Top secret documents are any information that is classified in the interest of national security. In the United States this includes all official documentation that is classified.
According to court documents that were unsealed Friday, the FBI confiscated a number classified documents during a recent search of Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago in Florida. These documents include those classified as "top secret", the highest classification level, and others labeled with "TS/SCI", top secret/sensitive compartmented data.
Classification levels are based on how much damage a leak could do to U.S. interests, Mark Zaid, an attorney specializing in national security issues told NPR. The designations may be marked by code words. Only those with clearance can see the words.
These codes also allow people to easily identify and share parts of the document that are less sensitive.
The highest classification for top secret documents is "top secret," however, the document may also be classified using a "codeword" such as "SECRET" (CODE WORD). Zaid explained that the only person who can access this information is someone who has received clearance for that codeword.
These classification levels protect the nation's secrets and those which, if disclosed publicly, would harm U.S. interest, according to officials.
When top secret information is accessed, it must be done with a special clearance that requires the person to have a background check and pass a criminal investigation. These clearances can only be obtained from the FBI or Secret Service.
The agency that issued this clearance may renew it. It also is required to keep a record of who accessed a document and for how long.
Usually, a top secret document isn't published, even in an official capacity, as it may cause "exceptionally grave" damage. If a top-secret document is ever published, only the most prestigious journals will do, and this can take up to months.
The term top secret is not unique to the United States; it is a general term for the highest classification. In England, for instance, top-secret information is called 'Top Secret Identified.
Other countries use different classification systems. But US government documents follow the CIA classification system.
A high-level document is characterized as top secret when the agency that created it assigns it that level, according to US law enforcement officials.
If a top secret document is accessed, it is required to be treated as top secret for the duration of that access, Zaid said. This means a top-secret document cannot be given to a third party for any reason.
FAQ
What is the reason actors are blacklisted?
An actor is more likely to get rejected than a writer. As an actor, it's likely that you will be rejected a lot. It doesn't matter, because you will eventually find someone you love.
Actors are typically very talented and can earn a living virtually anywhere. Actors don't really care about making money. They love acting, and they love telling stories. So if you're an actor, chances are you're going to put yourself out there.
Even worse, you might be told you are too young or too old to play the part. Sometimes, you may lose an audition for a movie. This happens all the time.
But once you've been cast, you may also face criticism. People will tell you that you look terrible or shouldn't be wearing makeup. If you're lucky, you won't even hear negative comments.
Sometimes, you might be criticised for playing a role that isn’t authentic or realistic. Perhaps you play a homosexual man and everyone thinks that you're straight. Perhaps you play a woman that is supposed to be strong but who cries a lot.
Maybe you are asked to change your vocal chords. Sometimes they ask you to sound like a guy or a girl. They want you to sound better most of the time.
Negative criticisms are best ignored. Actors often feel that they've failed if they are told they did something wrong. But the truth is that they haven't done anything wrong.
They weren't born with a talent that made them famous. Sometimes they don't fit that bill no matter how hard or if they try.
There are many reasons an actor might be blacklisted. Some people don't like actors. Others feel that actors are lazy. Some actors may be cheaters.
No matter what the reason, you won't be blacklisted if your persistence persists. There are many opportunities for you to find your role.
Keep trying and you will eventually succeed.
Do you wonder how much trash is produced each day across the globe?
The United Nations estimates that the average person generates more than 2.5 pounds of waste each day. This adds up to over 25 million pounds of garbage annually!
Most of this trash ends up in landfill dumps or incinerators.But what happens when those dumpsters get full? Where does all that rubbish go?Well, most of it gets shipped out of the country. It then gets dumped in foreign countries, polluting their ecosystems. However, now we know where all that trash goes. His name is Mike Sexton. He is the owner of Waste Watchers. His job involves monitoring the movements and routes of trash trucks across North America. Then he reports back to us about what happens next.
