In reply to the discussion: EUGENE ROBINSON: America Should Thank Snowden For Revealing NSA Snooping [View all]polynomial
(750 posts)From my view there are some people who do not sense that this NSA Meta data collection is epoch making. What puzzles me is to know that a very connected one percent type business like Booz Allen and Hamilton can secretly collect a huge meta data base likely about millions of regular citizens.
The behavior pattern of America can be built into a distribution form with incredible accuracy for decision making. Not only for Homeland security but also for marketing, banking, personal habits, you name it just about anything can be patterned from just connected Meta data information.
The calculus is potentially very powerful political characterization of local areas would too tempt to pass up. Talk about the marketing end, it cannot be dismissed that our very own Mainstream media likely has an inside connection to all this Meta data stuff.
So here we have the basic definition of too big to fail. Certainly when wiretaps are secret, plus the whole job done under cover would be so compelling for all sorts of profiteering minds scramble to invest in bribery, blackmail, and fraud. Its the best news making material your tax money can buy.
