The latest illustration of just how far off of the reservation that the control freaks who run the surveillance state have now wandered we have the story of a government surveillance satellite (secret of course) being launched into space with a bizarre logo of a gargantuan earth-devouring octopus on it. Underneath the monstrosity that is wrapping it's tentacles around the globe is the slogan "Nothing is Beyond Our Reach". I must admit that the first time I saw this story and logo yesterday that I thought that it had to be some sort of satirical website, perhaps from The Onion or The Borowitz Report but alas it is real and the worst thing that one can probably say out it is that it really is not in the least bit surprising. This is what happens when you have a freak like General Keith Alexander , an admitted hard core Star Trek junkie running the NSA. One can only imagine just how many other truly dangerous geeks are peppered throughout the intelligence, surveillance and military colossus that seems to seek out and cultivate these creepy personality types.
The spy satellite, NROL-39 is another 'in your face' example of the fully run amok planetary blight of creeping fascism that rose like some malevolent evil spirit from the smoldering ruins of the World Trade Center and became a multi-billion dollar industry that was all sold to Americans on the premise of keeping them safe. Over twelve years later we are no safer than on September 10, 2001 and arguably less so courtesy of the endless Middle Eastern wars where U.S. murder of civilians, torture and other war crimes are radicalizing the next generation of jihadists who arguably are justified in their hatred of the Great Satan. Not only are we less safe from future 'terrorists' who will one day act against Americans they are hardly the greatest threat that we face today. The ongoing construction of the massive police state and the surveillance of everything now has rendered any concepts of privacy to the historical dustbin and are accumulating more power daily thanks to the fine traitors in congress, specifically Senator Dianne Feinstein (DiFi), fascist House Intelligence Committee boss Mike Rogers and an array of other on the surveillance industry dole whores in high places. Right now all that it will truly take to turn this country into a full blown totalitarian state is that one incident that the NSA and their political allies can use to flip the switch and begin generating the pickup lists. Let the inquisitions begin. Sadly the vast majority of Americans can't be bothered with the ramifications of such unchecked power, there are ball games and reality shows that take precedent.
The National Reconnaissance Office which falls within the dominion of the Office of National Intelligence which is led by none other than the serial liar James Clapper was quite proud of their new toy and made no attempt to downplay what in a sane society would be a serious public relations blunder. According to Forbes online a spokesperson for the agency defended the logo invoking the tired and vomitous hogwash talking point of "protecting our nation":
“NROL-39 is represented by the octopus, a versatile, adaptable, and highly intelligent creature. Emblematically, enemies of the United States can be reached no matter where they choose to hide.”
“‘Nothing is beyond our reach’ defines this mission and the value it brings to our nation and the warfighters it supports, who serve valiantly all over the globe, protecting our nation.”
The office of The Clapper was so excited that it spent much time on Thursday sending out "tweets" like a horny teenager on the launching of this obscene and expensive addition to the arsenal of tyranny into space. The delusional geeks within the bureaucracy and its network contractor satellites along with the war party over at The Pentagon have long had their eyes set on the domination of space, the only thing that limits them at this point is technology but that is rapidly changing. With visionaries like this effectively running th we are not the benevolent Federation led by the swashbuckling Captains James T. Kirk and Jean Luc Picard but rather the Klingons or Romulans or some other malevolent universe plundering menace. Once the enslavement and control of the populace of the planet has been completed there are other worlds to conquer.
