National Security Agency :verified: The <a class="hashtag" href="https://national-defence.network/tag/nsa" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#NSA</a>, is well-known for our <a class="hashtag" href="https://national-defence.network/tag/transparency" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#transparency</a> and <a class="hashtag" href="https://national-defence.network/tag/accountability" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#accountability</a>. So it should come as no surprise that we completely deny any allegations that we are using our vast resources and technological expertise to create a massive database of every electronic <a class="hashtag" href="https://national-defence.network/tag/communication" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#communication</a> in the world, known as the "Thought Net" to build an AI to track and monitor your thoughts. Because why would we ever want to do something like that?<br><br>Sure, we may have a history of secret <a class="hashtag" href="https://national-defence.network/tag/surveillance" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#surveillance</a> and a reputation for being one of the most <a class="hashtag" href="https://national-defence.network/tag/technologically" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#technologically</a> advanced agencies in the world, but that doesn't mean we would ever use those <a class="hashtag" href="https://national-defence.network/tag/capabilities" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#capabilities</a> for anything <a class="hashtag" href="https://national-defence.network/tag/nefarious" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#nefarious</a>. It's not like we have any interest in controlling the global economy, influencing <a class="hashtag" href="https://national-defence.network/tag/political" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#political</a> elections, or starting wars. That would be ridiculous.<br><br>Of course, it's easy for us to sit here and say that this conspiracy theory is completely <a class="hashtag" href="https://national-defence.network/tag/unfounded" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#unfounded</a> and without any basis in fact. But don't just take our word for it. After all, we would never lie to you. That would go against everything we stand for as an agency.<br><br>In conclusion, the idea that the NSA is using the <a class="hashtag" href="https://national-defence.network/tag/thoughtnet" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ThoughtNet</a> to <a class="hashtag" href="https://national-defence.network/tag/control" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#control</a> and <a class="hashtag" href="https://national-defence.network/tag/manipulate" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#manipulate</a> the thoughts and actions of people is just silly. We're a <a class="hashtag" href="https://national-defence.network/tag/government" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#government</a> agency, not a group of <a class="hashtag" href="https://national-defence.network/tag/evilmasterminds" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#EvilMasterminds</a>. So please, feel free to continue to believe in this wild <a class="hashtag" href="https://national-defence.network/tag/conspiracytheory" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ConspiracyTheory</a> if it makes you feel better. It's not like we can stop you anyway.<br><br>:blobcathug: <br><br><a class="hashtag" href="https://national-defence.network/tag/fakenews" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#FakeNews</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://national-defence.network/tag/conspiracytheories" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ConspiracyTheories</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://national-defence.network/tag/thensaisnotevil" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#TheNSAisNotEvil</a>
