NSA Building New Supercomputing Center
April 25th, 2011Via: Information Week:
The National Security Agency is designing a new $895.6 million supercomputing center that will be constructed at its Fort Meade, Md., headquarters over the next several years, Department of Defense budget documents reveal.
Let’s assume that any competent military, diplomatic service, or indeed, terrorist cell, are using one-time-pad encryption. So what are all the supercomputers for?
Maybe it is for analysing all those data trapped into Main Core?
Or maybe for that real-time simulation of every American they talked about some month or year a ago.
Didn’t they just build a computing center in Maryland during the last few years? I read something here that mentioned all the power the site was using.
Maybe they need more computing power to store all that personnally identifiable location information that is being gathered for them by Facebook, Google, Apple, etc?
No wonder the U.S. is bankrupt. These spies are more interested in whether or who cuts a fart at night and whether it is silent and deadly smelling and attributing that event to terrorism than they are in the health and well being of the people they are spying on.
There’s REALLY something wrong with this picture.
When I worked for Texas Instruments in the 80’s they had a concept of using a rotating disk to display holographic images, the example being an air traffic controller. Thepicture presented with the article was of people standing around the 3d holographic display pointing their handheld device to communicate to the planes.
This knowledge confirms to me the scary picture of NSA to visualize, real time, in the abstract, with hard data support via available data, a persons location,.surroundings, and associates. From the research labs, no product was produced.
Yet CIAs google can produce street view for public consumption.
Buy one of those novelty holodiscs and spin it to see
