The Bush Administration's holy grail of "
Total Information Awareness," which suffered a setback when Congress pulled funding in 2003, has finally been realised under the Obama Regime.
Wired Magazine reports:
"
The NSA Is Building The Country's Biggest Spy Center (Watch What You Say)"
"The NSA has become the largest, most covert, and potentially intrusive ever."
In Utah the NSA is constructing bottomless digital storage files, where they can store every email, blog, tweet, SMS/text message, or digitised phone call made. This vast data pile will retain the data indefinitely, to be scoured by super fast computers in real time, and also years later.
It will shortly be a reality for everyone at all times, not just those under arrest... anything you say can and presumably will be used against you.
Here is some further in-depth analysis from
Democracy Now!
We speak with investigative reporter James Bamford, who says that the NSA has established listening posts throughout the nation to collect and sift through billions of email messages and phone calls, whether they originate within the country or overseas.
The Utah spy centre will contain near-bottomless databases to store all forms of communication collected by the agency. This included the complete contents of private emails, cell phone calls and google searches, as well as all sorts of personal data trails - parking receipts, trade itineraries, bookstore purchases and other digital "pocket litter."
All of this reminds us of President Eisenhower's prophetic warning at the close of his term...
