It’s been called the law enforcement tool of the new century, today we look into these massively interconnected surveillance systems, where they are being used, and the history behind them.

Successfully avoiding prosecution for their role in the 2008 meltdown, Goldman Sachs has had a great week. We’ll bring you up-to-date on their major victory, and why it reveals a dangerous cronyism in the Obama Administration.

Plus: You give us a reality check, and we respond. Plus some follow up on one of our favorite stories, that just keeps getting better.

All that and a lot more, in this week’s Unfilter.
