A 36-year veteran of
America’s Intelligence Community, William
Binney resigned from his position as
Director for Global Communications
Intelligence (COMINT) at the National
Security Agency (NSA) and blew the whistle,
after discovering that his efforts to
protect the privacy and security of
Americans were being undermined by those
above him in the chain of command.
The NSA data-monitoring program which Binney
and his team had developed -- codenamed
ThinThread -- was being aimed not at foreign
targets as intended, but at Americans
(codenamed as Stellar Wind); destroying
privacy here and around the world. Binney
voices his call to action for the billions
of individuals whose rights are currently
being violated.
William Binney speaks out in this
feature-length interview with Tragedy and
Hope's Richard Grove, focused on the topic
of the ever-growing Surveillance State in
America.
On January 22, 2015: (Berlin, Germany) – The
Government Accountability Project (GAP) is
proud to announce that retired NSA Technical
Director and GAP client, William "Bill"
Binney, will accept the Sam Adams Associates
for Integrity in Intelligence Award today in
Berlin, Germany. The award is presented
annually by the Sam Adams Associates for
Integrity in Intelligence (SAAII) to a
professional who has taken a strong stand
for ethics and integrity.
