The Guardian: NSA collected US Email Records in Build For More than Two Years Under Obama
June 27, 2013

Summary: More secret documents obtained by The Guardian reveal a detailed timeline of events from inside the federal government leading up to the implementation of the data–mining PRISM program and this month’s other groundbreaking disclosures. This latest article, along with this companion piece, reveals that the Stellar Wind program – started in the months following 9/11 (see GAP clientsBill Binney and J. Kirk Wiebe) to collect and create chains of users’ online metadata – continued for at least two years under the Obama administration. While that program has ended, additional documents suggest that the NSA launched a new communication analysis program as late as December 2012. 

The email metadata collection being revealed is significantly more intrusive on Americans’ private lives than toll records or telephone metadata. According to the article:
"The calls you make can reveal a lot, but now that so much of our lives are mediated by the internet, your IP [internet protocol] logs are really a real-time map of your brain: what are you reading about, what are you curious about, what personal ad are you responding to (with a dedicated email linked to that specific ad), what online discussions are you participating in, and how often?" said Julian Sanchez of the Cato Institute.

"Seeing your IP logs – and especially feeding them through sophisticated analytic tools – is a way of getting inside your head that's in many ways on par with reading your diary," Sanchez added.

GAP National Security & Human Rights Director Jesselyn Radack responded to the most recent Guardian article here.


The new documents also show that the 2004 hospital room confrontation between then-Attorney General John Ashcroft and acting Attorney General James B. Comey (now President Obama’s nominee for FBI head) had to do with the legality of NSA surveillance.

These documents vindicate former AT&T technician and whistleblower Mark Klein, whose 2006 disclosure to Wired magazine alleged that the telecom company passed domestic and international online user data to the NSA.


The New York Times: The Criminal NSA
June 27, 2013

Summary: An op-ed from two prominent law professors challenges the federal government's contention that the recently revealed domestic surveillance programs are legal, saying they "violate both the letter and the spirit of federal law." The piece picks apart the rationale provided thus far by federal officials seeking to justify a constitutional violation.

Key Quote: The government claims that under Section 215 [of the Patriot Act] it may seize all of our phone call information now because it might conceivably be relevant to an investigation at some later date, even if there is no particular reason to believe that any but a tiny fraction of the data collected might possibly be suspicious. That is a shockingly flimsy argument — any data might be “relevant” to an investigation eventually, if by “eventually” you mean “sometime before the end of time.” If all data is “relevant,” it makes a mockery of the already shaky concept of relevance. 

NBC: Obama – Not “Scrambling Jets’ To Get Leaker Snowden
June 27, 2013

Summary: President Obama, speaking in Senegal yesterday, said he would not be “wheeling and dealing” with China and Russia in order to extradite “29–year–old hacker” Snowden. The President also mentioned his concern that Snowden may continue to release top-secret documents to the press and has urged both Russia and Ecuador – where Snowden has filed his request for asylum – to “recognize that they are part of an international community” and extradite Snowden to the US.

GAP National Security & Human Rights Counsel Kathleen McClellan, speaking with Ian Masters, responded to the President’s remarks by saying, “I think it’s a case of classic whistleblower retaliation. Institutions often focus on the messenger rather than the message … the fact that the story is about Mr. Snowden rather than that the government has been spying on innocent Americans … is evident of just how anti–whistleblower the culture has become in the national security state.”

New Yorker: Demonizing Edward Snowden – Which Side Are You On?
June 24, 2013

Summary: This analysis of the media response to Edward Snowden and the impact of his disclosures attempts to reach the core of the world’s reaction to the NSA whistleblower. To do this, the editorial points out that Snowden’s disclosure created no serious threat to national security, and therefore reactions to Snowden’s behavior and actions must be much more personal than political. The article also uses a quote from NSA whistleblower/GAP client Thomas Drake as its core argument in support of Snowden. 



Key Quote“I consider Edward Snowden as a whistle-blower. I know some have called him a hero, some have called him a traitor. I focus on what he disclosed. I don’t focus on him as a person. He had a belief that what he was exposed to—U.S. actions in secret—were violating human rights and privacy on a very, very large scale, far beyond anything that had been admitted to date by the government. In the public interest, he made that available.” – NSA whistleblower/GAP client Thomas Drake

Washington Post: Protections for Pending Federal Whistleblower Cases
June 27, 2013

Summary: In a landmark victory for whistleblowers, the Merit Systems Protection Board has ruled that the provisions of the Whistleblower Protection Enhancement Act (WPEA) signed into law last year will be applied to whistleblower cases filed within the agency before the legislation became law. 



Key Quote: “This is a major victory for whistleblowers,” said Tom Devine, legal director of the Government Accountability Project, a nonprofit group. “We all should be grateful to the Merit Systems Protection Board majority for leadership restoring credible whistleblower rights to pending challenges of retaliation, not merely new harassment. The ruling will have a professional life-or-death impact in numerous pending cases. It also means the WPEA will control newly-filed challenges to harassment that occurred while passage was delayed through secret Senate holds for eight years.”

