The spooks are all cowards. Sunlight is the solution to these things.” ~ William E. Binney

By Catherine Austin Fitts

Retired senior NSA intelligence officer William (“Bill”) E. Binney joins me on the Solari Report this week.

Every day we hear that technology is the cause of ever-greater inequality of wealth. But how exactly does this happen? In fact, the inequality starts with tax dollars funding government and private contractors, who enjoy the world’s most expensive satellite and digital communications and information systems to collect and store your private information. As Binney says, “The ultimate goal of the NSA is total population control.” In short, American citizens are authorizing and paying NSA and the syndicate of private corporations they fund to control you and to profit at your expense.

In October 2001, concerned about the constitutionality of NSA policies and programs, Binney retired after a highly successful 30-year career with NSA. Binney has been described by some of his colleagues as one of the best analysts in the NSA history. As told in the documentary A Good American, Binney built “ThinThread” – a cost-effective surveillance system that protected Americans privacy, only to see ThinThread passed over by agency political appointees for a much more expensive, less effective system of bulk acquisition of data run by private contractors.

Since leaving his position as an NSA intelligence office, Binney has educated, litigated, and tirelessly worked to return the United States and its allies to effective, Constitutional surveillance policies.

We will discuss Bill’s efforts as described in our choice this week for Let’s Go to the Movies — Frederich Moser’s excellent documentaries A Good American and The Maze.

Bill will review current events including allegations regarding the DNC hacking, Russian interference in the 2016 Presidential campaign, and leaks during the campaign and from the White House.

When you finish listening to Bill Binney, one thing you will understand clearly is that the current US Government bulk acquisition and storage of data on all of us has nothing to do with protecting America from “bad guys.” You will also understand why the Internet of Things (IOT) is such a dangerous idea in the current system and why the cybersecurity scare may just be the next big scam.

Indeed, things are so bad that some Congressman are finally talking about pulling the plug on bulk acquisition. Rather than wait for Congress, Binney has some terrific proposals for what we can do to protect our privacy and power shift our situation.

If you want to understand why the President of the United States cannot make a phone call without excerpts or even whole transcripts showing up in the media and how to do something about it – this is one interview you do not want to miss.

Finally, if you want to be inspired by one of the most intelligent and courageous men in America – you absolutely want to listen to this interview.

This is the last week of the month – so no Money & Markets. I am headed from Hong Kong to Bangladesh today and then on to San Francisco the following week as we publish our 2nd Quarter Wrap Up and our next Money & Markets.
