North Korea Offers NSA Asylum, Bidding War for Embattled Agency Heats Up

(Fort Meade) -- Speaking through NSA negotiator Denis Rodman, Kim Jong-un has offered renegade spy agency NSA political asylum in North Korea. Complete terms of the deal have not been released but agency insiders are said to be seriously considering the offer. Mr. Rodman indicated that NSA would be allowed to develop its plans for a perfect surveillance state without the inconvenience of public oversight, “it’s a slam dunk”, said Mr. Rodman.

Ever since the illegal surveillance activities of NSA were disclosed, the agency has been playing a hide and seek game with US legislators, at first denying any such programs existed, followed by admission that it was an innocent misunderstanding by a few rouge agents, followed by admission that NSA has placed every American citizen under a state of permanent surveillance and could they have more money, please.

North Korea is the latest country hoping to attract the behemoth spy agency with an offer of asylum. Other interested nations include Iran, China and a group of former East German Stasi agents who have declared an abandoned North Sea drilling platform as their nation state.

“Clearly, America isn’t ready to handle NSA’s vision for a new self-regulating government where power is as pure as this driven snow I’m about to snort up my nose”, said Mr. Rodman.
