MENWITH HILL ...is listening

22.06.2004 18:09

International telecommunications, including private telephone calls, faxes and e-mails are intercepted from the UK, Europe, Middle-East, North Africa and the former Soviet Union. These are monitored looking for 'key words', searching for military, diplomatic and commercial information useful to the United States. In 1997 a European Parliament report made it clear that civil liberties are threatened by the work of the NSA at Menwith Hill. Information collected at Menwith Hill goes directly to Fort Meade, Maryland in the United States. The British government is given selected information on a 'need-to-know' basis via GCHQ, Cheltenham, who also have some employees working at Menwith Hill.

MENWITH HILL - integral part of US star wars plans … There are no missiles at Menwith Hill but the base plays a crucial role in any global conflict. It received an award for the part it played in 'desert Storm during the Gulf War in 1991. Menwith Hill's ongoing expansion means it is now able to transmit and receive communications and photographic images from space. This will help US Space Command in its mission to see and hear everything on the planet and enable laser weapons to be able to reach anywhere on the earth within a target of about six feet. It will also play a crucial part in US plans for a missile defence system by relaying the information gathered by the Space-Based Infra-Red satellite systems back to the US.

is a central control post. HAARP Weather Tectonic and Mind control. Not only spying but controlling.Star Wars and Earth-bound war-control Centre. Vortex-based it spreads its vile emanations throughout the Global Grid
The mobile phone network and Tetra system, 130,000 masts throughout the UK, are in reality a relay network and little to do with carrying your little G3 videos

saturday (tonight) some people are going to encourage members of the good old public to come to menwith in a small, sticky way. if anyone is interested in helping out.
although personally i think this is anti-social vandalism and should not be encouraged in any way.
