I was just wondering if any of you know much about PROMIS software. I recently finished a book; Crossing the Rubicon by Michael Ruppert. In it he presents some intriguing arguments for several conspiracy theories. To me, some seem dubious, some seem plausible. He has a chapter about PROMIS software. I know nothing about it and was wondering what any of the rest of you may have heard. According to Ruppert, PROMIS:
1) Has evolved over the last 25 years from a National Security Administration project.
2) Has the capacity to analyze incredibly huge amounts of network communications in real time.
3) Was modified in 1981 with a secret “back door” and sold to Canada and other countries.
4) This back door version has subsequently compromised security in countries that bought it.
5) Some later versions have been further modified to compromise security (both “ours” and “theirs”) in other ways.
(This is a gross condensation of a long story.)
Do any of you know anything about this? Is it plausable?
Thanks,
