WikiLeaks Vault 7 Maybe Bigger than Snowden

CIA FrankfurtThe Wikileaks Vault 7 of the CIA espionage has exposed the fact that they are spying on every individual in Germany from Frankfurt. Here is yet another blow to undermining public confidence in government. The CIA is allowed to spy on the entire German economy, every individual citizen, every politician, every lawyer, every businessman and all European partners from Frankfurt. There is nothing anyone can do about protecting European citizens anymore or their businesses. It came out before that Merkel was fully aware of the CIA operations in Frankfurt spying on everything, which emerged as a scandal creating the biggest crisis yet for the country’s foreign intelligence agency and that was back in 2015. The German government appears to have been aware of widespread US spying, possibly including economic espionage, against European targets and yet it did nothing to stop it.

On March 8, 2017, WikiLeaks launched the first tranche of secret CIA documents to provide an overview of CIA cybercrime practices for Europe, Africa and the Middle East. These documents have by far surpassed the damage that the Snowden publications have made a few years ago. The published papers are from the years 2013 to 2016 and revealing the common operational practice of the CIA. The period coincides with the discoveries in the NSA affair in Germany from mid-2013. What is noticeable here is the fact that the CIA has been expanding Frankfurt as a center of American espionage activities in Europe – even during the Snowden affair. We have previously reported that even the UK has been tapping everything.

claper-james-testified-11-17-2016However, those who think this is not a real concern because they are not terrorists, remain clueless that this is also about gathering every piece of information on everyone for tax purposes. Monitoring absolutely everything is by no means practical for preventing terrorist attacks. The Boston terrorist attack with two culprits using cell phones proved that when you monitor everything, there is no possible way to sort through all that info to prevent anything. People like Clapper have no regard for the people or any right to privacy whatsoever. They cannot sleep at night worrying that someone might be doing something they didn’t know about.

ConquestThe world has changed. Neither Russia nor China has any desire to invade and occupy the United States. This is not World War I or II strategies any more. Occupying forces no longer are practical and inevitably they cannot control a country forever. Intelligence has become a state of paranoia in La-La-Land. They have funded groups to overthrow another group and then the first turns back upon the hand that fed them. All they have done is deprived everyone of privacy and failed to make the world safer in the least.

These people act as if this is a child’s game of world domination. It’s time to grow up and stop trying to rule the world only to make everything worse. The two enemy states are only North Korea and Iran. As for Terrorists, we created them with all these strategies of placing one group against another. This is all part of the crisis we have in our confidence within government.have in

NY Prosecutor Preet Bharara Who Protected Bankers is Fired

Bharara Preet

The Trump administration moved on Friday to sweep away virtually all of the remaining vestiges of the Obama administration prosecutors at the Justice Department. They ordered 46 holdover U.S. attorneys to tender their resignations immediately. Demanding resignations from US attorneys is actually standard operating procedure in the DOJ whenever a new administration assumes power. Traditionally this is just standard and the fact that Preet Bharara refused demonstrated he was trying to make a political statement clearly illustrating he could not be trusted.

Historically, Presidents clear out almost all the US attorneys from the prior administration. Bill Clinton appointed 80 new US attorneys in his first year of office, out of 93 posts. Preet Bharara, the rather notorious Indian-born New York Prosecutor of the SDNY appointed by Obama who has protected the bankers since taking office August 13, 2009, refused to resign. He Tweeted that he was then fired definitely showing he could not be trusted.

It was Bharara’s decision not to prosecute any of the bankers when he came to office in 2009. All other prosecutors tendered their resignations and left and most did so before even being asked because this is always a political post. That is simply the way things work. The fact that there were 46 holdovers begs the question why did they try to stay? Then why did Bharara refuse to resign? This seems very strange and he desired to turn this into a political issue against Trump. That really calls into question his motives. The fact that he then Tweets: “I did not resign. Moments ago I was fired” seems like he is obviously trying to play politics here. Prosecutors can do anything to anybody for the system is just too corrupt.

Chief Judge Sol Wachtler of New York state, coined the term in a January 1985 interview with the New York Daily News‘  that a prosecutor has so much power that is one-sided since a defendant cannot present any evidence to refute their claims he delivered the famous saying that prosecutors can “indict a ham sandwich.” Wachtler believed grand juries “operate more often as the prosecutor’s pawn than the citizen’s shield.” Indeed, Peet Bharara illustrated that he is politically motivated, not moved by the Constitution or the rule of law. In retaliation for Wachtler’s views that prosecutors had way too much power, they indicted him in 1992.
