http://www.globalresearch.ca/index.php?context=va&aid=19930

Report: NSA creating spy system to monitor domestic infrastructure

http://rawstory.com/rs/2010/0707/nsa-creating-system-spy-domestic-infrastructure/
The Wall Street Journal cites unnamed sources as saying that the NSA has issued a $100-million contract to defense contractor Raytheon to build a system dubbed "Perfect Citizen," which will involve placing "sensors" at critical points in the computer networks of private and public organizations that run infrastructure, organizations such as nuclear power plants and electric grid operators.

In an email obtained by the Journal, an unnamed Raytheon employee describes the system as "Big Brother."

"The overall purpose of the [program] is our Government...feel[s] that they need to insure the Public Sector is doing all they can to secure Infrastructure critical to our National Security," the email states. "Perfect Citizen is Big Brother."

( The writer who coined the term in his novel '1984' - George Orwell - has inspired many articles and posts - even websites and societies - listed in 'Perception Alteration' in the sidebar list.  There is also a related Wikipedia entry on Authoritarian Personality )
