Bill Binney, a 32-year, high-ranking NSA veteran admits that that the United States is a full-blown police state.
This is the man who created the agency’s mass surveillance program for digital information.
Not only does the NSA spy on virtually everything we do, it has sent highly confidential, personal information of citizens to other countries, like Israel and the UK.
Some say, “so what, I’m not doing anything wrong so it won’t affect me.” This is quite a narrow point of view mainly 2 reasons:
1 – There are so many laws on the books, virtually everyone breaks laws everyday without knowing it. So if someone in the government did want to ‘put you in your place’, they could. You are not truly free like this.
2 – This information is being collected in order to silence those who would oppose the government as the country descends into a totalitarian state. Anyone who voices decent will have crimes on record that they can be persecuted with. They might not come after you specifically, but they certainly will come after those who defend your rights, even if you won’t.
32-year NSA Veteran Who Created Mass Surveillance System Says Government Use of Data Gathered Through Spying “Is a Totalitarian Process”
Bill Binney is the high-level NSA executive who created the agency’s mass surveillance program for digital information. A 32-year NSA veteran widely regarded as a “legend” within the agency, Binney was the senior technical director within the agency and managed thousands of NSA employees.
Binney has been interviewed by virtually all of the mainstream media, including CBS, ABC, CNN, New York Times, USA Today, Fox News, PBS and many others.
Last year, Binney held his thumb and forefinger close together, and said:
We are, like, that far from a turnkey totalitarian state.
But today, Binney told Washington’s Blog that the U.S. has already become a police state.
By way of background, the government is spying on virtually everything we do.
All of the information gained by the NSA through spying is then shared with federal, state and local agencies, and they are using that information to prosecute petty crimes such as drugs and taxes. The agencies are instructed to intentionally “launder” the information gained through spying, i.e. to pretend that they got the information in a more legitimate way … and to hide that from defense attorneys and judges.
This is a bigger deal than you may realize, as legal experts say that there are so many federal and state laws in the United States, that no one can keep track of them all … and everyone violates laws every day without even knowing it.
The NSA also ships Americans’ most confidential, sensitive information to foreign countries like Israel (and here), the UK and other countries … so they can “unmask” the information and give it back to the NSA … or use it for their own purposes.
Binney told us today:
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.”
This is a total corruption of the justice system not only in our country but around the world. The source of the info is at the bottom of each slide. This is a totalitarian process – means we are now in a police state.
Here are the two slides which Binney pointed us to:
(Source: Reuters via RT; SOD stands for “Special Operations Division,” a branch of a federal government agency.)
We asked Binney a follow-up question:
You say “this also applies to ‘Foreign Counterparts.’” Does that mean that foreign agencies can also “launder” the info gained from NSA spying? Or that data gained through foreign agencies’ spying can be “laundered” and used by U.S. agencies?
Binney responded:
For countries like the five eyes (US, Canada, UK, Australia, New Zealand) and probably some others it probably works both ways. But for others that have relationships with FBI or DEA etc., they probably are given the data to used to arrest people but are not told the source or given copies of the data.
Cant wait for the day that the military turns tails on Obama,
Cant wait for the day that the military turns tails on Obama,
This surveillance society, police state has been building for a lot longer than the current president has been in office, not that it makes one single, solitary iota of difference under which president this push to make all Americans subjects rather than citizens began. Only when a sufficient number of Americans die in suspicious accidents, are hounded to take their own lives and are persecuted into prison on knowingly false and trumped up evidence will we take up arms against this ongoing criminal enterprise masquerading as a central government.
tell them to have a great time reading about my dull life
hitlers gestapo !!
we’ve known that for quite some time.
NSA needs disbanding, cut off taxes for them outlaws!
Why am I Not surprised
People we are going to have to open our eyes. Obama is going to do something soon for if the Democrats go into the November election for he knows its going to be bad for the Democrats. A friend tonight told me what he through Obama would do, and I have always said that something like this would happen. Obama is being backed into a corner and at some time before the election Obama will fine a reason to declare Marshal Law then he can go after all the peoples guns and then he would not leave the office but as long as we are in Marshal Law Obama will remain in as our Dictator and if we the people don’t do as we are told then we will be put into a FEMA camp like the SS troops did , there they will most likely be killed because I know if they kill our own baby’s I know they would kill troublemakers . Onama is running in fear for he knows he will be impeached of the Republicans and the tea party gets in he’s history . I and thousands of other gun will not let this happen without a fight , We have people training every day to stand up to the ones that try to take our guns and shells . WE WILL FIGHT TO OUR LAST BREATH TO PROTECT OUR FAMILY’S AND OUR NATION . GOD BLESS AMERICIA …..
Thanks to BO 1!
