Bad news......GWB is the Grinch.
Friend Nigel calls.......
Nigel has.......''intelligence'' experience......
Nigel is a leftie.....and passionate about most things in life. He is still looking for the pill that will turn off that passion.......Poor bastard.
He is in the web-design biz, and his wife is a graphic designer. His passions and her practicalities have brought some strains to the relationship....but, ultimately, Nigel is the consummate technician. He drives an Alfa Romeo....need I say more? His job in Vietnam was to make sure that the head of the KGB's car wouldn't start first-time every morning.......''Click.........'' I asked him how that was possible. His reply: ''They were paying security $50 a year and political platitudes.....I was paying $50 a minute.....and babes!"
Every time Nigel left town, his computers would crash. His wife was first annoyed, then began to think it was a relationship issue.....at a time when Nigel could ill afford relationship issues. As a technical purist, he was seriously irritated. Turns out that the problem was the big tape connector to their hard drives was a little loose. Could happen....they lived outside Pasadena, in a quaky type area. After the second time, when Nigel had screwed down the inputs like you have to on an Alfa......he realized that he was getting swept by THEM. Guys were coming in when he was out of town, unplugging his hard-drives, sweeping his drives....and (being dumbshit GM guys), not rigorously screwing down the connections when they left. This is three years ago.
Nigel is a passionate guy, but not a criminal or a rebel. He is, in fact, a patriot. In a purer world, he would be a Republican.....advocate of free enterprise, a fan of market forces, huge fan of technology, etc.
So, today.....he gave me the inside update on The InEbriate-in-Chief's Extra-Legal spy policy: Our Feckless Leader is not just reading the mail of a few hundred Arab suspects who have contacted other suspicious Arab suspects........the NSA is sweeping EVERYTHING, looking for keywords.....all 280 million of us...all phone calls, all emails, everything. That new Morrocan restaurant is the BOMB! Start a file, Jim!......
Nigel's suggestion......use every keyword you can think of in every communication. Overwhelm the system.
For example...his comment on my ''Flambée'' post: C-4, explosives, Vietnam.......
So.......Freedom, ACLU, Black Panthers, Chechnya, terrorism, IRA, Democrats, SDS, gelignite, electrical banana,....
