It’s a curious thing. I’m not dismissing any of their claims, but I find it a bit interesting that they can so easily uncover everything that the government doesn’t want you to know when it’s hidden for a reason.

    Conspiracy theories can be revealed to be true. They’re not all bullshit.

    In the 90s I was in the rabbit hole about Echelon and had a healthy paranoia about my privacy.

    So when Snowden dropped the leaks about mass government surveillance I wasn’t surprised at all. I assumed everyone knew. But nope - apparently Echelon was a “conspiracy theory” and so was all the Snowden stuff until - it wasn’t.

    That’s my personal experience but there’s others like MKUltra.
