The NSA Is Turning The Internet Into A Total Surveillance System - GuardianUK

13. The Irony here:

The 'Internet' as we know it is not that old. In prior Years, before the WWW and Telnet it had been a Classified Govenment communication Network to link Government Contractors, Universities doing Government Research. I can remember, back in the 60's, when working for Raytheon, making Missiles, the weekly visit by Army snuffies to change the Key Cards in the Crypto Equipment that connected the facility to the Net.
So, why did the Government turn a Classified asset into a Public Playground? The thought it would make a good Intelligence Collection Tool, considering all of the Anti-War and Race Riots going on at the Time.

It was the Plan from the very beginning. Always has been, always will be. Folks are just now waking up to the facts.

Welcome to the Real World, Neo.........
