Hacker Feels US Navy Has Spaceships, Crews In Space

He did a few trial runs, hacking into Oxford University’s network, for example, and he found the whole business « incredibly exciting. And then it got more exciting when I started going to places where I really shouldn’t be. »
« Like where? » I ask.
« The US Space Command, » he says.
« What was the most exciting thing you saw? »
« I found a list of officers’ names, » he says, « under the heading ‘Non-Terrestrial Officers’. It doesn’t mean little green men. What I think it means is not Earth-based. I found a list of ‘fleet-to-fleet transfers’, and a list of ship names. I looked them up. They weren’t US Navy ships. What I saw made me believe they have some kind of spaceship, off-planet. »
« The Americans have a secret spaceship? » I ask.

The Nerd Who Saw Too Much
The Guardian - UK
7-15-5
Terrified Gary McKinnon says his forays into secret Pentagon networks were never politically motivated.
A computer geek faces 70 years in jail for hacking into the top levels of US defence. He tells Jon Ronson how, hooked and stoned, he landed himself in such hot water.
In 1983, when Gary McKinnon was 17, he went to see the movie WarGames. In the film, a geeky computer whiz-kid hacks into a secret Pentagon network and, inadvertently, almost instigates World War III. Sitting in the cinema, the teenage McKinnon wondered if he, too, could be a hacker. « Really, » I say to him now, « WarGames should have put you off hacking for life. »
« Well, » he replies, « I didn’t mean it to actually come true. »
WarGames ends with the Pentagon officials telling the young nerd how impressed they are with his technical acumen. He’s probably going to grow up to have a brilliant career at NASA or the Department of Defence. This is an unlikely scenario for McKinnon. He faces 20 charges in the US, including stealing computer files, obtaining secrets that might have been « useful to an enemy », intentionally causing damage to a protected computer, and interfering with maritime navigation equipment in New Jersey.
Last month he attended extradition proceedings at Bow Street Magistrates Court in London. He had, the US prosecutors said, perpetrated the « biggest military computer hack of all time ». He « caused damage and impaired the integrity of information. The US military district of Washington became inoperable and the cost of repairing the shutdown was $700,000 US. » These hacking attacks occurred immediately after September 11, 2001, they said.
This is McKinnon’s first interview. He called me out of the blue last week, just as I was screaming at my child to stop knocking on people’s doors and running away. « Your son sounds like a hacker, » he said. Then he invited me to his home in Bounds Green, north London.
He is good-looking, funny, slightly camp, nerdy, a chain-smoker - and terrified. « I’m walking down the road and I find I can’t control my own legs, » he says. « And I’m sitting up all night thinking about jail and about being arse-f---ed. And, remember, according to them I was making Washington inoperable ‘immediately after September 11’.
« I’m having all these visions of « McKinnon puts on a redneck prisoner voice, « ’What you doing attacking our country, boy? Pick up that soap.’ Yeah, it is absolutely f---ing terrifying. »
The sentence the US Justice Department is seeking - should McKinnon be extradited - is up to 70 years. What McKinnon was hunting for, as he snooped around NASA, and the Pentagon’s network, was evidence of a UFO cover-up.
McKINNON was born in Glasgow in 1966. His parents separated when he was six and he moved to London with his mother and stepfather, a bit of a UFO buff. « He comes from Falkirk, » McKinnon says, « and just outside Falkirk there’s a place called Bonnybridge, which is the UFO capital of the world. When he lived there, he had a dream that he was walking around Bonnybridge seeing huge ships. He told me this and it inflamed my curiosity. He was a great science-fiction reader. So, him being my second father, I started reading science-fiction, too, and doing everything he did. »
McKinnon read Isaac Asimov and Robert Heinlein - « the golden age of science-fiction ». When he was 15 he joined Bufora, the British UFO Research Association, which describes itself as « a nationwide network of [about] 300 people who have a dedicated, non-cultist interest in understanding the wide-ranging extent of the UFO enigma ».
Then he saw WarGames, and he thought: « Can you really do it? Can you really gain unauthorised access to incredibly interesting places? Surely it can’t be that easy. » And so, in 1995, he gave it a try.
