Bromhead, Peter, 1933-:"Who said the mining industry was dead?". 16 June 2013

Date: 2013

From: Bromhead, Peter, 1933- :Digital cartoons

By: Herald on Sunday (Newspaper)

Reference: DCDL-0025201

Description: A man with a globe for his head, most likely representing the global community, sits at a computer and frowns. A figure of Uncle Sam holding a pick axe labelled, 'PRISM' stands on a stool and lifts up the back of a computer monitor, kicking the exposed computer chips. Uncle Sam asks, "Who said the mining industry was dead?" Behind him, a smaller figure in a hat, trench coat and sunglasses, labelled, GCSB, hangs onto Uncle Sam's coat tails. Refers to a clandestine mass electronic surveillance data mining program known as PRISM, operated by the United States National Security Agency (NSA) since 2007. Details of the PRISM programme were leaked to the media in June 2013. Prime Minister John Key has categorically denied that the GCSB, or Government Communications Security Bureau, uses the United States' PRISM data-gathering network to spy on Kiwis. Uncle Sam is an iconic personification of the United States government. (3 News, 11 June 2013) Quantity: 1 digital cartoon(s).
