The Snowden-Soros-Greenwald-Ukronazi-Biowar Connection

I was watching the Oliver Stone interviews of Putin and wanted to take a look at how Putin saw Snowden, given my distaste for the kind of stunt he was involved in.

Turns out that Putin’s way of looking at agents like Edward Snowden and at the surveillance state in the USA actually matches my own.

In the US, on the contrary, there is the usual cartoonish debate [probably fostered by intelligence], in which either Snowden is a traitor who needs execution or he is the greatest hero of modern times.

Well, I was early to deconstruct Snowden accurately and to say he didn’t go about things in the right way, but opportunistically and ultimately counter-productively, even though the substance of his criticism was accurate.

And, yet, though Snowden was a creation of intelligence, I did note that he didn’t deserve to be called a traitor, because the NSA’s global spying really is a problem and not worthy of the name of state-craft of any kind. It is illegal both under domestic and international law. That is the point Putin makes in the interview, that, while there maybe intelligence gathering in  Russia, it is lawful….or so he says.

Snowden turns out also to be connected to the Soros network via Greenwald, Poitras, etc, and it is obvious why Soros would have objected to NSA spying…… his own activities would be obstructed by it.

I am linking a piece I posted back in 2013 by a researcher, Shimatsu, which ties biowarfare to the Greenwald-Omidyar-Snowden-Soros-Ukronazis nexus

You will need to also go into the links to my previous posts on Soros and Ukraine, including his connection to FEMEN and sex trafficking there.

You will also need to know that the Omidyar network is a sister company to Booz Allen Hamilton, which is an extremely large important government contractor, involved in many, many defense-related industries/technology, including biodefense, biowarfare, and the making of BSL-4 cabinets, which would be the kind of cabinets in which you would keep viruses like the Crimean-Congo Hemorrhagic Fever virus, which was being researched in Ukraine, and which has both immediate bioweapon potential as well as long-term pandemic potential, through gain-of-function innovation.

It  all makes for mind-boggling rereading today, whereas at the time, I wondered if it the biowarfare part was disinformation, it seemed so far-fetched. Today, it feels spot on.

Anyway, the good sense in what Putin says makes me wonder whether a lot of what is written about him is just Western disinformation. He comes across as more on the level and much more sober than people like Biden, Obama, the Clintons or the Bushes.

The Guardian Stages Surveillance Theater

Image Credit: Saving the republic

The Guardian is running a piece by Trevor Timm, of the Greenwald-Poitras-Snowden- associated Freedom of the Press foundation. (H/T to Scott Lazarowitz, LRC)

It’s about Stingray, a technology that lets the government locate and track you via cell-phone tower signals.

Timm  is correct to point out the privacy implications of the NSA’s meta-data collection, which has filtered down to local police departments.

Meta-data is data about communications that doesn’t include the actual content.

It’s the date, the address (from and to), the length of time, the location.

Very rich, if collected continuously.

All very well, but, as even Timm does admit in the Guardian, this technology has been around for a couple of years.

Yet, last year, in a piece at the Electronic Frontier Foundation, Timm wrote:

A few months ago, EFF warned of a secretive new surveillance tool, commonly referred to as a “Stingray,” being used by the FBI in cases around the country.”

Secretive and new? Really?

The Louisville Law Review says the Feds used the Stingray from 2006 on.

[The Stingray is really a brand that refers to a family of technologies, says the Review.]

Local police departments were using the Stingray as early as 2007 (seven years ago).

“Oakland’s Targeted Enforcement Task Force made 21 ”Electronic Surveillance [StingRay] arrests” in 2007, 19 in 2008, and 19 in 2009 for charges including robbery, kidnapping, attempted murder and homicide. Further records show employees receiving up to 40 hours in training on the technology.”

This was discussed in the major media, at least as far back as 2011.

At the cyber- security blog, Schneier on Security, a commenter in January 2013, called the Stingray “very old technology.”

And the Stingray is now old and very expensive technology, I’d actually be more woried by the likes of pocket picocells that hackers cobble together from COTS equipment for less than 200USD. “

A spy technology for under 200 bucks?

I’d be more worried by picocells too.

So, why isn’t the Guardian?

Or the EFF?

