Think of it as a very powerful early version of Google, for such database management implied a search capability, and yes, just for the record, I do suspect a link between Google (and other emergent search engines in the early days of the web, and PROMIS). In effect, it was a database reader for any database, and this capability, of course, made it of interest to other agencies, for one could track almost anything with it, from cases, to terrorists, to weapons, to money flows, and so on. As such, it had to have a “”multi-lingual” computer language reading capability. It was being developed by Hamtilton’s company Inslaw for use in the Justice Department to allow prosecutors to track cases through state and federal systems.

PROMIS itself stands for PROsecutors’ Management Information Software (or in some versions, System). Why is this of interest and perhaps a huge component of the Epstein affair (and for that matter, the various human trafficking network stories that we’ve seen emerge, beginning all the way back with the Franklin Scandal, and continuing to today with “Pizzagate” and so on)? Here a brief review of what the PROMIS software was capable of is perhaps in order. And for those who may have forgotten, that was Ed Meece’s justice department. The rest of the story relates William (Bill) Hamilton, the CEO of Inslaw’s, efforts to recover his software and recoup damages for its theft by the Department of Justice under the Reagan Administration. According to court documents and a FOIA appeal filed by William Hamilton and Inslaw, portions of these documents were suddenly reclassified by the FBI in response to Inslaw’s FOIA request. As a result, the FBI opened a counterintelligence investigation to the matter. and Israeli intelligence are accused of modifying PROMIS to do.Īccording to FBI documents first obtained by William Hamilton of Inslaw Inc., the original creator of the PROMIS software which was stolen by the Justice Department, the FBI was contacted by employees of Sandia National Laboratories regarding Robert Maxwell and his company’s access to government databases based on information from the National Security Agency.

The withheld materials describe Maxwell accessing an NSA database with information on tapping government databases, which is precisely what U.S.

All but forgotten, however, are his alleged ties to the PROMIS affair, thanks in no small part to the FBI withdrawing his file from public view. and Israel, and was accused of ties to the Mossad abduction of Mordechai Vanunu – accusations which he denied shortly before his apparent suicide. Less remembered is that he was an alleged spy for both the U.K. Sir Robert Maxwell is mostly remembered as the Czech-born British media mogul who owned the Daily Mirror and was a Member of Parliament. Here’s the story in a nutshell, from the first two paragraphs in the article:

The media mogul and alleged spy’s increasingly redacted ties to the PROMIS scandal include tapping a government database on tapping government databases: Here’s the story, and please note, this is from 2017, before Epstein’s recent arrest: spotted this one, and it’s about the increasing likelihood that there is much more involved in the whole Epstein affair than meets the eye, including a tie between Robert Maxwell and the Inslaw-PROMIS affair.
