Who Knew About THE HAMMER? Wendy Sherman, Kissinger Associates President, Obama’s CIA General Counsel On Obama WH Intelligence Advisory Board; AG Lynch’s 2017 EO 12333 Update Allows CIA To Use FBI “Special Collection Techniques”

PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA'S WHITE HOUSE INTELLIGENCE ADVISORY BOARD AND INTELLIGENCE OVERSIGHT BOARD - KISSINGER - CIA - THE HAMMER - THE AMERICAN REPORT

By Mary Fanning and Alan Jones | December 17, 2022

Who was on President Obama’s White House Intelligence Advisory Board in 2009, the year when, according to CIA contractor-turned-whistleblower Dennis Montgomery, President Obama, with John Brennan and James Clapper, commandeered the super surveillance system known as THE HAMMER and moved it to Fort Washington, Maryland to spy on Obama’s political enemies?

As revealed in the American Report’s March 17, 2017 exposé “Whistleblower Tapes: Trump Wiretapped ‘A Zillion Times’ By ‘THE HAMMER,’ Brennan’s and Clapper’s Secret Computer System,” one of the audio tapes released by U.S. District Judge G. Murray Snow’s courtroom divulged that Brennan and Clapper wiretapped Donald Trump a “zillion times.”

President Obama’s White House Intelligence Advisory Board

President Obama’s White House Intelligence Advisory Board included, among others, a Kissinger Associates executive, Iran nuclear deal negotiator Wendy Sherman, and Obama’s CIA General Counsel.

In the spring of 2016, as Donald Trump heavily campaigned for president, President Obama selected Stephen Preston and Wendy Sherman to join Obama’s White House Intelligence Board, according to an April 11, 2016 ExecutiveGov report titled “Stephen Preston, Wendy Sherman to Join White House Intelligence Advisory Board.”

The co-chair of Obama’s White House Intelligence Advisory Board was Kissinger Associates executive Judith A. “Jami” Miscik.

Jami Miscik

German-born former U.S. Secretary of State Henry Kissinger is the Godfather of the United States’ disastrous China engagement policy which rapidly redistributed America’s manufacturing base, wealth, and intellectual property to the brutal Chinese Communist Party.

Henry Kissinger is the founder of Kissinger Associates, Incorporated.

Miscik became Vice-Chair and President of Kissinger Associates after first serving as CIA Deputy Director of Intelligence and then as Global Head of Sovereign Risk for Wall Street investment bank Lehman Brothers. Lehman Brothers collapsed in 2008, during Miscik’s tenure at the firm. Miscik has also served on the board of CIA-connected venture capital firm In-Q-Tel that funds the development of advanced CIA espionage technologies and tools.

President Obama’s CIA Director John Brennan served as a senior adviser at Kissinger Associates, Incorporated.

Wendy Sherman, a far left former Baltimore social worker who somehow ended up in the U.S. State Department, also served on President Obama’s White House Intelligence Advisory Board.

Wendy Sherman, currently a senior Biden State Department official, has close ties to China’s proxy communist regime North Korea.

Wendy Sherman led the negotiations for President Obama’s dangerous and reckless 2015 Iran nuclear deal, formally called the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA).

Also serving on President Obama’s White House Intelligence Advisory Counsel was Stephen Preston.

Attorney Stephen W. Preston served under President Obama as CIA General Counsel from July 2009 to October 2013 and Department of Defense General Counsel from October 2013 to 2016. Early in his legal career, Preston joined Wilmer Cutler Pickering Hale and Dorr LLP.  In 2016, Preston returned to WilmerHale.

Former FBI Director Robert Mueller has been a partner at WilmerHale. According to CIA contractor-turned-whistleblower Dennis Montgomery, FBI Director Mueller provided the computers for THE HAMMER.

“Special Collection Techniques”

According to The CIA’s Updated Executive Order 12333 Attorney General Guidelines (emphasis added), Issued by President Obama’s Attorney General Loretta Lynch two days before President Trump’s January 2017 innauguration:

The use of special collection techniques is highly restricted. A special collection technique is any technique that would require a warrant if the technique were used in the United States for law enforcement purposes. Electronic surveillance or a search of a home or office are examples of special collection techniques. With narrowly defined exceptions regarding testing and training, the CIA may not use special collection techniques in the United States. The CIA is, however, permitted to ask another federal agency to perform special collection techniques in the United States under that agency’s legal authorities. The CIA may also provide technical equipment or knowledge to another federal agency in conducting authorized special collection in the United States with the approval of the CIA’s General Counsel. The CIA may conduct special techniques outside the United States that target a United States person only with the approval of the Director of the CIA (or his designee), the CIA General Counsel, the Attorney General, and (where applicable) the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court.

