Ex-NSA Contractor Allegedly Stole Over 500 Million Pages of Govt Secrets
He collected top secret info for over 20 years.
Posted by Mary Chastain Friday, October 21, 2016 at 10:00am 13 Comments
Earlier this month, the United States District Court in Baltimore charged ex-NSA contractor Harold Thomas Martin III with removal of classified documents and theft of government property. Officials have revealed that Martin took over 500 million pages of records and secrets over two decades.
The Justice Department will probably charge Martin with other crimes, "including violating the Espionage Act." The latest DOJ document does not say if Martin shared this information, but made it known he had the ability to do so.
The new evidence has convinced prosecutors to urge the court not to release Martin, who has a hearing about his detention on Friday. The DOJ has concerns "Martin is or could be in contact with a foreign government." Prosecutors said he "has had online communication in Russian." If released, they fear he may find a friendly enemy government to take him in:
"Given the nature of his offenses and knowledge of national secrets, he presents tremendous value to any foreign power that may wish to shelter him within or outside of the United States," prosecutors said.
Martin's lawyers claim the opposite, that their client "is neither a flight risk nor a danger to the community, and to the extent either of these factors is a concern, they can be sufficiently addressed with specific release conditions."
Martin worked for the Booz Allen Hamilton Holding Corp., which put "him inside some of the government's most secretive programs inside the NSA and the Pentagon." Officials searched his home in August and found a treasure trove of government information:
The Justice Department said that a search of his home and his automobile uncovered "thousands of pages of documents and dozens of computers and other storage devices and media containing, conservatively, fifty terabytes of information."
Fifty terabytes is equivalent to 50,000 gigabytes. One gigabyte can contain 10,000 pages of documents, the department estimated.
By extrapolation, 50 terabytes can hold 500 million pages.
Authorities also found the items in plain sight because Martin never concealed any of it:
Top-secret information was stored in his car, which wasn't parked in a garage. Investigators also found an email chain printed out in that car that was marked "top secret" and contained "highly sensitive information."
They also found handwritten notes that appeared to describe the NSA's classified computer infrastructure, the Justice Department said in its filing.
"Among the many other classified documents found in the Defendant's possession was a document marked as 'Top Secret/Sensitive Compartmented Information' ('TS/SCI') regarding specific operational plans against a known enemy of the United States and its allies," the court document said.

The only guy in the office that could get the copy machine to work without jamming.

As Snowden also proved, it only takes one person to compromise data.
broomhandle | October 21, 2016 at 11:11 am
But were they marked classified at the time?

Did he change his last name to Clinton first?

I think we found Hillary's new chief of staff.

Nothing way a prosecutor would try this case.

… but does he have copies of Hillary's missing emails ?
OnlyRightDissentAllowed | October 21, 2016 at 1:14 pm
Interesting that both Snowden and Martin worked for privatized parts of the government. We need more of that.
casualobserver in reply to OnlyRightDissentAllowed. | October 21, 2016 at 5:36 pm
Not even an informed comment. Have you ever researched the matter?
DaveGinOly | October 21, 2016 at 7:52 pm
He probably thought the markings had something to do with alphabetizing the documents.

Wasn't intentional.

Twenty years, and those indefatigable sleuths finally caught him.
I hope that there was a least one daredevil high-speed chase involved at some point.


Farmers in regional and rural areas around Australia will now receive more support to resolve labour shortages with new changes to two visa programs.
We don't want fruit rotting on the vine or crops left in the field and it's vital our farmers maximise their hard work and economic returns.
We will make a number of changes to the Working Holiday Maker (WHM) visa program to target genuine workforce shortages in regional Australia without displacing Australian workers.
We will increase the number of visa holders and allow them to extend their time in Australia by undertaking agricultural work in new areas across the country.
We will also make a number of changes to the Seasonal Worker Program, making it easier for farmers to access workers for a longer period with less administration costs.
This work builds on the changes we made last month to get more Australian job seekers into work by filling farm shortages through the National Harvest Labour Information Service.
We want Australians filling Australian jobs but when this isn't possible action was needed to ensure farmers weren't left high and dry.
Our action today means our farmers will get immediate support, helping them reap the economic returns of their hard work.
We also know the vast majority of holiday makers spend big in our regions, delivering a return to small businesses and jobs.
Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Infrastructure, Transport and Regional Development Michael McCormack said agriculture was a critical industry which underpinned regional economies and empowering a flexible work-force to meet varied labour demands was critical to success.
Mr McCormack said the WHM visa changes represented another pragmatic solution to address the problem of filling work-force shortages in the Australian farm sector.
"Our considered and measured approach ensures we continue to back farm businesses and communities to continue producing and supplying the world's best food and fibre," he said.
Minister for Agriculture David Littleproud said farmers had been calling for action in this space for some time.
"These are good steps towards getting farmers better access to labour," Minister Littleproud said.
Minister for Immigration, Citizenship and Multicultural Affairs David Coleman said the changes to the WHM visa program would help resolve agricultural labour shortages in regional and rural Australia.
"Lifting the annual caps on visas, expanding the number of regional areas where Work and Holiday makers can work for three months in specified farming work, and allowing 12 months of work with the same agricultural employer will assist farmers this growing season," Mr Coleman said.


