Sometimes cognitive dissonance, which used to be
called contradiction, rings a gong so loud it knocks you off your chair.
But if you’re an android in this marvelous world
of synthetic reality, you get up, put a smile back on your face, and trudge on…
Let’s see. NSA is the most awesome spying agency
ever devised in this world. If you cross the street in Podunk, Anywhere, USA,
to buy an ice cream soda, on a Tuesday afternoon in July, they know.
They know if you sit at the counter and drink
that soda or take it and move to the only table in the store. They know if you
lick the foam from the top of the glass with your tongue or pick the foam with
your straw and then lick it.
They know if you keep the receipt for the soda
or leave it on the counter.
They know whether you’re wearing shoes or
sneakers. They know the brand of your underwear. They know your shaving cream,
and precisely which container it came out of.
But this agency, with all its vast power and its
dollars…
Can’t track one of its own, a man who came to
work every day, a man who made up a story about needing treatment in Hong Kong
for epilepsy and then skipped the country.
Just can’t find him.
Can’t find him in Hong Kong, where he does a
sit-down video interview with Glenn Greenwald of The Guardian. Can’t find that
“safe house” or that “hotel” where he’s staying.
No. Can’t find him or spy on his communications
while he’s in Hong Kong. Can’t figure out he’s booked a flight to Russia. Can’t
intercept him at the airport before he leaves for Russia . Too difficult.
And this man, this employee, is walking around
with four laptops that contain the keys to all the secret spying knowledge in
the known cosmos.
Can’t locate those laptops. Can’t hack into them
to see what’s there. Can’t access the laptops or the data. The most brilliant technical
minds of this or any other generation can find a computer in Outer Mongolia in
the middle of a blizzard, but these walking-around computers in Hong Kong are
somehow beyond reach.
And before this man, Snowden, this employee,
skipped Hawaii, he was able to access the layout of the entire US intelligence
network. Yes. He was able to use a thumb drive.
He walked into work with a thumb drive, plugged
in, and stole…everything. He stole enough to “take down the entire US
intelligence network in a single afternoon.”
Not only that, but anyone who worked at this
super-agency as an analyst, as a systems-analyst supervisor, could have done
the same thing. Could have stolen the keys to the kingdom.
This is why NSA geniuses with IQs over 180 have
decided, now, in the midst of the Snowden affair, that they need to draft
“tighter rules and procedures” for their employees. Right.
Now, a few pieces of internal of security they
hadn’t realized they needed before will be put in place.
This is, let me remind you, the most secretive
spying agency in the world. The richest spying agency. The smartest spying
agency.
But somehow, over the years, they’d overlooked
this corner of their own security. They’d left a door open, so that any one of
their own analysts could steal everything.
Could take it all. Could just snatch it away and
copy it and store it on a few laptops.
But now, yes now, having been made aware of this
vulnerability, the agency will make corrections.
Sure.
And reporters for elite US media don’t find any
of this hard to swallow.
A smart sixth-grader could see through this
tower of fabricated baloney in a minute, but veteran grizzled reporters are
clueless.
Last night, on Charley Rose, in an episode that left
me breathless, a gaggle of pundits/newspeople warned that Ed Snowden, walking
around with those four laptops, could be an easy target for Chinese spies or
Russian spies who could get access to the data on those computers. The spies
could just hack in.
But the NSA can’t. No. The NSA can’t find out
what Snowden has. They can only speculate.
It’s charades within charades.
This whole Snowden affair is an op. It’s the
kind of op that works because people are prepared to believe anything.
The tightest and strongest and richest and
smartest spying agency in the world can’t find its own employee. It’s in the
business of tracking, and it can’t find him.
It’s in the business of security, and it can’t
protect its own data from its employees.
If you believe that, I have timeshares to sell
in the black hole in the center of the Milky Way.
In previous articles, I’ve made a case for
Snowden being a CIA operative who still works for his former employer. He was
handed a bunch of NSA data by the CIA. He didn’t steal anything. The CIA wants
to punch a hole in the NSA. It’s called an internal turf war. It’s been going
on as long as those agencies have existed side by side.
