Been thinking about our NSA guy

[MynameisBlarney]

When he was still in the military, he had a command center outfitted to look like the bridge of the USS Enterprise.
It strikes me as very odd that someone so into Star Trek would have no qualms about violating the Prime Directive.
If he was living in the Star Trek universe, he'd have been court martialed.

1. The CIA and the NSA are heavy into psychological cues and manipulations

Now we know someone in the EPA that was supposed to look into Global Warming was posing as a CIA agent, ripped us off for millions, and lived the high life by never even going to work. Meanwhile, we learn that our "benefactors" of fossil fuels, that ship billions of barrels of crude to outfits that refine it such as those like our last President and cronies refineries, were likely protected and flown out of the US on our dime under the protection of our government.

A bunch of things are coming to light lately, including the fact that we are being spied upon that come together. This isn't a hate of any one particular person in government. It's a fact that our government pretty much hates us.

10. You have a good point. The star trek bridge was used as a prop..

When he was running the Army's Intelligence and Security Command, Alexander brought many of his future allies down to Fort Belvoir for a tour of his base of operations, a facility known as the Information Dominance Center. It had been designed by a Hollywood set designer to mimic the bridge of the starship Enterprise from Star Trek, complete with chrome panels, computer stations, a huge TV monitor on the forward wall, and doors that made a "whoosh" sound when they slid open and closed. Lawmakers and other important officials took turns sitting in a leather "captain's chair" in the center of the room and watched as Alexander, a lover of science-fiction movies, showed off his data tools on the big screen.

"Everybody wanted to sit in the chair at least once to pretend he was Jean-Luc Picard," says a retired officer in charge of VIP visits.

2. Alexander should be ceremonially shunned: stripped of honor and severely reduced in social status

3. He should be flogged for making a mockery of the enterprise bridge...whosh whoosh

They did a terrible job on the design. It looks more austin powers than star trek.



Thats just fugly.
