I believe it's not hard to be a spy, if you have the natural talent to understand and see through thing's, that people want you to take as truth or reality. The ability can't be taught it must be inherited and, must take it's strength from from the style of thinker you are.
For example ( Pragmatist, Synthesist, Idealist, Realist and Analyst.They all have there strength and weakness's. Once you have, but not necessarily master , but understand each mental way of thinking,it will not only allow you to infiltrate organization's physically but mentally. It is also good to no the physiognomy of people of different culture's this will compliment the stuyle of thinking you need to adaptin order to sucessfuly operate within the skillcraft.

I was wondering what the career outlook is for college students striving to obtain degrees in mathematics and physics. So far I have taught myself through Calculus 3 and Differential from the text book. My understanding of the relationships mathematics imposes has only excelled in recent years. I barely even attend class and will have a 4.0 after next semester, and A's in all math classes. I am currently a student at a Virginia community college which has maybe placed me off the radar, but aside from that my intention is to transfer to either MIT, NYU, or to a California institute for the remainder of my undergrad and post-grad education. As technology grows so does the need for higher intelligence, and mathematical minds use analysis to answer questions while finding new problems. Using mathematical methods could improve the already extensive Intelligence gathering methods in the U.S.. I want to be the one who pushes the limits of modern technology for the good of the nation.

The unaired dark side of Facebook, or should I call it “Disgracebook” because of the extremely poor disgraceful way Facebook treats its members. The reason I say the unaired dark side of Facebook is I have yet to see anything announced on the prime time major news outlets about the disgraceful practices Facebook uses on its members. The Internet is bursting at its seems with unhappy disabled Facebook members who have posted thousands of complaints everywhere it is possible to post complaints about Facebooks complete lack of customer service and mean spirited disregard for concerns, questions and feedback from members and former members.
If anyone thinks Facebook is “listening” to its members or advertisers or anyone wanting to communicate with them, they simply DO NOT know what they are talking about! Facebook ruthlessly, rigorously, relentlessly, and remorselessly walks all over its members with hob nailed boot polices of culling members from membership for unspecified unknown reasons and then accuses the permanently disabled unacceptable members as “possibly” being guilty of spamming or “possibly” being guilty of harassing other members because of asking too many members to be friends at an unspecified rate. Facebook goes on to permanently disable unacceptable members accounts that have too many friends, belongs to too many groups, pokes too many unknown times, sends too many email messages and on and on and on. The founder of Facebook, Mark Zuckerberg, says that Facebook members seem to take a “personal ownership” of their Facebook accounts. Well, golly gee Mark, Facebook is supposedly a SOCIAL Internet program that people join to meet and make new friends. Making new friends, at least to me, is personal and publishing real photographs and genuine personal information on Facebook seems personal to me. Maybe you should say in your rules and regulations that Facebook wants members to be real and genuine but do not join Facebook for personal reasons and do not expect to be treated in a true genuine caring manner because Facebook does not care in the least about what you think or how you feel. When Facebook says you are guilty of breaking polices you will be treated with complete lack of respect in an impersonal sterile manner and declared unacceptable and permanently banned from Facebook without recourse.
On Mark Zuckerberg’s Facebook Fan Page Mark states “I’m trying to make the world a more open place by helping people connect and share.” I am glad Mark says he is “trying etc.” because, in my opinion, he certainly has NOT accomplished his mission. Facebook is one of the most closed undemocratic uncaring unsocial business operations since the formation of the Gestapo. Facebook operates carte blanche without regard of a due process of rights for members Facebook deems unacceptable to be a member of its supposed Internet social network service and therefore, disables their account without warning. Facebook justifies its policy and actions under the euphemism of “protecting members” from “repeated actions that COULD BE CONSTRUED as spam,” and from anything Facebook makes up to be a threat to its security. Although Facebook publishes what it SAYS are its rules and regulations, Facebooks security is a computer program of unpublished nonspecific rules and regulations that are enforced by an automated, autocratic, uncaring broadly defined bureaucratic computer program that members violate without knowing it and then booted out of Facebook. If this is not Gestapo like policy, I guess I do not know what it is because it certainly is un-American to say the least!
Furthermore, in my opinion, Facebook is NOT a Internet “social network service.” When joining Facebook you are, in reality, joining an Internet money making “computer advertising program” that is set up to look like a Internet “social network service” for the public. In essence, the Internet “social network service” is a screen or cover for a “computerized advertising” empire designed with one thing in mind, the bottom line profits for Facebook investors. I am all for investors making a profit and if the investors will wake up they can increase their profits by paying attention to the consumer members of Facebook. As it stands now, the consumer is NOT king on Facebook. Facebook can at any time without having to explain its decision declare any member persona non grata. Is it any wonder Facebook members are treated with total disregard for being feeling thinking real people? I have yet to know of a computer program that is able to feel and or to reason. When placing a phone call to Facebook you are treated rudely and crassly informed to use their computerized automated services, which do not reply when used or quickly transferred to an automated answering service to which there is no reply. Why a business would choose to advertise on “Disgracebook” is beyond my ability to understand sound business practices? I know that I will not purchase any goods or services advertised on “Disgracebook” and I urge anyone mauled by “Disgracebooks” insensitivity to boycott anything advertised by this disgraceful, despicable, sorry company!
If “Disgracebook” is treating its foreign members as poorly as it treats its domestic members “Disgracebook” is not only giving itself a black eye it is giving the United States of America a black eye. Is there anyone out there who cares enough and can communicate with Facebook to help Facebook become a user friendly Internet social network service it claims to be?
I strongly urge anyone interested to please research what I am informing you of because I assure you the situation I have explained is the truth and nothing but the truth so help me God. Until the media and or business community and elected officials takes notice of and makes public “Disgracebooks” dark side inhuman treatment of people Mark Zuckerberg and his staff and money making computer program will continue to execute its falsely accused unacceptable members and fill up trenches behind “Disgracebooks” California headquarters with their discarded accounts.

Ehh...CIA is overrated today. Intelligence can be freely researched by anyone with the right mindset today. Internet makes access to Data much more convenient and easy.
Seek and you will find.

Tinfoil hats.. paranoia... It's an article. It's written by a person with an opinion. It will be biased to one side or the other. And, being human as we are, we will either agree or disagree. But to stoop down and call one another morons or idiots. People, please. Settle down. It's Facebook. What you post there is for others(anyone really) to see. I just think it's rather amusing that they go and use this method. If they want to spy on you they can, easily. Your computer is a gateway of personal information and data. And even if you think you covered it up or deleted the information, surprise, it's still there, stored away in a little place normal everyday users won't be able to find. So if they really want to know you better, they can so long as your computer is open to the network of the 'interweb'(internet to those who are unfamiliar with the term). Now, lets all calm down, sit and eat some tea and cumpets, and just be friends in this very annoying yet addicting thing called... Facebook.

Whats the point of stimulis when the rich gets richer and the poor gets poorer. I might not know much about economics buit hasnt almost every other stimulis plan failed in the past? So my question is, whats the point?

Comment made in “this sounds fo familiar” is absolutely right. Facebook is for spying of regular people on other regular people. I constantly go in facebook to find out what other people are doing. Somewhat keep with the times, see if anything good is going on. Or just check out people images. So if CIA is spying with facebook, I know of a lot of people not working for CIA doing exactly same thing. By the way anyone can see a lot of things on facebook, so if you try to get a job, they do check facebook for you, don’t put anything on it you don’t want other to know.
