NSA ...The Eyes of the "gods" - Intel & The World Wide Web (Vav vav vav)...
Man of Lawlessness holds politicians in fear of their "personal sins". J.Edgar Hoover would have loved the NSA.
Background regarding Intel, "knowledge" (both good and evil).
The connection between the incident in Garden of Eden and the infrastructure of the anti-Christ.
A PERVERTED DREAM COME TRUE: "Vav vav vav"! Satan’s dream of man possessing the knowledge of good and evil with the purpose of ultimate control and rule over mankind has finally come true. Some six, (6), thousand years after the “incident” in the Garden of Eden, man has, in some perverted and erroneous sense, indeed become like god knowing both good and evil.
Six, (6), a number that represents man’s best achievements without consideration of God, emphatically implies that man’s form of human governance is rapidly approaching the end. It only took “Six” thousand years for man to achieve the technological infra-structure that will facilitate the most evil, profane abomination in the history of mankind. The infra-structure of this giant personal Intel gathering machine, (computer) uses the worldwide net, (WWW) as its primary means to connect to, access and monitor all commerce, employment processes, facilitating banking and healthcare services while monitoring power and energy consumption as it maintains inventory and distribution of goods and services controlling every aspect of transportation down to the gasoline pumps that you use to fuel your vehicle. Thou the Internet is neither Inherently good nor evil, the Internet is used and controlled by evil power hungry "entities" in the same ways as the spider uses a web to capture its prey. The controllers of this megalithic infrastructure will continue to improve its effectiveness as a fully integrated system that watches and monitors every aspect of your life.
THE WEB OF THE SPIDER: Access to the “spiders’ web” will be government controlled, access by permission only. Since all commercial trade and industry in general use the WWW to conduct business, no one will be able to do business in a “cashless” economic society without it. Numbers will turn your services and access on and numbers will turn your services and access off. The WWW is a world of numbers in code, a series of 000 and 111s (0101110). This indeed is the infra-structure of the system of the Beast.
YOU SHOULD UNDERSTAND THIS:"www" is the acronym for world wide web and is normally used as the prefix, or first node of the Internet domain names, such as www.domain name. The Hebrew and Greek alphabet does not have separate characters or alphabets for numbers and letters. Letters are also used as numbers. So each letter is a numerical value. The Hebrew equivalent of our "w" is the letter "vav" or "waw". The numerical value of vav is 6. So the English "www" transliterated into Hebrew is "vav vav vav", which numerically is 666.
SOMETHING TO CONSIDER: HEBREW-ENGLISH-NUMBER TABLE
The English equivalent is below the Hebrew letter (in parenthesis).
The number value of the Hebrew letter is below the English letter.
The "vav" or English "w" or "6" is highlighted in yellow.
Hebrew reads right to left.
Vav vav vav = www = 666
A little "detail" concerning the Biblical number "666": Revelation 13:18 reads: Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six. Rev. 13:18
The number is NOT simply three SIXES or 6-6-6, but 600 + 60 + 6, or the number "Six hundred sixty and six". In Revelation 13:18 we're told to "count the number of the beast". How do we "count the number of the beast"? In Revelation 14:11 the mark is referred to "the mark of his NAME". In Revelation 13:17, 15:2 it's called "the number of his NAME". So the "mark" and "number" refer to his "name". We count the number of his name. In the Greek and Hebrew language there are no "numbers" such as 1, 2, 3, or 666. The Greek and Hebrew letters are also numbers. Gematria is the adding up or "counting" (Rev 13:18), the numerical equivalent of each letter in a word or name. This was fairly common in the days before alphabetic numbers. For instance, on the walls of ancient Pompeii, someone wrote, "I love her whose number is 545". For instance, it's common knowledge, the name of Jesus in Greek equals 888.
