WHISTLEBLOWER SETH MARSHALL LEAKS

NSA DOCUMENTS BEFORE FLEEING TO MOSCOW

Thomas Quinn's first day at CE News

The Empire is Corporate (Op-Ed)

By Thomas Quinn, CE News

 

In 1757, when Great Britain seized control of India, the acquisition of that

jewel of the empire was driven not by Britain's government, but by a pub-

licly traded corporate proxy-the East India Company. Almost a century

before, the crown granted the company the right to autonomous acquisi-

tion of territory, to mint money, command troops, make war, and exercise

its own laws. A corporation was given the authority of a government with-

out the accountability of one, and the consequences of that decision cre-

ated an uneasy balance of power that still simmers just below the surface.

 

It was the East India Company's tea that the Sons of Liberty threw into the

Boston Harbor. To the colonies, the corporation was an unchecked strong-

arm of a tyrannical oppressor. State laws imposed many regulations: Corp-

orations could not participate in the political process or buy stock in other

corporations, and if they violated laws the corporate charter was revoked.

 

The strict boundaries the Founding Fathers' applied to corporate structure

contrast starkly with modern regulations, largely thanks to the economic

uptick wrought by Civil War. Slow-paced government regulation enabled

rapid manufacturing of weapons, and in the chaos of war newfound profit

allowed corporations to buy legislatures, judges, and even presidents.

Reconstruction of the south, a war hero in office with no political experi-

ence, and a cabinet of unqualified relatives was the perfect environment

for corporate intervention.

 

This status quo was further entrenched in 1886, when a Supreme Court

decision gave corporations the right to freedom of speech and allowed

them to endorse political campaigns. By 1919, corporations employed more

than 80 percent of the workforce and produced most of America's wealth.

Subsequent relaxation of banking regulations contributed to the great

depression ten years later. The war that followed created 17 million new

civilian jobs, increased industrial productivity by 96 percent, and doubled

corporate profits after taxes. It was the most significant economic boom

since the Civil War.

 

The parallels in modern history are clear. 2010's Citizens United decision

further solidified corporate spending on federal elections; super PACs rai-

sed $828 million for the 2012 election alone. Deregulations in the housing

and banking markets made by two different administrations led to one of

the largest recessions in US history. Modern wars, however, have not yiel-

ded the same economic health. Data shows that, since 2000, wages and

salaries have diverged from corporate GDP, staying even or trending dow-

nward as corporate profits skyrocketed.

 

The influence of corporations on government, while expressed dramatically

in current events, is far from new. The state of corporate overreach is not a

failure of modern legislation but a natural outcome of centuries of Darw-

inian business, dictated by the system itself. Power has consistently tipped,

sometimes gradually and sometimes as a rushing tide, in favor of corpora-

tions. Deemed "too big to fail," they now hold America hostage, dictating

policy in pursuit of the bottom line. When will the private sector replace

the government entirely?

 

NSA Leak Exposes Widespread Corruption

By Steven Wallace, CE News

 

The so-called "Death to Secrets" leak to CE News of more than a million

classified files details not only a vast global web of surveillance activities

made against governments, corporations, and private citizens, but also

contains indications of possible war crimes allegedly orchestrated by NSA

director Dylan Grove, according to documents contained in the leak.

 

The NSA is authorized to track international and national terrorist activities

by monitoring, collecting, and processing data obtained through court or-

dered directives. However, early implications of the leak suggest that some

operatives inside the agency routinely bypassed court authorizations and

used administrative protocols to pursue surveillance activities generally

considered outside the boundaries of the agency's legal guidelines.

 

Most disturbing are the implications of "Operation: Hand Unseen," which

detail the sale of narcotics and weapons for the funding of anti-terrorist

hit squads. The White House has not responded as to whether it was aware

of such operations. The leak, one of the largest known data breaches in US

history, is now reportedly attributed to former NSA analyst Seth Marshall, a

31-year-old contractor who worked for several government security agen-

cies and who has publicly taken credit.

