Preparedness? </b><b>Boys’</b><b> toys? In the United States it equals civil war.</b></p>
<p dir="ltr">The US Army’s Special Operations Command never saw this coming.</p>
<p dir="ltr">An upcoming exercise codenamed JADE HELM 15 has sparked suspicion among some conspiracy theorists of impending martial law and a US military plot to wage war on the American people.</p>
<p dir="ltr"><b>THE MISSION</b></p>
<p dir="ltr">“Jade Helm is a challenging eight-week joint military and Interagency (IA) Unconventional Warfare (UW) exercise conducted throughout Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, California, Nevada, Utah and Colorado,” a statement announcing a large-scale military training drill reads.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Mobilised will be 1200 troops of the Green Berets, Navy Seals and the 82nd Airborne Division. Supporting them will be specialist aircraft and helicopter units from the US Air Force, Navy and Army.</p>
<p dir="ltr">It’s scheduled to run from July 15 to September 15.</p>
<p dir="ltr">It’s all for a cause: Special forces have special requirements.</p>
<p dir="ltr">They’re maintained at a high level of readiness to respond to hot-spots around the world. This involves the need to travel great distances, assess unfamiliar terrain, find targets and choose appropriate means of action.</p>
<p dir="ltr">The raid in which al-Qaeda kingpin Osama bin Laden was assassinated is one such example.</p>
<p dir="ltr">To achieve such a goal requires a great deal of coordination between large numbers of men from different elements of the military.</p>
<p dir="ltr">So “realistic” practice makes perfect.</p>
<p dir="ltr">But the word “realistic” appears to have some concerning connotations amid the incredibly polarised politics of the United States.</p>
<p dir="ltr">At least when it comes to a slide show presentation said to be associated with the impending exercise.</p>
<p dir="ltr">It has “concerned citizens” up in arms.</p>
<p dir="ltr"><b>THE CONSPIRACY</b></p>
<p dir="ltr">At the centre of similar, past training exercises is usually a threatening insurgent action and an objective which either needs to be destroyed or recovered.</p>
<p dir="ltr">But some of the advanced role-play planning for this exercise appears to have leaked.</p>
<p dir="ltr">An unverified document circulating online includes a map purportedly labelling parts of Texas and Utah as an “insurgent pocket”.</p>
<p dir="ltr">It’s titled: “US Army Special Operations Command — Request to Conduct Realistic Military Training (RMT) JADE HELM 15.”</p>
<p dir="ltr"><a href="http://www.scribd.com/doc/258605525">Jade Helm Martial Law WW3 Prep Document 1</a></p>
<p dir="ltr">It a document “detailing the US Army’s plan to wage war on the American people,” screams the <i><a href="http://www.infowars.com/feds-preparing-to-invade-texas/">far-right blog infowars.com</a></i>.</p>
<p dir="ltr">“Despite the document’s claims, multiple Army training manuals and studies in the past have specifically targeted such states due to concerns over the growing influence of right-leaning ideologies and groups, such as the Tea Party.”</p>
<p dir="ltr">The purported training material also mentions coordinating with local police, increased aircraft in the area at night and soldiers wearing civilian clothes and driving civilian vehicles.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Therefore armed Federal Government suppression of liberty-loving civilians. Right?</p>
<p dir="ltr">That’s left US Special Forces command scratching its collective head.</p>
<p dir="ltr"><b>TRUE BELIEVERS</b></p>
<p dir="ltr">“That notion was proposed by a few individuals who are unfamiliar with how and why USASOC conducts training exercises,” Special Forces Command spokesman Army Lt. Colonel Mark Lastoria told <i><a href="http://www.stripes.com/news/us/army-special-operations-command-pushes-back-against-alarmist-claims-about-upcoming-exercise-1.335949?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter">Stars and Stripes</a></i>.</p>
<p dir="ltr">The only thing different about JADE HELM 15 was the use of out-of-base “new challenging terrain”, he said, chosen because of its remoteness and similarity to conditions where troops are operational overseas.</p>
<p dir="ltr"><b>Is your state next?</b></p>
<p dir="ltr">Planned cooperation with local law enforcement was to avoid unfortunate misshape or misunderstandings with the general community.</p>
<p dir="ltr">“This exercise is routine training to maintain a high level of readiness for Army Special Operations Forces,” Major Lastoria reiterates.</p>
<p dir="ltr">It’s also quite a tame conspiracy, considering allegations President Barack Obama recently sought to have the South Carolina city of Charleston nuked.</p>
<p dir="ltr">So who’s telling the truth?</p>
<p dir="ltr">We’ll find out come September 15.</p>

