THE GLASS HOUSE THAT DICK BUILT

The GLass House

THE GLASS HOUSE THAT DICK BUILT

When you set out to present an indictment against someone, isn’t it always a good idea to remember what Confucius says about glass houses? Well, it looks as if Dick Cheney has forgotten about the old saying, or he just doesn’t care how much of hypocrite he is when he finds himself in the position to talk about Barack Obama.
Before we entangle ourselves in a debate over whether or not Obama is a bad guy and everything Cheney says is true, we can all agree that President Obama has continued many of the policies of the Bush administration – the drone wars and NSA spying, the continued negating of the constitution and the tightening of the grip this administration has on civil rights.
But of course all of this began under the watchful eye of Dick Cheney.
The Iraq War was the single biggest foreign policy disaster in history. Pulling out of Iraq obviously was big debacle as well and whoever is pulling the puppet strings on Obama is actually making a compelling argument for more incompetence in Washington.
Yet we have to unleash the hypocritical commentary form Dick Cheney, and everyone who believes in this stupid right wing left wing, “he said so there” attitude is what is wrong with the United States.
The United States doesn’t silence or jail their war criminals, we give them the spotlight on Fox news, or allow them to write op ed’s for the Wall street journal.
While ISIS continues to make its moves through the middle east, Dick Cheney decided that it was his time to make the rounds to tell everybody how he would handle that issue and all the while we forget about how we would have never ended up in this mess if it weren’t for the lies that Cheney created or his manifesto that he authored along with a few henchman in order to push for the expansion of the military industrial complex before the attacks on the United States on September 11th, 2001.
So, believing the truth is on his side, Cheney has launched a one-man jihad against the Obama Administration for negating what can be called life-protecting anti-terror strategies. The same push- me, pull-you rhetoric that generates the same bull excrement that keeps the country polarized.
If there was ever a tentacle in the Hydra that needs to be exposed it is Dick Cheney and how for years this man has had his hands stained more than once and how what he has been involve with for years has always been under the direction of the Cryptocracy.
I contend that Cheney is one of the Godfathers of the multi-tentacled octopus of Intelligence and continuity of Government has been in power at crucial moments before, and along with his henchman and Donald Rumsfeld, have been directly involved. This Intelligence Wall that he has constructed has been in place through 5 Presidents.
This is why there are still a few people in Washington that even care what Cheney thinks about the situation in Iraq. It is because many of the stories in history where governments have been destabilized always have some fond memory of how Dick Cheney has been praised for his ultra cruel behavior.
Cheney is like lion without a leash and his history speaks for itself as he has been a figure that moves throughout history as a man who seems to be above any law as his policies about Iraq were already laid out in a blue print that has been lost in the memory hole of the collective consciousness of the United states.
This blue print was written in 1992 when Dick Cheney was defense secretary.
The Project for the new American Century was a doctrine that was being produced and implemented little by little with the aid of a counter-part government. The strategic planning of it was done during the Clinton administration with funding from the military-industrial complex. Energy companies, and right-wing foundations.
This conspiracy was helmed by Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld and Paul Wolfowitz. Cheney has acted above the law for so long that he is one of the most dangerous men in America.
Many people do not realize that Dick Cheney has a history of being carefully placed behind the curtain as a well paid “clean up” guy who has been hired for the purpose of enforcing the Continuity of Government in times of national crisis. The idea of continuity of Government takeover has been rumored to be the agenda of the “shadow government,” or Cryptocracy a stealthy controlling group put into play without the public’s consent.
Rumors about a shadow government making the President a puppet has its roots in Cold War conspiracy theories. Theories that crept in during rational concerns about operating the country if nuclear war became imminent amid the “super powers.”
Today the shadow government is not a theory, but a reality. The biggest evidence of all is that Barack Obama has not dismantled the policies of the previous administration and he has made the decision not to investigate members of the previous administration who may have ordered torture and declared an illegal war on Iraq.
That is why the whole Cheney versus Obama good cop bad cop is such a sham and is nothing more than a divisive tool and a Psy-op to keep America divided until the next false flag operation can be carried out to totally destabilize the United States and allow the dialogue for martial law.
The idea of mass Psychological operations is nothing new and the idea that there seems to be a major operation happening now is truly compelling.
We are all fully aware that mind control operations and psychological warfare have always been part of the intelligence apparatus in the United States. The fact that the media is now opening dialogue with Cheney makes it all come together in some poetic train wreck.
Many of these psy-op programs had their beginnings during the cold war.
One particular program was called Operation Artichoke. A CIA torture program that seemed to operate outside of the law expanded under the direction of CIA Director, Allen Dulles. In this program, the CIA conducted experiments that included the use of torture and attempted brainwashing techniques in order to see how much information could be extracted from individuals.
The majority of the information on these programs was destroyed in 1972 shortly before deeper public investigations into the program which began in 1976. However; a few records still remain and have been made public via the Freedom of Information Act.
A shocking, well known death resulting from these programs is the death of military biochemist Frank Olson. Frank Olson died in November 1953, after having jumped out of a 13th story window, a week after having been given a dose of LSD without his knowledge by members of the CIA.
The official version of the story given in 1973, is that Dr. Olson suffered a mental breakdown over the event, but no reason was ever given as to why he had ever been drugged in the first place. Investigations continued well into the 1970’s as to the events leading up to Olson’s death. It wasn’t until 1975 that Gerald Ford offered an apology to the family.
Both Donald Rumsfeld and Dick Cheney were members of the White House Chiefs of Staff in the Ford administration.
After the public revelations about Frank Olson’s supposedly drug induced suicide, his family began perusing a lawsuit for damages. After the family announced that they would sue for damages and more information, the CIA met with the family and gave them some files about their father’s death, mostly just related to autopsy information. These files didn’t tell the family why their father was ever drugged in the first place.
The Olson family was then advised that their lawsuit would not succeed and instead the Ford administration gave them $750,000 to drop the suit. Cheney and Rumsfeld told the family that perusing information about torture and mind control would be a threat to National Security. Donald Rumsfeld and Dick Cheney have been involved in covering up state secrets related to torture and illegal conduct for decades, giving the excuse that this misconduct is in the interest of “security” and “intelligence.”
Rumsfeld and Cheney have remained in positions with the government as “detail” men. Men that gather intelligence on illegal activities within the government and illegal activities going on in foreign governments.
With this information they are able to ascertain what they perceive as threats and report them to secret official’s within government. These secret officials are called to govern in the case of a crisis real or perceived. There is the government that rules America during peace-time, and a counter government that rules during war or crisis.
If there is a way to pull off an illegal act, these two men know how to cover their tracks and obfuscate any investigation.
Now, conspiracy theory and the facts that prove a theory to be fact have over the years secured the position of Dick Cheney as someone who is very important behind the scenes. He is the intelligence man and has been moving about the government unquestioned.
There are always a handful of men within the government that act as agents in charge behind the scenes and would act apart from the consent of the people, the constitution or even the President if there was a national crisis.
This has been considered a criminal element run amok behind the scenes. This criminal element hides behind political parties and so with all of their endorsed and praised actions from the ill informed they go unnoticed and unfortunately become elder statesmen.
Back when Ronald Reagan was shot, there was a conflict within the administration regarding who was in charge. To help resolve this conflict, a secret plan known as the Presidential Successor Support System was devised. This advocated the use of a “shadow government” that would be beyond the Constitution, and would rule the country.
The Reagan Administration also created the National Program Office or NPO.
This was an office of the United States Government established to ensure continuity of government in the event of a national disaster. The NPO was established by a secret executive order signed by President Ronald Reagan during the Cold War in preparation for a nuclear war, presumably with the Soviet Union. In addition to supplanting the executive branch, the NPO has the power to dissolve Congress.
During that time of the Reagan Administration, the agents in charge of the Continuity of Government were Vice President, George H. W. Bush, Lt. Col. Oliver North, Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld, and James Woolsey just to name a few.
In 1998, Cheney and his Project for a New American Century Mob, made public their plans to President Bill Clinton, calling for the removal of Saddam Hussein from power. Signed by 18 people, including Paul Wolfowitz, Richard Armitage, Richard Perle and Don Rumsfeld, this letter had to have been very powerful. Being that under pressure, President Clinton signed a bill in late-1998 authorizing up to $97 million to Iraqi opposition forces “to remove the regime headed by Saddam Hussein” and “promote the emergence of a democratic government.”
The only problem was trying to get the American people to see that a war had to be fought. The American people needed to be convinced that military budgets needed to be increased and that pre-emptive measures needed to be taken in order to eliminate any rivals to American dominance.
Dick Cheney along with the co-authors of The project for the New American Century addressed in their very proposal– that the idea of creating this type of change would be a long and hard task. Unless of course there is some catalyzing event like a New Pearl Harbor to get the American people to unite in this plan.
To quote from this blueprint we read:
“While the unresolved conflict with Iraq provides the immediate justification, the need for a substantial American force presence in the Gulf transcends the issue of the regime of Saddam Hussein …”the process of [military] transformation, even if it brings revolutionary change, is likely to be a long one, absent some catastrophic and catalyzing event – like a new Pearl Harbor
—- Rebuilding America’s Defenses, September 2000, Project for a New American Century.
Furthermore we read:
“Perhaps advanced forms of biological warfare that can “target” specific genotypes may transform biological warfare from the realm of terror to a politically useful tool.“
— Rebuilding America’s Defenses, September 2000, Project for a New American Century.
Remember this type of extremism had been planned since the 1990’s and was put into writing and published a year before the September 11th attacks. This in my opinion is suspect. These men had placed their very intentions in a published plan of implementation. Using Active Intelligence measures and its value of evidence– This is one hell of a coincidence if not full disclosure of a crime that they were about to commit.
The new Pearl Harbor was the September 11th, attacks and afterwards there was the biological attack on Washington as “white powder” containing anthrax was sent to various Democratic and left wing journalists and politicians.
The pages of PNAC can only be compared to Hitler’s Mein Kampf where the hidden agenda amongst the various plotting of biological attacks and “ new pearl harbors” was most certainly to launch a brand of messianic internationalism to the United States in order to solidify their resolve.
Now the agenda is condoned and promoted by a messianic leader that is now a tool for the empire’s encroachment. While Cheney’s Pax Americana has failed, Obama’s commitment to the newly formed world empire is evident. We all knew that the movements in Iraq would have to insure an American garrison that was in the plan put forth in PNAC. Obama’s biggest problem is that he has destroyed the glass house that Cheney built.
Obama has been successful in creating New world leadership conferences that literally control fresh young minds into espousing leadership philosophies that use issue briefs, advocacy journalism and seminars that literally brainwash people into believing in the idea of a universal American “right” to impose its will on Planet Earth.
This philosophy has easily been seared into the public will after the attacks of September 11th, 2001. This has left most people to say “how high?” when the government says “jump.”
John Dean served as White House Counsel for United States President Richard Nixon from July 1970 until April 1973. In his book “Broken Government” he refers to Dick Cheney as being the head of the Shadow Government.
“Cheney’s office came to be viewed as the administration’s neo cons sanctuary.” President Bush’s NSC staff referred to Cheney’s operation as “THE SHADOW GOVERNMENT,” because it was “informally integrated (with) its own agenda as well as the power to realize it through the Vice President’s clout. It is a secret government – beyond the reach of Congress, and everyone else as well.” –John Dean
Cheney has always insisted that he was and is still exempt from the presidential orders requiring government wide procedures to safeguard classified national security information. His logic being that when he served as Vice President, he was not an “entity within the executive branch.”
Obviously he is something more. More of an anomaly and mystery man that brings with him an air of criminality and sour opinions about how his dreams Pax Americana have been hijacked by the Obama administration.
Iraq would not be the violent place it is today if it weren’t for the lies and the paranoia that was first put into writing in the PNAC blueprint.
Back in 1994 Cheney was asked why we just don’t march into Bagdad and take over and he said it was because we would be alone and there would have to be a long term vision of occupation and there would be quagmire.
Isn’t it ironic that the man behind the intelligence was exactly right and that her we are in the middle of Cheney’s fulfilled prophecy.
This is why I believe it is time for Dick Cheney to keep his mouth shut.
It is not that I believe that Obama has not been incompetent in the situation with Iraq, it is just that Cheney is just creating more division by speaking against the President at this time.
It is also quite clear that after his tenure with five presidents he has put himself above the law, has created his own shadow government, lied his way into an illegal war in Iraq ,profited off that war, and like Obama has found a way to negate the Constitution.
Now I guess we can all decide just who is a war criminal and who is aiding and abetting the criminal element.