Or the Freedom of the Press Foundation?

Greenwald-backer Omidyar: front for CIA, data-mining, biowarfare

UPDATE 2:

Madsen seems to be behind The Rancid Honey Trap on this

UPDATE:

The piece I posted in excerpt, by Shimatsu, seems to rely a lot on research done at Wayne Madsen’s Report. The biowarfare conspiracy theory (the weakest part) seems to be Shimatsu’s addition. Perhaps that’s the disinformation bit meant to discredit the rest.

[lLila, March 16, 2022:  Shimatsu was a lot MORE prescient than I suspected and the biowarfare theory now sounds DEAD ON. No conspiracy at all. This was 2013 and  this is 2021 bioterror is what it is all about. Hats off to Shimatsu. ]

An excerpt from Madsen’s piece October 23, 2013)I

“And Snowden and Obama are not the only ones with connections in Hawaii. It turns out that Omidyar’s parents settled in Hawaii after living for a short time in the Maryland suburbs of Washington, DC before moving to Hawaii. Omidyar attended the elite private Punahou High School in Manoa for the eighth and ninth grades, having arrived at the school in 1979, the same year Obama graduated from the school. Omidyar’s wife, Pamela Wesley Omidyar, is a graduate of Hawaii’s I’olani school, another of Hawaii’s elite private secondary schools. Omidyar maintains a residence in the wealthy Kahala neighborhood of Honolulu.

Omidyar is interested in supporting Hawaiian culture. However, that ruse has been used by the Mormons for years to increase their influence not only in Hawaii but also in Pacific island nations of Fiji, Samoa, Tonga, and the Cook Islands. Another cult that is active in Hawaii is the Bahais, which originated in Persia and now have their global headquarters in Haifa, Israel. The Bahais not only push the Polynesian culture theme in the same manner as the Mormons but even consider Mormon founder Joseph Smith to be a true seer of God. Some observers have pointed out that the Omidyars’ Roshan Foundation pushes Bahai-like principles. The Shah of Iran supported the Bahais to counter the influence of the Shi’a mullahs who ultimately overthrew him in 1979, the year the Omidyars moved to Hawaii from the Washington, DC area.

Iran has accused the Bahais of being involved in cyber-attacks on Iranian computer systems and networks, as well as working with the CIA-supported terrorist Mujahedin-e-Khalq (MEK) guerrillas that have launched violent attacks inside Iran. With their headquarters in Haifa, the links between the Bahai organization and Mossad are well-known throughout the Middle East and South Asia.

ORIGINAL POST

Yet another embarrassing chapter in the ongoing brain-washing of the endlessly malleable public, reported by Hong-Kong journalist Yoichi Shimatsu at DavidShurter.com.

Shimatsu is a Japanese journalist who writes anti-NWO pieces. Some say he passes on disinformation. But the analysis of the Snowden story sounds quite credible to me, except for its faith in Mr. Snowden.

Shimatsu’s thesis is that the super-snitch was a patsy in a frame-up concocted by lawyer-blogger Glenn Greenwald and that Greenwald is one of the infiltrators promised by Obama’s surveillance czar, Cass Sunstein.

Cass Sunstein’s program had as its goal the  cognitive infiltration of conspiracy theorists.

First, activists and dissidents were gulled by Greenwald’s performance as “good cop” opposite Sunstein’s “bad cop” in a well-publicized face-off. That enabled Greenwald to lure his readers into the banal legal quibbling that diverted outrage against the Bush administration’s war crimes from effective prosecution into toothless debate.

In this blog post, Shimatsu presents a compelling picture of Greenwald’s new financial backer, Ebay founder and billionaire Pierre Omidyar as as an intelligence-front from way back, the perfect “minder” for the  spy warfare (MI6 & CIA versus NSA) that plausibly produced the whole Snowden saga.

Shimatsu is more trusting of Snowden’s role in all this than I am, but the post is quite a read.

Some outstanding take-aways include his description of Omidyar’s mother, a PhD linguist, engaged in work similar to that of Barack Obama’s mother, who was an anthropologist in Asia:

“For purposes of discussion here, the Omidya valorization of Persepolis indicates attachment to the Shah of Iran, whose court included many advisors and officials were Bahai followers or Jewish by birth.

