| Massive NSA Facility Being Built In Utah |
| 2011-01-06 |
| Today's groundbreaking for a $1.5 billion National Security Administration(sic) data center. Officially named the Utah Data Center, the facility's role in aggregating and verifying dizzying volumes of data for the intelligence community has already earned it the nickname "Spy Center." Its really long moniker is the Community Comprehensive National Cyber-security Initiative Data Center — the first in the nation's intelligence community. A White House document identifies the Comprehensive National Cyber-security Initiative as addressing "one of the most serious economic and national security challenges we face as a nation, but one that we as a government or as a country are not adequately prepared to counter." The center is designed to be capable of generating all of its own power through backup electrical generators and will have both fuel and water storage. That's National Security Agency. In addition to gathering and collating data from different agencies, it has been suggested that this center will be in charge of Internet defense and warfare. |
