Report: NSA creating spy system to monitor domestic infrastructure

Internal Raytheon email calls system ‘Big Brother’

The National Security Agency has begun work on an “expansive” spy system that will monitor critical infrastructure inside the United States for cyber-attacks, in a move that detractors say could end up violating privacy rights and expanding the NSA’s domestic spying abilities.

The Wall Street Journal cites unnamed sources as saying that the NSA has issued a $100-million contract to defense contractor Raytheon to build a system dubbed “Perfect Citizen,” which will involve placing “sensors” at critical points in the computer networks of private and public organizations that run infrastructure, organizations such as nuclear power plants and electric grid operators.

In an email obtained by the Journal, an unnamed Raytheon employee describes the system as “Big Brother.”

“The overall purpose of the [program] is our Government…feel[s] that they need to insure the Public Sector is doing all they can to secure Infrastructure critical to our National Security,” the email states. “Perfect Citizen is Big Brother.”

“Raytheon declined to comment on this email,” the Journal reports.

Some officials familiar with Perfect Citizen see it “as an intrusion by the NSA into domestic affairs, while others say it is an important program to combat an emerging security threat that only the NSA is equipped to provide,” the Journal states.

The program is reportedly being funded under the Comprehensive National Cybersecurity Initiative, a program launched by the Bush administration in January, 2008, and continued under the Obama administration. The initiative is budgeted to cost $40 billion over several years.

ANOTHER WAR WITHOUT DEFINITION?

News of the spy system comes in the wake of months of news reports and government statements on the the threat of cyber-attacks. Last year, the US pointed the finger of blame at North Korea for a “widespread” attack on US and South Korean government computers. Earlier this year, a coordinated attack on Google servers was identified as originating from China.

But many observers say the threat of cyberwar is exaggerated, and they suggest that profit may be a motive behind efforts to build cyber-defense systems.

“It’s about who is in charge of cyber security, and how much control the government will exert over civilian networks,” writes security technology expert Bruce Schneier at the CNN Web site. “And by beating the drums of war, the military is coming out on top.”

Schneier sees danger in the media “mislabeling” activities like computer hacking and “cyber-activism” as “cyberwar.”

“One problem is that there’s no clear definition of ‘cyberwar.’ What does it look like? How does it start? When is it over? Even cybersecurity experts don’t know the answers to these questions, and it’s dangerous to broadly apply the term ‘war’ unless we know a war is going on.”

MONEY TO BE MADE

In a report published last month, Cecilia Kang at the Washington Post described cyber-security as “Washington’s growth industry of choice,” and companies in the business are “in line for a multibillion-dollar injection of federal research dollars.”

Kang reported:

Delivering the keynote address at a recent cybersecurity summit sponsored by Defense Daily, Dawn Meyerriecks, deputy director of national intelligence for acquisition and technology, said that along with the White House Office of Science and Technology, her office is going to sponsor major research “where the government’s about to spend multiple billions of dollars.”

Tom Burghardt at Pacific Free Press notes that the conference at which Meyerricks spoke was sponsored, among other firms, by Raytheon.

    gee, it's only been known to Alex Jones' InfoWars.com readers and subscribers for over 5 yrs.

    better late than never, I suppose.

    Fuck you, Barack Obama. You are a madman.

    Cyberwar,is this like that other war?You know,the war on Drugs.They got some balls to name,or call it big brother.What's up with all the cold war crap.

    cyber war is a very clear danger to us. Unfortunately there is no need to monitor the civilian population other than when they hit the defenses of our infrastructure. I have read that there are more than 1 million hits a day our governmental computer systems. They should be spending the money to shore up things like our power systems and defending all of our infrastructure. I do not believe for an instant that the danger to us is exaggerated.

    it is no big thing for the government to detect and track people who are hitting our defenses. It is not necessary to monitor the civilian population as I said before. The only part of the Internet that needs to be shut down is that which has been attacked.

    Many people don't realize that our electrical systems could be shut down, compromised and even damaged through the Internet. That's just part of our infrastructure that would cause us incredible problems.

