Besides, TITAN POINT would have played a central role in the BLARNEY program, a mass surveillance program initiated in the 70s by the NSA and revealed for the first time to the general public in 2013 by Edward Snowden. “This program allows the United States to monitor communications related to multiple countries, companies, and international organizations“, explain The Intercept.
Thus, the communications of several international institutions such as the UN, the IMF (International Monetary Fund), the World Bank and of at least 38 countries, including close allies of the United States such as Germany, Japan and the France would be scrutinized. The building would also be used to intercept satellite communications, as indicated by the presence of several satellite dishes placed on the roof.
