Global Apocalypse 2016?

I know I'm not the only one out there who is feeling an energy rising that is going to lead to the apocalypse.  It's a feeling that keeps stabbing at me, telling me that we are being lead down a path of no return.  It's a feeling that runs through my brain and body day and night. I know there are a lot of you out there who are feeling the same thing and who are not even telling their closest friends and family.

My feelings are that no matter which way the election tilts, violence will ensue and that will give the powers that be excuse to buckled don't their control and hence taking away much of our freedom.

The peaceful freedoms enjoyed by American citizens are on the brink of destruction.  We think we enjoy these freedoms but we are manipulated by media. The media are owned by the powers that are pulling the puppet strings. What is real and what is just the reality that we are being lead to believe.

Example # 1: "the latest craze in Moscow -- is to find the nuclear launch codes and deactivate a hidden red button, which has already been pressed by a mad Russian general." - CNN

The above is from CNN. Is this an actual situation or is it fear mongering? I don't know.  Do you? Unless we have an in into the situation, we won't ever know the truth. Can we actually believe any of the leaders that have told us anything about this situation?

The drill that Russia performed, the nuclear drill, that the media emphasized was preparing for an imminent disaster...was it really preparing for an imminent nuclear situation?

"state-run television has sent mixed signals about the drill. RT, which operates an English-language broadcast geared for Western viewers but funded by the Russian government, claims the drills are routine and held yearly since 2012, and that 4 October is the country's Civil Defense Day. RT claims that in 2013, a similar drill was even larger in scale:This year’s exercise is not exceptional in terms of scale. For example, the drill of 2013 involved over 60 million people."  - Snopes

Because of Russia's human rights abuses in Syria, it has been kicked off the U.N. Human Rights Council. At this point, I don't think that they care.

While I don't doubt that Russia is bound to instigate the nuclear cascade, I also wouldn't be surprised by other players, namely North Korea, Iran or China.  All of these have been colluding in recent years against the United States.


The war on faith is being felt on a global scale. Is that being publicized through the media?  No. Instead, what gets publicized is the instances where the agenda of the puppet masters is interrupted, showing what might happen to you if you don't comply. The fear mongering. The hate. The violence.

War on family has been executed since the dawn of man, but as of late, new demons have been mixing with old to push the agenda deeper, quicker. The process of pushing out family values and the family unit has been pushed by the agenda of the puppet masters through groups who have been posing as those who care about LGBT rights.  As we all know, the puppet masters don't actually care except that these groups help move their agenda forward, The victims of those people who get in the mix don't actually matter to these puppet masters.  Hence this...

"Over a period of a few decades, activists for the LGBT movement transitioned steadily from their initial demands for equal protection under the law to demands for gay marriage, to denaturing the very construct of humanity by insisting on a gender free society, to promoting the right to force society at large to accept as infallible an individual’s ability to discern and to declare one’s self to be whatever sex one chooses. 

To put it another way, the LGBT agenda will brook no contradiction from the rest of us mere mortals to argue about the inerrant inner light of the gods and goddesses who declare themselves to have divine ability to transform themselves into any sex they wish to be. The “right” to be or not to be man or woman resulted in the fanatical demand that bathrooms must be retrofitted to conform to “gender free” standards, meaning that in practice either sex could use public facilities as they wished, including those who are physically men but believe themselves to be women." -American Thinker

With the willingness to incite violence if either party wins the election, people are being drawn out and influenced to amp up the talk into action. 

Even with all of these things going on around us, we still have the choice to act well.  We have the choice to be good to each other.  We still have the choice to believe that the human race can change its course.

Encourage your neighbors to join you in preparedness. Prepare supplies of food and water that you can regularly rotate but would help sustain you and your family for days, weeks, months at a time if there were an emergency.  

Love one another.

EMP. Series of Events. What Will You Do?

What would you do if there was an EMP? What is that?  An EMP is an electromagnetic pulse. Still confused?  Let me tell you a little about it.

Hypothetical situation:

Russia, who emphasizes its space weapon program as a crucial component of their defense strategy, detonates nuclear weapons 100 -200 miles over the United States of America.

The ripple effect causes a pulse of energy that wipes out anything that has electrical components. The ripple covers the nation, causing the nation to fall to its knees.

There would be no fallout with this attack, at least no nuclear fallout. No explosion will be seen.

At first, cities will think it is just a localized power outage.  Citizens will wait for the electricity to come on.

Denial.

