1. This is so funny

You should see my FBI file from the 1970s. The FOIA request took me almost a dozen years to get the whole thing.

Now, they want my emails.

Oh, take them, you flatulent fucks. Take them all.

6. They liked me as well back then...

They really weren't that bright.

I was a dumbassed kid with a big mouth who carried Dump Dick signs here and there. Just a small piece of a larger movement.

I doubt things have changed that much.

7. Well,

I was representing Black Panthers.

We probably have identical files, though.

heh heh heh

11. I'm sure they were much better off with you...

I probably would have gotten some of them blown up by angry...

er...


Never mind.

2. But it's legal to mine e-mails.

Any digital message -- e-mail, instant messaging, forum posts, etc. -- is exempt from federal wiretap regulations as long as it is even temporarily stored on a server other than the user's personal computer.

8. And, let us not forget:

SPAM!

This is how NSA workers get really big penises.

And great mortgage rates.

3. Generate thousands upon thousands of encrypted poems, fairy

tales and gibberish. Send them out to dozens and dozens of recipients. Make them work them puters for all they're worth. Think of it as stirring up the bottom of a river and then trying to see the fish you are after. Why they need to target American citizens is beyond my understanding.

4. Is this why some of my emails are taking days to arrive?? n/t

5. Seems like there oughta be some way of doing the equivalent of......

... google-bombing their data collection stuff....

9. When end users state they aren't receiving their

email.

I respond - "The Government isn't done reading them yet."

10. No doubt they have someone monitoring this site

7/24 and there is bound to be a lot of our screen names on their list
