‘Nearly all US citizens under surveillance’

A US intelligence agency whistleblower has revealed that the American government keeps track of the emails of nearly every American citizen, including US lawmakers, and can use the information against anyone it desires.

Former National Security Agency (NSA) analyst William Binney said in a Tuesday interview with Russia Today that the American domestic law enforcement and intelligence agency, the FBI, has massive access to such data due to a powerful device called Naris.
According to the report, Binney was “one of the best mathematicians and code breakers in NSA history” that resigned in 2001 “because he no longer wanted to be associated with violations of the US constitution.”
The former NSA officer says the FBI has access to “basically the emails of virtually everybody in the country,” including all members of the US Congress. He insists “No one is excluded.”
Binney further emphasized that FBI does not filter the email messages but collects and stores all email messages and when a person becomes a target, his or her entire email records are pulled out and sifted through for the desired information.
The intelligence analyst also said that email surveillance by the US government is “getting worse” under President Barack Obama, who backed the building of an enormous data storage facility in Bluffdale, Utah, spending “over two billion dollars” on “storage room for data, which means they are collecting a lot more now and need more storage for it.”
