Whether you like it or not, police departments across the country have been accessing a special data base which contains a plethora of personal information on you and the rest of the American population. And much like a ‘credit report,’ these computerized predictive policing models have likely already issued your personal ‘threat level.’
So what started all of this?
These Pre-Crime systems and technologies were first introduced and were fully functional just days after the alleged attacks on the Pentagon and WTC in September of 2001 and have been advancing ever since. To put it in layman’s terms; if you have ever seen any of the Terminator movies — essentially “Skynet” has been activated right here in good old America and has been running now for some 15 years.
In fact, the systems are so advanced that police departments can now literally toggle between license plate, facial, iris, and gate recognition software/camera networks, along with satellite data, StingRay, and drone technologies to track suspects throughout the country in realtime, thus assigning any new active and open case a ‘targeted individual‘ status which also ties into the National Security Agency’s current Domestic Spying.
According to the Washington Post, “The number of local police departments that employ some type of technological surveillance increased from 20 percent in 1997 to more than 90 percent in 2013, according to the latest information from the Bureau of Justice Statistics,” which is alarming to say the least.
Not only can the FBI activate cameras on civilian computers, but the agency has been doing so for several years. That’s according to Marcus Thomas, a former assistant director with the bureau, who spoke to the Washington Post about the controversial computer hacking technique used by law enforcement in the United States.
Most webcams come equipped with an indicator light, which alerts users when they’re being recorded. However, the FBI supposedly has the ability to disable this feature.The tactic has been utilized “mainly” against suspected terrorists but is also used in non-terrorism related investigations.
Legal limitations placed on online surveillance have long been considered a hindrance to the FBI. Compared to the National Security Agency, the FBI has been extraordinarily vocal about its intentions.The agency’s primary goal in 2013, as stated by Andrew Weissman at the American Bar Association, was to expand wiretapping capabilities to include all forms of real-time online communication, such as conversations that take place over Google chat.
Valerie Caproni, a former FBI general counsel, previously outlined the agency’s concerns before the House Subcommittee on Crime, Terrorism, and Homeland Security. “The challenge facing our state and local counterparts is exacerbated by the fact that there is currently no systematic way to make existing federally developed electronic intercept solutions widely available across the law enforcement community.
Caproni’s testimony included descriptions of two criminal investigations, which she said illustrated the need for increased surveillance powers. The first case cited involved a narcotics investigation; the second, the distribution of child pornography. Both of these crimes, while serious violations of the law, do not constitute a threat to national security.
New wiretap technologies developed by The Domestic Communications Assistance Center (DCAC or NDCAC), are implemented through the Communications Assistance for Law Enforcement Act (CALEA), a law that requires telecommunications carriers—including Internet service providers—to accommodate government surveillance by retrofitting their equipment. In coordination with other agencies, the FBI has continuously sought to expand the authority granted to it by CALEA.
The debate over state surveillance powers isn’t likely to end anytime soon. If you’d prefer to not get shy while standing in front of your appliances, you can always slap duct tape over your webcam.
Did the CIA meet with some of the 9/11 hijackers ahead of the attacks on New York and Washington? Did the Saudi government help finance those hijackers? Someone knows the answers, and soon, you might know as well.
James Clapper, the director of national intelligence, told the New York Times the so-called “28 pages,” a still-classified section from the official report of the Joint Inquiry into Intelligence Community Activities Before and After the Terrorist Attacks of September 11, 2001, may be released to the public as early as this summer. The full 838-page report, minus those pages, was published in December 2002.The pages detail Saudi Arabia’s involvement in funding the 9/11 hijackers, and were classified by then-President George W. Bush.
So What Do The 28 Pages Say?
Richard Clarke is the former National Coordinator for Security, Infrastructure Protection and Counterterrorism for the United States. He is best-known for trying to warn the Bush administration that a terror attack was imminent in the days preceding 9/11. As late as a July 5, 2001, White House meeting with the FAA, the Coast Guard, the FBI, Secret Service and the INS, Clarke stated that “something really spectacular is going to happen here, and it’s going to happen soon.”
Here’s what Clarke said at a security forum held this week in New York about what those 28 pages might reveal:
– 9/11 hijackers and Saudi citizens ,Khalid Al-Midhar and Nawaq Al Hamzi met in San Diego with several other Saudis, including one who may have been a Saudi intelligence agent and another who was both an al Qaeda sympathizer and an employee of the Saudi Consulate in Los Angeles.
– The CIA also made contact with Midhar and Hamzi in San Diego, and unsuccessfully tried to “turn them,” i.e., recruit them to work for the United States. The CIA did not inform the FBI or others of this action until just before 9/11. (In a 2009 interview, Clarke speculated that the CIA would have used Saudi intelligence as an intermediary to approach the two al-Qaeda operatives.)
