Échelon
A major power today can read via satellite the title of a newspaper you’re reading on a café terrace, and soon it will read the articles themselves. There exists a power capable of screening the phone conversations of an entire nation, sorting and cross-referencing them with highly powerful computers capable of intelligent and thematic research. This great power is America. In the course of the Cold War, The United States, along with Great Britain, Canada, Australia and New Zealand, created a vast surveillance system called F415, a.k.a. “Echelon,” which was worked out by the National Security Agency (NSA). From anti-terrorism to the surveillance of its own citizens, from military to industrial espionage, “Echelon” is more active than what one might want to think, and its new activities, most of them illegal, constitute a major asset for the commercial, military and technological might of the United States.