On June 20, 2016, the Supreme Court voted 5 to 3 to reverse a decision of the Utah Supreme Court that threw out drug-possession evidence seized from Edward Strieff in 2006 based upon an unlawful stop by an Officer. The underlying case, Utah v. Strieff, arose from police surveillance of a house in Salt Lake City, Utah based on an anonymous tip of "narcotics activity." Upon receiving this tip, Officer Fackrell promptly conducted surveillance of the home and during his surveillance he witnessed Strieff emerge from the home.
Officer Fackrell stopped Strieff at a nearby parking lot to question him, and asked for his ID. The officer ran a background check and discovered that Strieff had a warrant for a minor traffic violation. At that point, Officer Fackrell placed Strieff under arrest. During a subsequent search of Strieff, the officer found a baggie containing methamphetamines and drug paraphernalia.
Strieff claimed that his Fourth Amendment rights of unreasonable search and seizure were violated. The Utah Supreme Court agreed and said the drugs that were found were not admissible in court because they were retrieved as a result of the unlawful stop by Officer Fackrell.
Therefore, the question that the Justices were left with was whether the drug evidence had to be suppressed given Officer Fackrell's unlawful stop or whether they could be used as evidence given the arrest warrant.
Justice Clarence Thomas, who wrote the opinion for the Supreme Court, conceded that Fackrell's initial stop lacked reasonable suspicion. "But the Court has also held that, even when there is a Fourth Amendment violation, this exclusionary rule does not apply when the costs of exclusion outweigh its deterrent benefits. In some cases, for example, the link between the unconstitutional conduct and the discovery of the evidence is too attenuated to justify suppression." Justice Thomas called Fackrell's initial stop "negligent," adding that "there is no evidence that Officer Fackrell's illegal stop reflected flagrantly unlawful police misconduct." Justice Thomas ultimately concluded these errors were made in "good faith" and did not justify the exclusion of evidence.
In a blistering dissent that cited W. E. B. Du Bois, James Baldwin and Ta-Nehisi Coates, Justice Sonia Sotomayor said the Court had vastly expanded police power.
Justice Sotomayor noted that outstanding warrants are now a common feature in American life. Federal and state databases show more than 7.8 million outstanding warrants, she wrote, "the vast majority of which appear to be for minor offenses." There are, she added, 180,000 misdemeanor warrants in Utah. And according to the Justice Department, about 16,000 of the 21,000 residents of Ferguson, Mo., are subject to arrest warrants.
Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg joined most of Justice Sotomayor's dissent, along with all of a separate dissent from Justice Elena Kagan. But Justice Sotomayor reserved her most personal reflection for a part of her dissent in which she wrote only for herself, setting out in detail the dangers and indignities that often accompany police stops.
One final interesting and unusual takeaway from this ruling: it was the first time since the death of Justice Antonin Scalia that one of the Court's consistent liberals — Justice Stephen G. Breyer — joined the traditionally right-leaning Justices to create a conservative majority.


We have all seen the spikes in anxiety and stress in our young people these days. There is an unbelievable amount of pressure to succeed, to look perfect, to be liked and to do it all. There are pressures at home, in school, within relationships and it feels heavy and constant. Now, though anxiety has risen among young people overall, studies confirm that it has skyrocketed in girls. What in the world is going on here? And what can we do about it? For the answers to these questions, we are turning to best-selling author, Dr. Lisa Damour.