The Hidden Life of the Kennedys : The Elite Dynasty That Got Decimated (Pt. I)

Jun 20th, 2014 | http://vigilantcitizen.com/vigilantreport/kennedys-elite-dynasty-got-decimated-pt/



The Kennedys were considered, at one point, to be America’s Royal Family – a powerful dynasty that was also beloved and admired by the public. However, the mind-boggling “Kennedy Curse” struck the family to the core as numerous members lost their lives at a young age and in strange circumstances. This series of articles will expose lesser known facts regarding the Kennedys and explain how the family’s fate is related to the shadow government running America. 
leadkennedy2
The assassination of John F. Kennedy on November 22, 1963 will always remain one of the most tragic days in American history. It can be pinpointed as the day where the American public “lost its innocence” and got a glimpse of the dark and morbid shadow government working behind the scenes. In 2000, over 81% of Americans believed that JFK’s assassination was planned by more than just a lone gunman, making it one of the most widely accepted conspiracy theories in US history. However, as the years go by, countless theories and hypothesis about JFK’s assassination keep appearing in the form of “tell-all books” or “shocking documentaries”, contradicting previous theories and muddying the waters of truth instead of clarifying them. One can wonder if some of these “revelations” are actually attempts at disinformation in order to keep the truth from ever emerging.
But to understand the Kennedys and what lead them to power, one must go deeper than JFK’s presidency and his assassination. We must look at those who preceded him, especially his father, Joseph Patrick Kennedy Sr., who gained an incredible amount of wealth and became close with the most powerful families in the world. While these connections ultimately sent the family to the White House, the Kennedys did not remain in power for long. The same “hidden hand” that lead them to the top apparently sought to completely eradicate them. Was the curse actually a series of hits aiming at removing the Kennedys from power? Studying the story of the Kennedys is essentially studying at the inner-workings of the occult elite. We’ll first look at the origins of the Kennedy dynasty.