Airplanes will fall from the sky, literally.  They will fail and fall, killing all on board and anyone who is below and in their path. The only airplanes that will work are the early models and those who are stored in a place that acts as a Faraday cage.

Cars will all roll to a stop, lining the highways, freeways, interstates, city and country roads. The only vehicles that will work will be early, early models without the computer components and those few that are stored where there is a facility that acts as a Faraday cage.

Shock

Next, citizens, medical facilities, infrastructure facilities and others will try to turn on their backup generators. None will work, all will have failed.

Panic

The first to die will be those with pacemakers, those in intensive care and other facilities, those who rely on dialysis and other life sustaining processes, and other like situations.

Survival

Once people start looting and gathering things they think they need to prepare for the end, bank vaults will be emptied because there is no access to digital records, there will be opportunists who rob stores of their money, thinking it will prepare them for what is to come but it won't.

Those with medications that they take for maintenance will go through withdrawl and some will die. Many will have psychotic breaks, creating a real zombie apocalypse.

Reboot

Martial law will be implemented across the states and in communities.

Trade and bartering will be the only way to get what you need, unless you beat and kill others for it.

Violence will take place as death, fire, shortages begin to ripple across the nation.

The end of the United States

Russia comes in with troops once the ripple has flowed across the country, once the death and destruction has brought the U.S. to its knees, starting to roll back to primitive behavior.

There will be pockets of organization where the constitution is still being held onto. The U.S. Constitution will be fought for once again, from the beginning, or is it from the end?!



Here are some links to sink your teeth into.

"The EMP Commission reports that: "China and Russia have considered limited nuclear-attack options that, unlike their Cold War plans, employ EMP as the primary or sole means of attack." The report further warns that: "designs for variants of such weapons may have been illicitly trafficked for a quarter-century."

During the Cold War, Russia designed an orbiting nuclear warhead resembling a satellite and peaceful space-launch vehicle called a Fractional Orbital Bombardment System. It would use a trajectory that does not approach the U.S. from the north, where our sensors and few modest ballistic-missile defenses are located, but rather from the south. The nuclear weapon would be detonated in orbit, perhaps during its first orbit, destroying much of the U.S. electric grid with a single explosion high above North America"  CLICK HERE FOR MORE

"The EMP Commission was established pursuant to title XIV of the Floyd D. Spence National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2001 (as enacted into law by Public Law 106-398; 114 Stat. 1654A-345). Duties of the EMP Commission include assessing:

1. the nature and magnitude of potential high-altitude EMP threats to the United States from all potentially hostile states or non-state actors that have or could acquire nuclear weapons and ballistic missiles enabling them to perform a high-altitude EMP attack against the United States within the next 15 years;
2. the vulnerability of United States military and especially civilian systems to an EMP attack, giving special attention to vulnerability of the civilian infrastructure as a matter of emergency preparedness;
3. the capability of the United States to repair and recover from damage inflicted on United States military and civilian systems by an EMP attack; and
4. the feasibility and cost of hardening select military and civilian systems against EMP attack.

The Commission is charged with identifying any steps it believes should be taken by the United States to better protect its military and civilian systems from EMP attack."  CLICK HERE FOR MORE

"A few seconds after 11 p.m. on July 9, 1962, streetlights on the Hawaiian island of Oahu blinked out. About 300 went out in total, but, happily, it didn't matter. The skies over Hawaii were lit up nearly as bright as day for the same reason that the streetlights stopped working: The test of a thermonuclear weapon nearly 1,500 kilometers away over Johnston Atoll."

"“Furthermore, they are exploiting what they perceive as space vulnerabilities – threatening the vital, national, civil, scientific, and economic benefits to the U.S. and the global community.”

Talking about Russia, the admiral notes:

Russia’s 2010 military doctrine emphasized space as a crucial component of its defense strategy, and Russia has publicly stated they are researching and developing counterspace capabilities to degrade, disrupt, and deny other users of space. Russia’s leaders also openly assert that Russian armed forces have anti-satellite (ASAT) weapons, conduct ASAT research, and employ satellite jammers.

“China, like Russia, has advanced ‘directed energy’ capabilities that could be used to track or blind satellites, and like Russia, has demonstrated the ability to perform complex maneuvers in space,” he added" CLICK HERE

Japanese artist Isao Hashimoto has created a beautiful, undeniably scary time-lapse map of the 2053 nuclear explosions which have taken place between 1945 and 1998, beginning with the Manhattan Project's "Trinity" test near Los Alamos and concluding with Pakistan's nuclear tests in May of 1998. This leaves out North Korea's two alleged nuclear tests in this past decade (the legitimacy of both of which is not 100% clear).

