Trust that I will try to reason with the Russians again in my Native
Land but quite  frankly I grew tired of them ingoring back in 2013 and
I made Harper everybody and his else dog well aware of my indignation

Methinks if the Russian bureaucrats in Ottawa were truly wise they
would have rid themselves of their promotions of Harper. After all
Harper has been filed into history books for over a year.

http://canada.mid.ru/web/canada-en/russian-canadian-relations-today

"The former Canadian Governor-General Adrienne Clarkson visited Russia
on September 23-October 1, 2003. Her participation in the celebrations
on the occasion of the 60th anniversary of Victory in the Great
Patriotic War (1941-1945) which took place in Moscow on May 9, 2005
became a landmark in bilateral relations."

Page 4 of the pdf file should prove that I don't care where the former
Canadian Governor-General Adrienne Clarkson went or when. I am Suing
the Queen of England because of her failings and that of the RCMP. Get
It YET Ralphy Goodale and Bobby Paulson?

McCain plans Russia cyber hearing for Thursday

By Jeremy Herb and Connor O’Brien 12/30/16 10:23 AM EST

Senate Armed Services Chairman John McCain has scheduled a hearing on
cyber threats for Thursday, where the issue of Russia's election-year
hacking will take center stage, a source familiar with the committee's
planning told POLITICO.

Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, National Security
Agency and Cyber Command Chief Adm. Mike Rogers and Undersecretary of
Defense for Intelligence Marcel Lettre are scheduled to testify,
according to the source.

The timing of the hearing — three days into the new Congress — is in
the same week that President-elect Donald Trump says he plans to be
briefed by the intelligence community on the Russian hacking.

The Obama administration issued new sanctions against Russia on
Thursday in response to the hacking, kicking 35 Russian diplomats and
intelligence operatives out of the U.S. and targeting Moscow's primary
security service, the FSB, and its main intelligence directorate, the
GRU.

Trump has been dismissive of the administration's charges that Russia
tampered with the presidential campaign. In response to the sanctions,
Trump said in a statement Thursday, "It's time for our country to move
on to bigger and better things," but also said that he would meet next
week with intelligence leaders — potentially some of the same
officials to testify before McCain's committee.

The Arizona Republican has called for creating a Select Committee in
Congress to investigate the Russian hacking allegations. And on
Thursday, he and Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) said they would push for
"stronger sanctions on Russia" in the new Congress.

Dear David

Thank you for your further email dated August 2 addressed to Andrew
Bailey, the CEO of the Financial Conduct Authority. Following his
review, Andrew has passed your email to me to respond.

I understand that you’ve been in contact with the Financial Conduct
Authority (FCA) multiple times and we’ve been unable to determine what
kind of guidance you would like from us. We’ve asked you to clarify
your queries several times, unfortunately you’ve not provided us with
a better understanding about this matter.

Our last correspondence with you of July 25 , informed you that we
have given you as much information as we can and there is nothing
further that we can usefully add to this topic unless we receive a
direct question explaining the guidance that you would like from us..
This is our final response on this subject.

Any further contact that we receive from you about this will be placed
on file but will not be responded to unless a direct question is asked
of the FCA.

Yours Sincerely

A Conversation With James Clapper
Council on Foreign Relations
Streamed live on Oct 25, 2016

James Clapper reflects on lessons learned over his six years as
Director of National Intelligence and discusses critical intelligence
concerns facing the next U.S. president.

Speaker:

James R. Clapper, Director of National Intelligence

Presider:

Charlie Rose

https://www.dni.gov/index.php/about/leadership/director-of-national-intelligence

Director of National Intelligence

Mailing Address: Office of the Director of National Intelligence,
Washington, DC 20511

Phone Number: 703-733-8600

James R. Clapper
The Honorable James R. Clapper was sworn in as the fourth Director of
National Intelligence (DNI) on August 9, 2010. As DNI, Mr. Clapper
leads the United States Intelligence Community and serves as the
principal intelligence advisor to the President.

Mr. Clapper retired in 1995 after a distinguished career in the U.S.
Armed Forces. His career began as a rifleman in the U.S. Marine Corps
Reserve and culminated as a lieutenant general in the U.S. Air Force
and Director of the Defense Intelligence Agency. His
intelligence-related positions over his 32 years in uniform included
Assistant Chief of Staff for Intelligence at U.S. Air Force
Headquarters during Operations Desert Shield/Desert Storm and Director
of Intelligence for three war-fighting commands: U.S. Forces Korea,
Pacific Command, and Strategic Air Command. Of note, he also served
two combat tours during the Southeast Asia conflict and flew 73 combat
support missions in EC-47s over Laos and Cambodia.

Directly following his retirement, Mr. Clapper worked in industry for
six years as an executive in three successive companies with his
business focus being the Intelligence Community. Mr. Clapper also
served as a consultant and advisor to Congress and to the Departments
of Defense and Energy and as a member of a wide variety of government
panels, boards, commissions, and advisory groups. He was a member of
the Downing Assessment Task Force that investigated the Khobar Towers
bombing in 1996, and was vice chairman of a commission chaired by
former Governor Jim Gilmore of Virginia on the subject of homeland
security.

Mr. Clapper returned to the government in September 2001 as the first
civilian director of the National Imagery and Mapping Agency (NIMA).
He served as Director for five years transforming it into the National
Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA) as it is today.

Prior to becoming the Director of National Intelligence, Mr. Clapper
served for over three years in two Administrations as the Under
Secretary of Defense for Intelligence, where he served as the
principal staff assistant and advisor to the Secretary and Deputy
Secretary of Defense on intelligence, counterintelligence, and
security matters for the Department. In this capacity, he was also
dual-hatted as the Director of Defense Intelligence for DNI.

Mr. Clapper earned a bachelor’s degree in government and politics from
the University of Maryland, a master’s degree in political science
from St. Mary’s University, San Antonio, Texas, and an honorary
doctorate in strategic intelligence from the then Joint Military
Intelligence College.

His awards include three National Intelligence Distinguished Service
Medals, two Defense Distinguished Service Medals, the Air Force
Distinguished Service Medal, the Coast Guard’s Distinguished Public
Service Award, the Department of Defense Distinguished Civilian
Service Award, and a host of other U.S. military and foreign
government awards and decorations. He was named as one of the Top 100
Information Technology Executives by Federal Computer Week in 2001,
and has been singled out by the NAACP in the form of its National
Distinguished Service Award, and has been awarded the
Presidentially-conferred National Security Medal.

Clearly the document hereto attached are yours. So why try to play

been discussed during public hearings within the Federal Court of
Canada?

If you Yankee Feds don't wish to check your own records your should at
least contunue surfing the Internet EH? Below you will find a portion
of anemail I sent to the FBI and many others last week that the FBI
denied receiving but an EX CIA agent certainly admitted that he did.

P.S, For the Public Record only one lawyer in Washington returned my
calls yesterday. In my humble opinion Mr Fein is certainly entitled to
know everything that the Yankee Feds dudes do for the benefit of his
third party clients before a very important Yankee election. This is
particularly important to Canadians in light of the fact that I have
already proven that the CROWN Corp known as the CBC has made it
blatantly obvious that it supports Hillary Clinton as it deletes
hundreds of comments with an opposing opinion within their website. So
much for being non partisan even in Yankee elections N'esy Pas Gilles
Blinn of the RCMP/GRC and Minister Joly?

For the PUBLIC record I just off the phone with James Comey's office
in Washington and they denied receiving this email but it did not
bounce back. Furthermore I do have a record of my calling the FBI in
Boston and Washington  immediately after sending this email.

Meanwhile as I was talking to several of Comey's assistants the EX CIA
know it all Robert Steele sent me the following email. Seems that your
fellow FED spin  doctors are good for something after all even if you
are are as nasty as Helll EH Barry Winters and Chief Rod Knecht?

> WikiLeaks' Julian Assange to leave embassy 'soon'
>
> Kim Hjelmgaard, USA TODAY 11:08 a.m. EDT August 18, 2014
>
> LONDON — WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange announced Monday that after
> spending two years in the Embassy of Ecuador in London he will "soon"
> leave the diplomatic safe harbor.
>
> He made the comments during a joint press conference with Ecuador's
> Foreign Minister Ricardo Patino. Assange did not elaborate on the
> timing or address whether an impasse over his potential extradition
> had been resolved.
>
> It was suggested in the British press over the weekend that Assange
> may need hospital treatment for a heart defect and lung condition and
> that any move could be to remedy those suspected health problems.
>
> However, Assange refused to be drawn on those specific points Monday,
> saying only that when he does leave it will "probably not" be for the
> reasons reported on.
>
> WikiLeaks spokesman Kristinn Hrafnsson later clarified Assange's
> claim. Hrafnsson said the issue of Assange's extradition must first be
> resolved before he can leave.
>
> "The plan is to leave as soon as the U.K. government decides to honor
> its obligations," Hrafnsson said, referring to guarantees he is
> seeking over the right to travel to Ecuador.
>
> Still, Assange said that his health has suffered as a result of his
> confinement.
>
> "It's (the embassy) an environment in which any healthy person would
> find themselves soon enough with certain difficulties they would have
> to manage," Assange said. He said the embassy "has no outside areas,
> no sunlight."
>
> Assange, 43, fled to the embassy in 2012 fearing extradition to the
> U.S. via Sweden, where authorities want to question him over
> allegations related to a sexual assault.
>
> Ecuador has granted him refugee status and says it remains committed
> to his protection, but British police have so far refused to let
> Assange leave the embassy and it is thought that he would be arrested
> if he tried to do so.
>
> In 2010, WikiLeaks published a tranche of leaked military and
> diplomatic cables and Assange has been the subject of an investigation
> by U.S. authorities.

> >>
> >> 2) You can phone us directly on 0800 0 234 567 (8am-6pm, Monday to

> >>
> >> Businesses normally have to complete their investigation within eight

> >>

> >> If you want us to look into a complaint, you will need to:

> >>
> >> There are two ways to do this:
> >>
> >> 1) You can download our complaint form off our website at

Snowden Documents Reveal Covert Surveillance and Pressure Tactics
Aimed at WikiLeaks and Its Supporters
By Glenn Greenwald and Ryan Gallagher 18 Feb 2014, 1:50 AM EDT

Top-secret documents from the National Security Agency and its British
counterpart reveal for the first time how the governments of the
United States and the United Kingdom targeted WikiLeaks and other
activist groups with tactics ranging from covert surveillance to
prosecution.
The efforts – detailed in documents provided previously by NSA
whistleblower Edward Snowden – included a broad campaign of
international pressure aimed not only at WikiLeaks founder Julian
Assange, but atwhat the U.S. government calls “the human network that
supports WikiLeaks.” The documents also contain internal discussions
about targeting the file-sharing site Pirate Bay and hacktivist
collectives such as Anonymous.
One classified document from Government Communications Headquarters,
Britain’s top spy agency, shows that GCHQ used its surveillance system
to secretly monitor visitors to a WikiLeaks site. By exploiting its
ability to tap into the fiber-optic cables that make up the backbone
of the Internet, the agency confided to allies in 2012, it was able to
collect the IP addresses of visitors in real time, as well as the
search terms that visitors used to reach the site from search engines
like Google.
Another classified document from the U.S. intelligence community,
dated August 2010, recounts how the Obama administration urged foreign
allies to file criminal charges against Assange over the group’s
publication of the Afghanistan war logs.
A third document, from July 2011, contains a summary of an internal
discussion in which officials from two NSA offices – including the
agency’s general counsel and an arm of its Threat Operations Center –
considered designating WikiLeaks as “a ‘malicious foreign actor’ for
the purpose of targeting.” Such a designation would have allowed the
group to be targeted with extensive electronic surveillance – without
the need to exclude U.S. persons from the surveillance searches.
In 2008, not long after WikiLeaks was formed, the U.S. Army prepared a
report that identified the organization as an enemy, and plotted how
it could be destroyed. The new documents provide a window into how the
U.S. and British governments appear to have shared the view that
WikiLeaks represented a serious threat, and reveal the controversial
measures they were willing to take to combat it.
In a statement to The Intercept, Assange condemned what he called “the
reckless and unlawful behavior of the National Security Agency” and
GCHQ’s “extensive hostile monitoring of a popular publisher’s website
and its readers.”
“News that the NSA planned these operations at the level of its Office
of the General Counsel is especially troubling,” Assange said. “Today,
we call on the White House to appoint a special prosecutor to
investigate the extent of the NSA’s criminal activity against the
media, including WikiLeaks, its staff, its associates and its
supporters.”
Illustrating how far afield the NSA deviates from its self-proclaimed
focus on terrorism and national security, the documents reveal that
the agency considered using its sweeping surveillance system against
Pirate Bay, which has been accused of facilitating copyright
violations. The agency also approved surveillance of the foreign
“branches” of hacktivist groups, mentioning Anonymous by name.
The documents call into question the Obama administration’s repeated
insistence that U.S. citizens are not being caught up in the sweeping
surveillance dragnet being cast by the NSA. Under the broad rationale
considered by the agency, for example, any communication with a group
designated as a “malicious foreign actor,” such as WikiLeaks and
Anonymous, would be considered fair game for surveillance.
Julian Sanchez, a research fellow at the Cato Institute who
specializes in surveillance issues, says the revelations shed a
disturbing light on the NSA’s willingness to sweep up American
citizens in its surveillance net.
“All the reassurances Americans heard that the broad authorities of
the FISA Amendments Act could only be used to ‘target’ foreigners seem
a bit more hollow,” Sanchez says, “when you realize that the ‘foreign
target’ can be an entire Web site or online forum used by thousands if
not millions of Americans.”

