What astonishes me about PRISM is the motive behind it. It appears the purpose of PRISM is to keep the government and it's politicians in operation only. It has nothing to do with protecting the citizens of the United States or otherwise. For instance: if we presume PRISM is as omnipotent as described, and I do believe it is as sinister as it was chronicled. One has to ask this: if the "purpose" is to "protect" American/British citizens from harm then imagine how many child molesters, child pornographers, cartel bosses, under-ground arms dealers, etc. etc. are tacitly allowed to do business. In other words their raison d'etre "to protect us" is bullshit for more people are harmed from all of the above or even in car accidents then from the sinister people they want to "protect us" from. Perhaps they want to "protect themselves" from we the citizens?
