NSA Talking Points On Utah Data Center: We're Teaming Up With Tech Companies To 'Protect' The Net

[Jan Klimkowski]

When I read this 2002 book on the NSA by James Bamford I sliced it into four two-hundred-page books; data is more manageable that way.

Watching Enemy of the State (1998) with Gene Hackman, Will Smith, Jon Voight, we find nothing at all benign about No Such Agency.

Information is the new gold rush and age of oil

When the spooks are rushing on their run

and they feel just like Jesus' son

I'm feeling tragic like I'm Marlon Brando

I'll give you television
Ill give you eyes of blue
I'll give you men who want to rule the world