Oddly, the Roshan Institute board includes only one cultural expert, Dr. Omidyar. The others are deans, which makes sense because Roshan’s main activity is to provide scholarships to students and place them in allied universities. One of the more interesting board members is former Democrat Florida congresswoman Jan Scheider, a former staffer with Terry McAuliff and lawyer for Bill Clinton. Mrs. Omidyar is one of her campaign contributors.”

and this:

“Among the board members is former University of Hawaii Mano chancellor Virgina Hinton. The microbiologist is a top expert in the avian influenza or bird flu virus, which whe weaponized poses the greatest threat of a mass-destruction epidemic. Before coming to Hawaii , Dr. Hinton served as head of the animal lab at the University of Wisconsin Madison . Her chosen successor at that position was Yoshikiko Kawaoka, the Japanese scientist from Kobe University who in fact did soon at UW weaponize H5N1 into a highly lethal and contagious super-flu strain.”

Shimatsu even sees the Greenwald-Omidyar alliance as a replay of earlier New World Order alliances:

“Occult Triangle

The triangular relationship of the Disraeli/Rothschid – Oxford Movement – Bahai/Salafism of the 19th is now being reflected in the Snowden affair with the collusion of the Zionism/Greenwald – Guardian/Royalist – Bahai/Omidyar. History repeats itself, first as tragedy and then as a farce.

As Israel edges toward a first-strike attack against Iran , while ramping up its covert wars against Iranian influence in Sudan and Palestine , is it any wonder that Pierre Omidyar and Glenn Greenwald are preparing to launch a major online propaganda mouthpiece? Is this new media venture, too, part of the Bahai plan to prepare for the imminent End of the World to be delivered by an unstoppable contagion of super-flu?”

This part seems to reach a bit but Shimatsu analyses the Snowden affair well:

“Whistle-blower Edward Snowden was taken for a ride by con artists in the service of the US and UK intelligence agencies.

[Lila: I disagree that he was “taken in.” I  think he’s part of the staging.]

Under the cover of “independent journalism”, the scammers conned him out of his trove of secret NSA files, hustled him from Hong Kong ahead of legislature-sponsored public hearings on cyber-espionage, and unceremoniously dumped him, minus documents, in a transit lounge at Moscow Airport . This report shows how the American and British spymasters retrieved the top-secret files by luring the fugitive into a well-laid trap, while the mass media went along with the deception to aid the authorities in evading public calls to abolish the global surveillance state.

Pierre Omidyar, founder of the online flea market e-Bay, is betting a reported $250 million that the accomplices of whistleblower Edward Snowden can follow up their caper with the launch of an online news site with global reach. The ethnic Iranian tycoon is funding a new media project for the team of Glenn Greenwald, Laura Poitras and Jeremy Scahill because he became “more alarmed about the pressures coming down on journalists with the various leak investigations in Washington .” (Pacific Business News)

An angel investor committed to press freedom and opposed to government surveillance is every journalist’s dream even though it sounds too good to be true. There are serious grounds for questioning the credibility of Greenwald and his newest patron, whose business venture Omidyar Network is closely connected with NSA contractor Booz Allen Hamilton, Edward Snowden’s erstwhile employer.

[Lila: Which suggests that Snowden is himself complicit in some way. Perhaps as a patsy, perhaps with more culpability.]

Known for his globalist vision and “social-impact” projects in the developing countries,

[Lila: Public philanthropy from the inner circle of the Internet billionaires is rarely charity but simply business as usual.]

..backed by immense personal wealth, Omidyar follows in the footsteps of other billionaires who launched their own electronic media projects: George Soros with his slew of propaganda organs, Ariana Huffington at HuffPost and Michael Bloomberg with his financial news arm, to name a few. These well-oiled publicity machines hardly qualify as standard-bearers of objective reporting since each of these opinion-shapers has a political agenda, from running City Hall to fomenting uprisings for regime change in support of market economics. Early on, it already appears that Omidyar, for all his sentimental sound bites, could turn out to be the worst of a bad lot.