The number 666 indicates that the letters in the Greek form of the name of the Antichrist and will add up to 666. The numeric system works in Greek or Hebrew. The word “COMPUTER” in English works using alpha numeric equation of A = 6, B = 12 etc through the alphabet to the letter Z, adding the numeric equitant of the English word C =18 , O = 90, M = 48, P = 96, U = 126, T = 120, E = 30, R = 138 = 666. Since the computer originated in the United States English speaking world and English is the official adapted universal language of national commerce then it is logical that English language should have some bearing on endtime bible prophecy.
The "count the number of the beast" is the total of adding the letter/numerical value of his name. This "count" equals "Six hundred sixty and six', not simply three 6's or 666. The Hebrew letter "vav" means "hook, peg or nail". The number "6" also resembles a "hook". The Internet IS "hooking" the world into the 666 infra-structure of the Beast global system.
And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a MARK in their right hand, or in their foreheads: And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the MARK, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six. Rev. 13:16-18.
THERE SHOULD BE NO DOUBT ... THE WORLD WIDE WEB — 666: IS THE “INFRA-STRUCTURE” TO SUPPORT THE MARK OF THE BEAST
The "Intel" Genesis Connection: Genesis 3 vs 3; Now the serpent was craftier than any of the wild animals the Lord God had made. He said to the woman, “Did God really say, ‘You must not eat from any tree in the garden’?...” 2 The woman said to the serpent, “We may eat fruit from the trees in the garden, 3 but God did say, ‘You must not eat fruit from the tree that is in the middle of the garden, and you must not touch it, or you will die.’” 4 “You will not certainly die,” the serpent said to the woman. 5 “For God knows that when you eat from it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.”
IN PLAIN SIGHT: Here it is, in plain sight, right in front of our eyes, the ALL SEEING EYE that collects and categorizes your most private information as you dialog with a machine (computer), like a “crystal ball” full of answers to life’s questions, a kind of “god” intelligence. Satan is salivating slime over the prospects of ultimate human domination. His man of the hour is about to be revealed. A “man of lawlessness”, whose “image” will be worshiped on iPods, hand held Internet devices, computer monitors and giant TV screens that will make it easy to pay homage and adoration to this Bastard of Hell who is about to be revealed to the world.
"YOU WILL BE LIKE GOD": a twisted lie! In a twisted sense, Man has become "like" god, In that he now possesses the knowledge of both good and evil. Knowledge is information; access to private knowledge in the hands of man creates a threatening potential for absolute control. When evil men obtain and retain “information” about you, they in essence possess the “knowledge of good and evil”, a very real form of incredible dark and evil power over you. Since all men have character flaws, those who retain knowledge of your most private human frailties will use that information to manage your life. Satan knew that if a man’s eyes were open to both the knowledge of good and evil that man would use the confidential and very personal and private information of individuals to hold men hostage in fear. Family secrets, ancestral histories and nefarious activities of each individual would be the ultimate weapon to coerce men into conformity to any apostate ideal. The threat to expose embarrassing human weaknesses, moral failures and less than dignified behavior would provide the perfect bullet to launch when the possessor of such Intel deemed it necessary. Ah but you claim that you do not have anything (sin) to hide?
WELCOME TO THE NEW WORLD ORDER WHERE SIN IS “RE-DEFINED” : The sin of "political incorrectness". If you are a living, breathing human being you are vulnerable to blackmail and manipulation under the most hideous threat of the public exposure of embarrassing and potential incriminating knowledge of both the good and evil that you engage in. The “information super highway” is a two way expressway where information travels in both directions. On your end you attempt to control what comes into your information world. On the other end, other “agents” of darkness automatically gather Intel about you and hold the knowledge of good and evil until it becomes necessary in their demented best interest to compel you to comply with the new world order agenda. The new world agenda has a whole new “list of sins” and set of rules for the “politically incorrect”. If you fail to comply, you are exposed as an “enemy of the state” and you will be “outed”. When you're outed, you will not be allowed access back into the infrastructure to obtain and partake in the exchange of goods and services. YOU CLAIM YOU HAVE NOTHING TO HIDE: Ah but you say that you have nothing to hide. Your ignorance is astounding. What about your private medical condition that you keep secret for whatever reason? What about that secret abortion that you, your wife, your girlfriend or daughter had? What about your less than ethical business practices that you participate in hiding cash in your pockets? What about what you do or have done in private? AND THEN THERE IS YOUR POLITICALLY INCORRECT STAND AGAINST SIN. Wake up!, your secrets is no longer secret. HELP FOR DUMMIES: Everything that you say and do in private will be used against you in a court of law when men deem it necessary. SEE HOW THIS WORKS?
