Signals collection
has a long secretive and enigmatic history. The very definition of
espionage implies spying, most closely associated with foreign sources.
Since the Echelon network, the unified function of data retrieval became a
given during the cold war. With the revelation of Prism, advances in
sophisticated electronic devices and software algorithms provide a major
leap. The article, Is PRISM the US version of Echelon?, sums up the evolution. "With this
kind of setup and ambition to capture and evaluate private conversations
(well, not so private now), makes Echelon that much more believable, and
that PRISM is a reflection of the infamous project, but focused solely on
the US."
"The ECHELON
system is fairly simple in design: position intercept stations all over the
world to capture all satellite, microwave, cellular and fiber-optic
communications traffic, and then process this information through the
massive computer capabilities of the NSA, including advanced voice
recognition and optical character recognition (OCR) programs, and look for
code words or phrases (known as the ECHELON Dictionary) that will prompt
the computers to flag the message for recording and transcribing for future
analysis. Intelligence analysts at each of the respective listening
stations maintain separate keyword lists for them to analyze any conversation
or document flagged by the system, which is then forwarded to the
respective intelligence agency headquarters that requested the
intercept."
This machinery of
electronic snooping has no instinctive restraint on the subject or content,
when the technocratic engineers are left to design the next level of the
"All Seeing Eye". The notion that the Prism program is shocking
certainly does not conform to the even increasing capacity of surveillance
society that has already discarded the presumption of privacy.
"At a 2009
conference on so-called cloud computing, an NSA official said the agency
was developing a new system by linking its various databases and using
Hadoop software to analyze them, according to comments reported by the
trade publication InformationWeek.
The system would
hold "essentially every kind of data there is," said Randy
Garrett, who was then director of technology for the NSA's integrated
intelligence program. "The object is to do things that were
essentially impossible before."
Nonetheless, the Director of National Intelligence issues fact sheet on
PRISM in response to leaks, wants you to accept that the
government is adhering to stature authority and protecting vital national
security interests. "While focusing on the letter of the law and the
government's good intentions, Clapper dodges any mention of how much
information (or what kind) is actually collected with the PRISM
program."
OK, only a blood
brother operative of the intelligence community will challenge the
proposition that the collection of electronic information is the main
function of their Skynet self-aware artificial intelligence system.
The true debate is whether the data collected is destined for use against
targeted American citizens, for nefarious purposes.
"For Ashkan
Soltani, an independent privacy researcher and technologist, this is
"a process for submitting [Section] 702 requests and getting responses
in a machine-readable form."
The 41-page PRISM
Powerpoint presentation "could be seen as a business development deck
indicating all the various providers that they currently have
'relationships with,'" he told Mashable.
The system is
"basically a data-ingestion API," he said.
Soltani speculated that
based on what we know now, PRISM is a "streamlined way" to submit
Section 702 orders to the companies for them to review the requests, and it
gives the NSA the ability to handle and process the response "in an
automated fashion," just like an app like TripIt, which automatically
parses information from your flight reservations."
"Main Core
contains personal and financial data of millions of U.S. citizens believed
to be threats to national security. The data, which comes from the NSA,
FBI, CIA, and other sources, is collected and stored without warrants or
court orders. The database's name derives from the fact that it contains
"copies of the 'main core' or essence of each item of intelligence
information on Americans produced by the FBI and the other agencies of the
U.S. intelligence community."
Looking through the
historic prism and behavioral pattern of the shadow government agencies,
the lack of dramatic public outrage seems to be the only consistent factor
out of the denial denizens that love to salute the flag, while
willingly forfeiting their bill of right protections. This regretful
conduct is seen in the example from, "Christopher Ketchum of Radar Magazine that
first reported on the existence of Main Core. At the time, the shocking
information that he revealed did not get that much attention. That is quite
a shame, because it should have sent shockwaves across the nation…"
Now we are all
supposed to empathize with the hysteria of the political careerist class
over the disclosures of Edward Snowden. The bipartisan spots of the
carnivore leopards never change. When John Boehner Calls Snowden a Traitor, he
speaks for much of the establishment and equates loyalty to the state as
the very definition of nationalism.
Again, the chronicle
of the military-industrial-intelligence-complex is replete with treasonous
deeds against the constitutional republic. Remember the Carnivore system implemented by the Federal
Bureau of Investigation that was designed to monitor email and electronic
communications? Maybe your memory goes back to the archetype whistleblower.
None other than the iconic Daniel Ellsberg speaks out on the current
scandal in the Guardian letter, Edward Snowden: saving us from the United Stasi of
America.
"In 1975,
Senator Frank Church spoke of the National Security Agency in these terms:
"I know the
capacity that is there to make tyranny total in America, and we must see to
it that this agency and all agencies that possess this technology operate
within the law and under proper supervision, so that we never cross over
that abyss. That is the abyss from which there is no return."
The dangerous
prospect of which he warned was that America's intelligence gathering
capability - which is today beyond any comparison with what existed in his
pre-digital era - "at any time could be turned around on the American
people and no American would have any privacy left."
That has now
happened. That is what Snowden has exposed, with official, secret
documents. The NSA, FBI and CIA have, with the new digital technology,
surveillance powers over our own citizens that the Stasi - the secret
police in the former "democratic republic" of East Germany -
could scarcely have dreamed of. Snowden reveals that the so-called
intelligence community has become the United Stasi of America."
Yes, Virginia our
great founding fathers came from not only this old dominion, but had a
state of mind that fought the revolutionary war against tyranny. The United
Stasi of America is the definitive meaning of the evil empire that protects
the globalist criminals that control the political apparatus, known as the
federal government.
The echelon network of
subversion and espying is but a rung on a ladder of a coercive
control. The prism of deception is the false reality your controllers use
to relinquish your will to oppose the repression. The secret intelligence
agencies only serve their own bureaucratic interests as they obey their
master operative superiors.
The disinformation
culture is the permanent realism and the snitch society is an essential
requirement necessary to keep the imperium in power. With the
Americanization of domestic terrorists, Tea Party activists and the
Patriotic Truth movement are in the sights of totalitarian gangsters.
Is there any doubt
that the NSA, FBI and CIA act as if they are above the law and
unaccountable? The great divide between legitimate authority and
clandestine oppression is narrow and fragile. The essential question is who
is the true enemy? As the surveillance technology perfects their reach and
assimilates the application of their data assets, the military option under
martial law intensifies. No one is safe. Big Brother has become the
impending Terminator.
The Stasi Skynet
engulfs everyone. There is no way out of the matrix as long as the
globalists operate their spy network. The system is designed to eliminate
any and all dissent. Overload the data collectors by intensifying the
practice of liberty at every opportunity.
