"...A Turnkey Totalitarian State"...

This, on the NSA's "Stellar Wind" program is one of the scariest things I've read in a long time. And that's saying something. Peppered with spooky spook-speak...like references to the sinister-sounding "Narus device"...it's about how the NSA is basically listening to and recording just about everything. Bad enough as it is, but setting things up so that all it would take is something resembling the flip of a switch for a rogue administration to use this information in the service of repression.

Uh...when, exactly, did everybody go batshit crazy, anyway?

Oh, yeah...September 12th 2001. I almost forgot...