He sat in his girlfriend, Tamsin’s, aunt’s house in Crouch End, and he began to hack. McKinnon was looking for - and found time and again - network administrators in high levels of the US government and military establishments who hadn’t bothered to give themselves passwords. That’s how he got in.
He did a few trial runs, hacking into Oxford University’s network, for example, and he found the whole business « incredibly exciting. And then it got more exciting when I started going to places where I really shouldn’t be. »
« Like where? » I ask.
« The US Space Command, » he says.
And so, for the next seven years, on and off, McKinnon sat in that aunt’s house, a joint in the ashtray and a can of Foster’s next to the mouse pad, and he snooped. From time to time, some NASA scientist sitting at his desk somewhere would see his cursor move for no apparent reason. On those occasions, McKinnon’s connection would be cut. This would never fail to freak out the then-stoned McKinnon.
When I ask if he is brilliant, he says no. He’s just an ordinary, self-taught techie. And, he says, he was never alone. « Once you’re on the network, you can do a command called NetStat - Network Status - and it lists all the connections to that machine. There were hackers from Denmark, Italy, Germany, Turkey, Thailand. »
« All on at once? » I ask. « You could see hackers from all over the world, snooping around, without the spaceniks or the military realising? »
« Every night, » he says.
« What was the most exciting thing you saw? »
« I found a list of officers’ names, » he says, « under the heading ‘Non-Terrestrial Officers’. It doesn’t mean little green men. What I think it means is not Earth-based. I found a list of ‘fleet-to-fleet transfers’, and a list of ship names. I looked them up. They weren’t US Navy ships. What I saw made me believe they have some kind of spaceship, off-planet. »
« The Americans have a secret spaceship? » I ask.
« That’s what this trickle of evidence has led me to believe. »
« What were the ship names? »
« I can’t remember, » he says. « I was smoking a lot of dope at the time. Not good for the intellect. »
This was November 2000. By now, McKinnon was hooked. He quit his job as a systems administrator for a small business, « which hugely pissed off my girlfriend, Tamsin ».
« It was the last straw, » he says. « She dumped me and started seeing this other bloke because I was such a selfish waste of space. Poor Tamsin. And she was the one paying the phone bill because I didn’t have a job. We were still living together. God, have you ever tried living with someone after you’ve split up? It’s bad. »
So, while Tamsin was trying to get on with her new relationship, McKinnon was in the living room of her aunt’s house, hacking. He snooped around all the forts - Fort Meade, Fort Benning, and others - reading internal court-martial reports of soldiers getting imprisoned for rape and murder and drug abuse.
« You end up lusting after more and more complex security measures, » he says. « It was like a game. I loved computer games. I still do. It was like a real game. It was addictive. Hugely addictive. » It was never really politically motivated.
Yes, he was hacking immediately after September 11, 2001, but only because he wanted to see if there was a conspiracy. « Why did the building fall like a controlled series of explosions? » he asks. « I hate conspiracy theories, so I thought I’d find out for myself. »
He strenuously denies the Justice Department’s charge that he caused the « US military district of Washington » to become « inoperable ». Well, once, he admits - but only once - he inadvertently pressed the wrong button and may have deleted some government files.
« I thought, ‘Ooh, bloody hell.’ And that’s when I stopped for a while. And then my friend told me about DARPA. And so I started again. »
DARPA is the Defence Advanced Research Projects Agency, an intriguing collection of brilliant military scientists, funded by the Pentagon. DARPA has been widely credited with inventing, among other things, the internet, the global positioning system, the computer mouse, and - somewhat more boneheadedly - FutureMAP, an online futures market designed to predict assassinations and bombings by encouraging investor speculation in such crimes. The US Senate once described FutureMAP as « an unbelievably stupid idea ». DARPA has long been of interest to conspiracy theorists because it is semi-secretive, bizarre and occupies that murky world that lies between science and war.