 

"Operation: Hand Unseen was the last straw," Marshall claimed in a state-

ment published alongside the documents. "Although I often became dis-

tressed taking part in reckless meta-data gathering and sifting operations,

I persevered by focusing on the potential good in revealing those who thr-

eaten us. Once I witnessed the indiscriminate gross neglect and disregard

of agency protocols in order to remain clandestine, and how it eventually

led to wanton criminal behavior under the ruse of keeping the nation safe,

I had enough."

 

Whistleblower Seth Marshall

Killed Outside Moscow Apartment

By Jim Davidson, FIN News

 

Self-proclaimed "Death to Secrets" leaker Seth Marshall was found dead

early this morning outside his Moscow apartment, the victim of an appa-

rent execution-style murder. Russian police reported finding Marshall

around 4 a.m. lying face down in a large pool of blood with several close-

range gunshot wounds to the back of his head.

Russia and CIA officials refrain from calling the murder political, yet given

the political chaos that followed the "Death to Secrets" leaks, both agree it

is reasonable to suspect that it was either an explicit warning to leakers,

served politically motivated imperatives, or was simply an act of revenge.

 

Moscow police have begun an aggressive investigation, but insist they have

no suspects yet. "While we understand the mounting urgency to solve this

crime," said Moscow detective Sergei Smertikoff, "we will conduct a most

meticulously thorough investigation to ensure that if this is politically mot-

ivated, we will have a strong case for taking it wherever it leads."

 

Marshall's historic "Death to Secrets" leak of US government surveillance

data in 2014 revealed operations indicating that various government ag-

encies far overstepped their legal authority. Shortly after the leak became

public, NSA director Dylan Grove was convicted for his role in illegal surv-

eillance and counterintelligence activities leading to the deaths of several

suspected terrorists. He is still at large today.

 

CIA sources suspected Marshall could be living in Moscow under an ass-

umed identity. The government, at the behest of President Obama, has

been seeking Marshall's arrest. The president has repeatedly stated that

he is supportive of government whistleblowers; however, he insists that

leakers do far more damage than good, thus, the government had no

choice but to seek Marshall's arrest for revealing classified information.

 

Before going undercover, Marshall leaked more than one million gover-

nment documents to the news outlet CE. Marshall may have retained

many more documents that were not released; in several clandestine

Skype interviews he claimed to have documents to serve as a "nuclear op-

tion" in the event of his death.

 

Media sources have yet to acknowledge receipt of anything from Marshall

after his death.

Hillary Rodham Clinton was elected the 45th

president of the United States on Tuesday,

becoming the first woman to shatter the ul-

timate glass ceiling.

 

President-elect Clinton celebrated late into

the night with her husband former President

Bill Clinton and thousands of supporters in

New York City. "Truth trumps hate, and that is

why we were victorious tonight," said Presid-

ent-elect Clinton.

 

Critics noted that the race was surprisingly

close despite being tainted by Democratic

Party ugliness, a divisive primary campaign

from Sen. Bernie Sanders campaign, and

unscrupulous corporate donors.

 

Undaunted by controversy, supporters chan-

ted "love trumps hate, love trumps hate" from

the president-elects supporters as her victory

became apparent. The results came in indic-

ating Clinton's narrow victories in Pennsylva-

nia, Wisconsin, and Michigan.

 

"Only 100 years ago," said Clinton, "I would

n't have had the right to vote, much less att-

ain the highest office in the United States.

And tonight, I am your president-elect!"

 

Mr. Trump finally made a rambling and at

times infuriated concession speech after 3

a.m. in which he blamed his loss on the fake

news media, voter fraud by illegal aliens, and surveillance by Obama's security state. Trump

pledged to continue to support the country

on his own through these trying economic

times, and wouldn't rule out running again,

though at 71 years of age that appears

unlikely.
