Editors note: The following is a lightly-edited transcription of an interview with William Binney, a former employee with the NSA who after over 30 years with the agency quit and became a whistleblower, bringing to light many of their illegal activities and mass surveillance of American citizens.
Libertas Institute: Please describe your work experience with the NSA.
William Binney: For approximately 28 years, I was primarily involved in breaking codes and dealing with ciphers and data systems and solving those, and working with data, trying to do threat assessment with all of that data that we had.
After a while, I became the Technical Director of the World Geopolitical and Military Analysis Reporting Group. What that meant was that I had to expand my thinking around the world, and the major problem was data with the web and everything. Thats when I started designing programs to handle that information and be able to select out what was important and what wasnt.
Then I started implementing those programs, and NSA took those programs and started to direct in domestic data. When they did that, thats when I left. I couldnt be a party to that.

Several links on this thread might be of interest!
William Binney speaks out on YouTube. If you want a private conversation do NOT speak in a room with a computer or phone IN THE ROOM. I assume that also applies to ‘smart’ appliances...

They don’t have time to listen to all the conversations - but the software used to ‘make connections’ gives a much clearer picture. Plus if they do need to pinpoint a conversation they can pull it up in seconds.
Nut-job Conspiracy Theory Ping!

Thanks. I had seen this type of info referenced, but had never seen an archived site.
Wonder how much is NOT ON the archive?
No, it was not an accidental find.
But there are many people today who have this sense that something terribly wrong is happening to the US.
So “The Source” could be either good or bad.
Guess we will see as this plays out.
Yes, indeed.
How about smart power meters?
WB: No. You see, I left the government with a way to do it without violating the privacy of U.S. citizens. They chose not to do that. That was a conscious choice that they made.
This was the key question, yet lacked an important piece of follow-up. WHEN was that choice made. I put my guess at 2005-6 because planning for the Utah Data Center was complete by 2007. There would be no reason for a facility that huge were the decision not cast in concrete.
Bush.
You may be correct.
As bad as I hate to admit it. This does NOT Remove any responsibility from Obozo for the excesses.
Of course not. My guess is that the change Zero represents is that he has used it primarily for political purposes. See tag line.
I suspect the reason is the goons are after Americans who happen to be conservative. In other words ALL Americans are paying taxes to support an organization that targets citizens. And yeah, I'm starting to think they're targeting democrats too.
agreed.
