In a series of 4 reports by Reporter/Monetary Reformer Bill Still, the NSA's highest ranking official to date, Bill Binney, who went by the title of "technical director of the world for G.O. political and military analysis and reporting group" has confirmed everything Edward Snowden has said so far, and added that the NSA has 2,000 transcribers whose job it is just to take down whatever the electronic data gathers cannot (due to background noise, he says). He quit on moral conscience grounds, just like Snowden.
Here is the first video:
In the second video, Bill Binney confirms that all content of all phone calls within the United States are recorded and one million a day are transcribed for permanent preservation. He concludes that this means the government NSA officials have perjured themselves by claiming otherwise.
In the last video, Binney everyone, even the Supreme Court, is spied upon. Further, the NSA will collect data and then, if they find something illegal, they will work backwards through legal channels to obtain the same information in a legal way. Still and Binney compare this to conducting an Easter Egg hunt while knowing where all the Easter Eggs are buried.
Binney concludes by saying Snowden would not get a fair trial in America, due to invocation of the State Secret's Act, that would suppress all evidence and effectively silence him.

(943 posts)conversations? Now I understand why all these vile decisions, lawless ruling coming from the high court and lower court and the 'do nothing congress', they have no choice. the one percent controls it all. they would be blackmailed if they don't do as they are told. in my opinion.

(50,560 posts)Mr. Binney was part of one of two working groups that was designing a system to "analyze data on communication networks like the Internet."
Binney's team of NSA officers created a system called ThinThread.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ThinThread
A private-sector team championed by then-Director Michael Hayden created a competing system called Trailblazer.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trailblazer_Project
Apparently ThinThread worked in testing (although a few things were missing, like the ability to create trouble tickets for when it broke), but NSA went with the Trailblazer concept, which they never could get to work. He retired shortly after his system was rejected, and has spent his remaining years talking about how NSA's just full of spies who are worse than the KGB and Stasi now, and how America Would Be Much Greater if his all-seeing-but-American-guarding system had been deployed instead of Trailblazer. To make a long story (that contains FBI agents pointing guns in his face while he was in the shower) short, he lost his clearance in 2007 for spreading these stories.
So the question is, if he hasn't even been in the building in 12 years and lists his job title as something that makes no sense ("political" and "military" desks are separate, and the "military" desks are staffed by people whose first name is Sergeant; there are "economic/political" desks), can he be believed?
