What makes the site incredibly fun to read is its taking on the voice of an NSA that embraces the openness about domestic intelligence gathering brought on by the Snowden leaks. The shadowy, secretive agency finally gets to put its feet up and brag about what it's doing to "secure the future." (That, by the way, is the NSA's real tagline.) The "Surveillance Strategies" section raves about PRISM giving the NSA "important insights into [targets'] thoughts and intentions." In a candid explanation about why "Your Data" is being collected, the site explains that it's "thanks to top-secret Fourth Amendment exceptions allowed by the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court."
The site's creator, who wishes to remain anonymous, is a master aggregator, finding incredible trivia by diving, for example, into funding spreadsheets to surface the codename for the NSA data center in Utah: Bumblehive. I will call him the DNPI -- Director of National Parodied Intelligence. The DNPI -- who also runs a White House parody site -- is U.S.-based with a tech background. He created the NSA site in October after reading James Bamford's Wired piece about the "country's biggest spycenter." Since then it's had over 95,000 visitors, including a few from the NSA according to his site analytics. It's also fooled a few people, as parody sites do, who were surprised by the agency's candor.
