USS Pueblo
The USS Pueblo, under Commander Lloyd M. Bucher, was captured by North Korea in 1968, the first U.S. Navy ship hi-jacked by a foreign military force in more than 150 years.
The details of the capture of the Banner-class technical research ship (Navy intelligence) remain murky even to this day. North Korea insisted the ship had strayed into its territorial waters. The United States maintains that the vessel was in international waters.
Either way, the Pueblo found itself in the sights of a sub chaser. When the ship's nationality was challenged the Pueblo responded by raising the U.S. flag. The North Korean vessel then ordered the American ship to stand down or be fired upon. Pueblo attempted to maneuver away, but was considerably slower than the sub chaser. Soon torpedo boats appeared on the horizon and MiG-21 fighters in the sky. Finally, a fourth torpedo boat and a second sub chaser also came onto the scene.
Even while all this firepower was amassing against it, the Pueblo's ammunition was in storage below decks and its machine guns were wrapped in cold-weather tarpaulins and unmanned.
The North Koreans attempted to board Pueblo, but when the US ship's crew resisted the sub chasers opened cannon fire while the smaller vessels hit the Pueblo with their machine guns.
The Americans signaled compliance and then furiously attempted to destroy all the sensitive material on board. But it was too late. There was too much material on board and that made it impossible to destroy everything.
Pueblo acquiesced and followed the North Korean vessels as ordered but then stopped immediately outside North Korean waters. After losing a man, the Pueblo was finally boarded. The remaining crew members had their hands tied, were blindfolded, and then beaten and prodded with bayonets.
What was the reason for this provocation? Likely North Korea was merely doing the Soviet Union's bidding, attacking Pueblo to find a cryptographic machine onboard that would match a key provided by the infamous spy, John Walker.
Pueblo, still held by North Korea to this very day, is used to promote anti-Americanism.
The very coat and pants worn by Pueblo Commander Lloyd M. Bucher when he came out of North Korea are poignantly displayed as the centerpiece of the National Cryptologic Museum's USS Pueblo exhibit.
AMERICAN VISIONARY ART MUSEUM: Greatest Collection Ever of Contemporary Art - Baltimore, MD
We visited this amazing art museum on MLK Jr. day which was the only day of the year it is open for free to the public. There are so many vibrant and interesting works that you could spend almost an entire day there. Most of the pieces were done by artists with mental illness which makes it much more fascinating than your average art museum. We also checked out the amazing gift shop which might be the best gift shop in the country and I'd say this is one of the best art museums in the country as well. If you're in Baltimore on a trip or just nearby you can't miss out on this place!

Hobo
A hobo is a migratory worker or homeless vagabond—especially one who is penniless. The term originated in the Western—probably Northwestern—United States around 1890. Unlike tramps—who work only when they are forced to, and bums—who do not work at all, hobos are itinerant workers.

National Security Agency | Wikipedia audio article
The National Security Agency (NSA) is a national-level intelligence agency of the United States Department of Defense, under the authority of the Director of National Intelligence. The NSA is responsible for global monitoring, collection, and processing of information and data for foreign intelligence and counterintelligence purposes, specializing in a discipline known as signals intelligence (SIGINT). The NSA is also tasked with the protection of U.S. communications networks and information systems. The NSA relies on a variety of measures to accomplish its mission, the majority of which are clandestine.Originating as a unit to decipher coded communications in World War II, it was officially formed as the NSA by President Harry S. Truman in 1952. Since then, it has become the largest of the U.S. intelligence organizations in terms of personnel and budget. The NSA currently conducts worldwide mass data collection and has been known to physically bug electronic systems as one method to this end. The NSA has also been alleged to have been behind such attack software as Stuxnet, which severely damaged Iran's nuclear program. The NSA, alongside the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), maintains a physical presence in many countries across the globe; the CIA/NSA joint Special Collection Service (a highly classified intelligence team) inserts eavesdropping devices in high value targets (such as Presidential palaces or embassies). SCS collection tactics allegedly encompass close surveillance, burglary, wiretapping, [and] breaking and entering.Unlike the CIA and the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA), both of which specialize primarily in foreign human espionage, the NSA does not publicly conduct human-source intelligence gathering. The NSA is entrusted with providing assistance to, and the coordination of, SIGINT elements for other government organizations - which are prevented by law from engaging in such activities on their own. As part of these responsibilities, the agency has a co-located organization called the Central Security Service (CSS), which facilitates cooperation between the NSA and other U.S. defense cryptanalysis components. To further ensure streamlined communication between the signals intelligence community divisions, the NSA Director simultaneously serves as the Commander of the United States Cyber Command and as Chief of the Central Security Service.
The NSA's actions have been a matter of political controversy on several occasions, including its spying on anti-Vietnam-war leaders and the agency's participation in economic espionage. In 2013, the NSA had many of its secret surveillance programs revealed to the public by Edward Snowden, a former NSA contractor. According to the leaked documents, the NSA intercepts and stores the communications of over a billion people worldwide, including United States citizens. The documents also revealed the NSA tracks hundreds of millions of people's movements using cellphones metadata. Internationally, research has pointed to the NSA's ability to surveil the domestic Internet traffic of foreign countries through boomerang routing.
