The government surveillance program called Einstein is in the news today.
If it is so blatantly obvious that NSA does unrestricted recording and monitoring all Internet communications of all Americans then it is equally obvious that there must be a cover story program that presents a legitimate scenario to what has been developed and applied to illegitimate use.
I think that the program cover story is the Einstein program. An apparently ligitimate publicly documented government program to protect government communications that hide the actual use of the product of the program in its application to all internet traffic.
Wikipedia describes the Einstein program here. that is the public face of the program. The secret face of the program application is most likely Prism. The tell-tale is the level of legal comment on the legality of the Einstein program. It has government legal defense. Therefore all that work on the the development and application of the program in DHS to government communications inspection and analysis have legal protection from any legal wrong doing.
Hand the entire program over to the NSA, remove the flags that describe user entry to the government agency sites and what do you have? This: One of the major programs use by the NSA to monitor all internet communications.
Einstein is simply a cover program to legitimize an in house government internet protection program but also disguise its development and use as an illegitimate surveillance program by the NSA.
Seems obvious to me. It simply takes too many people to create a program for illegitimate use. All those people have to be given some legal protection from prosecution even if it is a wink and nod cover story for those that really know what it is all about as well as what most of those involved probably believe is the true story.
Einstein: Created by DHS for use by NSA?? Is that really much of a question?
Invest in Tibco! (TIBX) Looks good here.