Partnering Booz Allen

In stark contrast to his libertarian posturing

[Lila:  The Internet billionaires (Thiel, Omidyar, Zuckerberg, Brin, Page) whose corporations profit from data collecting profess everything from left to right libertarianism and liberalism]

I’ve blogged about this repeatedly, in relation to Wikileaks, Face-book, and Google.]

Omidyar is connected at the hip to the very same intelligence nexus that he publicly condemns, particularly Booz Allen Hamilton, the NSA security contractor that employed Snowden in Hawaii and Japan . One of the major investment partners with Omidyar Network, Salvadore ”Sal” Gambianco, sits on the board of directors of Booz Allen Hamilton Holdings.

[\As head of Omidyar Network’s human capital operations, Giambanco vets trainees and assesses employee performance for promotion or termination. For more than a decade, Omidyar Network has had a revolving door for its employees with Booz Allen, shuttling staffers and interns for intelligence-related postings. Just a few of these individuals who worked for both Omidyar Network and Booz Allen include:

– Dhaya Lakshminarayan who was sent to Cuba to research development programs;
– Pranay Chulet hired to head Omidyar-backed Quikr in India ;
– Patricia Sosrodjojo, Indonesian venture capital expert in Jakarta ; and
– Michael Kent, a Booz Allen counter-terrorism specialist who served as a research associate at the Omidyar campus in Redwood City , California .

The relationship, simply put, is corporate collusion, and if businesses could be married, Booz Allen and Omidyar Network are husband and wife.

Inside the NSA’s Big Tent

Booz Allen and Omidyar Network are corporate members of an NSA-linked consortium called Innocentive, a consultancy focused on crowdsourcing (read: data-mining of public-opinion polls, consumer surveys and Internet-based personal data).

[Lila: That’s what “transparency” is all about. It’s “transparency” for us and “privacy” for them.]

Other member-companies include In-Q-Tel, a developer of communications monitoring software spawned with millions in start-up capital from the CIA.

Also represented is the In-Q-Tel spin-off Palantir, which creates fictive personas or virtual trolls to mount smear campaigns to debunk or threaten journalists and critical websites online and in letters to editors.

{Lila:  I ‘ve really wondered about a few trolls who’ve followed me around. They always seemed to me to be phony…)

“Palantir, which refers to itself as an “electronic warfare” firm, has created a meta-data collection program similar to the NSA’s PRISM. Michael Leiter, former head of the National Counter-Terrorism Center , is the executive counsel to Palantir.

[Another corporate partner in Innocentive is Lilly Ventures, the investment arm of Eli Lilly pharmaceuticals, which produced LSD for the MK-ULTRA mind-control program and is now the lead partner in the Obama-sponsored national brain-mapping project. Full-spectrum surveillance is advancing from wireless electronics into the bio-network of the human synapses, the last frontier for total mind control. The objective of pre-crime pre-cognition, that is, the detection of criminal tendencies, for instance, resistance to authority, and intervention before the crime can happen. Using drugs to impair the mental capabilities of individuals is, of course, only a part of a wider and larger program of social engineering to ensure domination of the globalist elites over any increasingly dependant and expendable population.

As birds of the feather that flock together, Booz Allen Hamilton and Omidyar Network are a pair of ducks in the NSA-CIA pond. These intelligence links are so thinly guised, it beggars belief that an attorney like Greenwald who practiced law in New York City could be so oblivious to the conflict of interest in regard to the security of his client Edward Snowden.

Either Glenn Greenwald is a gullible village idiot or he is one of many actors planted in this spy charade. Nobody in the intelligence game is allowed to be that naïve, especially when it is crystal clear from these interlocking corporate connections that Pierre Omidyar is hardly an innocent when he has every incentive to work on behalf of Booz Allen and the NSA to recover the Snowden files.”

Edward Snow-Job? (Updated)

uPDATE (jUNE 15)

I reread my posts and think that I’m far too cavalier in my language about Ellsberg and Greenwald (although not Assange). I do NOT mean that Ellsberg was NOT  a whistle-blower. Of course, he was. And a brave one. I mean that he has since then seemed to be used to endorse establishment positions. His role, I believe, was part of a “limited hangout” for the establishment. To what extent he is actually complicit in that role, I don’t know. I give him the benefit of the doubt. The establishment has many means at its disposable to make people amenable to playing its game.  I should clarify, again, it is not Ellsberg himself, but the role he is allowed to play that I find suspicious.