GCHQ Spies on WikiLeaks Visitors
The system used by GCHQ to monitor the WikiLeaks website – codenamed
ANTICRISIS GIRL – is described in a classified PowerPoint presentation
prepared by the British agency and distributed at the 2012 “SIGDEV
Conference.” At the annual gathering, each member of the “Five Eyes”
alliance – the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Australia and
New Zealand – describes the prior year’s surveillance successes and
challenges.
In a top-secret presentation at the conference, two GCHQ spies
outlined how ANTICRISIS GIRL was used to enable “targeted website
monitoring” of WikiLeaks (See slides 33 and 34). The agency logged
data showing hundreds of users from around the world, including the
United States, as they were visiting a WikiLeaks site –contradicting
claims by American officials that a deal between the U.K. and the U.S.
prevents each country from spying on the other’s citizens.
The IP addresses collected by GCHQ are used to identify individual
computers that connect to the Internet, and can be traced back to
specific people if the IP address has not been masked using an
anonymity service. If WikiLeaks or other news organizations were
receiving submissions from sources through a public dropbox on their
website, a system like ANTICRISIS GIRL could potentially be used to
help track them down. (WikiLeaks has not operated a public dropbox
since 2010, when it shut down its system in part due to security
concerns over surveillance.)
In its PowerPoint presentation, GCHQ identifies its target only as
“wikileaks.” One slide, displaying analytics derived from the
surveillance, suggests that the site monitored was the official
wikileaks.org domain. It shows that users reached the targeted site by
searching for “wikileaks.org” and for “maysan uxo,” a term associated
with a series of leaked Iraq war logs that are hosted on
wikileaks.org.
The ANTICRISIS GIRL initiative was operated by a GCHQ unit called
Global Telecoms Exploitation (GTE), which was previously reported by
The Guardian to be linked to the large-scale, clandestine Internet
surveillance operation run by GCHQ, codenamed TEMPORA.
Operating in the United Kingdom and from secret British eavesdropping
bases in Cyprus and other countries, GCHQ conducts what it refers to
as “passive” surveillance – indiscriminately intercepting massive
amounts of data from Internet cables, phone networks and satellites.
The GTE unit focuses on developing “pioneering collection
capabilities” to exploit the stream of data gathered from the
Internet.
As part of the ANTICRISIS GIRL system, the documents show, GCHQ used
publicly available analytics software called Piwik to extract
information from its surveillance stream, not only monitoring visits
to targeted websites like WikiLeaks, but tracking the country of
origin of each visitor.
It is unclear from the PowerPoint presentation whether GCHQ monitored
the WikiLeaks site as part of a pilot program designed to demonstrate
its capability, using only a small set of covertly collected data, or
whether the agency continues to actively deploy its surveillance
system to monitor visitors to WikiLeaks. It was previously reported in
The Guardian that X-KEYSCORE, a comprehensive surveillance weapon used
by both NSA and GCHQ, allows “an analyst to learn the IP addresses of
every person who visits any website the analyst specifies.”
GCHQ refused to comment on whether ANTICRISIS GIRL is still
operational. In an email citing the agency’s boilerplate response to
inquiries, a spokeswoman insisted that “all of GCHQ’s work is carried
out in accordance with a strict legal and policy framework which
ensures that our activities are authorized, necessary and
proportionate, and that there is rigorous oversight.”
But privacy advocates question such assurances. “How could targeting
an entire website’s user base be necessary or proportionate?” says Gus
Hosein, executive director of the London-based human rights group
Privacy International. “These are innocent people who are turned into
suspects based on their reading habits. Surely becoming a target of a
state’s intelligence and security apparatus should require more than a
mere click on a link.”
The agency’s covert targeting of WikiLeaks, Hosein adds, call into
question the entire legal rationale underpinning the state’s system of
surveillance. “We may be tempted to see GCHQ as a rogue agency,
ungoverned in its use of unprecedented powers generated by new
technologies,” he says. “But GCHQ’s actions are authorized by
[government] ministers. The fact that ministers are ordering the
monitoring of political interests of Internet users shows a systemic
failure in the rule of law.”

Going After Assange and His Supporters
The U.S. attempt to pressure other nations to prosecute Assange is
recounted in a file that the intelligence community calls its
“Manhunting Timeline.” The document details, on a country-by-country
basis, efforts by the U.S. government and its allies to locate,
prosecute, capture or kill alleged terrorists, drug traffickers,
Palestinian leaders and others. There is a timeline for each year from
2008 to 2012.
An entry from August 2010 – headlined “United States, Australia, Great
Britain, Germany, Iceland” – states: “The United States on August 10
urged other nations with forces in Afghanistan, including Australia,
United Kingdom, and Germany, to consider filing criminal charges
against Julian Assange.” It describes Assange as the “founder of the
rogue Wikileaks Internet website and responsible for the unauthorized
publication of over 70,000 classified documents covering the war in
Afghanistan.”
In response to questions from The Intercept, the NSA suggested that
the entry is “a summary derived from a 2010 article” in the Daily
Beast.That article, which cited an anonymous U.S. official, reported
that “the Obama administration is pressing Britain, Germany,
Australia, and other allied Western governments to consider opening
criminal investigations of WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange and to
severely limit his nomadic travels across international borders.”
The government entry in the “Manhunting Timeline” adds Iceland to the
list of Western nations that were pressured, and suggests that the
push to prosecute Assange is part of a broader campaign. The effort,
it explains,“exemplifies the start of an international effort to focus
the legal element of national power upon non-state actor Assange, and
the human network that supports WikiLeaks.” The entry does not specify
how broadly the government defines that “human network,” which could
potentially include thousands of volunteers, donors and journalists,
as well as people who simply spoke out in defense of WikiLeaks.
In a statement, the NSA declined to comment on the documents or its
targeting of activist groups, noting only that the agency “provides
numerous opportunities and forums for their analysts to explore
hypothetical or actual circumstances to gain appropriate advice on the
exercise of their authorities within the Constitution and the law, and
to share that advice appropriately.”
But the entry aimed at WikiLeaks comes from credentialed officials
within the intelligence community. In an interview in Hong Kong last
June, Edward Snowden made clear that the only NSA officials empowered
to write such entries are those “with top-secret clearance and public
key infrastructure certificates” – a kind of digital ID card enabling
unique access to certain parts of the agency’s system. What’s more,
Snowden added, the entries are “peer reviewed” – and every edit made
is recorded by the system.
The U.S. launched its pressure campaign against WikiLeaks less than a
week after the group began publishing the Afghanistan war logs on July
25, 2010. At the time, top U.S. national security officials accused
WikiLeaks of having “blood” on its hands. But several months later,
McClatchy reported that “U.S. officials concede that they have no
evidence to date that the documents led to anyone’s death.”
The government targeting of WikiLeaks nonetheless continued. In April
2011, Salon reported that a grand jury in Virginia was actively
investigating both the group and Assange on possible criminal charges
under espionage statutes relating to the publication of classified
documents. And in August of 2012, the Sydney Morning Herald, citing
secret Australian diplomatic cables, reported that “Australian
diplomats have no doubt the United States is still gunning for Julian
Assange” and that “Australia’s diplomatic service takes seriously the
likelihood that Assange will eventually be extradited to the US on
charges arising from WikiLeaks obtaining leaked US military and
diplomatic documents.”
Bringing criminal charges against WikiLeaks or Assange for publishing
classified documents would be highly controversial – especially since
the group partnered with newspapers like The Guardian and The New York
Times to make the war logs public. “The biggest challenge to the press
today is the threatened prosecution of WikiLeaks, and it’s absolutely
frightening,” James Goodale, who served as chief counsel of the Times
during its battle to publish The Pentagon Papers, told the Columbia
Journalism Review last March. “If you go after the WikiLeaks
criminally, you go after the Times. That’s the criminalization of the
whole process.”
In November 2013, The Washington Post, citing anonymous officials,
reported that the Justice Department strongly considered prosecuting
Assange, but concluded it “could not do so without also prosecuting
U.S. news organizations and journalists” who had partnered with
WikiLeaks to publish the documents. According to the Post, officials
“realized that they have what they described as a ‘New York Times
problem’” – namely, that any theory used to bring charges against
Assange would also result in criminal liability for the Times, The
Guardian, and other papers which also published secret documents
provided to WikiLeaks.

NSA proposals to target WikiLeaks
As the new NSA documents make clear, however, the U.S. government did
more than attempt to engineer the prosecution of Assange. NSA analysts
also considered designating WikiLeaks as a “malicious foreign actor”
for surveillance purposes – a move that would have significantly
expanded the agency’s ability to subject the group’s officials and
supporters to extensive surveillance.
Such a designation would allow WikiLeaks to be targeted with
surveillance without the use of “defeats” – an agency term for
technical mechanisms to shield the communications of U.S. persons from
getting caught in the dragnet.
That top-secret document – which summarizes a discussion between the
NSA’s Office of the General Counsel and the Oversight and Compliance
Office of the agency’s Threat Operations Center – spells out a
rationale for including American citizens in the surveillance:
“If the foreign IP is consistently associated with malicious cyber
activity against the U.S., so, tied to a foreign individual or
organization known to direct malicious activity our way, then there is
no need to defeat any to, from, or about U.S. Persons. This is based
on the description that one end of the communication would always be
this suspect foreign IP, and so therefore any U.S. Person communicant
would be incidental to the foreign intelligence task.”
In short, labeling WikiLeaks a “malicious foreign target” would mean
that anyone communicating with the organization for any reason –
including American citizens – could have their communications
subjected to government surveillance.
When NSA officials are asked in the document if WikiLeaks or Pirate
Bay could be designated as “malicious foreign actors,” the reply is
inconclusive: “Let us get back to you.” There is no indication of
whether either group was ever designated or targeted in such a way.
The NSA’s lawyers did, however, give the green light to subject other
activists to heightened surveillance. Asked if it would be permissible
to “target the foreign actors of a loosely coupled group of hackers …
such as with Anonymous,” the response is unequivocal: “As long as they
are foreign individuals outside of the US and do not hold dual
citizenship … then you are okay.”

NSA Lawyers: “It’s Nothing to Worry About”
Sanchez, the surveillance expert with the Cato Institute, says the
document serves as “a reminder that NSA essentially has carte blanche
to spy on non-Americans. In public statements, intelligence officials
always talk about spying on ‘terrorists,’ as if those are the only
targets — but Section 702 [of the 2008 FISA Amendments Act] doesn’t
say anything about ‘terrorists.’ They can authorize collection on any
‘persons reasonably believed to be [located] outside the United
States,’ with ‘persons’ including pretty much any kind of group not
‘substantially’ composed of Americans.”
Sanchez notes that while it makes sense to subject some full-scale
cyber-attacks to government surveillance, “it would make no sense to
lump together foreign cyberattackers with sites voluntarily visited by
enormous numbers of Americans, like Pirate Bay or WikiLeaks.”
Indeed, one entry in the NSA document expressly authorizes the
targeting of a “malicious” foreign server – offering Pirate Bay as a
specific example –“even if there is a possibility that U.S. persons
could be using it as well.” NSA officials agree that there is no need
to exclude Americans from the surveillance, suggesting only that the
agency’s spies “try to minimize” how many U.S. citizens are caught in
the dragnet.
Another entry even raises the possibility of using X-KEYSCORE, one of
the agency’s most comprehensive surveillance programs, to target
communications between two U.S.-based Internet addresses if they are
operating through a “proxy” being used for “malicious foreign
activity.” In response, the NSA’s Threat Operations Center approves
the targeting, but the agency’s general counsel requests “further
clarification before signing off.”
If WikiLeaks were improperly targeted, or if a U.S. citizen were swept
up in the NSA’s surveillance net without authorization, the agency’s
attitude seems to be one of indifference. According to the document –
which quotes a response by the NSA’s Office of General Counsel and the
oversight and compliance office of its Threat Operations Center –
discovering that an American has been selected for surveillance must
be mentioned in a quarterly report, “but it’s nothing to worry about.”
The attempt to target WikiLeaks and its broad network of supporters
drew sharp criticism from the group and its allies. “These documents
demonstrate that the political persecution of WikiLeaks is very much
alive,” says Baltasar Garzón, the Spanish former judge who now
represents the group. “The paradox is that Julian Assange and the
WikiLeaks organization are being treated as a threat instead of what
they are: a journalist and a media organization that are exercising
their fundamental right to receive and impart information in its
original form, free from omission and censorship, free from partisan
interests, free from economic or political pressure.”
For his part, Assange remains defiant. “The NSA and its U.K.
accomplices show no respect for the rule of law,” he told The
Intercept. “But there is a cost to conducting illicit actions against
a media organization.” Referring to a criminal complaint that the
group filed last year against “interference with our journalistic work
in Europe,” Assange warned that “no entity, including the NSA, should
be permitted to act against a journalist with impunity.”
Assange indicated that in light of the new documents, the group may
take further legal action.
“We have instructed our general counsel, Judge Baltasar Garzón, to
prepare the appropriate response,” he said. “The investigations into
attempts to interfere with WikiLeaks’ work will go wherever they need
to go. Make no mistake: those responsible will be held to account and
brought to justice.”

The information collection on every individual by secret services
starts at school, or perhaps even with your parents so then a file is
created on you at birth. This has been the policy for more than a few
decades. If you are an artist, journalist, actor, public servant,
member of any group or hold a position of interest then you will be
given special interest and filed under “Persons of Interest”.
Of course all communications by all individuals are collected at the
phone-line/cable, cellular tower, satellite or wireless radio
intercept. When you connect via a fixed connection this of course must
pass through communications hardware, the same with wireless radio,
which is all collected for later analysis and stored. There are ways
to encrypt communications and anonymously connect to wireless networks
while “spoofing” your MAC address, but it takes some amount of
technical skill and nothing is fool proof with many weaknesses being
easily exploitable by a very well  funded and resourced collection of
collaborating “intelligence services”.
A large part of surveillance policy is creating a climate of fear
where it is hoped you will say and do nothing. The idea that you can
stick your head in the sand and the lions won’t see you maybe a Fool’s
Paradise, and it certainly won’t help you. The only way you can hope
to help yourself and your community is to speak out and demand change
to oppressive laws. Today you might be protesting your right to
demonstration and free speech without arbitrary detention, tomorrow
you might be demonstrating against firing squads or perhaps cowering
beneath your bed. Ask yourself is this the way you want to live and
what is in store for future generations? Of course they can’t lock up
half the population if they all start speaking out, they don’t have
enough prisons and detention camps yet.  You might argue that you
haven’t done anything wrong and have nothing to worry about, but many
people who have done the right thing or nothing wrong get locked up,
 as profiling, analytics and the law don’t deal with “right” or
“wrong”, just the cold hard black and white of legislation and a
government lawyer’s interpretation of what can be defined as “in the
public interest”.

