Reports that a Pentagon official hired private contractors in Afghanistan and Pakistan to track and kill suspected insurgents is being investigated by the US Defense Department.

The New York Times reported late Sunday that it had received credible reports that contractors had been hired from private security companies to find militant leaders, whose whereabouts they would then pass on to US commanders, who would in turn send troops to fight and kill them.

The contractors, known to employ former CIA and Special Forces operatives, are not supposed to be used by the military in covert spy operations.

The allegations are now being investigated and centre on a former civilian employee of the Defense Department attached to the US Strategic Command.

The man, named as Michael Furlong, allegedly led the contractor-spy network, which relied on a network of informants.

Officials believe it has now been closed down.

Americas government is so big that it doesn’t even know what it is involved in till somebody else tells them! This should be a slap in the face for all those who denied all the conspiracy theories that are out there! 911, oil peak, global warming, West=Good, East=Bad, Kennedy, global dimming, Higher Pay=Better civil servant, .........

In 2004, Thomas C. Reed, an Air Force secretary in the Reagan administration, wrote that the United States had successfully inserted a software Trojan horse into computing equipment that the Soviet Union had bought from Canadian suppliers. Used to control a Trans-Siberian gas pipeline, the doctored software failed, leading to a spectacular explosion in 1982.

According to a former federal prosecutor, who declined to be identified because of his involvement in the operation, during the early ’80s the Justice Department, with the assistance of an American intelligence agency, also modified the hardware of a Digital Equipment Corporation computer to ensure that the machine — being shipped through Canada to Russia — would work erratically and could be disabled remotely.

Rafi Eitan, the man who is alleged to have knocked out the NE U.S. power grid in 2003, had a chip manufacturing company in Northern California — where he had the microchip that works in concert with PROMIS manufactured to transmit the secret long distance microwave signal with Michael Riconosciutio’s PROMIS backdoor engineering.

ABOUT THE SECRET LONG DISTANCE MICROWAVE SIGNAL WORKING WITH THE PROMIS BACKDOOR ENGINEERING, DO YOU REMEMBER IN ONE OF MY COMMENTS ABOUT COMPUTERS SECRETLY TURNED ON OR EVEN VIEWED AND CONTROLLED WHEN THE USERS SHUT DOWN AND LEAVING THE OFFICE SOMETIME IN THE LAST 10 DAYS? YES THAT IS HOW THE CIA-MI6 CAN STEAL BUSINESS, INDUSTRIAL, AS WELL AS MILITARY SECRETS FROM ANYONE. SO MAYBE IT IS BETTER TO UNPLUG YOUR COMPUTERS FROM THE WALLS AND REMOVE YOUR LAPTOP BATTERIES AFTER WORK. WHILE YOU ARE WORKING, THEY ARE ALSO WATCHING WHAT YOU SEE ON THE SCREEN. BEST WAY IS TO SHUT DOWN MICROWAVE TOWERS AND GO DEEP UNDERGROUND FOR SENSITIVE MATTERS.

THE DIGITAL TELEVISIONS WIDELY AVAILABLE MAKE SPYING AS WELL AS HUMAN BEHAVIOR CONTROL EVEN MUCH, MUCH MORE EASY.
