State Sponsors of Terrorism

Countries determined by the Secretary of State to have repeatedly provided support for acts of international terrorism are designated pursuant to three laws: section 6(j) of the Export Administration Act, section 40 of the Arms Export Control Act, and section 620A of the Foreign Assistance Act. Taken together, the four main categories of sanctions resulting from designation under these authorities include restrictions on US foreign assistance; a ban on defense exports and sales; certain controls over exports of dual use items; and miscellaneous financial and other restrictions.

Countries: Syria (1979) - Iran (1984) - Sudan (1993)

Designation under the above-referenced authorities also implicates other sanctions laws that penalize persons and countries engaging in certain trade with state sponsors.

To designate a country as a State Sponsor of Terrorism, the Secretary of State must determine that the government of such country has repeatedly provided support for acts of international terrorism. Once a country is designated, it remains a State Sponsor of Terrorism until the designation is rescinded in accordance with statutory criteria.

A wide range of sanctions are imposed as a result of a State Sponsor of Terrorism designation, including:

A ban on arms-related exports and sales

Controls over exports of dual-use items, requiring 30-day Congressional notification for goods or services that could significantly enhance the terrorist-list country’s military capability or ability to support terrorism

Prohibitions on economic assistance

Imposition of miscellaneous financial and other restrictions

"The international community awaits a response by the International Criminal Court, who has been provided eye witness reports and evidence, disseminated by the international media for close to one year. To abandon civilians without food, water, electricity or medical care has severely damaged the credibility of the United Nations as a representative body, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and International Law." -- Stephen M. Apatow, President, Humanitarian Resource Institute (UN:NGO:DESA), Member, International Bar Association War Crimes Committee, March 2012.

FISA abuse 'must never happen again' : Barr and Wray announce surveillance reforms

Attorney General William Barr authored two memos, dated Tuesday, that the Justice Department said will “empower the FBI to build a more robust internal compliance program” and “will ensure, among other things, the accuracy of FISA applications, as well as the active oversight of applications targeting federal elected officials, candidates for federal elected office, and their staffs.” -- -- FISA abuse 'must never happen again': Barr and Wray announce surveillance reforms: Washington Examiner, 1 September 2020. 

The crimes committed against Michael Flynn (Former Dir. of DIA, Asst. Dir. of Partner Engagement, ODNI, Dir. of Intelligence for the Joint Staff and CENTCOM) caused shockwaves through Federal agencies and the Department of Defense. Everyone's greatest fear was use use of surveillance technologies for law enforcement, for collection of communications, specifically for the purpose of damaging the reputation or career of a U.S. Citizen. See: Searchable texts between Peter Strzok & Lisa Page www.thespygateproject.org -- Midyear Exam Files: www.themyefiles.org --

The list of international crimes associated with this case, in the context of investigations that would have justified a request for a FISA warrant:

Violent Protests: Insider Threat Month

The National Counterintelligence and Security Center (NCSC) and the National Insider Threat Task Force (NITTF) are today partnering with U.S. government agencies and private sector entities to kick off “National Insider Threat Awareness Month” during September 2020.  -- NCSC and the National Insider Threat Task Force (NITTF) Kick Off “National Insider Threat Awareness Month”: ODNI, 1 September 2020.

With a rise in domestic terrorism, it is increasingly important to analyze trends in terrorist tactics and targets. According to CSIS data, firearms were the most common weapon used in fatal attacks over the past five years by far-right, far-left, and Salafi-jihadist terrorists. In addition, the most common targets were individuals based on their ethnicity, race, or religion (such as African Americans, Latinos, Jews, and Muslims) for right-wing extremists; and government, military, and police targets for left-wing extremists and Salafi-jihadists. -- The Tactics and Targets of Domestic Terrorists: CSIS, 29 July 2020.

Apolitical Federal Agencies and Armed Forces Essential

The Hatch Act, a federal law passed in 1939, limits certain political activities of federal employees (except members of the Armed Forces), as well as some state, D.C., and local government employees who work in connection with federally funded programs. The law’s purposes are to ensure that federal programs are administered in a nonpartisan fashion, to protect federal employees from political coercion in the workplace, and to ensure that federal employees are advanced based on merit and not based on political affiliation (U.S. Office of Special Counsel website). -- How the Hatch Act Can Affect Your Security Clearance: Clearance Jobs, 14 September 2016.

Today, American institutions are front and center as we simultaneously confront the triple threat of an active pandemic, civil unrest spurred by racial injustice, and an economic crisis. Resolving these crises will require a coordinated effort from all our democratic institutions: the three branches of our federal government, our state governments, our military, our press, our business communities, and academia. Although the military is an entity within the executive branch, its place within our constitutional order requires special consideration and respect to secure the intentions of our nation’s forefathers. -- An apolitical military is essential to maintaining balance among American institutions: Joseph Votel Commentary, Military Times, 8 June 2020.