Australian secret services have even more power than the NSA. Anyone
in Australia can be secretly detained for up to a week without charge,
while not being told why they are being held, without their lawyer and
family being told of their location, and legally obliged to answer
questions or face up to 2 years in prison. Originally one could be
secretly detained for up to two years.
Australians who support, have supported or visited Wikileaks are or
have been subject to surveillance. There is no bill of rights in
Australia and what little rights the citizens have are constantly
being eroded. Freedom of association and the right to protest are
being removed and freedom of the press. The scariest thing is that
most Australians are completely unaware of the powers of their police
and secret services, and just how few rights they actually have left.
Even worst is the problem that many Australians simply aren’t even
interested.

End mass spying now! Section 215 of the Patriot Act should not be used

“incidentally” or otherwise collect Americans’ emails, phone calls, or

To those concerned about Greenwald and The Intercept’s relationship
with Pierre Omidyar, given that he is the creator of ebay, which owns
Paypal, which cut off payments to wikileaks.
Glen Greenwald addresses that concern in his interview with VICE at
the link below, around 28:00. The whole thing is worth a watch. But
Greenwald says the paypal situation was a concern for him going into
this venture. He spoke with Omidyar about it, and it turns out at the
time he was not in any managerial capacity of ebay or paypal. He was
still the controlling shareholder though, spoke out through his
newspaper outlet in Hawaii, which editorialized against Paypal’s
decision. The criticism that he could’ve done more is reasonable
according to Greenwald. In addition though, he says that Omidyar has
been deeply affected by the recent revelations regarding privacy, and
taking into account that no one is perfect, he decided that Omidyar
was a person that could be worked with in a venture of this nature.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hoCPdLh_FiQ
Also I think it is important to note Greenwald’s continued insistence
on his editorial independence, which he has stressed throughout his
career with the guardian and salon. So even if you are of the mind
that Omidyar’s lack of more substantial action against Paypal is
inexcusable, he’s still only putting up money for Greenwald to
continue doing his journalism on his own terms. The other journalists
at the Intercept are all of high quality as well, and I think their
bodies of work demand enormous respect.

Dear citizens.
The Internet as we once new it is gone. Lost. Forever.
The sooner people realizes this the sooner we, the people, can start
up a “Darknet” and leave the sinking ship that is “Clearnet”. When a
majority of people realizes that a handful of corp. and some gov. Can
crash the ENTIRE WWW. (As we know it, a free Internet). Then we can
REALLY start to build up a new kind of network. One that govs. and
corps. cannot touch. (Not without WE seeing THEM first..).
So my suggestion is; Download TOR. That is where the new net is being
built. And it pisses the HELL out of bitch ass F.B.I, NSA and so on..
Why? They can have the entire WWW for padding eachother on the back
and try out new kewl SPY thingies! =)
There once was a man walking on a road. The Sun and the Wind decided
to see wich one of them that could get the mans jacket off first!
The Wind started blowing and blowing. It started to rain. But the more
the Wind blew or rained, the tighter the man pulled his jacket around
him. The Wind went furious! It started up and BLEW THE HARDEST IT
COULD! But.. The harder it blew, the more the man tried to crawl into
his jacket.
The Sun on the other hand just started to shine. Warmer and warmer
until the man willingly took of his jacket.
That is a childrens story but is VERY essential today. The Wind is
NSA, FBI and so on.. The people and the freedom fighters is the sun.
Goverments and corps. Cannot win if we don’t let them. Simple! We LET
them invade us. We were to ignorant, the first time.. But no matter
how hard the blow (and they sure blow!) we will NEVER take our jacket
‘o freedom of again. So why not join us? I am talking about join the
fight agaist mass survalliance! (Talk about it, debate it, tweet it..
NEVER let it die. NEVER forgett. NEVER AGAIN!
(Just say “Yeah. I don’t fucking care about those “toy-company’s”
anymore.. They cannot hurt me. And they will never know all my “Net
persona’s”. So I say: Bring it! ( LULZ!)
(Oh yeah! One little, small thing. I wonder if the US gov remembers
the ultimatum Anonymous put last year.. “It is up to you. Choose to
stop with what you already know is wrong. And by that bring ORDER (i
e: Leave us the hell alone u fucks!) OR WE WILL BRING CHAOS. On a
scale so large you can’t even begin too imagine.. Remember this too.
If you happens to be an Agent of some sorts.. Never forget that there
are Anonymous everywhere, don’t think for a second that YOUR agency is
safe from “Freedom terrorists”. It is not. Snowden is just one out of
thousands like him.. Agreeing with the Anonymous idea and just biding
their time. Gathering info. Sitting silently, waiting.. Perhaps in the
cubicle next to yours even. So in that regard WE, the ordinary people,
have nothing to fear! (As long as the proper integrity protection is
installed..). The governments and their agencies on the other hand,
should be (and ARE) VERY VERY worried. “A Global
 resistance movement without a leader or a center?” “WTF do we do
know!?” (You do what WE pay you to. NOTHING MORE. TOTAL FUCKING
TRANSPARENCY, it is OUR money you spy with! Bastards!)
Wasn’t it “Bachman Turner Overdrive” who sung;
“You ain’t seen nothing yet, B-B-Baby you just ain’t seen no-nothing
yet. Here is something that you´ll never ever forget! You just ain’t
seen nothing yet!”

Originally sponsored by the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory,[11] which
had been instrumental in the early development of onion routing under
the aegis of DARPA, Tor was financially supported by the Electronic
Frontier Foundation from 2004 to 2005.[13] Tor software is now
developed by the Tor Project, which has been a 501(c)(3)
research-education nonprofit organization [14] based in the United
States of America [1] since December 2006. It has a diverse base of
financial support;[13] the U.S. State Department, the Broadcasting
Board of Governors, and the National Science Foundation are major
contributors.[15] As of 2012, 80% of the Tor Project’s $2M annual
budget comes from the United States government, with the Swedish

I’m amazed that people are claiming that they didn’t know the depths
of the surveillance state. There were many whistleblowers before
Snowden telling us just that, yet strangely enough they were not
instantly plastered over the mainstream media. That should tell you
something right there.
So, when exactly does the public get access to these 1 million
documents? Or does Mr. Greenwald, Jeff Bezos, David Miranda, Laura
Poitras and Pierre Omidyar have carte blanche over this enormous cache
of data?
Frankly, if there was anything remotely NEW in these documents then
you can bet your dollar that none of this would ever have happened.
That’s not paranoia I’m afraid, that’s simply reality.
Sorry to rain on the parade but there’s something very wrong with this
whole picture.  But please, anyone, feel free to put me right since
I’ve been a supporter of Mr. Greenwald for a long time and don’t like
to think that money, career and kudos has taken over. But there are so
many things that don’t add up I’m forced to review the whole scenario
again. And I think as journalists we are obliged to do so, however
unpalatable that may be.

First of all, this idea that there are somehow “1 million documents”
released by Snowden was manufactured by the US and UK government.
They have continuously proven in public speeches and press releases
they have absolutely no idea what or how many documents were actually
released to journalists.  Second, releasing every single document all
at once leads to unnecessary mistakes that could lead to publishing
damaging information that doesn’t add anything to the story or
dialogue on these issues.  Third, releasing everything at once in one
huge datadump basically ensures that people will forget about it as
quickly as they were released, so the continual stream of articles
allows the story to continue, building up over time.  This is
journalism 101, and is brilliant.  It also allows for government
officials to respond to allegations made in the articles, and since
they have pretty much been lying out of their asses about everything
so far, allows the
 people to know that they ARE lying because the next document that is
released usually explains just that.  Lastly, it allows the
conversation to continue, because each document/article released adds
to the conversation and allows the journalists to dictate the public
debate with more and more information while not overwhelming everybody
at one time with massive amounts of information.  So really people
like you should just back off and if you are really so worried about
all of this, do something about it.  Go protest in the streets, start
sending around petitions to be signed or call your representatives
non-stop until something gets done.  Yes there were whistleblowers
before Snowden, but they were silenced before the whole story was out,
and the Government controlled the flow of information, which is what
makes Snowden’s revelations that much more powerful, because they no
longer control the dialogue or flow of information.

Assange over the group’s publication of the Afghanistan war logs.”

Your standards of evidence are piss-poor if you think an image on the
internet is evidence of the existence of a classified document.
I read the entire article– why the hell do you think I am so angry at
the authors? They’ve been publishing nothing but horribly cited
articles that are reeking with an agenda ever since this website was
released. 50% of their sources are fucking opinion pieces from
jerk-off mainstream liberal news organizations (who in turn, fail to
cite their sources too), 25% are pngs, and 25% is testimony from
anonymous ‘whistleblowers’ whom apparently only the brilliant,
resourceful, and highly intelligent journalists at The Intercept were
able to get a hold of.
I go on these rants because these moron readers lap this shit up
without thinking twice about how well the authors actually backed up
their claims. My god, if this article was submitted to a scientific
journal, they would get laughed at. Hell, even the Journal of
BIO-Complexity would reject it.
You’re right– mainstream media doesn’t cite their sources either, and

Like you, I don’t know for sure if Snowden/Glenn has the source

The following was published at the time (August 2010) and provides
some background on Glenn’s assertion.  Although this article, like
Glenn’s, does not show the actual document, it does cite US officials
(multiple sources).  Here is the first part of the article:
U.S. Urges Allies To Crack Down On WikiLeaks
By Philip Shenon
12 August, 2010
Daily Beast
The Obama administration is pressing Britain, Germany, Australia, and
other allied Western governments to consider opening criminal
investigations of WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange and to severely
limit his nomadic travels across international borders, American
officials say.
Officials tell The Daily Beast that the U.S. effort reflects a growing
belief that WikiLeaks and organizations like it threaten grave damage
to American national security, as well as a growing suspicion in
Washington that Assange has damaged his own standing with foreign
governments and organizations that might otherwise be sympathetic to
his anti-censorship cause.
American officials confirmed last month that the Justice Department
was weighing a range of criminal charges against Assange and others as
a result of the massive leaking of classified U.S. military reports
from the war in Afghanistan, including potential violations of the
Espionage Act by Bradley Manning, the Army intelligence analyst in
Iraq accused of providing the documents to WikiLeaks
Now, the officials say, they want other foreign governments to
consider the same sorts of criminal charges.
FYI, Philip Shenon, the author, is a former investigative reporter at
the New York Times (NYT).

Other than Truthout, FDL and a few other websites, this hugely

In the 1960s we didn’t just go to the streets, we signed statements
saying if we had been born male we would go to jail to resist the
draft, signed other complicity statements, and waved at the FBI goons
taking photos of us.  We knew we were on lists but we felt in the end
our rights would probably protect us.  The difference now is that the
government seems to feel they have the right to kill those they don’t
agree with – the Constitution has been torn up – even by our President
and Congress.  It really feels like we are in end times and everyone
will have choose very soon whether to go down fighting or not.  I
spent my life teaching school and working in non-profits and in state
and local government.  I wanted to make the world a better place.  I
was very naive.  Now, I am in my late 60s and think about how death is
closer every day. As I read what the US and British governments are
doing, I am feeling like I’d like to make sure my life and
 death aren’t wasted.  I am starting to think carefully about how best
to ‘spend’ my remaining life in a way that might count for something.
Hope you are too.  Thank you Edward Snowden, Glenn Greenwald, Julian
Assange, and all the others who have had the strength of character to
choose already.  Many of us are taking a bit longer, but we will
probably get there very soon.

So how does this work – Glenn Greenwald is partnered with Pierre
Omidyar whose PayPal organization has extrajudicially blocked payments
to Wikileaks to help cripple Wikileaks:
“…The banking blockade against WikiLeaks is one of the most sinister
developments in recent years, and perhaps the most extreme example in
a western democracy of extrajudicial actions aimed at stifling free
speech – made all the worse by the public support of numerous people
sitting in the US House of Representatives….
…Visa, Mastercard and Paypal are none-too-choosy about who they
provide payment services for. Want to use your credit card to donate
to the Ku Klux Klan? Go right ahead. Prefer to support the English
Defence League? Paypal will happily sort you out. Prefer to give cash
to Americans for Truth about Homosexuality, who oppose the “radical
homosexual agenda”? Feel free to use your Visa, Mastercard or Paypal.
Visa and Mastercard are already inescapable. As the world becomes
ever-more digital, and cash continues its journey to obsolescence,
they will become still more pervasive. If they are allowed to cut off
payment to lawful organisations with whom they disagree, the US’s
first amendment, the European convention on human rights’ article 10,
and all other legal free speech protections become irrelevant….”

You understand the serious and undemocratic ramifications of those who

The desire for wealth, fame, and power are the primary impetuses for
those whose worldview is purely materialistic. History has clearly
demonstrated that material ends in a capitalist society are best
achieved by donning a mantle of enlightened self interest. It is for
this reason that we should be especially wary of those who claim to be
serving the common good while simultaneously enriching themselves at
its expense. It is clear that Glenn Greenwald has no problem with
capitalism. He has devoutly defended corporate personhood. He has
worked for a law firm that represented the likes of Goldman Sachs et
al. He even published porn for a time. Profiting from the Snowden
revelations have been justified by comparing himself to those who have
made a career out of generating obfuscating euphemisms for America’s
servile political class. Glenn Greedwald’s public adulation of Pierre
Omidyar is very much in character with the American way.

