Geez. Isn't there something unconstitutional about this? It somehow smacks of unreasonable search and seizure since it looks like a big fishing expedition. It's feels a little like book burning. As if someone's curiosity or interest in a subject ANY SUBJECT can be made criminal. It's 1994! We will all have to move to Canada although I've heard it's pretty hard to get in if you have lots of education.

fook 'em. what they'll find out is that we ain't looking for kiddie porn. we looked for WMD's before the invasion of iraq and found out that there were none. we also looked for honesty, openness, integrity and intelligence in our leadership and found out that there was none. but they don't need to subpoena google for that. they can just email you and you'll tell 'em, eh?

Now, that is data mining. Wonder what they are doing with all that linguistic info? Remember the futures that Poidexter was playing with? It was on the DARPA website until the yelling from outraged post 9-11 mothers and wives made them take it down. (I have all these events documented, if anyone is interested.) The theory is that by using a very refined softward the pre-emotional record of coming events can be obtained; sort of an elastic reflex between future and current events as reflected in what people are talking about. Finding out what people are talking about is easy, now that we have an internet. Although some of this sounds like an episode of "The X Files" - a tremendous amount of information on such sci fi research (and current deployment) is available. The DARPA linguistics/futures work is only one use for data, and Poindexter has certainly not been fired. These issues (control and prediction through data mining and increasing software sophistication) will be front and center for the foreseeable future. Banking, medical, linguistic and economic data can certainly be merged with employment history and political preferences to create a personal profile. This is just scratching the surface. Your credit card, while guaranteeing access to the matrix is also a tracking device.... i. P.S. Here is an example of how data mining can be used to project future events on collective emotions - all unconscious reactions within individuals. It is an art. Government has its own program, IBM has too and processors are getting smaller, smarter and less visible all the time. halfpasthuman.com prnewswire.com
