Today Bluffdale is home to one of the nation’s largest sects of polygamists, the Apostolic United Brethren, with upwards of 9,000 members. The brethren’s complex includes a chapel, a school, a sports field, and an archive. Membership has doubled since 1978—and the number of plural marriages has tripled—so the sect has recently been looking for ways to purchase more land and expand throughout the town.
But new pioneers have quietly begun moving into the area, secretive outsiders who say little and keep to themselves. Like the pious polygamists, they are focused on deciphering cryptic messages that only they have the power to understand. Just off Beef Hollow Road, less than a mile from brethren headquarters, thousands of hard-hatted construction workers in sweat-soaked T-shirts are laying the groundwork for the newcomers’ own temple and archive, a massive complex so large that it necessitated expanding the town’s boundaries. Once built, it will be more than five times the size of the US Capitol.
Rather than Bibles, prophets, and worshippers, this temple will be filled with servers, computer intelligence experts, and armed guards. And instead of listening for words flowing down from heaven, these newcomers will be secretly capturing, storing, and analyzing vast quantities of words and images hurtling through the world’s telecommunications networks. In the little town of Bluffdale, Big Love and Big Brother have become uneasy neighbors.
The NSA has become the largest, most covert, and potentially most intrusive intelligence agency ever.
Under construction by contractors with top-secret clearances, the blandly named Utah Data Center is being built for the National Security Agency. A project of immense secrecy, it is the final piece in a complex puzzle assembled over the past decade. Its purpose: to intercept, decipher, analyze, and store vast swaths of the world’s communications as they zap down from satellites and zip through the underground and undersea cables of international, foreign, and domestic networks. The heavily fortified $2 billion center should be up and running in September 2013. Flowing through its servers and routers and stored in near-bottomless databases will be all forms of communication, including the complete contents of private emails, cell phone calls, and Google searches, as well as all sorts of personal data trails—parking receipts, travel itineraries, bookstore purchases, and other digital “pocket litter.” It is, in some measure, the realization of the “total information awareness” program created during the first term of the Bush administration—an effort that was killed by Congress in 2003 after it caused an outcry over its potential for invading Americans’ privacy.
But “this is more than just a data center,” says one senior intelligence official who until recently was involved with the program. The mammoth Bluffdale center will have another important and far more secret role that until now has gone unrevealed. It is also critical, he says, for breaking codes. And code-breaking is crucial, because much of the data that the center will handle—financial information, stock transactions, business deals, foreign military and diplomatic secrets, legal documents, confidential personal communications—will be heavily encrypted. According to another top official also involved with the program, the NSA made an enormous breakthrough several years ago in its ability to cryptanalyze, or break, unfathomably complex encryption systems employed by not only governments around the world but also many average computer users in the US. The upshot, according to this official: “Everybody’s a target; everybody with communication is a target.”
For the NSA, overflowing with tens of billions of dollars in post-9/11 budget awards, the cryptanalysis breakthrough came at a time of explosive growth, in size as well as in power. Established as an arm of the Department of Defense following Pearl Harbor, with the primary purpose of preventing another surprise assault, the NSA suffered a series of humiliations in the post-Cold War years. Caught offguard by an escalating series of terrorist attacks—the first World Trade Center bombing, the blowing up of US embassies in East Africa, the attack on the USS Cole in Yemen, and finally the devastation of 9/11—some began questioning the agency’s very reason for being. In response, the NSA has quietly been reborn. And while there is little indication that its actual effectiveness has improved—after all, despite numerous pieces of evidence and intelligence-gathering opportunities, it missed the near-disastrous attempted attacks by the underwear bomber on a flight toDetroit in 2009 and by the car bomber in Times Square in 2010—there is no doubt that it has transformed itself into the largest, most covert, and potentially most intrusive intelligence agency ever created.
In the process—and for the first time since Watergate and the other scandals of the Nixon administration—the NSA has turned its surveillance apparatus on the US and its citizens. It has established listening posts throughout the nation to collect and sift through billions of email messages and phone calls, whether they originate within the country or overseas. It has created a supercomputer of almost unimaginable speed to look for patterns and unscramble codes. Finally, the agency has begun building a place to store all the trillions of words and thoughts and whispers captured in its electronic net. And, of course, it’s all being done in secret. To those on the inside, the old adage that NSA stands for Never Say Anything applies more than ever.

Below are additional words by me.
Through research I have come across information that already functioning is a massive super computer with highly advanced software. The purpose of this super computer is to monitor the web including all social networks looking for trends. It monitors every man, woman and child throughout the world and collects data on political trends, economic trends, military trends, religious trends and every possible trend that can be established. Some say thats why so many high ranking military officers have been let go is because this super computer will be deciding where our soldiers will be deployed based on the trends it sees. It is supposed to be able to predict when wars may start and where based on the trends it sees and then deploy what is needed to that region.
It is also going to create a profile of a person based on trends it sees of that persons life and then decide your profile for you. It will decide your profile based on your religious trends, political trends and so on. It will decide if your good or bad and it will know what you eat, what your daily routine is, where you go to church, what you like to wear and so on. It is doing this by looking into your private life and then saving every aspect of your life. Your banking info, tax info, medical info, and anything that you think is private it will know.
What happened to the government that was supposed to respect our privacy and protect us? they are now against us. We are suspects in a cyber world where nothing is safe and they decide what type of person you are based on trends you have no choice in sharing. We have the right to say NO but this makes us even more suspect. We have the right to choose our own path of life but we are losing our right to say no and choose for ourselves what path we want to take. We have the right to be us and not someone they decide we are.
This super computer is online and functioning and now the NSA has locked up every telecom network in the world. Even if your not connected to some social network you'll be caught on some network somewhere, either by voice or video. The UK has installed new street lights that now incorporate microphones and cameras. Here in the Fresno area police say they are "gunshot" monitors to hear gunshots so they can respond quicker and to the right area. That's BS, it's their way of listening in on pedestrians minding their own business. Smart cars, smart TV's then smart fridges and dishwashers. It will not stop until they can hear your crap hit the water. Invasion of our privacy and the loss of our rights will continue until we decide to say no and say it with power, with people who are not afraid to say no.
We The People? Yes, we still have the power to change things but some don't realize this and are afraid to step up and fight for what is right. Evil will prevail if good men do nothing.
