APPROVED FOR RELEASED
DATE: 12-May-2010
Under the Freedom of Information Act, 5 U.S.C. Subsection 552, I are requesting information or records as described
herein. This Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request is for a collection of documents iterating the entirety of
actions taken on / upon / to l toward / onto / unto citizens of the United States in the time range of the year 2000 to
present.
A document is meant to include: paper with text, a computerized record or file, any artifact containing information,
any object upon which information was added, or the information itself independent of medium or mechanism.
A search is utilized herein as a process by which the mathematical set of documents is refined to a subset, with this
FOIA request describing a document search.
An action is intended to mean any action in any sense of the word, the sum meaning from all commonly accepted
dictionaries of United States English, however including lack of action, and/or including awareness of such a defined
action by another actor or actors, domestic or foreign, without initiated and/or successful counteraction, with this lack
of counteraction or successful counteraction a sub-definition of action as the term is utilized in this FOFA request. For
example, should it be the case that a multinational surveillance cadre exists, bypassing traditional norms and laws,
then the inaction of not preventing foreign actors from acting thusly upon United States citizens, in such a
hypothetical, would be included as actions of the Central Intelligence Agency, herein defined, in the subcomponent of
lack of action and documents relating to action in the senses including, but not limited to, those described in this third
paragraph are intended to be included in this FOIA request.
Summarily, action is defined herein as action in all senses of the word and/or lack of action, with allowed to occur a
potentially subjective interpretation on a document-by-document basis upon results relating to the lack of action
subcomponent of action as described in paragraph three, with this intended to relate to all actors domestic and foreign.
This is a technical and precise definition towards a commonsense understanding of the term action as to avoid any
possible linguistic miscommunication.
The specific search is for actions where the target or subject or, grammatically, direct object of the action was a citizen
of the United States or a group including citizens of the United States, or can thusly be summarized and/or
paraphrased by a native speaker of the Midwestern dialect of or broadcast standard of United Stated English.
 Specific terminological instantiations such as "domestic intelligence", "domestic counterintelligence", "domestic
psychological operations", "domestic maneuvers", "domestic exercises", "domestic program", "domestic
surveillance" and "stateside actions", "stateside operations", "stateside maneuvers", "stateside exercises", "stateside
program", "stateside surveillance" and "civilian targets", "civilian subjects", "civilian surveillance" are illustrative
potential expansions upon the pattern described thus far and may or may not exist as actual terminology, however the
pattern intended to be conveyed includes, but may not be limited to, "domestic...", "stateside...", "civilian...".
In the contingency that a portion of documents described herein exist are classified, please include, as an auxiliary to
this request, a request for the total number or cardinality of the result set herein described, or, if more convenient, the
number of such actions, with this a connected but concurrent FOIA request. An additional request to this FOIA
request, is that in the event that a portion of documents that so exist that are classified, and in the event that the
documents have a form of primary key, in the sense of computer science, presuming some form of a database exists,
storing documents utilizing computing devices, if the entire list of these primary keys or otherwise utilized taxonomic
identification per document can be released or otherwise if the entirety of the result set can be bestowed a taxonomic
identifier per the collection, document collection #123456784, for example, with this allowing for rapidity in
communication regarding the data set matching this search pattern's intent, avoiding recapitulation of the phrasing of
this invocation to refine the set of total documents to the described subset.
As it is of use in matching documents to the search detailed in this FOIA request, the intended utilization of the
resulting document collection is to exercise civic responsibility and to become well-informed regarding that, amidst
what sonic Wright call a suspension of traditional constitutional understanding, occurrences exist that support
argumentation for restoration of the traditional constitutional understanding.
I thank you for reviewing this FOI A request which includes a precise search pattern over a large number of documents
within the timespan of the year 2000 to the present.
If there are any fees for searching for, reviewing, or copying the records, please let me know before you task my
request. If you deny all or any part of this request, please cite each specific exemption you think justifies your refusal
to release the information and notify me of appeal procedures available under the law.
