In this issue: RIP Warner Mendenhall, national Archivist nomination hearing, Pastrana lawsuit back in court, online privacy and anti-censorship bills seek support, no reinstatement news, media radar
"The short story is that the Archivist manages all federal records, and we need someone with the technical expertise to put our digital record management house in order."
Wait a second .... They need someone to tell them to do the procedure of archiving records?
I don't believe it. It's like saying the CEO of a company is the one that makes sure the things get made. Fairy tales.
The Obama administration's 2014 amendments to the Federal Records Act changed the definition of a Federal record to "all recorded information". This put NARA in charge of the government's entire corpus of digital information - the single most valuable resource in history. Given that, it became critical that NARA leadership has a minimum of IT experience. This is particularly true as the government uses agency information to build LLMs to feed into AI systems.
Also, I should point out that 'archivists' and 'records managers' are two entirely different professions with separate missions. Both professions should never have been regulated to the same agency.
Check out the article by Don Lueders that I linked to in Firsthand Report #4. I find it very plausible that there is a system in place that employees simply aren't using because it's inconvenient, or that there is a system that is supposed to be in place but isn't fully implemented. The main point is that in an era of digital record keeping, we should have someone in charge who has expertise in digital record management.
I don't trust any politicians since Kennedy disappointed me.
He could easily stop the emergency that his predecessor extended which enables the PREP act EUA COVID shots which are still being given, but won't.
Now we got Tulsi pushing the lab leak story which not only hypes up the fear of plandemics, it pins the blame on Fauci as if he's the sole person that corrupted things.
The truth is that they could have easily run those labs as black ops and doing it in the open was on purpose so they can pin the blame on the leadership.
PoliTICS 😂
At least the more absurd things get, the more people wake up and see how both the DemoCRIPS and RepubliBLOODS serve the same master$.
Politicians necessarily live in the world of political compromises and public relations. I see the Archivist as more of a bureaucrat/administrator, and a lot of the time, that's who is really moving the needle. That's why I cover all the boring bureaucratic stuff. : )