The gods that be

So the gods that be are angry with me,,

I'm getting my ass slammed, and my perps use stupid LICENSE PLATES TO COMMUNICATE WITH ME.. How is this done you ask? 

The car can be parked or a drive by, they do both.

Well you are triggered, it can be general , humorous or a threat.  Certain letters and numbers have meaning,,,for instance 4 refers to my family I live with, 9 is canine, and I am 54, or 46, s or c mean see, and T means town and L means leave. I have been seeing a lot of LV's lately.   Meaning they want me to leave town,, this is childish but effective.  These people are mentally ill.

 When the stupid childish locals want to get a message across they use this and it has been very very threatening as is the pulsing, they seem to go in cycles.  They hit you hard and then lay off, and let you rest and feel normal for a day or two or a week , then they make up some shit you do, or you try something else,, a walk or a ride on your bike and they slam you again. 

I also think this is synchronized with other Ti's,, I know 2  TI's in NY who are getting slammed as well. It may be others too.
Seems like I pissed off the powers that be, but I  give up on that theory, because they have been doing this so long it is their cycle. Not mine. I do not think it matters a rat's ass what I do , they just do what they do anyway. They just try to synchronize it with some behavior. Don't ask me why I do not know nor do I give a shit to speculate.  I have peeled back the skull of the rich and insane and all I find is insanity, torture and death.  That seems all these fucks have to offer. Good things are far and few between and used as a treat when they feel you have kissed their ass or feet enough or carried out your task , whatever that is, and did a good job..Fuck you, I hate your guts.

After all we are dealing with the real insane here. Real psychopaths. Those who have those weapons and devices feel they are gods, they can do anything and the real bad and sad part of that is they can. As long as they have the secrets to all these weaponry we are helpless. We can only fight back with low tech, but that might work as well. You know burn them out, use other means I will not mention here. 
One other thing this cycle seems to be triggered for me with my application to GAP.. (past post)  maybe GAP asked questions in all the right places. because this full story of my harassment is not here. I have left out a major component of names , those in power, and those who are major players in this story. They have these weapons and punish me when ever they feel necessary. So I do not mention them here..I think they are the one's who broke my grandson's arm.  I have been warned.


FRAZIER AND JARVIS

The other night I was HSS to watch this local program on politics, I have not watched this in a long time, it's a call in show.  Run by a Dick Jarvis, who was married to rep, Joyce Spiliotis who died last Nov.  her eulogy is on Dick's Facebook page,, Her last name is Burns which stunned me, for Scott Burns,  who worked for Eastman Gelatin was responsible for much of my harassment when all this started, , another log on the pile. Everyone in this town is connected and related in one way or another. 

Anway,, Frazier lives to my left,, he works for the local quarry. When I first moved here I was getting pulsed wicked, hit and tossed out of my bed. I thought I would be dead. I complained to Dick and he told me he sent the police to the residence and what he was told is that how I was being pulsed is because of a game, the pulsing stopped. This was my first inclination that the xbox or wii could be used in an other manner than a game and I have seen this happen. 

My other neighbor Cherie, jewish girl,, lots  of anxiety expels it through her chatter as is common with people put under stress. She has a back closed in porch and her TV, an old big one is on the corner of her porch, facing sideways to my house. I saw her son on it playing some game and the sparks from the TV were traveling out of  porch, to across the street to my house. Exactly where my bed is. I know these games run on microwave and after the pulse passes through the TV where does it go? Can it be intensified or manipulated or changed to become a device of harassment.  I stood for a few minutes and watched him play and the spark go across the street to my bedroom. I mentioned this to her, she said nothing and the next time I walked by her shades were drawn. I do not know if her shades were drawn for privacy or security or what. 

I do not know if she knew the capability of all this, I think she does, for the other night I was walking down our walk in front of her house and felt and saw a beam of energy,,,, aimed at,,, it looked like my neighbors house and my house. Or somewhere in between, as I looked up and saw it they shut it down so they were aware of my actions.  This came from Cherie's house. Her husband is a mechanical engineer and the guy next door is an electrical engineer, he works for the feds and David who lives up the street, is best friends with Jeremiah, (Cherie's husband) and David works for the city. So they do have the expertise and knowledge to create or convert some of these devices to weapons.
To bad I'm the target.

I think the killing of michael hastings scared much of the press/media,,, but they are part of the problem, they did not inform us of the weapons, they used them instead, they kept this secret. Now it may be to late, back in 97,,we still had a chance, maybe, but now,,, I wonder if we can go anywhere with this. Alda read in Ants talkshoe call not recorded,, 141846 last night, about our spying on everyone in Europe, no one is surprised this just makes it public,.. we may not have any friends,,,, welcome to my world.
My neighbors could of been my friends, but they hate me and are perps against me, maybe the rest of the world will do that to us, I hope not. Things are scary and crazy at this time. Lou Dobbs,,, has a list on his show about all the nasty derogatory names he could call President Obama... thats a first.