Each nation gets a blip and a flashing dot on the map whenever they detonate a nuclear weapon, with a running tally kept on the top and bottom bars of the screen. Hashimoto, who began the project in 2003, says that he created it with the goal of showing"the fear and folly of nuclear weapons." It starts really slow — if you want to see real action, skip ahead to 1962 or so — but the buildup becomes overwhelming."

IMPORTANT!!

"Russian generals have previously warned the EMP Commission that a top-secret design for a super-EMP warhead was accidentally leaked to North Korea in 2004. 

Now intelligence experts have warned that North Korea’s launch of the KSM-4 satellite on February 7 may be used to “practise” an EMP attack on the United States – potentially causing a blackout on the national grid, killing millions.

Allnewspipeline.com reports:

On Oct. 8, 2015, NORAD Commander Gortney told the Atlantic Council, “I agree with the intelligence community that we assess that they [the North Koreans] have the ability, they have the weapons, and they have the ability to miniaturize those weapons, and they have the ability to put them on a rocket that can range the [U.S.] homeland.”

On April 7, 2015, Gortney said NORAD is moving back into the underground bunker inside Cheyenne Mountain, spending $700 million to further harden the bunker against nuclear electromagnetic pulse (EMP) attack from North Korea and others."

Obama Transgender Blackmail Decree

Everyone on the planet now knows that Obama overreached his office by sending out a decree that...well you know now that it was basically blackmailing the public education facilities that the federal moneys would be withheld if those directed in the decree didn't comply.  Ever wonder what the motive of this is.  I mean, it is a huge push for a very small part of the population that has need of mental attention before they need a bathroom for their identified gender.

Here is what my theory is.  You can say I don't have a clue, but be careful what you say.

Michelle Obama is a man...a transgender male...a male who is identifying as a female, as the First Lady. I mean no disrespect.  Just an observation that didn't just start with myself.

Watch my block get blacklisted...I don't care.  I am a person of truth and light and I see things and must report.

Here are observations that I have found online that are similar to my own. Think about it and then think of the decree.

One other thing to think about is...where are the pictures of Mrs. Obama being pregnant? What about baby pictures of her? I know a doctored birth certificate is out there that shows her name as Michelle when she was born, but it clearly is doctored.

Time to be ready. Big things are on their way.

The Government & The Ten Commandments

Subject: Do You Know This?
------

This 1768 parchment (612×502 mm) byJekuthiel Sofer emulated the 1675 

Ten Commandments at the Amsterdam Esnogasynagogue.^[1]

DID YOU KNOW? As you walk up the steps
to the building which houses the
U.S. Supreme Court you can see near the top of the building a row of the
world's law givers and each one is facing one in the middle who is facing
forward with a full frontal view ... It is Moses and he is holding the Ten
Commandments!

DID YOU KNOW? As you enter the Supreme
Court courtroom, the two huge oak
doors have the Ten Commandments engraved on each lower portion of each door.

DID YOU KNOW? As you sit inside the courtroom, you can see the wall, right
above where the Supreme Court Judges sit, a display of the Ten Commandments.

DID YOU KNOW? There are
Bible verses etched in stone all over the
Federal Buildings and Monuments in
Washington , D.C.

DID YOU KNOW?
James Madison, the fourth
president, known as 'The Father
of Our Constitution' made the Following
statement: 'We have staked the whole of all
our political Institutions upon the capacity of
mankind for Self-government, upon
the capacity of each and all of
us to govern ourselves, to
control ourselves, to sustain
ourselves according to The Ten Commandments of God.'

DID YOU KNOW? Every session of Congress
begins with a prayer by a paid preacher, whose salary has been paid by the
taxpayer since 1777.

DID YOU KNOW?
Fifty-two of the 55 founders of the Constitution
were members of the established Orthodox churches in the colonies.

DID YOU KNOW? Thomas Jefferson worried
that the Courts would overstep their
authority and instead of Interpreting the law
would begin making law an oligarchy: the rule of few over many. How then,
have we gotten to the point that everything we have done for 220 years in
this Country is now suddenly wrong and Unconstitutional?
Lets put it around the world and let
the world see and remember what this great
country was Built on The Holy Bible
and belief in GOD!!

