Facebook eerily similar to DARPA\u2019s surveillance blueprint which predates 9\/11<\/p>\n

The data collection performed by Facebook has striking similarities to DARPA\u2019s Total Information Awareness<\/em> program that was laid out before 9\/11, which Infowars reported on years ago<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

For starters, in Dec. 2000 the NSA admitted it was ensnaring Americans\u2019 private data protected under the Fourth Amendment as part of its dragnet surveillance of digital communications.<\/p>\n

\u201c\u2026Today\u2019s and tomorrow\u2019s mission will demand a powerful, permanent presence on a global telecommunications network that will host the \u2018protected\u2019 [under the Fourth Amendment] communications of Americans as well as targeted communications of adversaries,\u201d the NSA stated in a declassified memo<\/a> to then-newly-elected President Bush.<\/p>\n

The memo, entitled Transition 2001<\/em>, alluded to both a transition for the NSA as well as the transition into the Bush presidency; the NSA would soon shroud itself with even greater secrecy through a change in its classification policy<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The NSA likely did so knowing it would soon come under scrutiny; not long after the Transition 2001<\/em> memo, the U.S. Department of Defense moved towards integrating existing information on American citizens and aliens into a centralized, virtual database, as reported in a Dec. 15, 2002 New York Times article<\/a> entitled Total Information Awareness<\/em>:<\/p>\n
