As noted below, there will be two meetings "back to back." Doors open at 4:55 and activities conclude by 9PM.
The Meeting Agenda will be to discuss the current Agenda.
In 2013, The New York Times reported on the existence of a previously unknown data-mining program known as Project Hemisphere. The project was developed in secret by telecommunications giant AT&T and the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) as a tool to help with "drug-enforcement task-forces." However, there is concern about mass surveillance of innocent individuals. Hemisphere searches trillions of phone records, identifies the name and location of each and individual on the phone, and then sends the data back to the DOJ.
Now, U.S. Magistrate Judge Maria-Elena James has found that the U.S. government has failed to justify their reasoning for denying Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests related to Project Hemisphere. Judge James order the DOJ to provide her with files for her own private review.
As of this writing, it is unclear to the person writing this if the usual SECOND Sunday meeting will happen due to the meeting the week prior.
