NSA whistleblower Bill Binney told then-C.I.A. chief Mike Pompeo there was no Russia Hack at the DNC. Three years later, Mike Pompeo is still sitting on that crucial piece of information. William Binney, a 30-year former intelligence official with the United States National Security Agency (NSA) and high profile whistleblower, spoke with National File recently about his October 2017 meeting with then-CIA director, Mike Pompeo, which was called between the two at the direction of President Donald J. Trump. Even though Binney boldly informed then-CIA director and now Secretary of State, Pompeo that he had proof and his own investigations...

About six months ago, a blogpost by “Publius Tacitus” appeared regarding attorney Ty Clevenger’s FOIA request regarding Seth Rich: “But now there is new information that may corroborate what the human sources quoted in the Fox article claimed about Seth’s role in getting the DNC documents to Wikileaks. Borne from a FOIA request filed in November 2017 by attorney Ty Clevenger, who requested any information regarding Seth Rich and Julian Assange. The NSA informed Clevenger in a letter dated 4 October 2018 that: Your request has been processed under the provisions of the FOIA. Fifteen documents (32 pages) responsive to...

At a May press conference capping his tenure as special counsel, Robert Mueller emphasized what he called "the central allegation" of the two-year Russia probe. The Russian government, Mueller sternly declared, engaged in "multiple, systematic efforts to interfere in our election, and that allegation deserves the attention of every American." Mueller's comments echoed a January 2017 Intelligence Community Assessment (ICA) asserting with "high confidence" that Russia conducted a sweeping 2016 election influence campaign. "I don't think we've ever encountered a more aggressive or direct campaign to interfere in our election process," then-Director of National Intelligence James Clapper told a Senate...

Summary of Interview: Dave Janda Interviews Bill Binney and Kirk Wiebe on the NSA data collection policies and parallel intelligence platforms, i.e., Hammer and the DNC leak. As Janda notes credits are due to Mary Fanning and Alan Jones investigative work on the topic.

Roger Stone is requesting proof that the Russians hacked the DNC server, as was reported in the Mueller report. He claims if the Russians didn’t hack the DNC, his case should be dismissed.

Revelations came out on Good Friday that the NSA has 32 pages of communications between Julian Assange and Seth Rich, the former Democratic National Committee employee who was murder in Washington DC. In what authorities call a robbery Rich was shot and killed on July 10, 2016, at 4:20 am. However his wallet, phone and other personal items were all still in his possession. While Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s report continues with the narrative that the Clinton emails were hacked by the Russians and given to Assange’s Wikileaks, this revelation of previous contact between the two suggests there was no...

A team of former high-level intelligence computer geeks has concluded that Russia never hacked the Democratic National Committee servers in 2016. This story might come as a surprise to you since the mainstream media is engaged in a total news blackout of any information that damages their insane Russia collusion conspiracy theory. After every aspect of Hillary Clinton’s bought-and-paid-for “Russian dossier” has been exposed as a complete hoax, we’re now learning that the “Russian hack” was likewise fake news. William Binney is the former Technical Director of the NSA, and Larry Johnson is a former CIA counterterrorism analyst. I don’t...

Former National Security Agency technical director and surveillance state whistleblower William Binney has long said 9/11 could have been prevented had the NSA not capitulated to big-money private contractors less than a month prior to the attacks. Mainstream media, perhaps capitulating to its own monied corporate owners, relegated Binney’s explosive claims to the backburner for years. However, on Thursday — two days after the Senate Judiciary Committee began debating whether or not to reauthorize massive and controversial NSA surveillance programs — Salon finally headlined Binney’s damning claim and its backstory. The attacks of September 11, 2001, could have been thwarted...

Begun by the New York Times opinion section in 2011, Op-Docs is a series of short, interactive, and virtual reality documentaries. Each film is produced with wide creative latitude by both renowned and emerging filmmakers, and premieres across Times online platforms. The goal of each Op-Doc is to present a unique point of view. -- Posting comment: That is all the NYT says about this documentary which describes domestic surveillance being done against all Americans post-9/11. The focus of this documentary is the Stellar Wind project which conducted warrentless surveillance. The Utah Data Center facility was nearing completion at the...

Just a month ago we raised more than a proverbial eyebrow when we noted the creation of the NSA's Utah Data Center (codename Stellar Wind) and William Binney's formidable statement that "we are this far from a turnkey totalitarian state". Democracy Now has the former National Security Agency technical director whistleblower's first TV interview in which he discusses the NSA's massive power to spy on Americans and why the FBI raided his home. Since retiring from the NSA in 2001, he has warned that the NSA’s data-mining program has become so vast that it could "create an Orwellian state." National...

President Donald Trump is "absolutely right" to claim he was wiretapped and monitored, a former NSA official claimed Monday, adding that the administration risks falling victim to further leaks if it continues to run afoul of the intelligence community. "I think the president is absolutely right. His phone calls, everything he did electronically, was being monitored," Bill Binney, a 36-year veteran of the National Security Agency who resigned in protest from the organization in 2001, told Fox Business on Monday. Everyone's conversations are being monitored and stored, Binney said. Trump's Base Is Standing Firm Binney resigned from NSA shortly after...