The disgusting irony of this scenario is that the very ones, who hold your sins over your head, have their own disgusting nefarious lives filled with skeletons in their closets. Of course, these fools believe that they will never be exposed because they hold in their control the ability to hide the loathing information of their own sins. The Truth is that NO ONE will escape the exposure of their sin before a Righteous God, unless their sins are forgiven by God Himself. Everything that is done in secret and darkness will be exposed to the light at the Judgment seat of Christ. The good news is that the judgment seat of God is NOT reserved for those whose sins have been forgiven by Him.
Satan is the god of the world and with his twisted interpretation of who he thinks God is, has finally leveraged enough human man power to seize and utilize today’s technology to obtain and store in memory your sin and use it against you when necessary. An evil master is a slave task master. An evil master will use information (the knowledge of good and evil), to enslave you and coerce you into conforming to his will. You are being made into the image and likeness of him as you give up your personal freedoms and cow-tow to political correct yet biblically incorrect conduct and do not even realize it.
POSSESSING INTEL DOES NOT A GOD MAKE: The Serpent’s perverted perception of God does reveal his own deficient character. Satan’s inability to comprehend the Divine nature of God has been perpetually skewed by his own personal experience of expulsion from the presence of God after leading a rebellion against The Creator. Satan’s void comprehension of Divine love and forgiveness has forged his twisted view of the importance of “possessing knowledge”, i.e. information. Satan’s damaged psyche after his rebellion subsequently resulted in his profound ignorant and unachievable ambition to be the supreme ruler of mankind. When Satan tempted Eve in the Garden, he claimed that the key to become like God is to possess knowledge of both good and evil. In other words, from Satan’s twisted view point, possessing information gives you absolute power.
TRUTH IS, ABSOLUTE POWER IN THE WRONG HANDS CORRUPTS: The truth is that Satan did not speak the absolute truth to Adam because Satan’s inability to comprehend the loving and forgiving nature of God is something that he himself has and will never experience. Satan’s lie to Adam, is the perfect example of his tainted perspective of Truth and should serve as the template of how Satan perceives the universe. Satan’s promise to Adam that “he would be like God”, was a meaningless partial, yet twisted truth without full complete disclosure and contained just enough information to be deadly.
The idea that possessing the knowledge of both good and evil is something to be desired, when in fact, the knowledge of both good and evil in and of itself is an unfruitful, worthless and flawed objective. The knowledge of both good and evil is a heavy responsibility and can only be handled by a loving God Whose nature it is to forgive, heal and save. Satan remains eternally bitter from his own demise and will never understand how God, Who knows and comprehends all things, can forgive man with the full knowledge of his deeds, both of good and evil. Satan does not have the ability to comprehend the Divine nature of God’s mercy that perfectly “regulates” the use of information.
THE “DIFFERENCE”:It is the lust for power that motivate men to “lord” over other men however, the idea to hold men captive originates from the first causality of lust and power, Satan, who was cast from Heaven for crimes against God’s creation and the self deluding attempt to usurp authority over the very God who created him.
When it comes to “Intel”, The difference between God and Satan is that God will forgive you and Satan will destroy you while possessing identical Intel, the exact same knowledge of both good and evil. Satan convinced Adam that his eyes would be opened to see both “good and evil”. Satan’s bait was to dangle the “need to know” in front of Adam. Satan’s failure to understand God’s mercy and forgiveness compelled Satan to bring man under the same delusion and persuade man to use Intel, (the knowledge of both good and evil), to manipulate, conspire against and control other men by fear. Satan is the author of fear. God has not given man the spirit of fear. Thank God that at the moment that Adam sinned in the Garden, that God immediately revealed His promise to send the Messiah to save man from the power of the fear of eternal damnation.