For example….the money.
Wired Magazine, June 2013 issue. James Bamford,
author of three books on the NSA, states:
“In April, as part of
its 2014 budget request, the Pentagon [which rules the NSA] asked Congress for
$4.7 billion for increased ‘cyberspace operations,’ nearly $1 billion more than
the 2013 allocation. At the same time, budgets for the CIA and other
intelligence agencies were cut by almost the same amount, $4.4 billion. A
portion of the money going to…[NSA] will be used to create 13 cyberattack
teams.”
That means spying money. Far more for NSA, far
less for CIA.
Turf war.
But in this article, let’s stay focused on the
fairy tales, which are the cover stories floated to the press, the public, the
politicians.
We have reporters at the Washington Post and at
The Guardian. We have Julian Assange, the head of Wikileaks. They’re all
talking to Snowden. The NSA can spy on them. Right? Can listen to their calls
and read their emails and hack into their notes. Just like people have been
hacking into the work and home computers of Sharyl Attkisson, star CBS
investigative reporter.
But the NSA can’t do all this spying and then
use it to find Snowden. Just can’t manage it.
So…everybody in the world with a computer has
passwords. The NSA can cut through them like a sword through hot butter. But
Assange and the Post and Guardian and Snowden must have super-special
passwords.
They got these passwords by sending a stamped
self-addressed envelope, along with 25 cents, and a top from a cereal box, to
The Lone Ranger. These passwords are charged with atomic clouds that obscure
men’s minds so they cannot see or spy. They’re immortal and invulnerable.
The NSA can spy on anyone else in the world, but
they can’t get their foot in the door, when it comes to the Post, The Guardian,
and Assange.
And if Snowden winds up in Ecuador, that too
will become an insurmountable mystery.
“Nope, we don’t know where he is. He’s vanished.
Ecuador has a Romulan shield surrounding it. The cloaking technology is too
advanced.”
Perhaps you recall that, in the early days of
this scandal, Snowden claimed he could spy on anyone in the US, including a
federal judge or even the president, if he had their email addresses.
Uh-huh. But the combined talents of the NSA,
now, can’t spy on Snowden. I guess they just can’t find his email address.
Snowden isn’t the only savvy computer kid in the
country. There must be a million people, at minimum, who can cook up email
addresses that evade the reach of the NSA. Yes?
What we have here are contradictions piled on
contradictions piled on lies.
And in the midst of this, a whole lot of people
are saying, “Don’t look too closely. Snowden is a hero and he exposed the NSA
and that’s a wonderful thing.”
And a whole lot of other people are saying, “Snowden
is a traitor and he should be tried for treason or killed overseas. That’s all
you need to know.”
The truth? Well, the truth, as they say, is the
first casualty in war. But in the spying business, the truth was never there to
begin with. That’s one of the requirements of the industry.
“Son, if you think you’ve lied before, you
haven’t got a clue. We’re going to tell you to do things that’ll make your head
spin. That’s the game we’re in. We’re going to make you tell lies in your
sleep.”
And these are the people the public believes.
It’s a beautiful thing. It really is. The fairy
tales are made of sugar and the public, the press, and the people eat them. And
then they ask for more.

This whole thing does seem like a sort of 'limited hangout'.
Just as wiki leaks was... Perhaps.
I have suspected a 'turf war', or shadow civil war of sorts going on was behind everything I have seen come out in the past year. From Benghazi to the purging of 27 Generals, to the Boston massacre, to the recent IRS scandal, to Geithner, and now Bernanke leaving their offices.
I keep hoping Jack Lew is the 'tip of the spear' in bringing much needed reform to a completely broken system. Somehow I see him representing the 'old money' Boston Vault (metals) crowd, while Geithner and Bernanke seem to be shills for the fiat (paper backed) New York banking/mafia groups.
GOD knows this nation is overdue for spiritual cleansing/revival.
Must rid DC of criminal RepublicRats and restore a semblance of decency to this dying nation of ours.
Hope the price of our failings isn't too much for US and the rest of the world to bear.
