The Digital Arms Race: NSA Preps America for Future Battle


===>Cyber-War<==  

There is now the capacity to make tyranny total in America. Only law ensures that we never fall into that abyss—the abyss from which there is no return.
― James Bamford


Not enough people know or understand just how little freedom we have left.”
― Korban Blake


 We are moving rapidly into a world in which the spying machinery is built into every object we encounter.
-Howard Rheingold
 
 The way things are supposed to work is that we're supposed to know virtually everything about what they [the government] do: that's why they're called public servants. They're supposed to know virtually nothing about what we do: that's why we're called private individuals.
― Glenn Greenwald
 
 What do you call someone who watches you in your private moments? They used to be called a pervert, but now they’re called an NSA agent.
 ― Jarod Kin
 
When sorrows come, they come not single spies, but in battalions!
 William Shakespeare
 
When the Rule of Law disappears, we are ruled by the whims of men.
― Tiffany Madison
 
The Social Engineers wet dream is to be able to surveil us in our sleep
― Dean Cavanagh 
 
 Under observation, we act less free, which means we effectively are less free.
― Edward Snowden
 
The most sacred thing is to be able to shut your own door.
― G.K. Chesterton
 
Big Brother in the form of an increasingly powerful government and in an increasingly powerful private sector will pile the records high with reasons why privacy should give way to national security, to law and order [...] and the like.”
― William O. Douglas
 
Everyone has the right to freedom of opinion and expression; this right includes freedom to hold opinions without interference and to seek, receive and impart information and ideas through any media and regardless of frontiers.
― United Nations, Universal Declaration of Human Rights 
 
 It is just when people are all engaged in snooping on themselves and one another that they become anesthetized to the whole process. Tranquilizers and anesthetics, private and corporate, become the largest business in the world just as the world is attempting to maximize every form of alert. Sound-light shows, as new cliché, are in effect mergers, retrievers of the tribal condition. It is a state that has already overtaken private enterprise, as individual businesses form into massive conglomerates. As information itself becomes the largest business in the world, data banks know more about individual people than the people do themselves. The more the data banks record about each one of us, the less we exist.
― Marshall McLuhan
