The Most Secret Spy System

Google Video and Youtube are hosting the entire History Channel episode of 'History Undercover' in which they explain the Echelon spy system. There's a few funny claims like Echelon is so super secret that no one inside the government will acknowledge it even exists. Which leads one to reason that this is either a blatant lie and the evidence is confirmed in some official manner, or the History channel has absolutely no solid, journalistic basis for this story and is literally just broadcasting unadulterated bunk. Chances are, they probably are just making it up. The government paid off the History Channel to do an "exclusive" and then put together a bunch of old scenes from telephone operating centers and early ARPANET systems. Listening to phone calls with satellites....ninja please. As if the U.S. would ever work in conjunction with their oldest enemy, the British, or cooperate with that perennial scapegoat Canada. In your dreams, people. By the way, the Lunar Landing was shot in sub-basement C7 of a military base in the western U.S. with Hasselblad data cameras that can't possibly withstand the radiation of space travel. Deal with it. Oh, and Santa Claus isn't real either. Sorry to burst your collective bubble.



Installments two, three, four, and five.
