The NSA is Neat!

Tim Knight from Slope of Hope's picture




 

I saw this on the front page of the esteemed Palo Alto Daily Post this morning:

1104-NSA

Soooooo.........they want to seduce Stanford Graduates (who might otherwise be foolish enough to strike it rich with stock options at some overvalued startup, or live the life of casual luxury at Facebook) to work for the NSA because they'd get to do..........some "neat stuff"?

Sure, it would be neat. Maybe the gang could stop by the malt shop and grab a pop and a burger! We wouldn't want to be late to the sock hop at the gym tonight and spin a few platters. I heard there might even be some necking afterwards!

Anachronistic language notwithstanding, I think Matt Damon had the NSA all figured out nearly twenty years ago.........

Tim knight - I appreciate the exposure you're giving this. I do have a suggestion re. The youtube imbed. Provide a seperate link because in my case, the special advertiser content sits on most of the rightmost half of the imbed. I can't for example hit the open in youtube widget because that's obscurred as well.

I wonder if he informs them of Article 3, Section 3, and its ramifications on their lives and futures if they join the Executive Order created, and therefore Unconstitutional, agency which commits treason against the American people on a daily basis?!

An American, not US subject.

Be thankful for the fact that the NSA will only ever appeal to those with limited intelligence and a need to follow orders because they cannot think independently or critically. This leaves the NSA at a constant disadvantage

that I rather appreciate. If it ain't broke don't fix it, Z/H. ;|

You guys missed that Neat has made a comeback...my musician cohorts in Austin are using it...along with Groovy...

Of course, NSA knows that, so joke is on us that don't get to analyze and store every text,, email and cell phone conversation in Amerika. We're way behind the curve.

And it's super duper when you go on the run for telling the public what they should already know!

Oh, I don't think working at the NSA could be so bad.

Hell, you get to work with neat sounding codename projects like 'Finfisher' and 'Stingray', and sometimes you get to inject keylogging programs on your enemies' P.C.s  (and turn on their computer cameras and microphones and watch their reactions as you move their mouse pointers all over the screen and open all kinds of files while they scramble to unplug the damned thing). Think of the fun, as you gather lists of people who have sex with Heads-Of-State!

Download child porn to people who your bosses want to lock up, in spam email attachments. Coordinate with central banks and the CIA. All KINDS of 'neat stuff'...

Even 'blue-collar' workers are needed to build massive facilities to store every byte and every bit of every digital transmission that has been or ever will be made (just in case, you know).

All you have to do to qualify for the job is... SELL YOUR SOUL. The rest is EASY!

God help us! Americans should be concerned because we are slowly being stripped of our freedoms. Not only is big-brother watching he is leaning on us big time. We have reached the point that we are becoming afraid to carry any sum of money fearing the police might take it if they just happen to stop us for a burned out taillight.

This is beginning to look like the society we have read about the totalitarian society of Oceania described in George Orwell's novel Nineteen Eighty-Four. In Orwell's novel, all citizens of Oceania are monitored by cameras and are fed fabricated news stories by the government. More on this subject in the article below.

Hate to say it folks, but those grads will beat a path to the NSA's door. Their advanced education doesn't mean that any of them know what a Constitutional Republic is supposed to be.

CORRECTION:

Their 'advanced education' INSURES that they don't know what a Constitutional Republic is (was).

I like the look on the face of the broad-shouldered bald guy in the suit as he stares at the turncoat 'navy' guy.

He's thinking to himself, 'You arrogant ignorant ass-kissing old queenie puppet! You'd BETTER not say the wrong thing, or I'll rip your dick off and shove it down your throat!'

The guy in the clown suit is not, most likely, the one in charge.

But, I am to understand that if I work for a big Wall Street bank I would be doing God's work.  Man, tough decisions.  Tough decisions.

"give you the opportunity to do some neat stuff, things you probably aren't going to be able to do anywhere else"

You can still do them, you just won't have immunity to being arrested thrown in jail for 20 years and possibly executed.

Well, gosh darn it. 

Isn't it swell that the NSA is so interested in me?  They're watching over me every second of the day to make sure that, if I go astray, they will be able to promptly guide me back to the fold.  These foolish delays and disapearing pop-ups on my computer are just neat little gimmicks to speed my harmless internet searches. 

Having my own little private chat on mschat with 'NSAGUY' was really neato-keeno when I was messaging my son in Afghanistan that we should drop nukes every ten miles starting in Syria and march them east until we run out.

His admonition to watch my speech on the interwebs was taken with the full american ideals of truth, justice and the american way.  While he didn't see it, that I know of, I even saluted him in a grand old fashion.

Son applied to work with the NSA...he's been in Afghanistan going into his thirteenth year introducing Americanism into such backward people.  Each time he comes home he mentions that my meandering path through the interwebs takes me off the straight and narrow and he gets missives to gently adjust my behavior.  It's so bitchin' that they care so much!

Not sure what the worry is though, I simply profess the old time cures to larceny, traitorous acts, official fraud and other crimes...hanging, guillotine, piano wire pinatas...or simple lead poisoning for approximately 90% of all government 'leaders' and workers.

 

[I don't think a /sarc is necessary.]

If the NSA is neat, then the Federal Reserve must be swell.
