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.

*My* “basement” is The Evil Ancient Root Cellar.

Dirt floor, rocks strewn about, lots of holes and crevices where The Scary Things live.

And...no tools.

Nope...just take a quick turn on some little goat path road while he’s too far behind to see where I went.

[I do that sometimes anyway..and then have to go back and find him..or wait until he drives by and zoom up beside him. I’m very nerve-wracking to ride with, I’m told]

“Home turf advantage” and all that.
