> Abstract:
> A GOOD AMERICAN
>
> „A Good American“ is a gripping docu-thriller about a groundbreaking
surveillance program, the brilliant mastermind behind it and how this
perfect alternative to mass surveillance was killed by NSA-management for
money – three weeks prior to 9/11.
>
> Bill Binney was a brilliant cryptologist and long-time National Security
Agency (NSA) analyst, since 1997 serving as Technical Director. Binney
developed a sophisticated program named ThinThread for gathering data
capable of providing clues, in real-time, of potential terrorist
activities. Built-in safeguards would have prevented the massive
surveillance methods later exposed by Edward Snowden. Why was this program
killed off? And who was behind that?
>
> Friedrich Moser’s eye-opening and deeply disturbing documentary tells the
complete story of William Binney and those, both inside the NSA and out,
who backed ThinThread. A program that gathered data, lawfully, effectively,
and more inexpensively, than the now discredited programs pursued by the US
and EU governments. It’s also a chilling account of those willing to go on
the record and what happened to them when they tried to expose the truth.
Could ThinThread have prevented 9/11? Very likely, as a test-run has shown,
whose results are still classified to this day – and equally other terror
attacks from the Madrid bombing, to the London Tube bombing to the recent
Paris and Brussels Attacks.