The rumors that Saudi charities and/or the spouse of then-Saudi ambassador to the United States Bandar bin Sultan (who went on to be director general of the Saudi Intelligence Agency from 2012 to 2014) directly funded the 9/11 hijackers per se are “overblown,” according to Clarke.
However, elements of Saudi charities and the ambassador himself did regularly provide funding to various Saudi citizens in the United States, for example, those needing money for medical care. It is possible that the 9/11 hijackers defrauded Saudi sources to obtain funds, but less clear that any Saudi government official knowingly funded persons for the purpose of committing 9/11.
Alongside Clapper, Clarke too believes the 28 pages will be released to the public within the next five to six weeks.
Don’t focus on the the What, But the Why
Should the full 28 pages be released, there will no doubt be enormous emphasis placed on what they say, specifically the degree to which they implicate elements of Saudi Arabia and/or the Saudi royal family in funding or supporting the 9/11 hijackers. If the CIA contact with some of the hijackers is confirmed, that will be explosive.
But after the what is the why, and that answer has the potential to affect the future, not just document the past.
– Why were the pages classified in the first place (who benefited?) and why did they stay classified now into a second administration, some 15 years after the events they discuss took place?
– Why did the CIA not reveal its contacts with the two 9/11 hijackers? Who benefits from this?
– Why would 2 successive Government administrations run interference for the Saudi’s? With Nearly half the U.S.population not believing the official story. Surely if you could,You would pin it on somebody to distract from your own guilt, wouldn’t you want to find a scapegoat?
It seems as thought the Mainstream media is finally coming around to the facts that 9/11 truther’s have been researching and presenting for the last 15 years. The fact’s the Bush administration sanctioned 9/11 report was basically a cover up and not in the interest of actually revealing the key players and real events of the 9/11 Terror attacks.
The New York post released a story relating to the congressional report of the classified “28 pages”, Alleging that the Cover up goes far beyond the classified documents into direct tampering with investigations and Sheilding individuals that were involved.
On Sunday, in an extremely damning indictment, the New York Post exposed the extreme corruption and cover up the U.S. government engaged in after the attacks of 9/11 — as it took a look at what has become known as the “28 pages” – a classified section of the 9/11 files regarding possible states sponsorship of the attacks, which was intentionally buried by the U.S. government.
What has come to light is nothing less than a political bombshell, as the information allegedly highlights undeniable connections between senior Saudi officials and the men who flew the planes into the World Trade Center and Pentagon.
The NY Post uncovered numerous claims of “diplomatic immunity,” which shut down investigations into the 9/11 attacks – with U.S. government officials happy to overlook allied co-conspirators in the name of preserving the Petrodollar alliance.
The Post spoke with a source on record who detailed the Saudi ambassadors funding of the 9/11 hijackers, as well as alleging that they “are currently funding global jihad.”
Several Former F.B.I. sources have come forward with information that the Bush administration had tampered with investigations of individuals related to the 9/11 attacks, and had even gone as far enough to protect them with diplomatic immunity.
“The FBI was thwarted from interviewing the Saudis we wanted to interview by the White House,” said former FBI agent Mark Rossini, who was involved in the investigation of al Qaeda and the hijackers. The White House “let them off the hook.”
Mark Rossini, a former FBI special agent says he is “appalled” by the newly declassified statements by former CIA Director George Tenet defending the spy agency’s efforts to detect and stop the plot.
Rossini, who was assigned to the CIA’s Counterterrorism Center (CTC) at the time of the attacks, has long maintained that the U.S. government has covered up secret relations between the spy agency and Saudi individuals who may have abetted the plot. Fifteen of the 19 hijackers who flew commercial airliners into the World Trade Center towers, the Pentagon, and a failed effort to crash into the U.S. Capitol, were Saudis.
Rossini and another FBI agent assigned to the CTC, Doug Miller, say they learned in January 2000 that one of the future hijackers, an Al-Qaeda operative by the name of Khalid al-Mihdhar, had a multi-entry visa to enter the U.S. By mid-summer of 2001, the CIA was repeatedly warning President George W. Bush and other White House officials that an Al-Qaeda attack was imminent. But Miller and Rossini say when they attempted to warn FBI headquarters that al-Mihdhar could be loose in the U.S., a CIA supervisor ordered them to remain silent.
9/11 researcher and Author Kevin Barret has alleged that the 15 Saudi nationals involved with the attacks were working directly for the C.I.A. and were subsequently set up as patsies. According to Barret and his sources the hijackers” were covertly working with rogue factions of the U.S. Military Industrial Complex,and Israeli Mossad.