HE WHO HOLDS INTEL HOLDS THE POWER OF LIFE AND DEATH: The Serpent’s nature, as revealed during his dialog with Adam in the garden has unveiled his true character, as his demented understanding of the diabolical use of information, (the knowledge of good and evil) is useful to the holder of such information to dominate his opponent by fear. Now, for the first time in human history, the “god of this world”, (Satan), has achieved his dream, to usurp control over God’s creation using accumulated personal and private information, that has been retained for controlled public release to the general population when necessary, in order to “hold the human soul of man hostage”, and compel him to comply with his perverted ideals of how the new world should be. Truly man has become like god in that he has mastered the perverted use of the knowledge of both good and evil).
This is Satan’s final coupe to achieve his age old plan to master over the earth. Men are only the agents of the evil one busy accumulating incriminating information over the lives of other men in order to hold them hostage until a future moment when the government needs to push its agenda to the next level. Whereas Hoover was a tactician using this type of intimidation, Obama is the master of deception using today’s technology to achieve un holy ungodly wicked objectives while holding the Intel dagger to the throat of all opposition. Obama’s Diabolical Use of “Intel” to hold the human race captive via a global system infrastructure is diabolical and in its final years of deployment.
THE DIFFERENCE IS IN THE "EYE" OF THE BEHOLDER: Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. 1 Peter 5:8
"The Eyes of the Lord are in every place, keeping watch on the evil and the good." Proverbs 15:3 NKJV

Deuteronomy 21:9 NIV
"May we find favor in the Eyes of the Lord."Genesis 47:25 NIV.
Man has become “like god”. In that he now possesses the knowledge of both good and evil
The Mark of the Beast is received only after "worship" of the beast or his image. The infra-structure of the Beast will be in place functioning well in advance of the implementation of the mark.
"If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark" Rev. 14:9
"who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark" Rev. 14:11
"which had the mark of the beast, and upon them which worshipped his image." Rev. 16:2
"them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image" Rev. 19:20
"Which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark" Rev. 20:4
SOME "USALBE" KNOWLEDGE OF GOOD AND EVIL: Here is some usable “knowledge of good” for you. Jesus Christ died to save YOU from ALL of our embarrassing, stupid, inadequate, dumb, rebellious, secret, lying, misleading, abhorrent behavior, also referred to as sin! - BOZUNG
"THE TROJAN HORSE"
The Sin of Numbering the People
2 Samuel 24:1-25.
Obamacare is a "TROJAN HORSE" that Satan will use to number, enslave and control the people of the earth. It will be absolutely impossible for such a vast and complex system to function without "NUMBERING THE PEOPLE". Once the system is operational, it will be expanded through the United Nations World Healthcare Organization to all nations and used to track and control every human being on the planet, participation will NOT be optional.
Numbering the People: The sin of "counting" people has everything to do with the MOTIVE and purpose of the count. If the 'counter' ignores the unique, individually of the human soul that was created in the image and likeness of God, the process of counting people then becomes an absolute abomination to God.
EXAMPLE: David's sin in numbering the people of Israel - It was Satan who provoked David to number Israel. 2 Samuel 24:1-25. Based upon available biblical information, a sound conclusion can be reached regarding the sin of David counting the people of Israel. David "numbered the people" with NO REGARD of the unique individuality of the soul and of each person. David numbered people in pride, (strength of his flesh). David wanted to determine the strength of his army in numbers. In other words, rather than relying this time upon the strength of God in battle, David eyes were on the "numbers". David's motive was confirmed by God who declared that the number of the men that he counted were of "those that drew the sword" (2nd Samuel 24:9-10). The offense against God in this case was that David was looking at the power and strength of the size of his army, (number of solders), rather than boasting in the strength of the Lord.
