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.

Have you seen this man?

He has seen you...

Nut-job Conspiracy Theory Ping!

To get onto The Nut-job Conspiracy Theory Ping List you must threaten to report me to the Mods if I don’t add you to the list...

[Salamander]

It’s not that nutty.

After 9/11, every alphabet agency, Los Alamos *and* black ops joint in the country was hitting our website because “US Trikes” must have sounded too much like “US strikes” to them.

I mean *hundreds* of hits every week.

It went on for months.

I guess they were waiting to see if we’d suddenly ‘attack’ something.
[WTH?]

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.

[Bshaw]

MMmmmmmmm - Hmmmmm, Sure would like me some of them fried taters.

[null and void]

That’s the whole point of the ping list, it’s for things that aren’t that nutty...

[Jet Jaguar]

Well thought plan.

[CodeToad]

The fed has been spying on citizens since Hoover, just who does the spying has changed. To skirt domestic laws we exchange collected data with foreign governments.

[Salamander]

Ah.

Okay.

;]

[null and void]

just who does the spying has changed.

Really?

You don't think that the technological capability to monitor and record 100% of the electronic communications that are in or pass through the United States is a change?

[null and void]

Some day I’ll tell you the story of how the list got its name...

[Salamander]

My paranoid friend said it would just p*ss them off and I shouldn’t do it.

Well *I* was p*ssed off because they were skewing my web stats all to hell.

That, and I thought it was funny.

[I never said I had any measurable common sense]

;D

[Salamander]

OK.

:)

[and now I’m going to go take a shower...seriesly]

[null and void]

I got your back...

[Salamander]

Oh good...combing the tangles out of my hair is a 2 person job.

;D

[philman_36]

The next thing you know we'll be finding out that they can automatically cause your computer to shut down/reboot despite having a firewall, no known viruses on your system, no recognized system problems and up to date virus and malware protection.

The good thing about all of this...I haven't been paranoid for over ten years for nothing after all. {;^)

[philman_36]

Eventually I embedded Tull’s “Thick As A Brick” midi on the pages...

You're so bad.
What is worse is I like it!

[null and void]

Yep, and I know better than to start at the roots...

[HiTech RedNeck]

Amateurs. Real professionals would let their computers chew through the website and the computers wouldn’t care less about Tull.

[TigersEye]

Rand Paul doesn’t think it’s nutty. He sent out an e-mail saying he was briefed on this very thing.

[TigersEye]

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.

LOL when people tell me the FedMob is spying on me I tell them I can think of no more deserving revenge that some dweeb has to read all my e-mail and follow my internet surfing. Die of boredom, suckers!

[Slyfox]

In the Maryland area they call it No Such Agency.

[Ackackadack]

It’s a sad sign of the times that this surprises me not in the least.

[Salamander]

Marry me!

;D

[justa-hairyape]

But do they have real time data base analysis ? Can they do a constant real time search for a specific voice pattern ? And then instantly tap into the identified voice conversation ?

[Hardraade]

Lol. There are no secrets.

[Salamander]

Bizarrely, I think we eventually sold a trike kit to one of them.

Somebody was awake at the wheel.

[Salamander]

Sarcasm is just of the many services I offer.

:)

[justa-hairyape]

They might have been forced to analysis each song for any secret messages. You know, play it backwards :>

[HiTech RedNeck]

The quantum computer is something that bears watching. It can perform huge parallel searches and could bring a goodly slice of real time conversations within its mechanical ken. What exists now, probably too cumbersome and clumsy to watch anything close to what they would like to watch.

[null and void]

What will we do with your hubby?

[HiTech RedNeck]

A midi. That’s the instrumental. There are no words to analyze.

[Salamander]

Or my mind-numbing back-and-forths about dog health/training/genetics/”look what cute thing Fluffy did today” blathering with my best girl friends.

;D

[although, if they track my ebay habits, they’re really gonna wonder about all that ‘leather and studs’ stuff I buy]

LOLOL

[HiTech RedNeck]

All will become Mormon???

[Salamander]

You’re right, we do.

And another place nobody suspects is “the phone company”.

[null and void]

It would be worth it...

[Salamander]

FYI, there’s one “local scary place” that, if I speak about it to anybody on the phone, the phone either goes totally crazy and fills with static or disconnects, without fail.

I kid you not.

[Salamander]

And while typing that, I broke a nail.

SEE?!?!

They’re omnipotent!

[Salamander]

Oh bloody hell.

I forgot about that part.

:-\

[HiTech RedNeck]

Another agency to watch: Google Voice.

I love it for its free phone calls. But Google also likes to spy, or at least would have a hard time resisting the temptation. For that reason, Xerox (at which I’m now working as a contractor in Germantown MD) doesn’t want its conference calls patched through Google Voice even though that would eliminate a phone bill to Xerox.

[Salamander]

“All will become Mormon???”

Aw, hell no.

They wear underwear.

[null and void]

*sigh* I was afraid of that.

[HiTech RedNeck]

I guess to have magic underwear, then underwear is necessary.

[Salamander]

I no longer use Google for anything.

They’re evil.

[null and void]

You’re doing that to me on purpose, aren’t you?

[Salamander]

Damn details get me every time.

[Salamander]

Nope.

I reckon it’s common knowledge, by now.

;D

[HiTech RedNeck]

The original “don’t be evil” company is, if not utterly evil, cowardly. For example, they want to free up homosexuals around the world to have their own special kind of whoopee. So what do they do. They don’t challenge any of the Islamic countries, do they? Where “brothers” who kiss can have a wall toppled on them in retribution? Oh no. They nag places like Singapore in which buggery is still considered a (lesser) offense. It’s not even enough to get them caned there.

[Salamander]

“I guess to have magic underwear, then underwear is necessary.”

I’m out.

[null and void]

If there was any question before, it’s resolved now...

[HiTech RedNeck]

Well no wonder you’re shivering at the thought of motorcycling in 60 degree weather. So would I if I wore nothing but naked leathers. That is why the good Lord created long johns.
