Mysterious Dark Skyscraper in NYC Exposed as Major NSA Spy Hub in Partnership with ATTBy Justin Gardner A menacing gray skyscraper,known as the Long Lines Building to New Yorkers, assumed to be nothing more than an ATT hub, is one of the most important surveillance facilities of the National Security Agency (NSA). An investigation by The Intercept found that the Project X building constructed to withstand an atomic blast and house and feed 1,500 people for two weeks is host to the NSA as it works with ATT conducting mass surveillance. Documents obtained by The Intercept from the NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden do not explicitly name 33 Thomas Street as a surveillance facility. However taken together with architectural plans, public records, and interviews with former ATT employees conducted for this article they provide compelling evidence that 33 Thomas Street has served as an NSA surveillance site, code-named TITANPOINTE. Inside 33 Thomas Street there is a major international gateway switch, according to a former ATT engineer, which routes phone calls between the United States and countries across the world. A series of top-secret NSA memos suggest that the agency has tapped into these calls from a secure facility within the ATT building. The Manhattan skyscraper appears to be a core location used for a controversial NSA surveillance program that has targeted the communications of the United Nations, the International Monetary Fund, the World Bank, and at least 38 countries, including close U.S. allies such as Germany, Japan, and France. The skyscraper, which is a looming dark shadow unlit at night, was designed by John Carl Warnecke, a prominent architect in government circles, including the U.S. Navy and embassy complexes. Warneckes Project X was borne of a secret program code-named BLARNEY that began in the 1970s, where NSA began developing commercial partnerships for spying activities, according to a newly published Snowden document. It was likely used to target anti-Vietnam War activists and a host of domestic terrorist and foreign radical suspects such as Martin Luther King and certain American journalists. A Congressional inquiry in 1975 found the NSA invaded privacy and violated Constitutional rights, which resulted in the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act meant to rein in the agencys abuses. BLARNEY remained a critical part of NSAs electronic intercept capabilities at least into 2013, when Snowden revealed the program. BLARNEY leverages commercial partnerships in order to gain access and exploit foreign intelligence obtained from global networks, the document states. It carries out full take surveillance a term that refers to the bulk collection of both content and metadata under six different categories: counterproliferation, counterterrorism, diplomatic, economic, military, and political. TITANPOINTE is one of three core sites of the BLARNEY program. There it links to ATT routers and operates powerful satellite antennae on the roof, which vacuum up internet data passing through foreign satellites in another secret programs known as SKIDROWE. It is unclear whether NSA can directly tap in to ATTs communications at will, but the telecom giant has long been a willing partner to the surveillance state. As early as 1976, ATT was shielded from scrutiny by President Ford, who called the company an agent of the United States acting under contract with the Executive Branch. The NSA talked of ATTs extreme willingness to help in collecting billions of emails, at a time when revelations of domestic surveillance and warrantless wiretapping gripped the nation. This is yet more proof that our communications service providers have become, whether willingly or unwillingly, an arm of the surveillance state, said Elizabeth Goitein, co-director of the liberty and national security program at the Brennan Center for Justice. The NSA is presumably operating under authorities that enable it to target foreigners, but the fact that it is so deeply embedded in our domestic communications infrastructure should tip people off that the effects of this kind of surveillance cannot be neatly limited to non-Americans. The dark, foreboding look of TITANPOINTE fits well with its long history of rights violations, in the name of advancing U.S. hegemony through war-making and economic and political sabotage.

An article on Snowjob and Ebay billionaire NSA-loving French-born Pierre Omidyars news front The Intercept that concludes the Black Phallus spy edifice Titanpointe is all about advancing US hegemony?.despite the fact the same Kabal pulling Omidyars and Snowjobs strings recently transferred US control over the internet to ICANN for UN control under global governance. Omidyar and Silicon Valleys top echelons are financially backing Singapore based Lenddo, a software firm developing algorithms to introduce Chinas Orwellian Social Credit Score system to the rest of the world. Thank you very much for the information. We plebs are a series of equations that can predict our response to stimuli, in a similar manner to breaking down species into ever smaller groups. The Internet of Things is on the horizon. Development kits have been and are available from Intel. Youre welcome and excellent observation of the reductionist scientism mindset, mere cogs, Pavlonian Skinner machines to be programmed as TPTB see fit no soul, morality, or humility = equations. Should be able to collapse by fire too! Lol!! Good one. Yea, they better look for a legal way to remove all their asbestos in it. Isengard Iron fortress.
