NSA & Libs NBN - one criminal and the other should be

NSA

Our corporate owned (foreign) media have ensured that we, the people of Australia know little about what FOREIGN powers are ILLEGALLY doing in Australia.

Here is a LINK to a Guardian-Aust. article on the NSA which is very interesting.  

Remember, having EVERY piece of information on EVERY person that is online or on their mobile, gives the NSA the ability to use and abuse that information and get leaders and any conscientious citizens to toe the line and do what they are told to do or the NSA can use that information to get the edge on commercial negotiations or have inside information on 'sensitive' national issues, etc, etc.  

Effectively, this gives a FOREIGN power the ability to GROSSLY interfere with Australia's sovereignty and our democratic processes.

NBN (Libs)

Did you know that it will cost approx. $90m PER ANNUM, to supply electricity to the NODES that this out of date and useless NBN system uses.  That does not even include the cost of TWO new power stations needed to boost electricity supply, so that these stupid nodes can be used.  Unfortunately, it doesn't quite work like that either because you can't build two new power stations which supply the whole of Australia. ALL the power stations would need to be upgraded to supply electricity to the nodes, so that we can have SUBSTANDARD internet which is already OUT-OF-DATE and supplies us with only a very SMALL increase in internet speed (IF you are within 400metres of a node... otherwise it is slower) and the reliability will be worse than ever because this system STILL relies on 100 year old copper which is in bad shape.

So, this out-of-date and substandard, useless NBN system will cost Australia billions more than the MERE $37billion that Labor's (best in the world and future proof) NBN would have cost.  Not forgetting to ADD, the $90million per annum for electricity and PLUS, around the same amount per annum for Telstra to maintain the decrepid copper still required.

The things Abbott and Turnbull will do to ensure that MURDOCH doesn't lose money on Foxtel..... yes, even selling out this wonderful country.

Anyway, the following LINK is a blog that gives you all the information that our Corporate (foreign) media will not tell us...... that the Libs NBN is a total failure and hasn't even been tested because there is insufficient power available.  So we have nil up and running Libs NBN.  

A total fiasco... which people, I think is fantastic for one reason ONLY... we don't waste OUR hard earned tax on a throw away BILLION dollar item that is total waste of money.  Hopefully it will stay dormant until Labor get back in to finish what they started (and no I am not Labor per se as I am not party orientated but policy, projects and good for Australia orientated).

O..k..a..y

I would have thought that the topic is of some relevance, seeing as BILLIONS of our money will be spent on a "throw away item" which is out of date and substandard in all ways. Also, that the interference by a FOREIGN government into Australia's democratic processes would at least raise some interest.

Additionally, where are all the NEO conservatives who place themselves on this site to swing opinion in the direction of their useless leaders and to promote corporate interests. Do you make a point of NOT commenting on something that you know you can't possibly turn in your direction or are you simply not up to the task.

Well gee Mussi you have introduced 2 big topics in one go which is a bit overwhelming for this old brain and possibly others. Anyway, I'll give it a go and deal with the second one first to get it out of the way.

NBN (Libs)

Everything you say makes sense (as usual) and makes me grit my teeth with frustration and despair (as usual) regarding the NBN and much else that this government is trying on.  Can only hope, as you, that the Lib's NBN will stay dormant until Labor gets back in and gets on with providing their superior system.

Scary, scary, scary stuff. Thanks for the link containing great article and comments. One comment in particular I found striking went something like "We have found the enemy and it is us". Hard to believe they would be storing all our meaningless chatter throughout the world. Sinister!!! I imagine they feel they need to arm themselves against any swell of public opinion that might threaten corporatisation. I wonder if it is only the USA spying on us all? I know it's not feasible to think "Well they can have my natter for what it's worth" because the principle for which Snowden heroically sacrificed so much is the big threatening picture affecting life as we know it. I feel tempted to cease all internet communication and to go into no details via phone...to limit communication of my thoughts about politics or whatever to face to face contact. In other words, to free myself from Big Brother by limiting my freedoms. Already do that to a degree because I refuse to have anything to do with face book or twitter. How does one fight what is going on?

Well I must say you don't seem to have a problem understanding or dealing with either topics.  

I agree they are big topics but really important ones, so was hoping for some discussion.... also just wanted to get it known what is going one.  We are given nothing by our corporate controlled media.

Thanks for your contribution, it is very much appreciated.
