Government continues to grow, while the amount of data they amass about the lives of citizens grows exponentially. We have seen major corporations in the areas of advertising, social media, defense contracting, and computing form partnerships with government agencies to compile virtual dossiers on all humans.
The fact that we are tracked, traced and databased is indisputable, but even many privacy advocates seem to believe that the sheer amount of data being collected is itself the Achilles Heel of the surveillance-industrial complex; that it is a sort of protection, as who or what could ever sift through it all?
John P. Holdren, Obama's science czar, and author of the controversial eugenics tome, Ecoscience, is one of those directing the solution to the data overload problem. Enter "Big Data."
It was recently announced that the NSA is constructing a massive new $2 billion data center that aims to expand its spy activities.
At this facility the NSA will be spying on every single form of communication, ranging from the entirety of private emails, cell phone calls, Google searches and other Internet activity, to data on travel, parking receipts, purchases at bookstores, and anything and everything they can get their hands on.

This data collection initiative is one taking place across the board in our largest federal agencies and departments such as the National Institutes of Health, Department of Defense, National Science Foundation, the Department of Energy, the U.S. Geological survey, and DARPA. As government data collection ramps up, the Obama administration through the Office of Science and Technology Policy has announced a $200 million investment in taking this information "from data to decisions."
This scientific and national defense endeavor is all-encompassing as it seeks data input and sharing between government and private companies, such as Amazon, as well as public universities. The overall goals are stated as follows:
- Advance state-of-the art core technologies needed to collect, store, preserve, manage, analyze, and share huge quantities of data.
- Harness these technologies to accelerate the pace of discovery in science and engineering, strengthen our national security, and transform teaching and learning; and
- Expand the workforce needed to develop and use Big Data technologies. (Source PDF)
- Encouraging interdisciplinary graduate programs.
- Turning data into information -- machine learning, cloud computing, and crowd sourcing;
- Support for "EarthCube" a system that will allow geoscientists to access, analyze and share information about our planet;
- Support for a focused research group of statisticians and biologists to determine biological pathways.
We are witnessing nothing short of the next stage of evolution for the scientific dictatorship, as it moves from total surveillance and information awareness toward implementing its permanence through autonomous systems that will collectivize all human experience into data sets that can be tracked, analyzed and immediately acted upon to affect social structures, economies, war, science, health and education.

"At this facility the NSA will be spying on every single form of communication,..........." DUH!
Sorry, but this is nothing new. They've been doing that since the 60's with Project Echelon, etc. Granted, they've added new technology to better intercept, ironically, new technology. The article seems to pose the question as to HOW can soooo much information possibly be carefully scrutinized? The answer to this question lies in earlier posts to this website and elsewhere on the internet; There are "super" computers and other electronic equipment and software that can now scan through billions of photos in seconds, trillions of files per second, including facial and voice recognition, stress indicators, and other A.I. analytical methods for "threat assessment" and whatever else "they" are looking for. Ever heard of AmDocs?
"Would you like to play a game?" Many "games" were played on 9/11 and on 7/7 -- What is "reality" anymore? Hollywood always seems to foreshadow "events" and yet We The Sheeple are called "conspiracy nuts" for pointing out the obvious. Remember the first episode of "The Lone Gunmen" in the SPRING of 2001??? You know, the one where rogue agents within the US government attempt to fly a remote-controlled plane into the WTC's twin towers. Who benefits? is the most important question.
In reality, no pun intended, "SkyNet" and the "Matrix" are active and awaiting orders while any "bugs" are being worked out "fighting" fake, albeit quite profitable, WARS! The technology that is actually available to the elitist war-mongering parasites would give you nightmares. We see only what they want us to see.
Come on, seriously, the One World Government has the capability to find ANYONE almost instantly and tell you what they ate for breakfast, and with whom they ate it -- Hell, TMZ does that every day!!! If someone can't be found within minutes or hours, they are old-school, low/no-tech, and off-the-grid with little or no contact with their past; OR, they are actually part of the CORPORATE-SPONSORED spy network.
Pleasant dreams!

Big Government, Big Data, Big Brother, Big Sheep. Straight out of the big asstate of Texas.
