- seize whatever Venezuelan oil money is in an offshore account
- rescind vaccine guidance changes
- rescind changes to PME
- rescind changes to service academy curricula
- enforce NISPOM drug testing requirements and start stripping facility clearances

Like I don't know if there's anything in the NISPOM about requiring a cleared contractor to take a piss test but that seems like a pretty easy start
A hypothetical that I think about a lot, given that we are deporting green card holders and US citizens, is whether a future administration could strip E*on M*sk of his citizenship and deport him to hell prison in Equatorial Guinea while simultaneously nationalizing SpaceX

NISPOM for thee but not for me

Again, we have the tools on the books already. Should we suddenly start caring about following the fucking laws and regulations of this country, the NISPOM is freely available for anyone to reference!

Oh yeah these people have more or less been violating every NISPOM regulation in the (literal) book. Even if Trump did use executive privilege to grant them all clearances, they're very blatantly violating operational requirements of those clearances.

lmaooooo
An NDA is not the same as a high level security clearance. And this NDA is not the same as described in NISPOM
Maybe they should watch Russell Crowe’s new Nuremberg movie when it comes out next week. Just some helpful advice.

“My job activities are currently Classified; per NISPOM, please remit Access Requests demonstrating appropriate clearance info, authorization, and need-to-know to my division CSO.”

I'd go further...

Much of Elon's bullshit (e.g., SpaceX's status as a cleared defense contractor despite apparently failing basic NISPOM compliance) is allowed to continue solely through the magnanimity of the US Government.

Starlink is almost certainly a cleared defense contractor. Per my limited understanding, Musk would almost certainly be considered Key Management Personnel requiring clearances under NISPOM and facility clearance rules.

The simple answer here is probably the correct one: Someone very senior in DoD probably overruled his staff and ordered them to grant SpaceX their facility clearance in violation of clear NISPOM regulations prohibiting it and despite the clearly serious counterintel concerns.
October 25, 2024 at 2:37 AM
That's somewhat ambiguous. NISPOM suggests key management personnel would need to be cleared. I think it's possible they've made an exception for him or approved alternative compensatory control measures, but it would be highly unusual. We've stripped companies of facility clearances for far less.

I have a basic-ass bare-bones Brother b&w printer and, speaking as someone who has actually been trained in NISPOM and other info/sec stuff, still don’t feel confident in using it to generate any sort of direct-action material.
March 24, 2025 at 7:30 PM
I don’t think that’s applicable in this case. NISPOM governs security policies for contractors. The black letter requirement is immediate reporting to the FSO and the cognizant agency, which was appears to have been illegally interfered with.

It’s National Security, not contract law now.

These clowns are likely already compromised.

If the Trump Admin had an ounce of sense, they’d issue an EO declaring all Frontier LLMs to be NATSEC assets and mandate compliance with:
32 CFR Part 117(NISPOM)

[Of course that won’t happen because of dumbassery]

I think there are some ambiguities about whether Key Management Personnel (KMPs) can be excluded from access to classified information under NISPOM rules. I don't understand the nuances.

NISPOM and facility clearance rules would almost certainly require him to hold a clearance as Key Management Personnel, right? Are you saying DoD or the internal company rules could also say, "the CEO is cleared, but he is forbidden from entering his own SCIF"? I admit this is outside my expertise.
September 16, 2024 at 2:02 PM
Eh... I think there are some NISPOM rules stating key management personnel need to be cleared for their programs, but it's not my area of expertise.

The good news is that since him no other NatSec Advisors have been...

*touches earpeice

Burn it all down. NISPOM, DODM 5100 and 5200 series. Just shred it all, lets just start over.

Narcissism, substance abuse, and financial problems are a toxic combination when such a person gains access to classified documents.

It’s a pattern of “what has already happened and is predictably going to happen”

And that’s why NISPOM is critically important.

It really doesn’t work like that. They’re using the illusion of authority and social engineering to gain access. But, absence legal authority which Trump can’t give, as he cannot waive either FISMA or NISPOM - he’s committing high crimes as a result.
February 6, 2025 at 5:19 PM
Good point. The Classified Information Procedures Act (CIPA) defines classified information, and materials are a subset of that definition pertaining to things that can be analyzed. Classified Material has been defined in previous presidential executive orders and in the NISPOM.
March 25, 2025 at 5:14 PM
Just Musk and those DOGE twits walking into Treasury without having a security clearance approved after a background check by the Dept of Justice is a federal crime.

Seems likely there's some conspiracy to defraud the United States going on here, based off of likely false attestations that they're complying with NISPOM contractual requirements. Hard to imagine how they couldn't be unless public reporting is completely fabricated.
December 18, 2024 at 1:39 AM
Perhaps the point Whatever-his-name-is-this-week missed is the boy isn’t qualified for his job.

That very history of racism is grounds to deny a security clearance.

That’s NISPOM, chucklefuck. You Dementia, Incontinence, and Egotism hires should learn about law stuff.
