NSA abandons wondrous stuff

[acmejack]

I was checking out some inofrmation on NSA facilities & stumbled upon this article. It is pretty interesting if nothing else.

TRANSYLVANIA COUNTY, N.C. - Along the long, twisting road through the Pisgah National Forest, the first sign that something is out of the ordinary is a line of giant transformers. Then, around the bend, a barbed-wire fence, guard shack and surveillance cameras protect what looks like nothing more than another hill of trees and dense shrubbery.

It is anything but.

This is the entrance to one of the National Security Agency's former spy stations, a place shrouded in secrets and denials, the source of local lore that seems right out of "X-Files."

What is inside that giant geodesic dome that looks like a golf ball? Where do the tunnels snaking beneath the 202-acre site lead? Why are the rugs welded to the floors of the windowless buildings?

Few people have been beyond these gates, deep inside the Appalachian Mountains, 50 miles southwest of Asheville.

3. It is amazing the stuff the government develops, then abandons

When I was stationed in Hawaii, there were rumors of a vast underground "hive", interconnected with tunnels. Supposedly one ran from Diamond Head to the interior of the island. We found the entrance at Diamond Head but couldn't enter.

In a mountainside in Aiea we found another set of doors. We found a way in and came armed with flashlights. We roved dusty and abandoned tunnels for many hundreds of feet. There were offices and soundproof rooms and huge storage rooms. We never did trace all the tunnels out or take them their full length. (There was some concern over C02.)

I imagine that many veterans could share similar stories.

4. Our government has hidden many odd things from us for years...

Misdirecting us and flat out lying to us. Check some of these things out, that they've been doing to American people. You may be a victim of these people and not even know it.

This "RATS" website will not let me copy and paste, but it has some great information on the government's top secret insanity over the decades. There are some very shocking things here. Scroll all the way down the page and check out all the different subjects. Check out the gallery.

5. They fucked up the reason the rugs are welded down

It's called TEMPEST.

Everyone look at the manual for any computerized device. It's got an FCC warning in it about suppressing "harmful emanations" from your computer.

If you have a seriously bad-ass receiver, like my friend the Watkins-Johnson 8618A*



you can intercept the harmful emanations coming out of a computer and figure out what the computer's operator is typing out.

To prevent the bad guys from doing this, you shield either the equipment or the building. It's actually cheaper to shield the building, because when you do you can just go to Best Buy and purchase computers right off the shelf--as opposed to buying the really outdated crap TEMPEST vendors charge 2x the price for.

* My wife is under standing orders: if we ever win the Powerball, her very first task after she pays off all the bills is to get on eBay and find me one of these radios--and I don't give a shit what it costs. A new one was $40,000, so a 25-year-old used one's gotta be a little cheaper.