How convenient.

The phrase “special collection techniques” does not appear in the original Executive Order 12333, issued on December 4, 1981. The phrase “special collection techniques” only appears in The CIA’s Updated Executive Order 12333 Attorney General Guidelines, issued by President Obama’s Attorney General Loretta Lynch and Obama’s CIA Director John Brennan two days before President Trump’s inauguration.

We previously reported at The American Report in a February 12, 2022 article titled “HAMMERING Out Their Cover Story Two Days Before Trump Inauguration: Obama’s AG Lynch, CIA Boss Brennan Suddenly ‘Updated’ CIA’s 1981 Executive Order 12333 Domestic Bulk Surveillance Guidelines; DURHAM: Clinton Campaign Paid ‘Tech Exec-1’ To Hack Trump Tower, White House”:

On January 18, 2017, just two days before President Donald Trump’s inauguration, President Obama’s Attorney General Loretta Lynch and Obama’s CIA Director John Brennan suddenly issued the CIA’s Updated Executive Order 12333 Attorney General Guidelines. Executive Order 12333 was initially issued in 1981.

The CIA’s Updated Executive Order 12333 Attorney General Guidelines were brought into focus on Thursday, February 10, 2022 when the Associated Press reported that U.S. Senators Ron Wyden (D-OR) and Martin Heinrich (D-NM) of the Senate Intelligence Committee wrote a classified April 13, 2021 letter to senior Biden Administration intelligence officials requesting declassification of the Deep Dive II report on illegal CIA bulk collection surveillance data about Americans.

According to CIA contractor-turned-whistleblower Dennis Montgomery, Obama’s intelligence officials John Brennan and James Comey commandeered the powerful foreign surveillance system known as THE HAMMER, originally intended for overseas espionage to spy on terrorists and other U.S. adversaries operating overseas, and instead turned THE HAMMER against the American people, turning the United States into a communist Stasi-style surveillance police state.

New York University’s Just Security wrote on January 18, 2017:

In acknowledgment of the mass scale of modern electronic intelligence collection, the Central Intelligence Agency today released newly updated guidelines governing how it treats Americans’ data that are swept up in the agency’s overseas espionage efforts conducted under Executive Order 12333.

Was THE HAMMER a “special collection technique” used by the FBI at the behest of Obama’s CIA? This would explain the reported presence of both CIA and FBI personnel at Fort Washington, Maryland.

This would dovetail with communist-voting John Brennan’s reference on MSNBC to a “fusion center.”

John Brennan’s ‘Fusion Center’

We previously reported at The American Report in an October 27, 2019 article titled “BRENNAN’S “FUSION CENTER” FABLE IS COVERUP FOR “THE HAMMER” SURVEILLANCE SYSTEM  BRENNAN AND CLAPPER USED TO SPY ON TRUMP; COUP WENT INTO OVERDRIVE MARCH 17, 2017”:

On August 17, 2018, on MSNBC, where John Brennan is a national security and intelligence analyst, Brennan told Rachel Maddow “we put together a Fusion Center at CIA that brought NSA and FBI officers together with CIA to make sure that those proverbial dots would be connected.”

Yet, those intelligence agencies are separate and have unique charters for good reason.

Whistleblower Dennis Montgomery has a different, and far more disturbing, version of events that contradict John Brennan’s “Fusion Center” fable.

On February 3, 2009, Brennan and Clapper commandeered the powerful foreign surveillance tool known as “THE HAMMER” and turned it against America for the purpose of “blackmail” and “leverage.”

Brennan and Clapper took “THE HAMMER,” the Montgomery-designed-and-built supercomputer system that had previously served as a foreign surveillance tool and that was once located at eTreppid Technologies in Reno and later at Blixware in Washington state, and relocated it on February 3, 2009 to a CIA facility in Fort Washington, Maryland.

At the Fort Washington Facility, Brennan and Clapper transformed “THE HAMMER” into a domestic surveillance tool and began targeting President Obama’s political enemies.

