Stuxnet Worm: Orchestrated by What State?

If this computer-virus-as-weapon was “almost certainly orchestrated by a state,” we ask: What state has a history of espionage in the US and strong opposition to Iran’s nuclear program?

THE MEMORY STICKS were scattered in a washroom at a US military base in the Middle East that was providing support for the Iraq war.

They were deliberately infected with a computer worm, and the undisclosed foreign intelligence agency behind the operation was counting on the fallibility of human nature. According to those familiar with the events, it calculated that a soldier would pick up one of the memory sticks, pocket it and – against regulations – eventually . . . → Read More: Stuxnet Worm: Orchestrated by What State?

Facebook: Data Mining for the CIA?

Facebook has a half billion people enthusiastically spying and reporting on their friends, family, and neighbors.

by Andrew Wozny

DARPA (the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency) has some grotesque tentacles: the Information Awareness Office (IAO); TIA (Total Information Awareness, renamed Terrorism Information Program); and TIPS (Terrorism Information and Prevention System).

It is commonly believed that in 2003 an irate American people forced the government to stop these Orwellian command-and-control police state operations—or did they?

Congress stopped the IAO from gathering as much information as possible about everyone in a centralized nexus for easy spying by the United States government, including Internet activity, credit card purchase . . . → Read More: Facebook: Data Mining for the CIA?

9/11: Did Israel Know?

by Kevin Alfred Strom

ON DECEMBER 21st, 2001, investigative reporter Carl Cameron of the Fox News Channel filed a report on the detention of sixty Israeli spies by F.B.I. and other government investigators looking into the events of September 11th, some of whom were suspected of having prior knowledge of the attacks. According to the report, over 140 intelligence operatives for the Jewish state, many posing as “Israeli art students,” and some as street and mall kiosk vendors, had been detained earlier in the investigation, which began prior to September 11th. These 200 Israeli spies were considered to be just the tip of the iceberg of a “very aggressive” Israeli intelligence . . . → Read More: 9/11: Did Israel Know?

Israel Leverages Peace Talks to Free “Most Devastating” Spy in US History

by Philip Giraldi (pictured)

LET US SUPPOSE for a moment that an individual enjoying the full confidence and trust of the US government was given access to the most secret information possessed by the US military, to include how it would react to an attack by an aggressor armed with nuclear weapons and ballistic missiles.

Let us further suppose that that individual violated his trust in the most egregious and vile fashion, offering to sell the information to anyone, but eventually settling on a nation ostensibly friendly to the US but not in any way a formal ally. The individual then proceeded to . . . → Read More: Israel Leverages Peace Talks to Free “Most Devastating” Spy in US History

Israeli Spies Target Pennsylvania

by Michael Collins Piper
An open letter to Congress and the President

IT’S A SCANDAL (or it should be) of national—even international—proportions. But in Pennsylvania, where the news first reverberated, few understand the bigger ramifications: The ongoing furor has—just barely—kicked open the door of a hitherto secret house of horrors in which a whole host of spooks are lurking.

Exposed was yet another instance of Israeli spying on American soil. Adding insult to injury is the fact— revealed in Pennsylvania—that American tax dollars are being channeled to Israeli intelligence operations to spy on American citizens engaged in lawful political activity.

House Democrats: Free Jewish Spy

MEMBERS OF CONGRESS have sought to drum up support for a proposal for President Barack Obama to free a U.S. Navy analyst imprisoned since 1985 on charges of relaying classified data to Israel.

Members of the Democratic majority have been circulating a letter that called for the release of Jonathan Pollard (pictured). The letter called on Obama to free Pollard in an effort to promote peace talks between Israel and the Palestinian Authority….

The letter was drafted in late September and organized by Rep. Barney Frank, Rep. Bill Pascrell, Rep. Edolphus Towns and Rep. Anthony Weiner, Middle East Newsline reported. The House Democrats asserted that clemency for Pollard would demonstrate U.S. support . . . → Read More: House Democrats: Free Jewish Spy
