High-Level NSA Whistleblower Says Blackmail Is a Huge
Blackmail has always been a tool of any intel agency and government control,
dodgy elections, Bribes, Honey traps the list is endless. Though it has been
swept under the carpet, simply by not giving it a great deal of attention in
the mainstream it was hoped to keep it 'Our little Secret'...
Yes stories do appear in the press and in many Spy novels , TV shows etc
and that may have diluted the real truth of what is going on. Blackmail
is how the world is run from Corporate to State/country level.....

‘Section 11 of the Criminal Law Amendment Act 1885 made gross indecency a
crime in the United Kingdom, which included male gay sex. The Amendment was so
frequently used to blackmail gay Brits that it was dubbed the “Blackmailer’s Charter”.
There is widespread speculation that Pope Benedict resigned because of sexual blackmail.
And the American government has a long history of blackmailing people – including
high-level officials- with knowledge of their sexual peccadilloes.’

The Untold Story In the NSA Spying Scandal: Blackmail
It is well-documented that governments use information to blackmail and control people.
The Express reported last month:
❝
British security services infiltrated and funded the notorious Paedophile Information
Exchange in a covert operation to identify and possibly blackmail establishment
figures, a Home Office whistleblower alleges.
***
Whistleblower Mr X, whose identity we have agreed to protect, became a very
senior figure in local government before retiring a few years ago.
***
He has given a formal statement to that effect to detectives from Operation Fernbridge ….
***
“And he said [the pedophile group] was being funded at the request of Special
Branch which found it politically useful to identify people who were paedophiles….”
Section 11 of the Criminal Law Amendment Act 1885 made gross indecency a crime
in the United Kingdom, which included male gay sex. The Amendment was so
frequently used to blackmail gay Brits that it was dubbed the “Blackmailer’s Charter”.
There is widespread speculation that Pope Benedict resigned because of sexual blackmail.
And the American government has a long history of blackmailing people – including
high-level officials- with knowledge of their sexual peccadilloes.
Wikipedia notes:
❝
The Lavender Scare refers to the fear and persecution of homosexuals in the 1950s
in the United States, which paralleled the anti-communist campaign known as McCarthyism.
Because the psychiatric community regarded homosexuality as a mental illness,
gay men and lesbians were considered susceptible to blackmail ….
Former U.S. Senator Alan K. Simpson has written: “The so-called ‘Red Scare’ has
been the main focus of most historians of that period of time. A lesser-known
element . . . and one that harmed far more people was the witch-hunt McCarthy
and others conducted against homosexuals.”
FBI head Hoover was famous for blackmailing everyone … including politicians. The
New York Timesreports:
❝
J. Edgar Hoover compiled secret dossiers on the sexual peccadillos and private
misbehavior of those he labeled as enemies — really dangerous people like …
President John F. Kennedy, for example.
Alfred McCoy – Professor of history at the University of Wisconsin-Madison –
provides details:
❝
Upon taking office on Roosevelt’s death in early 1945, Harry Truman soon learned
the extraordinary extent of FBI surveillance. “We want no Gestapo or Secret
Police,” Truman wrote in his diary that May. “FBI is tending in that direction. They
aredabbling in sex-life scandals and plain blackmail.”
After a quarter of a century of warrantless wiretaps, Hoover built up a veritable
archive of sexual preferences among America’s powerful and used it to shape the
direction of U.S. politics. He distributed a dossier on Democratic presidential
candidate Adlai Stevenson’s alleged homosexuality to assure his defeat in the 1952
presidential elections,circulated audio tapes of Martin Luther King, Jr.’s
philandering, and monitoredPresident Kennedy’s affair with mafia mistress Judith
Exner. And these are just a small sampling of Hoover’s uses of scandal to keep the
Washington power elite under his influence.
“The moment [Hoover] would get something on a senator,” recalled William
Sullivan, the FBI’s chief of domestic intelligence during the 1960s, “he’d send one
of the errand boys up and advise the senator that ‘we’re in the course of an
investigation, and we by chance happened to come up with this data on your
daughter…’ From that time on, the senator’s right in his pocket.” After his death, an
official tally found Hoover had 883 such files on senators and 722 more on
congressmen.
***
With a few hundred cable probes and computerized decryption, the NSA can now
capture the kind of gritty details of private life that J. Edgar Hoover so treasured
and provide the sort of comprehensive coverage of populations once epitomized by
secret police like East Germany’s Stasi. And yet, such comparisons only go so far.
After all, once FBI agents had tapped thousands of phones, stenographers had
typed up countless transcripts, and clerks had stored this salacious paper harvest in
floor-to-ceiling filing cabinets, J. Edgar Hoover still only knew about the inner-
workings of the elite in one city: Washington, D.C. To gain the same intimate detail
for an entire country, the Stasi had to employ one police informer for every six East
Germans — an unsustainable allocation of human resources. By contrast, the
marriage of the NSA’s technology to the Internet’s data hubs now allows the
agency’s 37,000 employees a similarly close coverage of the entire globe with just
one operative for every 200,000 people on the planet.
***
In the Obama years, the first signs have appeared that NSA surveillance will use
the information gathered to traffic in scandal, much as Hoover’s FBI once did. In
September 2013, the New York Times reported that the NSA has, since 2010,