Joseph P. Kennedy Sr. : The Mogul That Started it All

Joseph Kennedy Sr. was a powerful figure in business and politics. He was also connected with the most prominent bloodlines in the world.
Joseph Kennedy Sr. was a powerful figure in business and in politics. He was also connected with the most prominent bloodlines in the world.
Joseph Patrick Kennedy Sr. was the man who orchestrated the family’s rise to power. He was a leading figure of the Democratic party and of the Irish Catholic community of America. He was also a successful businessman, as he made fortune by buying and merging together several Hollywood movie studios and importing and distributing alcoholic beverages in the United States after Prohibition. There were, however, persistent rumors claiming that Joe was working with organized crime and bootlegged alcohol during the prohibition. Shortly before his death, mob figure Frank Costello famously stated “I helped Joe Kennedy get rich.”
During his political career, Kennedy became a close advisor to President Franklin D. Roosevelt and was appointed as the inaugural chairman of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). In 1938, he was named Ambassador of the U.S. in the United Kingdom, a prestigious position, where he formed ties with British nobility and witnessed the early stages of  World War II.

Elite Ties

Born into a prominent political family of East Boston, Joseph Kennedy married Rose Elizabeth Fitzgerald in 1914 , the eldest daughter of Boston Mayor John Francis Fitzgerald. In a move that is often seen in elite bloodlines, the marriage joined together the city’s two most prominent political families. However, as Kennedy’s wealth and power grew, his influence reached way beyond the city of Boston and he formed ties with the power elite of the world.
Understanding Joe Kennedy’s ties and relations equals understanding the occult elite and the way it functions. He dealt with people that were part of “Illuminati bloodlines” (as defined by Fritz Springmeier) such as the Rothschilds, the Astors, and the Sassoons. He was close to newspaper mogul and high level Illuminatus William Randolph Hearst, who later helped launch JFK’s career.
During Kennedy Sr.’s political career, he advised FDR, who was a 33rd degree Freemason and the first Honorary Grand Master of the Order of DeMolay. FDR, who was also advised by notable occultists Manly P. Hall and Nicholas Roerich, ordered the placement of the Seal of the United States (the Illuminati symbol of the pyramid with all-seeing eye) on the dollar bill.
Joe Kennedy Sr. was also part of several elite orders, such as the Knights of Malta and the Pilgrim Society, a highly secretive group that held within its ranks members including the Rockefellers, the Vanderbilts, J.P. Morgan, British Royals, various heads of the Skull and Bones society, Freemasons, Knights Templar and Presidents of the Federal Reserve Bank, and executives from major companies and mass media. In fact, the Pilgrim Society is probably the most influential “elite group” in existence (see a list of members here).

As a result of his ambassadorship in Great Britain, Kennedy Sr. developed good relations with British royalty, where he was often received with great honors. In 1944, Joe Kennedy’s daughter Kathleen married William Cavendish, the Duke of Devonshire (a very prestigious position within British Nobility). The Duke of Devonshire was Grand Master of the United Grand Lodge of England, the governing body for the majority of Freemasons in England, Wales, the United States and the Commonwealth. After his daughter’s premature death, Joseph Kennedy stated:
“If Kathleen and her husband were living, I’d be the father of the Duchess of Devonshire (first Lady-in-Waiting to the Queen) and the father-in-law of the head of all the Masons in the World”.
- David E. Koskoff, Joseph P. Kennedy: A Life and Times
Joseph Kennedy was therefore extremely well connected with the occult elite and the Illuminati bloodlines of the United States and Great Britain. While he had held hopes of becoming a Presidential candidate, his window of opportunity closed when, facing the threat of Nazi invasion, he stated that “Democracy in Great Britain is finished”, adding that the “battle for Britain is not about democracy, that is all bunk”. Behind closed doors, Kennedy was also caught sympathizing with Hitler and the Nazi movement. He was also quoted professing various anti-Semitic statements in discussions with the Astors. Realizing that the outcry he caused would prohibit him from ever becoming President, Kennedy Sr. went behind the scenes and focused on “placing” his sons in positions of power. He had the wealth and, more importantly, the elite connection needed lead his plans to fruition.

High Expectations for the Children

While most family pictures of the Kennedys give the impression of one big, happy, all-American family, the truth is much less picture-perfect. The great number of biographies documenting the nine Kennedy children often account of “loveless” childhoods, great distance between family members and countless, devastating tragedies. Joseph Kennedy Sr. was often described as a strict father with gigantic expectations for his children. Unfortunately, his daughter Rosemary Kennedy did not live up to these expectations.

The Lobotomized Kennedy

Rose Marie “Rosemary” Kennedy, the third child of the family, was described as “mentally retarded, erratic and prone to mood swings”. Joe Kennedy was told by his doctors that a prefrontal lobotomy could “cure” her condition, which could otherwise be potentially embarrassing for the family. At age 23, Rosemary was forced to undergo the experimental procedure. Here’s an account of the procedure performed on Rosemary.
“We went through the top of the head, I think she was awake. She had a mild tranquilizer. I made a surgical incision in the brain through the skull. It was near the front. It was on both sides. We just made a small incision, no more than an inch.” The instrument Dr. Watts used looked like a butter knife. He swung it up and down to cut brain tissue. “We put an instrument inside,” he said. As Dr. Watts cut, Dr. Freeman put questions to Rosemary. For example, he asked her to recite the Lord’s Prayer or sing “God Bless America” or count backwards….. “We made an estimate on how far to cut based on how she responded.” ….. When she began to become incoherent, they stopped.
- Ronald Kessler, The Sins of the Father: Joseph P. Kennedy and the Dynasty He Founded
The procedure went horribly wrong. It left Rosemary Kennedy with the mental capacity of a  two year-old child. It prevented her from walking or speaking intelligibly and she was considered incontinent. She was placed in an institution where she was cared for until she died in 2005.
Joseph Kennedy never mentioned the lobotomy to the public and explained his daughter’s absence from family events as her being “reclusive”. He never visited Rosemary after the lobotomy and her name was “never mentioned” at the Kennedy house.

Aiming for the White House

Joe Kennedy Sr. knew he had the wealth, the influence and the connections to reach the White House, but after his “sympathetic” stand towards the Nazis killed his political career, he went behind the scenes and looked to orchestrate the political careers of his sons.
Kennedy Sr. originally placed his presidential hopes on Joseph Patrick Kennedy Jr., the eldest son of the family. However, Kennedy Jr. died at the young age of 29 in an airplane explosion during  World War II. His body was never recovered (four years later, his sister Kathleen – the wife of the Duke of Devonshire – would also lose her life in a plane crash at age 28).
After the tragic death, Joseph Sr. did not give up on the White House. He focused on the political career of his second son, John Fitzgerald Kennedy, who the entire world would eventually know as JFK.
Claiming that Joseph Kennedy Sr. was the mastermind behind JFK’s rise to the Presidency is far from an exaggeration.
“He played a central role in planning strategy, fundraising, and building coalitions and alliances. Kennedy supervised the spending and to some degree the overall campaign strategy, helped select advertising agencies, and was endlessly on the phone with local and state party leaders, newsmen, and business leaders. He had met thousands of powerful people in his career, and often called in his chips to help his sons.”
- Kesser, Op. Cit.
JFK also got the backing of elite bloodline families and the unconditional support of newspaper magnate William Randolph Hearst (and high level Illuminatus) who used his media empire to push JFK to power.
JFK was groomed from an early age to take high office for the Brotherhood and he was supported by all the classic names like the Rothschilds, Tafts, Russells, Rockefellers, and media barons like Henry Luce, the head of Time-Life, and Randolph Hearst, the most powerful newspaper tycoon in the United States. When Kennedy ran for political office, the Boston American newspaper, owned by Hearst, refused to accept the paid advertisements of his opponent.
- David Icke, The Biggest Secret
In 1961, JFK was elected as President of the United States by a very slim margin. Youthful, charismatic and photogenic, Kennedy was the perfect face to put on a Presidency supported by the occult elite. However, soon after taking office, JFK quickly understood that his position was something of a “glorified puppet”. While his 23 months in the White House are often associated with the Vietnam war and the civil rights movement, JFK took actions that were less publicized but that could nevertheless shake to the core two extremely powerful institutions in the United States: The Federal Reserve and the Central Intelligence Agency. More on this in the next part of the series.

