On this edition of The Geopolitical Report, we examine how the establishment media attempted to manipulate a story about suspected malware found on a Vermont utility company computer. The story prompted The Washington Post and the establishment media to claim Russia is targeting the power grid in the United States, a dubious assertion on the heels of the CIA and FBI declaring Russia hacked the 2016 election. We take a look malware attacks and the number one producer of malicious software and cyber weapons — the National Security Agency. -newsbud.com

On this episode of The Geopolitical Report, we examine the unsubstantiated claim by President Obama, Democrats, and Republicans that the 2016 presidential election was fixed by Vladimir Putin and the Russians.

The Washington Post and The New York Times are leading the charge to delegitimize the election and unseat Donald Trump. Absent from the debate is the fact the CIA has specialized in meddling in foreign elections and has orchestrated coups and assassinations of political leaders for decades.

The NSA, the national security state, and its partners have at their disposal the technology to influence elections, not by changing votes but by using psychological operations and propaganda. The NSA and the CIA are at the forefront of that effort. -newsbud.com

Barry Eisler | Former CIA Agent Says Edward Snowden Revelations Emboldened Apple to Push Back Against FBI | Feb. 25, 2016

Source: democracynow.org



We speak with former CIA agent Barry Eisler about the role of Edward Snowden in raising public awareness about encryption and privacy ahead of the FBI’s push for Apple to break the encryption of the iPhone of one of the San Bernardino shooters.

"So much of Snowden’s revelations were about this very thing. And the fact that the public knows about corporate cooperation with the government now is in part, I think, what has emboldened Apple to push back," Eisler says.

"If we didn’t know about these things, I would expect that Apple would be quietly cooperating. There would be no cost to their doing so." Eisner also discusses his new novel, "The God’s Eye View," which he says is "grounded in things that are actually happening in the world. … I realized I was not going nearly far enough in what I had imagined."- democracynow.org

Rob Joyce | NSA TAO Chief on Disrupting Nation State Hackers | USENIX Enigma Conference 2016

Source: USENIX Enigma Conference youtube



Rob Joyce, Chief, Tailored Access Operations, National Security Agency

From his role as the Chief of NSA's Tailored Access Operation, home of the hackers at NSA, Mr. Joyce will talk about the security practices and capabilities that most effectively frustrate people seeking to exploit networks.

IT WAS THE talk most anticipated at this year’s inaugural Usenix Enigma security conference in San Francisco and one that even the other speakers were eager to hear.

Rob Joyce, the nation’s hacker-in-chief, took up the ironic task of telling a roomful of computer security professionals and academics how to keep people like him and his elite corps out of their systems.

Joyce is head of the NSA’s Tailored Access Operations—the government’s top hacking team who are responsible for breaking into the systems of its foreign adversaries, and occasionally its allies. He’s been with the NSA for more than 25 years but only became head of the TAO division in April 2013, just weeks before the first leaks from Edward Snowden were published by the Guardian and Washington Post.

Joyce acknowledged that it was “very strange” for someone in his position to stand onstage before an audience. The TAO has largely existed in the shadowy recesses of the NSA—known and unknown at the same time—until only recently when documents leaked by Snowden and others exposed the workings of this cabal as well as many of its sophisticated hacking tools.

Joyce himself did little to shine a light on the TAO’s classified operations. His talk was mostly a compendium of best security practices. But he did drop a few of the not-so-secret secrets of the NSA’s success, with many people responding to his comments on Twitter.

William Binney to speak at Whistle Blower Summit in D.C. | July 29, 2015

Source: ruptly.tv



Start time at 8:12 min. 

Former National Security Agency (NSA) intelligence officer William Binney is due to speak at the Whistle Blower Summit in Washington D.C. on Wednesday, July 29.

The whistleblower will take part in a panel entitled ‘Money for Nothing: Why Are American Taxpayers Paying for Surveillance that Doesn’t Work.’ Other participants include director of the Center for Financial Privacy and Human Rights Bradley Jansen, vice president of policy for Campaign for Liberty Norman Singleton and national director of the Liberty Coalition Michael Ostrolenk.

Binney, who resigned in 2001 after working for the NSA for more than thirty years, is an outspoken critic of the agency’s warrantless surveillance. He has been awarded the Sam Adams Associates for Integrity in Intelligence Award in 2015. -Ruptly.tv

The End of Encryption? NSA & FBI Seek New Backdoors Against Advice from Leading Security Experts | July 8, 2015

Source: democracynow.org



FBI Director James Comey is set to testify against encryption before the Senate Intelligence Committee today, as the United States and Britain push for "exceptional access" to encrypted communications.

Encryption refers to the scrambling of communications so they cannot be read without the correct key or password. The FBI and GCHQ have said they need access to encrypted communications to track criminals and terrorists.

Fourteen of the world’s pre-eminent cryptographers, computer scientists and security specialists have issued a paper arguing there is no way to allow the government such access without endangering all confidential data, as well as the broader communications infrastructure. We speak with one of the authors of the paper, leading security technologist Bruce Schneier. -democracynow.org

The practice exposed by National Security Agency whistleblower Edward Snowden could now face limited reforms as the Senate weighs the USA FREEDOM Act, which would require the government to ask phone companies for a user’s data rather than vacuuming up all the records at once. We get reaction from Glenn Greenwald, the Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist who first reported on Snowden’s revelations. -democracynow.org

The Obama administration’s authority to collect Americans’ phone records in bulk will likely expire next week after senators from both parties rejected attempts to extend it. First, the Republican-led Senate rejected a House-passed measure to curb bulk spying by keeping the records with phone companies instead of the government.

The Senate then rejected a bid by Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell to extend the current bulk spying program for two months. The Senate adjourned and will reconvene May 31, the day before the program expires.

In Sweden, he’s wanted for questioning on allegations of sexual misconduct, though no charges have been filed. Earlier this month, Sweden’s Supreme Court rejected his appeal to lift his arrest warrant.

Snowden Docs: NSA Technology Lets Gov’t Generate Transcripts of Private Phone Calls | democracynow.org | May 6, 2015

Source: democracynow.org



A new article by The Intercept details how the National Security Agency is converting people’s private phone conversations into searchable text. According to documents released by NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden, the agency can now automatically recognize spoken words by generating rough transcripts and phonetic representations that are easily stored and combed for information.

The top-secret documents show NSA analysts congratulated themselves on developing what they called "Google for Voice" nearly a decade ago. It remains unclear how widely the spy agency uses its speech-to-text capabilities to transcribe and index U.S. citizens’ verbal conversations. The documents suggest the NSA has frequently used the technology to intercept phone calls — particularly in Iraq and Afghanistan, as well as Mexico — and to monitor international news.
