The Internet - The first Worldwide Tool of Unification ("The End of History")

" ... Now I give you something that few think about: What do you think the Internet is all about, historically? Citizens of all the countries on Earth can talk to one another without electronic borders. The young people of those nations can all see each other, talk to each other, and express opinions. No matter what the country does to suppress it, they're doing it anyway. They are putting together a network of consciousness, of oneness, a multicultural consciousness. It's here to stay. It's part of the new energy. The young people know it and are leading the way.... "

" ... I gave you a prophecy more than 10 years ago. I told you there would come a day when everyone could talk to everyone and, therefore, there could be no conspiracy. For conspiracy depends on separation and secrecy - something hiding in the dark that only a few know about. Seen the news lately? What is happening? Could it be that there is a new paradigm happening that seems to go against history?... " Read More …. "The End of History"- Nov 20, 2010 (Kryon channelled by Lee Carroll)

“…5 - Integrity That May Surprise…

Have you seen innovation and invention in the past decade that required thinking out of the box of an old reality? Indeed, you have. I can't tell you what's coming, because you haven't thought of it yet! But the potentials of it are looming large. Let me give you an example, Let us say that 20 years ago, you predicted that there would be something called the Internet on a device you don't really have yet using technology that you can't imagine. You will have full libraries, buildings filled with books, in your hand - a worldwide encyclopedia of everything knowable, with the ability to look it up instantly! Not only that, but that look-up service isn't going to cost a penny! You can call friends and see them on a video screen, and it won't cost a penny! No matter how long you use this service and to what depth you use it, the service itself will be free.

Now, anyone listening to you back then would perhaps have said, "Even if we can believe the technological part, which we think is impossible, everything costs something. There has to be a charge for it! Otherwise, how would they stay in business?" The answer is this: With new invention comes new paradigms of business. You don't know what you don't know, so don't decide in advance what you think is coming based on an old energy world. ..."

XKeyscore allows U.S. intelligence to monitor ‘nearly everything’ users do online

The Raw Story – AFP, July 31, 2013

A secret surveillance system known as XKeyscore allows US intelligence to monitor “nearly everything a typical user does on the Internet,” according to leaked documents published on Wednesday.

Citing classified documents provided by fugitive intelligence contractor Edward Snowden, British daily the Guardian said the program was the most wide-reaching operated by the National Security Agency.

The paper said the existence of XKeyscore proves the truth of Snowden’s earlier claim, denied by some US officials, that before he left the NSA he could “wiretap anyone, from you or your accountant, to a federal judge or even the president, if I had a personal email.”

On its website, The Guardian published a batch of slides from what appears to be an internal US intelligence training briefing laying out the capabilities of the XKeyscore program.

The paper had blacked out four of the 32 slides because “they reveal details of specific NSA operations,” but the rest lay out the operation of the program in detail.

The slides are marked “Top Secret” and restricted to authorized personnel from the United States, Britain, Canada, Australia and New Zealand. They were produced in 2007 and not due to be declassified until 2032.

According to the slide, XKeyscore allows US spies to monitor in real time the emails, web browsing, Internet searches, social media use and virtually all online activity of a target.

The system’s computer infrastructure is based on a “massive distributed Linux cluster” and has 500 servers distributed around the world.

A map included in the briefing suggests that these servers are located all over world on every continent, on the territory of US allies and of rivals like Russia, China and Venezuela.

Where XKeyscore appears to differ from other US surveillance programs that have already been revealed is that it can index and make searchable virtually any online activity.

“No other system performs this on raw unselected bulk traffic,” the document boasts.

XKeyscore does not require an intelligence analyst to have a “strong selector” such as an email address to find his target — agents can work back from a general search to find an individual.

The examples it gives are if someone is using an unusual language for his area, such as German in Pakistan, or using Google Maps to scout targets for attack, the program can isolate that data and track it back.

The document boasts that XKeyscore has allowed US agents to capture “over 300 terrorists” but pages that apparently relate to specific operations have been redacted by The Guardian.

The slides also say that XKeyscore is being updated to make it more powerful and faster and to broaden the range of data it can search, for example to add a way to monitor the EXIF data embedded in digital photographs.

The Guardian interviewed Snowden in June, when the young contractor was in Hong Kong, having fled his job at tha NSA in Hawaii carrying a trove of top secret documents.

The paper did not say why it had not published details of XKeyscore in June, when it revealed the existence of a less capable US surveillance system known as Prism.

But the leak coincided with a hearing of the US Senate judiciary committee at which top intelligence officials are to be grilled by lawmakers concerned that their agencies have exceeded the law.

It is illegal in the United States for intelligence agencies to monitor US citizens without a court order, but Snowden’s leaks have shown that Americans are regularly caught up in monitoring sweeps.

The revelations have also embarrassed Washington abroad, where some have been shocked by the extent of US Internet surveillance.
