WORLD BANK whistleblower ATTACKED by JUSTICE department - Global Currency Reset: Jigsaw Puzzle
"Global Currency Reset: Jigsaw Puzzle" Senior Counsel for the World Bank legal department reports corruption to US Congress, the World Bank's other member countries, and the public.
Karen Hudes studied law at Yale Law School and economics at the University of Amsterdam. She worked in the US Export Import Bank of the US from 1980-1985 and in the Legal Department of the World Bank from 1986-2007. She established the Non Governmental Organization Committee of the International Law Section of the American Bar Association and the Committee on Multilateralism and the Accountability of International Organizations of the American Branch of the International Law Association. What did Karen Hudes blow the whistle on? In 2007 Karen warned the US Treasury Department and US Congress that the US would lose its right to appoint the President of the World Bank if the current American President of the World Bank did not play by the rules. https://kahudes.net/about-us/
Why You Should Care About War on Whistleblowers
By the time President Barack Obama left office, his Justice Department had indicted eight journalistic sources under the Espionage Act, more than all U.S. presidents before him combined. Among these cases was U.S. Army whistleblower Chelsea Manning, former CIA officer Jeffrey Sterling, National Security Agency whistleblower Thomas Drake, and NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden. In some of these cases, people were sentenced to lengthy prison terms. In others, the government ruined the lives of the targets.
Then Donald Trump took power and immediately began using the playbook refined and sharpened by his predecessor, President Obama. Donald Trump is now surpassing Obama’s eight-year record in just over two years in office.
We are at an extremely dangerous moment in the history of this country. Donald Trump is using the same rhetoric used by Nazi officials in the 1930s and '40s to attack the press. He has said he wants to jail journalists who publish stories he doesn’t like. And he is wielding the Espionage Act like a chainsaw against journalistic sources.
What makes it all so much worse is that it was the constitutional law scholar and Trump predecessor, Barack Obama, who teed Trump up, who laid the groundwork, who blazed the trail for this extremely deranged and dangerous man currently occupying 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.
But look at the way these stories are covered in the broader media. With a few notable exceptions, the lack of solidarity or just basic understanding of how dangerous these cases are is just largely absent. Instead, there are attacks on the news organizations or reporters. For all of the talk of how dangerous Trump is to a free press, why hasn’t the Reality Winner case been covered more extensively? Why is a CNN reporter losing credentials a national scandal and threatening alleged whistleblowers with 50 years in prison is a nonstory?
This is about criminalizing journalism. It is about increasing the secrecy and decreasing the transparency. It is an assault on the very idea of a democratic society. At these moments, silence is complicity.
This is a precedent-setting moment, not just legally, but morally. Because this is not the end. This is the beginning, and they will eventually come for other news organizations. Or they will scare news organizations from doing high stakes national security reporting.
It doesn’t matter what you think of any of these individual whistleblowers. But it does matter that we all recognize that this is an attack on our basic rights to information about what the U.S. government does in our names and with our tax dollars. It matters that people who blow the whistle on crimes and war crimes be defended and not abandoned or portrayed as violent criminals or traitors. All of us must ask ourselves where we stand. History will remember our answers.
NSA, the secret AT&T spy room, 2 Israeli companies, and the loss of American rights and privacy
- By Jon Rappoport - June 9, 2013
Boom. 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.
"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