<span style="background-color: black; color: yellow; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">You probably know that formaldehyde is a key component of embalming fluid. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: yellow; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">But are you aware that it's also been found in a leading brand of baby shampoo—and not as a random contaminant?</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Johnson & Johnson has just announced that its one hundred baby products, including the popular No More Tears shampoo, have been purged of formaldehyde, as well as 1,4-dioxane. (Almost: levels of the latter have been reduced to trace amounts.) </span><br />

<span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Under pressure from consumers, who wondered what carcinogens were doing in child care products, J&J vowed two years ago to get rid of the chemicals. Famous for its use in the preservation of dead bodies, formaldehyde is released by preservatives found in many cosmetics; 1,4-dioxane is a byproduct of the process that makes cleansing agents in personal care products less abrasive.</span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 31.428539276123047px; margin-bottom: 11px;">
<span style="background-color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><span style="color: white;">J&J maintains that the chemicals are safe, </span><a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2014/01/18/business/johnson-johnson-takes-first-step-in-removal-of-questionable-chemicals-from-products.html?_r=0" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; box-sizing: border-box; outline: none; text-decoration: none;" target="blank"><span style="color: orange;">according to the <em style="box-sizing: border-box;">New York Times</em></span></a><span style="color: white;">, even as it has spent tens of millions of dollars to eliminate them. (By 2015, the company pledges, all of its consumer products will be free of so-called chemicals of concern.) Neither formaldehyde nor 1,4-dioxane were listed on product labels, since they weren't technically ingredients; synthetic compounds used for fragrance, which are also set to be phased out, have gone undisclosed as well.</span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: black; line-height: 31.428539276123047px;"><span style="color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">While it's especially shocking to learn of the presence in baby shampoo of a compound known to cause cancer in human beings, and associated with pickling corpses, this is just the tip of the toxic iceberg in terms of the noxious chemicals to which we are exposed every day (or nearly so). Household products harbor hundreds of synthetic compounds, the vast majority of which have never been adequately tested to determine their effects on human health (to say nothing of how they act in combination). Formaldehyde, for one, is also found in carpeting, soaps and detergents, cabinetry, and glues. Here are nine other chemicals of concern that are not just all around you, but inside of you as well.</span></span><br />

<span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">These plasticizers are all over the place. One billion tons are produced each year, and they go into (among other things) children's toys, pharmaceutical tablets, shower curtains, adhesives, food packaging and fragrances used in all manner of cleaning products, personal and otherwise. What's troubling: phthalates are easily released into the environment, and they seem to act like hormones in the human body. Possible consequences include (in males) genital deformities, sterility and diabetes, and (in females) premature births, early puberty and breast cancer. Links have also been found with allergies and asthma.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">An antimicrobial agent, triclosan was originally intended for use in hospitals, but soon found its way into a wide variety of consumer products: toothpaste, cutting boards, shoes, trash bags and antibacterial soaps. As a result, triclosan is now in all sorts of places it shouldn't be: in the bile of wild fish exposed to wastewater, in human breast milk and in nearly 75% of urine samples tested in 2008.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Triclosan penetrates the skin and enters in the bloodstream, where its effects on people are unknown. But it's been shown to mess with the endocrine systems of several different animals, and to interfere with human muscle cell function in vitro. The benefits of using it in soap have been questioned; the FDA says there's no evidence of triclosan's upside, apart from an anti-gingivitis effect demonstrated by Colgate Total toothpaste. And some studies have raised the possibility that widespread use of triclosan could contribute to microbial resistance to biocides.</span></div>

