Is the US National Security Agency (NSA) building the foundation for a global police state?To answer this question, we need to understand why the NSA exists, what its mandate is, and where it has deviated from its operational boundaries..
To accurately ascertain whether the NSA is evolving into the architecture of a Global Police State, one needs to look at some key deviations from its standard mandates as summarized from several media sources, based on the Snowden revelations and other sources.
Which is why NSA actions are still reminiscent of that of the Russian K.G.B. and German Gestapo days – great models for a global police type state. Don’t wait for it to end completely though; it’s more likely that the threat of terrorism will always provide more than enough leverage for authorities to exceed their boundaries around privacy.
It looks like Big Brother will still be watching us for a long time to come.
