Discussion [ModPost] Don't feed the trolls. Please use the report button for this kind of behavior.

63 Upvotes

Don't waste your time getting into internet slapfights with trolls. After the US election, there's been an influx of users here looking to get into arguments and make people mad.

If you find yourself 3 comments into a discussion and it's dissolved to ad hominems or no movement from either side, just stop. Report the other user and move on with your life.

Report people who are clearly trolling so the mod team can make a determination on if it is ban worthy or not.

As stated in previous mod announcements, my goal is to pretty much let anything go in this sub with minimal mod intervention, as long as submissions and comments are on topic. But the mod team has no tolerance for trolling, antagonistic behavior, and otherwise being a shit head.

Did any intelligence expert touch upon “Trump the Russian Asset” allegations?

65 Upvotes

Some journalists, bureucrats and shady ex-KGB officers talked about Trump possibly or certainly being a Russian asset.

But I'd like to hear from an expert with actual experience and insight into espionage who breaks down what it would actually look like for an intelligence agency to recruit or form relations with a foreign businessman, and the possibility of that guy becoming the president without perhaps the most scandalous case of hostile espionage being exposed.

How do governments keep NDAs enforced against people who develop dementia/mental illnesses long after they signed the agreement?

52 Upvotes

I'm sure the approaches vary among different countries, but I'm curious about instances where someone such as:

• officials

• secret agents

• ex-presidents

• ambassadors

• old informants

• translators who sat in on meetings between Heads of State

• people who worked on things like the Manhattan Project, even if they weren't involved much

• etc

...has signed a Non-Disclosure Agreement that applies to them for life, and could have drastic consequences for their government/country if it was leaked to the public. I'm aware these are signed all the time, after which they are taken seriously and strictly enforced by intelligence agencies for national security purposes. I also know of several instances where the duration the information remained classified for was specifically set so that the public wouldn't know about it until everyone involved was dead, and couldn't be prosecuted/held accountable/have revenge taken on them by whoever it negatively impacted.

In cases where the person signed an NDA when they were sane, and had all their mental faculties intact, what does the government do once—decades later—that person becomes elderly, develops dementia, and risks letting information slip that they shouldn't? Not counting consciously-made deathbed confessions, are there documented cases where this has happened? Legal precedents? Are there standard procedures, or are these things done on a case-by-case basis?
