Former National Security Agency crypto-mathematician Bill Binney was blowing the whistle on domestic spying long before Edward Snowden became a household name, and has gone on record describing the agency’s growing powers as increasingly “totalitarian.” Now the 36-year agency veteran is explaining the reason for its expansion — “power, control and money.”
“Look at the NDAA [National Defense Authorization Act] Section 1021, that gave President Obama the ability to define someone as a terrorist threat and have the military incarcerate them indefinitely without due process,” Binney said in a recent interview with DW while expanding on his testimony about NSA in Germany earlier this year.
“That’s the same as the special order 48 issued in 1933 by the Nazis [the so-called Reichstag Fire Decree]. Read that — it says exactly the same thing.”
Binney said such totalitarianism begins with governments expanding population surveillance and gathering intelligence on people and their various activities, before eventually transitioning to using that power and knowledge against them.
“That’s what’s happening — in terms of newspaper reporters, in terms of crimes,” Binney said. “That’s a direct violation of our constitution.”
Binney pointed to examples like New York Times reporter James Risen, who is fighting a Justice Department order to reveal a source, and former CIA officer John Kiriakou, who is serving a 30-month prison sentence for exposing torture and leaking the name of an undercover operative.

The list, Ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
I know crypto zoologists look for bigfoot and Nessie. Do crypto mathematicians look for magic numbers or find pi to the last digit?
Place blame where it belongs: squarely on the backs of the politicians.
The NSA is a machine — it’s our “representation” that is responsible for how the surveillance tools are applied.
>> Do crypto mathematicians look for magic
Relatively speaking, yes.
I think they mean Cryptography, ie the study of Encraption..

Yes
CWII Spark — When a government official [or even small group] can define their opponent to be an enemy of the state there is far too much power there.
Sigh. Magic Numbers were always, to me, the number combination, Of wins and loses that would allow a major league MLB team to clinch.
No, this is not right — The NSA is a abhorrent agency whose purpose is not [directly] authorized by the Constitution, it is for this reason it routinely violates the Constitution.
I love the typo in your post! ;-P
Spock has the 'Puter still working it.
Click
Yep
Exactly. An very important to understand what enemies foreign and domestic hope to do within USA.
bttt
When they find the last number for pi they will indeed be magicians or deluded.
