Do you remember this Oscar winning movie THE LIVES OF OTHERS. Brilliant. Phone taps, secret microphones. Now this government is wanting to do the same thing – but with much more skill and sophistication – so that the Lives of Other Australians can be monitored 24/7 – for up to 2 years.
But there is a problem. How will they decipher the really important bytes and bits in the huge pile of meta-garbage. Billions of bytes. Easy. Increases the spending and employ an army of meta-garbage collectors. (At least that will help with employment figures). In the meantime, any fraud of the banking systems, rigged trading and corporate deals or dirty secrets of governments – they will all remain secret. But your privacy will be shopped and shipped in every which way.
So beware the meta-garbage collection scheme. It will come at a cost – to you (and your children’s children).
As covered in globalresearch Dr. Binoy Kampmark (Commonwealth Scholar at Selwyn College, Cambridge; lecturer at RMIT University, Melbourne) talks about US intelligence: “Obese Intelligence”: The NSA Search Engine. “Over 850 Billion Records about Phone Calls, Emails, Cellphone Locations, and Internet Chats”. He goes on to say ‘The problems of such data-sharing processes is the mechanical presumption that they take place in a legal vacuum’ – and the dangerous consequence of sharing practices, distributing sensitive material of citizens.
