The
latest revelation from the Edward Snowden files concerning the National
Security Agency is that the NSA spies upon the financial networks
around the world.Untold hours of video holding untold amounts of
information,button bits all
amounting to little more than a gigantic box full of VHS home movies
gathering dust in your parents' attic. Specifically, that it monitors,
as far as it can, transactions on both the VISA and SWIFT networks. I
will admit that this doesn't surprise me at all and would go further,
this sounds like just the sort of thing that we have a spy agency
for.According to psychology professor Stanley Milgram, who dreamed up
the experiment,sweeping brush nearly