Paypal and others did was a concern for Greenwald and he addressed it
while they were speaking about the venture of FLM. Omidyar was not in
a managerial capacity at ebay or paypal at the time, and did speak out
about the decision through his news outlet in Hawaii, which
editorialized against the decision.  Greenwald acknowledges that the
criticism that he should’ve done more is a reasonable one. But he also
assers that he knows Omidyar has been affected by recent revalations
regarding privacy.

Also I think it is important to note Greenwald’s continued insistence
on his editorial independence, which he has stressed throughout his
career with the guardian and salon. So even if you are of the mind
that Omidyar’s lack of more substantial action against Paypal is
inexcusable, he’s still only putting up money for Greenwald to
continue doing his journalism on his own terms.

Others—as most legislators, politicians, lawyers, ministers, and

rarely make any moral distinctions, they are as likely to serve the
devil, without intending it, as God. A very few—as heroes, patriots,

Now that those who report on national security issues have been
targeted by the nsa and gchq, presumably as providing “support” for
terrorists,  it seems likely that it will only be a matter of time
before those who provide support for the reporters will be targeted
for the same reason and with the same degree of justification.
The problem is that for the nsa, there is probably nothing that should
be out of bounds:   if it can be done, it should be done.  After all,
they are engaged in the patriotic duty of protecting their country
(countries).  But particularly for the US, where citizenship is based
upon a creed (see the Declaration of Independence and Constitution),
the undermining of the principles of this creed are attacks on the
homeland.  What makes the U.S. a nation is what binds the people
together, not the land on which they stand.  This means that the more
those bonds of connectedness are frayed the weaker our national
spirit.  Until the only people who truly consider themselves Americans
are white supremacists.

Thank you for great articles and journalism so far! I am impressed and
cheering for the people at theintercept.
It is scary that a few people in given countries, can act against all
citizens off the world including their own, and that they deem it not
only right – but the only solution.
But the only solution to what?!? We now know that this surveillance
has nothing to do with terrorism, it has nothing to do with war or
such atrocities. Instead, it has to do with control, control of the
population, control of the masses and utter control of “friendly”
countries. While unfriendly countries are not controlled by such
means!
Therefore, it is I and you and the rest they demand control over. And
they get mad and threatening if we want to even discuss the issue, it
might ruin their dictatorship.
The tragedy in all of this is that people actually believe the
criminals when they say that all is done to protect the population.
We are the ones in need of protection now, protection from our own
politicians, crooked spies and their utterly criminal bosses.
I am still positive though, that the lambs as we should call ourselves
will condemn the NSA and their likes in not too many years. They will
go down in history as some of the worst citizens, as enemies of the
state and their actions will be banned. We just (unfortunately) need
for several more innocent people to be detained and mistreated by the
NSA, the brits or aussies and the rest of the criminals.
I remember reading about a journalist who was killed by a kingpin in
Ireland not too long ago, where the people found out that enough is
enough, and gathered against him and his organization. They voted for
a change in the law, and they were so able to detain and prosecute
him.
We want the same to happen to Keith Alexander and his friends, with
the ones giving the orders to break the law!
However, most of all they have ruined the little faith some had in
government and lawmakers… they have turned many of their own against
their country and that is never good.
I see no point in helping criminals like the NSA, I am actually quite
sure that it is illegal to help someone or something commit a crime.
And that is how the tele and IT companies should have reacted long
ago.

One of my mother’s sisters married a gent back in the 1950s whose
entire working career was spent with NSA at the Ft. Meade. He was a
strange sort of a guy with an even weirder personality or more
correctly the lack of one. His natural proclivity was to assume that
he was some sort of genius and that everyone else just an absolute
dope. You could call this an attitude of almost absolute and total
arrogance that I naturally linked to his Germanic ancestry. He would
have been the most absolutely perfect Nazi. He was a cryptologist by
training but gradually (I think) rose to a mid level management
position that required extensive travel to Germany, Japan, and the UK.
He loved the Germans and Japanese but hated the British continually
referring to them in his arrogant and supercilious and condescending
manner as “stupid people”, i.e. not at all up to the high standards of
the great vaunted “master race”; as an anglophile of sorts that in
particular
 pissed me off quite a bit at the time these remarks were uttered.
I have to say that over the years however I began to have some genuine
affection for this person (my uncle) because I could see that he was a
truly fucked and hurting person from a psychological perspective and
did indeed have a caring and decent side to his personality that was
seriously atrophied by the dominant aspects of his personality or what
was in fact the lack of one.
This guy no doubt passed the psychological exam with flying colors and
that in and of itself should say something about the personality types
that NSA hires and desires. The strong silent male who refuses to
question authority because he just assumes that no one has a right to
any anyone who would is a disloyal American. Such an authoritarian
personality type identifies personally with the social authority. This
is what insures his love, devotion, and loyalty no matter what the
cost may be to others.
Since my family has a history here in America that predates the
signing of the Declaration of Independence, I have always assumed (and
I think correctly) that I know something about being and American and
what good citizenship has always been about.
We are indeed living through a sad time for America as we see the
classic values of the European enlightenment that became the basis of
our founding documents dragged through the gutter by the arrogance and
hubris of a ruling class and its national security state that sees
itself above the law and accountable to no one. They even use religion
to buttress their inflated claims and are in fact trying to return us
to a medievil perspective that the Enlightenment was meant to dispel.
The truth is strong medicine but the American people need to swallow
it if we are to survive and prosper as a nation that honors the law
and the founding principles of our nation. These agencies such as NSA
and the rest of the national security state or what some experts have
called the “deep state” are in fact criminal organizations that will
at some point have to be held accountable for the harm that they have
caused to millions of innocent people all over the world.
I still have a cousin who lives in Croften, MD the same MD subburb
outside of DC that Edward Snowden grew up in. There seems to be a lot
of suggestions being made these days that Edward Snowden did not act
solely on his own but had help from others. I would like to think that
that was the case but I sincerely doubt it.  I would like to think
that perhaps that some of the NSA types whose conscience may be
bothering them a bit and keeping them up at night may decide to join
the struggle on the side of the good guys for a change. It is just
wishful thinking, I suspect!
One of my cousins from that marriage married into the family of former
US VP Dan Quayle and were fetted at the White House back in the days
of Bush, Sr.
I have been banished and anathamatized by my family for having a mind
to think for myself and rejecting the idea that being a good America
means always telling oneself that Big Brother knows best. We should
have questioned the assumed authority of the national security state a
long, long time ago before things got to this point.
All that being said, it is still not too late and every great
adventure begin with just one small first step.

Assange, a man who has the best intentions in his publishing,. Assange
is a person against terrorism, and he explains this many times in his

him besieged without charges and without the possibility to defend
himself in freedom. Atention! I say to the biggest power christian

So how long will it take them to also target independent sites such as
this one. Or to phrase it in another way: How long will it take for
the US to make people worried that they might actually have read the
wrong version of the truth?
As my favorite author writes “Censorship was never about morality, it
was about fear. If a people wanted to hide something, it was because
that was where you could kick them and make it hurt the hardest. Only
a very scared people tried to hide information of any sort”

surveil thousands of innocent citizens and how you and I pay for it.
They do this to their own people that finacially support them.

Further, the collection of IPs is significant. Both the NSA and GCHQ
have all sorts of metadata databases, which can link IPs to your
various online identities, accounts you use in your cellphone, etc.

The article indeed does not state that I.P. addresses are (equivalent
to) photo ID.  It does, however, state  that “The IP addresses
collected by GCHQ are used to identify individual computers that
connect to the Internet, and can be traced back to specific people if
the IP address has not been masked using an anonymity service.”
This statement is equally an incorrect one, as it is impossible in
most cases to associate an IP address uniquely with a person even when
an anonymizing service such as Tor is not used.  The best that can be
done is to associate an IP address with a specific computer – which in
itself cannot identify the person using the computer at a given time.
- for those who do not have a fixed IP address, additional queries
(requiring subpoena or warrant in the U.S.) would be needed to provide
account information to associate one or more people with the IP
address.  If there were more than one person in the household it would
be impossible to tell which one used the IP address at any given time.
If, in addition, the location had a WiFi router, it would be
impossible to show that a particular connection was not used by a
neighbor or passerby.*
- Public WiFi access points normally use a single IP address for all
active customers.  That would make it extremely difficult if not
impossible to determine which of the customers at a particular time
were using it to access a particular URL.*  For those who are truly
interested in anonymity, there are ways to change the network device
ID.
*Depending on the amount of logging done (and retained) it might be
technically possible to narrow identity, in some cases possibly to a
single individual.  In the U. S., at least, that would require a
warrant and either physical or network access to one or more privately
owned computers.  Even if done without a warrant, as we know to be
technically within NSA and FBI capabilities, it is time consuming and
costly, and not a thing either agency would do casually.

warrants are needed in the USA. I have a feeling that here they are
not – our legislators seem to be even more gung-ho in legislating away
privacy than the US ones, probably because we don’t actually have a

The fact that Wikileaks and other transparency and truthseeking orgs
are targeted should not be surprising to anyone – what surprises me is
the fact that there are so few people in the US willing to even
conceptualize or show interest in the truth if that behavior.  A
people,  refusing to look out from under the covers pulled tightly
over their head…fearing things that go bump in the night,  allowing
their personal freedom and civil rights, not to mention human dignity,
to be yanked away.
We have become a culture of personality instead of truth – focusing on
projected personae of everyone at the end of a pointed finger (look
over there!  Hey…look at that guy – he ran to Russia!) instead of the
behavior of those we place at the high reaches of government and the
corporations that own them.  Sadly, we will continue to replay the
Fall of Rome in our exceptionalist hubris and denial behavior…
Even this 60 yr old woman with a big mouth and little tolerance for
bullshit – the only threat I pose is always seeking and and trying to
speak what I can find to be truth –  went through a full body search
the last time I flew to NYC (10 TSA agents swarming my tiny frame and
single bag was a real spectacle to behold…much giggling ensued,  which
pissed off a few)…when it hits me, it really smacks of their obtuse
desperation….But then, if they spend their time and resources on me,
that is less time and resources to spend on stopping important truth
from coming out… non-computer/system “DDOSing” the tiny minded greedy
fools until their heads explode…

Wow this article reassures everything I’ve thought so far about the
NSA and GCHQ when they claim over and over these programs are used to
protect the people….I am tempted to burst out laughing each time. Its
so obvious that these programs main priority is to protect the people
in power and keep them in power. In addition when an organization or
group challenges the establishments on either side of the Atlantic;
they will use these surveillance programs to discredit the challengers
first and then in the process destroy them. This is what I’ve
personally feared since these revelations came to light. I heard a
quote the other day that came from someone a lot smarter than me but
the jist of it was the people in these positions to call the shots and
that pull the strings will not willfully give up this power and will
practically do anything to protect it and the best way to do that is
to discredit the challenger who most always trying to bring the truth
 to light, its the most effective way to shut them down. I am very
compassionate about voicing my displeasure with the agencies running
domestic surveillance programs and I pledge my support to right this
wrong and fight this injustice as I fear these programs are used for
much darker purposes than what we currently know from the Ed Snowden
revelations.

Either they are complicit, and like the government embarrassed about
getting caught, or they have a few guns at their backs.   Since most
of our news outlets are beholding to telephony for distribution, makes
you wonder if the telecoms and providers aren’t making threats, too.
If Obama’s email was found to be missing its content in the business
end of a media exec’s BlackBerry taken by police for examination in a
criminal investigation, would that strike you as Nixionian?  Missing
taped statements = missing email content?
That’s David Cameron’s problem, but he’s got the UK press hogtied so they can’t
squeal on him.  But WE can.  YES WE CAM!  Yet, no media outlet in the
US is willing to tattle.  So it’s not just US, it’s a global response,
or lack there of, by the Five Eyed spooks and their entangled allies.
Remember, that BlackBerry belonged to the CEO of the UK’s largest
media operator, so it can easily be accomplished, this nexus of media
and government.  At the time the email was sent by Cameron, his and
her professional worlds were coming apart at the seams due to illegal
intrusions upon the public by the PRESS!
I expect I’m on GCHQ stink list because I’ve been saying for years the
UK police were hiding more than their cozy relationships with media
when the hacking evidence they suppressed was revealed.  And now we
can see they covered it up for five year because they feared it might
reveal that THEY are dirty hacks, too!!
What I want to know is what other executives have such tight relations
with our presidents and  David Cameron or his predecessors that the
emails in their phones can have the content squeezed out of them.
That is NOT a concern for law enforcement?  Sounds like evidence
tampering to me!  I’m sure once addressed, Cameron will claim national
security.  Either GCHQ did that trick or someone outside the spook
force.
That email sounds like a Tempora metadata file of its former self to me.