Now, it must be understood that numbering people was "otherwise" a very lawful thing to do. E.g.: (Exodus 30:11-12)
EXAMPLE: Moses numbers the people of Israel - "And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, When thou takest the sum of the children of Israel after their number, then shall they give every man a (ransom for his soul) unto the LORD, when thou numberest them; that there be no plague among them, when thou numberest them."
NOTE: A "ransom for a man's soul" is an acknowledgement that each man belongs to the Lord and is sanctified to God as a unique individual. (Numbers 1:1-3)
"And the LORD spake unto Moses in the wilderness of Sinai, in the tabernacle of the congregation, on the first day of the second month, in the second year after they were come out of the land of Egypt, saying, Take ye the sum of all the congregation of the children of Israel, after their families, by the house of their fathers, with the number of their names, every male by their polls; From twenty years old and upward, all that are able to go forth to war in Israel: thou and Aaron shall number them by their armies." Clearly we see that there was no inherent sin in numbering Israel IF each human being is acknowledged as unique and belongs to God who is his source of life. God Himself told them to do it on occasion. But when king David numbered Israel, we are told that he was motivated by sin because he was tempted by Satan to trust in flesh with no regard of the numbered of whom belonged to the Lord. David's pride was manifested.
SO WHAT WILL BE THE ISSUE WITH OBAMACARE ?
He was given power to give breath to the image of the first beast, so that it could speak and cause all who refused to worship the image to be killed. He also forced everyone, small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on his right hand or on his forehead, so that no one could buy or sell unless he had the mark, which is the name of the beast or the number of his name. This calls for wisdom. If anyone has insight, let him calculate the number of the beast, for it is man's number. His number is 666. (Revelation 13: 15-18) -
The bible declares that anyone who allows himself to participate in the 'count', (to be numbered), will be eternally lost and sentenced to eternal death. (Revelation 14:9-10) - BOZUNG
RISE OF THE PHOENIX - 2018 - Global Super-Reserve Currency
Room in the pan for one more:
The frog in the kettle is boiling and does not know it! Super inflation, outrage fuel prices, expensive commodities, unreasonable taxation and the absolution penetration of your personal privacy is by the design of a minority “select” men who intend to enslave mankind. This is NOT their idea, but they think that it is!
The water was fine when I first got in:
The intentional deflation of the U.S. Dollar will “equalize” world currency values to make funds compatible with other global currencies. The intentional “re-distribution of wealth, (a currency transfer from those who have, to those who have not), is eliminating the middle class and will soon result in an upper-class of global elite with vast power over the lower social class of subservient citizens. This is the ultimate goal of the new world order and this global objective will be achieved by or before the year 2018. Soon the introduction of a new universal “hard global currency” will be a welcomed relief to most global citizens seeking “fairness and equality”.
Reality:
Global technology is in rapid deployment “tracking each individual” via a massive “data-grid” using secured servers integrated into the “www”, (the largest computer network in the world interlinking telecommunications, information technology, and computer engineering systems). Global society, by design, is now accustomed to and dependent upon this grid for survival. The assimilation of this intrusive electronic infrastructure into everyday life has “opened a window” that cannot be closed. This two-way “portal” provides the optimum vortex for the collection of personal data and maximum intrusion and control of the personal lives of each global citizen connected to the global network.
I’m ready, turn me over:
Now that society has been conditioned to “leave the window open” and has become reliant on the “network”, it will be an easy step for global citizens to accept the elimination of cash altogether. Of course a cashless society will be the prudent, safer and secure way of living under unified “global security measure”.
Frogs do not understand:
Absolute control over the dissemination of currency is absolute control of society. The removal of actual “hard currency” from the equation eliminates any meaningful opposition to absolute control. It now becomes a matter of who controls the “switch” to access goods and services I.e. Healthcare, food, water and energy. DAH!
The technology based www network is the very infrastructure that supports the way in which currency is transferred and controlled today. “Hard currency” is completely irrelevant and is only kept in circulation to satisfy the human psychological dependency upon which such transactions have historically transpired. Currency available to the general population has no real equitable value and is an illusionary manipulation of “numbers” that is not backed by any form of real secured value.
