You people are so clueless you don't even know that Tor was created by the NSA. The spooks are
running more front companies than ever, and they spy on every telecommunications node in
existence. I just wonder how far they've gone in infiltrating Linux? The Linux "community" is
a model of stupidity and cluelessness, and your ignorance proves it.

TOR IS THE NSA

Posted Jul 10, 2008 11:41 UTC (Thu) by nix (subscriber, #2304) [Link]

I have a private intercom system between the upstairs and downstairs rooms 
of my house (why? because I could!)

It's nice to know that my belief that this system, which I built with my 
own hands, is not tapped by the NSA (nor even by GCHQ), is stupid and 
clueless.

(I wonder how they tapped it? Breaking into my house? Mystic alien-sourced 
government nanotech? Every node in existence, you said: and this one is 
definitely in existence. It's interesting that you say they spy on the 
millions of telecommunications devices sold so that mothers can hear if 
their babies cry, too: spotting the potential subversives young!)

(btw, look at the email addresses of the SELinux contributors sometime. 
The NSA don't need to `infiltrate': we let them participate just like 
everyone else, without needing to bother with all that cloak-and-dagger 
stuff. And their work makes Linux more secure for everyone, them as well 
as us. Sheesh.)
