Organization

Years before Edward Snowden provided documented
proof that the National Security Agency was
really a national insecurity agency as it was
violating law and the US Constitution and spying
indiscriminately on American citizens,
William
Binney,
who designed and developed the NSA spy program
revealed the illegal and unconstitutional
spying. Binney turned whistleblower, because NSA
was using the program to spy on Americans. As
Binney was well known to the US Congress, he did
not think he needed any NSA document to make his
case. But what he found out was “Congress would
never hear me because then they’d lose plausible
deniability. That was really their key. They
needed to have plausible deniability so they can
continue this massive spying program because it
gave them power over everybody in the world.
Even the members of Congress had power against
others [in Congress]; they had power on judges
on the Supreme Court, the federal judges, all of
them. That’s why they’re so afraid. Everybody’s
afraid because all this data that’s about them,
the central agencies — the intelligence
agencies — they have it. And that’s why Senator
Schumer warned President Trump earlier, a few
months ago, that he shouldn’t attack the
intelligence community because they’ve got six
ways to Sunday to come at you. That’s because
it’s like J. Edgar Hoover on super steroids. . .
. it’s leverage against every member of
parliament and every government in the world.”
To
prevent whistle-blowing, NSA has “a program now
called ‘see something, say something’ about your
fellow workers. That’s what the Stasi did.
That’s why I call [NSA] the new New Stasi
Agency. They’re picking up all the techniques
from the Stasi and the KGB and the Gestapo and
the SS. They just aren’t getting violent yet
that we know of — internally in the US, outside
is another story.”
As
Binney had no documents to give to the media,
blowing the whistle had no consequence for NSA.
This is the reason that Snowden released the
documents that proved NSA to be violating both
law and the Constitution, but the corrupt US
media focused blame on Snowden as a “traitor”
and not on NSA for its violations.
Whistleblowers are protected by federal law.
Regardless, the corrupt US government tried to
prosecute Binney for speaking out, but as he had
taken no classified document, a case could not
be fabricated against him.
Binney
blames the NSA’s law-breaking on Dick “Darth”
Cheney. He says NSA’s violations of law and
Constitution are so extreme that they would have
to have been cleared at the top of the
government.
Binney
describes the spy network, explains that it was
supposed to operate only against foreign
enemies, and that using it for universal spying
so overloads the system with data that the
system fails to discover many terrorist
activities.

Apparently, the National Security Agency values
being able to blackmail citizens and members of
government at home and abroad more than
preventing terrorist attacks.
Unfortunately for Americans, there are many
Americans who blindly trust the government and
provide the means, the misuse of which is used
to enslave us. A large percentage of the work in
science and technology serves not to free people
but to enslave them. By now there is no excuse
for scientists and engineers not to know this.
Yet they persist in their construction of the
means to destroy liberty.
