LA Times: More Domestic Surveillance Is A Key 9/11 Legacy

by gtdonovan on September 8, 2011 at 12:48 pm · Filed under 9/11, data mining, Database Industry, digitalfootprint, governance, link, privacy, security, surveillance, terrorism, wiretapping

From the article: “U.S. law enforcement and intelligence agencies now collect, store and analyze vast quantities of digital data produced by law-abiding Americans. The data mining receives limited congressional oversight, rare judicial review and almost no public scrutiny. Thanks to new laws and technologies, authorities track and eavesdrop on Americans as they never could before, hauling in billions of bank records, travel receipts and other information. In several cases, they have wiretapped conversations between lawyers and defendants, challenging the legal principle that attorney-client communication is inviolate.”

AP: Documents Show NY Police Watched Devout Muslims

From the article: “The New York Police Department compiled lists of mosques and Muslim businesses it saw as potential security risks for reasons that included endorsing conservative religious views or having devout customers … That effort has benefited from federal money and an unusually close relationship with the CIA, one that at times blurred the lines between domestic and foreign intelligence-gathering.”

Cowen and Smith on Geoeconomics

by gtdonovan on September 4, 2011 at 2:28 pm · Filed under Antipode, citizenship, colonial, Cowen, geoeconomics, geopolitics, governance, quotes, security, Smith

From “After Geopolitics? From the Geopolitical Social to Geoeconomics,” pp25-40:

A geoeconomic conception of security underlines conflicts between the logics of territorial states and global economic flows, the proliferation of non-state and private actors entangled in security, and the recasting of citizenship and social forms.

… Whatever else it implies, geoeconomics has come to provide a new disciplining architecture replacing the geopolitical mechanisms of colonial administration.