So these 15 Saudi patsies, who were set up to take the blame for 9/11, were in fact CIA agents. We know this – I had this confirmed directly by a CIA source that these 15 Saudis entered, and repeatedly reentered on these supposedly – they call them employment visas, but there’s a special number for employment visas that are only given to CIA assets as a reward for their service to the Central Intelligence Agency, and this visa allows them to come to the US. Typically they’re paid for their work for the CIA in Saudi Arabia, and then they are given this special kind of visa which is disguised as an employment visa but it’s of particular type,”
“And all 15 of these guys had that visa. That shows that they were in fact Central Intelligence Agency agents. Some of them were living with FBI people in California. So these 15 Saudis were not working against the United States government, they were working for the United States government, and they were set up so that Saudi Arabia could be potentially blamed for the September 11 attacks, which were actually perpetrated by Israel and its American assets,”
While that may seem like a stretch of the imagination it has been documented that some of 9/11 terrorists were flight trained at american Military facilities and were being watched by undercover F.B.I. sources And yet all the while these “terrorists” were always one step ahead of being caught,months prior to 9/11. There are massive amounts of information that were not included in the official 9/11 report narrative. When viewed seperatley and randomly it would seem to not add up, but when viewed in the light of U.S. Government complicity and cover-up of the events begins to truly make sense.
As pressure mounts against the US government to declassify the 28 pages of the Senate’s 9/11 investigation, and as a new bill that could hold Saudi Arabia responsible for the attack makes its way through Congress, the Saudis are doing everything in their power to suppress the truth. That includes blackmailing the US government.
According to The New York Times Saudi Arabia’s foreign minister told the Obama Administration and Congress last month, that if this bill passes, they would sell off $750 billion in US treasuries and other assets. The bill would create an exemption in the Sovereign Immunities Act of 1976, which would allow the families of 9/11 victims to sue Saudi royal family members who may have helped facilitate the terrorist attack.
Saudi Arabia, being the third largest holder of U.S Treasury bills in the world behind China and Japan, has warned the Obama administration and Congress that they will begin liquidating all of their U.S. assets if Congress passes a bill allowing the Saudi government to be held responsible. Riyadh’s resolve to actually deliver on the threat is dubious, since selling off those assets would be technically challenging and would damage the dollar, against which the Saudi national currency is pegged.
The bill before the senate is meant to clarify that the immunity enjoyed by foreign nationals should not be applicable to cases where a nation is found responsible for a terrorist attack on American soil. If passed, the bill would effectively clear the way for the role of the Saudi government to be explored in the numerous lawsuits filed regarding 9/11.
President Obama has come out against the bill, saying that it would lead foreign nations to retaliate with their own legislation. Secretary of State John Kerry added that the bill would “expose the United States of America to lawsuits and take away our sovereign immunity and create a terrible precedent.” In response to this political resistance, the families of 9/11 victims have expressed outrage. Mindy Kleinberg, who lost her husband in the World Trade Center and who is promoting the legislation, stated that “It’s stunning to think that our government would back the Saudis over its own citizens.”
Intelligence agencies from several countries, including CIA intermediaries, have abundantly used the services of Panamanian law firm Mossack Fonseca to “conceal” their activities, German newspaper Sueddeutsche Zeitung (SZ) says, citing leaked documents.
Both “secret agents and their informants have used the company’s services,”wrote the newspaper, which earlier this month published online materials based on 11.5 million documents from the Panamanian law firm. It has been called the largest leak on corruption in journalistic history. “Agents have set up shell companies to conceal their activities,” the Munich-based newspaper reported, adding that there are CIA mediators among them.
Mossack Fonseca’s clients also included some of those involved in the so-called Iran-Contra affair, in which several Reagan administration officials secretly facilitated arms sales to Iran in the 1980s in order to secure the release of US hostages and fund Nicaragua’s Contra rebels.

The Panama leak claims to expose the offshore holdings of 12 current and former world leaders and provides data on the financial activities of 128 other politicians and public officials from different countries.
Last week WikiLeaks tweeted that the US government and American hedge-fund billionaire George Soros allegedly funded the Papers to attack Putin. According to the international whistleblowing organization, the US government’s funding of such an attack appeared to be a serious blow to its integrity.
One former CIA officer told RT that the fact that the Western media has been unanimously using the Russian leader as the “face” of the Panama Papers leak can be explained by one simple look at the organizations behind these news outlets.
A prominent German journalist, Dr. Udo Ulfkotte Recently made remarks on the current state of constant propaganda that is shoveled out by the Mainstream Mass Media.
In an interview with RT, Dr. Udo Ulfkotte dropped a bombshell when he stated that the mainstream media writes under direct CIA pressure.
“I’ve been a journalist for about 25 years, and I was educated to lie, to betray, and not to tell the truth to the public.
