soon which will brighten the few new songs from phones to pressure the. need for stone totty dot com. hello again this is archie and he's a look at the headlines that shaved this week russia south is hated by deadliest ever glass but thousands of people from across the country join efforts to help those who lost everything. you out of service confirmed violent clashes between syrian forces and rebels in the village of transept but the findings opposition claims of a civilian massacre a question. of days about hysterically process in spain lead to dozens of injuries amid warnings there's the e.u.
6:31 am
strategy of bailing out buying said the people's expense but only if you have the. phone right now we talk with when actual security agency executive in the u.s. who sacrificed his career to blow the whistle on wrongdoing inside the n.s.a. . my guest today is thomas andrews drake he was a senior executive of america's biggest intelligence agency at the beginning of the two thousands he was an expert on elec tronic eavesdropping someone with top secret security clearance then mr drake essentially sekret feist his career to blow the whistle on his agency's wrongdoings as he saw them he was charged under the espionage act but only last year the charges were dropped is the drake thank you very much for coming thanks for having me tell me about the program that you challenge to working with the national security agency the surveillance program
6:32 am
what was its potential harm as you saw it there was the very large flagship program called trailblazer that was designed to catapult n.s.a. into the twenty first century to deal with the vast amounts of data being generated from the digital age given the massive fraud and abuse and it n.s.a. had created with the trial as a program as well as a super secret surveillance program they completely violated the constitution and the fourth amendment and in particular in particular the statute called the foreign intelligence surveillance act which was the first time i am at n.s.a. you did not violate americans privacy without a warrant under that statute in fact if you did they were criminal penalties for doing so and i found this out to my horror and shock shortly after nine eleven. the n.s.a. had entered into a secret agreement with the white house in which n.s.a. would become the executive agent for this sort of secret surveillance program on
6:33 am
the front end was designed to deal with the threat of the terrorist threat and that was for understandable but what it did is that actually essentially turn the united states into just a collection platform so you know vast reams of data were increasingly being collected or through other entities be made available to n.s.a. for analysis there's a lot of debate about this proposed legislation i'm sure you heard about it the system which will in the name of national security would allow web service providers to funnel private information of their users to the authorities to government agencies aren't they already doing that i mean many argue that providers you know google facebook and other companies they they need legislation to protect themselves from being liable for what they're already doing and that's why those companies who lobby for the bill well that's i believe that's part of it the other part of it is the government just wants even more access to even more data and so i
6:34 am
mean under the patriot act and section two fifteen there is a secret executive interpretation of that which essentially grants the government pretty much unfettered access to subscriber information that's held by those companies. since that would take out and there's other variants of that would take that to the next level you know under under the label or the rubric of you know cyber threats and to provide sort of cyber security the government wants even more invasive access almost persistent access to networks that are not normally available to the public and i understand the technology is so advanced now that it is probably so very tempting for intelligence agencies to siphon all that data but what is the goal is it total thirty and i believe if you take what has been happening since in time there are post nine. eleven security world what you're seeing is the establishment of a sort of surveillance society years your senior stablish of a surveillance network and i keeps telling people people realize the extent to
6:35 am
which we're already surveilled in many many different ways the extent to which vast amounts of our own transactional data in all forms all i try forms and e-mails and your tweets and bank records everything else are all subject for or sauce suspect ok in terms of terms of surveillance it raises the specter of kind of the rise of soft tyranny it raises the specter of you're automatically suspicious until you prove that you're not it raises the specter of a universal quality universal wiretap a persistent universal wiretap on every single person or if it not they can create one because what happens if they don't like you what happens you speak ill will against a government what happens if you say something they consider disloyal i mean that's not the country that i took an oath to defend four times in my government career and you also have the fear element fear in itself is control and what people will
6:36 am
