Want to See Your NSA or FBI File? Here's How... (http://www.dailykos.com/story/2013/06/11/1215421/-Want-to-See-Your-NSA-or-FBI-File-Here-s-How) by The Troubadour (http://www.dailykos.com/user/The%20Troubadour)Follow (http://www.dailykos.com/story/2013/06/11/1215421/-Want-to-See-Your-NSA-or-FBI-File-Here-s-How#?friend_id=161697&is_stream=1) for Writing by David Harris Gershon (http://www.dailykos.com/blog/Writing%20by%20David%20Harris%20Gershon)




Have you ever Tweeted a politically subversive message, attended a protest, or signed an oppositional petition? If so, you may have a dedicated file on you kept by the FBI and/or the NSA.
With a simple Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request, any U.S. citizen can obtain one's NSA or FBI file, if such a file exists.
It simply takes a few minutes to fill out the requisite forms and mail them to the appropriate address. An independent site – www.getmyfbifile (http://www.getmyfbifile.com/) – will, free of charge, generate the necessary forms for you already filled out.
Of course, you can also do this directly through the NSA (http://www.nsa.gov/public_info/foia/submit_foia_request/foia_request_form.shtml) or FBI (http://www.fbi.gov/foia/requesting-fbi-records) if you are worried about providing personal information to an independent site.
While an appropriate level of cynicism may be warranted concerning the level of transparency one should expect from such a request – should your file be substantial – it is the law that your complete file be provided to you upon request.
Demand that the law be followed, for it is your right as a citizen to know this information.
My request is going in the mail today.

You could get it with a lot of black out spaces and lines.....they used to do it in the old days but by putting the paper against a light you were able to read what was under the black out spaces, that has been changed.

Wouldn't asking for your info potentially produce a file? Just asking.

Hey Ponce if you ask for yours dont forget to sign it ...........V....haha

They'll probably say no file exists because no one has ever manually read it. But they'll have a massive algorithmically created file that anyone can pull up at any time.

Redacted copies.

Every so often they would slip up and let a persons name get by.

How would the victim asking his oppressor for any information he has about himself serve any purpose other than legitimizing his own oppression?

Victim is a state of mind.

I am not oppressed.

Nor will I ever be.

Mind is infinite.

You would have a ball if you had seen mine.......I would say that around 45% of it was wrong and about 70% of my "criminal" career was wrong.........must of the time they didn't even know that I was operating outside the country...but they made a big deal of me and JFK because of one of the groups that I was with....I do have my file #.

...Mind is infinite.

Expand the thought:

The mind has transfinite possibilities, and if you consciously choose, can gain a connection to the infinite.

So do you IMAGINE that your labor is not stolen from you and that your private property is not regulated and controlled by the STATE?


I understand your point, but it is not valid until you RECOGNIZE that you are indeed oppressed.

You can admit that you are oppressed without playing the role of 'victim'.

How are you so sure that Uncle Salty is oppressed? Is that not an assumption (although I can see why it could be thought a safe one)?

Because it is (almost) 100% impossible to live in on planet earth and lead a voluntary lifestyle. If im wrong uncle salty, please show me. It was a blanket statement (not a personal attack) which i think everyone knows to be true to some degree or another if they are willing to admit it to themselves.

The only people that are not oppressed in one way or another are dead people.

Andy Dufrane said they could never take away his music. So he was able to 'hear' music in his head.......WHILE HE WAS LOCKED IN A PHYSICAL CAGE.

William Wallace said the words "They will never take our freedom"........WHILE THEY CHOPPED HIS HEAD OFF.
