Booz Allen is working both sides of the street

[pscot]

I think Gary Trudeau must be scripting this whole bizarre story. Somewhere, Raoul Duke is laughing his ass off.

When the United Arab Emirates wanted to create its own version of the National Security Agency, it turned to Booz Allen Hamilton to replicate the world’s largest and most powerful spy agency in the sands of Abu Dhabi.
It was a natural choice: The chief architect of Booz Allen’s cyberstrategy is Mike McConnell, who once led the N.S.A. and pushed the United States into a new era of big data espionage. It was Mr. McConnell who won the blessing of the American intelligence agencies to bolster the Persian Gulf sheikdom, which helps track the Iranians.

“They are teaching everything,” one Arab official familiar with the effort said. “Data mining, Web surveillance, all sorts of digital intelligence collection.”

1. Snowden gets branded as a traitor while Booz Allen sells their knowledge

& services to whom ever can afford it...

2. Wonder if the United Arab Emirates got a copy of

the Power Point presentation.

3. I wonder how much of our 'collected and stored data' is available to the UAE or any of the other

countries the hundreds of Mega Billion Dollar 'Security' Corps are dealing with??

The American people, sold out like lambs for profit and there are actually people still defending this.

Btw, Mike McConnell being head of the NSA is just of these big Corporate types in the Security Business to walk through the revolving door.

Clapper, former CEO of Booz Allen is now Director of Intelligence.

And they still tell us that our votes count! Seems to me you vote for President but it's who he appoints to his cabinet that really matters.

Should cabinet members be elected by the people? Maybe that is going to become necessary.

4. It's also hard to ignore the tie-in to the Carlyle group

and by extension, the BFEE and their bosom pals, the Saudis. It's a real snake pit.

5. Well we know that Big Corporations outsource their work so with the billions in Security funds

a Corporation like Booz Allen has received since 2003, I would like to know how much of the 'data collecting' was outsourced since profit making is the only goal of these Corporations.

Maybe that is what they are so frantic about. The fact that using 'terror' and 'national security' as an excuse for everything they do, including the billions in funding for the great WOT, will be exposed as the lie many of us always believed it was. Should we find out that they have been doing this for profit, and that the phone calls of Americans are being monitored by people in third world countries with no obligations under our laws, the whole giant, mega profitable Security Business would come crashing down.

One thing I've noticed, our government doesn't get this upset over anything unless it involves big money. Assange, eg, they really didn't go after him for the War Logs or even the Cables, it was when in June of the year the 'sex scandal' broke, he told a reporter that Wikileaks had information on a major bank and that yes, it could bring it down. Immediately after that announcement they went into high gear to shut down Wikileaks.

Follow the money. Someone is selling out this country and it wouldn't be the first time.

7. Don't they know they are Muslims? They talk at home against a Mosque a couple of blocks from

the World Trade Center, and give Saudis all of are expensive secrets!
