The bigger-than-the-CIA National
Security Agency (NSA) had previously stated that the facility would start
operations in September, 2013.
Why should this event mean anything
to you and yours.
While the NSA has offered no specifics about the Utah Data Center’s operations, a 2012 Wired magazine article, citing former intelligence and NSA officials, said computers at the data center will collect electronic information—from emails to cellphone records to purchasing receipts—from all over the world—, store it and look for threatening patterns.” (emphasis CFP’s).
With the privacy of every man, woman
and child on earth now ‘deleted’, as far as is known not one country has moved
to litigate against NASA and the largest spy center known to mankind.
The $2-billion,
1.5-million-square-ft. facility on the outskirts of Salt Lake City in Bluffdale
will store 1 trillion terabytes of information, a sort of computer that
swallowed the world.
Building
started back in 2009 when the Obama administration approached MIDA (Military
Installation Development Authority) to help build utilities for the Utah Data
Center. MIDA created a project area and had the land annexed into
Bluffdale. The NSA paid MIDA for all utility construction. (Salt Lake
Tribune).
“The data center is alleged to be
able to capture “all forms of
communication, including the complete contents of private emails, cell phone
calls and Internet searches, as well as all sorts of personal data
trails—parking receipts, travel itineraries, bookstore purchases, and other
digital “pocket litter”. (Wikipedia).
In other words, all things
electronic gifted to mankind by the genius of Nicola Tesla.
“According to the FISA amendments
Act of 2008, the federal government is legally prohibited from collecting,
storing, analyzing, or disseminating the content of the communications of U.S.
persons, whether inside or outside of the United States, unless authorized by
an individual warrant from the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court.”
But what came in with the tide in
2009 wiped out all forms of protecting citizens from government agencies that
would abuse their privacy when all things Constitutional were set adrift on the
outgoing tide.
The excuse of collecting
information, storing it and looking for
threatening patterns is a joke with the current administration
operating under the bold-faced lie that al Qaeda is no longer a threat because
President Barack Obama put them on the run, and that the Dept. of Homeland
Security identifies returning vets, Tea Party members, and Christians as
terrorists, rather than jihadists who now move freely from state to state and
country to country.
Crypto Cracking
In addition to collecting the
world’s information every day by satellites, by
tapping into undersea cables, by picking up microwave links and tapping of cell
phones and data links on your computer, email links, and so forth
(James Bamford, Wired magazine), the sole purpose of the Utah Data Center is
for code breaking.
For the digital hip, it’s called
‘crypto-cracking’.
And code-breaking is crucial,
because much of the data that the center will handle includes financial
information, stock transactions, business deals, foreign military and
diplomatic secrets, legal documents, confidential personal communications. (Wired magazine,
March 15, 2012).
Think of the function of the Center
how Bamford describes it as acting, “in essence, like a cloud, a digital cloud,
so that agency employees, analysts from around the country at NSA headquarters
and their listening posts in different parts of the U.S.—in Georgia, Texas,
Hawaii and Colorado—can all access that information held in Bluffdale in that
data center. And that’s pretty much a summary of what that data center is
all about.”
“The NSA is much different
from the CIA. First of all, it’s about three times the size. It costs far
more. It’s tremendously more secret than the CIA. And what it does
is very different. It’s focused on eavesdropping, on tapping into major communications
links, on listening to what people around the world and, to some degree, in the
United States say on telephones, email, communications . .
. And NSA is really the most powerful intelligence agency, not
only in the U.S., but in the world today.”
Bill Binney, a senior official
interviewed by Bamford, had been with NSA for 40 years almost, and he left,
saying that what they’re doing is unconstitutional.”
Think of it as your worst nightmare
come to daylight.Meanwhile, in addition to the USA coaxing along wars in powder-keg nations under the guise of Arab Spring, the USA has just become the biggest spy country in the entire world.