Same goes for Greenwald. He may well believe in Snowden.  He may well have WANTED to believe. But, in my opinion, his bona fides have been used in this case.

ORIGINAL ARTICLE

More manufactured “dissent” and intelligence-funded “revelations” that everyone already knows endorsed by that lovable mouthpiece, Glenn Greenwald…whose general point of view I otherwise endorse.

Notice Snowden’s props for Ron Paul, whose credibility has already been compromised.

Snowden joins the tediously long list of intel-manufactured whistleblowers, from old faithful Daniel Ellsberg to such recent star-turns as Julian of the Rothschilds, Bradley what’s-it, Brandon Multi-level Silver Marketer Raub, Madman Kokesh, the Non-Pauls, and all the other entertaining props and faux revolutionaries of NWO theater…

From Willy Loman:

“Obviously, I stand by my original theory on all of this… it’s part of an elaborate scheme by the intelligence complex themselves to create unrest or at least the narrative of unrest prior to the summer of discontent in America. The “hero” whistle-blower is actually a career NSA agent, former CIA spook who trained to be Special Forces (unconventional warfare)

He is breathlessly revered by the Guardian as the next best thing to happen to democracy since Daniel Ellsberg and Bradley Manning yet what he “leaked” is well known to anyone paying attention over the past few years.

The paper describes him as having a bumper sticker on his laptop that reads “I support Online Rights: Electronic Frontier Foundation” as well as having a copy of Angler, the biography of former vice-president Dick Cheney sitting on his hotel bed. Oh, the duality of the guy. Does anyone wonder how he was working at the NSA and the CIA for a company like Booz Allen Hamilton with an Electronic Frontier Foundation bumper sticker on his laptop?

Glenn Greenwald’s secret whistle-blower has exposed himself for reasons yet unknown. Well, I’ll tell you one of the reasons, they got sick of Greenwald doing all those interviews, now they got “their guy” front and center to take the spotlight off Glenn.

His name is Edward Snowden and by his own account he is a very high-paid employee of NSA contractor Booz Allen Hamilton. He’s been with them for at least 4 years working at the NSA facility in Hawaii.

According to a Guardian article which revealed his name, the guy is now hiding out in Hong Kong, which he readily offers up himself, in a “nice” hotel, sitting in his room with some kind of blanket hood over his head and laptop.

He claims he doesn’t want to live in a world like this… but it didn’t seem to bother him for 4 years while he was raking in $200,000 a year living like a king in Hawaii with his girlfriend.

The Guardian story is full of praise of this guy and they make sure to tell you to consider him a hero. Here’s our new hero’s background:

“In 2003, he enlisted in the US army and began a training program to join the Special Forces.”

“After that, he got his first job in an NSA facility, working as a security guard for one of the agency’s covert facilities at the University of Maryland. From there, he went to the CIA, where he worked on IT security. His understanding of the internet and his talent for computer programming enabled him to rise fairly quickly for someone who lacked even a high school diploma.

By 2007, the CIA stationed him with diplomatic cover in Geneva, Switzerland. His responsibility for maintaining computer network security meant he had clearance to access a wide array of classified documents.”

“He left the CIA in 2009 in order to take his first job working for a private contractor that assigned him to a functioning NSA facility, stationed on a military base in Japan” Guardian

Aside from the obvious sticky sweet nature of the Guardian article and the ham-handed props they adorned his hotel room with, he does give a few clues as to both his where-abouts and his mission:

“On May 20, he boarded a flight to Hong Kong, where he has remained ever since.”

“It is a plush hotel and, what with eating meals in his room too, he has run up big bills.”

“”We have got a CIA station just up the road – the consulate here in Hong Kong – and I am sure they are going to be busy for the next week. And that is a concern I will live with for the rest of my life, however long that happens to be.””  Guardian

So he’s in a plush hotel right up the road from the CIA station in Hong Kong “running up bills” on his credit card. That shouldn’t take the CIA or the NSA or ANYONE more than a few minutes with Google to figure out where he is.

Notice something else… MAY 20th

How does that factor into what I wrote the other day?
