NSA, the secret AT&T spy room, 2 Israeli companies, and the loss of American rights and privacy

- By Jon Rappoport - June 9, 2013

NSA, the secret AT&T spy room, 2 Israeli companies, and the loss of American rights and privacyBoom. Explosive revelations. The NSA is using telecom giants to spy on anybody and everybody, in a program called PRISM.

But the information is not new.

Three books have been written about the super-secret NSA, and James Bamford has written them all .

In 2008, Amy Goodman of Democracy Now interviewed Bamford as his latest book, The Shadow Factory, was being released.

Bamford explained that, in the 1990s, everything changed for NSA. Previously, they'd been able to intercept electronic communications by using big dishes to capture what was coming down to Earth from telecom satellites.

But with the shift to fiber-optic cables, NSA was shut out. So they devised new methods.

For example, they set up a secret spy room at an AT&T office in San Francisco. NSA installed new equipment that enabled them to tap into the fiber-optic cables and suck up all traffic.

How Bamford describes this, in 2008, tells you exactly where the PRISM program came from:

"NSA began making these agreements with AT&T and other companies, and that in order to get access to the actual cables, they had to build these secret rooms in these buildings.

"So what would happen would be the communications on the cables would come into the building, and then the cable would go to this thing called a splitter box, which was a box that had something that was similar to a prism, a glass prism.

"And the prism was shaped like a prism, and the light signals would come in, and they'd be split by the prism. And one copy of the light signal would go off to where it was supposed to be going in the telecom system, and the other half, this new cloned copy of the cables, would actually go one floor below to NSA's secret room.

"... And in the secret room was equipment by a private company called Narus, the very small company hardly anybody has ever heard of that created the hardware and the software to analyze these cables and then pick out the targets NSA is looking for and then forward the targeted communications onto NSA headquarters."

In James Bamford's 2008 interview, he mentions two Israeli companies, Narus and Verint, that almost nobody knew about. They played a key role in developing and selling the technology that allowed NSA to deploy its PRISM spying program:

Bamford: "Yeah. There's two major - or not major, they're small companies, but they service the two major telecom companies. This company, Narus, which was founded in Israel and has large Israel connections, does the - basically the tapping of the communications on AT&T. And Verizon chose another company, ironically also founded in Israel and largely controlled by and developed by people in Israel called Verint.

"So these two companies specialize in what's known as mass surveillance. Their literature - I read this literature from Verint, for example - is supposed to only go to intelligence agencies and so forth, and it says, 'We specialize in mass surveillance,' and that's what they do.

"They put [this] mass surveillance equipment in these facilities. So you have AT&T, for example, that, you know, considers it's their job to get messages from one person to another, not tapping into messages, and you get the NSA that says, we want, you know, copies of all this. So that's where these [two Israeli] companies come in. These companies act as the intermediary basically between the telecom companies and the NSA."

AMY GOODMAN: "Now, Jim Bamford, take this a step further, because you say the founder and former CEO of one of these companies [Verint] is now a fugitive from the United States somewhere in Africa?"

JAMES BAMFORD: "...the company that Verizon uses, Verint, the founder of the company, the former head of the company, is now a fugitive in - hiding out in Africa in the country of Namibia, because he's wanted on a number of felony warrants for fraud and other charges. And then, two other top executives of the company, the general counsel and another top official of the parent company, have also pled guilty to these charges.

"So, you know, you've got companies - these [two] companies have foreign connections with potential ties to foreign intelligence agencies, and you have problems of credibility, problems of honesty and all that. And these companies - through these two companies pass probably 80 percent or more of all US communications at one point or another.

Those who sacrifice and give up essential liberties to obtain a little temporary safety and security, deserve neither, liberty, nor safety and security - Benjamin Franklin

"And it's even - gets even worse in the fact that these companies also supply their equipment all around the world to other countries, to countries that don't have a lot of respect for individual rights -- Vietnam, China, Libya, other countries like that. And so, these countries use this equipment to filter out dissident communications and people trying to protest the government. It gives them the ability to eavesdrop on communications and monitor dissident email communications. And as a result of that, people are put in jail, and so forth..."

AMY GOODMAN: "And despite all of this...these telecom companies still have access to the most private communications of people all over America and actually, it ends up, around the world. And at the beginning of the summer [2008], the Democrats and Republicans joined together in granting retroactive immunity to these companies for spying on American citizens."

The fugitive CEO of Verint, whom Bamford mentions, is Jacob "Kobi" Alexander. In 2006, the US Dept. of Justice charged him with conspiring to commit securities and wire and mail fraud. The SEC weighed in and filed similar civil charges.

Alexander fled to Namibia, where he finally settled with the SEC for $46 million. The DOJ criminal complaint, as far as I can tell, still stands. Alexander continues to fight against extradition to the US.

