NSA Security running amok to plug leaks about 9/11

(WMR) -- WMR has learned that the National Security “Q” Group,
responsible for security, has grown to an immense security and
counter-intelligence force, with an estimated one thousand government
employees, contractors, and paid informants. NSA’s Security force is
reportedly primarily tasked with plugging any leaks of classified or
other information that points to U.S. government’s involvement with
the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001.
NSA Security has doggedly pursued a number of NSA employees, some in
“sting” operations, others in frequent polygraphs and repeated
security interviews where threats are made by thuggish NSA security
agents with and without the presence of FBI agents, and others in
constant surveillance operations at their homes, churches, and other
locations away from the Fort Meade, Maryland, headquarters of the
agency.
The most egregious NSA Security operation against an NSA employee was
the 2004 arrest of NSA analyst Ken Ford, Jr. Ford became a target of
opportunity for NSA Security and the FBI after Vice President Dick
Cheney noted his name on an NSA signals intelligence report on Saddam
Hussein’s government that stated that there was no proof from
interceptions of Iraqi communications that Saddam Hussein possessed
“weapons of mass destruction.”
Cheney and other neocons in the Bush White House arranged for a
“sting” operation to be mounted as retribution against Ford. Ford was
charged with taking classified papers home from NSA headquarters,
something that is quite impossible considering the stringent security
in place at one of the most-secured complexes in the world.
Ford was convicted by a tainted jury and sentenced to seven years in
federal prison. Ford, who is African-American, originally had an
African-American federal trial judge. However, the judge was replaced
by a pro-Iraq war Jewish U.S. judge, Peter Messitte, who set out to
ensure a guilty conviction of Ford in cahoots with Jewish U.S.
Attorney for Maryland Rod Rosenstein, and Jewish Assistant U.S.
Attorney for Southern Maryland David Salem, both Bush appointees.
Nothing was done by the judge or prosecutors to dismiss from the jury
a contractor whose company had major contracts with NSA. The trio of
Messitte, Rosenstein, and Salem have also “rocket-docketed” a number
of cases, resulting in slam-dunk convictions, against Arab- and
Iranian-Americans in the southern district of Maryland.
NSA’s Security chief is Kemp Ensor III. Ensor has built up what
amounts to a massive law enforcement and intelligence agency in
Maryland that operates as a virtual independent operation that answers
to no one. Maryland’s congressional delegation has shown little
interest in oversight over the security operation.
In fact, WMR has learned that many NSA employees, aware of the
political and other misuse of their agency by the Bush-Cheney
administration, avidly backed Barack Obama for president hoping that
the past era when NSA complied with the Foreign Intelligence
Surveillance Act (FISA) and the Fourth Amendment of the Constitution
would be restored. However, many NSA employees are bitterly
disappointed that Obama has done nothing to curtail not only the
widespread surveillance of the communications of law-abiding Americans
but the constant “Stasi-like” harassment and surveillance conducted by
Ensor’s team of agents and confidential informants.
WMR has also learned that NSA Security has been authorized to work
directly with Washington area local police department intelligence
divisions to carry out its surveillance of not only NSA employees and
contractors, but journalists who report on the activities of NSA. Two
police departments mentioned in this respect are the Alexandria,
Virginia, and Anne Arundel County, Maryland, sheriff departments.
One senior level NSA official recently found himself sitting in front
of NSA Security questioners asking why he gave his NSA business cards
to some students at a university. It turns out the official was trying
to recruit students for NSA employment. When the official asked why
there was a problem in his handing out his business cards, the answer
by NSA Security was that some of them, all American citizens, had
“Russian last names.”
Even former NSA employees and contractors are being subjected to
continual NSA Security surveillance and harassment at their work
places and other locations, according to WMR’s sources. Some have lost
their jobs as a result of pressure from NSA Security.
WMR has in the past reported on NSA surveillance of journalists. On
December 28, 2005, we reported: “WMR has learned that the National
Security Agency (NSA), on the orders of the Bush administration,
eavesdropped on the private conversations and e-mail of its own
employees, employees of other U.S. intelligence agencies -- including
the CIA and DIA -- and their contacts in the media, Congress, and
oversight agencies and offices. The journalist surveillance program,
code named ‘FIRSTFRUITS,’ was part of a Director of Central
Intelligence (DCI) program that was maintained at least until October
2004 and was authorized by then-DCI Porter Goss. FIRSTFRUITS was
authorized as part of a DCI ‘Countering Denial and Deception’ program
responsible to an entity known as the Foreign Denial and Deception
Committee (FDDC). Since the intelligence community’s reorganization,
the DCI has been replaced by the Director of National Intelligence
headed by John Negroponte and his deputy, former NSA director Gen.
Michael Hayden.”
Since the revelation of the NSA journalist monitoring database, which
later added communications intercepts of journalists’ phone calls,
emails, and faxes to its database, NSA Security has, according to
information received by WMR, conducted physical surveillance of
journalists it deems to be threats to the operations of the agency.
The top targeted journalists, who make up a virtual “rogues’ gallery”
at NSA Security, complete with photographs and other personal
information, are: former Baltimore Sun and current Wall Street Journal
reporter Siobhan Gorman, Washington Times reporter Bill Gertz, former
Baltimore Sun and current New York Times reporter Scott Shane,
Baltimore Sun reporter Phil McGowan, author James Bamford, New York
Times reporters James Risen and Eric Lichtblau, and this editor, Wayne
Madsen.
In addition to the aforementioned, FIRSTFRUITS also contained the
names of former Washington Post reporter Vernon Loeb, New Yorker
journalist Seymour Hersh, and UPI’s John C. K. Daly.
Ironically, NSA Security allegedly has its own connections in the news
media. A Washington Times source revealed that the paper’s writer of
the “Inside the Beltway” column, John McCaslin, has a relative inside
NSA Security -- Robert McCaslin, the chief of NSA Security
counter-intelligence and the chief “sting” agent against Ford. Robert
McCaslin, according to the Times source, is the brother of the paper’s
columnist.
NSA Security is also able to utilize the agency’s most sophisticated
electronic surveillance systems to monitor the activities of
journalists. The cell phones of journalists are routinely used as
listening devices, even when turned off. And what was considered a
sure-fire method of avoiding having a cell phone used as a
transmitter, removing the batteries in what has become known as
“batteries out” conversations, is no longer safe. Even when the
batteries are removed, the global positioning system (GPS) chip in
cell phones continues to have enough residual power that two to three
pings from satellites can give away a person’s location and what other
uniquely identifiable cell phones are at the same location.
The bottom line is that a number of NSA personnel who were on duty in
the months leading up to 9/11, the day of the attacks, and subsequent
weeks and months, are aware of undeniable facts that point to a
massive cover-up by the Bush-Cheney administration of the
circumstances surrounding 9/11, including what actually befell United
Airlines flight 93 and who was issuing direct military orders from the
White House.
The Obama administration, rather than lessen the pressure on the NSA
personnel, has turned up the heat and is resorting to even more
draconian methods to ensure silence. The word from inside NSA is that
a state of fear exists and the mission of the agency, to conduct
surveillance of foreign communications to provide threat indications
and warnings to U.S. troops and policy makers and protect sensitive
U.S. government communications from unauthorized eavesdropping is
suffering as a result.
