Operation
TIPS Website Deleted
|
>>> At some point prior to 20 November 2002, the federal government deleted the portion of the Citizen Corps Website dealing with the citizen-snitch program Operation TIPS. This was undoubtedly because the Homeland Security Act, which had passed the House at that point, specifically canned TIPS. Section 808 of the act, which became federal law, states: "Any and all activities of the Federal Government to implement the proposed component program of the Citizen Corps known as Operation TIPS (Terrorism Information and Prevention System) are hereby prohibited." (Of course, this doesn't prohibit a similar program with a different name from being created.) Below you'll find archived versions of the main Webpage for TIPS, as well as other Citizen Corps Webpages that used to refer to TIPS but no longer do. We've also stored copies of the two TIPS newsletters, which strangely remain on the site but are prime candidates for deletion. [For more on Operations TIPS, read these articles from the Washington Times and the Boston Globe.] [It's important to note that the main page for Operation TIPS saved below is the most recent version. It differs markedly from the original page. See more at The Memory Hole page "Website for Operation TIPS Quietly Changes"] |
