NSA Whistleblower: Mass Surveillance Threatens Free Market Capitalism

William Binney warns government snooping will lead to stagnation of society

NSA whistleblower William Binney warns in a new exclusive Infowars interview that capitalism itself is under threat as a result of the fear and stagnation that is being generated by mass government surveillance.

Binney, a legendary NSA mathematician, developed much of the revolutionary logic and architecture that is now used to spy on everybody in the world. When the NSA decided to use his programs on U.S. citizens he became one of the biggest whistleblowers in the history of the federal agency.

During the interview, Binney emphasized one of the most important but often overlooked consequences of mass snooping – that the mere fear of potentially being under surveillance alters the behavior of the population, restricting expression and free market innovation.

“Just the effect that people are being surveilled inhibits their ability or feeling that they have the opportunity to do new and creative and innovative things, so that kind of reduces their risk taking, which in turn means you get less and less creativity and innovation and more and more stagnation of civilization,” said Binney.

“That’s what happened in the Soviet Union, that’s what happened in East Germany and the Communist bloc – they stagnated because people were being so surveilled….it made people afraid to take a risk – that’s really the point of capitalism and that’s why it’s been so successful because it was advocating people taking risks,” added Binney, noting that if people were not active participants in society then a totalitarian form of government would inevitably arise.

“What you think is totally irrelavant,” warned Binney, pointing out that the government will decide what constitutes suspicious activity when it comes to placing a person under blanket surveillance.

Binney, who was raided by the FBI at gunpoint in response to blowing the whistle, dropped a bombshell in 2012 when he revealed that the NSA was storing all electronic communications and analyzing them in real time.

During a sworn declaration to the United States District Court for the Northern District of California, Binney said that the federal agency, “has the capability to do individualized searches, similar to Google, for particular electronic communications in real time through such criteria as target addresses, locations, countries and phone numbers, as well as watch-listed names, keywords, and phrases in email.”

In the Infowars interview, Binney also revealed how he and Thomas Drake had crafted a program that would have stopped the 9/11 attacks, but that it was killed by the NSA because it wasn’t deemed expensive enough and was subsequently replaced with a more lucrative but ineffective program.

“They had a whole host of contractors that wanted to feed on all that money, and if you took the program we did and deployed it, it would already solve the problem,” said Binney. “You can’t go to Congress asking for money for a problem you’ve already solved so they had to kill the solution to say we have a problem so they could justify getting the money – and that’s exactly what they did,” added Binney.

CA SB277 ON VACCINES MOVES TOWARD DISASTROUS PASSAGE

Bill277 eliminates the personal belief and religious exemptions from vaccination

California Senate Bill 277 has passed through the Judiciary Committee, and needs another Committee’s rubber stamp before it arrives on the Senate floor for debate—and what looks like a ride into law.

Governor Brown will sign the Bill. Brown has become a standard fool. He’s worn out. Whatever interesting ideas he may have entertained in his former “moonbeam” incarnation are gone in the wind.

Bill277 eliminates the personal belief and religious exemptions from vaccination. It also states that children cannot attend public or private school unless they are vaccinated according to the State’s schedule.

Medical exemptions are still allowed, but these won’t be easy to come by, because physicians who grant them will be scrutinized and harassed.

In Committee, before the vote, the Bill was changed to offer two compromises. Personal belief exemptions will be permitted for all future vaccines, beyond the current 10 mandated shots. And children who are now in school will be allowed to forego vaccination (with some limitations).

Eventually, in years to come, you can expect these two “gifts” to be rescinded.

All in all, personal freedom and choice are gone.

Vaccine manufacturers are popping the champagne corks.

For those California parents who are looking for a way out, there is home-schooling. But you can be sure that, at some point up the road, those children will be falsely blamed for “an outbreak,” and pressure will build to force them to take shots.

This Bill is going to become law, unless there is huge uprising of parents between now and the final legislative vote.

Seen in a larger context, the Bill is one element in a thousand-element program that standardly proclaims: if you want security and protection, you must give up your freedom.

Of course, as I’ve pointed out before, this program always overstates the threat from which one needs protection. In fact, quite often, the same agents of the State who offer that protection manufactured the threat in the first place.

In the case of vaccines, the preposterous notion that vaccinated children (who are purported to be immune) need shielding from unvaccinated children is a contradiction on its face.

So is the idea that children who live in poverty, lack nutritious food, and consequently function on grossly weakened immune systems can gain substitute-protection via vaccines. The reverse is true: vaccinations attack their already-compromised level of health.

In any event, parents seeking their own information about vaccines becomes a useless fantasy under this new California Bill. Everything is decided for them by the State.

In case you want to place all the blame on Big Pharma and its undue influence, keep in mind that government is where the buck is supposed to stop. This is the place where officials can say no if they want to.

Letting them off the hook as helpless victims of corporate power is absurd. They aren’t helpless. They go to the slaughter willingly. Sometimes, with deeper pockets.