Microsoft Cloud AI Tests Turing Institute — Data Science Meets Machine Learning
Richi Jennings
Nadella tours Europe in cloud charm offensive
Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella is talking up the company's cloud chops in artificial intelligence. Azure and Office 365 are chock-full of machine-learning features, he says.
Over the past few days, he's appeared on stage in Dublin and London, preaching the gospel of AI and FPGAs. And now Microsoft's donated Azure credits to a UK research consortium that specializes in data science.
But what does it all mean? In today's IT Newspro, we learn deep.
Your humble newswatcher curated these news nuggets for your entertainment. Not to mention: Why 30 fps is actually 29.97…
What's the story? Dan Worth says Satya urges all firms to consider their digital future:
Nadella said at an event in London on Thursday [that] the Azure platform is…fundamental to the future. … "Every customer is not just thinking about building or deploying one digital system. They themselves are digital companies."
Nadella also repeated his oft-discussed 'cloud first, mobile first' ethos. … "When I talk about mobile first…I mean mobility of the human experience. … If one thing is clear it's that we will have more computers in our lives in the future, not [fewer]. So the really pressing question is how the experience we have with these computers is going to take place."
What else did he have to say? Here's Matthew Finnegan, with Nadella points to machine learning as key battleground for cloud:
It is an area that is fast becoming the battleground for the big cloud providers. … Speaking at an event in London's Canary Wharf financial district, Nadella [emphasized] the role of machine learning…in Azure…Dynamics and Office 365.
"Whenever you think about the infrastructure…you are always driven by the applications of the future.…What is going to be the core currency of the applications of the future? … It is going to be data and…the ability to reason over data to create intelligence. … And so we are building out our infrastructure to support that."
Nadella…focused on how cloud, and…artificial intelligence will support the next wave of innovation for businesses. … It will be interesting to see the results as…businesses get to grips with the possibilities of machine learning.
AI for plebs? This is Nick Heath's take—Azure cloud platform will democratize machine learning:
[It] will see developers "fuse intelligence into everything they're doing." … Democratizing AI as Nadella calls it.
At the event…The Alan Turing Institute, a UK-based data-science research group, demonstrated what was possible. … Its computer vision system…can take a 2D video of a person speaking and transform them into a lip-synced 3D model in real-time. … Other work at the institute includes creating an automatic statistician using Bayesian statistics…and developing algorithms to recognize human actions from motion.
Every compute node of Azure…has FPGAs (Field Programmable Gate Arrays), which he said means developers can write neural network code…and "run it at the speed of silicon" — repeating his description of Azure as "the world's first AI supercomputer."
This is not a test. Microsoft's Kenji Takeda is "excited"—Microsoft accelerates data science at The Alan Turing Institute:
The Turing is the UK's national center for data science…a joint venture founded by [five] universities…and the UK Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council. … Microsoft is excited to be empowering [the] Institute to achieve more by awarding $5 million in Microsoft Azure…credits.
$5 million? What for? Tom Jowitt Microsoft Donates Cloud Credit:
The thinking is that the…credit will allow the researchers to use [Azure for] activities such as data analytics, natural language processing, machine learning and data visualisation [spanning] financial services, mathematics, right through to engineering and smart cities. … The Alan Turing Institute is joint venture founded last year on the back of the [government] vow to make the UK the "technology centre of Europe". The Institute is made up of more than 100 researchers.
Yes, but what's it for? Alexander Sword parries and thrusts: [You're fired -Ed.]
The Institute has four main missions: to establish the research foundations for data science, to translate this research into practical impacts, training future data scientists, and leading the public conversation on data science. … Microsoft's donation of the services was announced by…Professor Andrew Blake, Director of the Alan Turing Institute…and Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella at the Transform conference in London. … Nadella [was] supported by a range of speakers including Ben Medlock, co-founder and CTO at SwiftKey.
What else did the good Professor have to say? Adam Shepherd guides the narrative on:
The Institute is entirely cloud-powered. "There's something of the startup about us," said [Prof.] Blake. "We don't have a big machine room; we wanted to get up and running very quickly. … Azure cloud services will [let] our data scientists…prototype ideas with a fast turnaround of results," Blake added.
"The Alan Turing Institute is a unique place where researchers…come together to push the boundaries of data science," corporate vice president of Microsoft Research Jeannette M. Wing added. … This partnership with the Alan Turing Institute is a prime example of how Microsoft is investing in the global data-science research ecosystem.

