Utah's $1.5 Billion Big Brother Super Spy Complex Breaks Ground

The promise of 5,000 to 10,000 jobs have residents of Utah thinking prosperity and not what might be the ultimate goals of a federal government out of control. As the United States government builds its big brother network, Utah will be the home of the federal government's National Security Administration Data Center. What data will be collected is unknown, but chances are the United States government based on recent evidence will begin storing data about you as part of their goals to fight terrorism.

Construction began this week for the new super spy center in Utah. Let's just call it Big Brother Central.

Officially named the Utah Data Center, the facility's role in aggregating and verifying dizzying volumes of data for the intelligence community has already earned it the nickname "Spy Center." Its really long moniker is the Community Comprehensive National Cyber-security Initiative Data Center — the first in the nation's intelligence community.

A White House document identifies the Comprehensive National Cyber-security Initiative as addressing "one of the most serious economic and national security challenges we face as a nation, but one that we as a government or as a country are not adequately prepared to counter." The document details a number of technology-related countermeasures to the security threat.

Hatch said Utah was chosen for the project over 37 other locations. He characterized the cyber-security center as the "largest military construction project in recent memory."