McKinnon was caught in November 2002. He says it was inevitable because he was « getting a bit sloppy ». He pauses. « I’d never have envisaged this happening to myself, but I did get a bit megalomaniacal, as well. It got a bit silly. I ended up talking to people I hacked into - I’d instant-message them, using WordPad, with a bit of a political diatribe. You know, I’d leave a message on their desktop that read, ‘Secret government is blah blah blah. »’
McKinnon was tracked down because he’d used his email address to download a hacking program called Remotely Anywhere. « God knows why I used my real email address, » he says. « I suppose it means I’m not a secretive, sophisticated checking myself every-step-of-the-way type of hacker. »
On the night before his arrest, McKinnon had been up playing games. « Maybe I’d been doing a bit of weak, fun hacking, too, » he says. « I’d had one hour’s sleep, and I woke up completely muddled, and suddenly at the bottom of my bed there was this voice: ‘Hello, my name’s Jeff Donson from the National High Tech Crime Unit. Gary McKinnon, you’re under arrest.’
« They put Tamsin and me in the meat wagon. They took my PC, Tamsin’s PC, three other computers I was fixing for friends. They went upstairs and took my girlfriend’s aunty’s daughter’s computer. »
McKinnon was kept in a police station overnight. Then the Americans offered him a deal, via his British solicitor. « They said, ‘If you incur the cost of the whole extradition process, be a good boy, come over here, we’ll give you three or four years, rather than the whole sentence.’
« I said, ‘OK, give me that in writing.’ They said, ‘Oh, no, we can’t do that.’ So they were offering a secret trial, no right of appeal on the outcome, no comment to the newspapers, and nothing in writing. My solicitor, doing her job, advised me to take it, and when I said no, she was very ‘Ooh, they’re going to come down heavy’. »
In return, McKinnon offered a somewhat harebrained counter deal, via a Virginia public defender. « I made a sort of veiled threat to them. I said, ‘You know the places I’ve been, so you know the stuff I’ve seen,’ kind of thing. » He pauses and blushes slightly.
« You know, the, uh, Non-Terrestrial Officers. The spaceships. ‘The whole world thinks it’s co-operating in building the International Space Station, but you’ve already got a space-based army that you refer to as Non-Terrestrial Officers. »’ There is a silence. « I had very little evidence. It’s not a very good bargaining chip at all, really, is it? »
Given the Justice Department has announced the information McKinnon downloaded was not « classified », and he was stoned much of the time, perhaps we can assume NASA is not too worried about his « discoveries ».
McKinnon hasn’t spoken publicly before, but now, with the extradition proceedings, nothing is left open to him. For a while, he thought he might end up like the computer nerd from WarGames, having a brilliant career working for the Americans. « They need people like me, » he says. « But that’s not going to happen. »
He and Tamsin have split. He no longer lives in Crouch End, but in the nearby, slightly more down-at-heel Bounds Green, and has given up smoking dope. He is not allowed near the internet, is not allowed a passport, and spends a lot of time reading and sitting in the pub, awaiting his fate.
Nothing much happened in the years since his arrest in 2002 under the Computer Misuse Act - no charges were brought against him in Britain. Then, on June 8, he found himself in front of Bow Street magistrates, the target of extradition proceedings. That’s when the panic attacks kicked in again, the horror visions of life in a US jail. He had poked around, he says, but he hadn’t broken anything, besides that one mistake. He thought he was going to get a year, max. Now they’re talking about 70 years. « You know, » he says. « everyone thinks this is fun or exciting. But it isn’t exciting to me. It is terrifying. »
The extradition hearing will resume on July 27.

london bombing exercise
London Underground Bombing 'Exercises' Took Place at Same Time as Real Attack
Culpability cover scenario echoes 9/11 wargames
Paul Joseph Watson & Alex Jones/
Prison Planet
july 13 2005
UPDATE: London Underground Exercises and the Magically Exploding Terrorists: Important Questions
A consultancy agency with government and police connections was running an exercise for an unnamed company that revolved around the London Underground being bombed at the exact same times and locations as happened in real life on the morning of July 7th.
