#CableGate: U.S. to track communications of Paraguayan government leaders

According to this #CableGate document, the U.S. is planning on doing some very heavy "monitoring" of Paraguayan government leaders and officials:

E. Information Infrastructure and Telecommunications (INFR-4) - Details of telecommunications and information systems, networks, and technologies supporting Paraguayan national leadership, military, foreign intelligence and security services (FISS), and civil sector communications. - Define Paraguayan wireless infrastructure, cellular provider information, and makes/models of cellular phones and their operating systems. - Define Paraguayan satellite communications infrastructure, to include VSAT networks and use of point to point systems. - Information on communications practices of Paraguayan government and military leaders, key foreign officials in country (e.g., Cuban, Venezuelan, Bolivian, Iranian, or Chinese diplomats), and criminal entities or their surrogates, to include telephone and fax numbers and e-mail addresses, call activity (date, time, caller numbers, recipient numbers), phone books, cell phone numbers, telephone and fax user listings, internet protocol (IP) addresses, user accounts, and passwords. - Identify national and supranational telecommunications regulatory, administrative, and maintenance organizations. - Identify scope of Paraguayan telecommunications encryption efforts, details on the use of and efforts to acquire modern telecom technologies, regional and national telecommunications policies, programs and regulations. - Details on information repositories associated with RFID enabled systems increasingly used for passports, government badges, and transportation system. RICE

Holy crap! This cable basically outlines that the U.S. plans to intercept EVERY aspect of communication concerning Paraguayan military & government leaders.

They also want "Details" (meaning they need to crack into these databases) about RFID systems involving passports, and government badges (for U.S. spies to use?)!!!

Curious though, didn't George W. Bush purchase almost 100k acres of land in Paraguay? Is there a connection here?

Not only them

eporting officers should include as much of the following information as possible when they have information relating to persons linked to the West Africa Sahel region: office and organizational titles; names, position titles and other information on business cards; numbers of telephones, cell phones, pagers and faxes; compendia of contact information, such as telephone directories (in compact disc or electronic format if available) and e-mail listings; internet and intranet "handles", internet e-mail addresses, web site identification-URLs; credit card account numbers; frequent flyer account numbers; work schedules, and other relevant biographical information.

US embassy cables: Washington launches intelligence trawl in West Sahara states

It's obvious that the U.S. wants to know what operating systems the cell phones use, so that they can hack into them using what I would guess to be known (but publicly undocumented) back-doors.

The U.S. intelligence system seems to have turned into a huge data vacuum cleaner. The question is, what are they feeding all this data into? Eagle-Eye?

Mossad? I wouldn't be surprised.

I also read in another document that they wanted to get "biometrical" data such as FINGERPRINTS, DNA & IRIS DATA on the most prominent figures INCLUDING THE PRESIDENT (F. Lugo).
It's spooky...
Replicators coming...
