Once, I was in a restaurant in Russia, having
a conversation with an American woman who
told me that her son was in Naval intelligence,
and described how he complained that it took
hours to decrypt communications from Cuba.
I wondered how spies were ever done in by
proud mothers and their bragging, bless them.
My first job interview out of college was with
the National Security Agency, in Fort Meade,
Maryland. A lot of college kids didn't want to
interview there, because they asked about drug
under polygraph,and most of the kids had used
pot. I hadn't, so I was deterred, but being a naive
kid at the time, I didn't realize that they were
also on an anti-gay witchhunt worse than the
U.S. military, and were going to ask about sexual
orientation, under polygraph. This place
was paranoid about gays because of some
very poorly-founded allegations (more
like scapegoating) that some secrets had been
lost to to the Russians because of a couple gay
agents. Being the bigots that they were, they blamed
all gay people, of course. It was a situation a bit
like racist white bigots in the South lynching black
men on flimsy evidence that they had raped a white
woman (or whistled at one).
Actually, I think that it wasn't really about security
concerns, but just part of the rat-poison hatred that
saturates this entire society and planet to its marrow.
I really hated the guy who did the interview.
By the end, I just wanted to slug him.
As a delayed reaction, my heart started pounding
by the time they got to the part about "have you
ever met with enemy agents of foreign countries"?
They later concluded that I was "nervous" and
wanted to fly me from Cleveland back out to Forte
Mead to retake the test. I declined and said that
I had already taken another job. They asked
where, and I declined to tell them.
I was shocked to hear the claim that Cuba could
be so backward, to have such poor encryption.
If they knew what they were doing, there would
be no problem of decrypting the communications
in a few hours- no one would not decrypt it, any
time between now and the thermodynamic heat
death of the universe.
If I really wanted revenge, it would take about
20 minutes to make that a reality, but have no
fear. I would never consider such a thing, because
Cuba is even more homophobic. I might have had
some sympathy for Cuba, as an underdog, knowing
how the U.S. launched sleazy, covert, biological
attacks repeated against he country- all covered up
and unknown to American sheep-citizens, of course,
just like everything else is covered up.
Cuba has more than a few good microbiologists of
their own by now. I imagine that there must be
some people bitter about how their country was
beaten down. Who knows, they might even try
to retaliate in kind with biowar- after all, the U.S.
was always paranoid that Cubans may have assassinated
Kennedy in retaliation for attempts on Castro's life.
Probably, in view of this, and memory of the Cuban
missile crisis, the U.S really needs to keep tabs on
Cuba, just like many other endless enemies that
our country has managed to create.
But, as I say, fear not- Cuba blew any possible
sympathy when I read, for example, how Che Guevara
used to kill gay people if he found any among his
own band.
We are the Jews of the world, the niggers to the blacks,
the kikes to the Jews. We will be to World War III
what blacks were to the American Civil War, and
what Jews were to World War II. The heart and
soul of what is going on, the key reflection of the
hatred and corruption that leads the human race
to its near-demise.
