Big Data Brother - NSA data center front and center in debate over liberty, security and privacy

Why should we trust a government that doesn't trust us?
 It collects everything it can about us and "analyses" it.
Why?
In a free Republic it shouldn't be! 
But government seeks control and most likely the first reason the government is gathering all information on us that it can is simple, because it can. They really have, along with their own devious selfish motives, a belief that their government control is for our own good.
Since it can, then the mendacious nature of contain and control in bureaucracies takes over. The evil nature of government will use data for absolute control of our information, money and movement. 
We have to be terribly vigilant against the terrible nature of total governance. m/r

One man we hoped would answer our questions, the current director of the NSA General Keith Alexander, declined Fox News's requests to sit down for an interview, so we stopped by the offices of a Washington think tank, where Alexander was speaking at a cyber security event last year.