On a BBC Radio 5 interview that aired on the evening of the 7th, the host interviewed Peter Power, Managing Director of Visor Consultants, which bills itself as a 'crisis management' advice company, better known to you and I as a PR firm.
Peter Power was a former Scotland Yard official, working at one time with the Anti Terrorist Branch.
Power told the host that at the exact same time that the London bombings were taking place, his company was running a 1,000 person strong exercise which drilled the London Underground being bombed at the exact same locations, at the exact same times, as happened in real life.
The transcript is as follows.
POWER: At half past nine this morning we were actually running an exercise for a company of over a thousand people in London based on simultaneous bombs going off precisely at the railway stations where it happened this morning, so I still have the hairs on the back of my neck standing up right now.
HOST: To get this quite straight, you were running an exercise to see how you would cope with this and it happened while you were running the exercise?
POWER: Precisely, and it was about half past nine this morning, we planned this for a company and for obvious reasons I don't want to reveal their name but they're listening and they'll know it. And we had a room full of crisis managers for the first time they'd met and so within five minutes we made a pretty rapid decision that this is the real one and so we went through the correct drills of activating crisis management procedures to jump from slow time to quick time thinking and so on.
Click here for a clip of this dialogue. Click here for a longer clip where the comments can be heard in their full context.
The fact that the exercise mirrored the exact locations and times of the bombings is light years beyond a coincidence. Power said the drill focused around 'simultaneous bombings'. At first the bombings were thought to have been spread over an hour, but the BBC reports just today that the bombings were in fact simultaneous.
Mr. Power (pictured above) and Visor Consultants need not have been 'in on the bombing' or anything of that nature for this to be of importance. The British government or one of their private company offshoots could have hired Visor to run the exercise for a number of purposes.
We are not suggesting that Mr. Power had any knowledge of the real purpose of the exercise, and the open shock he exclaims in relating the story underlines this.
The exercise fulfils several different goals. It acts as a cover for the small compartamentalized government terrorists to carry out their operation without the larger security services becoming aware of what they're doing, and, more importantly, if they get caught during the attack or after with any incriminating evidence they can just claim that they were just taking part in the exercise.
This is precisely what happened on the morning of 9/11/2001. The CIA was conducting drills of flying hijacked planes into the WTC and Pentagon at 8:30 in the morning.
It is clear that at least five if not six training exercises were in operation in the days leading up to and on the morning of 9/11. This meant that NORAD radar screens showed as many as 22 hijacked airliners at the same time. NORAD had been briefed that this was part of the exercise drill and therefore normal reactive procedure was forestalled and delayed.
The large numbers of 'blips' on NORAD screens that displayed both real and 'drill' hijacked planes explain why confused press reports emerged hours after the attack stating that up to eight planes had been hijacked.
The Anglo-American establishment that controls the military-industrial complex of the West has been caught over a hundred times carrying out bombings and other terrorist attacks around the world to further their corporate aims and to blame their enemies.
The US government has been caught planning to carry out attacks and carrying out attacks. The British government has been caught red-handed as well. Members of Vladimir Putin's FSB were caught planting bombs in a Russian apartment building in 1999 by the Moscow police.
This is not speculation. Kermit Roosevelt admited on NPR radio that in 1953 the CIA and British intelligence carried out a wave of bombings and shootings in Iran. He then went on to brag about how they subsequently blamed the bombings on Iran's President, Mossadegh. Do you understand, these people brag about what they do 40 years later?
The London bombings have the same signature as the Madrild bombings of 3/11. Both of these bombings are almost indistinguishable from the Bolognia bombing in 1980 that killed over 80 people.
The bombing in Bolognia was part of a CIA operation code named Gladio, where the US government would pay right-wing terrorists to carry out bombings to be blamed on leftists in Europe. All of this was blown wide open when two of the Bolognia bombers were convited in an Italian court, forcing them to spill their guts admitting that they were neo-fascists contracted by the CIA.

UPDATE: London Underground Exercises and the Magically Exploding Terrorists: Important Questions
A consultancy agency with government and police connections was running an exercise for an unnamed company that revolved around the London Underground being bombed at the exact same times and locations as happened in real life on the morning of July 7th.
