NSA Chief Lies to CongressStephen Lendman He does both globally. Hes a serial lawbreaker. He violates fundamental constitutional law. He testified before Congress. More on that below. Edward Joseph Snowden revealed what vital to know. He exposed unconstitutional spying. He said more. He accused NSA of lawless hacking. He knows. He was there. He revealed what he saw firsthand. On June 14, Russia Today headlined Snowdens asset: NSA hacking exposer knows secrets China wants, saying: Hes currently in Hong Kong. Hes a wanted man. Washington wants him extradited, arrested, prosecuted, disappeared or murdered. He fears for his safety. According to the Chinese daily Global Times: The US is accumulating all the advanced powers of the Internet to forge a state-level fist in order to launch cyber attacks on other countries. The unparalleled power of this fist is beyond our imagination, which should be an alarm bell for us to catch up with the development of the internet. On June 14, the South China Morning Post headlined Edward Snowden: Classified US data shows Hong Kong hacking targets. The primary issue of public importance to Hong Kong and mainland China should be that the NSA is illegally seizing the communications of tens of millions of individuals without any individualised suspicion of wrongdoing. They simply steal everything so they can search for any topics of interest. Exposure demonstrated (Americas) hypocrisy and arrogance on matters regarding cyber warfare. On June 12, the Wall Street Journal headlined NSA Director Says Data Programs Foiled Plots, saying: Classified US government data shown to the South China Morning Post by whistle-blower Edward Snowden has provided a rare insight into the effectiveness of Washingtons top-secret global cyberspying programme. New details about the data can be revealed by the Post after further analysis of information Snowden divulged during an exclusive interview on Wednesday in which the former CIA computer analyst exposed extensive hacking by the US in Hong Kong and the mainland. In testimony before Senate Appropriations Committee members, NSA Director General Keith Alexander defended the indefensible. He lied doing so. He falsely claimed NSA spying foiled dozens of terror plots. He didnt elaborate on the attacks that were stopped, other than to tie them to two well-known foiled 2009 plots. More on them below. No such plots existed. They were invented. Innocent victims were falsely accused. No verifiable evidence shows any plots were foiled on Alexanders watch. Hes been NSA chief since August 1, 2005. His claims dont wash. He committed perjury. Hes guilty on multiple counts. Dont expect recrimination against him. Key Senate members are fully briefed. Theyre complicit in state crimes. So are many other congressional members. Post 9/11, Washington declared war on Islam. Muslims became Americas enemy of choice. Theyve been wrongfully vilified and dehumanized as terrorists. So-called terror plots are fake. None existed earlier. None exist now. Dozens of innocent men and women were falsely charged, prosecuted, convicted and given long prison terms. Expect more innocent victims persecuted ahead. Alexander referred to Najibullah Zazi and David Coleman Headley. Justice Department officials claimed Zazi received bomb-making instructions in Pakistan, purchased components of improvised explosive devices, and traveled to New York City on September 10 (2009) in furtherance of his criminal plans. No evidence whatever supported government accusations. Zazi got no bomb-making instructions. He planned no crimes. His so-called ingredients included hydrogen peroxide, acetone and hydrochloric acid. He bought them at a beauty shop. He did so legally. Anyone can buy the same things. Hydrogen peroxides a common bleaching agent. Its a mild disinfectant. Acetones an inflammable organic solvent. Its used in nail polish remover, plastics and for cleaning purposes. Hydrochloric acids used in oil production, ore reduction, food processing, pickling, metal cleaning, and over-the-counter eye lubricants, among other applications. Its found diluted in stomachs. Zazis alleged plot was fabricated. Authorities claimed he planned to attack New York commuter trains and/or other high-profile New York targets. No motive was explained. None existed. No legitimate evidence surfaced. None was presented. Innocence is no defense. Zazi was declared guilty by accusation. According to Justice Department officials, Healy was guilty of a dozen federal terrorism crimes relating to his role in planning the November 2008 terrorist attacks in Mumbai, India, and a subsequent proposed attack on a newspaper in Denmark. No verifiable evidence links him to any crimes. CIA, Mossad, Indias Research Analysis Wing (RAW, and perhaps Pakistans ISI were behind twelve coordinated shooting and bombing Mumbai attacks. They were false flags. DOJ officials fabricated charges against Healy and others. Hes innocent but guilty as charged. Thousands of political prisoners rot in Americas gulag. Media scoundrels pronounce guilt before trial. They do so in the court of public opinion. They support the worst state crimes. They violate core journalistic ethics. They it unapologetically. They betray their readers, viewers and listeners in the process. Post-9/11, dozens of Muslims were falsely convicted of terrorism and/or conspiracy to commit it. Alexanders claims about NSA spying foiling plots and keeping America safe dont wash. On June 12, Londons Guardian headlined Senators press NSA director for answers on secret surveillance program. It was more show-and-tell than holding Alexander accountable. Congress is fully briefed on whats ongoing. Key members know the worst of it. Permitting it makes them complicit. FBI Director Robert Mueller lied like Alexander. In testimony before House Judiciary Committee members, he claimed spying could have foiled 9/11. It will prevent another Boston, he said. Both incidents were state-sponsored false flags. Mueller didnt explain. House members didnt ask. Perhaps they know and dont need to. Maybe key House and Senate members are briefed in advance of US-staged terror plots. Mueller claims watering down spying leaves America vulnerable. If you narrow (the scope of surveillance), you narrow the dots and that might be the dot that prevents the next Boston, he said. America has no enemies except ones it invents. Mueller lied to Congress. He committed perjury like Alexander. He remains unaccountable. Hes stepping down in September. Perhaps hell accept a high-paying private sector job. Most exiting US officials do so. Americas war on terror continues. Doing so reflects war on humanity. Obama represents the worst of rogue governance. Accountability is sorely lacking. Fundamental laws are spurned. Diktat power rules. No ones safe anywhere. Tyranny and permanent wars define Obamas agenda. Ravaging humanity continues. Unchallenged dominance alone matters. Thermonuclear war is possible. All bets are off if it happens. Imagine a worst case scenario. Imagine not going all out to prevent it.