It was a BRIBE from the guys who installed the Secretary in that seat

The NYTs publisher had told those same GUYS that the news from Denver

“The Central Intelligence Agency owns everyone of any significance in
the major media.” -William Colby, former CIA Director, cited by Dave
McGowan in “Derailing Democracy“
“There is quite an incredible spread of relationships. You don’t need
to manipulate Time magazine, for example, because there are [Central
Intelligence] Agency people at the management level.” -William B.
Bader, former CIA intelligence officer, briefing members of the Senate
Intelligence Committee, From ‘CIA and the Media’, by Carl Bernstein
“The Agency’s relationship with [The New York] Times was by far its
most valuable among newspapers, according to CIA officials. [It was]
general Times policy … to provide assistance to the CIA whenever
possible.” -CIA and the Media by Carl Bernstein
Media has long been a target of ‘information operations’ by
intelligence, in a way this is ‘much ado about nothing’, when
considering the by far larger problem of so-called ‘mainstream media’
having been long since co-opted, because it is the ‘mainstream’

instances of them. Some of my personal work files have disappeared

arrived the same time as me when I travel, even when we travel as a

There is one avenue of peace we’ve yet to broadcast and try, tax holiday.
That is we, the pay master to this the criminal enterprise doing
business as the United Staes of America Corp. can legally file
extensions ad nausium in an all out effort to starve the beast.
More than likely this will lead to a massive stimulus by the FED,
which will result in a Whimar Republic type scenario here in the
States, and likely world wide as our economy drives the worlds
economy.
Additionally, consumers must take make a converted effort to vote with
their wallets, a simple boycott of any corporate sponsor of groups
like the Council on Foreign Relations ( being arrogant they provide a
nice alphabetized list for us )  can have an immeasurable impact upon
the pockets of the erudite Elite leading this effort in a global
electronic prision that impacts all of us daily.
It’s time to hit them where the hurt, in there greedy little pockets.
If this fails, hit them in their greedy little faces too.
And lest we forget let us do all we do with greatest care and due
diligence, for not all those who are wealthy are wicked, and not all
who are poor good. It is paramount that our moral standard be beyond
reproach in this matter, for the common man has no more interst in
following after our thug than to follow after theirs, and without the

This entire senario is reminiscent of the McCarthy era of the 1950s
when the threat of “communism” was used as an excuse to investigate,
harass, interrogate and subjugate American citizens.  The “Patriot
Act,” a legislative action that was pushed through in the panicked
aftermath of 9/11 was an open door to abuse of power by the NSA and
other government entities, allowing for vast violations of the basic
rights the Constitution was written to protect.  I call for a repeal
of the so-called “Patriot Act,” and the similar legislative acts that
followed like sequels to an already bad movie.

beat, taze and kill people with almost always no consequences and the
US government hadn’t passed the NDAA and couldn’t disappear you

Glenn’s comment section has always been characterized as a place of

On the contrary! Many, from left and right, disagree w/ Greenwald on
all manner of bases, and he does engage them on Twitter.
My observation is merely that almost none of these many seem to be
commenting here. It could be a by-product of the commenting software,
which seems to cause comments to show up rather a long time after they
are submitted.
But whatever the issue, I don’t see that Greenwald has “lost his

As a first step, email the White House and your Representatives today.
I did and here is what I said:
“Appoint a special prosecutor to investigate the extent of the NSA’s
criminal activity against the media, including WikiLeaks, its staff,
its associates and its supporters
Today it was reported:
“The internal government documents, including slides of presentations
given at an annual top secret surveillance conference between the two
countries and internal agency correspondence, expose how the
government targeted not only Wikileaks and its spirited leader Julian
Assange, but also those people all over the world—including U.S. and
British citizens—who may have accessed or viewed the public website”
(“Docs Show NSA Targeted Wikileaks, Assange Vows Legal Fight,” Jon
Queally, Common Dreams, February 18, 2014.
I am one of those people who has visited the WikiLeaks site.  I am
also a loyal American citizen and a conscientious voter.
Not only that! But – and here is a BIG secret! I wrote to the
Ecuadoran Embassy to thank the country of Ecuador for giving Julian
Assange asylum.
You may save taxpayer money by taking my name and address and other
details down now from me – I give them to you freely.
My varied and numerous back emails do show my correspondence not only
with the Ecuadorean Embassy but also others – say those who are
supporting Edward Snowden or Chelsea Manning.  I have many.  They may
take me a while to look up and email to you so in this case you may
want to go to the NSA which, I am sure, because I am a lowly, poor,
honest, true-blue American who would never plot anything ill for my
countrymen or wish harm to my fellow world citizens, has all of my
emails and a record of my freedom of speech activities back to the
beginning of my birth (1952 – a very solid McCarthy year).
P.S. I use a Verizon cell phone so you should be able to find out
where I am at all times of the day or night.  You can ask the NSA or
James Clapper about that.
I am sorry that, as Queen Elizabeth once remarked, it is still not
that easy to open a window onto a person’s soul.  But even though you
can’t read my mind you can just ask me.  “What You See Is What You
Get” where I am concerned.  Too bad that isn’t the case with 99% of
our elected and appointed officialdom, our corporate robber barons or
our corporate controlled media. “

Thank you for noting this, coram. The language being used by DHS

A spokeswoman for DHS’s Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE)
stressed that the database “could only be accessed in conjunction with
ongoing criminal investigations or to locate wanted individuals.”
And, apparently, the main (translation = “only”) “lesson learned” from
the NSA experience is:
“It is important to note that this database would be run by a
commercial enterprise and the data would be collected and stored by
the commercial enterprise, not the government,” she said.

Anita didn’t.  The Biggest Disappointment in my voting life was voting
for Obama and then watch him renege on almost all of his pre-election
promises.  As a Senator and during his campaign, he was for
transparency, against war, for prosecuting war crimes, valued privacy
rights, and wanted to limit the expansion of the NSA.  As president,
he did the opposite.  For example, his administration has wrongly
prosecuted Whistleblowers and some journalists and allowed the NSA to
grow unchecked into a humongous  always watching, never sleeping

Documents Reveal Secret Nationwide Occupy Monitoring
Every repressive alphabet gov agency imaginable paid utmost attention
to Occupy. You think it was just happenstance that riot cops could be
seen all over the United States beating, shooting, bombing, arresting,
pepper spraying, destroying property, at Occupy gatherings month after
month after month?
Documents released show coordination between the FBI, Department of
Homeland Security and corporate America. They include a report by the
Domestic Security Alliance Council (DSAC), described by the federal
government as “a strategic partnership between the FBI, the Department
of Homeland Security and the private sector,” discussing the OWS
protests at the West Coast ports to “raise awareness concerning this
type of criminal activity.” The DSAC report shows the nature of secret
collaboration between American intelligence agencies and their
corporate clients – the document contains a “handling notice” that the
information is “meant for use primarily within the corporate security
community. Such messages shall not be released in either written or
oral form to the media, the general public or other personnel…” (The
DSAC document was also obtained by the Northern California ACLU which
has sought local FBI surveillance files.)

But privacy advocates question such assurances. “How could targeting
an entire website’s user base be necessary or proportionate?” says Gus
Hosein, executive director of the London-based human rights group
Privacy International. “These are innocent people who are turned into
suspects based on their reading habits. Surely becoming a target of a
state’s intelligence and security apparatus should require more than a
mere click on a link.”
>The agency’s covert targeting of WikiLeaks, Hosein adds, call into question the entire legal rationale underpinning the state’s system of surveillance. “We may be tempted to see GCHQ as a rogue agency, ungoverned in its use of unprecedented powers generated by new technologies,” he says. “But GCHQ’s actions are authorized by [government] ministers. The fact that ministers are ordering the monitoring of political interests of Internet users shows a systemic failure in the rule of law.”
The first bold is the right question to be asking and the latter bold
is the answer.

Since “The Pirate Bay” was mentioned in the discussions, this opens up
the possibility that NSA spying could easily be utilized as a tool to
protect US commercial interests who complain that their copyrights are
being infringed, but are unable to track the source of these leaks
(and prosecute the people responsible) due to proxies and VPNs being
used by many of the most active infringers to hide their location..

I apologize if I’ve failed to see this question asked prior – it’s a
long thread and I’m rather impatient at this point so here goes … Now
that we know, for sure, that whistleblower journalism/journalists
(and the websites that publish the evidence) are declared “malicious
foreign actors” and anyone who supports those sites by (I suppose)
commenting favorably, donates, or at the very least, merely visits
those sites, are deemed “the human network that supports” and
therefore qualified and subject to surveillance and monitoring  – - –
then am I correct in presuming that The Intercept also falls into that
category?  And that every one of my visits and positive commenting are
being bean-counted and can be used against me in a court of law (well,
a kangaroo court, really)?  – - – and am I also correct that, even if
the U.S. isn’t directly monitoring this/me/us that it stands to reason
to presume that one of the other
 Aryan/English-as-a-first-language/of-a-certain-religious-persuasion/Western/5-Eyes
countries is doing so anyway and that I/We/Us will be duly indicted
when the meta-data is turned over quid pro quo? (as in the latest
Australian/Indonesian/U.S. Attorney revelations)  It won’t change my
habits – not will it discourage my admiration for this website (in
fact, I think I love you guys a little more right now) – but I just
wanted to get a thermometer reading on this question.  Thank you for
the forum.

El B,
You said “Aryan/English”, the “5-eyes” are all r1b y-dna “majorities”.
r1b has nothing to do with being “white” or “aryan”, r1b was the last
to enter europe and didn’t participate at all in evolving “white”
genes, actually it seems like they turned them red if anything.  The
people who are actually responsible for evolving light pigmentation
genes never hurt anyone when you isolate their actual population and
phenotypical behavior.
They raped into Europe and took it over the same way they did to North
and South america and Australia.  The “slave owners”, “nazi’s”
“colonialists” had nothing to do with being white because they were
both over 75% r1b y-dna.  r1b isnt attributable to white.
Interestingly likewise most of their x-dna is still of the host
populations.

while i’m all for weeding out, isolating and denying propagation to

intense of social pressures (though it still looks like a pipe dream
for the most part), i don’t think your argument can resonate with
people who recognize supremacists of every level of
awareness/ignorance.  plenty of “r1b” folk could not give less of a
shit about actual genetic facts, but they’ll push hateful agendas all
the same based on their worthless understanding of a ‘majority’.
“actual” “whiteness” is only going to matter to a minuscule, academic
slice of those camps, and i’m betting the majority among that slice is
cynical enough to use the ignorant “r1b”s rather than insist on
absolute, ridiculous purity.

It’s not too hard to understand,
1. The root of every single population groups nightmare problems is
the exact same.
They’re intentionally preventing people from understanding it.
They’re using a stolen illegal intelligence apparatus to do it, as
well as to commit genocide right now with the lowest level of
awareness.
They’ve used torture research, terrorism and only illegal methods to
design intelligence so that it only benefits them and can only be used
by them.
They intentionally instigate problems all over the world, the
situation in Tibet, southern Caucusus, South America, Australia all
trace straight back to r1b intel apparatus.
Because of the particular differences in their behavior and the nature
of those differences me and every person whom isn’t them that I’ve
spoken to in my life unanimously conclude they’re the descendants of a
chromosomally retarded individual.
2.  Just take the intelligence apparatus away from them and assist
anyone else in doing so.
All they’re doing is hurting as many healthy people/animals/plants as they can.
Just hand all the intel over to non-r1b’s(and not people with
substantially related dna)
Start putting healthy unadulterated non-r1b related people into high
positions and relieve r1b related people from important positions etc.
It’s common sense.  They don’t have a right to use any of it and
they’ve stolen everything they have so just take it away.
If we all look at the situation carefully we’ll realize that everyone
generally gets along acceptably except r1b’s and they try to conceal
that.
The eskimos get along fine with the Africans, The brother and sister
Asians get along fine with the healthy europeans and indians, The
aborigines, middle easterners Africans get along with the healthy
europeans and asians and indians and mexicans etc etc etc.
The only people at all that have a situation are r1b related individuals.
It’s not an easy subject to discuss, It’s the truth, we all realize
it, just peacefully defuse the situation as fast and efficiently as
possible.
A side note: They’ve become a y-dna “voting majority” or plurality
(directly from genocide and illegal means) on almost every continent
in the world, It’s probably not the best idea to be so blindly
fanatical about spreading “democracy” which they’re only doing because
it’s based on “majority” votes of which they’re using their
intelligence apparatus to control the narrative and outcome of to
begin with.
We don’t need “the government” to tell us “what to do” or “what’s
legal” (maybe they do), it’s always just common sense to everyone
else. we all just know what’s right and whats wrong.  We have a much
better, healthy, natural non-r1b system ourselves.
They lie about every single thing every single time, so it doesn’t
matter what insane things they devise to tell you or what they use
their stolen technology to force you to think, it’s not real and it
doesn’t matter,  just take it away from them, it’s not theirs it’s
ours.
I should also note that they repeatedly viciously torture my brains to
pieces here in the usa, so i’m extremely  ill from it and not exactly
in my clearest frame of mind at all; so it’s possible that they’re
forcing me to write some of this or using it in some way and it’s
certainly not my best writing.  It’s not my natural language and I
wouldn’t even be here at all if they weren’t illegally forcing me to
stay here with countless open Human Rights, Civil Rights,
Constitutional Rights violations including repeated open limitless
torture, rape, poisoning, mutilation, theft, etc etc etc etc etc etc.

How do you effectively fight back against a force that targets you
from 1000s of miles away and which hides in plain sight?
You can do things they show they do not like — for example staying
informed about their darker sides.
You can show the illogic in their arguements — which this article does superbly.
You can be an American who does the unthinkable and learns world
geography so they can’t confuse you about Iraq and Afghanstan — but
that doesn’t change that their ongoing aim is to misinform everybody.
You can change alot of things you do so that you feed into their
system less and less — but the system really does exist independent of
you and so you do little more than slow it down a bit.
You can win temporary battles — like recently in Egypt where a hated
dictator was ousted.  But in time they replace him with somebody whose
only difference is his name.
How do we really manage to act to change how this system works (by no
longer allowing them to rule us) and let all the good parts of people
shine instead of having us be continually manipulated into being
selfish and greedy just like them?
Here’s to the hope that somebody somewhere somehow will find a good
answer to this question.

