions on texting and cell phone use by drivers will be difficult. He urged the wireless industry to work with public officials to come up with a solution.
The Transportation Department and safety advocates have also joined forces to create FocusDriven, an organization to campaign against cell phone use or texting on handheld computers while driving.

NAPOLITONO SPEECH |

| December 31, 2009 |
I think to do that requires us at the federal level in our organizational strategy to make clear that Fusion Centers are not just about isolated information-sharing, but they really are about taking information gathered at the state and local level and putting it into an analytical product that can be used at the federal level and that the federal law enforcement agencies are sharing the reverse at the state and local as much as can be done.
And second is that the partnerships involved in Fusion Centers need to be looked at very, very broadly. Who is in your
Third, have we made sure that through the Fusion Centers, we have created kind of seamless network of information-sharing not just vertically state to Fed, local to state to Fed, but also horizontally across the country at different levels, and have we taken into account all that that sharing can entail?

The Departments of Defense (DoD) and Homeland Security (DHS) today announced an initiative to grant select state and major urban area fusion center personnel access to classified terrorism-related information residing in DoD’s classified network.
Under this initiative, select fusion center personnel with a federal security clearance will be able to access specific terrorism-related information resident on the DoD Secret Internet Protocol Router Network (SIPRNet)—a secure network used to send classified data. This classified data will be accessed via DHS’ Homeland Security Data Network (HSDN). DHS will be responsible for ensuring that proper security procedures are followed.

Fusion Centers Raise Privacy Questions - Tulsa Beacon
The director of the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation said there is a constant balancing act between the basic rights of Americans and the need to investigate and prevent crime.
A controversial aspect to 21st Century crime fighting is the development of “fusion centers” across the country.
In fact, the OSBI created such a center in its headquarters in Oklahoma City.
A fusion center is defined as a “collaborative effort of two or more agencies that provide resources, expertise, and information to the center with the goal of maximizing their ability to detect, prevent, investigate, and respond to criminal and terrorist activity.” Among the primary focuses of fusion centers are the intelligence and fusion processes, through which information is

The terminology used in a MoU must reflect the fact that a MoU has no binding basis in law and is not a legal or contractual document. Specific terminology is reserved for use in contracts or treaties and should, therefore, be avoided in a MoU. While other terms may be used their use is discouraged.

Security Risk!? - April 15, 2009 - Dr. Everett Piper; President of Oklahoma Wesleyan University Who defines what these dangerous right wing issues are? The Fed? The DHS? The Congress? The President? Or maybe ACORN, the ACLU, NAMBLA, PETA, George Soros, Michael Moore, or even your State's governor or your local police chief? Does it concern you that someone who proudly and myopically wears the label of "Left" is now declaring that those on the "Right" are a security risk because of your ?extreme? and singular focus?

US SENATORS CHALLENGE DHS THREAT ASSESSMENT
|
|
| April 22, 2009 |
Dear Secretary Napolitano:
".....First, your report states that “rightwing extremists will attempt to recruit and radicalize returning veterans in order to exploit their skills and knowledge derived from military training and combat”. Using the DHS rationale, do you also believe that weapons familiarity and tactical training means local, state and federal law enforcement personnel, and members of the National Guard, are also being recruited? To suggest a soldier returning from combat tour is more prone to join an extremist group is unconscionable and insulting to our brave men and women who risk their lives protecting our freedom.
Second, the report states that millions of Americans who believe in the Second Amendment are a potential threat to our national security. Why? Do you have statistics to prove that law-abiding Americans who purchase a legal product are being recruited by so-called hate groups? If so, please present us with DHS’s independent data.
