7.4 / 10

A Good American tells the story of the best code-breaker the USA ever had and how he and a small team within NSA created a surveillance tool that could pick up any electronic signal on earth, filter it for targets and render results in real-time while keeping the privacy as demanded by the US constitution. The tool was perfect - except for one thing: it was way too cheap. Therefor NSA leadership, who had fallen into the hands of industry, dumped it - three weeks prior to 9/11. In a secret test-run of the program against the pre-9/11-NSA database in early 2002 the program immediately found the terrorists. This is the story of former Technical director of NSA, Bill Binney, and a program called ThinThread.

Yes, it is amazing that Trump has the info and nothing happens. Binney is still alive because he is maintaining the story that it was that real planes and real hijacked and this was not an inside job. He is smart enough to know that and also smart enough not to talk about it. I watch several movies and listen to his talks but will not discuss that it was an inside job and the whole thing as a magic trick. That is why he is still alive....He has give the public enough to force a real investigation and a discover of what really happened. There plan worked as planned, it was not a failure, they just didn't know they had an inside guy that wasn't on the payroll but he got the message. - @Sunday, November 18, 2018 9:13 PM

Sure...Thinthread would have prevented "THAT SPECIFIC" 9/11.....but not the next one. WE CREATED THE TERRORISTS AND UNTIL WE STOP CREATING TERRORISTS, THERE WILL BE MORE 9/11's - @Wednesday, November 14, 2018 1:40 PM

Sad...its amazing how something so so beautiful that Turing, Noyce, Blank, Grinich, Kleiner, Last, Moore, Roberts and Hoerni, Gates, Woz, Jobs (among others) invented and how its used so, so poorly, covertly, scary and deadly. - @Tuesday, November 13, 2018 8:14 PM

Capitalism motivated the terrorists and capitalism allowed their attack to be successful, but we still cannot question capitalism because it is indoctrinated into the people as the religions it is. - @Monday, August 27, 2018 8:30 AM

The Mossad and our intel agencies helped make 9/11 happen. It wasn't an accident that real intel was taken out before Bush Jr. was placed in the presidency or that Maureen Baginski thought it was a financial gift: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-QMLO558gec https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-W6LdB24-wU - @Wednesday, August 22, 2018 11:59 PM

The reason Trailblazer was chosen instead of ThinThread is that you can feed people personalized ads with the personal information gained through Trailblazer, making corporations billions of dollars. ThinThread is not good for that. - @Thursday, July 19, 2018 8:08 PM

I don't know if I should spend the time to watch this, if it doesn't implicate the corporation of United States, Israeli and Saudi as pulling off 9/11, each with their own participation, it just doesn't seem worth watching. - @Thursday, May 17, 2018 8:10 PM

They took an effective program for our nation's security and replaced it with total surveillance of American citizens. That should alarm all Americans that we could have found the 911 attackers in advance of the attack without the breech of our freedoms. - @Thursday, April 5, 2018 7:37 AM

All humans should see this. See what your governments are capable of in this day and age. Every single tax dollar they demand, we give up, is used for nefarious purposes. Enough is enough! Data collection on US citizens and warrantless searches is unconstitutional, to say the very least. Our government does not fear its people and that is a problem. - @Friday, January 26, 2018 5:34 PM
