Pompeo supports the National Security Agency's surveillance programs

Pompeo denounced NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden's inclusion in the South by Southwest conference in Austin, Texas, and called for Snowden's invitation to speak via telecast at the annual Texas event to be withdrawn, lest it encourage "lawless behavior" among attendees

DEATH SENTENCE 'DUE PROCESS'

2016, Pompeo said Snowden "should be brought back from Russia and given due process, and I think the proper outcome would be that he would be given a death sentence."

Pompeo:

" ...  Legal and bureaucratic impediments to surveillance should be removed. That includes Presidential Policy Directive-28, which bestows privacy rights on foreigners and imposes burdensome requirements to justify data collection."

Pompeo opposes closing Guantánamo Bay detention camp.

2013 visit to the prison, Pompeo said, of the prisoners who were on hunger strike,
   "It looked to me like a lot of them had put on weight."

JULIAN ASSANGE


INCUMBENT NATIONAL SECURITY DIRECTOR, MIKE POMPEO:

introduces concept of NON-STATE INTELLIGENCE SERVICE


Doesn't an 'intelligence service' denote a STATE INTELLIGENCE SERVICE?

What could be a 'non-state intelligence service'?


POMPEO - says WikiLeaks is one of these things.

Is what WL does - OR human rights groups OR media organisations - is in some ways similar to 'intelligence services'

The answer is, yes, AND ABSOLUTELY:  NO.

  • Investigative reporters
  • Investigating human rights groups
  • Organisations like Intercept, Propublica and all the serious media that consider national security journalism

    are all involved in

    • DEVELOPING SOURCES
    • PROTECTING SOURCES
    • VERIFYING what is obtained from sources
    • ANALYSING what is obtained from sources
    • COORDINATING internally what is obtained from sources

    -- and intelligence agencies also do all that.

    The equivalent of the CIA in Germany is the BND, or Bundesnachrichtendienst.

    The literal translation of Bundesnachrichtendienst (BND) is:  THE FEDERAL NEWS SERVICE.

    Bundes = federal
    Nachrichten = news
    Endienst = service


    Similarly, in the CIA under Obama about six (6) years ago, the CIA introduced a change as to how it writes its internal reports to use the same style that journalists use to write articles, called the 'INVERTED PYRAMID STYLE', where you basically put the conclusion up top and then you justify how you got to the conclusion.

    So there are similarities between news services and intelligence services.

    BUT it ends with what happens with the results of the research.

    So, publishers PUBLISH, whereas STATE INTELLIGENCE AGENCIES keep the information CONCEALED and USE it for the ADVANTAGE of their organisation, for their particular POLITICAL connections or MILITARIES, for OTHER INTELLIGENCE AGENCIES, and so on.

    For the CIA to say that investigative media organisations and publishers are the same as an INTELLIGENCE SERVICE, is as ridiculous as it is to say that the CIA is a MEDIA ORGANISATION.

    There are similarities in the sourcing in relation to both, BUT in terms of what the organisations then do with the information is completely different.

    - worked as an election monitor in eastern Europe


    It seems like the use of the term - it's a term of ART - I don't think [POMPEO] used it to demonise; I think he used it to CATEGORISE, to create a NEW CATEGORY out of thin air, that would enable the US government to go after WikiLeaks in a much more military sort of way.


    JULIAN ASSANGE
    WIKILEAKS:

    Yes, absolutely.


    DANIEL McADAMS
    - head of Ron Paul Institute for Peace and Prosperity
    - foreign policy expert
    - worked for many years on Capitol Hill
    - worked as an election monitor in eastern Europe


    As the ACLU noted, never has a publisher in the history of the United States been prosecuted for revealing truthful information.

    So it seems to me that the key is to REMOVE THE IDEA that you're a PUBLISHER and call you something different.

    And I think the battlefield right now is probably in US PUBLIC OPINION:  turn that first against WikiLeaks and then see what happens.

    Does that make sense?


    JULIAN ASSANGE
    WIKILEAKS:

    I think POMPEO's speech came about partly as a response to an OpEd I wrote for THE WASHINGTON POST, [discussing] why WikiLeaks does its work and so on.

    It might have been coming anyway.

    He was in LONDON the day before and on the Wednesday he then returned to the UNITED STATES; he gave this SPEECH late on a Thursday evening, before Easter Friday.

    It was actually quite hard to respond to in the media.

    And, from that kind of media analysis point of view, it was well timed.