WE ARE ONE NATION UNDER GOD.
OUR UNITED STATES CONSTITUTION
IS OUR "HOMELAND SECURITY"

If you agree, pass this on!

The United States Secret Courts, Secret Surveillance and Other Dealings in Secret Combinations Behind Closed Doors.

I've been reading about what a surveillance state actually is.  Remember Demolition Man?  It's the movie with Sylvester Stalone and Sandra Bullock in which a cop from the past is brought to the future...anywho, this future is ruled by laws where people get tickets for saying the wrong words and other behavioral things.  In other words, they don't get to have individual rights and therefore no individuality at all.

While members of Congress refuse to admit that they are in the know on the NSA secret snooping program, it has all been done with the approval of congress, so it is not very likely that the truth is being told here.  So, is there anyone in Washington who actually tells the truth?

"A top Republican lawmaker claimed Thursday terrorists have already started to change their behavior after a self-described NSA whistleblower leaked information about classified U.S. surveillance programs to various media outlets, saying the leaks may make it "harder to track bad guys." (Read more: Fox)

In steps the Electronic Frontier Foundation.  They had a victory Wednesday towards the release of a ruling on violations our precious (and now severely troubled) 4th Amendment rights.  Even the Director of National Intelligence has revealed that the SECRET FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE COURT (FISC) ruled that there has been 4th Amendment violations in the surveillance by our government.  While we talk about the citizens of China having a lack of freedoms, at least in China you know what to expect with the state.

The Electronic Frontier Foundation scored a remarkable — and remarkably timely — legal victory on Wednesday. The secret court at the center of the recent NSA surveillance revelations allowed the group's push for the release of a ruling on violations of Americans' Fourth Amendment rights to move forward.

In May, we reported on what was then a fairly sleepy issue, a distant node on the EFF's longstanding push to uncover how the NSA's intelligence-gathering systems conflicted with the Constitution. In July 2012, a letter from the Director of National Intelligence to Senator Ron Wyden of Oregon revealed that a ruling by the secret Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court (FISC) found Fourth Amendment violations in the government's surveillance. source: Atlantic Wire 

In the Federalist Papers, No. 16 (Hamilton), it reads that this secret surveillance is deemed unconstitutional.  It reads as follows...

The State leaders may even make a merit of their surreptitious invasions of it (the Constitution) on the ground of some temporary convenience, exemption, or advantage.

Hamilton also talks about the power hungry leaders and how they may have a tendency to be wanton of domination instead of working for the citizens they represent.

An experiment of this nature (exertion of unconstitutional power) would always be hazardous in the face of a constitution in any degree competent to its own defense, and of a people enlightened enough to distinguish between a legal exercise and an illegal usurpation of authority.

... The regulation of the mere domestic police of a State appears to me to hold out slender allurements to ambition.  Commerce, finance, negotiation, and war seem to comprehend all the objects which have charms for minds governed by that passion; and all the powers...would contribute nothing to the dignity, to the importance, or to the splendor of the national government.

Were the Founders and those who wrote the Federalist Papers psychic?  Sure seems like they envisioned a future much like what we have, which has exploded into scandal after scandal that is ignored by Obama and his administration.  I agree with the following statements regarding the attitude of Obama and his administration.  I know that this was not started under Obama, but it has literally exploded with corruption under his administration because he has ignored the U.S. Constitution, as he has stated that he thinks of it as a nice historical document.

Surely, you might think, such all-encompassing surveillance must be unconstitutional, and ultimately will be stopped or modified by the Supreme Court. 

Think again. President Obama, among many others, has assured us that the government’s spying operations are entirely legal. 

The problem is not that the president has taken leave of his senses, or suddenly taken the rest of us for fools. The problem is that he may well be correct, at least according to the way the Supreme Court has thus far interpreted the Constitution. 

Because of their classified status, and notwithstanding the recent press revelations, the NSA surveillance operations’ extent and exact methodology remain largely unknown. But from a civil liberties standpoint, what we do know isn’t very encouraging. 

Phone RecordsOperating under various code names, such as Trailblazer, Stellar Wind and Ragtime, authority for the collection of telephone metadata—the phone numbers each of us calls and the numbers of those who call us—derives from Sections 215 and 505 of the Patriot Act, which was initially passed in 2001 and amended key provisions of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act. 

Section 215 (codified at 18 United States Code 1861) authorizes the FBI on behalf of the NSA to apply for court orders requiring phone companies to produce business records “to protect against international terrorism or clandestine intelligence activities.” The section served as the legal basis for the order published by The Guardian that was issued in April by the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court to Verizon Business Services. 

