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

[Cidersomerset]

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.

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

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

RfHRABGWl1w


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

K7Yn_qnITyo

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. :hail:

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.

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.

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

Visit my Website for more information on this and other related topics

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.
