- PRISM – “As much as PRISM might sound like a comic book antagonist of S.H.I.E.L.D., it’s the codename for a very real US government program. According to leaked documents, it went into effect in 2007, and has only gained momentum since. Its stated purpose is to monitor potentially valuable foreign communications that might pass through US servers, but it appears that in practice its scope was far greater.”
- Bumblehive – Massive NSA project in Utah, built and run mainly by Mormons, to spy on U.S. citizens, harvesting everything they say, write, buy, text and do. “Learn more about the domestic surveillance data we plan to process and store in the Utah Data Center. Also, view our strategy for using the PRISM data collection program, nationwide intercept stations, and the “Boundless Informant” mapping tool to gather and track this data.”
Bumblehive
Bumblehive is not just about saving every bit of information on everyone for future blackmail or arrest, it’s about using that information for marketing as well and of course, code-breaking for industrial espionage.
- Stellar Wind - “The program’s activities involve data mining of a large database of the communications of American citizens, including e-mail communications, phone conversations, financial transactions, and Internet activity.[1] There were internal disputes within the Justice Department about the legality of the program, because data are collected for large numbers of people, not just the subjects of Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) warrants”

- ECHELON “Intelligence monitoring of citizens, and their communications, in the area covered by the AUSCANNZUKUS security agreement has caused concern.