The court deliberates in secret, issues its orders on an “ex parte” basis without hearing from those affected by them, and only rarely publishes its decisions, although the Justice Department reports annually to Congress on the overall volume of surveillance applications. In 2012, the FBI submitted 1,789 applications to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court. One was withdrawn; all the others were approved. 

Section 505 (codified at 18 USC 2709) authorizes the FBI to issue national security letters, without any judicial oversight, to obtain subscriber information and toll billing records from telecom carriers. Recipients of national security letters are subject to gag orders that forbid them from ever revealing the letters’ existence. In 2011, the FBI issued 16,511 such letters.Those seeking to declare these sections unconstitutional face at least one enormous obstacle: the 1979 case of Smith v. Maryland, in which the Supreme Court held that telephone users have no reasonable expectation of privacy in the records of their calling activities. As the Smith ruling instructs, absent a privacy expectation, no illegal search within the meaning of the Fourth Amendment occurs. Unless the Supreme Court overrules or distinguishes Smith from the NSA’s current spying platforms, legal challenges to orders like the one issued to Verizon are likely to meet with little success. 

Internet Content SurveillanceThe obstacles facing those seeking to halt or limit the collection and reading of emails and other electronic communications under the PRISM program are in some ways even more daunting, courtesy of the Supreme Court’s decision in Clapper v. Amnesty International, released in February. In a 5-4 majority opinion written by Justice Samuel Alito, the court dismissed a complaint brought by Amnesty International and other human rights groups, reasoning that none of the organizations had suffered actual legal harm, and thus lacked “standing” to sue. None could show, the majority argued, that its communications in fact had been intercepted in the past or that they would likely be intercepted in the future.  

Although domestic wiretapping warrants issued by judges must be supported by probable cause, the collection of emails challenged in the Clapper case and involved in the PRISM program is governed by another set of legal provisions, found in Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (codified at 18 USC 1881). These permit the attorney general and the director of national intelligence to obtain Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court approval of surveillance operations against foreign targets upon certifications of reasonableness that fall short of the warrant requirement for probable cause. The provisions also authorize such operations to proceed without any court approval for up to seven days in “exigent circumstances,” as determined by the attorney general. 

Although the PRISM operation on its face is directed solely at foreign targets, even the sleuths at the NSA can’t always determine where a person is located. As a result, the agency reportedly collects information on targets believed with only 51 percent certainty to be outside the U.S. 

American journalists and others who investigate national security issues are thus left in a Kafkaesque dilemma, validly concerned that their emails to and from people abroad are being swept up in secret government data dragnets yet foreclosed on technical standing grounds from challenging the dragnets because they are unable to penetrate the very secrecy they object to.In the absence of a highly improbable constitutional turnaround by the Roberts court or some equally improbable decisive reform of the Patriot Act and FISA by Congress, this is the legal structure we will have for the foreseeable future. 

All nations have the right to protect themselves against terror. But in a country that prides itself on the values of transparency and the rule of law, we can do better than the current system, which seemingly falls short in both respects. source: Truth Dig

 What is a top secret court doing in our United States?!  They work in secret combinations behind closed doors, allowing for the signs of the times to come forth, written almost in exact wording with the Biblical prophecy.  They are an organization, like more organizations that we are finding out about, that are running our country from behind closed doors and by a few elite individuals.

Are we ready now for that discussion about secrecy? In December, in a holiday-season rush to reauthorize the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, the U.S. Senate shot down several amendments intended to limit the powers the act grants to the government and to scale back the near-total secrecy that it authorizes. source: Bloomberg

Additionally, many are waking up to the fact that the votes for government leaders are fraudulent and are created behind closed doors as well.  What a frustrating thing to wake up to!  To wake up to the fact that your vote does not really count is a rough thing, especially for those of us who are instinctively and deeply patriotic to our United States of America.

The question for Barkin is not whether we should have a surveillance state since the surveillance state is certainly here but what type of surveillance state we will have. He notes that there are a number of dangers posed by the surveillance state. With all the data collected there may be a move towards a parallel track of preventative law enforcement that may be contrary to guarantees of a bill of rights.

