Edward Snowden: NSA Engages In Industrial Spying



Edward Snowden Tells German TV That NSA Is Involved In Industrial Espionage -- The Guardian

Public broadcaster ARD airs interview in which whistleblower says National Security Agency is involved in industrial espionage.

The National Security Agency is involved in industrial espionage and will take intelligence regardless of its value to national security, the former NSA contractor Edward Snowden has told a German television network.

In a lengthy interview broadcast on the public broadcaster ARD TV on Sunday, Snowden said the NSA did not limit its espionage to issues of national security and cited the German engineering firm Siemens as one target.

“If there's information at Siemens that's beneficial to US national interests – even if it doesn't have anything to do with national security – then they'll take that information nevertheless,” Snowden said in the interview conducted in Russia, where Snowden has claimed asylum.

THAT'S how Israel got the algorithm to Siemens SCADA valve control systems targeted by the Stuxnet virus!!! Then they used it on Siemens SCADA controllers at Iran's uranium-enriching centrifuges at Natanz and then on Siemens SCADA controllers at Japan's nuclear reactors at Fukushima Daiichi! That's why Chancellor Angela Merkel shut down Germany's nuclear reactors so abruptly after Fukushima melted down. THAT'S why technicians at Fukushima didn't know that the reactor had begun to overheat, even though the normal function in an emergency is to shut down and the cooling system valves would open automatically. We learned that was part of the design of Stuxnet after the same thing happened in Iran.

Hmmmm.... who would have a motive to do such....oh....
