French President Francois Hollande told the United States on Monday to
immediately cease spying on European institutions, after reports of
covert US surveillance of EU diplomatic missions.
"We cannot accept this kind of behaviour between partners and allies,"
Hollande told journalists during a visit to the western city of Lorient.
"We ask that this immediately stop."
Hollande said "enough elements have already been gathered for us to ask
for explanations" from Washington about the spying allegations. "There can be no negotiations or transactions in all areas until we have
obtained these guarantees, for France but also for all of the European
Union, for all partners of the United States," Hollande told
journalists.
It was an apparent reference to sensitive trade talks which are set to
start between the US and the EU on creating the world's largest free
trade zone.
"We know well that there are systems that have to be checked, especially
to fight terrorism, but I don't think that it is in our embassies or in
the European Union that this threat exists," he said.
French Minister of Foreign Trade Nicole Bricq said the upcoming talks
on the new trade zone, due to begin next week, could be jeopardised.
"This is a topic that could affect relations between Europe and the United States," she told AFP.
"We must absolutely re-establish confidence... it will be difficult to
conduct these extremely important negotiations," she said.
Hollande said he had asked Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius to get in
touch with US Secretary of State John Kerry immediately "to get all the
explanations and all the information."
German news weekly Der Spiegel reported that the US National Security
Agency (NSA) carried out covert surveillance on EU diplomatic missions,
basing its report on confidential documents, some of which it had been
able to consult via fugitive US leaker Edward Snowden.
The European Union, Paris and Berlin have angrily demanded answers over the allegations.
What happend to Michael Hastings? The revelation that Rolling Stone journalist Michael Hastings was working on a story about the CIA before his death and had contacted a Wikileaks lawyer about being under investigation by the FBI hours before his car exploded into flames has bolstered increasingly valid claims that the 33-year-old was assassinated.
Hastings died last week in Hollywood when his car hit a tree at high speed.
According to a prominent security analyst, technology exists that could've allowed someone to hack his car. Former U.S. National Coordinator for Security, Infrastructure Protection, and Counter-terrorism Richard Clarke told The Huffington Post that what is known about the single-vehicle crash is "consistent with a car cyber attack."
Clarke said, "There is reason to believe that intelligence agencies for major powers" — including the United States — know how to remotely seize control of a car.
"What has been revealed as a result of some research at universities is that it's relatively easy to hack your way into the control system of a car, and to do such things as cause acceleration when the driver doesn't want acceleration, to throw on the brakes when the driver doesn't want the brakes on, to launch an air bag," Clarke told The Huffington Post. "You can do some really highly destructive things now, through hacking a car, and it's not that hard."
It's possible that Hastings car was hacked considering the people he had written about in his past and what he recently had been talking about.
Kathleen Fisher from DARPA recently did a presentation on the ease of hacking a standard American sedan. Volvo started the SARTRE (Safe Road Trains for the Environment) program in 2009 and they are now reporting that their testing has been "successfully completed." Hacking of a lemmings train like Volvo's, could lead to massive collisions on the roads and there should be major security concerns considering what recently has been learned. source
As a presidential candidate, Barack Obama promised transparency and
open government yet his administration is one of the most closed
governments in US history, described as being worse than even the Nixon
administration.
The technology and information revolution allows the government to
cast its net wider than ever before; collecting data, watching, spying
and analysing. As revelations of systemic snooping continue to hit the
headlines, Empire asks: who is watching the watchers?
Just when more people open up about their private lives through social media, the government becomes ever more intrusive.
With more than 1,300 government surveillance and monitoring facilities in the United States, Empire
looks to understand why so many government programmes are top secret.
Why is secrecy and surveillance becoming such big business? And, is a
national security state anything new?
We discuss whether state secrets really work, the rationale behind
them, and examine what the world might be like without secrets.
As Empire
explores the ultimate secret of secrets, the implicit conclusion that
emerges is that secrecy in government is counterproductive. It is not
only terribly damaging to the democratic process, but also, in the
long-run, to the very objective of national security.
Joining us
as we unpack some of the known unknowns are Oscar-winning film director
Oliver Stone, and war reporters Jeremy Scahill and Richard Rowley.