    For those blaming just Obama
    “program launched by the Bush administration in January, 2008, and continued under the Obama administration. ”
    Let's blame all of the people involved

    “Perfect Citizen” quite accurately describes what one should be like if one is being watched everywhere. If you have to act perfect, you must limit your thinking to assure your behavior. There is no exaggeration in the naming.

    Should have just dropped the bomb back in the day like Randy Newman proposed.

    No one likes us-I don't know why
    We may not be perfect, but heaven knows we try
    But all around, even our old friends put us down
    Let's drop the big one and see what happens

    We give them money-but are they grateful?
    No, they're spiteful and they're hateful
    They don't respect us-so let's surprise them
    We'll drop the big one and pulverize them

    Asia's crowded and Europe's too old
    Africa is far too hot
    And Canada's too cold
    And South America stole our name
    Let's drop the big one
    There'll be no one left to blame us

    We'll save Australia
    Don't wanna hurt no kangaroo
    We'll build an All American amusement park there
    They got surfin', too

    Boom goes London and boom Paris
    More room for you and more room for me
    And every city the whole world round
    Will just be another American town
    Oh, how peaceful it will be
    We'll set everybody free
    You'll wear a Japanese kimono babe
    And there'll be Italian shoes for me

    They all hate us anyhow
    So let's drop the big one now
    Let's drop the big one now

    Once again, President Eisenhower's warning about a Military-Industrial Complex seems to have been accurate. One of the defining characteristics of a national socialist government (fascism) is the strong link between industry and the military, with big money in the balance. Ike knew! Republicans used to be very different. Instead of lionizing Reagan, they should look to Ike.

    “Alex Jones' InfoWars.com readers” are mostly of the same ilk that believe Jesus Christ will come back and save them from the impending apocalypse/antichrist/barry soetoro/indonesian socialism. Those who do not believe that, instead believe that a holocaust of jews and political elites (jew sympathizers) will help the people. Those readers who do not believe either of these things have fled to Raw Story.

    While I readily admit that Alex Jones and those who have frequented his website have been right in their reporting of a great number of important developments – the ignorant people will transpose certain words as they read them, and use them to promote religious and fascist answers to real problems that could better be solved with reasoned inquiry. We might call them trolls, we might call them the lunatic right. A better name for them is the sheeple – and yes even infowars readers are sheeple too. Don't get me wrong, the same is true for Raw Story – just to a lesser extend, I would argue.

    My “prediction” for you, is that through the many intelligent young people who count themselves amongst the anti-government fringe: left wing, right wing, no-wing, socialists, anarchists and neo-nazis, it is these who will decide how “democratic society” is defined in the not-too-distant future. Not the senile fools and kleptocratic oligarchs that control American today.

    As a wise man once said, “you don't need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows.”

    Where are the “conservatives” with their cries of “big government” and “keep the government out of my life” ?

    As long as something is militant,has the words “national security” attatched,or is authoritarian ,critical thinking does not apply. Without “conservative” ignorance and groupthink ,we would not be in this mess because they drag us all down with their [manufactured] popular support.

    One day they might try to read past[or have someone read to them] the second amendment to at least the fourth….

    there is actually a whole article about choice point on sourcewatch

    “… ChoicePoint has been criticized, by many critics of the 2000 election, for having a bias in favor of the Republican Party, for knowingly using inaccurate data, and for racial discrimination. …”

    2000 seems so long ago but choice point is still at it and will probably merge into a brance of “big brother”, the surveillance group the government is setting up

    “Schneier sees danger in the media “mislabeling” activities like computer hacking and “cyber-activism” as “cyberwar.”

    There's already a “cyberwar” going on which is why they want this thing. Money travels through the wires these days and it's common for the wealthy to shift the locations of their stolen funds at the push of a button. And, if another wealthy person can see this money on the move then just another push of a button puts that stolen money into their accounts. This all began a few years ago when the Promis Software got out into the “wrong” hands.

    Sorry maybe if you bothered to read a few conservative sites once in a while instead of “knowing” what the conservatives thought you would know that they are just as upset as the liberals over this issue.

    I have the advantage of reading several liberal and several conservative sites because I am not as closed minded as liberals. I even read CNN which is in my opinion a non news site. The only site I rarely read is MSNBC.

