> revealed to In-Q-Tel, an investment company of the Central
> Intelligence Agency (CIA), has just invested heavily in a business
> dedicated to monitoring media and social networks. This company,
> Visible Technologies, watches every day more than half a million Web
> sites, reviewing more than a million talks, forums and posts on blogs,
> online forums, Flickr, YouTube, Twitter and Amazon. Visible
> Technologies customers receive real time information about what is
> being said and done in cyberspace, based on a set of keywords.
>
> According to Wired magazine, this new acquisition of the CIA is part
> of a larger movement within the intelligence community to improve the
> ability to use "open source intelligence" - information that is
> available in the public domain, but often hidden in television
> programs, newspaper articles, blogs, videos on the Internet and
> reports on thousands of stations that are generated every day.
>
> Visible Technologies spokesman Donald Tighe, revealed that the CIA
> asked them to social media monitoring foreign and install a system of
> "localize early" to inform the agency of intelligence on "how the
> issues are manifesting interest internationally . But also, is used
> nationally, within the United States, to monitor domestic bloggers and
> tweeters.
>
> Visible also provides a similar service communications companies,
> including Dell, AT & T, Verizon and Microsoft, to inform them of what
> they are saying on the forums of cyberspace on their products.
>
> In late 2008, Visible began a collaboration with the Washington
> consulting firm, Concepts & Strategies (Concepts and Strategies),
> which was dedicated to monitor and translate foreign media for the
> Pentagon's Strategic Command and the Joint Staff, among other agencies
> Americans.Concepts & Strategies is currently recruiting "social media
> experts" with experience in the Department of Defense and fluency in
> Arabic, farsi, French, Urdu or Russian. The company also is seeking a
> "safety engineer for computer systems" that has already been granted
> access to "Top Secret" by the National Security Agency (NSA) of
> America.
>
> The intelligence community has had a great interest for many years on
> social media and social networks on the Internet. In-Q-Tel has made
> significant investments in Facebook and other companies that collect
> data and information to millions of users worldwide. The National
> Intelligence (DNI) of the United States maintains the Open Source
> Center, which is dedicated to finding and monitoring of publicly
> available information, but not always easily found.
>
> A week ago, the State Department patricinó an event in Mexico City
> called the Summit of the Alliance of Youth Movements, bringing
> together young political leaders related to Washington's interests
> with the founders and representatives of new technologies such as
> Facebook, Twitter and YouTube. The Alliance sought to "improve the
> capacity of young politicians to use new technologies to mobilize
> their organizations and disseminate information to a mass audience."
> Attended by several opposition leaders of Venezuela, Yon Goicoechea
> and Geraldine Alvarez, known for its links to agencies Washington in
> recent years. Also present at the invitation of the State Department,
> the promoters of the march "Chavez No More" which was convened on
> Facebook during the month of September 2009.
>
> The union between Washington agencies, new technologies and young
> political leaders selected by the State Department, was a recipe for a
> new strategy of''regime change.'' In addition, the event reaffirmed
> the political and financial support to the opposition student movement
> in Venezuela by the United States and placed before the public with
> irrefutable evidence of the sinister alliance between Washington and
> new technologies.
>
> Now, with new evidence on the latest investment by the CIA that
> permits monitoring and tracking on Twitter, blogs, YouTube and other
> forums in cyberspace, there is no doubt that the battlefield has been
> extended.
>
> However, the intelligence community does not handle - yet - the
> content and flow of information in the cyber area. And the same tools
> that serve to undermine them data and information about potential
> adversaries, can be used by those fighting the imperial intrusion as
> weapons to mobilize masses and disseminate facts about their
> aggression.
>
> The CIA is eyeing us, but we also are watching.
