The latest news contained in leaked documents from whistleblower Edward Snowden show that the British intelligence agency GCHQ has developed and deployed a complex series of “dirty tricks,” “propoganda,” and “false flag” operations that it used to spy on its selected targets which included not only “suspected terrorists” and “criminals” but also diplomats, journalists, activists.
Focused on a secret branch within the GCHQ called the Joint Threat Research and Intelligence Group (JTRIG), the documents obtained by NBC News show that the operations of the group included “releasing computer viruses, spying on journalists and diplomats, jamming phones and computers, and using sex to lure targets into ‘honey traps'” in order to “go on offense and attack adversaries.”
The new reporting follows on one NBC published earlier this week highlighting other Snowden documents that revealed the existence of the JTRIG for the very first time. Journalist Glenn Greenwald is listed as ‘special contributor’ for both stories.
As the latest story hit the wire, Greenwald sent out a series of tweets remarking on the significance of the latest revelations and pointing to specific documents explored in the report:
As NBC reports:
In one striking revelation contained in the documents, the JTRIG seems have developed a plan to embroil journalists in their intelligence operations.
