ECHELON: Global Data Monitoring and Interception System

[The SC]

Global System for Monitoring and Interception of Data - ECHELON

It is a surveillance and collection program (intelligence signals / SIGINT and network analysis)..Run by the United States

The system is operated by intelligence agencies of five countries

1. United States
2. Great Britain
3. Canada
4. Australia
5. New Zealand

The program is led by the US National Security Agency and the US Federal Bureau of Investigation..There are no limits to what the NSA can do..(Open powers)

The ECHELON system eavesdrops on electronic communications..And intercept satellite signals of all countries of the world without exception

Unlimited possibilities using artificial intelligence
ECHELON can intercept and track more than 3 billion communications per day (Includes everything from terrestrial and mobile phone calls, Internet connections and Satellite communications)
ECHELON then collects all these contacts without discrimination and then filters it Using artificial intelligence programs to create intelligence reports..

ECHELON spies on 90% of the information circulating online

How does ECHELON work?
The ECHELON system collects data in multiple ways.. Intelligence agencies have installed giant radio antennas in different locations of the globe in order to intercept transmission from and to satellites

There are some sites specialized in tracking ground communications..
These antennas are reported to be in the United States, Italy, England, Turkey
New Zealand, Canada, Australia, Germany, India, Sultanate of Oman and Thailand..

ECHELON also uses a range of private satellites that monitor "Spillover" data between satellites

And then send these data to special treatment sites on the ground based in
The United States close to the city of Denver, Colorado and in Britain, Australia, and Germany..

As the ECHELON system routinely monitors Internet transmissions, it also uses underwater equipment mounted on cables that carry telephone calls to enable it to monitor calls over fibre optic cables..
The agencies involved in ECHELON use secret agents to install tools for eavesdropping and collecting information at the sites desired by the Agency, and after collecting the raw data, the ECHELON system explores and searches these data using the "DICTIONARY" system consisting of a set of supercomputers..

The ECHELON system uses a range of complex software systems:

XKeyscore
PRISM
Carnivore
DISHFIRE
STONEGHOST
Tempora
Frenchelon
Fairview
MYSTIC
DCSN Boundless Informant
BULLRUN
PINWALE
Stingray
SORM

Oasis system:
It is a program to convert audio to text..
Its mission is to convert television and radio programs into written text that the machine can read and analyze..
It distinguishes between the voices of speakers, and the distinction between the individual qualities of people..

Fluent system:
Searches in materials written in non-English languages using English key words and the automatic translation of these documents from Arabic, Russian, Chinese, Portuguese, Serbian, Croatian, Korean and Ukrainian..

Whirlwind System:
Capture computer signals (such as keystrokes, screen shots), by tapping them remotely..
Whirlwind is sponsored by the US National Security Agency..

A picture of the Australian spy station Pine Gap
The station collects signals from radars, mobile phones, aircrafts, ships and missiles..From Asia and Africa via satellites and send them to NSA headquarters in the United States to analyze and locate these signals
For later use in US military bombardments..