He is no longer the CEO of Verint.

It's obvious that these two Israeli companies, Narus and Verint, working for NSA, have been able to divert duplicate mega-tons of data to Israeli intelligence.

The recent media stories on this NSA PRISM spying system indicate that NSA is tapping into the servers of huge tech companies; Google, AOL, Microsoft, Skype, Apple, Yahoo. The methods of data theft may have expanded, but the result and intent remain the same.

The government-corporate juggernaut moves ahead. Their rationale---catching terrorists---is, in great part, a cover story to obscure the fact that the State wants control over the lives of all citizens, as it ratchets up the very conditions that provoke rebellion.

It's a classic pincer movement.

As far as the current NSA PRISM spying is concerned, look for limited hangouts. These are partial admissions and excuses, offered to conceal greater crimes and stop investigations.

The giant tech companies already have their limited hangout in place: "We didn't know it was happening, we would never have allowed it to happen, and we'll be much more careful in the future."

Obama is saying: Yes, let's have dialogue on this matter...there's a fine line between national security needs and overweening intrusion into citizens' privacy.

The NSA is saying: We do spy, but we don't read content of emails and phone calls. We just keep 'records' of the communications.

The lies lying liars tell. The NSA has multiple and redundant methods of spying. If they have to cut back, for a while, on directly accessing the servers of the giant tech firms, they can do it without losing a step.

After all, as James Bamford revealed five years ago, NSA cuts directly into fiber-optic cables and splits the data into two copies, one of which it keeps for itself. They can access Google and Yahoo in other ways.

Most easily, they can say to these willing tech partners, "Give us all your data." And it will be done.

Firms like Google are already spying on their customers, putting together extensive profiles to craft better targeted ads. Google knows spying. Doing it for commercial purposes, or for "national security" purposes? They don't make those distinctions.

If You Had Edward Snowden's Proof — What Would You Do?

Published on Jun 14, 2013

Is Edward Snowden a hero or a criminal? A leader or a traitor?  In this video blog, we explore key questions about government surveillance, terrorism, individual rights, and personal morality.



Edward Snowden, This 29 year-old analyst just gave up his whole life -- his girlfriend, his job, and his home -- to blow the whistle on the US government's shocking PRISM program -- which has been reading and recording our emails, Skype messages, Facebook posts and phone calls for years.

When Bradley Manning passed this kind of data to Wikileaks, the US threw him naked into solitary confinement in conditions that the UN called "cruel, inhumane and degrading".

The authorities and press are deciding right now how to handle this scandal. If millions of us stand with Edward in the next 48 hours, it will send a powerful statement that he should be treated like the brave whistle blower that he is, and it should be PRISM, and not Edward, that the US cracks down on.

We call on you to ensure that whistle blower Edward Snowden is treated fairly, humanely and given due process. The PRISM program is one of the greatest violations of privacy ever committed by a government. We demand that you terminate it immediately, and that Edward Snowden be recognized as a whistle blower acting in the public interest -- not as a dangerous criminal.

Extensive List of Prostitute Politicians Paid Off By Monsanto

- By Anthony Gucciardi - May 29, 2013

Democrat, Republican, it doesn’t matter. As long as you can help Monsanto slide its icy tentacles into the food chain, then there’s some financial tip available to you. Thankfully, many such ties can be exposed through some data digging, and thanks to diligent readers who send comprehensive news tips and other researchers out there, we now have an extensive list of politicians getting paid cold hard cash from GMO juggernaut Monsanto.

Keep in mind these are the figures we know, which means that behind the scenes expect these numbers to multiply extensively. But what is most amazing is that these politicians just don’t care that you know they’re receiving thousands of dollars from Monsanto! They sweep it under the carpet, but they are openly taking money from this corporation that has been caught running ‘slave-like’ rings and disregarding public health. We’re talking about a corporation that primarily aided in the creation of Agent Orange — the Vietnam-era chemical weapon that killed over 400,000 people and led to 500,000 plus birth defects.

Looking at these figures, over $260,000 was openly pumped into the House, and $122,000 was pumped into the Senate. And again, this is openly. I am speculating, but I would imagine the real number to easily be in the millions. Can you imagine how much they must pay these politicians to shoot down GMO labeling bills that 90 plus percent of the entire country wants?

Or how about the nice chunk of cash that Monsanto paid Senator Roy Blunt to ‘help write’ the Monsanto Protection Act that grants Monsanto immunity from federal courts? Roy’s cash payment is not included in this list, however RT reports he received $64,250 towards his campaign from the company. Surely they expected nothing in return.

