THE NEWS:
March 26, 2007 -- *Coming this week: A remote pod cast on U.S.
Attorneys firing
scandal.* Also, U.S. and Israeli intelligence officers present in
Bali before
the 2002 terrorist bombings, havoc in the privatized Santiago,
Chile mass transit
system, and Nuclear Pakistan on the brink of a breakup.
March 26, 2007 -- *WMR has been reporting for some time on the
massive theft of
personal data by a covert U.S. intelligence "black bag" program to
populate a
renewed secret Total Information Awareness System series of
databases.* Since
being cut off from funding by Congress in 2003, the T.I.A. has
continued secretly
under the aegis of the Department of Homeland Security and the
National Security
Agency. WMR’s sources in the Intelligence Community have told us
on background
that many of the so-called data thefts are being carried out by
U.S. intelligence
black bag teams operating outside of legal authority.
T.I.A.'s former program director, Iran-contra felon Admiral John
Poindexter,
resigned in August 2003 from the Defense Advanced Research Projects
Agency
(D.A.R.P.A.) Total Information Awareness Office (I.A.O.) after
details of the
project emerged. After Congress cut funding, the I.A.O. was closed
and its logo,
featuring a Masonic "all-seeing eye" atop a pyramid scanning the
earth, was retired.
T.I.A. was an offshoot of Poindexter’s Genoa project, a deep data
mining system
developed by SYNTEK, Inc., a company for which he served as Senior
Vice
President. Poindexter has also worked for other companies engaged
in mass data
surveillance, including Saffron Technology, Inc. and Presearch, Inc.
However, according to Wired magazine, the T.I.A.'s clone has been
developed, in
conjunctions with Poindexter’s former assistants at I.A.O., by the
government of
Singapore, one of the most invasive governments in the world when
it comes to
personal surveillance. The new T.I.A., called Risk Assessment and
Horizon
Scanning (R.A.H.S.), was unveiled. In January, Poindexter joined
the board of
BrightPlanet, a Sioux Falls-based company that markets one of the
most-invasive
data-mining systems in the world and has the U.S. Intelligence
Community as a
priority target in its marketing plans.
Poindexter's Total Information Awareness System is back, with
chopsticks.
BrightPlanet's partners include:
-- Lockheed Martin, the world's largest war profiteer;
-- Factiva, a Dow Jones company that gathers open source news
information;
-- Basis Technology, which extracts "meaningful intelligence from
unstructured
text in Asian, European, and Middle Eastern languages;"
-- Convera, which markets software tools that searches "video,
image, and audio
information, in multiple languages;"
-- ASP Solutions Ltd., which provides "information services with
Internet
Monitoring & Surveillance at the core;"
-- Klinx, which "harvests content from sources throughout the
Internet, including
the Deep Web;" and,
-- Phoenix Global Intelligence Systems, which claims it is
"comprised of
talented, visionary and dedicated individuals from around the globe
who have come
together with common cause. Embracing the forces of globalisation
[sic] and
technology, they embody the very spirit that the enemy seeks to
destroy.
Unrestrained by nationality and not beholden to political leaders,
Phoenix Global
Intelligence Systems represents the future of global security
provision."
Phoenix is composed of 40 "concerned citizens" who monitor the
Internet to look
for terrorists and pass tips on to the government. A cyber-
vigilante group is
more like it -- former C.I.A. Counter-terrorism chief Vince
Cannistraro called
Phoenix's work "a vigilante kind of activity" in an interview last
August with
the Argus (South Dakota) Leader.
Wired reports that two of Poindexter’s chief assistants at I.A.O.,
John Peterson
of the Arlington Institute, and Dave Snowden. Were top consultants
on developing
R.A.H.S. Snowden is Chief Scientific Officer for Cognitive Edge, a
Singapore
company that developed R.A.H.S. The R.A.H.S. system is scheduled
to be deployed
as a massive data mining program by the Singapore government and
will scan data
from medical information to raw surveillance data.
Ominously, the R.A.H.S. roll out in Singapore was attended by four
of the five
ECHELON signals intelligence partner nations: United States,
Australia, United
Kingdom, and New Zealand. In addition, Israel attended the
R.A.H.S. seminar.
Israel and Singapore have become close intelligence and military
partners. Wired
reports that Singapore sent a high-level delegation to the United
States to
discuss R.A.H.S. with officials of the Department of Homeland
Security and the
Directorate of National Intelligence in early March. Patrick Neary,
a former
Senior Executive Analyst for the Army’s Deputy Chief of Staff for
Intelligence
and now the chief strategist for D.N.I. chief Admiral Mike
McConnell, a former
N.S.A. Director, cancelled his meeting with the R.A.H.S. team at
the last minute.
McConnell, after retiring as N.S.A. Director, became a head honcho
at Booz Allen
Hamilton, a major intelligence contractor that has also been
conducting data
mining for the U.S. Intelligence Community, including the joint
N.S.A.-C.I.A.
"First Fruit" database that monitors journalists to identify
government leakers.
The Electronic Privacy Information Center successfully sued the
Department of
Defense over its refusal to provide details of the T.I.A. pursuant
to the Freedom
of Information Act (F.O.I.A.) request. However, since Poindexter
no longer works
for a government agency, as predicted at the time he left the
Pentagon, he became
much harder to track. Now, he has the government of Singapore to
provide him
financial and operational cover for his intrusive Orwellian
technology.