We unravel the psychology of secrets with psychiatrist Justin Frank, the author of Obama on the Couch and Bush on the Couch. We look at the impact of state secrets brought to light with Dana Priest, a leading Washington Post investigative reporter on national security and author of two books, including her most recent Top Secret America: The Rise of the New American Security State.
They may be arrested, or Obama may be impeached, but at this point, I don't think it will matter much.
Their arrests, or at the very least, Obama's Impeachment may also just be a ploy to keep the sheople following the big government; while the Shadow Government of the 1% Elites continue their agenda.
Right now, there are more and more people that are opening their eyes to what is going on, and unrest is beginning to form. If the Shadow Government allows these arrests, or trials, or impeachment to occur, that will just be another way to calm the uprising that is beginning to boil in the people's blood. They will attain control, calm the crowds, rock many citizens back to sleep with their mainstream news propaganda, and continue with their agenda.
Obama is just a figurehead puppet for them, as many other governmental leaders of countries around the globe are, and until we realize this, their agenda will continue to move forward, no matter who is in the Presidential seat.
It no longer matters who is in the Presidential seat... All a President, or Prime Minister, or any other country leader is, is a puppet for the Real Government; the Shadow Government. The Upper 1%... The Elites... These are the sociopaths that are really in control. They are forming their New World Order, and sadly, most of us don't fit into their 'order.' Pointing fingers at our leaders is just what they want; that keeps our focus away from them: the Shadow Government that is REALLY in control. As long as they humor us, with possibly allowing us to take down Bush and Obama, they can continue to commit their heinous crimes against us, in secret, continuing to use us as their serfs, until our usefulness is no longer needed.
This face has become a hero's face for American's rights of privacy
Edward Snowden, former intelligence analyst for the National Security Agency, has been charged with espionage, by the U.S. Government.
So... ...they are charging him with doing his job well?
After all, he worked as an intelligence analyst for the world's biggest spying agency that is spying on not only everyone in the USA, but inadvertently the whole world.
espionage es·pi·o·nage [es-pee-uh-nahzh] noun ...the act or practice of spying.
Example sentences: 1. Cobb runs a dream team of mindbending espionage agents, true inside operators. 2. It is difficult to provide evidence of espionage, given its secretive manner. 3. The disclosure comes amid heightened fears of state-sponsored espionage.
Origin: late 18th century: from French espionnage, from espionner 'to spy', from espion 'a spy'
Espionage, or in layman's terms: spying was his job!
An N.S.A. spokesperson astonished his audience when announcing the espionage (spying) charges against Snowden; completely unaware of the absurdity of the charge, and he announced the charge holding a perfectly straight face.

He said, “These charges send a clear message [that] in the United States, you can’t spy on people.”
He went on to speak of the other charge of theft of Government Documents, saying, “The American people have the right to assume that their private documents will remain private and won’t be collected by someone in the government for his own purposes.” “Only by bringing Mr. Snowden to justice can we safeguard the most precious of American rights: privacy…” WHAT???

Was this sarcasm, or a complete mockery of the Government he works for?
Seriously, couldn't they have cooked up something better to charge him with? Maybe Treason? Oh... Wait! That would be what our government is committing on us...when they break our Constitutional laws, by using the N.S.A.'s espionage intelligence analysts in their spying of every move, email, text, phone call, and literally everything that we do in privacy.
There are nearly 5 million people in the United States with security
clearance, and any one of them could be the next Edward Snowden or
Bradley Manning.
So what -- if anything - are intelligence agencies
doing to better keep their secrets. And, might more whistleblowing be
just thing to convince more Americans that massive domestic surveillance
isn't the best way to keep us safe.

Of all of Barack Obama‘s crimes against the American people this is the worst.
What Obama is doing to the U.S. military puts hundreds of millions of lives and the survival of the entire West at stake.
by Maj. Gen. Patrick Brady
As incompetence, deception, duplicity and dishonesty
become the hall marks of the Obama administration, it is important that
we not lose sight of the greatest danger posed beyond these serial
scandals: the feminization, emasculation and dismantling of our
military. The two most important elements of national survival are the
media and the military; one keeps us free and the other keeps us secure.
