William Binney, a whistleblower at the National Security Agency (NSA), had his life turned upside down after revealing to the public just how much information the United States government is gathering on its citizens. He says the most recent wave began after September 11, 2001, but that it has only accelerated in recent years.
A 32-year veteran of the agency, Binney had the title of senior technical director and was considered one of the foremost mathematicians and code breakers in the business, according to a documentary featured in the New York Times. He quit, however, after the NSA started using programs it had developed to spy on foreign governments, to spy on Americans.
He has not been silent since his resignation, and is warning Americans from every platform he can find. He recently gave a chilling interview to Russia Today, and then spoke with TheBlaze TV.
With Russia Today, Binney reiterated how the government is collecting information on everyone, not just national security risks and suspected national security risks. Then, if you become a target “for whatever reason,” he explained, ” the government can go in– or the FBI, or other agencies of the government– they can go into their database, pull all that data collected.”
And with hundreds of thousands of pages of regulations these days, you are doing something wrong.
The prisons are overcrowded and the citizens outnumber the regulators 5,000 to 1.In other words,since all of us ARE doing something wrong,what pray tell are they going to do with us once we are caught? Duh.Catch and release as usual?
ReplyDeleteDon't do anything wrong and you don't have anything to worry about.
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately, NSA does a pretty good job at growing enlarged self egos. This individual is one of those. Employees there sign an agreement that the punishment for circumventing national security is death.
