[spam][crazy] thoughts on infiltration (automated or manual)
by Undescribed Horrific Abuse, One Victim & Survivor of Many 13 Jul '23

are you a homeless hacker mysteriously targeted by a military spy agency? well, take notes! this is high-value classified shit you’re experiencing, - defend trust paths aggressively it seems like once you have a foot in the door it’s very important to defend that foot. even if the reason somebody believes it is totally bogus, make that bogus thing reality if need be. send things in to make sure that foot is never kicked it, and keep up the chatter so the story keeps the door open. this does indeed make a mysterious situation where everybody does irrational things and is scared to talk about it, but it works!

"If confirmed I will not weaken encryption for Americans," Haugh Fuck you and the USG jackass you rode in on, Ronny. The NSA is Gay.