We know the media are failing – God help us if the military does also.
We may be able to fix the government in 2014. Fixing the military is
more problematic.
Let’s begin with Benghazi. It is incomprehensible that any
commander, let alone the commander in chief, would go AWOL during a
crisis such as Benghazi, but he was. In the midst of the massacre of our
ambassador and three heroic Americans, President Obama was nowhere to
be found. He did manage to surface, too late for the massacre, to meet a
campaign commitment the next day. But, before retiring, we are told he
turned the crisis over to his underlings, including the military. What
we learned about our military leadership during that crisis should alarm
all Americans.
The demise of our military of course begins with the commander in
chief, but he can’t do it alone. He has to have willing sycophants and
he has had them in the civilian and military leadership at the
Department of Defense. The indifference of the people and military inexperience in Congress are
contributing factors. The military disasters are a form of gradualism.
Look at the changes under Mr. Obama. We cannot focus on these changes
enough.
Our military is suffering unprecedented rates of suicide and
PTSD. Obama’s sequestration will cut benefits to veterans as well as
damage readiness. (There has been a 2000 percent increase in backlog for
veteran assistance in four years!) We now have a quad-sexual military
with all the health, readiness and moral issues that come with exalting
sodomy. Sexual assault is at an all-time high. Women will be tasked to
lead bayonet charges. As a result of the sex scandals, Congress is now
looking to curtail the military’s ability to discipline, another tribute
to the lack of leadership in the military and lack of military
understanding in Congress.
Billions of defense dollars are unaccounted for. Christianity is
under military attack, and Bibles have been burned to appease Muslims.
(References to God and Jesus are forbidden at Arlington, chaplains will
be forced to perform homosexual “marriages,” and Bibles and religious
item are forbidden to the wounded at Walter Reed, etc.)
We have a new doctrine for crisis: “Don’t deploy forces into
harm’s way without knowing what’s going on.” Therefore, no Normandy or
Inchon. In other words, don’t go until the crisis/massacre is over.
Their default position is don’t go, period. The military leadership,
after the terrorist massacre at Fort Hood, outrageously lamented the
effect it would have on diversity – and equally outrageously labeled it
workplace violence denying the victims and their families the benefits
they deserve.
There have been unprecedented security leaks, and China is
electronically in bed with us. They even lost the graves of our warriors
at Arlington. I could go on, but it should be clear that all of the
above is the result of a leader who knows not the difference between a
corps and a corpse and is both indifferent to and unknowledgeable of
military readiness. And as bad, the military leadership is complicit in
these disasters. (As a further tribute to their ineptitude, they have
actually considered combat-level medals for warriors not shooting and
desk-bound computer operators, medals that were the laughingstock of
veterans.)
But given that the president tasked the military to act in the
Benghazi crisis, what did they do? Indefensibly, they did nothing, they
did not even try! No obstacle, no doctrine, nothing can defend not
trying, never mind the risk, to save fellow Americans. Were they under
orders to sit on their a– and let their fellow Americans die? In my 34
years of military service involving many crises, I never knew of one
without an after action report (AAR), in which each and every action was
put under a microscope to identify those responsible for the results be
they good or bad. Congress, the media, someone should demand the AAR on
Benghazi. It must exist. Who ordered the stand down? Who said sit on
your a–? Why no hearing on this?
Just as the way forward for America is a return to the morality
and values of the past, so too must the military return to the readiness
standards and common sense of the past. We can survive in a relatively
valueless society – but only with a strong and ready military. Sadly the
military is mirroring society – the goal of Mr. Obama and progressives –
and will soon be impotent. Once the progressives have a helpless
military they no longer need to explain why they didn’t go; they can say
we are unable to go. Progress is not the path we are on; true progress
is the path to our past. The other scandals may be more glamorous and
outrageous (such as lying about Benghazi before the coffins of those
massacred by terrorists, enemies’ lists and assaults on the First
Amendment) but what Mr. Obama is doing to our military is more grave.