Part 2

هیچ نیروئی به اندازه آخوند‌هایی‌ مانند آیت الله بروجردی (مرجع تقلید شاه و کودتاگران)، آیت الله کاشانی و حجت السلام فلسفی‌ در سقوط دولت دکتر مصدق مؤثر نبودند. تمام اسناد نشان میدهد که آمریکا و انگلیس زمانی‌ به این نتیجه رسیدند که میتوانند دکتر مصدق را شکست بدهند، که آیت الله کاشانی، آیت الله بروجردی و روحانیت به دکتر مصدق پشت کردند. آخوندها فکر میکردند که خواستهای آنها را دکتر مصدق برآورده نمیکند. آیت‌الله کاشانی از مصدق می‌خواست که بهاییان را از تمام اداره های دولتی بیرون کند، او از مصدق می‌خواست حجاب را اجباری کند، اما دکتر مصدق ایستاد و گفت نه. آیت الله کاشانی می‌خواست در تعیین وزرای کابینه حق " وتو " داشته باشد، دکتر مصدق گفت نه. و آنها به او پشت کردند و پشتیبان کودتا شدند. شاه پس از کودتا چندین بار به دیدار آیت الله بروجردی میرفت و با او مشاوره میکرد. شاه قولهایی که به آیت الله بروجردی برای انجام کودتا داده بود، در سالهای پس از کودتا به قولهایش وفا کرد و بهمین جهت دستور داد که مرکز بهاییان را با حضور ارتش (سرلشگر باتمانقلیچ) و حجت السلام فلسفی (نمایندۀ آیت الله بروجردی) خراب کنند که آن رویداد ننگین از رادیو همراه با سخنرانی حجت السلام فلسفی پخش شد

شوربختانه سران خائن کنونی جبهه ملی، نهضت آزادی، ابوالحسن بنی صدر، محمد امینی، همایون کاتوزیان، مسعود بهنود و کسانی از این دست که در برون مرز بکار تهیۀ فیلم و گزارش و مستند و نوشتن مقاله و پژوهش مشغولند همواره نقش خانمانسوز آیت الله بروجردی که کاملا سرنوشت کودتا را عوض کرد. ولی اینان یا هیچ اشاره به آیت الله بروجردی نمیکنند و یا بطور سرسری از آن میگذرند در حالیکه کودتای آمریکاییان در ۲۵ امرداد شکست خورده بود ولی بازاریان و اوباش و چاقوکشان در تکیه های مذهبی و لاتهای سبزه میدان با فتوای آیت الله بروجردی در صبح روز ۲۸ امرداد با نقشۀ قبلی با گارد سلطنتی شاه، مرحلۀ دوم کودتا را براه انداختند و کودتا را تا پایان آن (ویران کردن خانۀ مصدق و چپاول وسائل منزل او توسط طیب و مافیای مساجد و همینطور اشغال رادیو توسط تانکها) رهبری و همراهی کردند. نقش اصلی در رویداد ننگین را شخص آیت الله بروجردی و دیگر روحانیون زیر دست او بر عهده داشتند آخوند نواب صفوی، آیت الله بهبانی، آیت الله کاشانی، حجت السلام فلسفی و دیگران ... همینطور خمینی که در زمان آخوند گمنامی بود و از طرف آیت الله بروجردی با شاه هم دیدار کرده بود

World Bank Insider Blows the Whistle on Corruption, within World Bank and the Federal Reserve

- By Alex Newman - May 24, 2013

World Bank Insider Blows the Whistle On Corruption, within World Bank and the Federal ReserveA former insider at the World Bank, ex-Senior Counsel Karen Hudes, says the global financial system is dominated by a small group of corrupt, power-hungry figures centered around the privately owned U.S. Federal Reserve. The network has seized control of the media to cover up its crimes, too, she explained. In an interview with The New American, Hudes said that when she tried to blow the whistle on multiple problems at the World Bank, she was fired for her efforts. Now, along with a network of fellow whistle blowers, Hudes is determined to expose and end the corruption. And she is confident of success. 

Citing an explosive 2011 Swiss study published in the PLOS ONE journal on the “network of global corporate control,” Hudes pointed out that a small group of entities — mostly financial institutions and especially central banks — exert a massive amount of influence over the international economy from behind the scenes. “What is really going on is that the world’s resources are being dominated by this group,” she explained, adding that the “corrupt power grabbers” have managed to dominate the media as well. “They’re being allowed to do it.”

According to the peer-reviewed paper, which presented the first global investigation of ownership architecture in the international economy, transnational corporations form a “giant bow-tie structure.” A large portion of control, meanwhile, “flows to a small tightly-knit core of financial institutions.” The researchers described the core as an “economic ‘super-entity’” that raises important issues for policymakers and researchers. Of course, the implications are enormous for citizens as well.

Hudes, an attorney who spent some two decades working in the World Bank’s legal department, has observed the machinations of the network up close. “I realized we were now dealing with something known as state capture, which is where the institutions of government are co-opted by the group that’s corrupt,” she told The New American in a phone interview. “The pillars of the U.S. government — some of them — are dysfunctional because of state capture; this is a big story, this is a big cover up.”