The work and voices of fearless investigative reporters,
whistleblowers ,Human Rights Activists, and the voice of the people
through movements like Anonymous are all peacefully protesting right
now., and it provides hope. Collectively everyone has a right to a
voice in this important debate concerning mass surveillance, and
Edward Snowden deserves the highest possible award for his revelations
.He is not a spy or a traitor, and the publicized threats against him
are unjust, and unacceptable. Hopefully, all of the revelations,
public debate, and protesting will make Governments become more
accountable, and force them to reign back press and Internet
censorship and the” over reach” of their mass surveillance programs.
Censorship of the Internet, and mass surveillance is a huge threat to
journalism, as journalists will not be able to protect their sources.
I believe that our Governments have let us down through their mass
surveillance activities, which
 their own watchdogs have ruled as unlawful. They have acted as
dictatorships, and failed to respect their electorates or democracy or
fundamental Human Rights. Together our voice is bigger and louder than
theirs, and we need to continue to collectively stand together, back
to back, to peacefully protest against all of this. Using  social
media, video messages, Facebook sharing, and through posting of links
to information. Governments cannot  silence the voice of everyone, and
they will become  scared that anything they do which is illegal or
corrupt will be at risk of being exposed. This will force them to
adopt higher standards in Governments across all of their agencies. I
for one, do not want to live in a World which is Orwellian, where
cameras are watching every movement and where everything I say and do
on the Internet is being spied upon, and captured and used for
analytical purposes,.We need to ensure that misuse of surveillance
stops now ! Our
 Governments have said that this is all needed for anti-terrorism, yet
 we have seen reports that it is also being used for commercial
purposes, and  for spying on ordinary people and on those that expose
Government wrong-doing. This is wrong and not acceptable, and we
should consider why the NSA and GCHQ failed to prevent 911 and the
Oklahoma bombing with this mass surveillance technology? It is the
Governments of the USA and UK that terrorise me more now than anyone
right now, and its become clear to me that as people we deserve
better.

Mister, your comment speaks for me also. Today, here and on Democracy
Now, we hear of the NSA/GCHQ as tools of government acting in ways
historically associated with gestapo and stazi. That any of us might
think this way is likely dismissed by Clapper et al as nonsense and
over-reaction, but they seem unaware of the chilling effect of these
repressive, McCarthyistic behaviors. The governments and Mr. Clapper
have a tremendous credibility problem. They want to sound honorable,
but their behaviors show intimidation, threat, deceit, and ineptitude.
It’s hard not to conclude that of course all of us on these websites
are also in NSA’s sights, and their massive program has two major
purposes: a) intimidation; b) collection of data to assist future
repressive activities. We did not miss Justice Scalia’s remark last
week that internment camps may be used once again. Where is the clear,
cogent, compelling government argument to dispel  these alarms and
 anxieties?

If the U.S. decides you are someone who should be targeted for
surveillance, is it reasonable to think the NSA could mimic the cell
numbers of known terrorists and call you (the target) from those
numbers thus creating a metadata record that you have “been in
contact” with terrorist phones?
Even if they only hang up, there is a record of the call being made.
Just an idea.

I am not a terrorist.  I am a supporter of free speech, Freedom of the
Press (guaranteed by the 1st Amendment), and transparency in
government.  As a financial contributor to Wikileaks and a frequent
visitor to their website, your article now confirms my suspicion that
I am being watched and tracked by the NSA and very likely now have all
my digital communications stored in various NSA databases and
accessible by 1000s of “unconstrained” NSA analysts.  I have not
visited Utah but I imagine all my digital communications, if not
already there, will soon be there along with the data of fellow
visitors and contributors to Wikileaks.  Since  I also contributed to
the defense funds for Julian Assange, Edward Snowden, and others, I
may take up more NSA storage space than my neighbors.  I also
contribute to Planned Parenthood, Wikipedia, the Sierra Club, Emily’s
List, American Foundation for Equal Rights, and other organizations,
and to the political
 campaigns of Elizabeth Warren, Bernie Sanders, Tammy Baldwin, and
half-a-dozen others who represent the average American and not the 1%
or the 10%.  These additional contributions and support probably mean
that I am getting my money’s worth as a taxpayer due to my likely
appearance in multiple NSA databases.
My father went off to war (WW II)  after I was born so I’ve been
around for awhile and have witnessed many changes in our government.
These latest developments, as revealed by Snowden, are not what I
expected from our government.  Our Constitution has and is being
violated in so many ways that I have lost count.  This is not the
America that I want passed on to my children and grandchildren.
I am still optimistic that the American people and world citizens can
stop this descent into the abyss of a mass surveillance state that is
so much worse than George Orwell could ever imagine.
Thanks to you. Glenn, Laura, Jerry, Julian, and other brave
journalists for keeping me informed.  I will do whatever I can to stop
these outrageous and criminal activities of the NSA, its supporters,
and others in our government.

“In 2008, not long after WikiLeaks was formed, the U.S. Army prepared
a report that identified the organization as an enemy, and plotted how
it could be destroyed.”
One thing which is commonly forgotten in 20-20 hindsight letters-pages
discussions of Wikileaks is what they were c. 2008.
Circa 2008 they had gained fame as a conduit for revelations in re the
wrong-doings of repressive regimes and private actors. E.g.
Uzbekistan, and a few internationally expansive companies. Wikileaks
was not THEN a famed conduit for revelations about western powers. The
nominal interests of the United States were not much threatened by
Wikileaks’ documented activities, c. 2008.
The “proactive” stance of our military intelligence agencies c. 2008
speaks to how significantly aligned our functional interests were then
with those of the Uzbekistans of this world.

inherently rejected by the citizenry (once we had the actual
documentation and proof)…..I’m also very pleased that at this point
many do not appear to be chilled. I think we owe that to the people
bringing us the info because their courage has solidified ours…..The
history of this type of government behavior is well documented and
compelling….I’m encouraged that many have not forgotten the lessons
learned.  Thank you all.

They can’t prosecute them for publishing the information because I, an
American taxpaying citizen, pursuant to the US Constitution and the
Bill of Rights have expressly authorized them to publish anything they
desire and I will be more than happy to be called as a witness in any
court, anywhere in the world, to testify to my unconditional consent
to allow them to publish everything.   So any time any government such

Well, it’s one thing to suspect something is happening, but another
thing entirely to have it confirmed. Now I suspect that websites that
have linked to WikiLeaks are also being monitored, including other
journalistic websites like Democracy Now!.
As a journalism major in college, I can’t help but be annoyed at how
it seems too few citizens actually care enough to effectively do
something about this. I mean, there was still plenty of evidence of
government corruption in 2012, yet voters reacted like nothing was
wrong, giving the parties in power (the Democrats and Republicans, of
course) 98% or so of the vote. There have been some small to moderate
sized protests, but there isn’t any sign that people are changing
their voting habits or protesting en masse. And there doesn’t seem to
be much of any sort of progress in Britain or the rest of the Five
ether. Perhaps one day many more people will wake up and finally do
something about all this.
A big thank you to all remaining decent journalists out there. Thank
you Glenn Greenwald, Jeremy Scahill, Ryan Gallagher, Laura Poitras,
Amy Goodman, and anyone else that prefers to be the Exception to the
Rulers instead of their mouthpiece. And an even bigger thank you to
the whistleblowers that risk their life and liberty to better inform
the world about these abuses of power.

I think you are not alone with this problem. I think it is much harder
to mobilize enough people for an abstract problem like corruption or
violation of human rights in the wonderland internet than say,
complete obliteration by nuclear warfare. It starts with: What is the
internet? And I assure you, throughout all generations you will
realize that most people simply neither know nor care.
But there is also another very important factor at play, I believe.
And as a journalism major shouldn’t you be aware of the role mass
media plays in all of this? From personal observation I will take
following example: How often do you read or hear the word terror in
mass media compared to – say – cancer. Which is a good example,
because both terms get thrown around like crazy as both are big
security issues for the common woman or man. But whereas cancer can
literally hit anyone anytime and kills a much larger amount, terror is
not only more prominent a term but it gets reported on whereever it
happens.
We don’t care about how cancer inducing the sulfur smoke is for people
“mining” sulfur in some third world country – not newsworthy at least.
But when our milk packaging might cause cancer – you got yourself a
story.
Why then should we care about acts of terrorism all over the world.
Especially when media attention is the aim of terroristic attacks? Ok,
if people of your nation are killed or injured there is some relation
at least. But why is it that prominent a topic? Is it because we love
tragedy so much? Is it entertainment? Is purely coincidental that
terror is the number 1 arguement since 9/11 – and that terror was a
strong and popular arguement for controlling politcal parties and
outlaw meetings in the beginnings of Nazi Germany? On a side note: my
parents connotate terror with the RAF, with a time of very real fear.
I am completely aware of how shaky my points are and I have no idea of
how topic choices in mass media work and why; that is why I responded
to you. I am – as you – grateful for the ongoing report on the topic
but I almost think it is not enough, not critically enough, not simple
enough. I think it does not appeal to a broad audience. I seldomly
wish for more sensationalism than now, but I think it would be a good
start. Am I completly wrong here? I am actually asking you

There’s a saying I’ve learned: “If it bleeds, it leads.” You are
right, unfortunately. In many cases it is sensationalism that often
drives what makes the headlines in most of the mass media. This has
been the case for quite some time. Even Edward R. Murrow made some
pointed comments about how television was threatening to become an
instrument to entertain rather than teach or instruct. And now look at
what’s happened these days.
But this drive towards sensationalism and less informative journalism
exists because that is what a significant segment of the population
wants. They want to be entertained, to be amused, to be insulated from
the serious issues that don’t seem to make as much sense as something
that singularly blames the Democrats or the Republicans. It is the
mindset of society in general that would have to change, and that is
no easy thing to bring about. I guess, unless something changes
otherwise, it will be said in future times that the people fiddled as
their rights burned.
As for whether we should sensationalize news information such as this
to give it more mass appeal, I can’t see how this could get any more
sensational than it already is. To me, it’s inexplicable. I don’t want
to say that it’s because the public is, overall, less educated or less
willing to inform themselves as from what I’ve seen before, but I
can’t think of any other explanation besides that. If one looks at how
people voted in our country’s past, one sees that people stopped
electing third party candidates to Congress around 1950, almost right
when Murrow first began noticing the issues with mass media and the
public.

Thanks for answering. I really have problems putting what I want to
say into words. So let’s start out easy, it is capitalism that ruined
your elections (I also find it very weird that Americans deliberately
only choose between two parties) – but without loads of money there is
just no way to campaign in the US. That seems very clear to me. i mean
why would a company even consider taking the risk of sponsoring a
third party – its like throwing away money. And there is no interest
in more than two parties, because that way you get about a 50/50
chance of influencing the new government. And the same capitalism
ruined mass media, because you show the masses what will bring you
profit.
So maybe the media should educate more or directly go against
government statements – which in America I think will be hard to pull
off. … (btw not saying capitalism is all bad, but it’s downsides are
undeniable)
I think I am getting to (y)our original problem, because the ones who
really want to do something see this huge array of problems arising
when trying to find a solution for just one and ultimately a solution
would take away every security we value.
We 1: want it to happen fast, as there is necessity to act (but fast
change is not pulled of peacefully, we want that as well) and 2: we
are maybe really scared of what every generation before us went
through. We want a system reset without the uncertainty of a collapse.
We see no sense in the slow route because of corruption in the
financial and political sector (there is no trust). As we can’t have
it our desired way, we look at the reports of foreign countries like
north korea and think “uh.. well, its not so bad”
I put my hope into the potential of the internet, but it is still so
new and people cannot cope with its anonymity. And then I think about
how it is monitored in its entirety (yes, it does not go much more
sensational, you are right) by governments who I think have a lot of
interest in people not crossing artificial boundaries like language or
nationality. See – so many problems again!
So basically I am 100% on your side when you say there is a need for
society to change. Problem is, I have no real idea how to go about it
or how to communicate it to – let’s say – people whose main questions
would be: What about my job? You know my family? My security? My
standard of life? My food? My home? MY STUFF? You know, real people
problems of the now and next year. This cannot be solved on an
intellectual level alone.
But concering the media, I think it will be a good step to stop
explaining the gravity of the how and start explaining the why and its
implications. For example calling bullshit on the war against terror –
once and for all.
But maybe change is already happening, but our generation is more
impatient than ever as we are used to get everything within the blink
of an eye (information, shipping, entertainment,…) or maybe the
collapse is just around the corner.
As I see no real options I will play along, educate myself, utter my
oppinion whenever i feel someone listens and wait for some train to
jump on, some idea to act on or something big to happen. Maybe the
people with access to Snowden’s documents have a good plan at their
hands, I hope so. So far I am impressed how everytime the topic seems
to die they release something new, as if they are aware of the time
change will take. – I hope for a bomb at the end, because I stick to
this thing lacking mass appeal and there are many more factors to
blame than just the people who are not interested in their rights
being taking away.

Clapper today:
In his interview, Clapper continued to deny lying to Congress in March
2013, when he said the NSA did “not wittingly” collect data of any
sort on millions of Americans, a lie he has apologized for.
As he has since July, Clapper insisted he “wasn’t even thinking” of
the bulk phone data collection during his March 2013 testimony, and
suggested that only mind-readers could say for sure that he was lying.
“There is only one person on the planet who actually knows what I was
thinking,” Clapper told the Daily Beast. “Not the media, and not
certain members of Congress, only I know what I was thinking.”
This has to be the most ironic, least self-aware statement yet. I
guess only all of those “terrorist suspects” you’re eavesdropping on
know what they are thinking, you have no grounds to take their actual
spoken words to mean anything, right?

Then he breaks down SAIC’s board and the DoD, CIA and NSA connections.

given the ‘into the tipping point’ climate crisis we are now stumbling

translates into big corporations taking absolute control of everyone’s
lives (except the rich), thus threatening the value life in all its

in order to arm young people with some degree of ammunition as they
struggle in an increasingly ugly world.

“Definition of paranoia: supporters of Julian Assange.”
http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2012/jun/24/nick-cohen-julian-assange-paranoia
More pertinently, Greenwald and the rest of Assange’s supporters do
not tell us how the Americans could prosecute the incontinent leaker.
American democracy is guilty of many crimes and corruptions. But the
First Amendment to the US constitution is the finest defence of
freedom of speech yet written. The American Civil Liberties Union
thinks it would be unconstitutional for a judge to punish Assange.
LOL.
How about this from RT: “US claims ‘no interest’ in Assange.”
The US ambassador to Australia, Jeffrey Bleich, rejected as “an
invention” claims that Washington was preparing a warrant for the
arrest of Julian Assange, an Australian national currently under house
arrest in Britain, over WikiLeaks’ role in publishing thousands of
secret US diplomatic cables last year.

