HOW THE HELL CAN YOU BE SO CALM! IM FREAKING OUT.[/size]

Yes, and then?
Inside I'm as freaked out as you are, bet I am.
Also I realise there's extremely little you can do about these secretive things. Hence, secretive.
This has happened for who knows how long and there was nothing we knew about or can do about it.
Now that it's out in the open about PRISM, Facebook et al. tumble over each other to be the first to say they know nothing. Sure.
I've said it many times before in many places. Democracy, freedom, whatever you all want to call it....it doesn't exist these days.
Corporatism FTW and an EPIC win they are making.
The only way it will end is with a global financial catastrophy, causing deep recession and increasing poverty which will piss people extremely off. *1
Then they will realize that one of the foundations of capitalism, which is that only governments have the monopoly on violence, is bullshit and used as an instrument to control us.
The only way the people can win this is by force and especially people from western countries are raised and imprinted/indoctrinated with these capitalistic foundation that only governments can play for judge and executioner through violence.
It's for a reason these principles aren't really working in Turkey now and also in Egypt and Libia before.
Capitalism didn't have such a solid foundation there in people's minds and thus people have much little trouble with getting what they want through demonstration and violence against their government. **2
*1: the current crisis is kept alive by the FED, which keeps on flooding the world with non-existing dollars, and the ECB which lends money almost without interest.
This is devaluating all economies world-wide causing extreme budget cuts and increases in expenditures for normal people. Already lots of people in the USA live below the poverty line as we say here and also here in The Netherlands people get poorer and poorer because of this.
People feel highly demotivated and beaten senseless by the seemingly never-ending crisis.
But corporations and governments have the solution of course. Just hand over everything about your life to the corporate government and all will be fine.
Many refer to this as the New World Order, which unfortunately is being used too many that it's losing its value and seriousness, but eventually it will go this direction.
**2: There's also democracy of course which makes this even more complex. Democracy and capitalism in its current form are like how the bible and quran call interest the purest evil.
PRISM and all the other things we see are products of corruption.