Conclusion of Part I

While JFK is usually the face associated with the Kennedys, it was his father, Joseph Kennedy Sr,. who engineered the rise of the dynasty. His ties with elite bloodlines, business moguls, politicians, secret societies and elite groups made him a typical “good ol’ boy” of the occult elite. After losing two children in plane accidents and seeing a third becoming disabled for life, Joseph then orchestrated JFK’s election as President of the United States.
As we’ll see in the next article, JFK took stances that were unpopular amongst those who placed him in power. He was also a Catholic, a characteristic that made him and his family into eternal “outsiders” of the “Anglo-saxon” branch of the occult elite. One thing is certain: Powerful people placed JFK to power and, after a while, they wanted JFK, his family and his descendants removed from power. Forever.
Stay tuned for the next part of this series of articles on the Kennedys. Part II will look at the hidden side of JFK’s presidency and assassination.

Understanding UFO Secrecy

Summary: The evidence regarding this subject is clear and overwhelming: It has not been difficult to make a compelling case for the reality of UFOs per se. What is a greater challenge is elucidating the architecture of secrecy related to UFOs (see the exposition of this matter contained in the paper entitled "Unacknowledged" by this author). But the greatest challenge is explaining the ‘why'. Why all the secrecy? Why a ‘black' or unacknowledged government within the government? Why hide the UFO/ET subject from public view?

author's bio


Introduction

Over the past few years I have had the responsibility of briefing senior government and scientific leaders both in the US and abroad on the UFO/Extraterrestrial subject.

The evidence regarding this subject is clear and overwhelming: It has not been difficult to make a compelling case for the reality of UFOs per se. What is a greater challenge is elucidating the architecture of secrecy related to UFOs (see the exposition of this matter contained in the paper entitled "Unacknowledged" by this author). But the greatest challenge is explaining the ‘why'. Why all the secrecy? Why a ‘black' or unacknowledged government within the government? Why hide the UFO/ET subject from public view?

The ‘what' or evidence is complex but manageable. The ‘how' or nature of the secret programs is more difficult, much more complex and Byzantine. But the ‘why' - the reason behind the secrecy'- is the most challenging problem of all. There is not a single answer to this question, but rather numerous inter-related reasons for such extraordinary secrecy. Our investigations and interviews with dozens of top - secret witnesses who have been within such programs have enabled us to understand the reasons behind this secrecy. They range from the fairly obvious and straight-forward to the really bizarre. Here, I wish to share some key points regarding this secrecy, why it has been imposed and why it is so difficult for the controlling interests within covert programs to reverse policy and allow disclosure.


In The Beginning

In the early days of the ET/UFO phenomena, military, intelligence and industrial interests had concerns regarding the nature of the phenomena, whether it originated from our human adversaries and once it was determined to be extraterrestrial, how the public would react.

In the 1930s and 1940s this was no small matter: If these UFOs were of terrestrial origin, they would be evidence of an earthly adversary with technological devices far in advance of US aircraft. And once it was determined to be extraterrestrial (some quarters knew this prior to the end of WWII) there were many more questions than answers. To wit: why were the ET s here? What are their intentions? How do the devices travel at such fantastic speeds and through the vastness of space? How might these technologies be applied to the human situation -both in war and in peace? How would the public react to this knowledge? What effect would the disclosure of these facts have on human belief systems? Political and social systems?

From the late 1940s through the early 1950s, a concerted effort was made to figure out the basic science and technologies behind these spacecraft, primarily through the direct study and reverse-engineering of the retrieved extraterrestrial objects from New Mexico and elsewhere. It was immediately recognized that these objects were using laws of physics and applied technologies far in advance of internal combustion engines, vacuum tubes and the like. In the climate of the Cold War and in a world where a relatively minor advantage technologically could tilt the balance of power in the nuclear arms race, this was no small matter.

Indeed, the theme of human geo-political dysfunction appears as a recurring feature of the secrecy related to UFOs - up to the present hour. More on this later.

From the Wilbur Smith top secret Canadian government document of 1950, we know that this subject was held in greater secrecy than even the development of the hydrogen bomb. There was a tremendous effort underway by the late 1940s to study extraterrestrial hardware, figure out how it operated and see what human applications might be made from such discoveries. Even then, the project dealing with this subject was extraordinarily covert.

It became much more so by the early 1950s when substantial progress was made on some of the basic physics behind the ET craft energy and propulsion systems. The best we can estimate, it was then that the entire project became increasingly ‘black' or unacknowledged.

The compartmentalization of the project dealing with UFOs was exponentially increased by the early 1950s when it was realized what it was that these covert projects actually had: Devices displaying physics and energy systems which - if disclosed - would forever alter life on earth.

By the Eisenhower era, the UFO/ET projects were increasingly compartmented away from legal, constitutional chain-of-command oversight and control. This means that -while we know from witness testimony that Eisenhower knew of the ET craft - the president ( and similar leaders in the UK and elsewhere) were increasingly left out of the loop. Such senior elected and appointed leaders were confronted with (as Eisenhower called it) a sophisticated military-industrial complex with labyrinthine compartmented projects which were more and more out of their control and oversight. From direct witness testimony we know that Eisenhower, Kennedy, Carter and Clinton were frustrated by their attempts to penetrate such projects.

This is also true of senior congressional leaders and investigators, foreign leaders and UN leadership. This is indeed an equal opportunity exclusion project - it does not matter how high your rank or office, if you are not deemed necessary to the project, you are not going to know about it. Period.

Contrary to popular myth, since the 1960s concern over some type of public panic when faced with the fact that we are not alone in the universe has not been a major reason for the secrecy. Those in the know -notwithstanding the fantastic tales spun in UFO circles and on the X-Files -understand that fear of hostile ET s has also not been a significant factor. While there has been continued confusion in some covert circles over the ultimate purpose behind the ET phenomena, we know of no knowledgeable insiders who regard the ET s as a hostile threat.

By the 1960s - and certainly by the 1990s - the world was very familiar with the concept of space travel and the popular science - fiction industry had thoroughly indoctrinated the masses with the idea of ET s from far away being a possibility. So why the continued secrecy?

The Cold War is over. People would hardly be shocked to find out that we are not alone in the universe ( the majority of people already believe this - in fact most people believe the UFOs are real). Besides, what could be more shocking than to live through the latter half of the 20th century with thousands of hydrogen bombs aimed at every major city in the world? If we can handle that, surely we can handle the idea that ET s are real.

