I like it. It's so super-villainy that I can't help but think it's meant tongue-in-cheek. And the logo does look awesome.

#13"NOTHING IS BEYOND OUR REACH" says their tag line. Let that sink in for a minute. It's the mindset of crazies.
Sweet. I, for one, welcome our new Tentacled Overlords! IA! IA! Cthulhu Fhtagn!!!

#14That Octopus is probably one of their tamer patches. The National Reconnaissance Office missions have the best patches - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_NRO_Launches and http://www.thelivingmoon.com/45jack_files/03files/Mission_Pa... detail them rather well.
I found this[1] one to be particularly reassuring.

Or the mindset of a spy sattelite. I honestly don't get what the fuss is all about. They wouldn't launch a spy sattellite with the tagline 'We can only see a very small bit of earth after getting a court to agree on it in triplets', would they?

Hah! One of their patches has the latin motto "Omnis Vestri Substructio Es Servus Ad Nobis", which roughly translates to "All your base are belong to us"!

#17Link-baity title, but warranted, I'd say. The story is that the government is launching a spy satellite with a logo on it featuring a "mascot" -- a giant Kraken-like octopus taking over the planet. Whoever created it could only have been thinking of their bureau's unchecked ability to do what it wanted and not the public's perception of it because the creature, especially its eye, looks menacing, ominous, foreboding,…
How is the title link-baity?

My favourite was their Blues Brothers launch: the satellite Elwood, with a motto "on a mission from DoD"

#20None of the revelations of US spying of the past year have particularly shocked or surprised me, and probably not very many here. The level of sheer insanity displayed in the latest revelations however, with yesterday's "horde of Orcs" and this sickening slogan "nothing is beyond our reach" is worse than I could have imagined. US intelligence has not just gone beyond what is acceptable, they've completely gone off th…
>Historically, this doesn't end well. Doesn't end well for us the little people. Those who operate in the shadows, those have the power to play these games probably have it a lot better since they undoubtedly operate outside the rules they set for the rest of us (witness the lack of accountability shown by anyone who has ever been involved in any of these shenanigans).
You think?