But seeing right now within the last months how the German and American media tries to bring war to the people in Europe, to bring war to Russia —
This is a point of no return and I’m going to stand up and say it is not right what I have done in the past, to manipulate people, to make propaganda against Russia, and it is not right what my colleagues do and have done in the past because they are bribed to betray the people, not only in Germany, all over Europe”.
It’s important to keep in mind that Dr. Ulfkotte is not the only person making these claims; multiple reporters have done the same and this kind of truthfulness is something the world needs more of.
Unfortunately, the idea of the CIA manipulating media is not reserved for the realms of tin foil hats. The CIA admittedly conducts operations to brainwash the public through media control. This was known as Operation Mocking Bird.
he secretive U.S. military research division DARPA has announced plans to create a device that could accelerate learning in the human brain.
The targeted neuroplasticity training (TNT) program uses a method that claims to be able to improve cognitive skills by stimulating peripheral nerves.
Recent research has shown that stimulation of certain peripheral nerves, easily and painlessly achieved through the skin, can activate regions of the brain involved with learning,” said TNT program manager Doug Weber.This natural process of synaptic plasticity is pivotal for learning, but much is unknown about the physiological mechanisms that link peripheral nerve stimulation to improved plasticity and learning.”
DARPA already has programs underway involving the peripheral nervous system, which it hopes will eventually be used as a substitute for drugs to treat diseases and help accelerate healing. TNT aims to not just restore lost function but also advance capabilities beyond normal levels. Few details have been given about the device DARPA plans to engineer to facilitate the accelerated learning, other than it will be “non-invasive.”
Targeted Neuroplasticity Training (TNT) premise is set on the mechanism that signals are instigated in the extremities and then forwarded to the brain to alter or modify its structure. This means the agency plans to stimulate specific peripheral nerves to trigger the release of certain molecules. These molecules are released into the brain due to which the neurons rearrange themselves and the purpose is achieved.
The objective has been trying to find a solution to simulate the peripheral nerves of the human body and trick the brain into thinking that it is learning fast. It’s A perfect program for government agents and security personnel but it is a very costly, time-consuming and daunting task as it involves everything from learning foreign languages to cryptography.
This past spring, the DOD awarded four companies design grants through the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) program, which is designed to spur the development of technologies not already available in the commercial market.The Pentagon has called for the development of a small, low-cost device (perhaps as cheap as $30) to measure electroencephalography, the voltage fluctuations that occur as neurons fire within the brain. The device would work in conjunction with an app to deliver real-time information on neural activity to a tablet or smartphone.
It’s not the first time the U.S. military has brainstormed ways to tap the inner recess of the mind. In 2008, the DOD awarded $4 million to researchers at Carnegie Mellon University, the University of California Irvine and the University of Maryland to investigate ways people can communicate using brain waves.
According to DARPA, “there is a great need for inexpensive and easy to use neural recording devices” aka a cheap EEG brain electrical activity recording smart app “to allow widespread use by schools and average citizens” because “having EEGs in every classroom in America would engage students in science and technology in a way not previously possible in the field of neuroscience.
As if Government funded Public school and it’s current indoctrination programs were’nt bad enough, Now the Government’s cutting edge Technological development agency want’s to use your children as lab rat’s for developing technologies. New Technologies in America’s classroom’s isn’t necessarily a bad thing in itself. But when the Military’s premier warfighting development agency is leading the charge to acclimate the public to using these technologies then the public should be skeptical. It would be ludicrous to believe that the government is all about spending millions on a completely benevolent fostering of a love of science.
A new study published in Journalism and Mass Communication Quarterly has confirmed that widespread government surveillance causes members of the public to self-censor and police each other. The study looked at the effects on dissenting opinions online after citizens were reminded of government surveillance. Disturbingly it found that nearly all participants suppressed their real thoughts and feelings.
The “spiral of silence” is a well-researched phenomenon in which people suppress unpopular opinions to fit in and avoid social isolation. It has been looked at in the context of social media and the echo-chamber effect, in which we tailor our opinions to fit the online activity of our Facebook and Twitter friends. But this study adds a new layer by explicitly examining how government surveillance affects self-censorship.
NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden, made similar statements in a recent interview. Snowden has revealed that the real reason the government uses mass surveillance on the public, is not to protect them from terrorism, but to brainwash them using social conditioning so that they can assert their control on the population. Snowden argued that terrorism is used as a justification to the public for the existence of these programs. What are the true motivations of programs such as PRISM? According to Snowden they include “diplomatic manipulation, economic espionage, and social control.”
What this study shows is that government surveillance is the lubricant covering the slope that leads down to tyranny. Its chilling effect is only going to result in a more rapid depletion of liberty.
