The CIA, Fetullah Gülen and Turkey’s Failed July 2016 Coup

NOVANEWS Behind Turkish Arrest Warrant for Ex CIA Graham Fuller By F. William Engdahl New Eastern Outlook The Office of the Istanbul Prosecutor has issued arrest warrants for two “former” CIA agents, accusing them of involvement in the failed July 2016 coup attempt against the government of President Recep Tayyip Erdogan. US media and various Washington think-tanks have dismissed the charges as “implausible” and a “likely tit-for-tat” response of Erdogan for the arrest by US authorities of Reza Zarrab, a Turkish-Iranian gold trader accused of violating US sanctions against Iran. Clearly is there is far more behind the accusations than is being said so far. On December 1, Turkish prosecutors issued an arrest warrant for Graham E. Fuller, former head of the CIA’s National Inte...

Snake-Oil Alert – Encryption Does Not Prevent Mass-Snooping

NOVANEWS By Moon of Alabama The WikiLeaks stash of CIA hacking documents shows tools used by the CIA to hack individual cell-phones and devices. There are no documents yet that suggest mass snooping efforts on a very large scale. Unlike the NSA which has a “collect it all” attitude towards internet traffic and content the CIA seems to be more interested in individual hacking. This suggests that the CIA can not decipher the modern encrypted communication it adversaries use. It therefore has to attack their individual devices. But it does not mean that the CIA can not engage in mass snooping. The New York Times description is wrong: Some technical experts pointed out that while the documents suggest that the C.I.A. might be able to compromise individual smartphones, there was...

CIA Leak Shows We’re “Sliding Down the Slippery Slope Toward Totalitarianism, Where Private Lives Do Not Exist”: Dennis Kucinich

NOVANEWS By Washington's Blog Washington's Blog 16-year congressman Dennis Kucinich writes: That the CIA has reached into the lives of all Americans through its wholesale gathering of the nation’s “haystack” of information has already been reported. It is bad enough that the government spies on its own people. It is equally bad that the CIA, through its incompetence, has opened the cyberdoor to anyone with the technological skills and connections to spy on anyone else. The constant erosion of privacy at the hands of the government and corporations has annihilated the concept of a “right to privacy,” which is embedded in the rationale of the First, Third, Fourth, Ninth and Fourteenth Amendments to the U.S. Constitution. It is becoming increasingly clear that we are sliding d...

#Vault7: How CIA steals hacking fingerprints from Russia & others to cover its tracks

NOVANEWS © Larry Downing / Reuters The CIA can hide its own fingerprints from its hacking exploits and attribute blame to others, such as Russia and China, according to WikiLeaks’ Year Zero confidential data release. READ MORE: WikiLeaks publishes 'entire hacking capacity of the CIA' Every hacking technique leaves a “fingerprint” which, when collated, can be used to connect different attacks and tie them to the same culprit. The CIA’s Remote Development Branch (RDB)’s Umbrage sub-group collects an archive of hacking exploits created by other actors, like Russia and other hackers, and leaves this false trace for others to detect.

WikiLeaks CIA Vault 7: ‘We are looking at George Orwell’s 1984’

NOVANEWS © Karl-Josef Hildenbrand / www.globallookpress.com WikiLeaks revelations about the CIA and its scope of activity show that this is not only a security issue - it impacts businesses while the privacy we take for granted is at risk.

Trends WikiLeaks CIA files Whistleblowing website WikiLeaks released on Tuesday a part of confidential documents on America's Central Intelligence Agency.

A Troubled CIA Analyst Finds Jesus

NOVANEWS And the devil is spelled T-R-U-M-P By Philip Giraldi • Unz Review Last Monday The Washington Post featured an op-ed by one Edward Price entitled “I didn’t think I’d ever leave the CIA. But because of Trump, I quit.” I must admit that it was refreshing at first to read something in The Post that did not rush to blame BOTH Trump and Vladimir Putin for everything going wrong in the world but, not to worry, evil Russia was indeed cited a bit farther along in the narrative. Edward “Ned” Price is a likely lad. He has a nice intense look, clean cut, neat tie, good credentials with a degree in international relations from an unidentified college. He decided on a CIA career fifteen years ago and “work[ed] proudly for Republican and Democratic presidents…” Perhaps not temperamentally c...

NOVANEWS The United States is entering the final phase of a multi-year plan to establish a uniform database to track and report on foreign assistance to groups that are active on its territory, the US Department of State announced in a press release on Friday. The Foreign Assistance Data Review (FADR) program was established in 2014 and is being implemented in four phases, the first step being a December 2015 study, with recommendations on how to track and report foreign assistance data. “Phase Two concluded in September 2016, producing an FADR Data Element Index (Index), which identifies 57 data elements that must be standardized and incorporated into the enterprise-wide data management systems,” the release stated. The final two phases will establish reporting requirements and a bu...

US Intelligence Recognizes the End of Unipolar World? “Growth of Populism… End of US Domination”

NOVANEWS By Miguel Ángel Barrios Alainet The last few years were marked by the debate on the characteristics of world politics after the end of the cold war. The majority of major analysts of the Anglo-American political-academic realm left no doubt that we were moving towards the formation of a unipolar world dominated by the United States. The evidence of the invasion of Afghanistan and Iraq, during the government of George W. Bush, founded on a document under the name of Project for a New American Century, left no margin for debate. This was heightened by the political crisis of the Western political system and the Anglo-Saxonization of International Relations, repeating the “scientific” discourses of the gurus, for example Kaplan, Kagan, Nye, Fukuyama, etc. In the year 20...

The Soft Coup Collapses – CIA Bluffing, Russia Did Not Hack, Blackmail Revealed – What Next?

NOVANEWS By Robert David Steele CIA was bluffing, produced no evidence – Russians did not “hack” the election. Is this the beginning of the end of the Deep State in the USA? Can Trump clean house & wage peace? Aided by enormous restraint on the part of Vladimir Putin, President of Russia, the soft coup in the USA has collapsed. Not only has the US Intelligence Community (US IC) lost all semblance of credibility with incoming President Donald Trump, but the blackmail by the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) of Senators John McCain and Lindsey Graham has been revealed by investigative journalist Wayne Madsen. Credit for the defeat of the soft coup has been earned by two persons and one group. Donald Trump earns the most credit – bringing to the matter his deep business experie...
