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.
Those locations reportedly include China, Ecuador, Russia, Sudan, and Venezuela. In short, the NSA has managed to either place or gain access to servers in a collection of countries that are deeply hostile to the United States. Put another way, computer technicians in every one of those countries are probably combing through their systems right now to figure out ways to boot out the NSA.

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.
Why the antarctic though?
