An military-grade surveillance system, with advanced artificial intelligence, will help keep the new World Trade Center safe from terrorist and other criminals. Here’s everything you need to know — and why you should be worried.

The site of the worst disaster in modern American history is being born anew. Right this second, construction crews are working tirelessly to rise five new skyscrapers, the National September 11 Memorial & Museum, the World Trade Center Transportation Hub, and a performing arts center, on the 16-acre World Trade Center site. Upon completion next year, 1 World Trade Center will soar 1,776 feet into the sky, making it America’s tallest building, and one of the tallest skyscrapers in the world.

Unfortunately, the rebuilding of the World Trade Center also reestablishes it as Target #1 for would-be terrorist.

    And IT (AI?) caused all, both great and small, rich and poor, free and slave, to be marked on the right hand or forehead so that no one could buy or sell unless they had the mark, that is, the number of the beast or the number of its name. IPv6, or IPv666, is scheduled to become the defacto name and numbering system for the Internet in June, 2012! As of 02/20/2013 there were 555 websites already using ipv666.com as their number. A new global computing “beast” called “Titan”, a giant DOE XK6 electronic brain, which will operate at a top rate of between 10 and 20 petaflops, and will be fired up early in 2013. Just so you know.
