Congress Asks to Review DoD and NSA Contracts With HBGary

Thank YOU Anonymous! And thank YOU Rep. Hank Johnson!



This scandal cries out for an investigation. I’ll do it by myself if I have to.”

The statement above was made on Wednesday, Mar 16th by Rep. Hank Johnson to The House Armed Services Subcommittee on Emerging Threats and Capabilities.

Yes, it does cry out for investigation. It is these kind of deceptive, cheating, lying tactics that are totally undermining this democracy.

Congress Asks to Review DoD and NSA Contracts With HBGary



Rep. Johnson questioned Dr. James Miller who is the deputy under secretary of defense for policy. He asked him what kind of services HBGary, Palantir Technologies and Berico Technologies were providing for the DOD.

Miller replied that he would have to check with the DOD to see if "the provision of that type of information is allowed contractually.”

Looks like they weren't planning on sharing the information on those contracts with Congress. Why? Because what they really were was the intention to use psyops on the American people, which is totally illegal:



Briefly for anyone who was not aware of this story, it started when HBGary Federal claimed in the news media that it had worked with the FBI to out Anonymous activists who were behind the denial-of-service attacks against PayPal, Visa, MasterCard and Amazon. Anonymous organized the mass attacks after the companies suspended accounts used by WikiLeaks to receive donations and host documents.

When Anonymous discovered the HBGary plan to out them, they got a little angry. So, they went to work to uncover HBGary Federal’s investigation of its members and they hacked the company.

They discovered far more than they had expected when they obtained access to tens of thousands of emails. And in those emails the plot against Wikileaks was revealed.

Anonymous loves Wikileaks. So naturally they exposed the whole plot, which also involved possibly doing something about people like Glenn Greenwald and others who questioned the smear campaign against Wikileaks.

Wikileaks wasn't going to be the only target of HBGary. They may have been planning to target critics of The Chamber of Commerce also.

We'll see where this goes. The revelations show that the DOD itself was involved, so it might be difficult extracting information from them.

Anyone plotting to deceive the American people this way deserves what happened to HBGary but it is not enough, there have to be prosecutions and I hope there will be.

Meantime, anyone else planning to lie and smear good people for political purposes should think about as they may, like HBGary eg, see this on their websites and their emails all over the internet also.




I love Anonymous!

dark, dingy rocks as they plot and plan to destroy anything that is good in this world. Scatter them like the cockroaches they are. They've been doing this for so long, and we had no idea what was wrong with this country.

They were ambushing the American people for decades now, with this kind of psyops operation. They should all be prosecuted and tried and jailed for what they have done.

has refused to look into these crimes. Hopefully at least one of the other three will consider the rule of law in this country important enough to warrant an investigation.

And only 3 recs and 2 replies (including this one) from other DUers. What a shame! Unfortunately I found this past the 24 hour deadline.

I think it really deserves reposting in full with a really attention grabbing headline like "Anonymous Uncovers Plot To Use PsyOps Against The American Population" (well, maybe not that extreme - it could end up in the 9/11 dungeon with one like that lol - but you get my drift, I'm sure).

:hi:

job already of covering this incredible story. And it really is unbelievable, it would make a truly great movie as it has all the elements of a great story. It has heroes and bad guys and the good guys actually win this time, so far anyhow.

When you have time, you should read everything Glenn Greenwald wrote about this. He was included in the HBGary emails and blamed for keeping the smear campaign against Wikileaks from working, causing them some problems. Can you imagine that? People working behind our government angry when someone tells the truth. They consider the truth a problem.

We learned so much from this story. And none of it of course was ever reported on TV, because our MSM was complicit in the smear campaign.

This OP was just to let people know that unbelievably, someone in Congress has actually taken the whole affair seriously.

I just tried to briefly fill people in on the original story so they would know what this was about, if they were not familiar with the story, and didn't nearly do it justice. You really have to read Glenn Greenwald's many reports on it, they are well worth reading.

that tactic is working out. They will tell you it is counterintelligence and not something you need to be worried about...pat on the head and a pat on the butt...back to your lives running the country. Leave the questioning to the professionals, that don't torture.
