Die voortvlugtige Amerikaanse spioen Edward Snowden het ontken dat hy geheime dokumente aan Rusland of China gegee het.
Die voormalige spioenagentskap-kontrakteur het al die geklassifiseerde dokumente wat in sy besit was, aan joernaliste gegee wat hy in Hongkong ontmoet het. Hy het daarna na Moskou gevlieg, het Snowden aan die New York Times gesê.
Rusland het in Augustus tydelike asiel aan Snowden toegestaan. Hy het nie die dokumente na Rusland geneem nie, “want dit sou nie in openbare belang wees nie”.
Snowden beweer ook hy het die dokumente van die Chinese intelligensiedienste weerhou omdat hy geweet het waartoe hulle in staat is.
“Daar is geen kans dat die Russe of Chinese enige dokumente ontvang het nie.”

The owner of a secure email service (Lavabit) which Snow-den used shut down the service after being forced to release the secure keys to his site to the FBI, exposing all 410,000 users to FBI’s resulting ability to read all email routed via Lavabit.
The system does not work, pointing to the paradox that you have to report wrongdoing to those most responsible for it. If he had tried to sound the alarm internally, he would have been discredited and ruined and the substance of his warnings would have been buried forever. Dieselfde situasie heers ook in ander lande in die algemeen en in SA in besonder.
The CIA has a secret ally in its controversial drone strikes program that kills suspect terrorists around the world: the National Security Agency. New documents leaked by Edward Snowdenreveal that the NSA’s Internet surveillance and hacking capabilities in fact play a crucial role, as reported by The Washington Post.
The NSA contributes to efforts to hunt down terrorists with a wide variety of cyber-espionage tools. Sometimes, they intercept Internet traffic and emails; other times, its elite hackers team — the Tailored Access Operations division — hacks into a target’s computer to intercept files, chat logs and even record keystrokes.

The role of the intelligence agency in the drone program had not been previously reported, and the scoop reveals the existence of the “Counter-Terrorism Mission Aligned Cell,” or CT MAC, the NSA’s unit that focuses on collecting intelligence to aid the CIA’s drone strikes.
It’s unclear, however, if the NSA’s two most controversial programs revealed over the summer — Internet communications snooping program PRISM and the telephone metadata collection program — have played any role in the operations’ support of drone strikes.
In any case, the documents leaked by Snowden underline the effectiveness of the NSA’s operations.
Just one single operation may lead to a treasure trove of documents
Just one single operation may lead to a treasure trove of documents.
In one operation, the NSA obtained files that could be used to help the NSA map the movement of terrorists and aspiring extremists in Yemen, Syria, Turkey, Egypt, Libya and Iran. Another single penetration yielded 90 encrypted al-Qaeda documents, 16 encryption keys, 30 unencrypted messages and “thousands” of chat logs, the Post reported, citing an inventory contained in a document leaked by Snowden.
The NSA also carries out cyber-espionage on its targets using malware and compromised software with nicknames such as “UNITEDRAKE” and “VALIDATOR.”
Another document, titled “CT MAC Hassan Ghul Success,” reveals how the CIA, with the help of the NSA, tracked down Ghul, an associate of Osama bin Laden. He was killed in October 2012, the documents state. The United States government has never admitted ordering a drone strike to kill him.
The Washington Post tells the story of Ghul’s death in striking detail, revealing that an intercepted email was the key clue that led to his death. You can read the full report here.

