NSA Whistleblower Details How The NSA Has Spied On All US Citizens Since 9/11
Business Insider ^ | Aug. 24, 2012 | Michael Kelley

Posted on 08/24/2012 10:02:21 PM PDT by george76

National Security Agency whistleblower William Binney explains how the secretive agency run its pervasive domestic spying apparatus...

Binney—one of the best mathematicians and code breakers in NSA history—worked for the Defense Department's foreign signals intelligence agency for 32 years before resigning in late 2001 because he "could not stay after the NSA began purposefully violating the Constitution."

In a short video called "The Program," Binney explains how the agency took part of one of the programs he built and started using it to spy on virtually every U.S. citizen without warrants under the code-name Stellar Wind.

Learn how the UK countries spy on us and us on them. That way we aren’t spying on us and them on them:

http://whatreallyhappened.com/RANCHO/POLITICS/ECHELON/echelon.html

Rumors have abounded for several years of a massive system designed to intercept virtually all email and fax traffic in the world and subject it to automated analysis, despite laws in many nations (including this one) barring such activity. The laws were circumvented by a mutual pact among five nations. It’s illegal for the United States to spy on it’s citizens. Likewise the same for Great Britain. But under the terms of the UKUSA agreement, Britain spies on Americans and America spies on British citizens and the two groups trade data. Technically, it may be legal, but the intent to evade the spirit of the laws protecting the citizens of those two nations is clear.

The system is called ECHELON, and had been rumored to be in development since 1947, the result of the UKUSA treaty signed by the governments of the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia and New Zealand.

The purpose of the UKUSA agreement was to create a single vast global intelligence organization sharing common goals and a common agenda, spying on the world and sharing the data. The uniformity of operation is such that NSA operatives from Fort Meade could work from Menwith Hill to intercept local communications without either nation having to formally approve or disclose the interception.

I'm glad I didn't wear you out with info you didn't want. ;-)

I don't know how I got on his e-mail list (they claim I opted in according to their software, lol) but here is the addie his latest stuff came from if you want to try and get on it.

rand.paul@nationalprolifealliance.com

Here is a select bit from that most recent mailing and a link to the petition he wants signatures on.

You see, the reality is that scores of politicians who claimed to be pro-life yet voted for ObamaCare's $7 billion subsidy for the abortion lobby were tossed out last year.

In the Senate, even though Majority Leader Harry Reid barely held his own seat, it was DESPITE his pro-abortion agenda.

So pro-lifers are starting from a strong position in the campaign to end tax dollars for abortion.

Therefore, let me be blunt.

If a politician claims to be pro-life while voting for billions of tax dollars for abortion and abortionists, he is lying.

Petition to Your Representative and U.S. Senators & Mitch McConnell and John Boehner Oppose Using Taxpayer Dollars to Fund Abortion

I understand. I have a cousin working on the project. If that were my only source of information on it, I’d pretty much know exactly nothing.

That’s probably not career enhancing.

and for all you know I might be working on it too!

Thanks, I signed the petition and was looking for a link to signing up for Rand Paul news, but didn’t see anything there.

But maybe I’ll get added now that I’ve signed the petition.

No. I’d pretty much know exactly nothing.

I'd know my cousin has a job. I'd know it's a government project. And could infer that it's somewhere within commuting distance of my cousin's new address, if I assume my cousin commutes daily. (Keep in mind that Area 51 workers were known to commute from Burbank and Las Vegas)

Of COURSE there’s coffee in the basement.
No basement involving conspiracy is worth it’s salt without coffee in the basement.

Don’t worry, the coffee doesn’t kill 63% of the population who drink it.

“You know that I know that you know that I know that this guy’s ass is grass.......”

No problem for him.

He said/printed nothing about:

Obozo’s place of birth.

Obozo’s real dad!

Obozo’s real nationality.

Obozo’s college days and grades at Occidental.

Obozo’s grades and attendance in law school supposedly at Columbia.

Why Obozo and Michelle are no longer lawyers.

Obozo’s links with known terrorists.

Obozo’s trip to Pakistan.

So this guy is safe. He has not violated the real secrets as noted above.
