Parallel Construction: how the US surveillance state can construct false evidence against any US citizen
NSA
Whistleblower, William Binney, spoke to Jimmy Dore about Parallel
Construction, an unconstitutional method used by the US agencies to
construct chargeable evidence against criminals. But the story does
not end there. As Binney revealed, the method was used against him
and managed to avoid charges because he had evidence in his hands
about the frame-up.
Binney
and his team became widely known when they exposed dirty secrets of
the intelligence community according to the documentary A
Good American.
As
Binney says:
There is
a program called parallel construction. It allows the NSA data to be
used for common crimes committed inside the country. We're doing it
in secret and we never tell you, we know it's a crime, that's why
we're keeping it secret from you.
They're
doing this regularly. The FBI and the Drug Enforcement Administration
including the IRS is a part of this and they're all looking at this
NSA data to find common crime. Once they find common crime in the NSA
data they tip off local and state police to go arrest these people,
they don't give them the evidence. They say go arrest them, bring the
drug dogs and find the drugs.
Then, in
order to justify the arrest, what they do is called a parallel
construction, and this is policy run by the Department of Justice of
the United States. They say OK, we know these guys were criminals we
had in the NSA data, but you can't use that data in a court of law
because it wasn't acquired with a warrant, it's not admissible. So,
we have to go find the same similar kind of data, since we know it is
easier, and we send the police out to do our own little
investigation, assemble that evidence and say OK, now we're gonna
substitute this evidence for the NSA data in the court of law.
We put
hundreds of people in jail every year with this program. That's
thousands of people in jail based on perjury by the Department of
Justice of the United States and that's been going on since 9/11.
When
Reuters reported this, they interviewed one of the federal agents
involved in the program. He said 'this is such a great program I just
hope we can keep it secret'. This is destroying our judicial system.
They're talking about doing something about it now because it's being
used against the politicians in Washington. That's the only reason
they are talking about it.
As Dore
points out, people go 'I don't care if the government reads my email,
if they catch a criminal, who cares'. Well let's say you caught the
government committing a crime and they knew it, and now they know
that you know it because they're spying on you. They can now smear
you, or arrest you, or charge you with something.
And
Binney reveals:
That's
what they did to us. They made up information. The only difference is
I caught them at it, so I threatened them with malicious prosecution.
If I didn't have that evidence against them, and I gave them the
evidence so they knew I had the goods on them, so they backed off,
that's the only reason they did that. Somebody from the Department of
Justice felt so bad about what they were doing to us, they sent us a
copy of their draft indictment on us, and so, that even gave us more
evidence of their lying and perjury in an affidavit going to the
court. That's a felony.