By now it’s become pretty clear WE ALL are considered a potential
threat to the powers-that-be, be that the Five Eyes gang, smaller
European nations or the usual suspects Americans tend to point to when
they feel caught in the headlights, China and Russia. It’s necessary
to realise NOBODY is considered innocent any more until proven so. And
from the POV of our Evil Big Brothers just thinking critical is
already a threat to their omnipotence. From organisations like NSA the
only solution they will ever find for any problem is more surveillance
and less dissent. I’m fully aware I’m already considered a suspect for
supporting wikileaks, The Intercept and others just by sharing content
on Facebook and telling these people to mind their own business.
That’s already enough. And not so long in the future just THINKING
such will be enough to justify even worse measures. After all, the
only way to be absolutely 100 per cent safe from us is to get rid of
 us for good, isn’t it? Some eighty years ago the free world was at
war to prevent just this scenario. And succeeded then. Today it looks
as if they could have saved themselves the trouble.

That is a very good point, if these privacy violations aren’t stopped

police departments. Surveillance from an all powerful state is scary,
but can you imagine the horror that would be created if local police
departments can use these same technologies to scale down what the NSA
is doing, to small localities, and truly create ubiquitous
surveillance of all. We have a militarized police force seeking out
enemies where they don’t exist and a private prison Industry that
feeds on increased incarceration this is dream technology to them.
That would be my biggest fear, the state is limited because it must
analyze and synthesize such massive amounts of data, if police
localities are allowed this technology that challenge is eliminated
and you can truly “watch” everyone.

None, but that’s surely going to be their excuse: It has to do with
terrorism because some of the documents published by Wikileaks were
about the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Of course, you could say that
about any media organization that publishes classified national
security information.
Now, when it comes to spying on the Pirate Bay, that has exactly zero
to do with terrorism or national security. It’s purely done on behalf
of a specific industry with a lot of leverage. I wonder if any of the

“exemplifies the start of an international effort to focus the legal

The only place I have seen the term ‘non-state actor’ is in
definitions of terrorism. So the ‘legal element of national power’
being considered is anti-terrorism statutes. This is a clear
indication, for any who may have doubted, that the government intends
to apply anti-terrorism laws against journalists. They have previously
argued that the act of publishing is a form of ‘communication with the
enemy’ under the Espionage Act. So not only is journalism
criminalized, it falls under a statutory regime where many elements of
due process have been suspended under the rationale of the extreme
threat to society posed by terrorism.
Luckily, most journalists should be able to escape prosecution by
demonstrating their loyalty and subservience to the state and becoming
‘state approved non-state actors’.

They’re sniffing, tracking, and recording EVERYTHING, from the swipe

other electronic transaction imaginable, whether or not it’s connected
to a network. And their stunningly powerful analytical tools (e.g.,
the NarusInsight Intercept Suite – “cybersecurity products that

developed by Narus, formerly an Israeli firm and now owned by Boeing)
are poring though all of it, 24/7, building profiles, scenarios,

The U.S. government explicitly warned its employees that reading
leaked documents, whether at the New York Times, Washington Post, The
Guardian or at WL was illegal. Those doing so could lose clearances,
employment or even be prosecuted. While the government might not be
able to directly jeopardize private sector employment of individuals,
this opinion made clear that while some of those news organizations
might not be prevented from publishing (possibly more out of concern
for negative PR perceptions), the act of reading still-classified
documents at those news sites was still illegal for those without
clearance, including the general public. It seems clear that the
enhanced investigation and identification of millions of ordinary news
consumers has been justified through the covert reasoning and
decision-making that has now been publicly revealed.
The evidence seems to make it an inescapable conclusion that mass
secret surveillance, with or without oversight, has morphed into a
political operation, far from dealing with overt threats of violence,
as it did during the COINTEL era, to target as threats peaceful
domestic political criticism of government policy.  Since never before
has the national security state employed so many millions, using
advanced automated technology, the capability to effortlessly target
millions of ordinary citizens is something with far greater impact
than deployed during past overreaches, which consequences of natural
secret police instincts have not been thought through either by most
politicians or the public.

Two points:
(1) When a source provides you with tens of thousands of top secret
documents from one of the most secretive agencies of the world’s most

American history, you tend to focus on reporting those documents. I

You believe in journalism-as-advocacy. That’s fine … but real life is
not a courtroom. Personal attacks and an absolutist stance do little
to facilitate or encourage the inevitable accommodation that must be
made.
I personally believe that a system can be engineered that will give

the security services both an appropriate mission scope and all the
tools that they need to fulfil that mission.
It is, after all, only engineering, and, with the right level of will

the biggest challenge is making sure that the specification is clear,

I had a public standards process more in mind. Certainly a number of
private companies need to do more to secure their external and
internal communications. There is no reason why we should not set
standards and allow organisations to be audited against those
standards.
Equally, we can set (public) standards for companies that hold public
data: how the data should be treated, what precautions should be taken
against unauthorised access and theft, what approaches to analysing
and exploiting the data are legitimate, and which are not.
In this manner, we can build up a vocabulary for talking about data
and privacy; a way of discussing, categorising and quantifying harm,
abuse, and the protections that guard against it.
With this vocabulary, understanding and expertise in place, we can be
more professional and effective about how we guide and control (for
example, though legislation) the actions and the impact of all actors
that manage personal data, including the security services.
With particular reference to the public sector part of it, it is worth
bearing in mind that our bureaucracies and laws are all components of
a social machine, albeit a machine with human components. (We can
debate the quality of the engineering later).
The same principles of expertise, abstraction, and terminology apply
to social constructs as to engineering constructs.

CHOMSKY: “It is very easy to denounce the atrocities of someone else.
That has about as much ethical value as denouncing atrocities that
took place in the 18th century.”
The exact same people who committed those atrocities are the exact
same people who are still committing them.  They never stopped.  You
might want to rethink that one.  The more you look into it the more
you realize its just one group of people responsible for all the
atrocities.
Denouncing their atrocities is the height of ethical value.  It is
everyone’s responsibility and imperative to this situation.
How else do you explain to people that r1b took over 5 continents with
backwards retarded genocides and that they’re still doing it?  They
haven’t stopped for a moment.
Chomsky will need to review the new genetics information available and
reconsider his statement.
That error in the statement is probably why I’ve seen it broadcasted
so many times.
The only reason the CIA didn’t do something with Chomsky is because he
has an absolute zero in the category of leadership ability.  The same
with Bill Gates and Buffet etc.
There’s nothing to agree with regarding the end of his statement, it’s
just wrong and inaccurate.  You should clarify Mr. Greenwald because

r1b took over 4 continents in a few hundred years with genocide.  they
lead the world in human rights abuses and are forcing russia and China
to follow suit in order to compete.  (not to mention the specific ydna
majorities that arose in russia/india and China were caused by western
intelligence in the first place).
Russia and China can’t do anything without the west stopping (actual)
human rights abuses except compete.
If the r1b countries (entire western hemisphere, australia, europe
etc) release its intelligence cattle from its mental institutions,
prisons, guantanamo etc then russia can relinquish its islamic
territories etc. and China can release Tibet etc.
Russia, China, Israel and everyone else can’t do anything because r1b
is sitting around torturing, raping and stealing everything from
everyone.
overthrow r1b, the intelligence belongs to the people who actually
made it not r1b.
they are stealing intelligence from everyone and forcing technology to
be designed so that only they can use it and so that it only benefits
them.  they lie about every single thing every single time.

It’s not really newsworthy to report that Russia, China and Iran are
all horrifically oppressive governments with extremely active
surveillance and repression structures.
Three reasons so much more attention is paid to the US and UK’s activities:
1) The vast majority of the audience for this website are from one of
the “Five Eyes” countries. These people naturally have a much greater
interest in what their governments are up to, since they are the most
likely targets, and they also have the greatest ability to effect
change in their own country.
2) The US and its allies are far, far more powerful than Iran, Russia,
and even China. You may as well ask a blog that focuses on military
affairs why they do not cover a buildup of six shooters and AK-47s in
Bhutan. This is the most pervasive and active surveillance network in
the world.
3) The UK, US and their allies are supposed to be the “free” and
“democratic” countries. The hypocrisy is overwhelming, and it’s
salutary for citizens of these countries to realise that they are not
“the good guys”.

From an international perspective, the US is much more interesting
than Russia and China, which are relatively minor powers. The US does,
in fact, have influence over hundreds of governments around the world.
Russia and China — very few. The US interferes in the politics of
other countries. It funds opposition figures, etc. Its corporate media
is influential globally. The US has about a 1000 military bases
outside its borders. China has none. Russia has a handful. In terms of
international violence in recent times, no one beats the US.

Momentarily. I’m sure Greenwald and Co. have got more to this story in
the pipeline. There’s no way the NSA would stop at just Wikileaks if
they’re also bothering with The Pirate Bay. I wonder what other
political organizations have had the privilege of being considered for
“malicious foreign target” status?
Remember of course that the NSA need not classify any domestic
political organization or movement as a malicious target. They can
always count on the GCHQ to do that for them. Honestly, I think that’s
the biggest revelation of them all. That piwik screengrab proves that
the NSA has no problem leaning on GCHQ to tackle targets that US law
prevents them from attacking.
And we’re supposed to believe that the FISA Amendments Act will do
anything to stop this.

wiretapping — and that would be ELAW (Environmental Law Alliance

Yes, I too would like to see more on NSA monitoring of plain vanilla NGOs.
For keyword searching of Snowden documents, I can suggest a US
educational non-profit that has likely been under total NSA
surveillance for years and years — including full content telephone
and email wiretapping — and that would be ELAW (Environmental Law
Alliance Worldwide) based in Oregon, their threat to national security
being that they supply reference scientific and legal background
material to budding environmental lawyers in developing countries.
That information can have the effect of adding constraints and costs
to flat-out unmitigated resource extraction by foreign multinationals
and so menaces US economic well-being.
If this material lies in the Snowden documents, it could add another
angle to NSA ‘defeat’ of attorney-client privilege — deprive them of
attorneys altogether, or failing that, any applicable environmental
legislation.

I’m an American citizen running a non-profit, public interest website
called AntiPolygraph.org that is critical of official reliance on
polygraph “testing” for national security and public safety purposes.
In August 2013, I received a report from a U.S. Navy petty officer
that when he reported for a recent DoD polygraph examination, he was
presented with a log of his web browsing the night before, on his
personal computer using his personal ISP in his own home. They knew he
had visited AntiPolygraph.org and set about trying to discredit the
information we present. This would be an instance of (presumably) NSA
targeting an American visitor to a lawful, American-operated website
and exploiting that information in near real-time. For more on this,
see “Is AntiPolygraph.org Being Targeted By the NSA?”
In addition, it appears that in May 2013 I was the target of an
attempted entrapment on material support for terrorism charges (or
something like that).
I’d be happy to speak with anyone from The Intercept regarding these
matters, if it’s of interest for your reporting.

In the late 1990′s thru 2004, I encountered numerous entrapmenturs on
sites where ‘lively’ discussion occurred. It still goes on but its
much more hidden. Now it seems to be focused on ‘mollifying the minds
of the Citizenry’, which I find to be criminal Federally Organized
Crime and a RICO Violation  of Our Constitution and way beyond the
calls of Rule of Law used in justifications by ‘nsa members’ and Our

If you have been contributing to Wikileaks for years the U.S. govt
probably added you to one or more watchlists of malcontents long ago.
There’s no practical way you can do anything about it at this point so
you might as well follow your conscience and do what’s right.
Speaking truth to power and thereby increasing pressure for reform
might in the long run end up being the best and only way to get
yourself off a government watchlist.

Politics
Clapper’s ‘least untruthful’ statement to the Senate
By Glenn Kessler June 12, 2013

SEN. RON WYDEN (D-Ore.): “This is for you, Director Clapper, again on
the surveillance front. And I hope we can do this in just a yes or no
answer because I know Senator Feinstein wants to move on. Last summer,
the NSA director was at a conference, and he was asked a question
about the NSA surveillance of Americans. He replied, and I quote here,
‘The story that we have millions or hundreds of millions of dossiers
on people is completely false.’

“The reason I’m asking the question is, having served on the committee
now for a dozen years, I don’t really know what a dossier is in this
context. So what I wanted to see is if you could give me a yes or no
answer to the question, does the NSA collect any type of data at all
on millions or hundreds of millions of Americans?”

Director of National Intelligence JAMES CLAPPER: “No, sir.”

SEN. WYDEN: “It does not?”

DIR. CLAPPER: “Not wittingly. There are cases where they could
inadvertently perhaps collect, but not wittingly.”

SEN. WYDEN: “Thank you. I’ll have additional questions to give you in
writing on that point, but I thank you for the answer.”

— exchange during a hearing of the Senate Intelligence Committee, March 12, 2013

This exchange during a congressional hearing has suddenly achieved new
prominence in the wake of the revelations of National Security Agency
programs that include the collection of data from U.S. phone call
records and the NSA’s surveillance of online communications to and
from foreign targets.

Through the top-secret program known as PRISM, authorized by federal
judges working under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA),
the NSA apparently can gain access to the servers of nine Internet
companies for a wide range of digital data.

On Tuesday, Sen. Ron Wyden (D-Ore.) issued a tough statement, saying
Director of National Intelligence James Clapper did not give a
“straight answer” to his question. Wyden added that the day before the
hearing, he gave Clapper’s office advance notice that he would be
asking this particular question and that “after the hearing was over,
my staff and I gave his office a chance to amend his answer.”

Wyden’s staff declined to release the correspondence, citing a policy
of wanting to keep communications with administration officials
private. But Wyden’s statement strongly suggests Clapper had been
deliberately misleading when he appeared before the Senate panel.

