I was thinking along these lines too. I think they are using it for political dirty tricks, blackmail, whatever, but the real prize is frontrunning without any traceable link. It is the ultimate tool for the elite capitalist, total information awareness on your competitor. I wouldn't be surprised if the high school dropout analysts have not set up their own store fronts, and the dark lords don't care, or can't stop it. I would hate to be the ex of any of these dropouts running the ship. Nothing to see here, keep moving, we are keeping you safe and indentured.
We are going to have to rewrite all the social contracts with this monstrosity. We know the Constitution is dead. The dark lords didn't like that contract. I wonder what else has been demolished by the spooks. Trust in any instution comes to mind.
You know I use that term High School Drop Out as a rhetorical trick since they outed Snowden for being a drop out.
What we have is another giant Ponzi scheme because it is financed with elastic money supply which they control as well.
It is one big Bilderboogean control paradigm.
And we the sheeple are in the early stages of a Society of Control as Giles Deleuze and William Burroughs predicted. They have not eliminated the enclosure environs, however, since we still imprison record numbers. But the heirarchies of education and work are starting to breakdown.
But the big data modalities and the absence of privacy are essential. And the intimidation caused by the Big Brother syndrome is their golden control turdball. Its ok to talk Kardashian, but anything else is of interest to the all seeing watchers.
I recommend everyone read the essay by Deleuze which is rough going, but well worth it in these circumstances.
Ya know Bill...if Americans could, I say could, ever get out of this brainwashed get ahead of the 1950's era Jones , buy the dip, what is on TV must be true, politians never lie,mentality.... that what they are spoon fed is hogwash, they would realize that untold inventions and advancements have ALWAYS been made by the high school drop outs and the ones who never went to college. THEY WERE DIFFERENT and THEY knew it.
WHO, just WHO do (does one think) are the one who hack? Who, with the help of Google, conned billions of dollars from the homo-paranoid males into buying fake steroids...and on...and on...and on. Who has been hired at 7 figure incomes, to set up all this new world. Princ-sonny boys...nope, guess again.
Learning, who needs learning when we have butons to push ans Sari.
This turnkey totalitarian state is all about profit, and what better way to preserve government power as the handmaiden of the corporate keptocrats than to share information from all over the globe about market moving discussions and decisions, all observed in the formative stages.
Why else would the corporate world be so willing to cooperate?
Outsourced intelligence and security procurement are huge industries. This is the new business model since conventional conflicts are far and few between.
It is a fucking field day for all of corporate America. It is the latest iteration of "War is Profit"
Booz Allen takes out a $1.3 billion dollar Bernanke loan to finance a special dividend to Carlyle which then greases the skids for more contracts to employ "high school drop outs".
No wonder the government intelligence establishment is suffering a senior level brain drain. Everyone wants to monetize their skillset in the private sector.
It's like the SEC, a huge fucking revolving door.
The new enemies are the enemies of the corporatist state.
That means us.
And I don't see anyone in the MSM looking at the big picture.
"It's like the SEC, a huge fucking revolving door."
Lets not overlook the IRS....given the complexity of our tax code it virtually guarantees movement from the government back into the private sector. ditto the FDA.
Sure. How much could you rake in selling this shit? Although, they are getting data from the likes go Google and others, I'd reckon the equation is being looked at as opposite the direction everyone would think. I think these NSA guys are selling this info to the biggest pockets. Maybe even a daily subscription.
Certainly there is the possibility of a scam but "nothing more?" Hardly.
A critical piece of the turnkey totalitarian state is hardly "nothing." Consider it in the context of the suspension of the rest of the Bill of Rights, the militarization of local police, the centralization of the Feds under DHS. Watch "The Lives of Others" if you haven't.
Oh sure, but that's just icing on the cake. Given the choice, if you were a real sack of shit, would you rather have info to hold over others head for future blackmail, or become as rich as an emporer? Maybe both would be nice, but riches would hold the largest allure, hands down.
Haha, too fucking funny. I was thinking about that old saying today. When I first heard it in high school, I couldn't figure out what the hell it could mean. Well, I guess now we know, huh?
the scum in control doesn't need money... they have the printing press world wide... and have used it to buy up governments, media, corporations... whatever it takes to get their agenda in place... money is just a means to the ultimate end, power.
Tsukato,
Now you finally get it. It's never about protecting you.
Otosan!? Anata wa honto ni omoshiroi. Shi ne kuso baaaaakaaaaa!

GOD..help us. Nope, forget that, doesn't work.
the coils of a snake are even more complex than the burrows of a molehill - g.d.
good on ya Bill for linking Deleuze. he sure did call it, didn't he?
Bingo!

Everything is a scheme and as miserable a realization as it is, it is also empowering to be able to see it for what it is.
The words conspiracy theorist are now a badge of honor.
conspiracy theorist = realist/someone who can do a bit of research
Sorry, Bill, the use of the phras Conspiracy Theorist has been banned.
We now self identify as Critical Skeptics.

that's how NSA can be designated a TRADEMARK, they are selling your information..

I told a friend of mine 'Information is money'
He is a very smart academic so he made fun of me.
Haha, too fucking funny. I was thinking about that old saying today. When I first heard it in high school, I couldn't figure out what the hell it could mean. Well, I guess now we know, huh?
It was traditionally worded as 'knowledge is power'. Money is only one facet of power.
ROFLMAO... +1
the scum in control doesn't need money... they have the printing press world wide... and have used it to buy up governments, media, corporations... whatever it takes to get their agenda in place... money is just a means to the ultimate end, power.
Yep, control is the goal.
FUCK SHALOM BERNANKE AND THE HORSE HE RODE IN ON
"Fuck peace, Bernanke"? Oy vey!
No Rocket Science there.