Help for dummies:
(NO GOLD OR SILVER STANDARD). All hard currency will be eliminated from society shortly after the introduction of the new global “phoenix currency” system. This new currency will be introduced on a global scale during the next massive global economic meltdown likely to take place the 13th of September 2015. The Phoenix global currency will be a temporary hard currency that is necessary as an intermittent step to a cashless society in order to satisfy the human physiology of “holding” material currency in hand. This hard currency will become quickly unnecessary and withdrawn from circulation and replaced by a CASHLESS economy and managed by the existing network super-grid infra-structure data banking system that is functional even as you read this.
All others pay cash:
“ACCESS” to currency is paramount... Eliminate hard currency and life and death becomes a matter of "permission based" access to a purchasing system. Once hard currency is illuminated, the mega data grid infrastructure that has been operational for years will link each citizen of the world directly to his or her government secured personal data file. These personal files are monitored by U.N. Global assigned data-banking institutions around the world and controlled by just a few global bankers and the hand full of political global leaders who are beholden to them.
The largest of such institutions continue to fill its information coffers with collected personal data history of each person on planet each and every day. These personal data files are currently being linked to each individual’s health care, banking, investment and commerce data accounts. Just prior to the elimination of the temporary “phoenix currency", a uniquely assigned numeric code will be distributed to each global citizen that will provide access to goods, services, banking and employment. A unique world government ruling authority is currently developing the “criteria authorization procedure” that determines whose will be permitted access to goods, services, commerce, health care and income opportunities. The access “switch” will be controlled via a government controlled global Internet network that is managed by those U.N. Global assigned data-banking institutions and their subsidiaries. Only individuals who actually possess true value wealth, supported by physical possessing precious metals and commodities will temporarily escape the human demise and subsequent sufferage of the experience of absolute human slavery. These same persons will quickly realize that all the gold and silver in the world will not save them from what is about to transpire on planet earth. - BOZUNG
WELCOME TO THE NEW WORLD ORDER! Top 10 largest databases in the world:
The largest data base in the world is the World Data Centre for Climate. Operated by the Max Planck Institute for Meteorology and German Climate Computing Centre. It has 220 terabytes of web data readily accessible on the web as well as 6 petabytes of additional data. (6 petabytes = 3 times the amount of all the U.S. academic research libraries contents combined)
Library of Congress - Not even the digital age can prevent the world's largest library from ending up on this list. The Library of Congress (LC) boasts more than 130 million items ranging from cook books to colonial newspapers to U.S. government proceedings. It is estimated that the text portion of the Library of Congress would comprise 20 terabytes of data. The LC expands at a rate of 10,000 items per day and takes up close to 530 miles of shelf space -- talk about a lengthy search for a book.
If you're researching a topic and cannot find the right information on the internet, the Library of Congress should be your destination of choice. For users researching U.S. history, around 5 million pieces from the LC's collection can be found online at American Memory.
Unfortunately for us, the Library of Congress has no plans of digitizing the entirety of its contents and limits the people who can check out materials to Supreme Court Justices, members of Congress, their respective staff, and a select few other government officials; however, anyone with a valid Reader Identification Card (the LC's library card) can access the collection.
By the Numbers
• 130 million items (books, photographs, maps, etc)
• 29 million books
• 10,000 new items added each day
• 530 miles of shelves
• 5 million digital documents
• 20 terabytes of text data
Central Intelligence Agency - (CIA) is in the business of collecting and distributing information on people, places and things, so it should come as no surprise that they end up on this list. Although little is known about the overall size of the CIA's database, it is certain that the agency has amassed a great deal of information on both the public and private sectors via field work and digital intrusions.
Portions of the CIA database available to the public include the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) Electronic Reading Room, The World Fact Book, and various other intelligence related publications. The FOIA library includes hundreds of thousands of official (and occasionally ultra-sensitive) U.S. government documents made available to the public electronically. The library grows at a rate of 100 articles per month and contains topics ranging from nuclear development in Pakistan to the type of beer available during the Korean War. The World Fact Book boasts general information on every country and territory in the world including maps, population numbers, military capabilities and more.
