NSA Whistleblower Speaks Out on Verizon, PRISM, and the Utah Data Center
Libertas Institute ^ | June 7, 2013 | William Binney (interview)

Posted on 06/07/2013 9:09:15 PM PDT by Texas Fossil

Editor’s 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. That’s when I started designing programs to handle that information and be able to select out what was important and what wasn’t.

Then I started implementing those programs, and NSA took those programs and started to direct in domestic data. When they did that, that’s when I left. I couldn’t be a party to that.

I asked - it’s suppose to help repairmen know what parts to bring to avoid making two trips. I have my doubts...

Yeah. I have my doubts about that too. If they know the model and the ‘problem’ they can bring just about anything they’d need in one of those work vans. They could bring 2 or 3 complete new washing machines in one of those vans.

I mean really. What can go wrong with a machine. If it was the outer part it would be obvious ‘hey dude, there’s a giant hole in the side of my washing machien!’.

So they don’t need to bring one of those.

If it were the tub you’d be all like ‘dude, the tub has a giant hole in it!’

And they’d bring one of those.

It’s most likely to be a moving part or part that makes something else move. Likely a belt or related part. Those are small. How much room do they take?

Not buying the whole diagnostic bit at all. Nope. Not at all.

Next we’ll have creepy little washing machines that detect human presence if you’re in front of it. I know that technological breakthrough will REVOLUTIONIZE clothes washing. /s