In other words, it's everywhere, including in our bodies: it leaches into substances we consume and is absorbed through our skin. And its effects on animals, at levels below the EPA's limit for human exposure, are pretty awful: adverse changes to reproductive organs and tissue, including predispositions to cancer, as well as neural and behavioral impacts on non-human primates. A recent FDA ban on the use of BPA in baby bottles was denounced by the Environmental Working Group as "purely cosmetic," since the chemical is still present in food packaging.</span></div>

It's classified as a probable human carcinogen by the International Agency for Research on Cancer, and studies have also shown that it significantly increases the risk of developing Parkinson's disease. </span><a href="http://www.nydailynews.com/news/crime/toxic-fumes-made-gunman-snap-article-1.211364" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; box-sizing: border-box; outline: none; text-decoration: none;" target="blank"><span style="color: orange;">One researcher found</span></a><span style="color: white;"> that the children of dry cleaners are 3.5 times more likely than other kids to develop schizophrenia.</span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Perc is a common contaminant of soil and groundwater, so you can't avoid it entirely. But organic dry cleaners don't use it, and you can steer clear of residential buildings that house Perc machines.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Brought to market in the 1970s by Monsanto, which gave it the ruggedly suggestive name Roundup, glyphosate is an herbicide that kills almost anything growing. Instantly popular with farmers, it really took off with the introduction of genetically modified "Roundup Ready" seeds, which grow into glyphosate-resistant crops that enable less discriminant spraying. Roundup is also sold to ordinary homeowners, for use against yard weeds.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The purpose of parabens is preservative, to kill bacteria and fungi, and they're present in a host of personal care products: shampoos, moisturizers, shaving gels, lubricants, cosmetics, deodorants and toothpaste. They've even added to food. The problem is that parabens have been found in breast cancer tumors, and are known to mimic estrogen, the hormone that drives that disease. Reproductive toxicity is also suspected. In light of these concerns, some products have gone paraben-free, and are labeled as such.</span></div>

(Teflon and Scotchguard, for instance, are derived from PFCs.) Since they don't degrade organically, they persist in the environment and accumulate in living tissue. Health concerns include toxic fumes from heated nonstick pans causing "Teflon flu" (which can kill pet birds!); stainless steel and cast iron could be safer alternatives.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;">The revelations came as Hampshire councillors were denied a chance to vote on a proposal to make the county a fracking-free zone.</span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: 'Open Sans', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 21.999526977539063px; margin-bottom: 18px;">
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;">Liberal Democrat environment spokesman Adam Carew had called for the ruling Tories to forbid fracking on council land and oppose it in all parts of the county. He said: “We know you are opposed to wind farms. I think the people of Hampshire have a right to know where you stand on fracking as well.”</span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: 'Open Sans', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 21.999526977539063px; margin-bottom: 18px;">
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;">But the new council leader Roy Perry said a ban could prejudice future planning applications to drill from oil companies. The county council, as minerals and waste authority, decides planning applications for oil and gas though not wind farms which are decided by district councils.</span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: 'Open Sans', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 21.999526977539063px; margin-bottom: 18px;">
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;">If permission was refused, oil companies could appeal to the High Court to overturn the decision on the grounds their application had been pre-judged.</span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;">The British Geological Survey has mapped potential shale gas reserves around the country and suggested massive gas reserves worth millions of pounds could be hidden beneath Hampshire.</span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: 'Open Sans', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 21.999526977539063px; margin-bottom: 18px;">
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;">Thousands of jobs could be created if drilling companies believe it is worth trying to extricate the supplies, which have lain buried in tiny holes in rocks for millions of years.</span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: 'Open Sans', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 21.999526977539063px; margin-bottom: 18px;">
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;">Ray Cobbett, co-ordinator of Hampshire Friends of the Earth, said his organisation was opposed to fracking because of the environmental damage and pollution caused by fracturing rocks with chemicals and high pressure water.</span></span></div>