  • justinterested

    Another important point my liberal friend it is the Harry and Nancy show that gave the government the power to do this.

  • igrobertson

    This isn't the fault of free-market capitalism, if that's what you're implying. Look up corporatism. Corporatism entails a government choosing to subsidize preferred industries. Think about all of the lobbyists in DC and the fields that they represent; often they represent some reviled industries like Big Pharma, Oil, Weapons, Agribusiness(i.e. Monsanto). So, the difference between free-market capitalism and its mutant brother, corporatism, is the use of government. If a local restaurant were to kill some of its diners by botulism, then the owners would likely be sued to the point of bankruptcy. Furthermore, the clientele would likely plummet out of fear of food poisoning. That's what should happen if businesses act like fools. But will that happen to Monsanto or Merck? We already know that GM and the banking industry can get bailed out by our government so what's to prevent Monsanto from being bailed out if they had some serious toxic assets in the books? THAT'S Corporatism, not free-market Capitalism and Corporatism sucks.

    It will be monitoring computer control systems that would have security implications if attacked – electric, nuclear, subway systems, and air traffic control.

    These are large, typically older, computer control systems that were often designed without Internet connectivity or security in mind.

    Sensors would be deployed in these control systems to identify unusual activity suggesting impending cyber attacks.

    There, only 3 sentences. Do you understand now?

    Do you understand that it is to protect the infrastructure of the USA from cyber attacks?

    Do you understand that it will monitor specific computer control systems?

    Do you understand the monitoring will be data specific, relating to the control of those systems?

    Do you understand that the 'sensors' are thus not placed 'throughout the web' but within the system being monitored.

    Do you understand that Drudge, et al, – like you – have no knowledge of computer control systems and so talk bollocks?

    Do you understand that you are merely sheeple bleating misinformation, because it confirms your beliefs?

    Do you understand that the NSA had no authority to conduct surveillance in the United States until Bush illegally began using them to do so after 9/11?

    Do you realize that had the NSA shared it's knowledge with the CIA or FBI that 9/11 probably could have been avoided?

    Do you realize that it's just a matter of time before the NSA is looking into 'all potential terrorists' – read anyone who isn't a 'Perfect Citizen?'

    And I got to wonder, 'Who signs your paychecks?'

  • johnfive

    Do you understand critical infrastructures do not need to be connected to the internet? Do you understand other network technologies other than TCP/IP exists and can be used to control the critical system ON SITE without the risk of remote attacks? Do you even understand computer control systems?

    the difference is Raw has some semblance of credibility….

  • sandi2

    You don't talk to Alex Jones listeners much do you? Most are fairly free-thinking individuals and are definitely up on what the government is “secretly” doing. There are some, however, who do tend to take on Alex Jones' own spiritual prejudices and fears. For example, they lump white witches in with demon worshipers and demonize some religions while supporting others. But, overall, they're informed right wing capitalists trying to find a way to fix capitalism not understanding that it's broken beyond repair and should be replaced by something new. You know. . . Ron Paul supporters.

    Sure conservatives are just as upset about expanding the national security apparatus as us libs are, why I remember just how vociferously “conservatives” railed against such Constitution-shredding policies as

    The “Patriot” Act

    Warrantless spying on US citizens and their purely domestic communications

    Torture as official US policy

    Indefinite detention

    Suspension of habeas corpus

    Oh wait, since those policies started with the Bush Jr/Cheney regime, conservatives weren't irate at all, instead, they cheered with BS like “Way to stick it to those terrorists and dirty liberals”.

    These braying and blithering morons apparently forgot that the new President inherits all those unchecked powers they loved so much when claimed by the teabaggers Gods, Bush Jr & Cheney.

    These hypocritical rightwingers can fuck off over to North Korea if they love strong, unquestioned leaders so much.

  • freedumb

    Your assumption is wrong.I do read legitimate conservative commentary [non neocon]by such people as Paul Craig Roberts,Ron Paul,and Mises.org,etc. I am not always in 100% agreement because I do see a role for Government and do not believe in Laissez Faire. I am ,however,sympathetic to some principles of limited Government etc. This NSA issue being the case in point.

