- W2952881004 abstract "By inserting the current controversy over global surveillance by the NationalSecurity Agency (NSA) into a deeper historical context, we can trace theorigins of U.S. internal security back to America’s emergence as a globalpower after 1898. While U.S. pacification campaigns in the Philippines circa1900 or Afghanistan since 2001 have skirted defeat if not disaster, the information infrastructure for the U.S. exercise of global power, as if driven by some inbuilt engineering, has advanced to ever-higher levels of data management andcoercive capacity. With costs for conventional military occupations nowbecoming prohibitive, the U.S. will likely deploy, circa 2020, an evolvingrobotic information regime-with a triple-canopy aerospace shield, advancedcyberwarfare, and digital surveillance-to envelop the earth in an electronicgrid of unprecedented pervasiveness for the exercise of global power.From the first hours of U.S. colonial conquest in August 1898, the Phi-lippines served as the site of a social experiment in the use of police as aninstrument of state power. In the decade that followed, the U.S. Army plunged into a crucible of counterinsurgency, forming its first field intelligence unitthat combined voracious data gathering with rapid dissemination of tacticalintelligence. At this periphery of empire, freed from the constraints of courts,constitution, and civil society, the U.S. imperial regime fused new technologies, the product of America’s first information revolution, to fashion whatwas arguably the world’s first full surveillance state.A decade later during World War I, these illiberal lessons percolatedhomeward through the invisible capillaries of empire to foster the country’sfirst domestic security service, organized by a small cadre of Philippineveterans. America’s experimentation with policing at this periphery of itsglobal power was thus seminal in the formation of a U.S. internal securityapparatus for extensive domestic surveillance (McCoy, 2009b: 106-115).Over the past century, this same process has recurred, with striking simila-rities, as more recent U.S. pacification campaigns in Afghanistan and Iraqhave dragged on for a decade or more, skirting defeat if not disaster. Duringeach of these attempts to subjugate a dense Asian rural society, the U.S.military has been pushed to the breaking point and responded by drawingtogether all extant information resources, fusing them into an infrastructureof unprecedented power, and creating thereby innovative systems for bothdomestic surveillance and global control. These campaigns have also provedseminal in fostering a distinctive U.S. imperial epistemology that privilegesextrinsic, quantifiable data over deep cultural knowledge.Probing the colonial origins of contemporary surveillance adds analyticaldepth to current events, particularly Edward Snowden’s revelations about theNSA. Indeed, the salience, and significance, of recent surveillance practicesexplored in this chapter can only be fully understood via an approach thatcontextualizes their historical unfolding within the changing character of U.S.imperial controls. Thus, understanding the reliance of colonial police onpolitical scandal as a control mechanism circa 1900 offers insight into thelogic of current NSA surveillance of allied leaders worldwide." @default.