<div style="border: 0px none; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px 0px 20px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Top-secret documents reveal that the National Security Agency is dramatically expanding its ability to covertly hack into computers on a mass scale by using automated systems that reduce the level of human oversight in the process.</span></span></span></span></div>
<div style="border: 0px none; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px 0px 20px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">The classified files – provided previously by NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden – contain new details about groundbreaking surveillance technology the agency has developed to infect potentially millions of computers worldwide with malware “implants.” The clandestine initiative enables the NSA to break into targeted computers and to siphon out data from foreign Internet and phone networks.</span></span></span></span></div>
<div style="border: 0px none; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px 0px 20px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">The covert infrastructure that supports the hacking efforts operates from the agency’s headquarters in Fort Meade, Maryland, and from eavesdropping bases in the United Kingdom and Japan. GCHQ, the British intelligence agency, appears to have played an integral role in helping to develop the implants tactic.</span></span></span></span></div>
<div style="border: 0px none; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px 0px 20px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">In some cases the NSA has masqueraded as a fake Facebook server, using the social media site as a launching pad to infect a target’s computer and exfiltrate files from a hard drive. In others, it has sent out spam emails laced with the malware, which can be tailored to covertly record audio from a computer’s microphone and take snapshots with its webcam. The hacking systems have also enabled the NSA to launch cyberattacks by corrupting and disrupting file downloads or denying access to websites.</span></span></span></span></div>
<div style="border: 0px none; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px 0px 20px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">The implants being deployed were once reserved for a few hundred hard-to-reach targets, whose communications could not be monitored through traditional wiretaps. But the documents analyzed by<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><i style="border: 0px none; font-style: italic; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">The Intercept</i><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>show how the NSA has aggressively accelerated its hacking initiatives in the past decade by computerizing some processes previously handled by humans. The automated system – codenamed TURBINE – is designed to “allow the current implant network to scale to large size (millions of implants) by creating a system that does automated control implants by groups instead of individually.”</span></span></span></span><br />

<div style="border: 0px none; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px 0px 20px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">In a top-secret presentation, dated August 2009, the NSA describes a pre-programmed part of the covert infrastructure called the “Expert System,” which is designed to operate “like the brain.” The system manages the applications and functions of the implants and “decides” what tools they need to best extract data from infected machines.</span></span></span></span></div>
<div style="border: 0px none; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px 0px 20px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Mikko Hypponen, an expert in malware who serves as chief research officer at the Finnish security firm<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><a href="http://home.f-secure.com/en_US/" style="border: 0px none; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px none; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;" target="_blank">F-Secure</a>, calls the revelations “disturbing.” The NSA’s surveillance techniques, he warns, could inadvertently be undermining the security of the Internet. </span></span></span></span></div>
<div style="border: 0px none; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px 0px 20px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">“When they deploy malware on systems,” Hypponen says, “they potentially create new vulnerabilities in these systems, making them more vulnerable for attacks by third parties.”</span></span></span></span></div>
<div style="border: 0px none; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px 0px 20px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Hypponen believes that governments could arguably justify using malware in a small number of targeted cases against adversaries. But millions of malware implants being deployed by the NSA as part of an automated process, he says, would be “out of control.”</span></span></span></span></div>
<div style="border: 0px none; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px 0px 20px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">“That would definitely not be proportionate,” Hypponen says. “It couldn’t possibly be targeted and named. It sounds like wholesale infection and wholesale surveillance.”</span></span></span></span></div>
<div style="border: 0px none; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px 0px 20px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">The NSA declined to answer questions about its deployment of implants, pointing to a new presidential policy directive announced by President Obama. “As the president made clear on 17 January,” the agency said in a statement, “signals intelligence shall be collected exclusively where there is a foreign intelligence or counterintelligence purpose to support national and departmental missions, and not for any other purposes.”</span></span></span></span></div>