In Eminem's third (under Aftermath / Interscope) album "The Eminem Show", which was bootlegged so heavily that his record company had to move the release date forward, Eminem strips his personal life bare for the benefit of his fans. The beginning is a mite bit predictable as it's the third time in a row that he's begun his rap tirade with a skit. This time it's a sound of curtains opening up, followed by footsteps crossing a wooden stage, then a finger tapping a microphone, slight feedback, and finally Eminem clearing his throat. Then it's straight into what may very well be his first politically (albeit it's more sociologically slanted) charged endeavor, "White America." The track resonates with a dark, ominous tinge and not surprisingly it's produced by Eminem himself. Eminem's sonic efforts on The Marshall Mathers LP only hinted at the thundering, downright scary aural tactics he employs here. While the beat fits perfectly with Eminem's vitriolic spew, it seems to be leaning toward the over saturated rap/rock aesthetic that dominated not only the charts, but the minds of the youth of America in 2002.
From these auspicious beginnings of The Eminem Show, things jump off straight into pop terrain with the uber hit "Business". Dre delivers a chunky funk gurgle that pulses and pounds with primal simplicity. It's pretty routine, yet thick and inescapably catchy. Production is stellar, but it's not pushing either Eminem or Dre's talents to the limits (it actually sees Dre ripping himself off by regurgitating the chainsaw cross channel effects from 2000's "Kill You."). Still, it's one of those tracks that you love to hate.
Dre manages to squeeze in two tracks toward the end of the album. The first, "Say What You Say," is dark and ominous, thus keeping in tune with the vibe that Em has instilled throughout the course of the 20 tracks on this effort. For "My Dad's Gone Crazy" Dre mixes faux harp plucks to create a whimsical backdrop to Em's bugged out verbal spaz attack. It's pretty much the most damn near brilliant moment on the album. Especially when little Hallie cuts in with her over-the-top "I think my dad's gone crazy."
The rest of the tracks from The Eminem Show will be reviewed shortly.
As far as the album as a whole goes, the title says it all – The Eminem Show. First time around, Eminem established his alter-ego, Slim Shady — the character who deliberately shocked and offended millions, turning Eminem into a world-wide star. Second time at bat, he delivered The Marshall Mathers LP, going deeper into his past while revealing complexity as an artist and a personality that helped bring him an even greater audience and much, much more controversy. Third time around (not counting Infinite and The Slim Shady EP), it's The Eminem Show — a title that suggests that Eminem's public persona is front and center, for the very first time. And it is, as he spends much of the album commenting on the media circus that dominated on his life ever since the release of Marshall Mathers. Eminem's lyrics are never short of caustic. He sums up the story of his success on the musically inept, but verbally cutting 'White America' – "Lets do the math, if I was black, I would have sold half". This, of course, encompasses many, many familiar subjects — his troubled childhood; his hatred of his parents; his infamous relationship with his ex-wife, Kim (including the notorious incident when he assaulted a guy who allegedly kissed her); his love of his daughter, Hailie; and, of course, all the controversy he generated, notably the furor over his alleged homophobia and his scolding from Lynne Cheney, which leads to furious criticism about the hypocrisy of America and its government.
To his credit, he has refused to pretend to live some invented gangster streetlife, but the rappings of success and notoriety are sterile inspirations for hip-hop wordplay.»Never was a thug, just infatuated with guns
Never was a gangster, 'til I graduated to one
And got the rep of a villian, for weapon consealin'
Took the image of a thug kept shit appealing« – Soldier, The Eminem Show
All this is wrapped together with a production very similar to that of its predecessor — spare, funky, fluid, and vibrant, punctuated with a couple of ballads along the way. So, that means The Eminem Show is essentially a holding pattern, but it's a glorious one nonetheless — one that proves Eminem is the gold standard in pop and hip-hop music, delivering stylish, catchy, dense, funny, political music that rarely panders (apart from a power ballad "Dream On" rewrite on "Sing for the Moment" and maybe the sex rap "Drips," that is). Even if there is little new ground broken, the presentation is exceptional — Dre never sounds better as a producer than when Eminem pushes him forward (witness the stunning oddity "Square Dance," a left-field classic with an ominous waltz beat) and, with three albums under his belt, Eminem has proven himself to be one of the all-time classic MCs, surprising as much with his delivery as with the lyrics (we might as well call it »shock and awe« tactics).
Furthermore, the undercurrent of political anger — not just attacking Lynne Cheney, but raising questions about the Bush administration — gives depth to his typical topics, adding a new, spirited dimension to his shock tactics as notable as the deep sentimental streak he reveals on his odes to his daughter. While a typical complaint about modern hip-hop records is that they run too long, The Eminem Show with it's 20 songs and 80 minutes of play doesn't get boring nor repetitive any time soon. Fact is, The Eminem Show delivers more great music than most of its peers in rock or rap, and is further proof that Eminem is an unique artist of considerable range and dimension that is not to be taken lightly.
Love him or hate him, Eminem makes no apologies, and THE EMINEM SHOW is as strong a statement as he's made to date.
