Scope of "this" ?
- tedunangst 10y agoCIA ECHELON GOLD BOMB.
- samstave 10y agoSo, in about 1997 or so I inherited a network where we had a Cisco router connecting Silicon Valley to a remote office but didn't have the password, so I hired a Ccie to help unpack the network and reset the password to this device... So as we were working on the 3640, and we got the password out of it (which was "Feet4Monkey") he was telling me about how they (Cisco) was required to provide back-door access to the NSA Again this was in the late 90s, and everyone thought EChelon was bullshit.... The company he worked for had a logo and slogan: "get caught in our web" Some telling stuff but everyone thought we were loons when we talked about the spying. Then room 641A happened years later ....
- Nomentatus 10y agoThe thing is guys, I started complaining in the eighties. It was published knowledge back then, just not widely published. Being looked at as a loon back then didn't bother me. Being looked at as a loon POST-Snowden - and not infrequently - has really shaken me. People are choosing an alternate reality with alternate facts 'cause rose-colored glasses are just so much more comfortable.
- samstave 10y agoYeah - I was following echelon since about 88 - the 97 insight was just final confirmation I needed.... I have been modding /r/conspiracy for years. people think "oh conspiracy! so like 'bigfoot'?" -- uh, no government conspiracy/corruption/collusion... I didnt need snowden to tell me a thing, but I am sure glad he told everyone else.
