NSA Spying: So They Are Listening In, After All By Tom Burghardt

Despite a stream of mendacious twaddle from President Obama, congressional grifters and spook agency mouthpieces like Office of the Director of National Intelligence head James Clapper, FBI Director Robert Mueller and NSA chief General Keith Alexander, it turns out our guardians are listening in to America’s, and most of the world’s, telephone conversations after all.

US: One Step Removed From Full-Blown Fascism By Rob Urie

The history of recent decades has government spy agencies hiring ‘private’ companies to carry out the activities they are legally prohibited from carrying out. This makes government assertions regarding spying on citizens a game of three-card monte—the testimony of government officials is calculated to be irrelevant to actual activities. Continue reading

Our man in Quito By Pepe Escobar

It takes a former CIA asset to beat US “intelligence” – more like intel deprivation. The story of Edward Snowden’s escape from Hong Kong is textbook. This correspondent, at dim sum on Sunday, was alerted by a source; “Get ready for something big; he’s leaving soon.” That was about 12:30 pm Hong Kong time. In… Continue reading

America Is Running the World’s Largest Terrorist Operation

The U.S. is not only killing people whose identity it doesn’t even know, but it is also killing children. And it is using the justifiably-vilified Al Qaeda tactic of killing people attending funerals of those killed – and targeting people attempting to rescue people who have been injured by – our previous strikes.

The CIA in Australia: The UKUSA Agreement between the US, the UK and Australia

On 11 November 1975 we saw the culmination of the most blatant act of external interference in Australia’s internal affairs and its autonomy as a nation and democracy.

“Intelligence,” Corporatism, and the Dance of Death By Arthur Silber

You may at first think the following is a bad joke, but I assure you it is not a joke at all. At the very end of this NYT story about Booz Allen and the complex interconnections between nominally “private” business and the national intelligence community, we read: But the legal warnings at the end… Continue reading

Follow the Money: The Secret Heart of the Secret State By Chris Floyd

In a series of powerful, insightful essays, Silber has, among other things, laid bare the dangers of the oddly circumscribed ‘gatekeeper’ approach of the journalistic guardians (at, ironically, the Guardian) of Snowden’s secrets, particularly their slow drip-feed of carefully self-censored tidbits from the famous Powerpoint presentation that Snowden secreted from the bowels of the United… Continue reading

The Stunning Hypocrisy of the U.S. Government

At a press conference to discuss the accusations, an N.S.A. spokesman surprised observers by announcing the spying charges against Mr. Snowden with a totally straight face. “These charges send a clear message,” the spokesman said. “In the United States, you can’t spy on people.” Continue reading

Britain’s Surveillance State: The Secret Ops of the “Government Communications Headquarters” (GCHQ) By Colin Todhunter

For many people, personal privacy vs widespread surveillance has been a major issue for decades. However, some thought it might have been happening but chose to downplay it. Others didn’t want to know and just didn’t care. Edward Snowden’s recent revelations indicate it is happening and that we should all care. Continue reading