The Facts

Clapper has long indicated his discomfort about addressing
confidential matters in public, particularly in response to questions
from lawmakers. At the beginning of the hearing involving the exchange
with Wyden, Clapper made the following observation:

    “I have serious reservations about conducting open hearings on the
worldwide threat, especially the question-and-answer sessions. While I
believe it’s important to keep the American public informed about the
threats our nation faces, I believe that can be done through
unclassified opening statements and statements for the record. As you
also know, we’re ready to answer any and all of your questions in
closed session. But an open hearing on intelligence matters is
something of a contradiction in terms.”

But Wyden’s statement indicated that the question should not have been
a surprise and that Clapper should have been prepared for it.

Shawn Turner, a spokesman for Clapper, did not respond to two days of
inquiries. But in weekend interviews, Clapper indicated that he skated
close to the line.

In an interview with NBC’s Andrea Mitchell, he said that “I responded
in what I thought was the most truthful, or least untruthful manner,
by saying no,” though he also called his answer “too cute by half.” He
indicated that his response to Wyden turned on a definition of
“collect:” “There are honest differences on the semantics of what --
when someone says ‘collection’ to me, that has a specific meaning,
which may have a different meaning to him.”

One wonders why Clapper or his staff did not seek a clarification,
given the apparent heads up by Wyden. Clapper apparently thinks the
NSA “collects” only on specific targets — what he called, in the
interview with NBC, “taking the book off the shelf and opening it up
and reading it.” But that is a rather slippery answer.

In an interview with the National Journal, Clapper said: “What I said
was, the NSA does not voyeuristically pore through U.S. citizens’
e-mails. I stand by that.” But neither Clapper nor Wyden referred to
e-mails during the exchange. Wyden in fact referred to “any type of
data at all” — which presumably would also cover the phone records in
the other classified program that has been the subject of media
reports.

It is important to remember that broad hints of these programs have
already been in the media. In 2006, USA Today ran a major story titled
“NSA has massive database of Americans’ phone calls.” The newspaper
said that the NSA “has been secretly collecting the phone call records
of tens of millions of Americans” and that “the NSA program reaches
into homes and businesses across the nation by amassing information
about the calls of ordinary Americans — most of whom aren’t suspected
of any crime.”

Our colleague Bob Woodward, in his 2010 book titled “Obama’s Wars,”
reported on three NSA code-word operations, SHARKFINN, RT10 AND RTRG
(Real Time, Regional Gateway) that were “designed to speed the
acquisition, storage, dissemination and availability of intercepted
communications, including cell phone calls and e-mails.” RT10 made it
10 billion times faster, and RTRG “meant there was a way to capture
all the data, store it, make it instantly available to intelligence
analysts and operators, allowing the U.S. to react quickly in response
to the enemy.”

Woodward’s disclosures about this “breakthrough eavesdropping
capability” are not hard to find, as they appear on page 7.

And Wired magazine, in an article in March by NSA expert James
Bamford, reported on the NSA’s new center in Utah: “Stored in
near-bottomless databases will be all forms of communication,
including the complete contents of private emails, cell phone calls,
and Google searches, as well as all sorts of personal data trails —
parking receipts, travel itineraries, bookstore purchases, and other
digital ‘pocket litter.’ ”

President Obama “certainly believes that Director Clapper has been
straight and direct in the answers that he’s given and has actively
engaged in an effort to provide more information about the programs
that have been revealed through the leak of classified information,”
spokesman Jay Carney said Tuesday.

The Pinocchio Test

Given the information already in the public domain, including about
e-mails, it is unclear what Clapper thought he was protecting with his
“too cute by half” and “least untruthful” answer. Such important
questions — and answers — should not be left to a semantic debate over
the meaning of “collection.”

Clapper in recent days has tried to emphasize how forthright the NSA
has been in explaining these programs. But he might have saved himself
some trouble if he had been more forthright in the first place.

Given that so much is still unknown about these programs, we will
start this rating at Three Pinocchios and possibly adjust if more
information becomes available.

Update, July 3: In a letter to Congress, Clapper acknowledged that his
comment was “clearly erroneous.” But he also wrote that his staff
acknowledged the error to Wyden’s staff “soon after the hearing.” A
Wyden spokesman confirms that, saying that Clapper’s staff declined an
opportunity to amend the record publicly. Given that Clapper very
quickly--if privately--conceded that he had made an error, we see no
reason to increase the number of Pinocchios.

Russian-Canadian Relations Today

The diplomatic relations between Canada and the new Russia were
officially established on 25 December, 1991.

The ties with Canada rest upon a substantial legal base, including a
political Treaty on accord and cooperation of June 19, 1992, as well
as a number of economic agreements (on bilateral trade, economic
cooperation, promotion and mutual protection of investments, avoiding
double taxation, etc.) and on cooperation in a variety of fields (the
Arctic and North, air traffic, mutual legal assistance in criminal
cases, etc.). There is a valid Agreement on cooperation between
Russia’s constituent entities and Canada’s provinces and territories.

http://www.rusembassy.ca/sites/default/files/Russia-Canada-Politic/Medvedev-Harper-g8.jpg

The political dialog is in progress. Our leaders met during the G8
Summits in Sea Island (the USA, June 2004), Gleneagles (Great Britain,
July 2005), Saint-Petersburg (Russia, July 2006), Heiligendamm
(Germany, July 2007).  In July 2008 there was the first meeting
between President-elect of the Russian Federation Dmitry Medvedev and
Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper on the margins of the G8 Summit
in Japan. Dmitry Medvedev visited Canada in June 2010 to take part in
G8 and G20 Summits. A bilateral meeting between the two leaders took
place in May 2011 during the G8 Summit in Deauville (France).
Both leaders also had bilateral meetings during APEC Summits in Sidney
(Australia, September 2007) and in Singapore (November 2009).

The former Canadian Governor-General Adrienne Clarkson visited Russia
on September 23-October 1, 2003. Her participation in the celebrations
on the occasion of the 60th anniversary of Victory in the Great
Patriotic War (1941-1945) which took place in Moscow on May 9, 2005
became a landmark in bilateral relations.

Russia and Canada closely interact within the framework of the UN, G8,
G20, APEC, OSCE and other international global and regional fora on a
number of key international issues, including strategic stability and
security, settlement of regional conflicts, non-proliferation of
weapons of mass destruction.

Our countries cooperate actively in seeking adequate joint response to
the new global threats and challenges, such as international
terrorism. On October 12, 2004 the Joint Statement by the President of
Russia and the Prime Minister of Canada on Cooperation in the Struggle
against Terrorism was issued during the Prime Minister's visit to
Moscow. 2010 saw an exchange of visits between Russia's Sercretary of
the Security Council Nikolay Patrushev and then National Security
Advisor to the Prime Minister of Canada M.-L.Morin.

One of the important bilateral security undertakings is our
cooperation within the framework of the Global Partnership (GP)
against the Spread of Weapons and Materials of Mass Destruction, which
was launched in Canada at the G8 Kananaskis Summit. The above
collaboration between our two countries has already led to significant
progress in all GP priority areas: destruction of chemical weapons,
dismantlement of decommissioned nuclear submarines, nuclear &
radiological security, and redirection of former weapons scientists.
Extremely high reliability and zeal of the Canadian partners is widely
acknowledged by their Russian counterparts.

Our two countries actively cooperate within the tri-national
(Canada-Russia-USA) Arctic SAREX (Air Sea Search and Rescue Exercise
in the Arctic) process, which through continuous sharing of expertise
on SAR procedures and capabilities has increased both civil and
military interoperability between the three Arctic nations. 12
trilateral exercises in the Arctic have been hosted by Canada, Russia
and the United States respectively since 1993.

The Ministers of Foreign Affairs maintain regular contacts. They tend
to check with each other’s steps at every convenience: whether it is
the UN General Assembly sessions, G8 or APEC ministerial meetings. In
September 2004 Minister of Foreign Affairs of Canada paid a working
visit to Russia. March 2006 saw the working visit to Canada of the
Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation Sergey Lavrov,
who held talks with the Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs
of Canada. The Foreign Ministers of Russia and Canada had two
bilateral meetings in 2009: in April on the margins of Arctic Council
biennial ministerial meeting in Norway and in September at the UN
General Assembly. Minister Lavrov also met with his counterpart
Lawrence Cannon during the ministerial meeting of Five Arctic Coastal
States in Canada  in March 2010. On the margins of 2011 G8 Summit in
France  Sergey Lavrov had his first meeting with the new Canadian
Foreign Minister John Baird. Regular meetings allow the parties to
discuss the present state of both bilateral relations, and urgent
international issues and confirm the mutual interest in developing
political dialogue, trade and economic partnership, relations in the
humanitarian and academic sphere, as well as Arctic and Northern
cooperation.

A number of other bilateral consultation mechanisms was established
during the recent years. Bilateral interministerial consultations on
strategic stability, counter-terrorism cooperation and regional issues
are among them. Such meetings provide an opportunity for both sides to
discuss different aspects of cooperation on a wide range of  issues.
Yet another round of strategic stability consultations (headed by the
two G8 Political Directors) took place in Ottawa in May 2011.
Canada-Russia counter-terrorism consultations were held consequently
in May 2003 (Moscow), in October 2004 (Ottawa) and in November 2005
(Moscow). In May 2009 Canadian-Russian bilateral consultations on new
challenges and threats took place in Ottawa. March 2011 saw the latest
round of Canada-Russia consultations on Latin America and the
Caribbean. Canada-Russia policy-planning consultations took place in
Moscow in February 2011. Interdepartmental consultations on border
security between our countries are held regularly.

The Russia-Canada mil-to-mil contacts are progressively developing.
The first official visit to Canada by the Minister of Defence of the
Russian Federation took place in October 2003. In September 2005, the
Minister of National Defence of Canada held talks in Moscow with the
Minister of Defence of the Russian Federation, Russian Foreign
Minister and Secretary of the Security Council. In May 2006, a
delegation of "Rosoboronexport" (the Russian state company in charge
of international arms sales) arrived in Canada to review the prospects
for the bilateral military-technical cooperation. In August, 2011
Russian, Canadian and US Air Forces conducted their second cooperative
air exercise «Vigilant Eagle», joint effort to combat terrorism aboard
civilian jets. Russia and Canada also successfully interact in the
framework of the Treaty on Open Skies.

The parliamentary component of the Russian-Canadian cooperation is
developing dynamically. A delegation of the State Duma headed by its
Chairman visited Canada in 2001. The Speaker of Canadian Senate at the
head of a parliamentary delegation paid an official visit to Russia in
2003. Speaker of the House of Commons of Canada Peter Milliken was on
an official visit in Moscow in October 2005. In November 2005, a
delegation of the Council of Federation of the Federal Assembly of
Russia headed by its Chairman Sergey Mironov paid an official visit to
Canada. In November 2007, Noel Kinsella, the Speaker of the Senate of
Canada and the head of a parliamentary delegation, was on a reciprocal
visit.

http://www.rusembassy.ca/sites/default/files/Russia-Canada-Politic/Medvedev-Harper-g20.jpg

Deputy Chairmen of the State Duma and the Council of Federation
visited Ottawa in September 2010 for G8/G20 Speakers meetings
respectively. The success was complete with a visit by Vladimir
Svinarev, Secretary General of the Council of Federation of the
Federal Assembly of Russia in November the same year.

Back in October 1998 a Canada-Russia Parliamentary Association was
created in the Parliament of Canada which originally comprised MPs
representing all party caucuses. It is co-chaired by the Hon.Senator
Paul J.Massicotte. Similarly, in 2007 a Russia-Canada Parliamentary
Cooperation Group was established in the Council of Federation of the
Federal Assembly of the Russian Federation.

After the launch of Global Partnership at the G8 Kananaskis Summit in
2002 Canada pledged 1 billion Canadian dollars during ten years (100
million dollars annually) for cooperation projects with Russia. The
relevant bilateral intergovernmental Agreement on cooperation in the
field of destruction of chemical weapons, disposal of decommissioned
nuclear submarines and nuclear and radiological security was signed in
2004 at the G8 Sea Island Summit.

The cooperation is ongoing between the Supreme, Constitutional and
Supreme Commercial Courts based on the Memorandum on Agreement with
the Office of Commissioner for Federal Judicial Affairs Canada. In
March 2004, the Chairman of the Constitutional Court of Russia visited
Canada. Anton Ivanov, the Chairman of the Supreme Commercial Court of
Russia, was on a visit to Canada in October 2008.

Cooperation between auditing bodies is also developing. Auditor
General of Canada Sheila Fraser paid a visit to Moscow in March 2006,
and the head of the Accounts Chamber of the Russian Federation Sergey
Stepashin came to Canada with a reciprocal visit two years later.

Deputy Prime Minister of the Russian Federation Dmitry Kozak’s visit
to Vancouver on February 6-8, 2009 was of significant importance for
discussing issues of preparing Vancouver and Sochi for 2010 and 2014
Winter Olympics respectively. The discussion in this field was
continued during the 2010 Olympics in Vancouver at special meetings
between Dmitry Kozak and Minister of Sports, Tourism and Youth Policy
of Russia Vitaly Mutko with Canadian governmental officials and
business community.

http://www.rusembassy.ca/sites/default/files/Russia-Canada-Politic/Russia-Canada-Sochi.jpg


The cooperation between Russian regions and Canadian provinces and
territories is rapidly developing in such areas like agriculture,
infrastructure and Northern Development, oil and gas industry. The
Canadian provinces of Quebec, British Columbia, Ontario, Manitoba and
Alberta have been particularly active recently, just as Moscow, St.
Petersburg, the Republics of Tatarstan and Sakha (Yakutia),
territories of Krasnoyarsk and Primorye and Murmansk region from the
Russian side.

Documents on cooperation between the Krasnodar Territory and British
Columbia, the cities of Sochi and Vancouver were signed end February
2010 in Vancouver.

December 2009 saw the first ever visit by the Prime Minister of Quebec
