Secret documents that prove espionage against President Dilma

Files were obtained with former NSA analyst Edward Snowden.

Sunday (1st), Fantastico broadcast an exclusive report that revealed the greatest spy system in the world has its eye on Brazil.

The three secret documents, leaked by former NSA analyst (Security Agency National Security of the United States) Edward Snowden, that Fantastico had exclusive access are reproduced below.

The first is a presentation made for a public secret internal agency itself. In it, triggered by the NSA spying against the president of Brazil, Dilma Rousseff, is explained step by step.

The second document is another internal presentation which ranks in the international challenges that the United States will be exposed in the coming years. In it, Brazil is classified as of concern under the heading: "Friends, Foes or Problems?".

The third seems to be an internal memo exchanged between departments of the agency. In it, the commercial interest of the NSA spying made against Brazil is clear.

Some excerpts from the documents were erased at the request of Edward Snowden and Glenn Greenwald, the American journalist co-author of the report presented by Fantastic Sunday because they contain sensitive information to the national security of the United States.

The title of the first document is-secret "smart Filtering data: case study Mexico and Brazil."

The acronym SATC, which appears on the cover, means "Secure and Trustworthy Cyberspace", the department of NSA responsible for making the Internet safe and reliable. The document is dated June of last year.

The second page shows the security classification of the document: TOP SECRET, or top secret, is the highest ranking that documents the agency can receive. The secret services who are allowed access to the document are listed: United States, Australia, Canada, Britain and New Zealand, countries with whom the United States has partnership agreements in the area of intelligence.

Here are explained the benefits of the system SATC espionage. Of all information collected by the Secret Service in connection communication, only the "Selectors of Interest", the targets of interest, can be filtered.

In this slide, evidence that the system is effective in data collection. The display says that with its use, it is possible to literally "finds a needle in a haystack in an efficient and repeatable."

Here is shown a graph of how communication networks are displayed by the system.

On that page, are explained "Hops", called "jumps" interception. "A leap" are telephone communications (calls and text messages) exchanged between the original target and the people that he talks. "A hop and a half" are the connections formed by conversations held between these people.

The "leap second" is established when all communications between the original target, people talk with him and third parties are all tracked.

Here, the first proof that the system was put into practice. The text says that a team of the department of International Security NSA (S2C) responsible for Mexico (41) conducted a focused effort ("surge effort") two weeks to investigate the then candidate leading the polls for the presidency of Mexico, Enrique Peña Nieto, and nine of his closest interlocutors. Peña Nieto won the presidential election held a month after the date of this presentation. "FOUO" is the acronym for "For Official Use Only," "for official use only," another security classification.

Here is explained step by step espionage made against Peña Nieto. "Seeds" are the seeds, the original targets, in this case, Peña Nieto and his interlocutors. The communications intercepted them go through three filtering software information. The first is the "Mainway", and serves to collect the large volume of information passing through networks. The second, "Association", filtering text messages to phones, SMS. Then, the information is passed by "Dishfire" program that search for keywords in the intercepted material.

The surprising result of this slide presented spy is called "Interesting Messages" interesting messages. Two text messages exchanged by the candidate Peña Nieto cite names of advisors who will occupy positions in the future government. They really were appointed six months after the date of this presentation.

Here, the presentation shows that the team of International Security for Brazil NSA (S2C42) had targeted President Dilma and some of her interlocutors.

Targets "seeds" Brazilians go through a program called "DNI Selectors", which filters digital communications.

The graph shows the entire communication network of the Brazilian president. The text says they were discovered new targets of high interest from interceptions.

At the conclusion of the presentation, the NSA celebrates the success of the spy system. It is said that prior information impossible to obtain were intercepted. And that SATC was able to apply techniques of espionage against important people in Brazil and Mexico.

The second document is another presentation called "Geopolitical Challenges for 2014-2019: Identifying Challenges for the Future."

The classification of the document is also TOP SECRET, top secret. "FVEY" means "Five Eyes", the five secret services: United States, Great Britain, New Zealand, Canada and Australia.

Here are shown some factors of regional instability. The emergence of Turkey and Brazil as global players of more importance is presented as a concern for the United States .

The most important challenges for the United States are listed in this slide. Under the title "Friends, Foes or Problem?", Brazil appears along with Egypt, India, Iran, Mexico, Saudi Arabia, Somalia, Sudan, Turkey, Yemen, among others.

The third document says that an entire division of the NSA is dedicated to investigating international politics and business activities in other countries, with a charge of industry nations of Western Europe, Japan, Mexico and Brazil.
