    Default MENWITH HILL: NSA's Spy Center in the UK - 2012 Report ( This is not new) !!

    I have touched on this in a previous post....This will also explain why any leaks
    about this place will be treated as a violation of National Security ......and
    why the US/UK are so interlinked at this level, it goes back to WW11 thru
    the cold war to today. A massive defence bureaucracy that needs an enemy
    or the fear of one.








    British Big Bro: UK spy agency & NSA 'siblings', share mined data






    Published on 22 Jun 2013


    With the US grappling with privacy debates over its recently exposed surveillance
    tactics President Obama has nominated James Comey to lead the FBI. He is a
    former high ranking Justice Department official under President George W. Bush.
    RT talks about this surveillance issue with Glenmore Treaner Harvey, editor in chief
    of the World Intelligence Review website.

    MENWITH HILL: NSA's Spy Center in the UK - 2012 Report




    Published on 10 Jun 2013


    From March of 2012:

    America's largest eavesdropping centre in Britain, Menwith Hill in North Yorkshire,
    is being expanded in a multimillion-pound programme as it becomes increasingly
    vital to US intelligence and military operations, according to a study of the
    controversial base released on Thursday.

    The base, which plays a key role in the global network of the National Security
    Agency (NSA), GCHQ's American partner, now includes 33 radomes -- commonly
    called "golf balls" after the white sheeting protecting the satellite receiving and
    transmission stations -- and is undergoing a big construction programme.

    The study describes the programme, called Project Phoenix, as "one of the largest
    and most sophisticated high technology programmes carried out anywhere in the
    UK over the last 10 years". Work on it has been reserved for US-based arms
    corporations including Lockheed Martin and Northrop Grumman, and their
    personnel with high-level security clearance, it notes.

    Though the base is officially called RAF Menwith Hill, most of the staff there are US
    employees of the NSA. The total number of people working there is due to increase

    from 1,800 last year (of whom 400 were British) to 2,500 in 2015.

    The costs to Britain of servicing Menwith Hill, like other American bases in Britain,
    are confidential under cost-sharing arrangements between the UK and the US. The
    total cost of the equipment at the base, and running it, is classified.

    However, official figures released in the US show that this year the NSA is spending
    $68m (£43m) just on a generator plant to provide power for new supercomputers
    at the base.Computers at the base are capable of carrying out 2m intercepts an
    hour, according to the Federation of American Scientists, an independent US body.
    The report on the base was commissioned by the Yorkshire Campaign for Nuclear
    Disaarmament (CND) and funded by the Joseph Rowntree Charitable Trust. It said
    the base was being expanded "to provide qualitatively new capabilities for
    intelligence-led warfare".

    Menwith Hill will combine its traditional role of eavesdropping on communications
    and missile tests to "co-ordinate real-time military operations such as covert
    warfare, using a variety of intelligence sources".

    Satellite communications and imagery and supercomputers at the base "can
    provide real-time surveillance to support US military operations", according to the
    new study. It said Menwith Hill would be "fully operational as an upgraded, active
    intelligence hub by 2015".

    Steve Schofield, the study's author, said: "It is no longer possible to think of
    Menwith Hill as simply carrying out traditional military, diplomatic and commercial
    electronic spying for the United States, but rather to recognise its role as an active
    provider of integrated intelligence to support new forms of warfare."

    He added: "This paradigm shift towards permanent surveillance from space and
    real-time military interventions anywhere in the world through remotely-controlled
    weapons raises profound questions about the western way of war but questions
    that are, as yet, barely being addressed."

    The RAF describes Menwith Hill's primary mission as providing "intelligence support
    for UK, US and allied interests". Satellite communications also provide data for the
    US missile defence system, the RAF says.

    It would be "inappropriate to go into any detail about operations carried out at RAF
    Menwith Hill in support of national security", it says.

    "Public and parliamentary scrutiny of RAF Menwith Hill is provided through clear
    lines of ministerial responsibility and by the intelligence and security committee
    (ISC)."

    US 'intelligence war' triggers 'Occupy spy base' in UK



    Published on 22 Apr 2012

    Menwith Hill, the largest intelligence gathering and surveillance center outside the
    US, in the heart of the UK's Yorkshire Dales, is surrounded by protesters
    demonstrating against America's planned missile defense system. The local
    residents, often camping outside, have been joined by members of the global
    Occupy movement, supporting ongoing local efforts. To keep up with new types of
    warfare, billions of dollars has been invested in Menwith Hill over the last decade. It
    has enabled the base to remain a vital component of the global US surveillance
    network.

