This is a massive and automated network that intercepted phone calls and internet data with communication satellites. But, unsurprisingly, the government agencies have repeatedly denied its existence.</span></span><br /> <div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: Ubuntu, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: 28.7999992370605px; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> <span style="color: #0b5394;">Project ECHELON has been spying on you over the last fifty years, and it has enabled the UK and United States to track their enemies, allies, and its citizens. The recent Snowden revelations have vindicated the work of British investigative journalist Duncan Campbell. As mentioned earlier, it was first reported in 1988 and Campbell continued his reporting for the next 27 years.</span></div> <div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: Ubuntu, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: 28.7999992370605px; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> <span style="color: #0b5394;">Duncan Campbell has written his story in <span style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="border-color: initial; border-style: initial; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; transition-duration: 0.2s;">The Intercept</span></span> </span>and also cited some <span style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="border-color: initial; border-style: initial; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; transition-duration: 0.2s;">NSA newsletters</span></span></span> that confirm setting up of the program in 1966, just after the launch of the first communication satellites. <span style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="border-color: initial; border-style: initial; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; transition-duration: 0.2s;">RT</span></span></span> writes that the dragnet was codenamed FROSTING, and it was made up of two sub-programs. TRANSIENT targeted Soviet Union’s communication networks, and satellites of the West were snooped by ECHELON. According to the Snowden revelations, all satellite surveillance was combined into FORNSAT.</span></div> <div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: Ubuntu, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: 28.7999992370605px; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> <span style="color: #0b5394;">In his story, Duncan Campbell calls the Project ECHELON “the first-ever automated global mass surveillance system.” He tells that the program used huge ground-based radio antennas to intercept satellite signals. Then, it used sensitive keywords to scan the communications for info. Campbell came to know about Project ECHELON from Margaret Newsham, a former Lockheed Martin employee on NSA contract. Then, Campbell contacted his sources at the GCGQ in the UK to confirm the news. To make the system work behind the scene, NSA built facilities in the UK to fool the US laws.</span></div> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet" lang="en"> <div dir="ltr" lang="en"> Watchdog has relentlessly reported on mass surveillance for 40 years, despite raids & arrests <a href="http://t.co/3lmfHX5lYf">http://t.co/3lmfHX5lYf</a> <a href="http://t.co/cqWpJKMYfA">pic.twitter.com/cqWpJKMYfA</a></div> — The Intercept (@the_intercept) <a href="https://twitter.com/the_intercept/status/628378328932618240">August 4, 2015</a></blockquote> <script async="" charset="utf-8" src="//platform.twitter.com/widgets.js"></script> <iframe allowfullscreen="" allowtransparency="true" class="twitter-tweet twitter-tweet-rendered" frameborder="0" height="456" id="twitter-widget-2" scrolling="no" style="background-color: white; border-style: none; border-width: initial; display: block; font-family: Ubuntu, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: 28.7999992370605px; margin: 10px 0px; max-width: 100%; min-width: 220px; padding: 0px; position: static; vertical-align: baseline; visibility: visible; width: 500px;" title="Twitter Tweet"></iframe><br /> <div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: Ubuntu, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: 28.7999992370605px; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> </div> <div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: Ubuntu, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: 28.7999992370605px; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> <span style="color: #0b5394;">NSA and GCHQ have denied the existence of the Project ECHELON, but the European Parliament decided to launch an investigation on in 1999.
