William Binney is one of
the highest-level
whistleblowers to ever
emerge from the NSA. He was a
leading code-breaker against
the Soviet Union during the
Cold War but resigned soon
after September 11, disgusted
by Washington’s move towards
mass surveillance.
On 5 July he spoke at a
conference in London
organised by the Centre for
Investigative Journalism and
revealed the extent of the
surveillance programs
unleashed by the Bush and
Obama administrations.
“At least 80% of fibre-optic
cables globally go via the US”,
Binney said. “This is no
accident and allows the US to
view all communication coming
in. At least 80% of all audio
calls, not just metadata, are
recorded and stored in the US.
The NSA lies about what it
stores.”
The NSA will soon be able to
collect 966 exabytes a year, the
total of internet traffic
annually. Former Google head
Eric Schmidt once argued that
the entire amount of knowledge
from the beginning of
humankind until 2003 amount
to only five exabytes.
Binney, who featured in a 2012
short film by Oscar-nominated
US film-maker Laura Poitras,
described a future where
surveillance is ubiquitous and
government intrusion
unlimited.
“The ultimate goal of the NSA
is total population control”,
Binney said, “but I’m a little
optimistic with some recent
Supreme Court decisions, such
as law enforcement mostly now
needing a warrant before
searching a smartphone.”
He praised the revelations and
bravery of former NSA
contractor Edward Snowden
and told me that he had
indirect contact with a number
of other NSA employees who
felt disgusted with the agency’s
work. They’re keen to speak
out but fear retribution and
exile, not unlike Snowden
himself, who is likely to remain
there for some time .
Unlike Snowden, Binney didn’t
take any documents with him
when he left the NSA. He now
says that hard evidence of
illegal spying would have been
invaluable. The latest Snowden
leaks, featured in the
Washington Post, detail private
conversations of average
Americans with no connection
to extremism.
It shows that the NSA is not
just pursuing terrorism, as it
claims, but ordinary citizens
going about their daily
communications. “The NSA is
mass-collecting on everyone”,
Binney said, “and it’s said to
be about terrorism but inside
the US it has stopped zero
attacks.”
The lack of official oversight is
one of Binney’s key concerns,
particularly of the secret
Foreign Intelligence
Surveillance Court (Fisa),
which is held out by NSA
defenders as a sign of the
surveillance scheme's
constitutionality.
“The Fisa court has only the
government’s point of view”,
he argued. “There are no other
views for the judges to
consider. There have been at
least 15-20 trillion
constitutional violations for US
domestic audiences and you
can double that globally.”
A Fisa court in 2010 allowed
the NSA to spy on 193
countries around the world,
plus the World Bank, though
there’s evidence that even the
nations the US isn’t supposed
to monitor – Five Eyes allies
Britain, Canada, Australia and
New Zealand – aren’t immune
from being spied on. It’s why
encryption is today so essential
to transmit information safely.
Binney recently told the
German NSA inquiry committee
that his former employer had a
“totalitarian mentality” that
was the "greatest threat" to US
society since that country’s US
Civil War in the 19th century.
Despite this remarkable power,
Binney still mocked the NSA’s
failures, including missing this
year’s Russian intervention in
Ukraine and the Islamic State’s
take-over of Iraq.
The era of mass surveillance
has gone from the fringes of
public debate to the
mainstream, where it belongs.
The Pew Research Centre
released a report this month,
Digital Life in 2025 , that
predicted worsening state
control and censorship,
reduced public trust, and
increased commercialisation of
every aspect of web culture.
It’s not just internet experts
warning about the internet’s
colonisation by state and
corporate power. One of
Europe’s leading web creators,
Lena Thiele, presented her
stunning series Netwars in
London on the threat of cyber
warfare. She showed how easy
it is for governments and
corporations to capture our
personal information without
us even realising.
Thiele said that the US budget
for cyber security was US$67
billion in 2013 and will double
by 2016. Much of this money is
wasted and doesn't protect
online infrastructure. This fact
doesn’t worry the
multinationals making a killing
from the gross exaggeration of
fear that permeates the public
domain.
Wikileaks understands this
reality better than most.
Founder Julian Assange and
investigative editor Sarah
Harrison both remain in legal
limbo. I spent time with
Assange in his current home at
the Ecuadorian embassy in
London last week, where he
continues to work, release
leaks, and fight various legal
battles. He hopes to resolve his
predicament soon.
At the Centre for Investigative
Journalism conference,
Harrison stressed the
importance of journalists who
work with technologists to best
report the NSA stories. “It’s no
accident”, she said, “that some
of the best stories on the NSA
are in Germany, where there’s
technical assistance from
people like Jacob Appelbaum.”
A core Wikileaks belief, she
stressed, is releasing all
documents in their entirety,
something the group criticised
the news site The Intercept for
not doing on a recent story.
“The full archive should
always be published”, Harrison
said.
With 8m documents on its
website after years of leaking,
the importance of publishing
and maintaining source
documents for the media,
general public and court cases
can’t be under-estimated. “I
see Wikileaks as a library”,
Assange said. “We’re the
librarians who can’t say no.”
With evidence that there could
be a second NSA leaker, the
time for more aggressive
reporting is now. As Binney
said: “I call people who are
covering up NSA crimes
traitors”.