The facile explanations of fear, panic, shock and the like do not suffice to justify a level of secrecy so deep that even the President and his CIA Director could be denied access to the information.


A Current Estimate

Continued secrecy on the UFO subject must be related, then, to on-going anxiety related to the essential power dynamics of the world and how such a disclosure would impact these.

That is, the knowledge related to UFOs/ET phenomena must have such great potential for changing the status quo that its continued suppression is deemed essential, at all costs.

Going back to the early 1950s, we have found that the basic technology and physics behind these ET spacecraft were discovered through very intensive reverse-engineering projects. It was precisely at this point that the decision was made to increase the secrecy to an unprecedented level - one which essentially took the matter out of ordinary government chain of command control as we know it. Why?

Aside from the possible use of such knowledge by US/UK adversaries during the Cold War, it was immediately recognized that these devices were not your dad's Oldsmobile. The basic physics behind the energy generation and propulsion systems were such that they could easily replace all existing energy generation and propulsion systems on the earth. And with them, the entire geo-political and economic order.

In the 1950s, there was no great concern over global warming, eco-system collapse, ozone depletion, rain forest loss, bio-diversity degradation etc. In the wake of WW II, what was needed was stability, not a new convulsion of the world economic, technological and geo-political order. Remember: those in control like to stay in control. They are risk - averse, do not like significant change and do not give up control and power easily.

The disclosure of the existence of ET s, with the inevitable disclosure related to these new technologies soon to follow, would change the world forever - and they knew it. This was to be avoided at all costs. Besides, that was the era of " what is good for GM is good for America" , and the same would be true of big oil, big coal and the like.

The inescapable fact is this: The disclosure of the ET presence would bring with it the certain release of these technologies -and that release would sweep away the entire technological infrastructure of the planet. The changes would be immense - and sudden.

Fifty years later, as we prepare to turn the page to a new millennium ,this is more true now than then. Why? Because avoiding the problem in the 1950s - while convenient at the time - means that the situation is more tenuous now. For example, world dependence on oil and internal combustion technology is greater now than in 1955. And the world economy is larger by orders of magnitude now, so any change would be exponentially greater - and potentially more chaotic.

And so this is the conundrum: each decade and generation has passed this problem on to the next, only to find any path but continued secrecy more destabilizing than it would have been a decade earlier. In a maddening circle of secrecy, delay of disclosure and increasing world complexity and dependence on out-dated energy systems, each generation has found itself in a greater squeeze than the one before. As difficult as disclosure would have been in the 1950s, disclosure now is even more difficult. And potentially earth-shaking in its consequences.

The technological discoveries of the 1950s resulting from the reverse-engineering of extraterrestrial craft could have enabled us to completely transform the world economic, social, technological and environmental situation. That such advancements have been withheld from the public is related to the change-averse nature of the controlling hierarchy at the time - and to this day.

And make no mistake, the changes would be immense.

Consider: A technology which enables energy generation from the so-called zero point field and which enables every home, business, factory and vehicle to have its own source of power -without an external fuel source. Ever. No need for oil, gas, coal, nuclear plants or the internal combustion engine. And no pollution. Period.

Consider: A technology using electro-gravitic devices which allows for above surface transportation - no more roadways to cover fertile farmland since transportation could take place totally above the surface.
Sounds great. But in the 1950s, oil was plentiful, nobody worried too much about pollution, global warming was not the faintest concern and the powers that be just wanted stability . The status quo. And besides, why risk the tectonic changes related to such a disclosure? Let a later generation take care of it.

But now, we are that later generation. And 1999 is not 1949. The earth is straining under the burden of a growing population - now 6 billion people - all of whom want cars, electricity, TV s and the like. Everyone knows that we do not have 50 more years of oil - and even if we did, the earth's ecosystem could not withstand 50 more years of such abuse. The risks of disclosure are now much less than the risks of secrecy: If secrecy continues much longer, the earth's ecosystem will collapse. Talk about a big change and global instability...

Many people will consider the technological and economic impact of such a disclosure as the central justification of continued secrecy. After all, we are talking about a multi-trillion dollar per year change in the economy. The entire energy and transportation sectors of the economy would be revolutionized. And the energy sector - the part where non-renewable fuels are purchased and burned and have to be replenished - will utterly vanish. And while other industries will flourish, only a fool would dismiss the impact of such a multi-trillion dollar segment of the economy disappearing.

Certainly the ‘vested interests' involved in the global industrial infrastructure related to oil, gas, coal and internal combustion engines and public utilities is no small force in the world.

But to understand UFO secrecy you must consider what all that money represents at its core. Power. Massive geo-political power.

One must consider what will happen when every village in India (or Africa or South America or China) has devices which can generate large amounts of power without pollution and without spending huge sums of energy on fuel. The entire world will be able to develop in an unprecedented fashion - without pollution and without billions spent on power plants, transmission lines and combustible fuels. The have-nots will have.

This would widely be considered a good thing: after all, much of world instability, warfare and the like is related to mind-numbing poverty and economic depravity in a world of great wealth. Social injustice and extreme economic disparity breeds much chaos and suffering in the world. These decentralized, non-polluting technologies would change that permanently. Even the deserts will bloom...

But it must be remembered that geo-political power flows from technological and economic prowess. India has over 1 billion people and the US about one-fourth that, but who has the greater geo-political power?

As these new energy systems proliferate, the so-called third world will rapidly reach parity with the industrialized world of Europe, the US and Japan. This will cause a massive shift in geo-political power. And the industrialized world will find that it must then actually share power with the now down-trodden third world.

Those in the cat-bird seat currently (and in 1950) have no interest in doing any such thing. We can hardly even support and share power in the United Nations.

The release of information on the UFO / ET subject will lead to the global proliferation of new energy systems which will rapidly result in an equalization of power in the world. The US and Europe have around 600 million people. That is only 10% of the world's population. Once the other 90% rise in technological and economic standing, it is clear to see that the geo-political power will shift - or equalize - to the rest of the world. Power will have to be shared. Real global collective security will be inevitable. It is the end of the world as we know it.

When you combine the economic and technological impact with the geo-political impact, it becomes obvious that the changes related to ending secrecy are truly tectonic - massive, world-encircling and transformative. It is not to be regarded lightly.

But 50 years after the world could have had these new technologies - and 50 long years of ecological degradation, social and economic chaos and disparity - we find that we are the last generation in the long line of passing the cosmic hot potato known as the UFO secrecy problem.

And here we stand, holding this hot potato, but what shall we do about it?

To end the secrecy means vast and profound changes in virtually every aspect of human existence - economic, social, technological, philosophical, geo-political and so forth. But to continue the secrecy and the suppression of these new energy and propulsion technologies means something far more destabilizing: the collapse of the earth's ecosystem and the certain depletion of the fossil fuels on which we depend. And the growing anger of the have-nots, who are needlessly being deprived of a full and dignified life. There are no more generations to which we can pass this cosmic hot potato: we must deal with it and do what should have been done in 1950.


The Webs We Weave

As if the foregoing was not enough to justify secrecy, recall that extraordinary things have been done to maintain this secrecy. The infrastructure needed to maintain and expand the level of secrecy which can deceive presidents and CIA Directors and senior congressional leaders and European Prime Ministers and the like is substantial - and illegal. Let me be clear, the entity which controls the UFO matter and its related technologies has more power than any single government in the world or any single identified world leader.