Traditional law enforcement may begin also to follow this parallel track. With the vast data base of information collected by the government, local police forces will want to access and mine this information not just intelligence agents. Similarly social service providers will want access to information to serve clients better but also no doubt to weed out "undeserving" clients. Finally, Barkin claims that the government may use more and more private agencies to collect information for it, in order to circumvent constitutional guarantees. I am not sure that the government worries that much about such constitutional issues. James Clapper. National Intelligence Director, claims that the snooping is all perfectly legal under the Patriot Act and has been authorized by Congress:"Clapper said the data collection under the program, first unveiled by the newspapers The Washington Post and The Guardian in Britain, was conducted with the approval of the secret Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act Court and with the knowledge of Internet service providers."

The obvious reason to have the work done by private entities is that they can make a profit from this activity and then donate to election campaigns of politicians who helped privatize the data collection.

Balkin claims that there can be a democratic surveillance state or an authoritarian surveillance state. A democratic surveillance state collects as little data as possible and tells the public as much as possible about what it is being collected and what is being done with information. An authoritarian surveillance state will collect as much information as possible about its citizens and tell them as little as possible. Paul Krugman claims that the US should be classified as an authoritarian surveillance state. His position is stated in the appended video clip.

Code Named "Bumblehive". NSA's New 1,000,000,000,000,000 Gigabytes Data Center.

THE BUMBLEHIVE

10:44 AM  Admin  No comments

Author,
Chuck Frank

72 Fusion Centers are an intricate nationwide web of shared data
collection, and set in place to snoop into our cellphones and e-mails
while local law enforcement and neighborhood spies feed that
confidential information to those powers at be. Don’t forget, it is
all for your own “security” so just relax. Relax? I thought that we
all had the right to feel secure in our own person or homes, however,
having a Fusion Center in Sacramento isn’t exactly making me feel all
that secure. No, I’m actually feeling the opposite for there is
something here that is telling me that our government isn’t quite
giving us the WHOLE truth about a lot of things. That is obvious. So
then, what do we have? We’ve got a lot more than just your friendly
neighborhood watch group looking after you, and for those of you who
didn’t know, there is a mega Data Center being built in Bluffdale, Utah
which is a, not so secret, NSA project, and it can house all of the
personal and PRIVATE INFORMATION of every person in the U.S. Well,
that’s just fine and dandy. The center is 1,000,000 square feet and is
code named the “BUMBLEHIVE.” As for the amount of information that can
be stored, it will have an astounding storage capacity of
1,000,000,000,000,000 gigabytes and it’s all for the “good” of the
nation. NSA is on a path towards building this first exaflop machine
(1 quintillion instructions per second) by 2018. Naturally, NSA denies
that they have any interest in “tracking” every citizen even though
they do have the capability of eaves dropping on every American.
Let’s reverse gears. Does anyone remember 9/11 when President Bush
said they were “only” eaves dropping on international calls, while all
along, warrantless domestic calls were in the mix? At that time the CEO
of Quest Communications said that he would not comply with warrantless
wiretaps. Presently, he is in prison for “insider trading.” Shall we
connect the dots? He is presumably the wealthiest person behind bars
in America. Here’s a footnote; The U.S. Government stopped doing
business with Quest after they refused to do warrantless wiretaps.

As for the ongoing surveillance that is happening today, in their
own words, NSA gives us a snapshot of their data collection efforts
which is for the “protection” of the nation.
“For security reasons, it is unrealistic to expect a complete list
of information we collect for our national citizen database. In the
spirit of openness and transparency however, here is a partial list:”

* internet searches * websites visited * e-mails sent and received *
social media activity (Facebook, Twitter, etc) * blogging activity
including posts read, written, and commented * videos watched and/or
uploaded online * photos viewed and/or uploaded online * music
downloads * mobile phone GPS-location data * mobile phone apps
downloaded * phone call records * text messages sent and received *
online purchases and auction transactions * bookstore receipts * credit
card/ debit card transactions * bank statements * cable television
shows watched and recorded * commuter toll records * parking receipts *
electronic bus and subway passes / Smartpasses * travel itineraries *
border crossings * surveillance cameras * medical information including
diagnoses and treatments * prescription drug purchases * guns and
ammunition sales * educational records * arrest records * driver
license information

Bumblehive

Bumblehive is the alleged code name for the NSA’s new multi-billion dollar spy center in Utah although the official name appears to be Stellar Wind. . It is the mother of all data collection. Bumblehive most likely is a spin off from this word. Who says the feds don’t have a sense of humor? Today is the reported day of some kind of ribbon cutting ceremony. Since there’s little info to be found on the ceremony, it must be assumed it’s a secret one and not many will get close enough to spy on the spies.

