NSA Issues $6.7 Billion In Classified Tech Contracts

The first Director of National Intelligence was Trilateral Commission member John Negroponte. Gen. Michael Hayden was his Principal Deputy. Previously, it was Hayden who gave the order as Director of the NSA, to outsource IT operations to private companies. ⁃ TN Editor

The National Security Agency is quietly beginning work on a new series of three communications contracts valued at $6.7 billion.

Details are sparse because the classified contracts—collectively called Greenway—were secretly awarded to telecommunications giant AT&T and defense contractors General Dynamics and ManTech International over the past year. Redacted legal documents following a protest of one of the contracts in March indicate the NSA’s goal is to “technically evolve” its IT environment.

NSA’s Greenway program is a continuation of its classified Groundbreaker program, which dates back to then-NSA Director Michael Hayden’s decision to outsource the agency’s IT operations to industry.

At the time, Hayden said the contract would allow NSA to “refocus assets on the agency’s core missions of providing foreign signals intelligence and protecting U.S. national security-related information systems by turning over several information technology infrastructure services for industry’s purview.”

NSA awarded the first $5 billion Groundbreaker contract in 2001 to a joint alliance of contractors called the Eagle Alliance, led by Computer Science Corp., which became CSRA. The same Eagle Alliance companies, which included Northrop Grumman, held the business for well over a decade before the NSA decided to break the Groundbreaker program up into smaller pieces, resulting in Greenway.

Murderous communists? Who knew? Take a look at what they are doing in Venezuela

When we think of Venezuela, we think of starving people fleeing their country without access to food, clothing, toilet paper, or medical care. We think of street urchins fighting over garbage scraps with machetes. We think of migrant exoduses from socialism.

But there's another reality about the place, and it's not getting the attention, say, Saudi Arabia or Russia is, over the killings of dissidents. The Maduro regime is showing an alarming willingness to violently attack opposition leaders, and it's moving in on high-profile ones who had previously seemed untouchable. They've already jailed politician Leopoldo Lopez and driven many others into exile. But the regime's people have stepped up the thuggery to higher levels since then. They tortured to death a city councilman who was then flung off a ten-story building earlier this month. And they encircled and beat up leading opposition leader Maria Corina Machado, likely signaling intent to kill.

SpaceX lines up another launch of its powerful Falcon Heavy rocket from the Space Coast

SpaceX has lined up another launch of its mighty Falcon Heavy rocket from Florida’s Space Coast.

In what is now the sixth planned launch for the powerful rocket, SpaceX is planning to send a Viasat satellite into orbit between 2020 and 2022 from the Launch Complex 39A at the Kennedy Space Center. California-based Viasat announced the deal Thursday.

Falcon Heavy has only launched once before, in a demo flight that sent a Tesla Roadster into space in February from Kennedy Space Center. Thousands of spectators flocked to the Space Coast, lining up on Playalinda Beach and near Kennedy Space Center to watch as the Falcon Heavy took off, sending massive plumes of smoke across the launch pad.

The rocket is the most powerful U.S. rocket since the Saturn V, which took men to the moon. It can lift up to 141,000 pounds into low-Earth orbit.

Global communications company Viasat said it had chosen the Falcon Heavy specifically for its ability to fly almost directly to its final destination at geostationary orbit — instead of having to perform a set of maneuvers before it reaches that destination.

Swiss Company Builds Factory In China To Make Robots With Robots

The perfect Technocrat dream is to build robots with other robots, automating the entire process. This will result in the maximum displacement of human workers in the shortest time possible. China, of course, is happy to receive more robots for its factories. ⁃ TN Editor

Robots will make robots at a new ABB (ABBN.S) factory in China, which the Swiss engineering group said on Saturday it plans to build for $150 million in Shanghai as it defends its place as the country’s largest maker of industrial robots.

The factory, located near ABB’s China robotics campus, is due to be operating by the end of 2020 and will produce robots for China as well as for export elsewhere in Asia. China is ABB’s No. 2 market after the United States.

“Shanghai has become a vital center for advanced technology leadership – for ABB and the world,” ABB Chief Executive Ulrich Spiesshofer said in a statement announcing the project.

Europe’s War on Free Speech Continues

A European court has ruled that people can be fined and prosecuted in criminal court for saying things about religious figures. Specifically, saying things about the Muslim prophet Mohammad is verboten, and state punishment is appropriate:

The European Court of Human Rights has ruled a woman convicted by an Austrian court of calling the Prophet Mohammed a paedophile did not have her freedom of speech rights infringed.

The woman, named only as Mrs. S, 47, from Vienna, was said to have held two seminars in which she discussed the marriage between the Prophet Mohammad and a six-year old girl, Aisha….Mrs S. was later convicted in February 2011 by the Vienna Regional Criminal Court for disparaging religious doctrines and ordered her to pay a fine of 480 euros plus legal fees.

The court’s primary reasoning, it appears, is that the woman’s comments ought to condemned because they might “stir up prejudice and threaten religious peace…” Notably, however, Mrs. S is not accused of saying anything that encourages violence either generally or in any specific way.

In other words, human rights go right out the window if the exercise of those rights might cause other people to feel bad.

This sort of thing is shocking to Americans, of course, but it’s old hat by now in Europe (and Canada) where one can face large fines , and even imprisonment for saying unpopular things.

“The real goal of the Earth Charter is that it will

in fact become like the Ten Commandments.”

The Earth Charter Commission approved the final text of the Earth Charter in 2000, and it has since been embraced by the United Nations, many religious leaders around the world, the majority of world governments and countless Non-Governmental Organizations (NGO's) and activist groups. Following the release of the Charter a series of international forums, called The Earth Dialogues were held at the United Nations to discuss how the general public could be convinced to adopt the “covenant with the Earth” in a real and personal way.
