NSA uses towering, windowless skyscrapers, and fortress-like concrete structures that were built to withstand earthquakes and even nuclear attacks. Thousands of people pass by the buildings each day and rarely give them a second glance because their function is not publicly known. They are an integral part of one of the world’s largest telecommunications networks – and they are also linked to a controversial National Security Agency surveillance program.
Atlanta, Chicago, Dallas, Los Angeles, New York City, San Francisco, Seattle, and Washington, D.C. In each of these cities, The Intercept has identified an AT&T facility containing networking equipment that transports large quantities of internet traffic across the United States and the world. A body of evidence – including classified NSA documents, public records, and interviews with several former AT&T employees – indicates that the buildings are central to an NSA spying initiative that has for years monitored billions of emails, phone calls, and online chats passing across U.S. territory.
Much has previously been reported about the NSA’s surveillance programs. But few details have been disclosed about the physical infrastructure that enables the spying.
There are many AT&T building across our country that are used by the NSA.
Now investigative journalists across the country used the pictures after the Nashville bombing to prove that the AT&T building that was the target of the bombing is a reinforced NSA style building and that the windows and the vents on the exterior are FAKE.

The building has a protective facade (fake wall) designed to redirect any explosive force up through channels and out the fake vents.
Image below:
Some observations of how hardened this building was.
Here we see the entrance on the right and the service dumpster on the left. Image below:
Inspecting aerial footage (next post) shows the entrance is actually the ‘hole in the wall’ and the brick seen here is ripped off the building.
Here we see the “hole in the wall” next to the circles grate and the long column where the device dumpster was.
Notice the brick is blown off the wall.
Image below:
Also, note the solid wall behind the brick and what looked like windows.
Image below:
While that damage may look extensive, it’s basically a hole where the entrance was and it’s really nothing compared to the complete devastation across the street.
Notice the double-thick brick columns in the debris.
Also, notice the exposed steel rebar in the third picture.
Images below:
Another question has to be asked.
Why did the Nashville AT&T building required this NFP warning sign:
W=Reacts violently or explosively w/ water 1= Unstable at High temperature makes unstable 3=may explode at high temperature 4=will vaporize or readily burn at normal temperature Images below:
AN interesting NIH search returns zero substances for this combination of properties.
Potential secret chemical? Maybe quantum computing-related? Can only speculate.
We can also speculate if this building is an NSA building but the style of the building definitely resembles the giant skyscrapers that we mentioned!
That’s the KooK attacked it with a mini nuke. Or was it a high intensity energy beam?
Some government nerd reads my posts?
Cool!
You will cluck like a chicken in your sleep. You will cluck like a chicken in your sleep. You will cluck like a chicken in your sleep.
W=Reacts violently or explosively w/ water 1= Unstable at High temperature makes unstable 3=may explode at high temperature 4=will vaporize or readily burn at normal temperature
Batteries large banks of batteries for backup), oil cooled transformers and large capacitors
This is NSA bomb-shelter hardened architecture.
I can tell you with 100% confidence that both Microsoft and Intel have been working with the NSA since at least 2010.
I have sources in both companies that have told me this.
Most employees in both companies have no idea it is going on.
At Intel, someone said something in a meeting which shouldn’t have been said.
With Microsoft, I knew someone working in a NSA hub.
Can’t say who or where.
My husband read an article online earlier today that stated the building hit was the one housing the Dominion voting machines and the ballot records that have been subpoenaed.
Old ATT buildings are literally built to withstand nuclear bombs.
They were build during the Cold War and were reinforced because they were part of the national command infrastructure.
I know the one across the street from where I worked looked like a Soviet Era building. Big, grey, very few windows. I later discovered why: Every transatlantic call went through this building. Every single one. Talk about a single point of failure.
It’s not done that way now.

It’s an AT&T CO with large quantities of backup batteries and diesel generators.
I can’t imagine why a building that houses vital communication links like 911 would want a building that can withstand, oh let’s say the force of a tornado or an earthquake.
No reason at all.
Omg its a central office full of phone and internet switching equipment, they are all non descript looking buildings.
Conspiracy nonsense. ATT and all the Bells built massively fortified structures to hold their essential telephone communications switches and trunks. No windows, thick, reinforced concrete, massive beams inside. Benn in !any of them. You should see the one in downto Detroit, inside and out. Been there, done that.
Oftenthe government paid for it, as they were deemed essential to security. Been like that for 80 years or so. And they are ALL nondescript. They didn’t want rioting democrat hippies in the 60’s targeting and burning them down. 12’ barbed wire fences, electric gates. Some had guard shacks. Electronic key cards early on.
FR has truned into conspiracy central. Stop falling for this communist disinformation.
How about AT&T holdings, CNN, Turner broadcasting , Direct TV , etc.
Having worked with a large UPS...
Those signs are correct.
While that damage may look extensive, it’s basically a hole where the entrance was and it’s really nothing compared to the complete devastation across the street.
Apparently this building that could withstand a nuclear attack wasn't hardened enough to prevent communications outages for hundreds of miles around.
(But I'm sure it was constructed pursuant to some CYA Government Spec.)

He needs to be more selective about what he reads.
Your husband sounds very dumb. Wouldn’t be telling people that.
Sound like a guy who gets scammed by the Kenyan lotto emails
Spent 30 plus years of my life in and out of “Bell System” central offices.
N E S and West
Above ground and below.
They are pretty damn secure
Worked here, see link below, in 2013 installing equipment.
My dear ole dad was part of the buildout when I was crapping green.

Way too many chiming in on this that dont have a clue as to what goes on inside and out of those buildings that most never paid attention to until recently.
PS: They are not server farms and most are dead space because what took 10 stories to house hardware equipment in the 70/80’s now only requires a 10th if that.
An RV with explosives would be the equivilatant of a fart....
