I'm Not a Conspiracy Theorist...

...never have been, and never will be.  I've known people that are, and they are either easily brainwashed, or simply mentally ill.



However, some things do intrigue me.  The real things that happen, that we may not always be aware of.



Since my very early teens, I have always been somewhat fascinated with all things 'electronic' that fall into the realms of "rogue"...

[Jeff Spicoli]

THIS is what I'm talking about!

Room 641A is a telecommunication interception facility operated by AT&T for the U.S. National Security Agency that commenced operations in 2003 and was exposed in 2006.



This room is fed signals from fibre optic "beam splitters."  Essentially, any traffic fed through fibre optics can be "redirected" into this room, without compromising the original signal to the end user.



No warrant, no permission, no oversight required.

Snowden exposed a lot of the capabilities, but it's nothing new...



When Vinny bought DV, he said to me that they don't need a warrant to intercept your shit.  You won't even know when they do!



He was right also!



Snowden did expose many of the "tricks of the trade"...



I LOVE this kind of shit!  If my brain worked properly from when I was a youth, I would have most likely pursued a career towards this path!



I'm almost certain my Mother drank while she was pregnant.



Anyhow!  This is what I like to see!  The "James Bond" spy has simply been replaced with people doing the exact same thing, but electronically!



I love it!

For people reading this, it's known as PRISM.  Not only do they intercept, they record and store.



Canada has gone to great lengths to ensure the communication privacy of Canadians including keeping telecom routing in Canada rather than picking up cheaper routes in the US.

I guess this thread was deemed unfit for the main board?  Oh well!



RW, Canada belongs to the "Five Eyes."  What that is, is a pact between the US, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and the UK.  Each shares info with one another freely.

They even managed to tap Angela Merkel's phones for 10 years!  SINISTER!



She called Obummer and told him "it's not nice to spy on friends."

I'm OK I guess, all things considered!



You've caught me at a rare time, as I haven't been drinking yet!



Just came back from Ford to have some recall work done.  Turns out the Mustang had one of those faulty Takada airbag inflators, which has killed something like 11 people so far.  So, to the dismay of many posters here, my airbag will no longer kill me!

Any thread that starts out with you yapping at yourself is unfit for the main board.



If it turns out to be worthwhile.....it can always be moved back.

Go to hell, you useless twat!

Well that seals it. I guess it stays in tardville.

Good!



How else could you chronically attack me and my character by leaving threads like this on the main board?



Excellent Modding, Renee.  Kudos, to all your hard work around here, keeping things "clean."

Was thinking your whole look is a conspiracy theory. If ya could lose the extra 50, might change your life. We all know you thrive on misery.
