#1 Bottom line of intriguing article:

Was there any overlap at all between the data-mining tools and techniques used by the Obama campaign and the data-mining tools and techniques used by the National Security Agency?

#2 If there is an overlap, and there is no compelling reason to believe otherwise at this time, that is totally inappropriate and most likely illegal.

I see the news media was shocked by the revelation that the IRS has semi-auto AR15s for enforcement. I wouldn't be surprised if they had fully automatic weapons. I know that mothballed M161As full-auto weapons are going to some of the state agencies linked to the Feds agencies.

#4 The term interested parties should take a deeper look at is predictive analytics- I think the media narrative on the NSA implies to many non techies that someone is actually physically looking at data points and creating BOLO lists at the IRS, NSA or OFA... What they are really mastering is the management of vastly different data bases.

I have read in multiple articles that the OFA probably has a profile not just on low information voters or donors that support the progressive slide toward utopia or worse. They also may have a profile on each and every voter, soon to vote, illegal immigrant who may be swayed by their point of view.
All without any regulatory oversite that HIPPA or FISA would have regarding handling client privileged information.
My rights were breeched at the moment they profiled me.

#5 You've nailed it Capsu78. We've been properly fok'd and I'm not sure we'll be able to recover from it.
