For anyone who hasn't heard of PROMIS, it is software linked to a complex network of domestic and global spying involving every president since the 1980s. A company in Little Rock, Arkansas -- Systematics, Inc. -- is alleged to be behind adapting the PROMIS software to their core banking systems allowing backdoor access to data used to predict changes in the global economy and perhaps even launder money.
The company was started by Jackson Stephens -- Bill Clinton's former financier -- and Systematics installed their core banking systems in major financial institutions across the globe throughout three decades. In 1990, the company was bought out by Alltel, changing it's name.
The Clintons, Bush Sr., and the CIA are alleged to be deeply involved in many of the crimes said to have been committed through PROMIS. In fact, PROMIS software is linked to facilitating the covert funding of unauthorized intelligence operations.
The tentacles of the PROMIS controversies may even extend further to Reagan and Carter. PROMIS and Systematics even play a central role in the Vince Foster/Hillary Clinton/Rose Law Firm conspiracy theories.
Needless to say, the allegations pertaining to PROMIS are so complex, I can't possibly cover them in this post . Honestly, I can barely grasp them myself. I've selected a few links to lay the background for those unfamiliar and wanting to go deeper. Read them with caution, I don't guarantee the accuracy of these sources -- in fact, I only skimmed them. I just want to provide some kind of overview, please do the research you are comfortable with. This is just a starting point -- there is a plethora of information to be found.
I've also noticed that some ATSers are well-versed in the controversies surrounding PRISM and PROMIS, so please post what you've read and educate us all.
Systematics - since purchased by Alltel - an Arkansas financial and technical firm headed by billionaire Jackson Stephens, has often been reported as the primary developer of Promis for financial intelligence use. Systematics through its various evolutions had been a primary supplier of software used in inter-bank and international money transfers for many years. Attorneys who have been connected to Systematics and Promis include Webster Hubbell, Hillary Clinton and the late Vince Foster.
Alltel Company Origins *Note that Alltel and Systematics BOTH originate with the Stephens family business

1948
Grant County Telephone Company
Witt Stephens sells Grant County Telephone Co. to Hugh Wilbourn and Charlie Miller. This launches a fifty-year relationship and leads to the evolution of global telecom giant Alltel.
1968
Systematics
Stephens Family partners with Walter Smiley to create Systematics and begins a relationship that spans more than 40 years. Systematics becomes a leader in bank-data processing and is ultimately acquired by Alltel.
Alltel Corporation purchases Systematics and then becomes Alltel Information Services, which is now Fidelity National Information Services.
Fidelity National Information Services — previously known as ALLTEL Information Services
1991
"Witt Stephens was an Arkansas legend. He was a great business leader who helped to build our state, and was a force in politics for decades. He was also a good friend to me. I treasured his friendship and advice, and I will miss him very much."
"Obituary Quote from President Bill Clinton"
Obama's uncle Cecil Goeldner worked for Systematics for 30 years. Curiously, Obama's mother, Stanley Ann Dunham was involved in Women's World Bank (micro finance)

Here's another facet of "the story":
...the Thompson [U.S. Senate] Committee report that is now being leaked to the press confirms the long-held suspicion that James and Mochtar Riady of the Lippo empire "have had a long-term relationship with a Chinese intelligence agency."
This confirmation, although the supporting evidence has been excised from the report, adds additional pieces to puzzle of how the Chinese intelligence penetration of U.S. government succeeded, and shows how the seeds were planted well before the 1996 election, even well before the 1992 election.
For it was in 1984 that Mochtar Riady entered Arkansas and joined a partnership with Jackson Stephens to buy Worthen Bank and installed his son James Riady as director of the bank. Worthen bank quickly became the epicenter of Arkansas politics, hiring as its prime outside counsel the Rose Law Firm where Hillary Clinton, Webster Hubbell, and Vince Foster worked, and becoming the primary bank of Systematics Inc., the Stephens-owned national security contractor and banking software firm which also retained Rose as outside counsel.
Worthen was the beneficiary of several legislative acts promoted by then-Governor Clinton, and reciprocated financially, culminating with a $3.5 million bailout of the 1992 Clinton Campaign at a crucial juncture.

Danny Casolaro was found dead in a hotel bathtub at the Sheraton hotel in August 1991 — the official verdict was suicide.
At the time of his death, he was investigating a sprawling criminal conspiracy he labelled ‘The Octopus’.
Casolaro’s starting point for his investigation was a real criminal case — a wide-ranging Washington scandal involving allegations that the US Government had stolen software company Inslaw’s PROMIS program and added illegal back doors in order to spy on foreign governments.
Casolaro called his conspiracy ‘Octopus’ for a reason, as he followed the trail from PROMIS to reveal a much larger story, one that encompassed such seemingly disparate events as the October surprise, the collapse of bank BBCI and the illegal drugs and arms trade — all orchestrated by a secret cabal of global elites.

Thank you for the article, his conclusions appear to be spot on. The question remains as to whether anyone can ultimately do anything about it.
