NSA Official: 'We Are Now A Police State'

Last year, high-ranking NSA official Bill Binney said, “We are, like, that far from a turnkey totalitarian state.” Now, Binney says that the U.S. has already become a full-blown police state.

Binney told Washington’s Blog on Wednesday that:

“The main use of the collection from these [NSA spying] programs [is] for law enforcement. [See the 2 slides below].”

“These slides give the policy of the DOJ/FBI/DEA etc. on how to use the NSA data. In fact, they instruct that none of the NSA data is referred to in courts – cause it has been acquired without a warrant.”

“So, they have to do a ‘Parallel Construction’ and not tell the courts or prosecution or defense the original data used to arrest people. This I call: a ‘planned programed perjury policy’ directed by US law enforcement.”

“And, as the last line on one slide says, this also applies to ‘Foreign Counterparts.’”

Baloney.A police state requires the ability to ENFORCE.Having knowledge of ANYTHING and being able to act on it are totally different.A police state for real? Give us a break.Everyone is sitting in front of a computer.Bullies tend to spout off at the mouth while not able to back anything up.The NSA is a bully.

12:34...you IDIOT! For DECADES, the NSA has been monitoring the communications of American citizens (contrary to their charter mission statement) (i.e., tapping the public phone booths at Grand Central Station, reading EVERY SINGLE cable sent by American citizens, and listening to ALL outgoing calls from the United States. THEN passing that info to LAW ENFORCEMENT entities like the FBI, the DEA, State Lice, etc., who then make the arrests. This is DOCUMENTD FACT. By the NSA's own officials and testimony.
Further, as I've said before, they are completely immune from ANY prosecution due to a clause inserted into an unrelated bill passed in the early 1960's.
So much for your "baloney" hypothesis.....what do you do? work in the disinformation section of the NSA?
You might want to examine what defines a "police state", too. We are hitting on just about all cylinders of THAT definition, too (locking up journalists who piss the government off, secretly arresting and secretly imprisoning Americans, confiscating property and money without charges or trial, stopping innocent citizens at gunpoint and forcing them to submit to searches and/or showing 'their papers" --- the list is quite long) that is, when you come down off those anti-delusional meds.