That such a situation could arise was forewarned by President Eisenhower when, in January 1961, he cautioned us regarding the growing "military-industrial complex". This was his last speech as president to the world - and he was warning us directly of a frightening situation about which he had personal knowledge. For Eisenhower had seen the ET craft and deceased ET bodies. He knew of the covert programs dealing with the situation. But he also knew that he had lost control of these projects and that they were lying to him about the extent and full nature of their research and development activities.

Indeed, the current state-of-the-art in secrecy is a hybrid, quasi-government, quasi privatized operation which is international - and functions outside of the purview of any single agency or any single government. ‘The Government' - as you and I and Thomas Jefferson may think of it - is really quite outside the loop. Rather, a select, tightly controlled and compartmentalized ‘black' or unacknowledged project controls these matters. Access is by inclusion alone and if you are not included, it does not matter if you are CIA Director, President, Chairman of Senate Foreign Relations or UN Secretary General, you simply will not know about or have access to these projects.

Indeed the situation is so dire that senior Joint Chiefs of Staff leaders in the Pentagon who I have briefed have no more access to such projects than any other civilian - unless they are on the ‘inside' for some reason. But this is rare.

Essentially, the covert management of this matter operates as part super-secret international government program, and part privatized organized crime operation: It is more like a secret Mafia than government as one would normally think of it.

To acquire and maintain such power all types of things have been done. We are reminded of that Robert Frost poem in which he describes ‘the webs we weave...'. But how does such an entity extract itself from such a web of secrecy, deceit, lies and insubordination?

To be specific, this group has usurped power and rights not legally granted to it. It is extra-constitutional, both in the US and in the UK and other countries around the world. It is, therefore, a criminal enterprise and a conspiracy of the first order. Additionally, it has committed crimes which include assassinations, murder, kidnaping, theft of technology and so forth.

I will grant the possibility that, at least initially, this covert undertaking was designed to maintain secrecy and avoid instability. But the risks of inadvertent leaks - or a national or world leader deciding legally that it was time for disclosure - made it essential to weave a web of greater and greater secrecy and of illegal operations. And now the web has closed in on the operation itself.

That is, the complexity of the compartmentalized projects, the degree of unconstitutional and unauthorized activity, the ‘privatization' (or theft) by corporate partners (the ‘industrial' part of the military - industrial complex) of advanced technologies, the continued lying to legally elected and appointed leaders and to the public - all of these and more have contributed to a psychology of continued secrecy -because disclosure would expose the greatest scandal in recorded history.

For example, how would the public react to the fact that the degradation of the entire earth's ecosystem and the irretrievable loss of thousands of species of plants and animals now extinct due to pollution, has been utterly unnecessary -and could have been avoided if only an honest release of this information had occurred in the 1950s?

How would society react to the knowledge that trillions of dollars have been spent on unauthorized, unconstitutional projects over the years? And that these tax-payer dollars have been used by corporate partners in this secrecy to develop spin - off technologies based on the study of ET objects which were later patented and used in highly profitable technologies? Not only have the taxpayers been defrauded, they have then been made to pay a premium for such breakthroughs which were the result of research paid for by them! And this does not address the intellectual property theft of such technologies from the ET s. While the basic energy generation and propulsion technologies have been withheld, these corporate partners have profited wildly from other breakthroughs and benefits in electronics, miniaturization and related areas. Such covert technology transfers constitutes a multi-trillion dollar theft of technologies which really should be public domain since taxpayers have paid for it.

And how would the public react to the fact that the multi-billion dollar space program, using internal combustion rockets and the like, has been a primitive and unnecessary experiment since much more advanced technologies and propulsion systems were in existence before we ever went to the moon? NASA and related agencies have, for the most part, been as much a victim of this secrecy as has the rest of the government and the public. Only a small, very compartmentalized fraction of NASA people know of the real ET technologies hidden away in these projects. Certainly my uncle, who helped design the lunar module which took Neil Armstrong to the moon, was as much a victim an anyone insofar as he was denied access to these technological breakthroughs. He had to rely on the old physics and the old internal combustion jet thruster technologies just like everyone else. What a shame.

The inescapable reality is this: This secret project, no matter how well intentioned initially, got carried away with its own secret power. It abused this power. It has hijacked our future for fifty years. And the scandal of this fact would result in such consternation in society and in government that its consequences can hardly be imagined. Indeed, it could well be cataclysmic from a social and political perspective.

In fact, the quiet coup d'etat of the late 1940s and early 1950s, once exposed, could result in real instability today.

But the situation is actually much worse than this. All that is written above is dwarfed by a larger problem: The covert group running these UFO related black projects have also had exclusive sway over the early days of an embryonic extraterrestrial-human relationship. And it was been tragically mismanaged - nearly to the point of genuine global catastrophe.

For what happens when an unelected, unappointed, self-selecting, militarily oriented group alone has to deal with inter-species relations between humans and ET s? Well, as in most areas, if you wear rose-colored glasses the entire world looks red. And if you are wearing military glasses, every new and uncontrolled development will be seen as a potential or real military threat.

The nature of such a group - which is inordinately controlled and incestuous - is that it is homogenous in world-view and mind-set. Power and control are preeminent qualities. Such extreme secrecy creates a very dangerous milieu in which checks and balances, give and take, are utterly lacking. And in such an environment, very dangerous decisions can be made with inadequate feedback, discussion or insight from needed perspectives which are, per force, excluded.

In such an environment of extreme secrecy, militarism and paranoia, we have found that immensely dangerous actions have been taken against the ET s. Indeed, we have multiple inside sources who have described to us the use of increasingly advanced technologies to track, target and destroy extraterrestrial assets. If there is even a 10% chance that this is true ( I am convinced it is 100% accurate) we are dealing with a global diplomatic and social crisis which is utterly out of our control but which puts the entire planet at risk.

Remember, covert reverse-engineering projects have resulted in huge quantum leaps forward in technologies which, once applied to military systems, could be a real threat to ET s which may be here peacefully. The attempts to rapidly militarize space is likely a result of a myopic, militaristic and paranoid view of extraterrestrial projects and intentions. If left unchecked, it can only result in catastrophe.

Indeed this group, no matter how well-intentioned, is in urgent need of exposure so that global statesmen with a new perspective can intercede in this situation. While we see no evidence that the ET civilizations are at all hostile, it is also clear that it is unlikely that they will allow unfettered and growing interference with their operations. Self-defense is likely a universal quality. And while tremendous restraint has been shown by the ET s thus far, might there be a ‘cosmic trip wire' if human covert technologies begin to reach parity and we are using such advanced technologies in a bellicose fashion? The prospect is sobering.

We need our Jimmy Carters and Dalai Lammas and other international statesmen involved with so vast a problem. But if access is denied -and the subject remains undisclosed and off the global radar screen - we are left with the unelected few to decide our fate and act on our behalf. This must change, and soon.

In the final analysis, while the changes attendant such a disclosure related to UFOs and ET s would be massive and profoundly impact virtually every aspect of life on earth, it is still the right thing to do. Secrecy has taken on a life of its own - it is a growing cancer which needs to be cured before it destroys the life of earth and all who dwell on her.

