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) was destroying privacy here and around the world. Binney voices his call to action for the billions of individuals whose rights are currently being violated.