    The CIA has been deeply humiliated as a result of our ongoing VAULT 7 publications.

    So this is a pre-emptive move by the CIA to try and discredit our publications and create a new category for WikiLeaks and other national security reporters to STRIP them of FIRST AMENDMENT PROTECTIONS, by defining the organisation as something that fits into existing interpretations:  so, you can surveil and engage in certain actions on "HOSTILE INTELLIGENCE SERVICES".

    That's throughout different pieces of US regulation, that you don't need search warrants and so on authorised by a judge, if what you're intercepting or surveilling is connected to an organisation that is an "INTELLIGENCE SERVICE" that is influencing someone.

    So, to CREATE this NEW CATEGORY of "NON-STATE INTELLINGENCE  SERVICE" can then be very easily applied to ANY MEDIA ORGANISATION  - "NON-STATE", of course means commercial organsation or a non-profit organsation.

    I think it's a long-term strategy.

    It's taking two bites of the apple:

    1.  to REDEFINE MEDIA as "NON-STATE INTELLIGENCE SERVICES";

    2.  to use a perverse JURISDICTIONAL ARGUMENT, which is to say that all foreign reporters have no FIRST AMENDMENT RIGHTS.

    Of course, the FIRST AMENDMENT is not a positive right.

    It doesn't, generally speaking, give [ASSANGE] or, in fact, anyone else, a positive right; it's an obligation to the government to give ... a right:  it's a LIMITATION ON THE GOVERNMENT that LIMITS its ability to INTERFERE with FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION or of the PRESS, in order to create the necessary environment of PUBLIC DEBATE which can STOP AUTOCRACY developing within the UNITED STATES.

    I've seen a lot of misleading assumptions by even some of our supporters - a lot on the kind of nationalist right - going:  well, look,we all like you, but, of course, the US CONSTITUTION does not apply to you in AUSTRALIA and in LONDON.

    That completely misreads it.

    The US CONSTITUTION applies to the CIA in Langley, Virginia, and every US GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEE and all the ACTIONS that they might take in relation to actions initiated against WIKILEAKS.

    And, of course, WIKILEAKS has lots of AMERICAN EMPLOYEES - we're a GLOBAL ORGANISATION, etc.

    RON PAUL:

    The other thing POMPEO was doing - and we've touched on this - that because you're not an AMERICAN CITIZEN, you don't have the rights.

    But our constitution wasn't written to protect CITIZENS; it's for the persons who are exposed to our COURTS.

    And, therefore, this accusation that you have no rights, you're not even an American citizen and therefore you don't qualify, I think a lot of people believe that AND THAT HAS TO BE REFUTED.

    The other charge that they've been throwing out - and I'm sure you've answered to this already, but I think it's important because I don't know whether it's just propaganda on their part or they think that they can get somewhere - but that you're 'different' than THE WASHINGTON POST and the NEW YORK TIMES; [that] you're not a PUBLISHER because you're a participant in obtaining this information, and they've thrown that out there.

    But I just want to hear how you answer that charge.


    JULIAN ASSANGE
    WIKILEAKS:

    Well, it's completely FALSE.

    They've tried this in the trial of CHELSEA MANNING in 2013, and it failed; it was NOT accepted by the MILITARY COURTS.

    They attempted to use it in order to get an extra charge up against the then BRADLEY MANNING (now CHELSEA MANNING), and did not succeed, and the evidence that they tried to present was really pitiful. 

    It was that in 2009, WikiLeaks had a web page, and on that web page we had collected nominations from police, private investigators, journalists etc, about what kind of documents they'd be most interested in seeing come to the public.

    That was called the "WIKILEAKS MOST WANTED 2009".

    It wasn't something that we had asserted that 'we' wanted; it was collecting a list of what other people said that THEY wanted and, of course, that included all sorts of documents - and the US government argued that there was one of the types of documents that was on that page, CHELSEA MANNING has subsequently leaked to us and therefore this was some kind of 'conspiracy'.

    So, it's really very indirect and didn't stand up in the case.

    But, of course, the average NATIONAL SECURITY REPORTER is engaged in a MUCH CLOSER RELATIONSHIP with their SOURCES, cultivating them over a long period of time, speaking to them - when a source says, "You know, I heard that this terrible thing happened ... "; and then the reporter goes:  "Well, that's interesting.  But can you prove it?  Do you have a document about it?"

