BEING an American-Israeli investigative journalist, there is nothing unusual about having one’s hooks into both ends, namely, the goings-on in Washington, D.C. and Tel Aviv (Jerusalem, too) via clued-in sources. They are, for the most part, non-tainted media types and Intel operatives. It’s part of the (trusted) territory.
EVEN so, this antenna went up (higher than usual) at a recent meeting with a VERY experienced unnamed Intel source (now working “freelance”), when the discussion took an abrupt u-turn and almost caused whiplash at this end – after all, new droppings re “Russia-Gate” was supposed to be on the menu, so to speak. However, within short order, a 180 degree flip shined a spotlight on pedo-Epstein! Not for nothing.
IN his usual low key style, he laid out several interlocking linkages, and made it crystal clear: domestic (and foreign) actors who attempted to rig the election for Clinton and then waged a “soft” coup after Trump was duly elected, are (some of) the same key players mired in Epstein’s (international) pedo ring – as many have long suspected, but couldn’t prove! Without skipping a beat, he pulled out of his (padlocked) briefcase a sheath of documents that evidenced the same – and, as it happens, are stored in disc-form in a safe-house, just in case. Of course, inquiring how he got his hands on sensitive docs is, as always, met with a cool stare. Besides, pressing this aspect is akin to a fool’s errand and a total waste of time. As is said, loose lips sink ships.
NOW, twisted as the meeting became, the above was not really the main event. Rather, this highly connected Intel operative (who happens to jump between Israel and the U.S.) placed the most incendiary “bomblets” in my lap, but in the form of “follow the breadcrumbs.” Why would he do this? Well, since he has “the goods”, he also recognizes that once gifted this and that, these wheels can be counted on to spin big time, in turn, sharing here and there – up to a point – until it becomes a done deal and others follow suit.
IN this regard, the aforementioned “bomblets” were dropped to push the truth from here to there. But to do so, necessitates a dispassionate look-back through Snowden’s revelations, whatever one thinks of his actions. It is what it is.
TRUTH dare be told, the NSA has long since abandoned its original mission, that which entails: “The NSA is responsible for global monitoring, collection, and processing of information and data for foreign and domestic intelligence and counterintelligence purposes, specializing in a discipline known as signals intelligence (SIGINT). The NSA is also tasked with the protection of U.S. communications networks and information systems.[8][9]
RATHER, its ILLEGAL arm, as revealed by Snowden’s massive and unprecedented dump, is engaged thusly: “According to the leaked documents, the NSA intercepts and stores the communications of over a billion people worldwide, including United States citizens.” {emphasis added} To what end? The answer to that lies within a very obvious, but highly illegal and dark domain – BLACKMAIL.
ACCORDING to Forbes.com:
To paraphrase Joseph Heller: Just because you’re paranoid doesn’t mean they aren’t surveilling you.
In less than 24 hours, the spectre of the National Security Agency as a panopticon collecting data on every American has evolved from a conspiracy theory into reality. First, a leaked top secret order sent to Verizon and exposed on Wednesday evening showed that the agency requested the call records over three months of every American user of Verizon Business Network Services. A day later, the revelation of that surveillance has expanded to encompass Sprint and AT&T, too, as well as Internet service providers and even credit card companies. And now a separate leak has exposed another NSA program known as PRISM that reportedly created backdoors in every major tech firm, including Google, Microsoft, Facebook and Apple.
The details of the last of those spying stories remain murky: All of the companies named in the leaked PowerPoint presentation outlining PRISM have now denied cooperating with the program.
But given the mounting evidence, the NSA will have a much harder time than those tech firms in denying that it’s engaged in massive domestic spying campaigns.
As the NSA’s surveillance scandal widens, I thought it would be worthwhile to look back at a few of the recorded moments over 2012 and 2013 when top NSA officials publicly denied–often with carefully hedged words–participating in the kind of snooping on Americans that has since become nearly undeniable.
In a congressional hearing in March of last year, for instance, NSA Director Keith Alexander was questioned about a Wired magazine cover story that included on-the-record interviews with multiple ex-NSA officials describing the agency’s collection of Americans’ voice and digital information. Speaking to Representative Hank Johnson, Alexander responded 14 times that the agency doesn’t collect the kind of domestic data Bamford had alleged……continue the spooky and illegal truth-telling here……
DEAR reader, bear in mind that the hubbub caused by Snowden’s unmasking of the NSA in 2013 – when the true extent of its domestic spying programs spilled forth into the public sphere – didn’t last long. It became “old news” in short shrift and died down, once the news cycle spun elsewhere. Grave, grave error.
CONSIDER: since the Deep State is in charge of every governmental apparatus, what better way to keep outliers in Congress, their main contributors, and federal judges in line, if not through a “sweep-up” of all of their data, whatever it may be? As such, once the “targets of interest” realize that their life’s worth of (actual, or doctored) dirty laundry is in danger of public airing, well, complaining about compromised intelligence agencies is the last thing they are interested in! In effect, enforced silence becomes a fait accompli.
KNOW this, too: This and that meeting is always a means to an end, that is, to get the info out there, albeit, without compromising the source(s). Mind you, in certain instances – like this one! – to do so would not only be unethical, but would place the agent in extreme danger. Never and never……