applied sophisticated software to create “social network diagrams…, unlock as many
secrets about individuals as possible…, and pick up sensitive information likeregular
calls to a psychiatrist’s office, late-night messages to an extramarital partner.”
***
By collecting knowledge — routine, intimate, or scandalous — about foreign
leaders, imperial proconsuls from ancient Rome to modern America have gained
both the intelligence and aura of authority necessary for dominion over alien
societies. The importance, and challenge, of controlling these local elites cannot be
overstated. During its pacification of the Philippines after 1898, for instance, the
U.S. colonial regime subdued contentious Filipino leaders via pervasive policing that
swept up both political intelligence and personal scandal. And that, of course, was
just what J. Edgar Hoover was doing in Washington during the 1950s and 1960s.
***
According to James Bamford, author of two authoritative books on the
agency, “TheNSA’s operation is eerily similar to the FBI’s operations under J. Edgar
Hoover in the 1960s where the bureau used wiretapping to discover vulnerabilities,
such as sexual activity, to ‘neutralize’ their targets.”
The ACLU’s Jameel Jaffer has warned that a president might “ask the NSA to use
the fruits of surveillance to discredit a political opponent, journalist, or human
rights activist. The NSA has used its power that way in the past and it would be
naïve to think it couldn’t use its power that way in the future.” Even President
Obama’s recently convened executive review of the NSA admitted: “[I]n light of the
lessons of our own history… at some point in the future, high-level government
officials will decide that this massive database of extraordinarily sensitive private
information is there for the plucking.”
Indeed, whistleblower Edward Snowden has accused the NSA of actually conducting
such surveillance. In a December 2013 letter to the Brazilian people, he
wrote, “They even keep track of who is having an affair or looking at pornography,
in case they need to damage their target’s reputation.” If Snowden is right, then
one key goal of NSA surveillance of world leaders is not U.S. national security but
political blackmail — as it has been since 1898.
Today, the NSA tracks people’s porn-viewing habits in order to discredit activists.
The NSA also gathersand keeps nude and suggestive photos of people in order to blackmail them.
The Associated Press notes:
❝
The stockpiling of sexually explicit images of ordinary people had uncomfortable
echoes of George Orwell’s “Nineteen Eighty-Four,” where the authorities —
operating under the aegis of “Big Brother” — fit homes with cameras to monitor the
intimate details of people’s home lives.
***
The collection of nude photographs also raise questions about potential for
blackmail. America’s National Security Agency has already acknowledged that half a
dozen analysts have been caught trawling databases for inappropriate material on
partners or love interests. Other leaked documents have revealed how U.S. and
British intelligence discussed leaking embarrassing material online to blacken the
reputations of their targets.
FBI whistleblower Sibel Edmonds alleged under oath that a recently-serving
Democratic Congresswoman was secretly videotaped – for blackmail purposes –
during a lesbian affair. There have been allegations of blackmail of gay activities
within the U.S. armed forces for years.
And even the raw data on American citizens collected by the NSA is shared with
Israel. This likelyincludes Congress members and other politicians, as well.
Bill Binney – the NSA’s senior technical director and head of the agency’s global
digital information gathering program – told Washington’s Blog:
❝
Bulk collection of everything gives law enforcement all the data they need on every
citizen in the country. And, it gives NSA all that info on everyone too. Makes them
akin to a J. Edgar Hoover on super steroids.
Binney explained to us the importance of this story:
❝
Being able to blackmail people is one major aspect of bulk/mass collection that has
not been talked about. E.g., they could use this data to blackmail members of
governments around the world. But, surely just to get them to do what they
wanted them to do. Just like J. Edgar Hoover did.
This is on top of the ability to do world-wide industrial espionage.
Indeed, Binney tells us that the NSA’s blackmail tactics are the same as those used
by the KGB and Stasi:
❝
This is just one of the ways to make controlling people possible. Standard
KGB/Stasi tactics.
(Binney told the Guardian recently: “The ultimate goal of the NSA is total
population control.”)
And Binney tells Washington’s Blog that NSA surveillance allows the government to target:
•“[CIA head] General Petraeus and General Allen and others like [New York State
Attorney General] Elliot Spitzer”
•“Supreme Court Judges, other judges, Senators, Representatives, law firms and
lawyers, and just anybody you don’t like … reporters included”
NSA whistleblower Russell Tice (a key source in the 2005 New York Times report
that blew the lid off the Bush administration’s use of warrantless wiretapping), also says:
•The NSA is spying on and blackmailing its overseers in Washington, as well as
Supreme Court judges, generals and others
•The agency started spying on Barack Obama when he was just a candidate for the Senate
And senior NSA executive Thomas Drake explains to Washington’s Blog that the
NSA can use information gathered from mass surveillance to frame anyone it
doesn’t like.

Neil Gallagher is the only man alive who not only was a close personal friend of John F. Kennedy, but fought the cartel associated with the assassinations of JFK, RFK, and MLK, as a member of Congress. Miraculously, he was able to continue fighting, unlike others who joined him in the struggle. Even more miraculous, he is still alive today to tell the tale. Here he offers his personal insights into how the shadow government took over, following the assassination of JFK.
