The CIA and Acid | Carpe Noctem - Seize the NightCarpe Noctem – Seize the Night LSD was invented in Switzerland by Albert Hofmann, a researcher for Sandoz pharmaceuticals. The CIA was on to acid long before the flower children. It did not spontaneously appear among the youth of the Western world as a gift from the God of Getting’ High. So, for that matter, were upstanding citizens like Time-Life magnate Henry Luce and his wife, Clare Boothe Luce, who openly sang the praises of their magical mystery tours during the early sixties. Henry, a staunch conservative with close connections to the CIA, once dropped acid on the golf course and then claimed he had enjoyed a little chat with God. While the cognoscenti had the benefit of tuned-in physicians, other psychedelic pioneers took their first trips as part of CIA-controlled research studies. At least one person committed suicide after becoming an unwitting subject of a CIA LSD test, crashing through a high-story plate-glass window in a New York hotel as his Agency guardian watched. Or did it?

U.S. intelligence mining data from nine U.S. Internet companies in broad secret program The National Security Agency and the FBI are tapping directly into the central servers of nine leading U.S. Internet companies, extracting audio and video chats, photographs, e-mails, documents, and connection logs that enable analysts to track foreign targets, according to a top-secret document obtained by The Washington Post. The program, code-named PRISM, has not been made public until now. It may be the first of its kind. The NSA prides itself on stealing secrets and breaking codes, and it is accustomed to corporate partnerships that help it divert data traffic or sidestep barriers. Equally unusual is the way the NSA extracts what it wants, according to the document: “Collection directly from the servers of these U.S. London’s Guardian newspaper reported Friday that GCHQ, Britain’s equivalent of the NSA, also has been secretly gathering intelligence from the same internet companies through an operation set up by the NSA. PRISM was launched from the ashes of President George W. Sens.

Here Is the Pro-NSA Surveillance Argument Despite the outrage expressed by some over the NSA’s domestic surveillance programs, roughly 56 percent of Americans believe it is “acceptable” for the spy agency to secretly collect the telephone call records of millions of Americans, according to a new Washington Post-Pew Research Center poll. Additionally, 45 percent of Americans say the government should be able to go even further and monitor all online activity if it would prevent future terrorist attacks. The majority of respondents, 52 percent, say that type of indiscriminate monitoring should not occur.

How the NSA's Domestic Spying Program Works The NSA’s domestic spying program, known in official government documents as the “President’s Surveillance Program,” ("The Program") was implemented by President George W. Bush shortly after the attacks on September 11, 2001. The US Government still considers the Program officially classified, but a tremendous amount of information has been exposed by various whistleblowers, admitted to by government officials during Congressional hearings and with public statements, and reported on in investigations by major newspaper across the country. Our NSA Domestic Spying Timeline has a full list of important dates, events, and reports, but we also want to explain—to the extent we understand it—the full scope of the Program and how the government has implemented it. In the weeks after 9/11, President Bush authorized the National Security Agency (NSA) to conduct a range of surveillance activities inside the United States, which had been barred by law and agency policy for decades.

Revealed: how Microsoft handed the NSA access to encrypted messages | World news Microsoft has collaborated closely with US intelligence services to allow users' communications to be intercepted, including helping the National Security Agency to circumvent the company's own encryption, according to top-secret documents obtained by the Guardian. The files provided by Edward Snowden illustrate the scale of co-operation between Silicon Valley and the intelligence agencies over the last three years. They also shed new light on the workings of the top-secret Prism program, which was disclosed by the Guardian and the Washington Post last month. The documents show that: • Microsoft helped the NSA to circumvent its encryption to address concerns that the agency would be unable to intercept web chats on the new Outlook.com portal; • The agency already had pre-encryption stage access to email on Outlook.com, including Hotmail; • Material collected through Prism is routinely shared with the FBI and CIA, with one NSA document describing the program as a "team sport".

(1) At the same time Amazon.com is building this massive cloud computing infrastructure for the CIA, the company is also shipping millions of Fire TV set-top devices to customers who are placing them in their private homes. I have one myself, and it's a terrific piece of hardware for delivering Prime video content. In fact, in terms of its usability and specs, it's far superior to Roku or Netflix-capable devices. But there's something about it that always struck me as odd: it has no power button. This is highly unusual and apparently done by design. Note carefully that this does not say your Fire TV device WILL go into sleep mode after 30 minutes; only that it is "designed" to go into sleep mode after 30 minutes. But are they to be believed? And guess what?

MATRIX – Ce que nos données Gmail révèlent de notre vie sociale Que contiennent les métadonnées transmises par Google à la National Security Agency (NSA) américaine ou celles qu’observe en France la Direction générale de la sécurité extérieure (DGSE) ? Les métadonnées sont l’enveloppe d’une donnée, son contenant. Dans le cadre d’une conversation téléphonique, ce seront par exemple les fadettes, les factures détaillées des appels émis et reçus et les numéros contactés, mais pas le contenu de la conversation. L’accès à ces données techniques constitue-t-il de l’espionnage ? Le tout nouvel outil Immersion, développé au Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) par le professeur César Hidalgo et ses étudiants, apporte d’intéressants éléments de réponse à cette question, et montre qu’avec les seules métadonnées, on peut en savoir beaucoup sur une personne, ses fréquentations et ses réseaux. >> Lire la tribune cosignée par César Hidalgo parue dans Le Monde daté du 27 juin : « Il est temps de parler des métadonnées« Signaler ce contenu comme inapproprié
