Default The Spooks At NSA Just Got Spookier...

Just saw this on the TV new/investigative program Inside Edition:

Here is a link to a YT version of the documentary cited in the Inside Edition story:

Just when you thought the Shadow State couldn't get any weirder, they take it to a whole new level. What is interesting is they built this facility in the middle of one of the largest US cities; almost always, such facilities are built away from massive urban centers, if not in some remote area, at least in the outer suburbs; most interesting...

Actually, such buildings are not that uncommon, albeit on a much, much smaller scale. Banks have long had IT (or DP, as it was then known) and cash processing facilities in windowless, nondescript buildings, often in the center of a city. My first bank job in Los Angeles (no, not a robbery) was in the cash processing and data processing center for a national bank; the center was a squat, 5-6 story building on Skid Row; if you walked by it, you would have thought it was a parking structure. There were other such buildings servicing other large banks spread throughout the LA Downtown and adjacent environs; at one point or another, I worked in about three or four of the others and it was always the same: some anonymous building, little to no signage, tucked away in what would be considered an 'undesirable' location, and always with high security, of which the average passerby would take no notice. When these buildings began to be established in the 60s and 70s, the banks had a paranoid fixation on the notion the hippies and commies were aiming to raid the banks (I kid you not; the banks really did believe this) so they tried to make their own little forts...

As far as the NYC building is concerned, for those who, like myself, were fans of the TV program, Person Of Interest,...

...Samaritan, anyone?...
