Mysterious NYC skyscraper owned by AT&T nerve center of NSA mass surveillance programs Built to endure a nuclear attack, a New York City skyscraper known as the AT&T Long Lines Building is actually among the most essential assets of the NSA, which runs mass surveillance programs inside the windowless tower, according to the Intercept. The brutalist structure located at 33 Thomas Street in Lower Manhattan is made up of 29 floors and three underground levels. Built between 1969 and 1974 by John Carl Warnecke & Associates, it was simply referred to as Project X during the planning phase, the Intercept reports. The 550-foot high-rise was purportedly designed to house enough food and supplies to sustain a “self-contained city” of 1,500 people for two weeks in case a worst-case Cold War scenario involving atomic weaponry arose. Aside from accommodating “powerful computers, cables, and switchboards” and handling long-distance phone calls, including international ones, the AT&T telecommunications center doubles as a wiretapping facility that targets calls, faxes, and internet traffic, according to the Intercept. The Long Lines Building is still shown as being owned by AT&T by New York’s Department of Finance, the Intercept found. The NSA refers to the skyscraper as TITANPOINTE, according to documents leaked by whistleblower Edward Snowden and interviews that the Intercept conducted with ex-AT&T employees. A key NSA program called BLARNEY is allegedly run out of a secret location in the building that taps into “communications of the United Nations, the International Monetary Fund, the World Bank, and at least 38 countries, including close US allies such as Germany, Japan, and France,” their report states. BLARNEY documents detail how the program does “full take” surveillance, meaning it gathers both content and metadata in bulk by using “commercial partnerships” to “gain access and exploit foreign intelligence obtained from global networks.” The data collection falls into six different categories: “counterproliferation, counterterrorism, diplomatic, economic, military, and political,” according to The Intercept. The former president of the UN’s general assembly, Mogens Lykketoft, told the Intercept, “Such spying activities are totally unacceptable breaches of trust in international cooperation.” "WISEON NEWS" News Worth Sharing http://bit.ly/2el4zoZ http://bit.ly/2dWh9s2 (Breaking News, World News, Science & Technology, End Times News, New World Order, International Relations, World War, Weapon Technology, Aerospace, ) *** All news articles, including images and/or videos shown are the property of their respected owners and used in accordance with the Fair Use doctrine of The US Copyright Laws.*** breaking news, world news, world breaking news, cnn news, bbc news, fox news, United Nations, Russia, European Union, China, Korea, North Korea, South Korea, Japan, Mexico, Canada, Arab Nations, Israel News, End times, Armageddon, Bible , Prophecy News, Scripture, Gospel, Jesus, #JesusisSavior #RFID #MicroChip #LastNews #HolySpirit #Heaven #hell #worldbreakingnews #breakingnews breaking news, us news, world news, politics, nightly news, current events, top stories, pop culture, business, health, new world order, Illuminati, Freemason, end times, world breaking news, nwo news, science news, modern science, rfid technology, microchip implant, cool gadgets, robotics, google map, wiseon news, advexon, world war, russia, military, united nations, european union, isis news,
