—“Do you work with the NSA ?”—

Nope. And I don’t know much of anything about them. I know mostly about wargaming prior to 92 wall coming down, the buildup of humint in response to gulf wars, and post 92 emphases on the problem of doing that, and post 2000 methods and tech.

It’s not glamorous. Not like the movies. Sales and intel are similar biz.

When I tell people I think of tech sales like intelligence agencies I’m not kidding. It’s really the same job. Seriously. Personable nerds on sales calls, so that they can get into the minds of world leaders and influencers. The difference is you’re not (usually) lying in sales. 😉

(Forgot to mention that for a long time I belonged to an informal group that wrote plans for taking over countries. Humor is, one did was Hungary and while working on it discovered it was very close to what EU bankers had done. Russia was in the process of doing the same to ukraine. Internet ruined all that. We used to be bored so we did cool stuff. Now everyone socializes, larps and makes youtube videos. lol )