Vaccination=protection is the equation that has been shoved down the throats of the population. And to back it up, we have the ever-popular, “This is science. Only crazy people oppose science.”

Ever since 9/11, protection has risen as the most important government theme: “Let us protect you, let us do our jobs, keep your mouths shut and everything will turn out well.”

People buy it. Their minds are vacuums, and they need something to fill it. Might as well be “protection.” Seems important. Seems right.

Seems like the sort of thing a parent is supposed to provide.

“Yes, I remember as a child that Daddy told me (or I wish he had) that everything would be all right. When the government tells me that now, it feels good.”

So does an endless supply of tranquilizers. Until it doesn’t.

Until the brain turns to mush.

California Drought Update by HAARP Report

By HAARP Report
It's time to start taking these video reports seriously. This video shows a low pressure system being destroyed on April 25, 2015. This system, like so many before it, probably would have brought heavy rains to California, but now we'll never know. This is more evidence of California's drought being manufactured and that it's having a cascading effect on the rest of North America's weather.

Federal Government Ordered to Explain Why it Needs a Cell Phone Kill Switch

By Carey Wedler
Monday is the court-ordered deadline for the government to explain a secretive policy that allows it to use a “kill switch” on cell phone service among the population. The policy, adopted by the Department of Homeland Security in 2005, is called Standard Operating Procedure 303 and allows
…for the orderly shut-down and restoration of wireless services during critical emergencies such as the threat of radio-activated improvised explosive devices.
It allows the government to cut service “within a localized area, such as a tunnel or bridge, and within an entire metropolitan area.” The policy comes with a murky, questionable history.
The implementation of the policy was a reaction to the 2005 London subway bombing and was deemed necessary for national security. In 2005, all cell service in New York’s Hudson Tunnel was cut off for two weeks—a move that by the DHS’s own admission created
disorder for both Government and the private sector at a time when use of the communications infrastructure was most needed.

Due to the secrecy surrounding the policy, there is no concrete documentation to suggest that SOP 303 has been used to cut cell service. In 2011, however, all cell phone communication was cut on San Francisco’s BART (Bay Area Rapid Transit). This was done to disrupt a protest against a violent police officer who killed a homeless man. That same year, the White House claimed that the government had the right to
control private communications systems in the United States during times of war or other national emergencies.
In an effort to learn more about the justification for the BART shut down, the Electronic Privacy Information Center filed a FOIA request with DHS in July of 2012. DHS claimed it could not find any relevant documentation, leading EPIC to file a FOIA lawsuit. A lower federal court found the agency insufficiently complied with the request. By February of 2015, however, a higher court sided with a DHS appeal and ruled that
the [DHS] permissibly withheld much, if not all of SOP 303, because its release…could reasonably be expected to endanger individuals’ lives or physical safety . . . .
In spite of the federal government’s aggressive attempts to keep this information secret, EPIC filed a request last month for the court to revisit its decision, arguing that “if left in place, [it] would create an untethered ‘national security’ exemption.” This time, the court gave the government until this Monday, April 27, to explain the details of its policy, including under what conditions it may be implemented.
Alan Butler, a lawyer for EPIC, explained plainly that,
We’re not asking for detailed information about how [SOP 303] works … but about the rationale and the policy guidelines.
The push toward a “kill switch” has been building for years (and predates cell phones and the Internet). In July of 2012, Obama signed an Executive Order that “granted the authority to seize private facilities when necessary, effectively shutting down or limiting civilian communications.” In 2010, a Senate Subcommittee on “Homeland Security” approved a kill-switch for the Internet and in 2014, the House of Representatives introduced a cell phone kill switch bill in the name of preventing smartphone theft. In August of that same year, California Governor Jerry Brown signed a bill requiring all smart phones made after July 2015 to have a built in kill switch. The bill has been criticized for granting dangerous power to both law enforcement and hackers.
The use of a kill switch has also been lambasted for what some view as an inability to prevent terrorist attacks. In fact, previous terror attacks have relied not on cellular communication, but merely on an alarm clock built into a phone — which would be unaffected by the use of a kill switch.
The dangers of granting such broad authority to government seem not only abundant, but obvious. As seen in the 2011 BART instance, the state is more than willing to dismantle communication for reasons beyond national security. The power to disrupt the citizens’ right to organize protests against state action is an unconscionable effort to control the population and silence dissent. That the government is so resistant to explain this power is reason enough to distrust it.
As Howard Feld, Senior Vice President of Public Knowledge, a public advocacy group, pointed out,
Understanding a policy should not compromise national security.
The DHS stubbornly disagreed. Asked to explain the decision to withhold basic procedural information from the public on the program, it responded only with,
We have no comment on this.
Although the court-mandated deadline has come and gone — as of midnight yesterday — without a response from the government, this story will be updated when and if they ever decide to offer an explanation for the shrouded policy.
