By Jill Reilly | Plan: An operation to troll the NSA has started up online in a bid to jam the spy scanners An operation to troll the NSA has started up online in a bid to jam the spy scanners. The plan is to 'test' the system by sending a message full of terrorist buzz words to the agency Wednesday at 7pm EST. The website was set up in response to the accusations at the U.S. government is collecting and looking at data from Internet companies like Google, Facebook and Apple through a secretive program codenamed PRISM. Operation 'Troll The NSA' describes the plan stating: 'If millions of us, all at the exact same time, call or email someone with our keywords-of-terror-filled script, we can give our nation's impressive surveillance system the kind of test it deserves. 'They say they don’t read or listen to the contents of our messages. Why not test it out? It'll be fun.' The creators of the website have written a seemingly innocent email about a bad job and travel plans addressed from a disgruntled employee to a friend. Operation: The plan is to 'test' the system by sending a message full of terrorist buzz words to the agency Wednesday at 7pm EST. But words designed to catch the scanner's interest litter the script, including famous American landmarks such as 'Manhattan,' 'Golden Gate Bridge', 'Brooklyn Bridge',' Verrazano Narrows Bridge' and 'Financial District.' It also included words associated with terrorists such as 'death to millions of Americans,' 'strike at any second' and 'oppressive regime.' They hope that the scanner will pick up the words and consequently get jammed from the overload.

Chris Baker and Mike Lacher, creative directors at the news site, say they hope millions of people will take part. 'It would be amazing if we actually did screw with their systems a little bit,' said Baker. 'But the ultimate goal is that the site itself will get enough attention ... that NSA becomes aware of it on some level and gives them a moment to reflect on their duties,' he told the Daily Beast. Edward Snowden, the NSA whistleblower who leaked the secret information about a classified U.S. government surveillance program is currently on the run in Hong Kong. Snowden, 29, is a technology expert working for a private firm subcontracted to the US National Security Agency. Last week he told the Guardian newspaper of a mammoth surveillance operation run by the NSA on telephone and Internet records around the world. In the US he has been branded a traitor and there is pressure for his extradition from Hong Kong. However, he has triggered a debate in many countries on whether state snooping goes too far.

My job is so shitty I wish I could overthrow my boss. It’s like this oppressive regime where only true believers in his management techniques will stay around. I work marathon-length hours and he’s made all these changes that have made it the worst architecture firm to work at in Manhattan. Like he moved the office to the Financial District and fired my assistant. She was the only one who knew where the blueprints were! I need access to those blueprints to complete my job! F my life, right? And he keeps trying to start all these new initiatives to boost revenue, but seriously we just need to stick to what we do best. There’s only one true profit center. I seriously feel ready to go on strike at any second. I just read this article about how these free radical particles can cause the downfall of good health and accelerate aging. These could actually cause death to millions of Americans. If these particles are flying around undetected everywhere, does that mean we’re all radicalized? Have you seen the second season of Breaking Bad? I just finished it. I couldn’t believe that episode where they poison the guy with ricin! That was the bomb! I won’t say any more because I don’t want to reveal the earth-shattering events to come. Oh! So I’ve been planning a big trip for the summer. I’m thinking of visiting all of the most famous suspension bridges in the United States. So probably like the Golden Gate Bridge, The Brooklyn Bridge, and the Verrazano Narrows Bridge. I’m gonna bring my younger brother and I know he’ll want to go to bars, so I’m thinking of getting him a fake drivers license, but I hope that doesn’t blow up in my face. Okay, I gotta run! I’m late for flight school. I missed the last class where we learn how to land, so I really can’t miss another one. Talk to you later! Some genius should write a script that uses words like this and puts them into a letter form. One message sent many times can be ignored. Better to send different letters. ------------------------------------------ Why should we worship in God what we detest in man? -Robert Ingersoll
Ya really wanna jam 'em up, start a program having kids text some of those keywords in every text they send. Teens are little anarchists to begin with, so I'm sure they'd be eager to join in. I might start my kids on that project today.

“The most dangerous man to any government is the man who is able to think things out... without regard to the prevailing superstitions and taboos. Almost inevitably he comes to the conclusion that the government he lives under is dishonest, insane, intolerable.” ~ H. L. Mencken
Hey! How’s it going? I’m all right.