On a BBC Radio 5 interview that aired on the evening of the 7th, the host interviewed Peter Power, Managing Director of Visor Consultants, which bills itself as a 'crisis management' advice company, better known to you and I as a PR firm.
Peter Power was a former Scotland Yard official, working at one time with the Anti Terrorist Branch.
Power told the host that at the exact same time that the London bombings were taking place, his company was running a 1,000 person strong exercise which drilled the London Underground being bombed at the exact same locations, at the exact same times, as happened in real life.
The transcript is as follows.
POWER: At half past nine this morning we were actually running an exercise for a company of over a thousand people in London based on simultaneous bombs going off precisely at the railway stations where it happened this morning, so I still have the hairs on the back of my neck standing up right now.
HOST: To get this quite straight, you were running an exercise to see how you would cope with this and it happened while you were running the exercise?
POWER: Precisely, and it was about half past nine this morning, we planned this for a company and for obvious reasons I don't want to reveal their name but they're listening and they'll know it. And we had a room full of crisis managers for the first time they'd met and so within five minutes we made a pretty rapid decision that this is the real one and so we went through the correct drills of activating crisis management procedures to jump from slow time to quick time thinking and so on.

The fact that the exercise mirrored the exact locations and times of the bombings is light years beyond a coincidence. Power said the drill focused around 'simultaneous bombings'. At first the bombings were thought to have been spread over an hour, but the BBC reports just today that the bombings were in fact simultaneous.
Mr. Power (pictured above) and Visor Consultants need not have been 'in on the bombing' or anything of that nature for this to be of importance. The British government or one of their private company offshoots could have hired Visor to run the exercise for a number of purposes.
We are not suggesting that Mr. Power had any knowledge of the real purpose of the exercise, and the open shock he exclaims in relating the story underlines this.
The exercise fulfils several different goals. It acts as a cover for the small compartamentalized government terrorists to carry out their operation without the larger security services becoming aware of what they're doing, and, more importantly, if they get caught during the attack or after with any incriminating evidence they can just claim that they were just taking part in the exercise.
This is precisely what happened on the morning of 9/11/2001. The CIA was conducting drills of flying hijacked planes into the WTC and Pentagon at 8:30 in the morning.
It is clear that at least five if not six training exercises were in operation in the days leading up to and on the morning of 9/11. This meant that NORAD radar screens showed as many as 22 hijacked airliners at the same time. NORAD had been briefed that this was part of the exercise drill and therefore normal reactive procedure was forestalled and delayed.
The large numbers of 'blips' on NORAD screens that displayed both real and 'drill' hijacked planes explain why confused press reports emerged hours after the attack stating that up to eight planes had been hijacked.
The Anglo-American establishment that controls the military-industrial complex of the West has been caught over a hundred times carrying out bombings and other terrorist attacks around the world to further their corporate aims and to blame their enemies.
The US government has been caught planning to carry out attacks and carrying out attacks. The British government has been caught red-handed as well. Members of Vladimir Putin's FSB were caught planting bombs in a Russian apartment building in 1999 by the Moscow police.
This is not speculation. Kermit Roosevelt admited on NPR radio that in 1953 the CIA and British intelligence carried out a wave of bombings and shootings in Iran. He then went on to brag about how they subsequently blamed the bombings on Iran's President, Mossadegh. Do you understand, these people brag about what they do 40 years later?
The London bombings have the same signature as the Madrild bombings of 3/11. Both of these bombings are almost indistinguishable from the Bolognia bombing in 1980 that killed over 80 people.
The bombing in Bolognia was part of a CIA operation code named Gladio, where the US government would pay right-wing terrorists to carry out bombings to be blamed on leftists in Europe. All of this was blown wide open when two of the Bolognia bombers were convited in an Italian court, forcing them to spill their guts admitting that they were neo-fascists contracted by the CIA. Operation Gladio documents have since been declassified.
The London terror alert level was lowered before the bombings took place. This gave the purpotrators extra cover to plan and execute the attack without having to evade the most stringent security.
