Is nsa playing a joke?

[Mcupobob]

Okay so I like to check out conspiracy websites and have always been very skeptical of New world other and free mason and Illuminati and other such crap. But someone pointed out that if you type in Illuminati backwards into you're URL(don't forget the dot - com) it re-directs you to NSA.gov. Freaky right? Anyways, I don't think much of it, just thought I would share this tid-bit to the escapist.

for those to lazy to type it out.

It's probably just someone playing a joke on conspiracy theorists. I wouldn't imagine it would be too hard to get a url to redirect to another website.

That would be the practical joke of the century if it spread more. lol

Isn't the NSA a myth? One of those weird things whereby 99.9% of Americans think it exists, when in actuality, it doesn't?

Sure I read that somewhere...

I would imagine it's a redirect. The easiest website to make is the website that doesn't really exist but actually links to another.

Besides, I don't put much stock in words like the Illuminati as today anything that would be related to something akin to a conspiracy probably wouldn't have to do with the obvious ran down conspiracy terms.

I don't think they hand out .govs to mythical organizations.

I knew there was an explanation! Though I've been on the funny meds and been having a little insomnia because of dental surgery and the only answer I could come up with is that it was a joke on the NSA's part.

It's just some guy, he bought the domain and redirected it for a joke.

Funnily enough it's got some conspiracy nuts a bit interested.

Oh yeah, they all get in a big huff with the New world order stuff. I'm honestly worried about the amount of paranoia being spread by those people.

They can buy a domain name and if a government of any nation decideds that the organization is not real then they can and will tell the site owner to change the domain name. I could be wrong?

Hmmm. Maybe I'm thinking of something else then.

Maybe, you know I'm not 100% sure myself though the site is very official looking and all that. Though with todays amount of agencies the government has I wouldn't imagine it would be hard to just make one up and have people believe you.

Don't worry, the only people who listen to conspiracy nuts are other conspiracy nuts and people who are subconsciously willing to believe that kind of crap in the first place. It's like people who say they've been abducted by aliens/monsters/Father Christmas.

I think it's kind of sweet, you don't often see people who think the Government can actually pull off a conspiracy.

It seems that whenever the UK Government tries to keep something secret it fails miserably in under a year.

Not so much the UK Government but rather the lower branches of government run agencies. For example, the Police in the UK tends to leak like a sieve by leaving extremely important CDs and USB keys on trains and the like. However, when was the last time you heard about MI6 having a major leak?

If a government really wants to keep something secret, they will.

I do the exact same thing. It is honestly scary what some of these people believe and how they

create stories when they are wrong about how the conspiracy is an even BIGGER conspiracy.

Nutters really.

modernwarfare3.com redirected to battlefield 3's website.

COINCIDENCE? I THINK NOT.

Illuminati was actually just a club back in the 1700s by some dudes, and somehow it became friggin Cobra Command. someone is just screwing around and redirected the URL to NSA, after all why would they give themselves away if they were "Illuminati" even though they are nothing more than a law enforcement and national security agency.

Not exactly. For most of it's existence it was not officially acknowledged (at least not as an independent agency), some time in the 90s there was some disclosure about what it was. Basically it's just a sigint (signals intelligence) agency, and unlike the CIA lacks any field directive.

Because there's no field personnel, there's no NSA ID cards printed, annalists receive either DOD or Military IDs (I'm not sure which, off hand). And there's no NSA field agents, so fictional characters like Adam Baldwin's character in Chuck, or Sam Fisher represent something the agency literally does not have personnel for.

Because of the agency's past, it does have a reputation for being a kind of shadow agency, but in point of fact it's just information processing.

Beyond that, it's out there, doin' stuff.

The Illuminati gag is probably a redirect by a third party. If it's supposed to be a joke or some nut's serious belief? I don't know.

In other news, I like how the American government uses the global .gov namespace rather than gov.us like a sane country. I think every country should do it. That way Chinese hackers wont be able to tell whose government agency they're hacking. They might even be hacking their own!
