As reported in Wired Magazine, the National Security Agency is building the largest spy center in the country in Bluffdale, Utah. When completed, its mission will be to sift through the billions of calls, email, Google searches, and personal data trails like travel itinerates, book purchases and other digital “pocket litter.” The surveillance program is codenamed “Stellar Wind.” As Amy Goodman said, “The NSA created a supercomputer of almost unimaginable speed to look for patterns and
unscramble codes.”

Wired’s James Banford added, even though the CIA is more known, the NSA is actually three times the size, more secret than the CIA, and costs far more. “The NSA is really the most powerful intelligence agency, not only in the U.S., but in the world today.”
