NSA disguised itself as Google to spy, say reports
If a recently leaked document is any indication, the US National Security Agency -- or its UK counterpart -- appears to have put on a Google suit to gather intelligence.
Here's one of the latest tidbits on the NSA surveillance scandal (which seems to be generating nearly as many blog items as there are phone numbers in the spy agency's data banks).
Earlier this week, Techdirt picked up on a passing mention in a Brazilian news story and a Slate article to point out that the US National Security Agency had apparently impersonated Google on at least one occasion to gather data on people. (Mother Jones subsequently pointed out Techdirt's point-out.)
Brazilian site Fantastico obtained and published a document leaked by Edward Snowden, which diagrams how a "man in the middle attack" involving Google was apparently carried out.
A technique commonly used by hackers, a MITM attack involves using a fake security certificate to pose as a legitimate Web service, bypass browser security settings, and then intercept data that an unsuspecting person is sending to that service. Hackers could, for example, pose as a banking Web site and steal passwords.
The article by Brazil's Fantastico mentions a hitherto unknown GCHQ spy program called "Flying Pig." This prompted a Twitter quip from Electronic Frontier Foundation attorney Kurt Opsahl: "PRISM, Flying Pig. Someone in the surveillance state has a thing for Pink Floyd album covers."
(Credit: Pig: Musiclipse.com; prism: Harvest, Capitol.)The technique is particularly sly because the hackers then use the password to log in to the real banking site and then serve as a "man in the middle," receiving requests from the banking customer, passing them on to the bank site, and then returning requested info to the customer -- all the while collecting data for themselves, with neither the customer nor the bank realizing what's happening. Such attacks can be used against e-mail providers too.
It's not clear if the supposed attack in the Fantastico document was handled by the NSA or by its UK counterpart, the Government Communications Headquarters (GCHQ).

NSA works for SATAN.
Initially I thought the allegation to be ridiculous, but I decided to check it out anyway. I found a YouTube video online which shows a much younger man that looks eerily similar to the older Aquino that we know today. The video asserts that this man is Michael A. Aquino, which threw me for a bit of a loop, considering that this man – one of the highest ranking officials in an agency now known to be corrupted and illegally spying on us all – could actually have been a High Priest of the Church of Satan. Could this be true? In a word. Yes.

Why am I not surprised? Never underestimate the power of this SHARING of information! The future is for YOU--young people.
Us old-assed folks F_CKED up everything! Even those of us who SINCERELY fought against what we used to call, "The System," f_cked up. Why? WE UNDERESTIMATED THE DEPTH OF DEPRAVITY OF THE SYSTEM, and we UNDERESTIMATED THE MIND-BOGGLING TENACITY, AND PATIENCE, OF THE SYSTEM TO FULFILL ITS DREAM OF "A THOUSAND YEARS MORE RULE."
So? We got LAZY, and some of us, in the 1980s, FELL ASLEEP and crawled back into The System, many becoming lawyers [at first with the intention of doing CIVIL LAW to help common people, but then morphing into "the me generation."] WE F_UCKED UP! PERIOD!
We were BETTER than the OTHERS--those that are also older now, but never left the system. Oh, we were definitely better than they were. But we fell short. PERIOD!! We fell short.
So, YOUR struggle CANNOT STOP. It cannot! You have to fight to the bitter end. And one way to do that is to employ the tactic of NON-COOPERATION. Talk to your friends. If they're preparing to join the NSA, due to making money, encourage them to NOT do that!! Don't cooperate with these systems!! It would be better to push a broom, then to work for a SPY organization whose only purpose is to "make the world safe" for the rich.

Why are the NSA such Fuckers??? Because they are serving a foreign Entity that is Israel and the Zionist Rothschilds and these Traitors to the American people will be of no further use to the Cabal if the cabal ever gets its New World Dis-Order which is in fact the Old World Order which uses technology against humanity! These Very Traitors will be Executed when their job is done! Zionist Jews hate Humanity! They believe in their Sick little Psychopathic Brain that they are Superior to all other life on the Planet, The Money Changers have fooled the Average Zionist to swallow this BULLSHIT, So even they have been fooled into supporting the Agenda of the sub-humans who control the main ZIonists!
Because their agenda requires so many Morons to Enslave mankind or Destroy it, (Making a Hell on Earth) that they have to recruit from the TARGET population! That means you NSA Agents, Military Commanders, the Baboons in Congress, FBI Agents, CIA Agents, Police Chiefs, Supreme Court Judges, Black Water Mercenaries, etc, etc! All of you Traitors that have Served the Zionist Cabal will be Targeted once you have given your masters their Hellish World! That will be the thanks that you will get for your trouble! You cannot seem to comprehend that they (The Rothschild Jews) Hate and despise you! They think you are excrement that were put on this Earth to serve them and Die! That is what these Hellish Psychopaths think of you, the very ones who are betraying their fellow human! The zionist Drones I expected to serve their Masters who used their Rabbis to Indoctrinate and subvert from their Zioinst Childhood, but you Traitors betrayed your fellow man for a price! How the Fuck can you even live with yourselves???
The one Positive thing out of this is that if they ever get their NWO, that they will take all of you Traitors and have you executed in public just for entertainment! UNLESS YOU TURN AGAINST THEM AND FIND SOME WAY ON EARTH TO STOP THEM! THAT IS YOUR OPTION! THINK ON IT AS THE TIME GETS CLOSER AND CLOSER TO THEIR AGENDA!!!