<div style="border: 0px none; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px 0px 20px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">The NSA began rapidly escalating its hacking efforts a decade ago. In 2004, according to secret<a href="https://firstlook.org/theintercept/document/2014/03/12/thousands-implants/" style="border: 0px none; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px none; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">internal records</a>, the agency was managing a small network of only 100 to 150 implants. But over the next six to eight years, as an elite unit called Tailored Access Operations (TAO) recruited new hackers and developed new malware tools, the number of implants soared to tens of thousands.</span></span></span></span></div>
<div style="border: 0px none; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px 0px 20px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">To penetrate foreign computer networks and monitor communications that it did not have access to through other means, the NSA wanted to go beyond the limits of traditional signals intelligence, or SIGINT, the agency’s term for the interception of electronic communications. Instead, it sought to broaden “active” surveillance methods – tactics designed to directly infiltrate a target’s computers or network devices.</span></span></span></span></div>
<div style="border: 0px none; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px 0px 20px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">In the documents, the agency describes such techniques as “a more aggressive approach to SIGINT” and says that the TAO unit’s mission is to “aggressively scale” these operations.</span></span></span></span></div>
<div style="border: 0px none; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px 0px 20px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">But the NSA recognized that managing a massive network of implants is too big a job for humans alone.</span></span></span></span></div>
<div style="border: 0px none; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px 0px 20px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">“One of the greatest challenges for active SIGINT/attack is scale,” explains the top-secret presentation from 2009. “Human ‘drivers’ limit ability for large-scale exploitation (humans tend to operate within their own environment, not taking into account the bigger picture).”</span></span></span></span></div>
<div style="border: 0px none; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px 0px 20px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">The agency’s solution was TURBINE. Developed as part of TAO unit, it is described in the leaked documents as an “intelligent command and control capability” that<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><a href="https://firstlook.org/theintercept/document/2014/03/12/industrial-scale-exploitation/" style="border: 0px none; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px none; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">enables</a><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>“industrial-scale exploitation.”</span></span></span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">TURBINE was designed to make deploying malware much easier for the NSA’s hackers by reducing their role in overseeing its functions. The system would “relieve the user from needing to know/care about the details,” the NSA’s Technology Directorate notes in<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><a href="https://firstlook.org/theintercept/document/2014/03/12/nsa-technology-directorate-analysis-converged-data/" style="border: 0px none; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px none; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">one secret document</a><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>from 2009. “For example, a user should be able to ask for ‘all details about application X’ and not need to know how and where the application keeps files, registry entries, user application data, etc.”</span></span></span></span></div>
<div style="border: 0px none; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px 0px 20px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">In practice, this meant that TURBINE would automate crucial processes that previously had to be performed manually – including the configuration of the implants as well as surveillance collection, or “tasking,” of data from infected systems. But automating these processes was about much more than a simple technicality. The move represented a major tactical shift within the NSA that was expected to have a profound impact – allowing the agency to push forward into a new frontier of surveillance operations.</span></span></span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">The ramifications are starkly illustrated in one undated top-secret NSA document, which describes how the agency planned for TURBINE to “increase the current capability to deploy and manage hundreds of Computer Network Exploitation (CNE) and Computer Network Attack (CNA) implants to potentially millions of implants.” (CNE mines intelligence from computers and networks; CNA seeks to disrupt, damage or destroy them.)</span></span></span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">The NSA has a diverse arsenal of malware tools, each highly sophisticated and customizable for different purposes.</span></span></span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">One implant, codenamed UNITEDRAKE, can be used with a variety of “plug-ins” that enable the agency to gain total control of an infected computer.</span></span></span></span></div>
<div style="border: 0px none; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px 0px 20px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">An implant plug-in named CAPTIVATEDAUDIENCE, for example, is used to take over a targeted computer’s microphone and record conversations taking place near the device. Another, GUMFISH, can covertly take over a computer’s webcam and snap photographs. FOGGYBOTTOM records logs of Internet browsing histories and collects login details and passwords used to access websites and email accounts. GROK is used to log keystrokes. And SALVAGERABBIT exfiltrates data from removable flash drives that connect to an infected computer.</span></span></span></span></div>
<div style="border: 0px none; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px 0px 20px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">The implants can enable the NSA to circumvent privacy-enhancing encryption tools that are used to browse the Internet anonymously or scramble the contents of emails as they are being sent across networks. That’s because the NSA’s malware gives the agency unfettered access to a target’s computer before the user protects their communications with encryption.</span></span></span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">In one secret post on an internal message board, an operative from the NSA’s Signals Intelligence Directorate describes using malware attacks against systems administrators who work at foreign phone and Internet service providers. By hacking an administrator’s computer, the agency can gain covert access to communications that are processed by his company. “Sys admins are a means to an end,” the NSA operative writes.</span></span></span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">The internal post – titled “I hunt sys admins” – makes clear that terrorists aren’t the only targets of such NSA attacks. Compromising a systems administrator, the operative notes, makes it easier to get to other targets of interest, including any “government official that happens to be using the network some admin takes care of.”</span></span></span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Similar tactics have been adopted by Government Communications Headquarters, the NSA’s British counterpart.

