GLOBAL BLACKMAIL with Wall Street Involved.

Hoover could only do it in the USA to go against Congress Critters he didn't like...along with Presidents.

This is so vast it's beyond most of our comprehension...and it's GROWN since BUSH! The ability to Hack and to get into Global Internet is superior and growing day by day.

The Laws can't keep up with the vast growth of the internet since Bush left office and set stage for Privatization and Outsourcing to Corporations (his buddies) and Obama came in and let it all go along so that it's now the OUTTA CONTROL BEAST...!

Opportunities for ABUSE abound! And, ABUSE has taken place. We should be thankful to Edward Snowden for showing us how far the reach has gone and the opportunities for Blackmail and Fraud are right out there. If we don't stop it now...it will devour us.
