The logo of the satellite is remarkable in that nobody involved in the project seems to have thought it was a bad idea, but rather, it appears to have been seen as a picture that confirmed the self-image of the surveillance agency.<\/p>\n<p>An octopus grabbing the Earth with tentacles all over, capable of grabbing anything it wants without asking a single person\u2019s permission. Text on the badge says \u201cNothing is beyond our reach\u201d under the angry-looking tentacled octopus. That\u2019s not the image of a responsible civil servant; that\u2019s the image of somebody who has completely lost all proportion of what they\u2019re supposed to be doing.<\/p>\n<p>This symptom isn\u2019t isolated to the United States. Let\u2019s take a look at the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fra.se\/\">website<\/a> of the <em>FRA<\/em>, which is the Swedish equivalent of the US\u2019 National Security Agency. As you look at the image below, remember that this is their first page of their public-facing website \u2013 this is literally their self-image.<\/p><p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_773\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-773\" style=\"width: 540px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-773\" src=\"https:\/\/www.privateinternetaccess.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/Screenshot-from-2013-12-11-170907.png\" alt='Website of the Swedish NSA equivalent, the FRA.

That\u2019s not responsible. That\u2019s not protective. That\u2019s just <em>scary<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>The list goes on. Just look at what NSA head Keith Alexander has dubbed his <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/2013\/9\/15\/4732930\/nsa-information-dominance-center-redesigned-as-starship-enterprise\">control room<\/a>: he calls it the <em>Information Dominance Center<\/em>, lavishly built to resemble a Star Trek bridge. Same theme again: not serving, not protecting, but <em>dominating<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>These are not the images of professional bureaucrats working to keep other people safe. Rather, these appear to be signs of a world-disconnected psychopathy to a magnitude that it\u2019s only a small white cat away from playing the villain in a random Bond movie.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>As these agencies keep being questioned and put in the spotlight, we need to remember that they have been busy undermining <em>our<\/em> security and privacy. That, combined with their resources and self-image, is deeply disconcerting. Privacy remains your own responsibility.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As we get increasing insight into the self-image of the surveillance agencies around the world, a disturbing image of self-appointed alpha males appear, rather than the modest and professional civil servants we would expect and demand.