Sexton claims he is very satisfied with his job. CNN interviewed Sexton and said that he has a lot of fun. "You know, we see these big rigs come through town, and we'll follow them. "Sexton began following truckers almost 20 year ago.
He stated, "I just fell in Love with It."
Sexton loved the story about the driver who pulled over at an abandoned gas station close to Los Angeles. Sexton described, "The guy was looking somewhere to put his load." "He drove down the road and saw this building. So he backed up and went inside. "There were two enormous roll-off containers filled with stuff. He took out everything and began to fill up the truck. "The man looked around the area and decided to unload all of it. There were a bunch of old tires, rags, furniture, mattresses, boxes, bottles, cans, and whatever else. It was a complete mess. But it had been cleared out before he arrived. There was no trash."
This begs the question: Why? The answer is that this location was once part of a recycling facility. People who knew about it would drive to this location to recycle their garbage. Sexton explained, "They would bring their household goods and take them here," and they would then empty the containers.
This could happen hundreds of time per week. The truck can be stopped running if it is so full of junk that it has to come back hundreds of times per week. And eventually, the owner decides to abandon the vehicle.
Trash is not the only problem our planet faces.
The majority of these particles are made of small pieces of plastic. Others end up in rivers, oceans or the stomachss of fish.
Experts warn us that we may soon face an international food shortage if things don't change. One expert said, "If we keep going as we are going, we're never going to make it," but most people don’t seem concerned.
What are some dark secrets in Hollywood?
Hollywood is filled with secret societies. There are secret societies that are more cult-like than others. They have members who follow specific rules and rituals. While some are clubs for those with similar interests, others are not.
There are also other, more evil organizations that control large parts of the industry. These include the MPAA (Motion Picture Association of America), the organization that sets film ratings and RIAA(Recording Industry Association of America), the company that sets music licensing fees.
Numerous unions and guilds also represent actors, directors, writers, producers, etc. The majority of major television networks and movie studios are owned by large corporations.
It is obvious that, no matter how secretive or obtuse a group appears, someone knows exactly what they do. But that doesn't mean we should fear them.
Instead, embrace them. Because they offer us information that can help us make better decision.
They can tell us which movies and songs are likely to be successful, as well as what books and novels will be most popular.
They help us make decisions about what we will buy, watch, listen to, or read.
Because we can trust them, we can ignore their advice when it conflicts with our tastes.
Because we have chosen to ignore their power, they are even more powerful. They are the ultimate judges of taste.
They can be ignored if you don’t like what they have to say.
So now let's look at some of the lesser-known but still very real Hollywood secret societies.
You can see why they are so vital.
What is the most fascinating fact about the human body
Two eyes, two ears, 2 nostrils, 4 limbs, 1 nose, 1 penis and one mouth are all there. We have over 50 parts of our bodies. However, one thing is missing. A heart.
The heart is a pump that circulates blood throughout your body. The blood travels through the veins and arteries, transporting oxygen and nutrients to cells. It also removes carbon dioxide.
Each minute, the heart pumps 5 liters of blood. This is equivalent of an adult drinking 2 to 3 cups of coffee each day.
Blood flows throughout the heart 24 hours per day, 365 Days a Year. While you sleep, your heart beats almost 100 times per minute.
Skin color can be used to determine if someone has a medical condition. You can see tiny blood vessels, called capillaries, when you look closely at the skin. These tiny vessels transport blood from the larger blood vessels to the heart. The skin turns purple or blue when there is a blockage in blood flow.
People with sickle cell disease lack red blood cells. Their blood becomes extremely sticky and hardened, which can lead to very serious illnesses.
You can use a bandage to stop bleeding if your cut is severe. For the wound to heal properly, blood must continue to flow. Doctors place a needle in the wound and insert it through the skin. This allows blood flow to the area that has been injured.
A doctor can also insert tubes (catheters), into an artery in the vicinity of where blood clots form. This keeps the patient occupied until the clot is broken down naturally.