<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">The mission, codenamed “Operation Socialist,” was designed to enable GCHQ to monitor mobile phones connected to Belgacom’s network.

<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Infiltrating cellphone networks, however, is not all that the malware can be used to accomplish. The NSA has specifically tailored some of its implants to infect large-scale network routers used by Internet service providers in foreign countries. By compromising routers – the devices that connect computer networks and transport data packets across the Internet – the agency can gain covert access to monitor Internet traffic, record the browsing sessions of users, and intercept communications.</span></span></span></span></div>

If the audio of the VOIP conversation is sent over the Internet using unencrypted “Real-time Transport Protocol” packets, the implants can covertly record the audio data and then return it to the NSA for analysis.</span></span></span></span></div>

Sometimes, the agency’s aim is disruption rather than surveillance. QUANTUMSKY, a piece of NSA malware developed in 2004, is used to block targets from accessing certain websites.

<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Consequently, the NSA has turned to new and more advanced hacking techniques. These include performing so-called “man-in-the-middle” and “man-on-the-side” attacks, which covertly force a user’s internet browser to route to NSA computer servers that try to infect them with an implant.</span></span></span></span></div>
<div style="border: 0px none; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px 0px 20px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">To perform a man-on-the-side attack, the NSA observes a target’s Internet traffic using its global network of covert “accesses” to data as it flows over fiber optic cables or satellites. When the target visits a website that the NSA is able to exploit, the agency’s surveillance sensors<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><a href="https://firstlook.org/theintercept/document/2014/03/12/quantum-insert-diagrams/" style="border: 0px none; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px none; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">alert the TURBINE system</a>, which then “shoots” data packets at the targeted computer’s IP address within a fraction of a second.</span></span></span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">In one man-on-the-side technique, codenamed QUANTUMHAND, the agency disguises itself as a fake Facebook server. When a target attempts to log in to the social media site, the NSA transmits malicious data packets that trick the target’s computer into thinking they are being sent from the real Facebook. By concealing its malware within what looks like an ordinary Facebook page, the NSA is able to hack into the targeted computer and covertly siphon out data from its hard drive. A top-secret animation demonstrates the tactic in action.</span></span></span></span></div>
<div style="border: 0px none; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px 0px 20px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">The documents show that QUANTUMHAND became operational in October 2010, after being successfully tested by the NSA against about a dozen targets.</span></span></span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">According to Matt Blaze, a surveillance and cryptography expert at the University of Pennsylvania, it appears that the QUANTUMHAND technique is aimed at targeting specific individuals. But he expresses concerns about how it has been covertly integrated within Internet networks as part of the NSA’s automated TURBINE system.</span></span></span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Nancarrow also pointed out that other services besides Facebook could have been compromised by the NSA. “If government agencies indeed have privileged access to network service providers,” he said, “any site running only [unencrypted] HTTP could conceivably have its traffic misdirected.”</span></span></span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">A man-in-the-middle attack is a similar but slightly more aggressive method that can be used by the NSA to deploy its malware. It refers to a hacking technique in which the agency covertly places itself between computers as they are communicating with each other.</span></span></span></span></div>
<div style="border: 0px none; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px 0px 20px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">This allows the NSA not only to observe and redirect browsing sessions, but to modify the content of data packets that are passing between computers.</span></span></span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">The man-in-the-middle tactic can be used, for instance, to covertly change the content of a message as it is being sent between two people, without either knowing that any change has been made by a third party.

