Octopussy

[TheBadger]

So just wanted to show this to anyone who has not seen it yet.
But my"government" aka *rulers* have gone ahead and created a logo for one of thier products (yes, products) that, well, is pretty much a mockery of the opostion to the rising police state in the US. But also I would argue a mockery of Law, the Constitution, and of justice set forth in the Constitution.

This is quite real by the way

Now even if this is not a deliberate insult to those questioning NATO governments, and spicifically the U.S. Gov's,  reach into the privet lives of free people. Then at least its a boldface show of incompetence, and perhaps also plagiarism? I mean, adding insult to injury in not smart politics.

By the way, I found this last image on a Chinese government propaganda site, sorta like russian rt  news service.
What does it tell us that the truth is available from propaganda machines from totalitarian states, but not the free press of the "4TH estate" in the US?.. Makes me want to puke!

And just checking, but has anyone here heard a feed of the president answering why he ordered the deliberate killing of an unarmed american child yet? Or even of him being asked about it? Sorry to keep harping out here in the internets, but it seems like kinda a big deal.

Y'know, something just doesn't add up here.  The NRO tries to keep a profile that's lower than a snail's butt to the dirt. Not only do they not seek observation, they go to excessive lengths to avoid it. So I have to ask myself "Why?" Why would they create a logo that actually looks devious - almost fiendish - and in such a brightly colored, cartoonish manner? It's almost like they want people to notice it, and click on it, and paste it to other websites. And that wouldn't make any sense at all unless this logo actually carried a virus payload that injects snippets of code into browsers as they passed through a website.  Don't know what that virus payload would be intent on doing. I'm just sayin'.....
Which - if true - means we all just got owned.

Other logos here are equally sinister/odd/ironic???

Power+arrogance+stupidy (not thinking about how that logo could backslash)
Maybe they don't give a f...k about any of this .When you really think that "nothing is beyond our reach" sounds logical...or?

I am surprised that there is still not the anti cloud movement that i thought would be after all we learned .
Anyone who puts his sensitive data on any cloud out on the internet is practically a fool.
Everybody who uses the internet does this in a way yada yada...but you know what i mean.

The octopus is reaonable symbology, ignoring that the same government that is using it, also used it as propaganda against others. 
But otherwise it would be reasonable because the eight arms of the octopus says it can do many things at once, that it has reach, like the agency.

The inconsistencies annoy me greatly though.
Because like words, symbols have meaning, but when meanings are changed it becomes impossible for people to communicate with one another.
What does it say that the symbols of my government are now the same symbles we atrributed to our worst enemies?

It irritates me a lot that its a cartoon.
why the cartoon aesthetic? It conveys all the seriousness of a saturday morning cartoon.

Its some kind of joke I think. Some kind of sickly inside joke.

Its just so stupid.

Here! Now its perfect. Hope you like it. I worked for like 10 whole minutes on it.
