Ex-NSA Director Keith Alexander's Investments In Tech Firms: "No Conflict"

Posted by timothy on from the picking-winners dept.

Presto Vivace (882157) writes "No conflicts appear to exist" among Keith Alexander's investments, the NSA said. "New financial disclosure documents released this month by the National Security Agency (NSA) show that Keith Alexander, who served as its director from August 2005 until March 2014, had thousands of dollars of investments during his tenure in a handful of technology firms." Don't worry, the NSA assures us that there was no conflict of interest.

    That is the only possible reason why they basically can do as they like, violate nay laws they do not like, lie under oath, etc. all without any consequences whatsoever. The basically form a "state in the state" with its own laws. For a few historical examples where such evil machinations lead, look for example at the events leading to WW2 and the role of the "Wehrmacht".

    Most ACs are not even worth the keystrokes to insult them. Be generically insulted by this and ignored otherwise.

    Not only that, seems like for the last 10-20 years I haven't voted for the candidate I like most, but for the less evil candidate. They all want to fuck me up the ass and I'm forced to choose lube or no lube.