<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">A top-secret NSA presentation from 2012 reveals that the agency developed a man-in-the-middle capability called SECONDDATE to “influence real-time communications between client and server” and to “quietly redirect web-browsers” to NSA malware servers called FOXACID. In October, details about the FOXACID system were<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><a href="http://www.theguardian.com/world/2013/oct/04/tor-attacks-nsa-users-online-anonymity" style="border: 0px none; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px none; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;" target="_blank">reported by the<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><i style="border: 0px none; font-style: italic; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Guardian</i></a>, which revealed its links to attacks against users of the Internet anonymity service Tor.</span></span></span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">But SECONDDATE is tailored not only for “surgical” surveillance attacks on individual suspects. It can also be used to launch bulk malware attacks against computers.</span></span></span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">According to the 2012 presentation, the tactic has “mass exploitation potential for clients passing through network choke points.”</span></span></span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Blaze, the University of Pennsylvania surveillance expert, says the potential use of man-in-the-middle attacks on such a scale “seems very disturbing.” Such an approach would involve indiscriminately monitoring entire networks as opposed to targeting individual suspects.</span></span></span></span></div>
<div style="border: 0px none; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px 0px 20px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">“The thing that raises a red flag for me is the reference to ‘network choke points,’” he says. “That’s the last place that we should be allowing intelligence agencies to compromise the infrastructure – because that is by definition a mass surveillance technique.”</span></span></span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">To deploy some of its malware implants, the NSA exploits security vulnerabilities in commonly used Internet browsers such as Mozilla Firefox and Internet Explorer.</span></span></span></span></div>
<div style="border: 0px none; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px 0px 20px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">The agency’s hackers also exploit security weaknesses in network routers and in popular software plugins such as Flash and Java to deliver malicious code onto targeted machines.</span></span></span></span></div>
<div style="border: 0px none; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px 0px 20px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">The implants can circumvent anti-virus programs, and the NSA has gone to extreme lengths to ensure that its clandestine technology is extremely difficult to detect. An implant named VALIDATOR, used by the NSA to upload and download data to and from an infected machine, can be set to self-destruct – deleting itself from an infected computer after a set time expires.</span></span></span></span></div>
<div style="border: 0px none; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px 0px 20px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">In many cases, firewalls and other security measures do not appear to pose much of an obstacle to the NSA. Indeed, the agency’s hackers appear confident in their ability to circumvent any security mechanism that stands between them and compromising a computer or network. “If we can get the target to visit us in some sort of web browser, we can probably own them,” an agency hacker boasts in one secret document. “The only limitation is the ‘how.’”</span></span></span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">The sensors, codenamed TURMOIL, operate as a sort of high-tech surveillance dragnet, monitoring packets of data as they are sent across the Internet.</span></span></span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">When TURBINE implants exfiltrate data from infected computer systems, the TURMOIL sensors automatically identify the data and return it to the NSA for analysis.

<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">The NSA identifies surveillance targets based on a series of data “selectors” as they flow across Internet cables. These selectors, according to internal documents, can include email addresses, IP addresses, or the unique “cookies” containing a username or other identifying information that are sent to a user’s computer by websites such as Google, Facebook, Hotmail, Yahoo, and Twitter.</span></span></span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;">The killing in Woolwich, allegedly carried out by two extremists, which the government said appears to be a terrorist attack, has drawn many extreme reactions. Former government ministers, including former Labour home secretary Lord John Reid, have called for more Internet monitoring in response, angering privacy campaigners.</span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The bill also sought to store data on citizens’ website visits, all of which was seen by many as a massive intrusion on people’s privacy.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Lord Reid said in the past comms data was massively useful in tracking terrorist threats, but now police did not have enough power to get hold of Internet-based communications quickly.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Nick Pickles, director of the Big Brother Watch, said it was inappropriate for Lord Reid to be commenting on Snoopers’ Charter given his record in government.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="border: 0px; line-height: 15px; margin-bottom: 1.6em; margin-top: -0.8em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">“Lord Reid was one of those responsible for the knee-jerk decision to try and introduce powers for people to be detained for up to 90 days without trial by the last government, after the 7/7 attack,” Pickles told <em style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">TechWeekEurope </em>in an emailed statement.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">“The current government made clear in the Queen’s Speech it will bring forward proposals to address the important issue of identifying who is using a particular internet address and they are right to do so.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Lord Carlile, former independent reviewer of terror laws, said the Woolwich killing should lead to talk about reviving the communications data bill. “Lone wolves, even though they are always inevitably connected at least with Internet training, are very difficult to catch so we must give the authorities proportionate tools to catch them,” he said.</span></div>