I’ve been trying to put myself in the shoes of the NSA to figure out what’s going on. If I had to hire contractors to do the most sensitive, most secretive jobs in the inner workings of the facility, who would I get? Well, that’s a no brainer. Of course it would be some shady companies with ties to Israel with a history of corruption and staffed with mostly unstable individuals. Backdoor men hanging the backdoor that leads straight to Tel Aviv. Why should we expect otherwise?

What we know about the NSA's secret data warehouse in Utah

Published June 13, 2013

Associated Press

• 

The nation's new billion-dollar epicenter for fighting global cyberthreats sits just south of Salt Lake City, tucked away on a National Guard base at the foot of snow-capped mountains. The long, squat buildings span 1.5 million square feet, and are filled with super-powered computers designed to store massive amounts of information gathered secretly from phone calls and emails.

Two small, weathered signs in the sagebrush greet interlopers to this place with a stark warning: "Military reservation. No trespassing." But there is no visible marker bearing the facility's name and operator: The Utah Data Center, brought to you courtesy of the National Security Agency.

When it opens this fall, the facility will be the NSA's largest data storage center in the U.S. Just don't ask Utah officials, and certainly not the residents of tiny Bluffdale, just north of the new center, to tell you exactly what will go on inside. They either don't know, or aren't saying. And the NSA is famously tight-lipped.

"We know it's a spy center. But who are they spying on?" said Connie Robbins, an upholstery shop owner who lives in Bluffdale, a community of 8,000 some 25 miles south of Salt Lake City that is known for its rodeo and annual Old West Days.

The dearth of information has perpetuated a mystery that has spawned dozens of theories and a spoof website that even includes a phony code name for the facility: "Bumblehive," a play on Utah's nickname of the "Beehive State."

Last week's revelation that the NSA is collecting millions of U.S. phone records along with digital communications stored by nine major Internet providers illustrates how aggressively personal information is being congregated and analyzed -- and shines a brighter light on what will be going on in secret at the Utah facility, scheduled to open in October.

NSA officials say the center will play a key role in the nation's effort to protect national security networks, and allow U.S. authorities to monitor for potential cyberthreats. In an email, agency spokeswoman Vanee Vines said that "many unfounded allegations have been made about the planned activities" of the center.

"NSA would like to confirm, on the record, that the Utah Data Center is a state-of-the-art data facility designed to support the U.S. intelligence community's efforts to further strengthen and protect the nation. Its operations will be lawfully conducted in accordance with U.S. laws and policies," Vines wrote.

She provided no additional details, however.

'It's just a big file cabinet out in the Western area.' 

- Richard "Dickie" George, who retired from the NSA in 2011 after 40 years

Richard "Dickie" George, who retired from the NSA in 2011 after 40 years, said the facility isn't nearly as interesting or mysterious as some think. He calls it little more than a giant storeroom. Inundated with increasing volumes of secretly taped phone calls, intercepted emails and poached records of online purchases, the NSA needed a mega-warehouse to put it all, he said.

"It's just a big file cabinet out in the Western area," said George, once a senior technical leader at the agency. "There is no spying going on there."

NSA agents elsewhere will comb through the data stored in Utah as the agency attempts to understand how terrorist groups operate and who plays what roles, George said. Emails, articles, websites and videos on the Internet may hold clues about such activities, he said.

Utah Data Center

Background

The Utah Data Center, code-named Bumblehive, is the first Intelligence Community Comprehensive National Cyber-security Initiative (IC CNCI) data center designed to support the Intelligence Community's efforts to monitor, strengthen and protect the nation. NSA is the executive agent for the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) and will be the lead agency at the center.

The steady rise in available computer power and the development of novel computer platforms will enable us to easily turn the huge volume of incoming data into an asset to be exploited, for the good of the nation.



The Utah Data Center is currently under construction and is expected to open in October 2013. Our 1.5 billion-dollar one million square-foot Bluffdale / Camp Williams facility will house a 100,000 sq-ft mission critical data center. The remaining 900,000 SF will be used for technical support and administrative space. Other supporting facilities include water treatment facilities, chiller plant, power substations, vehicle inspection facility, visitor control center, and sixty diesel-fueled emergency standby generators and fuel facility for a 3-day 100% power backup capability.

Data Storage Capacity

The storage capacity of the Utah Data Center will be measured in "zettabytes". What exactly is a zettabyte? There are a thousand gigabytes in a terabyte; a thousand terabytes in a petabyte; a thousand petabytes in an exabyte; and a thousand exabytes in a zettabyte. Some of our employees like to refer to them as "alottabytes".