By the Numbers
• 100 FOIA items added each month
• Comprehensive statistics on more than 250 countries and entities
• Unknown number of classified information
Amazon - the world's biggest retail store, maintains extensive records on its 59 million active customers including general personal information (phone number address, etc), receipts, wishlists, and virtually any sort of data the website can extract from its users while they are logged on. Amazon also keeps more than 250,000 full text books available online and allows users to comment and interact on virtually every page of the website, making Amazon one of the world's largest online communities.
This data coupled with millions of items in inventory Amazon sells each year -- and the millions of items in inventory Amazon associates sell -- makes for one very large database. Amazon's two largest databases combine for more than 42 terabytes of data, and that's only the beginning of things. If Amazon published the total number of databases they maintain and volume of data each database contained, the amount of data we know Amazon houses would increase substantially.
But still, you say 42 terabytes, that doesn't sound like so much. In relative terms, 42 terabytes of data would convert to 37 trillion forum posts.
By the Numbers
• 59 million active customers
• More than 42 terabytes of data
YouTube-After less than two years of operation YouTube has amassed the largest video library (and subsequently one of the largest databases) in the world. YouTube currently boasts a user base that watches more than 100 million clips per day accounting for more than 60% of all videos watched online.
In August of 2006, the Wall Street Journal projected YouTube's database to the sound of 45 terabytes of videos. While that figure doesn't sound terribly high relative to the amount of data available on the internet, YouTube has been experiencing a period of substantial growth (more than 65,000 new videos per day) since that figures publication, meaning that YouTube's database size has potentially more than doubled in the last 5 months.
Estimating the size of YouTube's database is particularly difficult due to the varying sizes and lengths of each video. However if one were truly ambitious (and a bit forgiving) we could project that the YouTube database will expect to grow as much as 20 terabytes of data in the next month.
Given: 65,000 videos per day X 30 days per month = 1,950,000 videos per month; 1 terabyte = 1,048,576 megabytes. If we assume that each video has a size of 1MB, YouTube would expect to grow 1.86 terabytes next month. Similarly, if we assume that each video has a size of 10MB, YouTube would expect to grow 18.6 terabytes next month.
By the Numbers
• 100 million videos watched per day
• 65,000 videos added each day
• 60% of all videos watched online
• At least 45 terabytes of videos
ChoicePoint
Imagine having to search through a phone book containing a billion pages for a phone number. When the employees at ChoicePoint want to know something about you, they have to do just that. If printed out, the ChoicePoint database would extend to the moon and back 77 times.
ChoicePoint is in the business of acquiring information about the American population -- addresses and phone numbers, driving records, criminal histories, etc., ChoicePoint has it all. For the most part, the data found in ChoicePoint's database is sold to the highest bidders, including the American government.
But how much does ChoicePoint really know? In 2002 ChoicePoint was able to help authorities solve a serial rapist case in Philadelphia and Fort Collins after producing a list of 6 potential suspects by data mining their DNA and personal records databases. In 2001 ChoicePoint was able to identify the remains of World Trade Center victims by matching DNA found in bone fragments to the information provided by victim's family members in conjunction to data found in their databases.
By the Numbers

Sprint - is one of the world's largest telecommunication companies as it offers mobile services to more than 53 million subscribers, and prior to being sold in May of 2006, offered local and long distance land line packages.
Large telecommunication companies like Sprint are notorious for having immense databases to keep track of all of the calls taking place on their network. Sprint's database processes more than 365 million call detail records and operational measurements per day. The Sprint database is spread across 2.85 trillion database rows making it the database with the largest number of rows (data insertions if you will) in the world. At its peak, the database is subjected to more than 70,000 call detail record insertions per second.

• At peak, 70,000 call detail record insertions per second
Goggle - Although there is not much known about the true size of Google's database (Google keeps their information locked away in a vault that would put Fort Knox to shame), there is much known about the amount of and types of information Google collects.
