NSA WHISTLEBLOWER: EVERYONE IN U.S. UNDER SURVEILLANCE, ALL INFO STORED, EVERYTHING
AS USUAL AND UNFORTUNATELY, THIS STORY WAS NOT COVERED BY THE LAPDOG GOVERNMENT-CONTROLLED-MEDIA-COMPLEX BACK IN DECEMBER OF 2012.
THE RUSSIAN TIMES DID THIS INTERVIEW WITH WILLIAM BINNEY, THE FORMER NSA EMPLOYEE, AN EXTREMELY COURAGEOUS WHISTLEBLOWER THAT HAS BEEN WARNING PEOPLE ABOUT THE U.S. GOVERNMENT SURVEILLANCE ON IT'S OWN CITIZENS.
AT 7:55 IN THE VIDEO THE R.T. CORRESPONDENT ASKS A QUESTION "IT SEEMS THAT THE PUBLIC IS DIVIDED BETWEEN THOSE WHO THINK THAT THE GOVERNMENT SURVEILLANCE PROGRAM VIOLATES THEIR CIVIL LIBERTIES AND THOSE WHO SAY I HAVE NOTHING TO HIDE SO WHY SHOULD I CARE. WHAT DO YOU SAY TO THOSE WHO THINK THAT THIS SHOULDN'T CONCERN THEM?"
LISTEN TO HIS ANSWER.
"THE PROBLEM IS, IF THEY DON'T THINK THEY'RE DOING ANYTHING WRONG THEY DON'T GET TO DEFINE THAT. THE CENTRAL GOVERNMENT DOES.
THE CENTRAL GOVERNMENT DECIDES WHAT IS RIGHT AND WRONG AND WHETHER OR NOT THEY TARGET YOU...IF THEIR POSITION IS AGAINST SOMETHING THE ADMINISTRATION HAS, THEN THEY COULD EASILY BECOME A TARGET."
CHILLING WORDS.
WHEN ASKED WHAT THE MOST OUTRAGEOUS THING HE HAD COME ACROSS WHILE AT NSA, MR. BINNEY REPLIED "THE VIOLATIONS OF THE CONSTITUTION AND ANY NUMBER OF LAWS THAT EXISTED AT THE TIME. THAT I COULD NOT LIVE WITH. THAT IS WHY I LEFT."
IF YOU THINK, FOR EVEN ONE NANOSECOND, THAT THIS ADMINISTRATION IS NOT VIOLATING OUR CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS...THAT WHEN OBAMA SAYS 'IT'S FOR PROTECTION AGAINST TERRORISTS'...YOU NEED TO TAKE THE BLINDERS OFF AND SEE THIS FOR WHAT IT IS.
AS MR. BINNEY STATES IN THE VIDEO, THE ORIGINAL PROGRAM WAS DESIGNED WITH ENCRYPTIONS TO FILTER OUT EVERYTHING THAT WAS NOT TERRORIST RELATED AND ONLY LOOK AT THE THINGS THAT WERE.
THOSE SAFEGUARDS AGAINST UNNECESSARY SPYING ON INNOCENT CITIZENS ARE NOW GONE.
THIS ADMINISTRATION HAS NOT ONLY STEPPED OVER THE LINE...THEY HAVE MARCHED OVER THE DIVIDE THE CONSTITUTION PROVIDED AS PROTECTION AGAINST AN OPPRESSIVE AND INTRUSIVE GOVERNMENT.
MR BINNEY STATED HE IS WORKING WITH THE ELECTRONIC FRONTIER FOUNDATION TO GET THIS CASE AGAINST THE GOVERNMENT BEFORE THE SUPREME COURT. VISIT THEIR WEBSITE. SUPPORT THEM IF YOU CAN, BUT AT LEAST SIGN UP TO BE KEPT INFORMED ABOUT THEIR PROGRESS.
