Wrld Hist to 1450 5e by Spielvogel
Warrentless wiretapping in the United States. We have all heard something about it. But, who is actually listening? It's not the president that listens. And, it is not the government that listens. It's a guy It is a person that wears headphones all day. An employee. When he goes home at night, what personal information does he have in his head? Information is power. Information can be worth millions of dollars. What might a person do with that kind of information? A beautiful woman is dead from a fatal car crash. Was it an accident; or was it murder? Will they find out in time to make a difference? When Money Talks is a thrilling and powerful look into the world of big money and high level, secret, government surveillance, which exposes current issues in a way that is not often discussed. It is a story that will make it impossible for readers to regard a telephone call or an email message in quite the same way ever again. Remember. Buford Tucker listens.