American Biblical scholar Joseph Atwill will be appearing before
the British public for the first time in London on the 19th of October to
present a controversial new discovery: ancient confessions recently uncovered
now prove, according to Atwill, that the New Testament was written by
first-century Roman aristocrats and that they fabricated the entire story of
Jesus Christ. His presentation will be part of a one-day symposium entitled
“Covert Messiah” at Conway Hall in Holborn (full details can be found
athttp://www.covertmessiah.com).Although
to many scholars his theory seems outlandish, and is sure to upset some
believers, Atwill regards his evidence as conclusive and is confident its
acceptance is only a matter of time. “I present my work with some
ambivalence, as I do not want to directly cause Christians any harm,” he
acknowledges, “but this is important for our culture. Alert citizens need
to know the truth about our past so we can understand how and why governments
create false histories and false gods. They often do it to obtain a social
order that is against the best interests of the common people.”Atwill
asserts that Christianity did not really begin as a religion, but a
sophisticated government project, a kind of propaganda exercise used to pacify
the subjects of the Roman Empire. “Jewish sects in Palestine at the time,
who were waiting for a prophesied warrior Messiah, were a constant source of
violent insurrection during the first century,” he explains. “When
the Romans had exhausted conventional means of quashing rebellion, they
switched to psychological warfare. They surmised that the way to stop the
spread of zealous Jewish missionary activity was to create a competing belief
system. That’s when the ‘peaceful’ Messiah story was invented. Instead of
inspiring warfare, this Messiah urged turn-the-other-cheek pacifism and
encouraged Jews to ‘give onto Caesar’ and pay their taxes to Rome.”
3.
Was Jesus based on a real person from history? “The short
answer is no,” Atwill insists, “in fact he may be the only fictional
character in literature whose entire life story can be traced to other sources.
Once those sources are all laid bare, there’s simply nothing left.” Atwill’s
most intriguing discovery came to him while he was studying “Wars of the
Jews” by Josephus [the only surviving first-person historical account of
first-century Judea] alongside the New Testament. “I started to notice a
sequence of parallels between the two texts,” he recounts. “Although
it’s been recognized by Christian scholars for centuries prophesies of Jesus
appear to be fulfilled by what Josephus wrote about in the First Jewish-Roman
war, I was seeing dozens more. What seems to have eluded many scholars is that
the sequence of events and locations of Jesus ministry are more or less the
same as the sequence of events and locations of the military campaign of
[Emperor] Titus Flavius as described by Josephus. This is clear evidence of a
deliberately constructed pattern. The biography of Jesus is actually
constructed, tip to stern, on prior stories, but especially on the biography of
a Roman Caesar.”How could this go unnoticed in the most scrutinised books
of all time? “Many of the parallels are conceptual or poetic, so they
aren’t all immediately obvious. After all, the authors did not want the average
believer to see what they were doing, but they did want the alert reader to see
it. An educated Roman in the ruling class would probably have recognized the
literary game being played.” Atwill maintains he can demonstrate that
“the Roman Caesars left us a kind of puzzle literature that was meant to
be solved by future generations, and the solution to that puzzle is ‘We
invented Jesus Christ, and we’re proud of it.'”
4.
Is this the beginning of the end of Christianity? “Probably
not,” grants Atwill, “but what my work has done is give permission to
many of those ready to leave the religion to make a clean break. We’ve got the
evidence now to show exactly where the story of Jesus came from. Although
Christianity can be a comfort to some, it can also be very damaging and
repressive, an insidious form of mind control that has led to blind acceptance
of serfdom, poverty, and war throughout history. To this day, especially in the
United States, it is used to create support for war in the Middle East.” Atwill
encourages skeptics to challenge him at Conway Hall, where after the
presentations there is likely to be a lively Q&A session. Joining Mr.Atwill
will be fellow scholar Kenneth Humphreys, author of the book “Jesus Never
Existed.” Further information can be found at http://www.covertmessiah.com. About Joseph

Qui vive! Hier volg die grootste geheim ooit. The calendar we use today marks the life of Jesus Christ as the beginning of a new chapter in Western civilization, a new era inspired by the Christ’s message of love, charity, humility, peace, and justice. But established history tells us that Christianity became entangled in politics, wealth, violence, and empire because the institutional religion strayed from the moral teachings of its founder. How did it go so wrong? The latest in Biblical scholarship has now uncovered new evidence that provides a disturbing explanation: Christianity never strayed; Jesus Christ is a fabricated cover story for an Imperial psychological warfare operation born out of the First Jewish-Roman War in the first century. Far-fetched and absurd? The quality of the evidence we’ll be presenting may surprise you. Joseph Atwill explains, “This is really important for our culture…”
AN EXPOSE ON CHRISTIANITY WHOSE TIME HAS COME.
Join us for a one-day symposium that will provide a unique insight into how the ruling classes, from the Caesars of the past to the public relations firms working for governments and high finance today, have maintained power and an unending stealth class war by weaponising our own imagination against us. This is sure to engage not just students of religion and history, but also those interested in psychology, politics, and social justice. In attendance will be our guest speakers Joseph Atwill and Kenneth Humphreys. We are also proud to feature the European premiere of the groundbreaking documentary Caesar’s Messiah: The Roman Conspiracy to Invent Jesus directed by Fritz Heede.
Qui vive!

Yank says:Ten years ago this month, the insurgency in Iraq was just beginning — and we’d only spent a fraction of the more than $800 billion we would spend on the war. Bush’s War (2008) tells the epic story of how we got there — and what happened next.
One of my favorite filmmakers, Ricky Lea cock, said that documentary’s most important power is to instill the feeling of “being there.” Bush’s War is a perfect example of “being there” – in this case, behind closed doors at the Bush White House during the defining moments of the Iraq War. Director Michael Kirk (League of Denial, Top Secret America) and editor Steve Audette re-create the intense scenes of bureaucratic warfare that played out against the backdrop of chaos on the ground, weaving an urgent yet timeless story about the American politics and realities of war.