On average, Google is subjected to 91 million searches per day, which accounts for close to 50% of all internet search activity. Google stores each and every search a user makes into its databases. After a years worth of searches, this figure amounts to more than 33 trillion database entries. Depending on the type of architecture of Google's databases, this figure could comprise hundreds of terabytes of information.
Google is also in the business of collecting information on its users. Google combines the queries users search for with information provided by the Google cookies stored on a user's computer to create virtual profiles.
To top it off, Google is currently experiencing record expansion rates by assimilating into various realms of the internet including digital media (Google Video, YouTube), advertising (Google Ads), email (GMail), and more. Essentially, the more Google expands, the more information their databases will be subjected to.
In terms of internet databases, Google is king.
By the Numbers
• 91 million searches per day
• accounts for 50% of all internet searches
• Virtual profiles of countless number of users
AT&T - Similar to Sprint, the United States' oldest telecommunications company AT&T maintains one of the world's largest databases. Architecturally speaking, the largest AT&T database is the cream of the crop as it boasts titles including the largest volume of data in one unique database (312 terabytes) and the second largest number of rows in a unique database (1.9 trillion), which comprises AT&T's extensive calling records.
The 1.9 trillion calling records include data on the number called, the time and duration of the call and various other billing categories. AT&T is so meticulous with their records that they've maintained calling data from decades ago -- long before the technology to store hundreds of terabytes of data ever became available. Chances are, if you're reading this have made a call via AT&T, the company still has all of your call's information.
By the Numbers
• 323 terabytes of information
• 1.9 trillion phone call records
National Energy Research Scientific Computing Center - The second largest database in the world belongs to the National Energy Research Scientific Computing Center (NERSC) in Oakland, California. NERSC is owned and operated by the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and the U.S. Department of Energy. The database is privy to a host of information including atomic enegry research, high energy physics experiements, simulations of the early universe and more. Perhaps our best bet at traveling back in time is to fire up NERSC's supercomputers and observe the big bang.
The NERSC database encompasses 2.8 petabytes of information and is operated by more than 2,000 computational scientists. To put the size of NERSC into perspective, the total amount of spoken words in the history of humanity is estimated to be at 5 exabytes; in relative terms, the NERSC database is equivalent to 0.055% of the size of that figure.
Although that may not seem a lot at first glance, when you factor in that 6 billion humans around the globe speak more than 2,000 words a day, the sheer magnitude of that number becomes apparent.

World Data Centre for Climate - If you had a 35 million euro super computer lying around what would you use it for? The stock market? Building your own internet? Try extensive climate research -- if there's a machine out there that has the answer for global warming, this one might be it. Operated by the Max Planck Institute for Meteorology and German Climate Computing Centre, The World Data Centre for Climate (WDCC) is the largest database in the world.
The WDCC boasts 220 terabytes of data readily accessible on the web including information on climate research and anticipated climatic trends, as well as 110 terabytes (or 24,500 DVD's) worth of climate simulation data. To top it off, six petabytes worth of additional information are stored on magnetic tapes for easy access. How much data is six petabyte you ask? Try 3 times the amount of ALL the U.S. academic research libraries contents combined.

- Additional Databases - The following databases were unique (and massive) in their own right, and just fell short of the cut on our top 10 list.
Nielsen Media Research / Nielsen Net Ratings
Best known for its television audience size and composition rating abilities, the U.S. firm Nielsen Media Research is in the business of measuring mass-media audiences including television, radio, print media, and the internet. The database required to process such statistics as Google's daily internet searches is nothing short of massive.
United States Customs - database is unique in that it requires information on hundreds of thousands of people and objects entering and leaving the United States borders instantaneously. For this to be possible, the database was special programmed to process queries near instantaneously.
HPSS - There are various databases around the world using technology similar to that found in our countdown's second largest database NERSC. The technology is known as High Performance Storage System or HPSS. Several other massive HPSS databases include Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, Sandia National Laboratories, Los
