Former Director of Central Intelligence James Woolsey has discovered who is really behind the Paris attacks. The blame does not really fall on ISIS, nor on Gulf States that have financed ISIS. Certainly there is no blame on the United States for its decision to destabilize Syria thereby providing fertile breeding ground for Islamist extremists.
No. The fault for Paris falls directly at the feet of NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden. It was Snowden’s revelations about NSA spying that tipped off the ISIS attackers to the need to use encryption in their communications. Thus, argues Woolsey, they could not be tracked by intelligence and were able to commit the heinous act undetected.
“The blood of a lot of these French young people is on his hands… because of what he turned loose,” said the former CIA chief.
Because of all this, Snowden is an accomplice to mass murder in addition to being a traitor, argues James Woolsey, and must be put to death immediately. But nothing “humane” like electrocution is good enough for Woolsey. No. Woolsey would “prefer to see him hanged by the neck until he’s dead rather than merely electrocuted.”
There is one big problem with Woolsey’s claims: none of it is true.
In fact, the Paris attackers used no encryption at all. The failure to apprehend the perpetrators and thus prevent the Paris attacks falls squarely with French intelligence and law enforcement. At least three of the attackers were known to French authorities, who were still not able to prevent the attack. Additionally, as we did learn from Snowden, the NSA is busy monitoring the French — particularly French presidents — but it too seemingly was unable to help prevent a large terrorist conspiracy where the perpetrators communicated out in the open.
Remember that next time they tell us they need more access to our encrypted communications.
We should keep in mind that after the Woolsey finished up at Bill Clinton’s CIA he went on to head up what is (wrongly) considered the premier human rights organization, Freedom House. He re-emerged when President George W. Bush was elected, ending up as a key part of the neocon team that crafted Bush’s wildly successful foreign policy — the one with such brilliant achievements as invading Iraq on a neocon lie and thereby contributing to the creation of al-Qaeda and ISIS in the area.
Come to think of it: If materially contributing to ISIS’s rise — and ability to carry out such attacks as the one in Paris — subjects one to being “hung from the neck until dead,” there is probably someone much more culpable than Snowden…. James? Are you there?
Woolsey…..OTOH, may you be Necklaced for your disregard to the Constitution. Your illegal activities have nothing to do with stopping terrorists – it is a weapon being used against the American citizens. You are among the prevailing scum that inhabit our government which you and others continually lie to the public.
Sorry Chief, most think the the same of corrupt US gov.We need to erect a tribute to Snowden for educating citizens about how NSA laughs at “dick pics” Nude photos taken from home television sets,pc’s,and ?when people think they have privacy.They really don’t
But, they didn’t use encryption.
I think Snowden made it possible for Japan to bomb Pearl Harbor.
J.W. is a very unattractive man.
I have less and less respect for our so called leaders everyday.
Re: phoolish says: But, they didn’t use encryption.
Shhhhh! You’re fucking up the government’s fake narrative, to be used to justify more completely ineffective, wholly unconstitutional, nominally anti-terrorist, attacks on our privacy. Telling the truth is terrorism. Just ask that asshole, Woolsey.
You see, this has nothing to do with terrorists, or terrorism. It has everything to do with predicting and modifying the behavior of the masses, and maybe identifying malcontents (aka smart people) – presumably to be shipped off to Hillary’s Fun Camps in American Siberia. They can’t do that if you have the gall to employ privacy protecting technologies – like tor.
The easiest way to use tor is probably Tails. https://tails.boum.org/
Woolsey should be introduced to the same treatment as he prescribes for Snowden. Meantime, Snowden should be treated to a ticker-tape parade through D.C. along with a monument to his honor for telling the truth at great personal expense.
Great post, westcoast
Great post, kokoda
Woosley should wipe Obama’s DNA off his face. He’s nothing more than a beta male hyena.
Since today is the 22nd, a date we all remember (JFK assassination) Here’s a short Jim Marrs video that will show you why this unsolved murder is still relevant today. Take 10 minutes and watch:

Does anyone really believe any of our politicians any longer? People pay less and less attention to them as every day passes. Hence the popularity of outsiders currently. Status quo politicians like Clinton and Bush redux can’t gain traction in a field of 3rd rate candidates
“Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?”
phoolish’s comment above made me think of Animal House, even though this site is typically more likely to make me think of Animal Farm.
Bush is guilty for invading Iraq. Obama is guilty for pulling out and abandoning the enterprise. All are most guilty of ignoring George Washington’s Farewell Address in which he admonished us to avoid foreign entanglements.
I am unaware of any foreign adventure outside of WW2 where US forces deploying overseas did not violate his warning at great cost and heartache for no tangible gain.
FYI,
Woolsey is a fanatical Zionist and was a key mover in provoking the Iraq War, among other things. he is not, however, Jewish.