    So, POMPEO - and it looks like the DOJ [Dept. of Justice] - is trying to REDEFINE that kind of conversation that occurs every day between journalists and their sources, as 'conspiracy' to commit 'espionage' and therefore OUTLAW it.

    Julian, you mentioned earlier on, the strange coincidence of the new assault on WikiLeaks with the VAULT 7 releases.

    Why is the CIA so upset about these VAULT 7 releases?


    JULIAN ASSANGE
    WIKILEAKS:


    Well, go back for a little while.

    You know, in the DEMOCRATICALLY ALIGNED PRESS, like THE WASHINGTON POST and CNN, this assault on us by the CIA and, apparently, the DOJ [Dept. of Justice], is being FRAMED as a TRUMP ADMINISTRATION initiative, but the reality is that this was going on under OBAMA for YEARS AND YEARS.

    That's why I have ASYLUM here.  There was a PENTAGON WAR ROOM of more than 120 people - publicly admitted - operating 24/7, back in 2010;  and then a very large FBI inquiry:  spraying out search warrants; trying to install informers; bribing people; flying people to Washington; [FBI] flying ILLICITLY plane-loads of FBI officers to ICELAND to interrogate people, etc.

    Extremely large.

    Now, because of the  POLITICAL RELATIONSHIP that the DEMOCRATS have with their base, by about two thousand and ... not long after I had asylum - so about mid 2012, they perceived that it did not benefit them POLITICALLY to talk the case up.

    But a lot was happening beneath the surface and continued to happen.

    Now this new REPUBLICAN ADMINISTRATION, perhaps because of the nature of the Republican base and because of the rhetorical assaults about them being approximate to RUSSIA, have now decided that it benefits them POLITICALLY to TALK UP the conflicts with WIKILEAKS and the DOJ [Dept. of Justice].

    So that's why it's been raised up so much.

    The other reason is, yes, the CENTRAL INTELLIGENCE AGENCY (CIA) and the VAULT 7 publications.

    Well, we have published previous documents about the CIA.

    But only only, you know, maybe ten (10) or twenty (20) documents previously.

    It's very rare to see an actual fresh document leaked from the CIA, with CIA letterhead.  Extremely rare.

    There's reports about some CIA official said something, or it may be a printed line in a document in a document seen by a journalist ...

    But for an actual document, it's extremely rare.

    Now, VAULT 7 is the largest ever series of publications about the CENTRAL INTELLIGENCE AGENCY (CIA) in its history -- hundreds, thousands, of times larger than anything that has appeared before and it is on track to be the LARGEST INTELLIGENCE PUBLICATION EVER.

    So that is, of course, DEEPLY HUMILIATING to the CENTRAL INTELLIGENCE AGENCY (CIA) and its RELATIONSHIPS TO OTHER INTELLIGENCE AGENCIES, like MI6, and in its relationship with, say, the NATIONAL SECURITY AGENCY (NSA) and with the FBI.

    So it's a way to get away from that HUMILIATION and, of course the PUBLIC and TECH COMPANIES are also don't like it very much because we've REVEALED that the CENTRAL INTELLIGENCE AGENCY (CIA) created an ENORMOUS HACKER FORCE [that] produced HUNDREDS OF VIRUSES which it then went around hacking and installing in people, developing methods to install these in cars and telephones and probably LOST CONTROL close to the WHOLE LOT of them - and covered it up.

    So, LOST CONTROL of all this flowing around some INTELLIGENCE CONTRACTORS at the very least, and they covered it up. 

    So they didn't tell APPLE or MICROSOFT or other AFFECTED members of INDUSTRY about it, and the PUBLIC, of course, wasn't told. 

    It is quite interesting if it was also CONCEALED from President OBAMA.

    Anyway, so they have quite a lot to be concerned about in terms of POSSIBLE PROSECUTION OF CIA OFFICERS; DE-FUNDING of certain parts; general LOWERING OF PRESTIGE.

    And the CIA is a very INCOMPETENT organsiation.  I mean, this is the organisation that - let's look at it: 

    the CIA is the organisation that gave us

    * [the ILLEGAL INVASION of] IRAQ;
    * AL-QAEDA;
    * the destruction of democracy in IRAN;
    * PINOCHET;
    * the destruction of LIBYA;
    * the effective rise of ISIS;
    * and the SYRIAN CIVIL WAR.


    So this is an organisation that goes around engaging in actions which are either DEEPLY INCOMPETENT or which, even from the perspective of AMERICAN POWER, are COUNTER to its PURPOSES.