The reasons for secrecy are clear: global power, economic and technological control, geo-political status quo, the fear of scandal surrounding the exposure of such projects and their behavior and so forth.

But the one thing more dangerous than disclosure is continued secrecy. The earth is dying because we are killing her. The top 250 people and families in the world have the net worth of 2.5 billion of our poorest citizens. The promising relationship between humanity and people from other planets is being militarized and strained by failed thinking and failed programs run completely in secret.

As daunting as disclosure may be, with all its potential for short-term instability and change, continued secrecy means that we will destroy the earth through our folly and greed. The future of humanity, which has been delayed and hijacked for the past 50 years, cannot be hijacked for 50 more. For we do not have 50 more years - the earth's ecosystem will collapse before then.

There are no easy choices. But there is one right one. Will you help us make it?

Monsanto, Syngenta, Bayer: Big Agri Peddles “GMO Gruel” to the Impoverished


gmo
Big Agri’s “Super Bananas for Brown People”
Perhaps the most racists, disgusting public relations stunt yet to sell genetically modified poison to the masses and monopolize the world’s food supply.
Much of the starvation and malnutrition across the so-called “developing” or “third” world, is due to the unmitigated, global campaign of human exploitation driven by globalization. The Walmarts and Tescos of the world line their shelves with goods cultivated, manufactured, and otherwise sourced from millions of people living under unhealthy, inhumane conditions up to and including literal slavery across the third world.
This system of global interdependency, lorded over by Wall Street and London corporate-financier monopolies, doesn’t just coincidentally allow such conditions to exist, but is built on this perpetual and ever expanding socioeconomic disparity.Clearly the solution to solving destitution that leads to malnutrition and starvation is addressing the socioeconomic disparity that created it in the first place, but the monopolies that benefit from this disparity the most are in no way about to do so. Instead, their proposal is to feed the third world with genetically modified gruel to make up for the fact that poor populations cannot access a normal, balanced diet. This “GMO gruel” not only allows big-agricultural monopolies to expand their markets under the guise of “charity,” but allows them to monopolize a greater portion of the world’s food supply. By hooking the third world on “GMO gruel” that will be patented, centrally controlled, and beyond the means of local populations to reproduce independently, the very perpetrators of global disparity will only tighten their grip on humanity tighter still. From “Golden Rice” to “Super Bananas,” this GMO gruel represents the very worst of a long history of inhuman, racist imperialism. It is essentially corporate-financiers handing out “Super Bananas for Brown People.”
The same propaganda networks focused on keeping consumers globally ignorant about what is in their food through anti-GMO labeling campaigns, are pushing poisoned, monopolizing GMO schemes like “Golden Rice” and “Super Bananas,” disguised as “socially conscious” biotech “charity.” But GMO gruel for the most destitute of society is not an answer. At best, it is a cheap publicity stunt designed to push GMO into new markets while painting opponents of big-agri multinationals as “promoting starvation.” At worst it is a sovereignty usurping assault on a global, national, local, and even personal level. Either way, it should be wholly condemned and rejected.
The Real Solution 
The real and most obvious solution is not peddling GMO gruel to the impoverished to make up for the fact that they don’t have access to a normal diet, but to give them access to a normal diet in the first place. This is done with first stabilizing the geopolitical chaos that creates and perpetuates socioeconomic injustice. This must be done by exposing and foiling the West’s various hegemonic geopolitical campaigns in Africa, South America, Asia, and even Eastern Europe.Next, education and localizing agriculture through training and assistance could be done in the short term, providing a long term, self-sustaining solution. Organic farms producing a variety of crops for local consumption, rather than devastating, debt-incurring monoculture pursued by farmers worldwide in a self-defeating cycle of debt and dependency on big-agri, could begin solving deficiencies in local diets – not to mention a whole host of other socioeconomic challenges.
Image: The multinational corporations pushing for “super bananas for brown people” are the very monopolies that have created and perpetuated the conditions of immense disparity that have caused malnutrition and starvation for millions in the first place. Understanding that these monopolies are the problem, and that decentralizing their power is the answer, is the first step to truly solving injustices now being exploited to further expand the power of these special interests.
For the hundreds of millions being wasted on “Super Bananas” and “Golden Rice,” such funding could be directed toward truly solving malnutrition and starvation. By solving these problems permanently and locally, big-agricultural giants like Monsanto, Syngenta, Bayer, and others, would be denied an opportunity to exploit human misery they themselves have contributed to creating and perpetuating, to merely expand their monopolies and negative impact on humanity further.
In Thailand, the new government is attempting to ween the population off of subsidies and dependency on big-agricultural giants through a national organic agriculture initiative that includes creating localized fertilizer production, local processing, and even training in marketing to give farmers the power to sell their crops directly to the markets rather than depend on big-retail monopolies.
Real solutions that truly help the people, are implemented at the expense of corporate-financier monopolies. By decentralizing everything from fertilizer, pesticide, and herbicide production, to distribution and retail, the very existence of multinational monopolies are challenged. Since the governments many people believe serve their interests, in fact are directed by corporate-financier special interests, expect none of these solutions to ever be implemented by “them.”
Instead, we must come together as communities to solve these issues locally for ourselves, and create sustainable models that can be replicated around the world by others who need them most. It is not a solution that can be implemented overnight, but it can be done, step by small step, year by year, toward a better tomorrow. Since “Super Bananas” and “Golden Rice” are in fact, not solutions at all, it is guaranteed that the problems of malnutrition and starvation, as well as dependency on unjust multinational monopolies, will persist or in fact, worsen. We have nothing to lose, no matter how slow our progress may seem, by taking the first tentative steps today.

Silicon Valley Doesn't Just Help the Surveillance State—It Built It

his wet dream cum true ..now don't fer~get to fill out your "control file" er errr um FB page today lol  .fucking ingen~yes.. huh ..fill~in yer own "control file"

More than a decade ago, CIA Director Michael Hayden began enlisting the private sector to build the NSA's data ops.   hehe & u thought ole zucky just dreamed it up lol  yep he had a dream & pooooof ? just like billy boy (MS) is just do~in gods ..work lol  which God is the 1 that ...spys  ??? um pretty sher it's that fuck ..wit the fork ,tho   could b wrong tho :o

