Official White House Spying Panel Implies that It Might Be …
Hidden
in the report which the White House panel on NSA released today
is a stunning implication: that the U.S. government has been
using its massive
offensive cyber capabilities to change the
amounts held in financial accounts and otherwise manipulating
financial systems.
Specifically, the panel’s report states (page
221):
(1) Governments should not use surveillance to steal industry secrets to advantage their domestic industry;
(2) Governments should not use their offensive cyber capabilities to change the amounts held in financial accounts or otherwise manipulate the financial systems ….
The
government certainly massively
manipulates the economy and financial system.
There are already numerous examples of
offensive cyber actions by the NSA:
- A high-level intelligence source said, “we hack everyone everywhere”
- The largest German newspaper – Süddeutsche Zeitung – alleges that the U.S. government helped Monsanto attack the computers of activists opposed to genetically modified food
- Edward Snowden says that NSA spying is used for “diplomatic manipulation”
- And we’ve long noted that the U.S. government manipulates social media and news through cyber manipulation
As spying expert Trevor Timm from the
Electronic Frontier Foundation Tweeted (and Glenn Greenwald –
who has seen the Snowden documents – re-tweeted):
Does this NSA report recommendation imply that NSA is conducting offensive cyber attacks against financial systems?
Remember,
the NSA is tapping into and spying on the biggest financial payments
systems such
as VISA and Swift.
Top
financial experts say that the NSA and other intelligence agencies
are using information gained from spying to profit from
this inside information.
And the NSA wants to ramp
up its spying on Wall Street … to “protect” it.
Whose money, exactly, is the NSA “protecting”
… and how are they protecting it?
What
about the money of people that the U.S. government
considers undesirables?
