The Most Powerful Spy Center In the World
Deep in the Utah desert, at the feet of the Wasatch mountain range, is one of the most secret, most guarded, most secure facilities in the world. Here is where everything you say is analyzed to search for security threats against the United States.
(For a list of monitored websites click here)
It’s the National Security Agency’s Utah Data Center, a $2 billion facility that will capture, record and scrutinize every communication in the world, from emails to phone calls to text messages to chats. It willalso crack codes. According to Threat Level, the encryption cracking will be the most powerful in the world, and will help get into “financial information, stock transactions, business deals, foreign military and diplomatic secrets, legal documents, confidential personal communications.”
There will be four data rooms, 25,000-square-foot each, full of servers, cooled down by 60,000 tons of machinery and 1.7 million gallons of water per day. The site has its own 65-megawatt electrical substation, as well as backup generators that can power the whole thing for three days, uninterrupted. Just the video security system alone costs more than $10 million.
The Utah data center is the centerpieceof the Global Information Grid, amilitary project that will handle yottabytes of data, an amount so huge that there is no other data unit after it. This center—with every listening post, spy satellite and NSA datacenter connected to it, will make the NSA the most powerful spy agency in the world.

Obama Administration Won’t Say If Obama Agree’s With Biden On Same Sex Marriage
The Obama campaign has insisted that Vice President Joe Biden’s remarks about marriage equality echoed President Obama’s belief that gay and lesbians should be treated equally under the law. Senior adviser David Axelrod told reporters that Biden’s statements “were entirely consistent with the president’s position, which is that couples who are married, whether they’re gay or heterosexual couples, are entitled to the very same rights and very same liberties.”
Obama and Biden, he insisted, are still evolving in their support for marriage equality, but believe that discriminatory measures like the Defense of Marriage Act are “unconstitutional and that if people are married we ought to recognize those marriages and afford them the rights to which they’re entitled.”
But this afternoon, during an appearance on MSNBC’s Andrea Mitchell, Obama deputy campaign manager Stephanie Cutter seemed to admit that Biden’s remarks did in fact go further than the administration’s stated position:
MITCHELL: The question to Joe Biden was not about civil unions. The question to Joe Biden was about marriage. Marriage is different from civil rights, civil unions, equal protection under the law. Marriage is a sacrament and a legal sacrament that the Vice President was asked about it and he said he had no problem with it. That is not the same.
CUTTER: He said he had no problem with committed couples forming….he was really impressing the same policies as this president, as this administration….
MITCHELL: [Biden said] ‘I’m absolutely comfortable with men marrying men and women marrying women and heterosexual men and women marrying another are entitled to the same equal rights.”… Is the President of the United States comfortable, as the Vice President said, ‘with men marrying men, women marrying women and heterosexual men and women marrying another’?
CUTTER: Andrea, I’m not going to make news on the president’s views on gay marriage today.
