Ветераны АНБ

[tijd.livejournal.com]

Когда в 2015 канал RT праздновал своё десятилетие, среди десяти своих самых удачных интервью они назвали интервью 2012 г. с Биллом Бинни, бывшим сотрудником АНБ. Интервью озаглавлено "NSA Whistleblower: Everyone in US under virtual surveillance, all info stored, no matter the post". На YouTube у него более миллиона просмотров.

Билл Бинни действительно провёл много лет в АНБ, а в 2001 разругался с руководством и уволился, став whistleblower.

Binney spent most of his career at the agency. In 1997, he became the technical director of the World Geopolitical and Military Analysis Reporting Group, a division of six thousand employees which focusses on analyzing signals intelligence. By the late nineties, the N.S.A. had become overwhelmed by the amount of digital data it was collecting. Binney and his team began developing codes aimed at streamlining the process, allowing the agency to isolate useful intelligence. This was the beginning of ThinThread. <...> When Binney heard the rumors, he was convinced that the new domestic-surveillance program employed components of ThinThread: a bastardized version, stripped of privacy controls. “It was my brainchild,” he said. “But they removed the protections, the anonymization process. When you remove that, you can target anyone.” He said that although he was not “read in” to the new secret surveillance program, “my people were brought in, and they told me, ‘Can you believe they’re doing this? They’re getting billing records on U.S. citizens! They’re putting pen registers’ “—logs of dialled phone numbers—“ ‘on everyone in the country!’ “

За десять лет после своего увольнения Бинни окончательно рехнулся на идее, что правительство следит за всеми без разбору и что АНБ прослушивает и хранит копии всех емайлов, когда-либо кем-либо отправленных. После чего его радостно обнаружили на канале RT, где он стал предвестником Сноудена и засветился, как участник VIPS.



Бредни Трампа про то, как его прослушивал Обама, стали звездным часом для Бинни. Помимо RT его заметили в National Enquirer. А вчера он появился сразу на двух респектабельных программах - у Алекса Джонса в Infowars и у Такера Карлсона в прайм-тайм Fox News.

До этого он уже успел побывать гостем на радиопередаче другого популярного трампогандиста Fox News Шона Хэннити.

Не знаю, как правильно назвать явление, когда программа "Вести недели с Дмитрием Киселёвым", RT, National Enquirer, Infowars и Fox News сливаются в пропаганде теорий заговора про американские спецслужбы с целью затушевать заговор российских спецслужб. Возможно, историки будущего найдут этому подходящее название.



Между тем другой ветеран АНБ, Джон Шиндлер, дал интервью канадскому радио, в котором поделился интересными соображениями:

"I will tell you that I have friends very close to the investigation and what they've told me is there is a considerable amount of signals intelligence — that is, phone intercepts, travel tracking, that sort of thing — some human intelligence about meetings that have happened between Team Trump principals and prominent Russians."
"None of this information, by itself, is, as we say, a smoking gun or a slam dunk. But collectively they create an indelible impression of collusion last year between Team Trump and the Kremlin."
<...>
"Trump, by inclination, doubles down, triples down, quintuples down at every opportunity. "
"If, however, not just people around him, but the president himself is facing possible indictment down the road, that could be a game changer. He could be removed from office for that, whether he wants to be or not."
"But Paul Manafort wanting to testify indicates he knows that he's facing some very serious federal charges and wants to clear the air. It tells me that Trump's whole defense is one member of his inner circle away from turning state's evidence and spilling some beans and it starts to be all over."
"We're not there yet," Schindler says. "But I think that day's coming."

О связях Трампа с Кремлём Шиндлер писал ещё в августе прошлого года:

There’s a lot about Donald Trump’s ties to the Kremlin we don’t know, but what we do know is bad enough. His campaign is riddled at top levels by people with troubling connections to Moscow. His business dealings with Russia are not transparent. His casual mouthing of pro-Kremlin propaganda has become routine.
All this is why a lot of American intelligence officers view Donald Trump as a stalking horse, witting or not, for Vladimir Putin. Mike Morell simply said publicly what many veteran spies have been saying privately for a long time.
I know because I’m one of them. During my time in the counterintelligence business, the Trump Organization came up more than once in discussions of American businesses with cozy ties to Moscow. I’m not free to say more—I take my lifetime secrecy oath seriously—but it’s time the American people start to hear the truth.
