Inside The Matrix

[baltoro]

In this month's Wired Magazine (April 2012) is an extremely disturbing article by: James Bamford
The NSA Is Building the Country's Biggest Spy Center
The information provided by the author is more frightening and oppressive than anything ever revealed by Julian Assange or any of the contributors to WikiLeaks.

great - spending more money that we don't have
i guess we are all just batteries, eh ?
i am a D cell, how about you ? - lol

[baltoro]

DAVE !!!
...Have contacted Mexican Drug Cartel engineers about excavating a TOP SECRET tunnel all the way to UTAH.
Can we lease a portion of your backyard for our nefarious activities ???
Could be fun,... :eek
Planning to build a theme park to disguise our true intentions,...

[dedndave]

well - even the secret service would be powerless in my backyard (Z calls it "our garden")
i don't think there is any force in the universe stronger than crab-grass - lol
i was trying to find a way to use it for secret communications with my buddy in Tuscon   :P

[hutch--]

Dave,  the trick is to find the average frequency of a given light intensity on the crab grass then bounce it to a satellite and back to your buddy. All you need is a way to map the reflective index at time of broadcast and launch a satellite of your own.  :P

[dedndave]

you're overthinking it, Hutch
i was thinking more along the lines of a tin-can telephone   :P
or maybe a mechanical version of morse code
i swear when i pull on the roots, someone in Tuscon is pulling back
3 tugs means - let's meet at the pub
4 tugs means - the wife ain't going for it

[hutch--]

Nah, I don't think the security would be good enough, can you imagine some Revenuer with his ear to the ground or worse, holding onto a piece of crab grass trying to find out where your moonshine still is ? They would have you sitting on a street corner trying to solicit buyers for a new flavour of Arizona White Lightning.  :P

[dedndave]

 :lol

sittin on da curb wid ma 40

(translation: sitting on the curb with my 40 oz bottle of beer)

Thinking about it, living in Arizona gives you some interesting options. While good corn may be a bit hard to come by out that way but you may be able to cultivate some Agave plants and knock up a brew local to the area that rivals tequila. Find a few native herbs that make it go green and you could sell it as "Doctor Dave's New Herbal Remedy". Now that would give those revenuers hell.  :bg

[dedndave]

that kind of thing grows wild here - lol
other stuff, too - the indians have a monopoly on that stuff
claim it's for religious ceremonies and all that

You're going to need a few 'Jigga' Watts of power to do that... powering each blade of grass, in a phased array can be a power hungry affair... :wink

[dedndave]

basic implementations of phased antennas require no power   :P

as for them spying on me, which was what the original post was about...
i figure we can all give them something to watch
i am sure they use a list of phrases to key on
so - we just intermix some key words with our assembly language code   :bg

Code Select Expand

BOMB    TYPEDEF DWORD
EMBASSY TYPEDEF LPSTR
CELL    TEXTEQU <PROC>

Yeah, the hard part really is the satellite but then living in the US and having a few connections in the military, NASA or the JPL you may be able to sneak past some software that maps the non-cactus vegetation in Arizona and sends it back to a predefined location or two which would establish a channel of communication that they could not be bothered even finding, I mean who in the space race gives a PHUK about a moonshine still in Arizona making a specialised local Indian recipe that is bottled as a health tonic.

Now thinking about it, it may be more of a problem than you think, the old Russian space program was reputed to run on Vodka, both in and out of the rockets and as the US would never allow itself to be upstaged by the old Soviet, a new generation of space shuttle may be willing to run on Dave's special formula of Arizona Tequila, especially if its laced with Mescalin. Now if the star wars technology ever gets going again (Ronny Raygun's version) then if the baddies try and chase you around the cosmos you can dump a trail of nano-particles behind you laced with a freeze dried version of Dave's formula and they will end up so zonked that they fly into the sun and your guys can pick up the mining rights to the asteroid belt and make a killing.

Now you would have to contractually tie them to a minor percentage of the mining rights, say 1 tenth of 1% and spend you billions in the Bahamas while running your world empire by mobile phone from your own super liner.

[dedndave]

next, you guys will have the FDA involved
you think the CIA or NSA is bad - the FDA is actually the one that runs the gov't - lol
we'll be in real trouble, then

[vanjast]

ah!!! the legal drug dealers.. we forgot about them  :green2

Thinking tranmission.. :8)