Learn more about the domestic surveillance data we plan to process and store in the Utah Data Center. Also, view our strategy for using the PRISM data collection program, nationwide intercept stations, and the "Boundless Informant" mapping tool to gather and track this data.

Code-Breaking Supercomputer Platform

In October 2012, the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Oak Ridge National Laboratory launched the Titan Supercomputer, which is capable of churning through more than 20,000 trillion calculations each second or 20 petaflops. (1 petaflop = 1 quadrillion instructions per second).

Our Target: 256-bit AES

The Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) algorithm is used worldwide to encrypt electronic data on hard drives, email systems, and web browsers. The AES 256-bit encryption key is the standard for top-secret US government communications. Computer experts have estimated it would take longer than the age of the universe to break the code using a trial-and-error brute force attack with today's computing technology.

In 2004, the NSA launched a plan to use the Multiprogram Research Facility in Oak Ridge, Tennessee to build a classified supercomputer designed specifically for cryptanalysis targeting the AES algorithm. Recently, our classified NSA Oak Ridge facility made a stunning breakthrough that is leading us on a path towards building the first exaflop machine (1 quintillion instructions per second) by 2018. This will give us the capability to break the AES encryption key within an actionable time period and allow us to read and process stored encrypted domestic data as well as foreign diplomatic and military communications.


Visitor Control Center

Construction Status

We're using a Critical Path Method (CPM) schedule to track the cost and resource data for over 26,000 activities. The project initially required over a million cubic yards of earthwork and nearly seven miles of new roadways. The massive twenty-building complex is being completed in three phases. The first phase was completed last Fall and includes the first of four data halls (Data Center Module DCM 1); the Administration Building; Data Center Loading and Storage; Chiller Plant #1 and storage tanks; Generator Plant #1 with fuel system storage; Visitor Control Center; Vehicle Cargo Inspection Facility; kennel; perimeter warehouse; and fire pump building.

The second phase, completed early in 2013 includes the second data hall (DCM 2) along with Generator Plant #2 with fuel system storage.



The final phase is scheduled to be completed by October 2013 and includes the remaining two data halls (DCM 3 and 4); Generator Plants 3 and 4 with fuel system storage; and Chiller Plant #2 and storage tanks. Because of the national security implications of an on-time opening of this critical facility, the NSA has already begun the installation of classified equipment in the first two data halls (DCM 1 and 2).

Secret Ribbon Cutting Ceremony

We held a closed-press ribbon cutting ceremony and tour on May 30th, 2013 in celebration of the completion of the exterior building construction. We invited our most loyal partners at the local, state, and federal level who have had the vision and fortitude to enable us to build this powerful Intelligence Community data center "for the good of the Nation". We are on track to open in October!

Global Privacy Has Been Made Obsolete – Bumblehive

June 3, 2013

A massive new NSA data centre in Utah will begin collecting electronic information from citizens all around the world, regardless of the country they reside in.

The facility, code name “Bumblehive”, is 1.5-million-square-ft,  has cost almost $2-billion and  can store 1 trillion terabytes of information, creating the largest spy centre known to man.

The NSA plans to collect electronic information, everything from emails to cellphone records and even purchasing receipts from all over the world. They will store the information to identify threatening patterns, they claim.

So far, not one single country has moved to litigate against this level of domestic surveillance.

The data centre is able to capture all forms of communication, including the complete contents of private emails, cell phone calls and Internet searches, as well as all sorts of personal data trails—parking receipts, travel itineraries, bookstore purchases, and other digital “pocket litter”, though its precise purpose is secret.

Bumblehive will also use satellites, tap into undersea cables and pick up microwave links.

In 2012 Wired reported that the data centre is:

In essence, like a cloud, a digital cloud, so that agency employees, analysts from around the country at NSA headquarters and their listening posts in different parts of the U.S.—in Georgia, Texas, Hawaii and Colorado—can all access that information held in Bluffdale in that data center.  And that’s pretty much a summary of what that data center is all about.

The NSA is much different from the CIA. First of all, it’s about three times the size. It costs far more.  It’s tremendously more secret than the CIA. And what it does is very different. It’s focused on eavesdropping, on tapping into major communications links, on listening to what people around the world and, to some degree, in the United States say on telephones, email, communications . . . And NSA is really the most powerful intelligence agency, not only in the U.S., but in the world today.