    RON PAUL:

    Julian, your opponents aren't too difficult to understand if you once realise that, from my viewpoint, I don't think they're interested in the TRUTH nor the LAW and they are interested in PROPOGANDISING a certain POSITION in order to PROMOTE some POLITICAL VIEWPOINT.

    But, you know, just recently you had an interview with [SEAN] HANNITY on FOX, which I found pretty fascinating.

    I don't know what your opinion is of that, but I thought it was positive and it's interesting that FOX had this on their program.

    How did you see this?  Did you see this as an advantage to you, to at least get your side out in an audience that might be back and forth on the issue?

    JULIAN ASSANGE
    WIKILEAKS:

    Yeah, just like publishing OpEds in THE WASHINGTON POST is now possible because THE WASHINGTON POST is lined against the TRUMP ADMINISTRATION and we now have a conflict in relation to the TRUMP CIA, so when that channel opens up, yes, we do it, because we reach an audience that we wouldn't necessarily normally reach.

    Same with FOX.

    Certain channels opened up there, because of CONFLICTS between the TRUMP ADMINISTRATION and the FBI administration and the CIA.

    It looks like CIA essentially won now.

    So that was important.

    People like HANNITY and SARAH PALIN have been accused of being hypocrites because they made some negative comments about WIKILEAKS before; we published SARAH PALIN's E-MAILS in 2008 - so you can understand why she might have been a bit annoyed - but she said I should be hunted down like the TALIBAN back in 2010 - and a few months ago, she APOLOGISED.

    Is she a 'hypocrite' or did she learn something and do the right thing?

    Maybe she's both.  I don't know.  But I see that as something positive.

    Regardless of what someone's previous position was, if they've now come to a better position, they should be applauded for coming to that better position.

    DANIEL McADAMS
    - head of Ron Paul Institute for Peace and Prosperity
    - foreign policy expert
    - worked for many years on Capitol Hill
    - worked as an election monitor in eastern Europe


    I'm constantly fascinated by the relationship between WIKILEAKS and the MAINSTREAM MEDIA (MSM).

    You mentioned THE WASHINGTON POST, and they've of course accused WIKILEAKS of being:

    "... It's core mission is not transparency but undermining US national security, if they gladly publish ..."

    your documents.

    But I think the thing that we haven't addressed yet that I think is very important, and I'm sure you're aware of this, it's the ONGOING DEMONISATION OF RUSSIA in the UNITED STATES.

    Anyone who QUESTIONS THE NATIONAL SECURITY STATE is an 'agent of Putin'; TRUMP is an 'agent of Putin'; we're all 'agents of Putin' if we don't go along with this business, but THE WASHINGTON POST - especially its editoral page - which, as you know, has a very NEOCONSERVATIVE bent, under FRED HYATT - it talks about WIKILEAKS has "close ties with RUSSIA's INTELLIGENCE SERVICES"; this was 'proven' by the INTELLIGENCE COMMUNITY's REPORT about the DNC 'hack'.

    Of course, we know about the DNC 'hack' - that the forensic investigation was done by an organisation called CROWD STRIKE.

    THE WASHINGTON POST wrote about that quite a bit.

    But, strangely enough, when CROWD STRIKE was DISCREDITED a couple of weeks ago, THE WASHINGTON POST neglected to mention that part.

    So maybe you can address these charges that WIKILEAKS is 'colluding with RUSSIAN intelligence services.


    JULIAN ASSANGE
    WIKILEAKS:

    Yeah, it's very mischievous to see that in certain media.  That, of course, is FALSE.

    But there's NO ALLEGATION - NO OFFICIAL ALLEGATION - from the US GOVERNMENT that there is ANY evidence of WIKILEAKS 'colluding' with RUSSIA, or EVEN that WIKILEAKS 'is colluding' with RUSSIA but they can't find the evidence.

    That simply doesn't exist and, in fact, it has been STATED MULTIPLE TIMES.

    BARRAK OBAMA in his last speech said that there was NO EVIDENCE of WIKILEAKS 'colluding' with RUSSIA.

    JAMES COMEY, within the last MONTH, has stated that if the RUSSIANS did anything with WIKILEAKS they didn't do anything directly with WIKILEAKS, unlike DNC LEAKS and GUCCIFER 2.0.

    AND JAMES CLAPPER - the DIRECTOR OF NATIONAL INTELLIGENCE, under OBAMA  - STATED just before the TRANSITION that the US INTELLIGENCE COMMUNITY had NO insight into how WIKILEAKS obtained its publications; when it obtained them; or the FREQUENCY or TIMING as to how we did our publications.

