(Jun. 25, 2019) — On June 7, 2019, Dr. Dave Janda of “Operation Freedom” hosted former NSA Technical Director William Binney and former Senior Analyst J. Kirk Wiebe to discuss the existence of “parallel platforms” used by the U.S. intelligence community to harvest personal information on Americans without a warrant.
At the opening of the show, Janda introduced Binney and Wiebe as “legends in the world of [the] National Security Agency and in surveillance platforms.” Both resigned from the agency in 2001 as “whistleblowers,” Janda said, and as has been reported by the Government Accountability Project (GAP) and other outlets. Janda stated that their resignations were tendered because “NSA platforms were being illegally used to monitor American citizens’ phone calls, emails, internet activities, financial transactions.”

Part 2: “THIS IS MANUFACTURED”
by Sharon Rondeau
(Jun. 27, 2019) — Part 1 of this title focused on a June 7, 2019 interview conducted between former NSA officials William Binney and J. Kirk Wiebe and “Operation Freedom,” hosted by Dr. Dave Janda, in which the two whistleblowers said that former NSA and CIA contractor Dennis Montgomery may possess information about government surveillance worthy of investigation.
The interview was notable in that Wiebe and a former colleague, Thomas Drake, signed a November 13, 2014 analysis summary directed to the Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office (MCSO) with the finding that Montgomery was “a complete and total FRAUD” as a result of their having analyzed data on nearly four dozen hard drives provided through Sheriff’s Office liaisons Mike Zullo and Det. Brian Mackiewicz.

Part3: MIKE ZULLO: DESPITE PITFALLS, MONTGOMERY “HAS A STORY TO TELL”
by Sharon Rondeau
(Jun. 28, 2019) — In Part 1 of this series, The Post & Email presented an overview of a YouTube broadcast by Dr. Dave Janda with guests J. Kirk Wiebe and William Binney, both former NSA officials who resigned from the agency in 2001 with the troubling finding that government surveillance of average Americans was routinely violating Fourth Amendment rights.
Along with several others, both became whistleblowers detailing the enormous expense the NSA incurred in launching “Trailblazer,” a tracking program which replaced the less invasive “ThinThread.”

Part 4: MIKE ZULLO TELLS THE WHOLE STORY
(Jun. 29, 2019) — On Friday, Mike Zullo, who supervised a project for approximately a year for the Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office (MCSO) involving then-confidential informant Dennis Montgomery, was the sole guest on the two-hour “Freedom Friday” show hosted by Carl Gallups on WEBY.

(Jun. 29, 2019) — On Friday, Mike Zullo, who supervised a project for approximately a year for the Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office (MCSO) involving then-confidential informant Dennis Montgomery, was the sole guest on the two-hour “Freedom Friday” show hosted by Carl Gallups on WEBY.
During Friday’s interview, Zullo said that information Montgomery provided to the sheriff’s office in 2013 “is happening today.”
As detailed in a three-part series released last week under this title, Zullo stressed that while information Montgomery provided on 47 high-capacity hard drives were found by seasoned analysts to have little or no value, Montgomery had provided data on separate thumb drives which ultimately appeared to show bank-account breaches on a mass scale committed against Maricopa County residents.
