Meet The NSA's New Data Centers: Russia, China, And Venezuela -- Passport/Foreign Policy
Here's something the National Security Agency probably isn't happy to find in Edward Snowden's latest revelation about its activities: The surprising locations of the servers that make up the program X-KEYSCORE, which, according to one leaked agency presentation, has the ability to vacuum up nearly every move a user makes on the Internet.

My Comment: It appears that we do not only live in a global economy .... but we also live in an interconnected global communication grid that has the US intelligence community deeply embedded in the servers that manage this grid. As a result .... the only way that countries like China, Russia, Venezuela, etc. can "kick-out" the NSA is by cutting themselves out from the world wide web .... a prospect that is now impossible for these countries to implement.