Brennan’s fabricated “Fusion Center” cover story will likely fall apart just as the Trump Russian Collusion hoax fell apart, like a house of cards.

South African-Born Rodney Joffe And Neustar

We previously reported at The American Report in the February 13, 2022 article “HAMMERING Out Their Cover Story Two Days Before Trump Inauguration: Obama’s AG Lynch, CIA Boss Brennan Suddenly ‘Updated’ CIA’s 1981 Executive Order 12333 Domestic Bulk Surveillance Guidelines; DURHAM: Clinton Campaign Paid ‘Tech Exec-1’ To Hack Trump Tower, White House”:

Rodney Joffe was born in South Africa in 1954.

Joffe is Senior Vice President, Security CTO and Fellow at Neustar.

What exactly does Nuestar do? Foreign Policy explained in January 2014:

President Obama announced on Friday that a huge database of all Americans’ phone records will be moved out of the National Security Agency, where it’s currently stored, and kept either with phone companies or a third party. “This will not be simple,” Obama warned. The approach could be more expensive and legally ambiguous than if the government held the records, and it could raise a host of new privacy concerns, the president said.

Who would want, or even be capable of such a job?

Meet Neustar, Inc., a company most people have probably never heard of but have almost certainly dealt with in some form, even if they didn’t know it. If you’ve ever changed cell phone carriers and wanted to keep your old phone number, Neustar “ported” it over for you from one carrier to another. To do that, it keeps a record of all cell phone numbers in the United States. The company also acts as a kind of middleman between law enforcement agencies serving surveillance warrants on telephone companies, ensuring that the companies only give over the amount of information they’re legally required to disclose. 

MeriTalk reported in an August 15, 2016 report titled “FCC Deal With Foreign-Owned Company Raises Security, Transparency Concerns“:

The Federal Communications Commission gave final approval for Telcordia, a subsidiary of the Swedish company Ericsson, to be the next Local Number Portability Administrator (LNPA), despite protests from the current LNPA that the FCC ignored national security implications and withheld information when choosing a new company…

…Neustar … has been in charge of routing calls and texts for 650 million U.S. and Canadian phone numbers for more than 2,000 carriers since 1997 when the job began…

The LNPA [Local Number Portability Administrator] was established so that consumers could keep their phone number when changing carriers.

The Number Portability Administration Center (NPAC) requires the company that oversees it to keep phone data secure because the Federal Bureau of Investigation and other law enforcement agencies look into the database 4 million times a year to gain information for criminal and intelligence investigations. The concern is that other countries could hack into the database to find out who the U.S. government is wiretapping. Another concern is that a hacker could get into the database and severely slow down the routing of calls, which could have serious consequences in the event of a national emergency.

Neustar was acquired by TransUnion in 2021.

Michael Rae Khoury tweeted on May 3, 2022:

Let that sink in… The Government knew what Ericsson was up to and they chose to ignore it or defer action. AND THE FCC DID NOT INCLUDE NATIONAL SECURITY REQUIREMENTS in the initial bid process?!

Senator Ron Wyden Alarmed By AG Lynch’s Update To Executive Order 12333, John Brennan’s CIA Operation To Spy On US Senate Computers, And Neustar’s Sale Of DNS Data To DoD

Oregon Senator Ron Wyden (D-OR), who previously clashed with Brennan over the CIA’s illegal surveillance of Senate computers, is urging the FTC to investigate Neustar’s collection of DNS records from unsuspecting Americans and the subsequent transfer of those DNS records to a Department of Defense research project involving the Georgia Institute of Technology.

Wyden previously raised the alarm about Lynch’s update to EO 12333.

Bloomberg Law reported:

Sen. Ron Wyden (D-Ore.) is urging the Federal Trade Commission to investigate whether a digital security company misled consumers by reportedly selling Americans’ web browsing data to a Department of Defense-funded research project.

Neustar Security Services may have breached privacy promises in violation of US consumer protection law, Wyden wrote in a Thursday letter to FTC Chair Lina Khan.

The senator’s request for a probe reflects his ongoing concern that government agencies are bypassing legal requirements for search warrants by purchasing data that the private sector has collected on Americans’ online habits.

Senator Wyden previously clashed with John Brennan over the shocking discovery that the CIA under Brennan illegally spied on Senate computers.