Sarah Conard/Reuters
Some of America's biggest social media and tech companies have been denying in recent days that they were aware of the National Security Agency's recently-exposed "PRISM" and telephone monitoring programs. But these denials obscure a larger truth: The government's massive data collection and surveillance system was largely built not by professional spies or Washington bureaucrats but by Silicon Valley and private defense contractors.
So says Michael V. Hayden, the retired Air Force general who as director of the NSA from 1999 to 2006 was a primary mover behind the agency's rebirth from Cold War dinosaur into a post-9/11 terror-detection leviathan with sometimes frightening technical and legal powers.
After many false starts, that transformation was achieved largely by drafting private-sector companies that had far more technical know-how than did the NSA, and contracting with them to set up and administer the technical aspects of these surveillance programs, Hayden told National Journal in an interview Sunday.
"There isn't a phone or computer at Fort Meade [NSA headquarters] that the government owns" today, he says.
That doesn't quite square with the popular image of the NSA as a shadowy confection of Big Brother and Big Government. Nor with the description of PRISM as merely "an internal government computer system," as Director of National Intelligence James Clapper called it over the weekend.
Among these contributing companies reportedly is Palantir Technologies, the Palo Alto, Calif., company that several news outlets have identified as a close associate of the NSA's. Another is Eagle Alliance, a joint venture of Computer Sciences Corp. and Northrup Grumman that runs the NSA's IT program and describes itself on its website as "the Intelligence Community's premier Information Technology Managed Services provider." ("We made them part of the team," says Hayden.) Another is Booz Allen Hamilton, the international consultancy for which the reported whistleblower in the NSA stories, contractor Edward Snowden, began working three months ago. In 2002, Booz Allen Hamilton won a $63 million contract for an early and controversial version of the current data-mining program, called Total Information Awareness, which was later cancelled after congressional Democrats raised questions about invasion of privacy in the early 2000s. The firm's current vice-chairman, Mike McConnell, was DNI in the George W. Bush administration and, before that, director of the NSA. Clapper is also a former Booz Allen executive.
In its outreach to private industry, the NSA occasionally overreached. The most notorious example was the $1.2 billion "Trailblazer" program developed in the early-to-mid-2000s by SAIC and other companies, which led to the notorious attempted prosecution of another whistleblower, an NSA career employee, who sought to expose the program as a wasteful failure. "One of the things we tried to do with Trailblazer was to hire out a solution to our problems," Hayden says. "It was kind of a moonshot."
Afterwards, Hayden said, "we began to do this in increments," still employing private-sector firms. "It's the companies responding to your requests... You look for a Palantir, and you make them part of our team."
It's questionable whether any of the nine major U.S. Internet companies named in the PRISM stories were, like some of these contractors, also willing parts of the NSA "team." For the tech industry, especially the social-media companies, the controversy over the extent of the NSA's domestic data gathering has become an acute embarrassment. The NSA is said to have tapped into servers of the nine companies, but the heads of two of the biggest, Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg and Google co-founder Larry Page, issued near-identical statements late last week saying neither of them had ever heard "of a program called PRISM" until the press reports.
Yet for Hayden, who was one of the longest-serving NSA directors ever, remaking the stodgy Cold War spy agency into a private-tech-sector enterprise was a logical outgrowth of dramatic changes in the nature of both threats and technology.
Well before 9/11, he says, he realized that as the Internet era was taking off, the NSA was failing in its mission to collect signals intelligence, or sigint, and effectively "going deaf," in the critique of the time. Hayden admitted this, surprisingly, in an open session of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence in 2000, telling the members what he thought needed to happen if the NSA was going to get in front of the data. "This agency grew up in the Cold War. We came from the world of ENIGMA [the Nazi encryption device whose code was broken by the allies], for God's sakes. There were no privacy concerns in intercepting German communications to their submarines, or Russian microwave transmissions to missile bases," he says. "But now, I told them, all the data you want to go for is coexisting with your stuff. And the trick then, the only way NSA succeeds, is to get enough power to be able to reach that new data but with enough trust to know enough not to grab your stuff even though it's whizzing right by."
That is still the issue today, Hayden says. And while he admits that critics have raised some legitimate concerns about proper monitoring and intrusions into privacy, inadvertent or not, he believes there are now adequate safeguards against undue intrusion into citizens' records. Hayden adds: "If we weren't doing this, there would be holy hell to raise." He notes that the 2002 joint Senate-House inquiry into 9/11 criticized the NSA for being "far too cautious." And as controversial as they might seem, programs such as PRISM were always intended to resolve the conflict he had laid out in 2000: how to monitor overseas conversations that are often routed through servers in the United States. "This is a home game for us," says Hayden. "Are we not going to take advantage that so much of it goes through Redmond, Washington?"
During most of the Cold War, he says, the NSA was the cutting-edge innovator, helping to create the Internet and American computer industry back in the 1950s and '60. "We were America's Information-Age enterprise during America's Industrial Age. We had the habit of saying if we need it, we're going to have to build it," Hayden says. "But in the outside world there was a technological explosion in the two universes that had been at the birth of the agency almost uniquely ours: telecommunications and computers."
By the time 9/11 arrived, the American tech industry was building the best stuff and had the best minds, so the NSA no longer had any choice but to enlist Silicon Valley's help. Signals intelligence "has to look like its target. We have to master whatever technology the target is using to turn his beeps and squeaks into something humanly intelligible," Hayden says. Not only was much of this traffic being routed through the United States, but the tech sector knew how to penetrate and "mine" it. He concludes: "Why would we not turn the most powerful telecommunications and computing management structure on the planet to our use?"
The NSA did. But now some of these companies may come to regret what is emerging as a public relations disaster.

Machine that could scan the brain and read your dreams: Scanner is so powerful it can detect and reconstruct images of faces people are thinking of

  • Scientists have created a machine which can read dreams while we sleep
  • US researchers say it is so powerful it can extract images from the brain
  • Believe it could be used in future to reconstruct people's memories
  • Could collect images of criminals from the minds of witnesses, they say

Scientists have created a machine with the potential to read our dreams while we sleep.
Researchers in the US say it is so powerful that it can extract images from people’s brains and display them on a screen.
The data from the brain scanner has already been used to detect and reconstruct images of faces that people are thinking of.
Researchers believe the same technology could be used in the future to enable them to reconstruct images from people’s memories, imagination and dreams.

It could also possibly be used to collect images of criminals from the minds of witnesses.
Alan Cowen, a neuroscientist at the University of California, Berkeley, said: ‘Our methods yield strikingly accurate neural reconstructions of faces.
‘This represents a novel and promising approach for investigating face perception, but also suggests avenues for reconstructing ‘offline’ visual experiences — including dreams, memories and imagination.’
Six volunteers were shown 300 faces while they laid inside an MRI scanner.
Scientists were then able to analyse how their brains responded to dozens of different facial features including blond hair and blue eyes to dark skin and beards.
When they had compiled a database of responses, they showed the volunteers a new set of faces and measured their reaction to each image.
By comparing the second responses to the database, they were able to reconstruct the image they were looking at.
The research is based on a theory that all human processes have a ‘neural correlate’ and that thoughts and feelings are merely a complex pattern of chemical reactions.
Some neuroscientists believe there is the potential to read such patterns if they can only build sensitive enough instruments.
Six volunteers were shown 300 faces while they laid inside an MRI scanner. They then compiled a database of responses used to create the machine

Mr Cowen and his fellow researchers, Brice Kuhl of New York University and Professor Marvin Chun of Yale, believe that extracting facial images is the first step towards eventually producing advanced mind-reading technology.
Mr Kuhl said: ‘I study memory, and it’s hard not to be excited by the prospect of being able to reconstruct the images that we bring to mind when we remember something.
‘We are certainly heading in the direction of reconstructing dreams too. Something that looks like a high-definition movie of your dreams is not going to happen in the immediate future, but we have already seen improvements in the sensitivity of these methods.’
Mr Cowen assured the public that the technology did not enable them to forcibly extract information from subjects, however.
He told Fox News: ‘This sort of technology can only read active parts of the brain. So you couldn’t read passive memories – you would have to get the person to imagine the memory to read it.
‘It’s a matter of time, and eventually – maybe 200 years from now – we’ll have some way of reading inactive parts
of the brain.
‘But that’s a much harder problem, as it involves measuring very fine details of brain structure that we don’t even really understand.’
