Super Conspiracy Double Whammy! The Real Power Behind the NSA
The real company that's maintaining the foundation for the NSA's PRISM program?
BlackBerry.
How the NSA Is Harming America's Economy
'Cisco has seen a huge drop-off in demand for its hardware in emerging markets, which the company blames on fears about the NSA using American hardware to spy on the rest of the world. ... Cisco saw orders in Brazil drop 25% and Russia drop 30%. ... Analysts had expected Cisco's business in emerging markets to increase 6%, but instead it dropped 12%, sending shares of Cisco plunging 10% in after-hours trading.'
Cisco provides carrier grade routers, the real networking powerhouses that not only enable the modern Internet, but the capability to eavesdrop on that same Internet.
These powerhouses use an advanced microkernel to provide a higher availability and scalability needed for this kind of monitoring system.
Who makes that microkernel?
QNX.
Maybe BBM should stand for Big Brother is Monitoring.
(However, BBRY only bought up QNX in 2010 and the spying began much earlier, so this really has nothing to do with BlackBerry, just thought this might get a laugh or two.)