    In 1991 I found myself working alongside a "technical manager" within a commercial utility environment. A very nice, compliant, yet very system indoctrinated gentleman who decanted his encounter with the "record keeping" of the UK authorities.

    His claim to fame, which we admired him greatly for, was his journey of involvement of supporting the striking dockworkers in the Gdansk shipyard in the late 1980s (1988 I think). The UK authorities through their intermediaries sought drivers for the convoy of western aid which were being sent as humanitarian leverage against the unpopular Russian inspired political system. He actually drove the first truck through the gates of the shipyard to the cheers of the waiting dockers and broadcast worldwide (apparently). He did produce photographs a few days after the telling of the tale, which until then, I/we chastened each of his daily actions with ribald references to saving us as he did them:-)

    The story didn't end there. On returning to the UK and seeking employment applied to the Prison Service in some sort of technical role. At the interview, lasting a couple of hours, he discovered those sat opposite him knew everything about his life (private and business) that he had not declared on his application. Most of the time he was quizzed on aspects of his life which were not included in the application and was he hiding something. His lack of success there was probably how I came to meet him.

    They, the Elite, know everything about you. The monster of Government employment, compartmentalisation and private public relationships means every day in the UK, those in employment are involved with supporting the surveillance of friends, family and others. Many do not know or understand why they do what they do other than they are rewarded with plaudits for some form for obedient activity. It is the movie "Matrix" all around us, our daily lives, there is no escaping it and the worst part is - the sheeple continue to accept it no matter what hardships occur. Complain and you will be marginalised, ostracised and made (or your family) to suffer abysmally.

    The internet just makes it easier. Owning a mobile and using it gives them a tracking record of our movements and everything we say for our lifetime.

    The irony is, just who is the paranoid one?

    I do remember that a small group of people penetrated one of these facilities and stole some NSA documents during the late 1980s early 1990s.

    Great post Cider !
    The critical question about the US-UK relationship is which corporations are closely linked to both governments and both countries. The links go back to Abraham Lincoln (though he had good intentions).
    The UK has been as enmeshed in this whole structure and process as the US. Right from day 1.

    Glad to see someone is on the ball !

    Best wishes to you, Bright.

    You know I still have not heard anyone talk about data obtained from the UK's MASSIVE CCTV network...
    For me this is the most worrying case of privacy intrusion.

    I for one will join in with anyone, I don't care what color you are as long as you want to change this miserable condition that exists on this Earth - Malcolm X / Tsar Of The Star

    Revealing Reality: US & UK 'evolve into full blown police states'



    Published on 22 Jun 2013


    The US government has filed criminal charges against Edward Snowden - the man
    who told the world about the scope of America's global surveillance network.
    Washington now wants help from Hong Kong officials - because Snowden's been
    hiding in the Chinese territory since unleashing the revelations about the National
    Security Agency. Julian Assange has meanwhile published a speech in which he
    severely criticizes President Obama for his handling of whistle blowers. RT is joined
    by geopolitical analyst Eric Draitser, stopimperalism.com.

    NSA investing $300 million in UK intelligence center



    Published on 20 May 2014

    Washington is investing $300 million to convert a US military base in the United Kingdom
    into a National Security Agency intelligence center. RAF Croughton will employ up to 1,250
    personnel and is expected to be upgraded by 2017. The facility, which will be one of the
    largest outside the US, will be shared with the Government Communications Headquarters
    (GCHQ), Britain's NSA equivalent. RT's Polly Boiko reports from London with more details
    on the NSA's massive expansion plans.

    NSA Spying Secrets Revealed at Pine Gap & Menwith Hill



    Published on 23 Nov 2014
    Visit my Website for more information on this and other related topics
    : http://www.occultphysics.com/

    The NSA Echelon matrix revealed. In this presentation I provide
    incontrovertible proof of an energetic connection between the NSA Pine
    Gap base in Australia and its sister site, the Menwith Hill Base in the UK.
    On the surface they are both considered to be concerned with electronic
    surveillance and signals intelligence.

    However, a unique connection between both facilities is evident based
    upon a 60Hz EM frequency connecting both sites to the earth itself.
    Evidence is presented that they were carefully positioned to interact
    with the earth itself through resonance, and that this is in accordance
    with the theories of Nikola Tesla who pioneered the idea of a ‘World
    System’ of communications and power.

    Rather than just being involved with wiretapping or alleged domestic
    spying, it would appear that the Pine Gap and Menwith Hill bases are
    likely involved in directly tapping into the natural energy fields of the
    earth, and capable of drawing off immense amounts of power for
    covert purposes.
