Unclassified Foreknowledge: Richard Grove & William Binney on Open-Source 9/11 Signals and the Patriot Act
Published 3Â days, 14Â hours ago
Description
What if the 9/11 attack date was sitting right in front of intelligence agencies in unclassified, open-source data long before the towers fell? 🛑
In this eye-opening interview clip, Richard Grove asks former NSA Technical Director William Binney about the unclassified intelligence available prior to September 11th. Binney reveals that open-source communications had already laid out the attack date, leaving CIA officials stunned when shown that the data was accessible without top-secret clearance.
Their interview conversation exposes how bureaucratic rivalries prevented this data from reaching field agents. Binney explains to Richard that instead of fixing these fatal communication silos, the intelligence community leveraged the aftermath to pass the USA Patriot Act—effectively granting agencies a long-prepared wishlist of sweeping bulk collection powers.
