This sounds like the result of unscrupulous "boot camps" that are common in countries like India - people are told if they sign up and pay $life_savings they can become a programmer and be hired by "The US Government" or other companies for enormous amounts of money.
A mundane class is offered with impractical advice and they're left with no money, little skills, and spamming the internet trying to get "their contract" - and if it doesn't materialize and they go back to the boot camp to complain the scammers blame it on "curl" - see the haxx.se domain? Clearly a hax0r ruined your chance at a better life.
Really? The kind of language used in that post about defense contracts and "my country" and "dipshit" screams India to you?
Or do you just have a prejudice about India and you wanted to make that point anyway?

Based on the rest of your description, those boot camps sound a lot like that Trump University.
