\"madsenguardian\"<\/a>The Guardian released another shocking NSA scoop on Saturday, revealing collusion and mass harvesting of personal communications among the United States and at least six European Union countries \u2014 only to delete it from their website hours after publication.<\/p>\n

The article, titled \u201cRevealed: secret European deals to hand over private data to America,\u201d was written by Jamie Doward, who reported information from Wayne Madsen, a former Navy Lt. and NSA employee for 12 years.<\/p>\n

Doward wrote:<\/p>\n

Madsen said the countries had \u201cformal second and third party status\u201d under signal intelligence (sigint) agreements that compels them to hand over data, including mobile phone and internet information to the NSA if requested.<\/p>\n

Under international intelligence agreements, confirmed by declassified documents, nations are categorised by the US according to their trust level. The US is first party while the UK, Canada, Australia and New Zealand enjoy second party relationships. Germany and France have third party relationships.<\/p>\n

He went on to say that seven European countries and the U.S. have access to a fiberoptic cable network, intercepting phone calls, emails, and user logs from websites. The article describes Madsen as having \u201cbeen attacked for holding controversial views on espionage issues.\u201d<\/p>\n

That\u2019s a light way of putting it.<\/p>\n

Some of Madsen\u2019s controversial views include the belief that President Obama is secretly a homosexual and that the Boston bombing suspects were government agents. He\u2019s also reported on a \u201cformer CIA agent\u201d alleging the 2000 USS Cole bombing was perpetrated not by al Qaeda terrorists, but by a missile fired from an Israeli submarine.<\/p>\n

John Schindler, a professor at the Naval War College and intelligence expert, called Madsen \u201dbatsh\u2013 crazy, to use the technical term.\u201d<\/p>\n

The pulled article now bears the message, \u201cthis article has been taken down pending an investigation\u201d but appears to still be on tomorrow\u2019s front page of the print edition. It was originally published in The Observer, a Sunday newspaper owned by The Guardian and hosted on their website. – Business Insider<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
