This ain't about knowing you. Nobody gives a shit about you. You are a "perfect citizen"; domesticated, servile, docile, suggestible, ingests his highly processed and chemicalized food, and licks boot with pride.

It isn't about stopping crime. It is about predicting political and financial trends, getting corporate information so that corporations on the inside get a heads up and can act, and making sure the ruling class stays in power.

Er, yes it could be. At the moment, Recorded Future's clients are: * Investment and trading strategy firms * Marketing, brand awareness & monitoring groups * Public relations & crisis management, advertising corps * Intelligence analysis, national security & defense agencies Clients who have the intellect to grasp the utility of the tools on offer. Hence a pitch to these will result in thousands of sales. Not saying that the local police forces are dim, but their bureaucracy requires repeated pitches resulting in only a handful of sales. When these tools are generally accepted, they will be used to aid crime prevention (and solution).

It is also about that.

On the inside? The inside of what? Oh, you mean belonging to the inner clique of the ruling class. Well, that will limit sales volumes. More likely it will be used by investors - more sales that way.

I can join the ruling class for only $149 a month? Wow! It is just a tool, Cap'n Bells. Its utility is dependent upon the intelligence of those who use it. Rather like the internet, which can be used to educate oneself, or merely to reinforce one's innate prejudices.

Except that private data is being taken on other levels also. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/07/28/AR2010072806141.html[^]

They will get into those too. The Patriot Acts allow the government to break into anything, electronically or physically without a warrant if you are suspected of terrorism. Here is the definition of a terrorist. "[An] act of terrorism, means any activity that (A) involves a violent act or an act dangerous to human life that is a violation of the criminal laws of the United States or any State, or that would be a criminal violation if committed within the jurisdiction of the United States or of any State; and (B) appears to be intended (i) to intimidate or coerce a civilian population; (ii) to influence the policy of a government by intimidation or coercion; or (iii) to affect the conduct of a government by assassination or kidnapping." Notice "to influence the policy of a government by intimidation". Say a tea-partier mails in a bag of tea to the whitehouse with a note saying, "Taxed enough already". Or some guy says "throw them out of office, throw them in jail". They are then legally terrorists and the government will crackdown on them with extreme force.

That is what the NSA specializes in. SIGINT. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Signals_intelligence[^] The NSA has a direct connection with all telcoms in the US. Someday privacy will be a crime.

Yeah, right. There goes cryptography. :rolleyes: They do specialise in more effective ways of code breaking: bribery, torture, burglary, keystroke logging, and social engineering. So best stay under your bed with that num-num blanket.

It surely will, if all the citizens of the USA are as servile as you.
