NSA whistleblower claims NSA's aim is 'total population control'

Via RT:

“At least 80 percent of fiber-optic cables globally go via the US. This is no accident and allows the US to view all communication coming in. At least 80 percent of all audio calls, not just metadata, are recorded and stored in the US. The NSA lies about what it stores.” Former NSA technical director William Binney

The article notes that Mr. Binney cannot prove these allegations because he didn't heist any documents. But, of course, he praises Edward Snowden and cites the documents released by Snowden as evidence that the NSA's surveillance efforts far exceed those previously claimed by the agency.
