Writing The Snowden Files: 'The paragraph began to self-delete' One day last summer – a short while after Edward Snowden revealed himself as the source behind the momentous leak of classified intelligence – the Guardian editor Alan Rusbridger got in touch.
Would I write a book on Snowden's story and that of the journalists working with him? The answer, of course, was yes. At this point Snowden was still in Hong Kong. He was in hiding. He had leaked documents that revealed the US National Security Agency (NSA) and its British equivalent GCHQ were surveilling much of the planet. Our conversation took place not in Alan's office but in an anonymous sideroom at the Guardian's King's Cross HQ. I was part of a small team that examined Snowden's documents in a secure fourth-floor room overlooking Regent's Canal. Downing Street's response to Snowden's leak was initially slow – then strident.
There were curious moments in New York, too, from where many Snowden stories were reported. 10 Signs The Global Elite Are Losing Control. Image Credit / True Activist By: Eric Blair,Activist Post.
Karma is coming for the elite in a big way. As the Powers That Be head toward a devastating defeat in their war plans for Syria, signs are emerging that their rule over humanity is rapidly diminishing. Over the last decade the global elite have been on a mad dash to consolidate power over the world. It’s always been their plan like some evil villain in a comic book, but after 9/11 the plan went into overdrive and then turbo charged during the financial crisis of 2008. Yet it’s doomed to fail because humans are meant to be guided by their own free will, not controlled like livestock. Although the elite still enjoy a huge wealth advantage over the masses, they are now resigned to behaving like tyrants to maintain control. People are waking up in droves, at least as fast as the elite can build their full-spectrum prison matrix.
Police Reject Candidate for Being Too Intelligent. This is not the first time I’ve seen a story like this, it is apparently typical hiring policy for police in many areas.
Let’s face it, they want a dumbed-down police force that’s just smart enough to follow orders. We just can’t have our police thinking too much or questioning procedure! This story says that the average I.Q. for a cop is 104, if that is accurate it means there are thousands of police with I.Q.’s in the 80-100 range. 1942 'Battle Of Los Angeles' Biggest Mass Sighting In History? Five years before Roswell, five years before pilot Kenneth Arnold's landmark sightings of "flying saucers" in the Pacific Northwest, 3 years before the Battle of the Bulge, two years before D-Day, and years before the so-called "modern UFO era" had officially begun, there was the Battle of Los Angeles, arguably the most sensational, dramatic UFO mass encounter on record.
Have you ever heard of the Battle of Los Angeles? Few have. Imagine a visiting spacecraft from another world, or dimension, hovering over a panicked and blacked-out LA in the middle of the night just weeks after Pearl Harbor at the height of WWII fear and paranoia. Imagine how this huge ship, assumed to be some unknown Japanese aircraft, was then attacked as it hung, nearly stationary, over Culver City and Santa Monica by dozens of Army anti-aircraft batteries firing nearly 2,000 rounds of 12 pound, high explosive shells in full view of hundreds of thousands of residents.
Battle of Los Angeles. The Battle of Los Angeles, also known as The Great Los Angeles Air Raid, is the name given by contemporary sources to the rumored enemy attack and subsequent anti-aircraft artillery barrage which took place from late 24 February to early 25 February 1942 over Los Angeles, California.[1][2] The incident occurred less than three months after the United States entered World War II as a result of the Japanese Imperial Navy's attack on Pearl Harbor, and one day after the Bombardment of Ellwood on 23 February.
Initially, the target of the aerial barrage was thought to be an attacking force from Japan, but speaking at a press conference shortly afterward, Secretary of the Navy Frank Knox called the incident a "false alarm. " Newspapers of the time published a number of reports and speculations of a cover-up. Some modern-day UFOlogists have suggested the targets were extraterrestrial spacecraft.[3] When documenting the incident in 1983, the U.S. Alarms raised[edit] Press response[edit] Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression. Originally Thirteen Techniques for Truth Suppression by David Martin Strong, credible allegations of high-level criminal activity can bring down a government.
When the government lacks an effective, fact-based defense, other techniques must be employed. The success of these techniques depends heavily upon a cooperative, compliant press and a mere token opposition party. Dummy up. Wikileaks reveals "TrapWire," a government spy network that uses ordinary surveillance cameras. It's one thing to have single actions out of context being watched by various people, it's quite another to have every action watched by a handful of people.
The former keeps you from performing a suspicious action, the latter keeps you from having a suspicious lifestyle. I wonder if people agree with this because cameras are such an abstraction. Would it seem just as okay if a government agent was waiting for you outside your door to follow you around your daily life? Tailing your car, noting what you read on the subway, recording your conversations with people? Is that okay as long as he doesn't follow you into your house? But I already exist in a world that includes other people. Private investigators follow people around in public. The World Trade Center Fires. First you need to know that the north tower of the World Trade Center suffered a very serious fire on February 13, 1975.
