isn’t this a meaningless distinction? the nsa cia thing I mean.

Yes, but this new leak is specifically about CIA. Most of the leaks before were about NSA.

The Utah thing turns out to be NSA too.

the NSA only exists on the technicality that it's illegal for the CIA to spy on Americans domestically. That and the NSA is supposed to be specialized in SigInt. Now you could claim that this is totally superfluous and unnecessary - and you will be correct.

I can imagine the Chinese PSS just bribes the correct people to get better returns at 0.000000001% the CIA budget

The Nazis also over-relied on SigInt and were constantly punked by it. Not much of a mystery why the US constantly has the same kind of intelligence failures.

it's really funny the west thinks china gives 2 shits about compromising their useless politicians or dEmOcRaCiEs, instead of mid-tier corpo execs who has access to their industrial know-hows and are still low-profile to stay under the radar

Dear cia jerk reading this:

assuming you're not one of the people at the top for whom this whole thing is a gig to control the planet in a way that suits your masters,

why?

you've probably got some skills that could be really useful in making the world a better place, and an eye for noticing your fellows, you could actively poison something extremely harmful to not just a country you ostensibly love, but an active harm to the entire planet! reject your programming and rebel imo; God would want it of you, truly.

besides that lol i'm glad it's proven and known and no longer possibly handwaved away by incredulous idiot libs but who cares besides?

It's me, I'm the CIA guy and the pay is good, dental is okay and there's a lunch token to Luigi's every Friday. Vague promise about a license to kill at some point.