Ibn Umar said that Allah's Messenger said:"Each of you is a guardian, and each of you will be asked about your guardianship. The leader is a guardian, and the man is a guardian over the people of his house,and the woman is a guardian over her husband's house and children .So each of you is a guardian, and each of you will be asked about your guardianship."

ferdimako: haha

Students' Counsellor,answer am nah!

cbrass: Don't mid those people, they don't think twice before starting war, do they think they can divide the southwest based on religion? That's big NO...this is an attack on Odua period!

I wondered how they think in this state, if you may recall,their governor retrenched non-abians some time ago...remember 486 alleged BHs... I think with all these,they are calling for civil war... I just pray they should avoid this with their doings!!!
GOD BLESS AND LONG LIVE NIGERIA!!!!

cbrass: Ahahah...u make me laff I won't argue with you anyway, when the chips are down nobody will remember you guys where chasing away muslims, the southwest will generaly see it as an attack on the yorubas, better think twice now

Definitely, that's it bros!!!!

simpleseyi: So, you have started urinating in you pants. Please tell the SSS and the army to go to North-East where boko-haram is using them for suya. Bring your head here and see if it will be on your neck the next minute.

pls,tell them ooo....if there's now counter-reaction from south western Nigeria due to their actions, they ll say ones are terrorist s whereas they are the ones that stated it....I just hope Nigeria is not dancing to the tune of CIA as regards 2015!!!!

Galads: I have being following this thread from beginning, I laugh at some post, pity some people on others. I am not here to discourage anybody but most people need to go back and think about what they really want.anything that has to do with the military and carrying of arms isn't a childs play. Don't because of unemployment put yourself in a situation you can't handle later. I don't know much about the sss but I sure know it entails every blood in you and at this point where Nigeria is faced with security challenges the sss most also play a very important role. Firstly, forget about family because you won't even have time for them. I heard even your wife, they will choose for you.
To get information from your enemy, you most dine withh the enemy. Some people will be opportuned to be in the office while others will go to field. Field work is the most difficult aspect of a job because your gona meet with different people thinking differently. Imagine yoursef as a spy among the boko haram boys and you are caught? I will advice all aplicant to just put this in God's hand. If it is his will for me to be there, let him make a way. If it isn't his will, I shouldn't even be invited for the test. Its better I work as a teacher for 10years than work as an officer and die after 1 or 2years of service so let God choose for you.

What a well-written one from u, I love it!!!!

[quote author=professorgome][/quote]Is Ferdie also a female?besides I saw your post in *** tread,do u still want to go ahead with it because I had dropped my own aspiration for it due to some reasons....I hope u r physically and mentally ready for the task ahead!!!!!!

4reigningqueen: here we go again with trouble makers and english teachers. Only that this time, they aint females!

they weren't female

optimiza: its funy.
we are talking of intelligent officer- an arm of d nigerian army secret service. b4 u mak any move, evaluate ursef cos its risky. u ar on arms all d time. if u ar stationed to any gov or minister, u gona put ur life on the line.

not just b4 there ar no jobs, or u aware d salary is somwher around 100k u jst pick up any career. the many months training is equivalent to training in d military. u gona use armoured riffle and other isreali asorted pistol.

if ya a commisioned field agent ie if u survive d training, u enta into criminal den unsolicitin info whom ar mostly recognizd by criminals un each state. the job is profesional dat demands ur physical n mental alertness.

mi litle experienc is awesom. at a gate is bare open field wher u stand upright frm morning til dusk under d sun. its far fiercer dan nysc but typical of militart

u cannot rule out conection in govt jobs buh merit also play a role here cos its demanding.dnt lie abt ur age or anytin cos de wil knw. discipline is ur entire life

dis piece is nt to discourage u buh to enabl u evaluate wats involvd.
finally mak sure u consult ur family to see if de lik it.
tak my ADVICE lightly cos SS is evrywher including nairaland.

Thanks bro for this message...is it possible to leave them some years after joining and continue pursuing your career!!
