"Recently, we learned that our governments, working in concert, have created a system of worldwide, mass surveillance, watching everything we do.
"Great Britain's George Orwell warned us of the danger of this kind of information. The types of collection in the book—microphones, and video cameras, TVs that watch us—are nothing compared to what we have available today."

Wild Idaho Rising Tide

Highway 95 is the sacrifice zone for megaload-blocked Highway 12. Now north Idaho tracks are the alternative route for the stalled Keystone XL pipeline. "Crude oil shipments account for 85 trains a day...These long, heavy trains share the rails with the Empire Builder,...[which] carries more passengers than any of Amtrak’s long-distance trains...Crude oil production in North Dakota is setting records every month and is predicted to surpass one million barrels a day next year, from next to nothing five years ago. In October, almost 70 percent of the oil was shipped by rail, and much of that by BNSF. In the absence of new pipelines, including the controversial Keystone XL pipeline, rail has become the alternative."
