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.

Yer preachin’ the choir.

A friend of mine worked for ‘them’ and would tell me stuff that would scare anybody who had any sense and I’ve learned to deal with the inevitability of it over the last 15 years.

This isn’t new or even novel.

It just takes up less room now.

Where I live is full of ‘spooks’ anyway.

It makes you a bit fatalistic, after a while.

[and fond of gallows humor, too]

Thanks for the Ping. Pretty fun/amusing thread so far, considering the sobering subject of the post.

Salamander, your FR homepage is freakin' awesome!

Eventually I embedded Tull’s “Thick As A Brick” midi on the pages so they had to hear it every time they clicked.
After that, they went away.


I think I would have considered utilizing the infamous 'Hampster Dance' both forwards and backwards.

Ack!

No way!

I had to check and update the site myself and I’d have gone crazy.

[but the “Badger Badger Badger” video...maybe]

I ... kid ... you ... not - I no sooner hit 'post' (about sending you FReepmail) and my system locked up and I had to reboot. Right hand to God, I'm telling the truth. (now re-writing that FReepmail if TPTB will permit me, lol)

In the ultimate irony (and yes I received your FReepmail reply), I was thinking about ‘fingernails’ and thought “maybe I should trim ‘em up a bit”, got out my trusty clippers and what do you think happened?

The clippers broke. No ... joke. I could be starring in my own reality show (wait, maybe I am?) lol

G’nite!! ;)