    With that said,authoritarian statism is the NORM for the vast majority of “conservatives” [note the quotation marks] especially when it comes to Civil Liberties as evidenced by their behavior during the last 8 years of Bush.I would argue that the “Nancy and Harry show” is an outrage because it CONTINUES the neocon policies set by the R party,and therefore is NOT representative of “Liberal” principles.In short,Harry & Nancy are too much like what passes as “conservative”. If they moved to stop something like this you can bet that the Right would cry with their usual rhetoric about “endangering America” etc. If they are not neocons then they are certainly cowards.[Perhaps they don't want to be anthraxed like 2 other liberals were when they stood in the way of the Right wing's beloved "Patriot Act"]

    I have read the comments on “Drudge” and they usually seem weighted toward the delusional Fox “news” type of neocon garbage…..So,where is this Right wing outrage?Direct me and I'll read it….

    I guess by the time they suppress and censure information freely available on the internet , its all over, your site and many others which after all are our only link to the realities beyond corporate control will not exist. I believe the technology is in place, and it would be done in the interest of the nations security of course. The final nail in any notion of free thinking and liberty, will be gone. Ironically it may be a good thing as none of us will know whats going on anymore, its always somewhat distressing to be continually discovering the truth as to what is happening out there. to know this only increases ones feelings of impotence and disenfranchisement ; but truth is addictive Hats off to George Orwell.” Under the spreading, chestnut tree I sold you, and you sold me.” Big Brother has been here awhile,

  • apocalypto

    if you'd replace “conservative” with statists, you won't have to put it in quotes.

    where did you get the idea that the Iraq War and Patriot Act were “conservative” and “neo-con”? Everyone needs to get out of this BS partisan divide and realize that ALL OF THIS draconian crap is the work of THE WASHINGTON CONSENSUS. aka the NSC.

    Calling this stuff “neo-con” is like admitting that you just started paying attention during Bush's second term. And whether people realize it or not, the term is shorthand for “them AIPAC jews” and is nothing new whatsoever.

    Thats not really true. I know the internet seems vast, but its all delivered to you (for the most part) by the big ISPs. Iran and China have had success censoring the web, and the only way info gets through is because the West wasn't doing this draconian crap. Now we are starting.

    But you are right, just like Rome loathed the printing press, our statist overlords hate the internet, which constantly exposes them, threatens their power, and allows us to organize (although we'd rather bicker about if “neo-cons” or “progressives” are the worst type of overlord scum).

Blood in the streets…(the cops work for the politicians who work for the Corporations, that make the laws) people should have been paying more attention to what was going on forty-fifty years ago…but we were listening to porpaganda (be afraid, be safe, some ones coming to get you..the commies, the socialist's, the Marxist's, the Muslims, but no, not the Corporations..they are good..the free market and all that!) we will protect you..!! just sign here, here and here!) it just can't happen here….not in America..(we're to smart for that!)

  • chabuka

    Should have said Corporate propaganda, given voice and credence, by our Corporate bought and paid for, “elected” politicians and the Corporate news media………….

  • Eyeball_Kid

    What's the matter? Do you have a problem with corporations destroying the planet? Don't you understand that, if corporations are destroying the planet, then it must be for YOUR BENEFIT???

    Let's get this straight: Companies like BP are in existence to supply you with all of the creature comforts that you could ever want. Of course there are risks. But there are risks in crossing the street! And if it looks like the beaches and the waters are negatively impacted by this comparatively small human error, then the free market will fill the need and develop technology to deal with the problem. There is nothing that human engenuity cannot overcome. Have faith in the free enterprise system. In a very short time, the waters of the Gulf will be pure and clean, and the beaches will once again be pristine and inviting. And it will be YOU who will be amazed at the quick recovery, and wonder how the good people at BP could have been so right, so much of the time.

    Will wonders ever cease?

    I say neocon because it is their 9/11 bullshit that still frames any “national security” debate.
    It is their version of history [the Zelikow-9/11 report]that justifies the encroaching police state.It is their talking points that are repeated over and over across the media.