At the heart of the network, Hudes said, are 147 financial institutions and central banks — especially the Federal Reserve, which was created by Congress but is owned by essentially a cartel of private banks. “This is a story about how the international financial system was secretly gamed, mostly by central banks — they’re the ones we are talking about,” she explained. “The central bankers have been gaming the system. I would say that this is a power grab.”

The Fed in particular is at the very center of the network and the coverup, Hudes continued, citing a policy and oversight body that includes top government and Fed officials. Central bankers have also been manipulating gold prices, she added, echoing widespread concerns that The New American has documented extensively. Indeed, even the inaccurate World Bank financial statements that Hudes has been trying to expose are linked to the U.S. central bank, she said. 

“The group that we’re talking about from the Zurich study — that’s the Federal Reserve; it has some other pieces to it, but that’s the Federal Reserve,” Hudes explained. “So the Federal Reserve secretly dominated the world economy using secret, interlocking corporate directorates, and terrorizing anybody who managed to figure out that they were having any kind of role, and putting people in very important positions so that they could get a free pass.”

The shadowy but immensely powerful Bank for International Settlements serves as “the club of these private central bankers,” Hudes continued. “Now, are people going to want interest on their country’s debts to continue to be paid to that group when they find out the secret tricks that that group has been doing? Don’t forget how they’ve enriched themselves extraordinarily and how they’ve taken taxpayer money for the bailout.”

As far as intervening in the gold price, Hudes said it was an effort by the powerful network and its central banks to “hold onto its paper currency” — a suspicion shared by many analysts and even senior government officials. The World Bank whistleblower also said that contrary to official claims, she did not believe there was any gold being held in Fort Knox. Even congressmen and foreign governments have tried to find out if the precious metals were still there, but they met with little success. Hudes, however, believes the scam will eventually come undone.

“This is like crooks trying to figure out where they can go hide. It’s a mafia,” she said. “These culprits that have grabbed all this economic power have succeeded in infiltrating both sides of the issue, so you will find people who are supposedly trying to fight corruption who are just there to spread disinformation and as a placeholder to trip up anybody who manages to get their act together.… Those thugs think that if they can keep the world ignorant, they can bleed it longer.”

Of course, the major corruption at the highest levels of government and business is not a new phenomenon. Georgetown University historian and Professor Carroll Quigley, who served as President Bill Clinton’s mentor, for example, wrote about the scheme in his 1966 book Tragedy And Hope: A History Of The World In Our Time. The heavyweight academic, who was allowed to review documents belonging to the top echelons of the global establishment, even explained how the corrupt system would work — remarkably similar to what Hudes describes.

"The powers of financial capitalism had a far-reaching aim, nothing less than to create a world system of financial control in private hands able to dominate the political system of each country and the economy of the world as a whole,” wrote Prof. Quigley, who agreed with the goals but not the secrecy. “This system was to be controlled in a feudalist fashion by the central banks of the world acting in concert by secret agreements arrived at in frequent private meetings and conferences. The apex of the system was to be the Bank for International Settlements in Basel, Switzerland, a private bank owned and controlled by the world's central banks which were themselves private corporations."

But it is not going to happen, Hudes said — at least not if she has something do to with it. While the media are dominated by the “power grabber” network, Hudes has been working with foreign governments, reporters, U.S. officials, state governments, and a broad coalition of fellow whistle blowers to blow the entire scam wide open. There has been quite a bit of interest, too, particularly among foreign governments and state officials in the United States.

Citing the wisdom of America’s Founding Fathers in creating a federal system of government with multiple layers of checks and balances, Hudes said she was confident that the network would eventually be exposed and subjected to the rule of law, stopping the secret corruption. If and when that happens — even if it may be disorderly — Hudes says precious metals will once again play a role in imposing discipline on the monetary system. The rule of law would also be restored, she said, and the public will demand a proper press to stay informed.

“We’re going to have a cleaned-up financial system, that’s where it is going, but in the meantime, people who didn’t know how the system was gamed are going to find out,” she said. “We’re going to have a different kind of international financial system.... It’ll be a new kind of world where people know what’s going on — no more backroom deals; that’s not going to keep happening. We’re going to have a different kind of media if people don’t want to be dominated and controlled, which I don’t think they do.”

While Hudes sounded upbeat, she recognizes that the world is facing serious danger right now — there are even plans in place to impose martial law in the United States, she said. The next steps will be critical for humanity. As such, Hudes argues, it is crucial that the people of the world find out about the lawlessness, corruption, and thievery that are going on at the highest levels — and put a stop to it once and for all. The consequences of inaction would be disastrous.
