@emptywheel Personal communication. -
@Dymaxion WOWOWOWOW. But then, that explains a lot. -
@emptywheel Yup. Jesus christ. I want my fucking money back now, these guys are apes. -
@Dymaxion@emptywheel There's something missing. I'm having a really hard time believing this (tho don't doubt source). -

@Dymaxion@emptywheel Or maybe even entirely separate, maybe largely unknown org (as NSA used to be). However, I can kind of believe.. -

@joanneleon@emptywheel Nope, no other org. And NSA became primarily focused on the Internet as the core of their future mission in 1990. -
