PROMIS software
The PROMIS software is an NCIC-type tracking technology incorporating numerous databases such as court records, financial institutions, and utility companies. Inslaw was forced into bankruptcy in 1985 because the US Justice Dept., which contracted to purchase it, reneged on its obligations.[1] Pirated versions of the software were sold by the US intelligence community worldwide to 88 foreign intelligence agencies, and other organizations such as banks. The program included a "backdoor" for US intelligence to hack into. Hillary Clinton was the intellectual property lawyer for a company that obtained and marketed copies of the stolen PROMIS software.[2]
That company was Systematics Inc, of Little Rock Arkansas,[3] now known as Alltel. Systematics was founded by Jackson Stephens of Stephens Inc., owners of Worthen Banking Corporation which bankrolled Bill Clinton's 1992 Presidential election campaign.[4] Stephen's was also co-owner, along with the Lippo Group (the Riady family) of the American branch of BCCI which laundered drugs and arms sales in the Iran-Contra scandal.[5] Systematics had an interest in further developing and marketing the stolen PROMIS software worldwide,[6] with its hidden "backdoor" for US intelligence hackers, to monitor in real time financial transactions and money laundering at banks throughout the world.[7][8] That backdoor can also be used by intelligence service hackers or others in possession of the program to launder money themselves.
Robert Maxwell
Robert Maxwell is the father of Ghislaine Maxwell and former confidant of Jeffrey Epstein. Epstein, who had maintained a ring for the sexual exploitation of minors for years, died in federal custody while awaiting trial in 2019. Ghislaine Maxwell was sentenced to 20 years in prison in 2022 in connection with the Epstein affair.
Maxwell is alleged to have distributed a bugged version of the PROMIS software to a plethora of national governments and global financial institutions that enabled mass spying by the government of Israel.[9]
Maxwell was allegedly able to sell the bugged Israeli version of the PROMIS software to Sandia National Laboratories and Los Alamos National Laboratory, two of the most important nuclear research and national security facilities in the United States.[9] Maxwell allegedly employed Sen. John Tower, Chairman of the United States Senate Committee on Armed Services, to facilitate the sales of the bugged Israeli version of the PROMIS software to Sandia and Los Alamos.[9]
