(Mar. 26, 2017) — In a 23-minute interview with Alex Jones of Infowars on Saturday, former NSA program “architect” William Binney described its current far-reaching data-collection on U.S. citizens as violating both constitutional and “human rights.”
Binney resigned from the agency in 2001 after he became alarmed at the far-reaching surveillance of Americans he said had become standard among U.S. government agencies in the wake of the 9-11 attacks.
His remarks begin at 3:45 with a response to Jones’s first question and reference to the “Stellar Wind” program which he said was in use by the NSA in 2004.
Binney said that at that time, now-FBI Director James Comey had wanted to end Stellar Wind.
“Everything is there for — against everybody in the country,” Binney said of the NSA’s repository of data. “President Trump, all the judges on the Supreme Court, all the members of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, all the members of Congress; it’s all there…,” he said.
He said that specific personal data requires only a request to be retrieved and that Trump has been a “target for quite some time; at least that’s what appears to me to be the case.”
