Not Synced
NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden
revealed to the world
-
Not Synced
that the NSA was spying on every single American,
-
Not Synced
archiving trillions of phone calls and e-mails,
-
Not Synced
all in the name of protecting us from Islamic terrorists.
-
Not Synced
Snowden pilfered over 50,000 documents while working
-
Not Synced
for the NSA's private spy agency, Booz Allen Hamilton,
-
Not Synced
a multi-national corporation that operates in the shadows.
-
Not Synced
But the wizard behind the curtain that owns
Booz Allen Hamilton
-
Not Synced
is an equally shadowy corporation, The Carlyle Group,
-
Not Synced
who purchased Booz Allen Hamilton the year Obama
-
Not Synced
was first elected for a staggering $2.5 billion.
-
Not Synced
The Carlyle Group has been steeped in controversy since 2001
-
Not Synced
when it was revealed that the Bin Laden family
-
Not Synced
had poured millions into The Carlyle group investments.
-
Not Synced
In fact, while Osama bin Ladin's henchmen were
-
Not Synced
flying airplanes into the
World Trade Center Towers on 9/11,
-
Not Synced
George H. W. Bush was meeting with members
-
Not Synced
of the Bin Ladin family at the Ritz Carlton hotel in Washington
-
Not Synced
to discuss investing more extensively in the shadowy Carlyle Group.
-
Not Synced
Bush had just been named Senior Advisor
-
Not Synced
and had been trying to convince the Bin Ladin family,
-
Not Synced
owners of the multi-billion dollar Saudi company,
-
Not Synced
The Bin Ladin Group, to increase their investment,
-
Not Synced
predicting that the defense investment company's profits would soon be booming,
-
Not Synced
which they in fact did after 9/11.
-
Not Synced
After the dust settled on 9/11, up to two dozen Bin Ladin family members
-
Not Synced
were quietly flown out of the country to Saudi Arabia.
-
Not Synced
But not until they increased their stake in The Carlyle Group.
-
Not Synced
Despite this controversy and an endless amount
-
Not Synced
of other controversies over the years,
-
Not Synced
The Carlyle Group has remained unscathed due to
-
Not Synced
having a "Who's Who" of men in high places on their payroll.
-
Not Synced
This doesn't include the fact that The Carlyle Group's
-
Not Synced
Booz Allen Hamilton is gorged with thousands of
-
Not Synced
former NSA agents, but The Carlyle Group
-
Not Synced
owns another company that has been in the news lately.
-
Not Synced
Or rather is behind the news.
-
Not Synced
One of the oddities of the missing Malaysian Airlines
-
Not Synced
Flight 370 is that of the 239 passengers aboard,
-
Not Synced
a staggering 20 passengers work for
Freescale Semiconductor.
-
Not Synced
Which, you guessed it, is owned in large part
-
Not Synced
by The Carlyle Group.
-
Not Synced
It has been reported that the Freescale Semiconductor
-
Not Synced
employees were on their way to a conference in China
-
Not Synced
which the company portrayed as a medium-sized
-
Not Synced
Austin, Texas based company with a small footprint
-
Not Synced
in the semiconductor industry.
-
Not Synced
In fact, The Carlyle Group and a handful of
other mega-investors
-
Not Synced
purchased Freescale Semiconductor in 2006
-
Not Synced
for a staggering $17.6 billion.
The media has not only portrayed
-
Not Synced
Freescale Semiconductor as a non-entity,
-
Not Synced
but the Freescale employees on board Flight 370 as low-level workers on their way to a routine conference in China.
-
Not Synced
as low-level workers on their way to
-
Not Synced
a routine conference in China.
-
Not Synced
However, four of the employees on Flight 370,
-
Not Synced
according to Austin, Texas based Intellihub
-
Not Synced
investigative reporter, Shepard Ambellas,
-
Not Synced
were high-level engineers that were majority owners
-
Not Synced
of several semiconductor patents shared with
-
Not Synced
Freescale Semiconductor, worth billions.
-
Not Synced
As this patent document shows, obtained by Intellihub,
-
Not Synced
the four engineers each had a 20% ownership of the patents.
-
Not Synced
A total of 80% to Freescale Semiconductor's 20%.
-
Not Synced
That shockingly the patent was filed on March 11, 2014.
-
Not Synced
Four days after the plane disappeared.
-
Not Synced
And now that the patent owners are dead,
-
Not Synced
full ownership of the patents will revert to
Freescale Semiconductor,
-
Not Synced
into the pockets of The Carlyle Group.
-
Not Synced
Edward Snowden revealed that he could
wiretap anyone in the world
-
Not Synced
from his Hawaiian outpost at Booz Allen Hamilton.
-
Not Synced
That he, and thousands of other NSA contractors worldwide,
-
Not Synced
had access to the whole gamut of the NSA's
surveillance apparatus.
-
Not Synced
He could tap into every cell phone, every flight communication worldwide, every spy satellite.
-
Not Synced
Are we to believe the NSA's private surveillance army, run by The Carlyle Group,
-
Not Synced
has no information on Flight 370?
-
Not Synced
Day by day, the story changes.
Flight 370 crashed in the South China Sea.
-
Not Synced
Two Iranians using stolen passports hijacked the plane and flew it to Iran to use it as a weapon against Israel.
-
Not Synced
It was flying extremely low to avoid radar.
-
Not Synced
One week ago, the story was that the pilot
Zaharie Ahmad Shah was a political zealot
-
Not Synced
flying to meet up with the Taliban in Afghanistan.
-
Not Synced
Now the story is that the plane is at the bottom of the Indian Ocean, off the coast of Australia,
-
Not Synced
in which the crazed pilot was out of his mind
because of a torrid love affair,
-
Not Synced
that he flew the plane for seven hours in the opposite direction of the intended route,
-
Not Synced
detected by no one, including the nearby U.S. Naval base on Diego Garcia,
-
Not Synced
in order to kill himself and the 239 passengers on board.
-
Not Synced
It's like Lee Harvey Oswald all over again.
-
Not Synced
Instead, this time, it isn't a crazed gunman acting alone, but a crazed pilot.
-
Not Synced
Is this all a conspiracy theory?
That the Carlyle Group got rid of a plane
-
Not Synced
in order to reap billions in profits on
semiconductor patents?
-
Not Synced
That their tentacles that reach into every aspect of the military industrial complex
-
Not Synced
and the media created a fantasy of a crazed pilot dumping his plane into the Indian Ocean?
-
Not Synced
Perhaps, perhaps not.
-
Not Synced
But, we must remember, a few years ago,
conspiracy theorist extraordinaire Alex Jones
-
Not Synced
made the wild claim, citing an AT&T engineer and top secret AT&T documents,
-
Not Synced
that the NSA was archiving every single phone call of every single American.
-
Not Synced
Who's the conspiracy theorist now?
