Booz Allen Hamilton Finds Inspiration in the Arts. Ralph W. Shrader Patrick O’Herron Patrick O’Herron interviewing Dr. Ralph W. Shrader, Chairman & Chief Executive Officer of Booz Allen Hamilton. 1. The arts inspire, provoke thought, spur creativity, and connect us in a shared experience. 2. Externally, there is a positive brand affinity and visibility that comes from association with respected museums and arts organizations, as well as favorable recognition in the community for helping to make possible quality exhibitions and performances.

Internally, we’re able to offer employee benefits; such as Family Days at museum exhibitions, a lottery for free tickets to musical and dance performances, live lectures, and on-line communities devoted to the arts. In 2007, we sponsored Edward Hopper, at the National Gallery of Art, which drew more than 360,000 people to see one of the largest ever retrospectives of the American realist’s work free of charge. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8.

The first, about US spying on EU embassies we already covered. The second one seemed bigger, but it also might have just made things murkier. It involves the Washington Post releasing four more slides about the PRISM program from that original slide deck that already had 5 of its 41 slides revealed in previous leaks.

These slides show a lot more details about PRISM. First up, here are the slides (sorry visitors from the Defense Department): Things break down when people start to analyze these slides. Another thing that's not entirely clear: the Washington Post annotations claim that the "FBI DITU," the "Data Intercept Technology Unit" (DITU), is on the premises of the companies listed as a part of PRISM -- but all of the companies have pretty strenuously denied this. It's entirely possible that the Washington Post's interpretation of these slides is accurate. NSA Deception Operation? Questions Surround Leaked PRISM Document’s Authenticity | Monolithik. Source: Global Research Intelligence services have been feeding false information to known enemy informants in their own ranks for a long time, and they are very good at it.

Today, the potential whistleblower is one of the most dangerous informants an intelligence service can confront. Was Edward Snowden spotted before he decided to leak documents, and set up by the NSA? Substantial evidence supports the possibility that he was. Numerous questions cast doubt on the authenticity of the Power Point slide show describing PRISM, but the UK Guardian has not seen fit to release it to the public. Perhaps Glenn Greenwald should anonymously leak this file: In the words of Snowden himself, “The public needs to decide.”

Was Edward Snowden under surveillance at intelligence contractor Booz Allen in advance of releasing the PRISM document? In the wake of the Wikileaks scandals, the U.S. intelligence community has answered “Who shall watch the watchmen?” Questioning The Document The logos of major U.S. Revealed: US spy operation that manipulates social media | Technology. The US military is developing software that will let it secretly manipulate social media sites by using fake online personas to influence internet conversations and spread pro-American propaganda. A Californian corporation has been awarded a contract with United States Central Command (Centcom), which oversees US armed operations in the Middle East and Central Asia, to develop what is described as an "online persona management service" that will allow one US serviceman or woman to control up to 10 separate identities based all over the world.

The project has been likened by web experts to China's attempts to control and restrict free speech on the internet. Critics are likely to complain that it will allow the US military to create a false consensus in online conversations, crowd out unwelcome opinions and smother commentaries or reports that do not correspond with its own objectives. OEV is seen by senior US commanders as a vital counter-terrorism and counter-radicalisation programme.