do when they're fearful is they were they will begin to censor themselves so much of what's happening now particular my case it sent extraordinarily chilling message that anybody and i was a senior executive the government had a very high position and i say. it sends that extraordinarily chilling message that if you speak out if you speak up we're going to hammer you and we're going to hammer you hard because look what we did to mr drake nash security has effectively become the state religion you don't question it and if you question it then your loyalty is questioned i want to ask you about julian assange he's we can make cables expose the u.s. complicity in torture and other crimes how angry you think washington is that julian assange which i think they're extremely angry at the fact that there's apparently based on press reporting you know there's a secret grand jury there maybe even a secret indictment they want to get him. and they want to put him away i mean
6:37 am
there are those in this country very high levels to call for the death penalty. and sweden does not promise they they can't make a guarantee that if they did bring him back to sweep for questioning he would be extradited to the united states and believe me if the united states got its hands on him they're going to do everything they could to put him away as long as they can or worse this is a very long reach and far as is similar to what i went through i mean they it was a multi-year multimillion dollar criminal and nasty investigation that i got caught up inside of and they spent several years several years in my own particular case trying to figure out how to bring an indictment against me speaking truth to power is very dangerous in today's world power elites. those in charge they don't like dirty linen being aired they don't like the skeletons in the closet being seen. and they not only do they object to it they decide to turn it into criminal activity remember my will so baloney was criminalized by my own government
6:38 am
. i know i had no protection although ostensibly they couldn't reprise against me retaliate they did but i also find striking is that there is there's basically a smear campaign against journalists too for example a report on civilian deaths in u.s. drone strikes i read a number of articles where u.s. administration officials basically accuse them of helping terrorists and that label terrorist helper it seems that it's becoming a convenient tool to brush off investigative journalism isn't it what it is you go after the messenger and because the last you want to do is deal with the message you're talking about all the activities the secret surveillance the warrantless wiretapping torture rendition drone strikes and a whole host of other measures that i would assert are extra constitutional not to do they violate our own law also violate a number of international laws go after the messenger not the message because the
6:39 am
debris to actually discuss the message or to address the message becomes very uncomfortable. so essentially what's happened is that law which and we're a nation of laws the if we start to depart which we already have in a very significant moving away from that from being a nation of laws and simply leave it up to policy to substitute we're going down a very slippery slope and in the united states of america everybody's reporting on this fooling by race that the u.s. and its well allegedly developed to spy on iran and then there is the actual cyber weapon the stuxnet which created havoc in iran's nuclear facilities we hear u.s. officials condemn cyber attacks all the time but it turns out that the u.s. government itself is involved in cyber attacks how do you see it well based on what can only be authorized leaks which is an oxymoron coming from within the administration other senior officials they want people to know right i believe that's the case i think that somebody is has not been reported actually wanted
6:40 am
people to know i think some people say oh it's just war makes makes the administration look good you know sort of you know selling their oats and say hey we're we're the man here they want people to know they want to know what the united states is capable of doing it is a it is another form of warfare it is a you know it is a cyber weapon but it's a pandora's box because we're now in kind of uncharted territory it's virtual war to say it that way it's a virtual conflict i mean the pentagon itself has been on record that if a nation conducts what is allegedly being conducted by this country against other countries using things like stuxnet that's an act of war but apparently if we're doing it's not considered an act of war it's information operations or cyber operations so that goes it goes under a whole host of other labels to make it something different from what it really is . so where were the lines drawn i want to go back to you becoming a whistleblower you had a well paid job at
6:41 am
a couple's ishani america's biggest intelligence agency you turned it all down you went to work to an apple store i wonder how do you decide to go for something like that you can't put a price on freedom and i took an oath i mean my oath was to the constitution that took primacy over everything else so what do you do you're faced realising you're a whore that your own government is an abject violation of the very oath that you took the very constitution that you took an oath to defend support defend against all enemies foreign domestic faithfully executing that law and you're finding out in secret that your own government is in violation of it and then you know that was never necessary you knew that the best of american inventiveness and ingenuity could of not only provide superior intelligence like the thin thread program but would have done so in complete compliance with the fourth amendment and they tossed it overboard because they didn't want those controls they didn't want that