    I said nothing about “them jews” .I don't care where they're from or what race they are,so nice try asshole…

  • Benway for the Nova Police

    You seem to have hit the nail right on the head. Anyone else interested in the use of 911 to fuel the encroachment of fascism should do a quick search at Google Video for Webster Tarpley. Tarpley is the dean of 911 as the root cause of the current situation. Actually, let me do it for you: http://www.google.com/search?q=webster+tarpley&…

  • Benway for the Nova Police

    Abolish morons now before you guys take us all down.

  • Benway for the Nova Police

    National Socialist PARTY=Nazis. “Fascism” was Mussolini. And neither of them had a socialist bone in their bodies. The Reichstag fire false flag operation was intended to end the Communist Party as a viable opposition.

  • Benway for the Nova Police

    Back door? What for? It has a FRONT DOOR large enough to sail an aircraft carrier thru.

  • tenorlord

    The Nazis were a variant of Fascism and are considered Fascists as a political label.
    The differences between the German and Italian forms were window dressing.

    (..and evidence that van der Lubbe didn't do it is very sketchy. He probably did it, but he wasn't too bright. We should all remember his error and learn from it.)

  • freedumb

    Thanks for the link.
    I like Tarplay because he is not naive with these “freemarket” ,deregulation, utopian fantasies.I think his take on the new deal and F. Roosevelt is on the money,he was fighting the “new world order”.

    You are misinformed. Take the infrastructure offline, if it ever was online. Use dedicated closed circuits to operate critical infrastructure. They did it before the net existed and they can still do it. This is the simple solution to the bogus problem. If there is an attack on infrastructure, my bet is that it will be a false flag event, like 911.

    Do you understand that the solution to this bogus problem is to take any critical infrastructure offline. Have dedicated closed circuit lines for critical infrastructure. We had that before the net and we can have it now. You aren't very smart are you?

  • texanarch

    Actually Bush's NSA began spying on US citizens by tapping all their phone calls and internet activity in early 2001, long before 9/11.

    And if you do some research you will realize that 911 was an inside job.

    Take a look at WTC 7.

  • texanarch

    Obama or Bush, no difference. They both do what they are told by the franchisees.

    Your government is owned by the banksters, the military industrial complex, the transnational oil companies, and the rest of the corporatocracy. Your vote doesn't mean Jack shit.

    capitalism

    1. a socio-economic system based on private property rights, including the private ownership of resources or capital, with economic decisions made largely through the operation of an unregulated market.
    2. ( a socio-economic system based on the abstraction of resources into the form of privately-owned capital, with economic decisions made largely through the operation of an unregulated market.
    3. (countable) a specific variation or implementation of either such socio-economic system.

    It is in the interests of both small-businesses and corporations to conglomerate, to expand, buy and sell assets, and to monopolize, thus becoming wealthier and wealthier.

    See http://rawstory.com/rs/2010/0708/campaign-launc…

    This is the nature of unregulated free-market capitalism, and by busting monopolies or duopolies, you begin to regulate the formerly free market, just as when you enact trade protectionist policies. Those in industry will always weigh their influence with our government to slash away all the regulations that are managed to be put in place.

    My point here is that I don't think it's possible to abolish corporatism, and maintain a capitalist system. At least not here in America, where our supreme court ruled that corporations = people.

  • QuadSlacker

    You're right – I'm a hypocrite and slave to Microsoft.

    I'll log off now and write my message on cardboard with a magic marker and walk backwards down the highway like I used to.

    Shit, I need to find some locally produced cardboard, markers, shoes, clothes and highways. Guess the jokes on me!!

  • igrobertson

    I agree with your definitions, for sure, but our current economic climate is in no way a model of free-market capitalism. Our economy is heavily regulated and full of protected industries and so market values are grossly distorted as a result of the government interference. What's ironic is that the “socialistic” Canadians actually have more relaxed trade policies than the US and that might have everything to do with why they are not in debt up to their eyeballs like us(at least, not yet). We used to have a much freer economic system in the first several decades of our country, that is, until Lincoln came along. In a lot of ways, he was the first “modern” president. And I don't mean “modern” to sound adulatory. You should read up on the Austrian economic school and see what you think.