    So there you have it DIRECTLY from BARACK OBAMA and from the head of the FBI and the head of the NATIONANL INTELLIGENCE that there's no collusion that they can discern between WIKILEAKS and the RUSSIAN state.

    25:31

    So when you see reportage in the MEDIA suggesting otherwise, this is something that is EVEN going BEYOND what US intelligence is saying.

    I don't think US INTELLIGENCE is particularly credible.

    We all know that they're not particularly credible and they definitely have an ANGLE that they want to push for, particularly for their own POLITICAL and INSTITUTIONAL reasons.

    But they're NOT saying that WIKILEAKS 'colluded' with RUSSIA in any way.

Syria - US Ambassador to UN Samantha Power - Monstrous Lies

Samantha Power Slams Russia's 'Support' For Assad, Downplays ISIS Threat
Written by Daniel McAdams

Monday September 14, 2015

More evidence that the current "Russia invaded Syria" media frenzy is a Washington-engineered psy-op to provide cover for a final US push against Bashar al-Assad, is provided in today's outburst from US Ambassador to the UN Samantha Power, the fuel injector in the neocon "regime change" engine.

While the US has conducted more than 2,500 airstrikes against ISIS in Syria over the past year to very little effect, Power has taken to warning Russia that its claimed "military deployment" to Syria is "not a winning strategy."

One can only imagine the guffaws in Moscow over the architect of the US interventionist fiascos in Libya and Syria advising anyone on how to craft a winning foreign policy strategy. But Power, evidently utterly incapable of seeing the world as those of us in the reality-based community see it, takes to revising history to provide "evidence" for her Russia advice.  [... lol]

Power repeats on CNN today the old discredited claim that Assad "gassed his own people" back in 2013 -- a claim so flimsy that Obama was forced to back down on his promise to begin bombing the country in retaliation. In other words, in the below statement to CNN today, the US Ambassador to the UN lied and she knew she was lying when she warned Russia that:

    Doubling down on a regime that gases its people, that barrel bombs its people, that tortures people who it arrests simply for protesting and for claiming their rights -- that's just not going to work.

Meanwhile, Power downplays the threat of ISIS vis Assad, suggesting that it is "Machiavellian" to get too worked up over the possibility of an ISIS victory in Syria:

    Even if you were Machiavelli and all you cared about was ISIL, to support a regime like this and to not take account of the views of the vast majority of the Syrian people that want to go in a different direction is not going to either bring peace or actually succeed in defeating terrorism, which is what President Putin says his priority is.
Of course Power has no way of knowing what the majority in Syria prefer. But we do know that when asked, they clearly prefer Assad over ISIS. So she lied again.

While the US and its allies -- Saudi Arabia, Turkey, and the other Gulf States -- have openly trained, funded, and equipped radical jihadists to further their policy of regime change in Syria, Power displays again her astonishing chutzpah by blaming the ensuing rise of terrorism on...Russia and Iran!

    Russia and Iran may be the place really where one should lodge much of that criticism for supporting a regime that is carrying out these monstrous attacks against civilians, and again fueling -- whether wittingly or unwittingly -- the rise of terrorism.

But the "humanitarian" Power, is "just focused on what is going to make things better in the here and now" in Syria. To her this apparently includes damning Russia for its opposition to al-Qaeda and ISIS in Syria and continuing to promote these same groups.

Power's chutzpah does not stop there -- indeed it seemingly knows no bounds. While US intervention and regime change policy has directly led to the massive exodus from the country and resulting refugee crisis in Europe, the US diplomat pins the blame on...not enough US interventionism!

    You can't look at 12 million people being displaced from their homes, and desperate families washing up on shores and be satisfied with where we are. I think the challenge is to find what is the policy tool that's going to make things better.

Here's a suggestion: leave Syria alone!
Let those in the neighborhood like Iran and Russia take care of the jihadist problem. The more the US "helps" the Syrians, the more Syrians die.

COMMENT


LOL ... cannot stand that Power woman.   

What a lying cow.

Funny article.  Even funnier video after reading the article.  :)

Not so funny for the people that are victims of this kind of Machiavellian aggression and deceit, US proxy war (ie US & ally funded & equipped terrorist op to destabilise and effect regime change in Syria) and far from funny for victims of imminent US 'intervention' -- ie more US aggression.
